* Fragmento "TRINITY AND BEYOND, THE ATOMIC BOMB MOVIE" dirigida por Peter Kuran y narrado por William Shatner.
* Nuclear tests channel
Cruces de la operación fue una serie de armas nucleares las pruebas realizadas por el Estados Unidos en el atolón de Bikini , a mediados de 1946. Fue la primera prueba de un arma nuclear desde la Trinidad prueba nuclear en julio de 1945, y la primera detonación de un dispositivo nuclear desde el bombardeo atómico de Nagasaki el 9 de agosto de 1945. Su propósito fue investigar el efecto de las armas nucleares en los buques de guerra.
Encrucijada consistieron en dos detonaciones, cada uno con un rendimiento de 23 kilotones de TNT (96 terajoules ): Capaz fue detonada a una altura de 520 pies (160 m), el 1 de julio de 1946; panadero fue detonada 90 pies (27 metros) bajo el agua en 25 de julio 1946. Una tercera explosión, Charlie , prevista para 1947, se canceló debido principalmente a la Marina de Estados Unidos incapacidad 's para descontaminar los buques de destino después de que el panadero de prueba. Charlie fue reprogramada como Operación Wigwam , un tiro de aguas profundas realizadas en 1955 frente a las costas de California . Las pruebas Crossroads fueron la cuarta y quinta explosiones nucleares llevadas a cabo por los Estados Unidos (después de la prueba de la trinidad y de los bombardeos de Hiroshima y Nagasaki ). Ellos fueron la primera de muchas pruebas nucleares realizadas en las Islas Marshall y el primero en ser anunciado públicamente de antemano y observado por un público invitado, entre ellos un gran cuerpo de prensa .
Residentes nativos de Bikini acordaron evacuar la isla, con más de pasar a la Atoll Rongerik . Más tarde, en la década de 1950, una serie de grandes ensayos termonucleares sea apto Bikini para la agricultura de subsistencia y la pesca . Debido a la contaminación radiactiva, Bikini permanece deshabitada desde 2013, a pesar de que es visitada ocasionalmente por buceadores deportivos . Aunque hay quien aduce que los participantes en los cruces de la operación pruebas estaban bien protegidos contra la enfermedad por radiación , un estudio mostró que la expectativa de vida de los participantes se redujo en un promedio de tres meses. El panadero prueba contaminado todas las naves de destino. Fue el primer caso de inmediato, concentrado local de la lluvia radioactiva de una explosión nuclear. Químico Glenn Seaborg , el presidente más longevo de la Comisión de Energía Atómica , llamado Baker, "primer desastre nuclear del mundo"
En Baker, el 25 de julio, el arma fue suspendido por debajo de la lancha de desembarque LSM-60 anclado en medio de la flota de destino. Baker, fue detonado 90 pies (27 metros) bajo el agua, a mitad de camino hasta el fondo en el agua 180 pies (55 m) de profundidad. ¿Cómo / Mike Hour era 08:35. Ninguna parte identificable de LSM-60 nunca se encontró, que fue presuntamente vaporizado por la bola de fuego nuclear. Diez barcos fueron hundidos, incluyendo el alemán crucero pesado Prinz Eugen , que se hundió en diciembre, cinco meses después de la prueba, ya que la radiactividad impidió reparación de una fuga en el casco.
Fotografías del panadero son únicos entre las imágenes de detonación nuclear. El destello cegador que normalmente oscurece la zona objetivo tuvo lugar bajo el agua y apenas se ve. La imagen más clara de los buques en el primer plano y el fondo da un sentido de escala. La gran nube de Wilson y la columna de agua verticales son distintivos de Baker características tiro, por lo que las imágenes fácilmente identificable. La imagen más notable muestra un signo de que el 27,000 ton acorazado USS Arkansas era.
Al igual que con Able , cualquier nave que se mantuvo a flote a 1.000 yardas (914 m) de la detonación se vieron seriamente dañados, pero esta vez el daño vinieron desde abajo, desde la presión de agua en lugar de la presión del aire. La mayor diferencia entre los dos disparos, sin embargo, fue la contaminación radiactiva de los barcos objetivo de panadero . Independientemente del grado de daño, sólo nueve supervivientes del panadero barcos objetivo finalmente fueron descontaminados y vendidos como chatarra. El resto fueron hundidos en el mar después de los esfuerzos de descontaminación fracasaron.

In 1946, the United States ordered the 167 inhabitants of Bikini Atoll (a coral reef in the Marshall Islands of Micronesia) to evacuate their ancestral home for the purpose of nuclear weapons testing.
Through fascinating underwater photography, rare historic footage, and the eyes of the survivors, you will experience the beauty and tragedy of Bikini: Forbidden Paradise.
As seen on ABC. Narrated by Linda Hunt.
The WORLD OF DISCOVERY series takes you to the far corners of the globe to explore the secrets of nature and wildlife, the frontiers of science and technology, and the compelling questions of history and the world we live in.

This was dropped 24th May 1956 by a Boeing B-52 from 55,000 ft to ignite at 15,000 ft over Bikini Atoll. This was one of a number of tests at the time. The force of a million tons of TNT released. Over twenty bomb tests were conducted before the United States government officially returned control of the islands back to the natives in 1957. Explosion skiffs carrying radiation detection devices are lowered and anchored at strategic points in the blast area, for the collection of this data is one of the main objectives of the entire test and will determine in great measure chances of survival in the event of nuclear war.

Excellent documentary on the (forgotten nowadays) fourth and fifth nuclear explosions in the world's history: dropping the bomb on Bikini Atoll on July 1, 1946, and detonating another one 3 weeks later.
This film had been aired by PBS as the second episode of an "American Experience" series in 1988 and reruns have been shown on IFC channel since. It has been nominated for the Oscar in 1988 or 1989, yet this little gem is still mostly obscure and unknown to general audience, while propaganda crap like "Inconvenient Truth" packing lies and misinterpretations for the benefits of the corporations is still in such heavy rotation...
I had nothing to do with the production of this film, but I have repaired the sound in this copy (because all the copies have had such unintelligibly quiet parts that I had to do something about it). Enjoy.

Im Juli 1946 verändert sich die Welt im Südseeparadies Bikini-Atoll schlagartig. 42.000 amerikanische Soldaten, verteilt auf 260 Schiffe, fallen in das winzige Eiland ein, um einen der größten Atombombentests in der Geschichte der Vereinigten Staaten durchzuführen. In den Gewässern vor der Insel soll eine Armada ausgemusterter Schiffe in die Luft gejagt werden. Für das militärische Großprojekt ließ das Militär die Insulaner, die dort seit Generationen lebten, kurzerhand zwangsumsiedeln. Im März 2008 macht sich ein internationales Team von Wissenschaftlern auf die Suche nach dem nuklearen Erbe von "Operation Crossroads".
Wie ein Mahnmal liegt noch heute die Geisterflotte vom Bikini-Atoll auf dem Grund der Lagune - darunter auch der deutsche Zerstörer Prinz Eugen, der legendäre amerikanische Flugzeugträger USS Saratoga und das japanische Schlachtschiff Nagato.
Nach über drei Wochen auf See steuert die amerikanische Yacht MY Octopus den brisanten Fundort inmitten des Pazifischen Ozeans an. Mit an Bord der amerikanische Marinehistoriker Steve Wiper, Dr. Claus Bunnenberg vom Zentrum für Strahlenschutz und Radioökologie in Hannover und der erfahrene Taucher Jim Akroyd aus Großbritannien. Die Crew will das Küstengewässer rund um die Insel und den Zustand der Schiffwracks gründlich untersuchen. Denn möglicherweise geht von dem unterseeischen Friedhof akute Gefahr aus. Dabei steht den Experten die derzeit modernste Ausrüstung zur Verfügung. Das Tauchboot "Pagoo" bietet Platz für acht Personen und ist mit einem ferngesteuerten Roboter sowie einer hochauflösenden Kamera ausgestattet. So können die Wissenschaftler mühelos bis zu acht Stunden in der Tiefe bleiben und notwendige Proben nehmen.
Marinehistoriker Steve Wiper kann die Begutachtung der verschiedenen Wracks kaum erwarten. Jedes einzelne Schiff erzählt eine dramatische Geschichte aus dem Zweiten Weltkrieg. Von der Dreadnought Nagato wurde der Angriff auf Pearl Harbour geplant und befohlen. Auch der Flugzeugträger USS Saratoga war in das damalige Schlachtgeschehen verwickelt und wurde seit seiner Indienststellung 1927 mehrfach nachhaltig getroffen. Und der Schwere Kreuzer Prinz Eugen erlangte auf dem Atlantik im Handelskrieg gegen England traurige Berühmtheit, bevor der Zerstörer nach der Kapitulation in die Hände der Amerikaner fiel - nur drei von insgesamt vierzig stillgelegten Kriegsschiffen, die auf Befehl des US-Präsidenten Harry Truman im Juli 1946 unweit des Bikini-Atolls ihrem Ende durch eine Atombombenexplosion entgegensehen.

Bikini Atoll (pronounced /ˈbɪ.kɨˌni/ or /bɨˈki.ni/; Marshallese: Pikinni, /pʲɨkɨnʲnʲɨɦʲ/ or [pi͡ɯɡɯ͡innij]) is an atoll, listed as a World Heritage Site, in the Micronesian Islands of the Pacific Ocean, part of Republic of the Marshall Islands.
It consists of 23 islands surrounding a deep 229.4-square-mile (594.1 km2) central lagoon at the northern end of the Ralik Chain (approximately 87 kilometres (54 mi) northwest of Ailinginae Atoll and 850 kilometres (530 mi) northwest of Majuro), now universally significant to the world as follows:
Within Bikini Atoll, Bikini Island is the northeastern most and largest islet, measuring 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) long. About twelve kilometres to the northwest is the islet of Aomen. As part of the Pacific Proving Grounds it was the site of more than 20 nuclear weapons tests between 1946 and 1958.
The first Westerner to see the atoll, in the mid-1820s, was the Russian captain and explorer Otto von Kotzebue, who named the atoll Eschscholtz Atoll after the Russian scientist Johann Friedrich von Eschscholtz. The atoll, however, has always been called Bikini by the native Marshall Islanders, from Marshallese "Pik" meaning "surface" and "Ni" meaning "coconut". The name was popularized in the United States not only by nuclear bomb tests, but because the bikini swimsuit was named after the island in 1946. The two-piece swimsuit was introduced within days of the first nuclear test on the atoll, when the name of the island was in the news. Introduced just weeks after the one-piece "Atome" was widely advertised as the "smallest bathing suit in the world", it was said that the bikini "split the atom".

Bikini Atoll Nuclear Testing 1956 - the "H-Bomb" Test
This was dropped 24th May 1956 by a Boeing B-52 from 55,000 ft to ignite at 15,000 ft over Bikini Atoll. This was one of a number of tests at the time. The force of a million tons of TNT released. Over twenty bomb tests were conducted before the United States government officially returned control of the islands back to the natives in 1957. Explosion skiffs carrying radiation detection devices are lowered and anchored at strategic points in the blast area, for the collection of this data is one of the main objectives of the entire test and will determine in great measure chances of survival in the event of nuclear war. -

Radio Bikini - FULL MOVIE
Excellent documentary on the (forgotten nowadays) fourth and fifth nuclear explosions in the world's history: dropping the bomb on Bikini Atoll on July 1, 1946, and detonating another one 3 weeks later. This film had been aired by PBS as the second episode of an "American Experience" series in 1988 and reruns have been shown on IFC channel since. It has been nominated for the Oscar in 1988 or 1989, yet this little gem is still mostly obscure and unknown to general audience, while propaganda crap like "Inconvenient Truth" packing lies and misinterpretations for the benefits of the corporations is still in such heavy rotation...

Cruces de la operación fue una serie de armas nucleares las pruebas realizadas por el Estados Unidos en el atolón de Bikini , a mediados de 1946. Fue la primera prueba de un arma nuclear desde la Trinidad prueba nuclear en julio de 1945, y la primera detonación de un dispositivo nuclear desde el bombardeo atómico de Nagasaki el 9 de agosto de 1945. Su propósito fue investigar el efecto de las armas nucleares en los buques de guerra.
Encrucijada consistieron en dos detonaciones, cada uno con un rendimiento de 23 kilotones de TNT (96 terajoules ): Capaz fue detonada a una altura de 520 pies (160 m), el 1 de julio de 1946; panadero fue detonada 90 pies (27 metros) bajo el agua en 25 de julio 1946. Una tercera explosión, Charlie , prevista para 1947, se canceló debido principalmente a la Marina de Estados Unidos incapacidad 's para descontaminar los buques de destino después de que el panadero de prueba. Charlie fue reprogramada como Operación Wigwam , un tiro de aguas profundas realizadas en 1955 frente a las costas de California . Las pruebas Crossroads fueron la cuarta y quinta explosiones nucleares llevadas a cabo por los Estados Unidos (después de la prueba de la trinidad y de los bombardeos de Hiroshima y Nagasaki ). Ellos fueron la primera de muchas pruebas nucleares realizadas en las Islas Marshall y el primero en ser anunciado públicamente de antemano y observado por un público invitado, entre ellos un gran cuerpo de prensa .
Residentes nativos de Bikini acordaron evacuar la isla, con más de pasar a la Atoll Rongerik . Más tarde, en la década de 1950, una serie de grandes ensayos termonucleares sea apto Bikini para la agricultura de subsistencia y la pesca . Debido a la contaminación radiactiva, Bikini permanece deshabitada desde 2013, a pesar de que es visitada ocasionalmente por buceadores deportivos . Aunque hay quien aduce que los participantes en los cruces de la operación pruebas estaban bien protegidos contra la enfermedad por radiación , un estudio mostró que la expectativa de vida de los participantes se redujo en un promedio de tres meses. El panadero prueba contaminado todas las naves de destino. Fue el primer caso de inmediato, concentrado local de la lluvia radioactiva de una explosión nuclear. Químico Glenn Seaborg , el presidente más longevo de la Comisión de Energía Atómica , llamado Baker, "primer desastre nuclear del mundo"
En Baker, el 25 de julio, el arma fue suspendido por debajo de la lancha de desembarque LSM-60 anclado en medio de la flota de destino. Baker, fue detonado 90 pies (27 metros) bajo el agua, a mitad de camino hasta el fondo en el agua 180 pies (55 m) de profundidad. ¿Cómo / Mike Hour era 08:35. Ninguna parte identificable de LSM-60 nunca se encontró, que fue presuntamente vaporizado por la bola de fuego nuclear. Diez barcos fueron hundidos, incluyendo el alemán crucero pesado Prinz Eugen , que se hundió en diciembre, cinco meses después de la prueba, ya que la radiactividad impidió reparación de una fuga en el casco.
Fotografías del panadero son únicos entre las imágenes de detonación nuclear. El destello cegador que normalmente oscurece la zona objetivo tuvo lugar bajo el agua y apenas se ve. La imagen más clara de los buques en el primer plano y el fondo da un sentido de escala. La gran nube de Wilson y la columna de agua verticales son distintivos de Baker características tiro, por lo que las imágenes fácilmente identificable. La imagen más notable muestra un signo de que el 27,000 ton acorazado USS Arkansas era.
Al igual que con Able , cualquier nave que se mantuvo a flote a 1.000 yardas (914 m) de la detonación se vieron seriamente dañados, pero esta vez el daño vinieron desde abajo, desde la presión de agua en lugar de la presión del aire. La mayor diferencia entre los dos disparos, sin embargo, fue la contaminación radiactiva de los barcos objetivo de panadero . Independientemente del grado de daño, sólo nueve supervivientes del panadero barcos objetivo finalmente fueron descontaminados y vendidos como chatarra. El resto fueron hundidos en el mar después de los esfuerzos de descontaminación fracasaron.

Im Juli 1946 verändert sich die Welt im Südseeparadies Bikini-Atoll schlagartig. 42.000 amerikanische Soldaten, verteilt auf 260 Schiffe, fallen in das winzige Eiland ein, um einen der größten Atombombentests in der Geschichte der Vereinigten Staaten durchzuführen. In den Gewässern vor der Insel soll eine Armada ausgemusterter Schiffe in die Luft gejagt werden. Für das militärische Großprojekt ließ das Militär die Insulaner, die dort seit Generationen lebten, kurzerhand zwangsumsiedeln. Im März 2008 macht sich ein internationales Team von Wissenschaftlern auf die Suche nach dem nuklearen Erbe von "Operation Crossroads".
Wie ein Mahnmal liegt noch heute die Geisterflotte vom Bikini-Atoll auf dem Grund der Lagune - darunter auch der deutsche Zerstörer Prinz Eugen, der legendäre amerikanische Flugzeugträger USS Saratoga und das japanische Schlachtschiff Nagato.
Nach über drei Wochen auf See steuert die amerikanische Yacht MY Octopus den brisanten Fundort inmitten des Pazifischen Ozeans an. Mit an Bord der amerikanische Marinehistoriker Steve Wiper, Dr. Claus Bunnenberg vom Zentrum für Strahlenschutz und Radioökologie in Hannover und der erfahrene Taucher Jim Akroyd aus Großbritannien. Die Crew will das Küstengewässer rund um die Insel und den Zustand der Schiffwracks gründlich untersuchen. Denn möglicherweise geht von dem unterseeischen Friedhof akute Gefahr aus. Dabei steht den Experten die derzeit modernste Ausrüstung zur Verfügung. Das Tauchboot "Pagoo" bietet Platz für acht Personen und ist mit einem ferngesteuerten Roboter sowie einer hochauflösenden Kamera ausgestattet. So können die Wissenschaftler mühelos bis zu acht Stunden in der Tiefe bleiben und notwendige Proben nehmen.
Marinehistoriker Steve Wiper kann die Begutachtung der verschiedenen Wracks kaum erwarten. Jedes einzelne Schiff erzählt eine dramatische Geschichte aus dem Zweiten Weltkrieg. Von der Dreadnought Nagato wurde der Angriff auf Pearl Harbour geplant und befohlen. Auch der Flugzeugträger USS Saratoga war in das damalige Schlachtgeschehen verwickelt und wurde seit seiner Indienststellung 1927 mehrfach nachhaltig getroffen. Und der Schwere Kreuzer Prinz Eugen erlangte auf dem Atlantik im Handelskrieg gegen England traurige Berühmtheit, bevor der Zerstörer nach der Kapitulation in die Hände der Amerikaner fiel - nur drei von insgesamt vierzig stillgelegten Kriegsschiffen, die auf Befehl des US-Präsidenten Harry Truman im Juli 1946 unweit des Bikini-Atolls ihrem Ende durch eine Atombombenexplosion entgegensehen.

Namdrik Atoll Coconut Diaries VideoBlog 25 Fishing Methods
In todays video blog I show some of the different methods of fishing employed by the Marshallese fisherman on Namdrik Atoll. First we take a look at using a simple pole and line on the shallow reef flats targeting the smaller grouper and other fish found in between small coral heads. Its a beautiful view and relaxing day for me but I know for the local fisherman, everyday they need to provide for their family. Next we take a look at a more exotic form of fishing that I have only seen on Namdrik Atoll, machete fishing. It starts out with an interesting bike ride over uneven terrain while wielding a large blade in hand. Then slowly walking out onto the shallow uneven reef flat using only the beam of a small flashlight to guide our way scouring the reef for small fish along the reefs edg... -
Marshall Islands Travel Video
Marshall Islands Travel Video - The air is tangy with sea salt on the thousand or so slender, flat coral islands that make up the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI). Living on these narrow strips of land between ocean and lagoon, the Marshallese are expert fishers and navigators, having long been reliant on the sea. Local faces reflect the islands history. In the late 1700s, after 2000 years of isolation, these Micronesian islands were variously visited, settled, colonised or occupied by British, Russians, Germans, Japanese and Americans (at first by missionaries, later by defence forces). Today the more developed atolls have a sense of all these influences, with well-stocked stores carrying international groceries, restaurants serving the food of several nations, and basketball court... -

Globe Trekker - Isolated Islands: The Marshall Islands & Dutch Antilles with Zay Harding
Zay Harding travels to two beautiful archipelagos of isolated islands, one in the Pacific and the other in the Atlantic. First he explores the very rarely visited Marshall Islands, some of the world's remotest islands of all, way out in the middle of the vast Pacific ocean. Subsequently, he heads on to the Atlantic coast of South America, to check out the fascinating former Dutch colonies of Curacao and Bonaire. Bizarrely, when he first flies in to the Marshall Islands, Zay has to pass through a US military airport on Kwajalein atoll, which is part of a high security ballistic missile test site. Swiftly ushered off the military base, Zay catches a boat to the adjacent island of Ebeye, to dive the wreck of a WWII battleship that sank here as a result of damaged sustained during the USA's... -

In todays video blog I show some of the different methods of fishing employed by the Marshallese fisherman on Namdrik Atoll. First we take a look at using a simple pole and line on the shallow reef flats targeting the smaller grouper and other fish found in between small coral heads. Its a beautiful view and relaxing day for me but I know for the local fisherman, everyday they need to provide for their family. Next we take a look at a more exotic form of fishing that I have only seen on Namdrik Atoll, machete fishing. It starts out with an interesting bike ride over uneven terrain while wielding a large blade in hand. Then slowly walking out onto the shallow uneven reef flat using only the beam of a small flashlight to guide our way scouring the reef for small fish along the reefs edge. Bashing the fish over the heads to stun them enough to toss into our plastic bags. The last form of fishing, my favorite, is spear fishing during the day. Swimming among the beautiful colored water, coral, and fish is a highlight on its own. Throwing in a spear into the mix adds another level of excitement and difficulty. My local friend and guide Paul show me his expertise as a fisherman along some of spots of the inner lagoon and shows me how to use a tow line made from the fronds of a coconut plant. Its interesting to see the fish transferred from the spear to the line and how much blood is let off into the water. No surprise when a few minutes later a few small reef shark made an appearance to check out what was happening. These are just some of my experiences on Namdrik Atoll of the Marshall Islands, a place I am lucky enough to call home.

Marshall Islands Travel Video - The air is tangy with sea salt on the thousand or so slender, flat coral islands that make up the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI). Living on these narrow strips of land between ocean and lagoon, the Marshallese are expert fishers and navigators, having long been reliant on the sea.
Local faces reflect the islands history. In the late 1700s, after 2000 years of isolation, these Micronesian islands were variously visited, settled, colonised or occupied by British, Russians, Germans, Japanese and Americans (at first by missionaries, later by defence forces). Today the more developed atolls have a sense of all these influences, with well-stocked stores carrying international groceries, restaurants serving the food of several nations, and basketball courts on many street corners. On the quieter backstreets the Marshallese continue to live in family compounds, surrounded by flowers. The two main atolls have quite different characters. While its Westernised, the capital, Majuro Atoll, retains much of the languid feel of the tropics. In contrast, Kwajalein Atoll is leased to the US military for missile testing and is virtually closed to nonmilitary visitors, its local workers shuttled to the wall-to-wall tenements of Ebeye.
The RMIs charm lies in its outer islands which - except for the traumatic nuclear history of some - still retain the pristine feel of the tropical Pacific. If you have only a few days to spend here, dont run your schedule too tightly alongside that of Air Marshall Islands (AMI) - it generally serves outer atolls just once weekly, and delays of up to many days are common. You can still get a feel for the classic Robinson Crusoe lifestyle by visiting one of the small islands in Majuro Atoll, though divers often bypass Majuro and head straight to Bikini for WWII wreck-diving or Rongelap for nature-diving.

Zay Harding travels to two beautiful archipelagos of isolated islands, one in the Pacific and the other in the Atlantic. First he explores the very rarely visited Marshall Islands, some of the world's remotest islands of all, way out in the middle of the vast Pacific ocean. Subsequently, he heads on to the Atlantic coast of South America, to check out the fascinating former Dutch colonies of Curacao and Bonaire.
Bizarrely, when he first flies in to the Marshall Islands, Zay has to pass through a US military airport on Kwajalein atoll, which is part of a high security ballistic missile test site. Swiftly ushered off the military base, Zay catches a boat to the adjacent island of Ebeye, to dive the wreck of a WWII battleship that sank here as a result of damaged sustained during the USA's controversial post-war atomic bomb tests on nearby Bikini atoll. Attracted by the chance of working at the US military base on Kwajalein, thousands of Marshall Islanders have moved to the tiny island of Ebeye; now hugely overcrowded, it's been given the unflattering nickname 'the slum of the Pacific'. Zay watches the local baseball team playing in the only open space on Ebeye big enough for the game -- the rubbish dump.
Flying on to Majuro, the capital of the Marshall Islands, Zay visits a project set up to preserve and promote traditional Marshallese canoe-building and navigational skills. Zay learns how local sailors have the ability to navigate towards far-flung islands by reading signs from the ocean swells. Marshallese sailing canoes are the fastest in the Pacific, and Zay joins in a dramatic impromptu race, battered by fierce Pacific winds.
At Majuro dock, Zay meets up with WWII enthusiast Matt Holly, boarding a dive boat to cross 80 miles of open ocean to the small and extremely remote Mili atoll. Guns, planes, and other wreckage from the WWII Japanese base on Mili, bombed by the Americans, can still be seen strewn around the island. Zay finishes his tour diving a remarkably intact US B25 bomber that crashed in the lagoon during one of the many bombing raids.
Moving on to the Atlantic coast of South America, Zay starts his journey through the Dutch Antilles in Curacao's capital Willemstad. Here he visits the beautiful synagogue, built in the 1730s, which is the oldest in continuous use in the Western Hemisphere. Elsewhere, much of the town's old colonial Dutch architecture is being restored, and Zay checks out one of the most attractive restoration projects. On the site of the town's former slave market, Zay visits a disturbing museum that documents the brutal history of the transatlantic slave trade.
After sampling the island's famous 'Blue Curacao' orange-flavoured liqueur, Zay heads on to the nearby island of Bonaire. Here there are huge natural salt deposits, which were worked by slaves until the 19th century, and are still a major commercial business today. Zay checks out some very simple 'slave huts' here, which are said to have been used by the slaves to shelter from the worst of the midday sun, as the sunlight was so bright against the white salt deposits that it otherwise caused many of the slaves to go blind.
Elsewhere on the island, the marine environment is well preserved, and the offshore coral reef has some of the Caribbean's best diving. Above water, Zay kayaks in the island's dense mangrove swamps, which provide a pristine habitat for much of the island's wildlife. The island's parrot population has plummeted in recent decades, as wild parrots have been illegally captured for the pet trade. Zay ends his trip visiting two wildlife refuges - one housing former pet parrots in preparation for release back into the wild, and another caring for hundreds of donkeys, the offspring of donkeys who once worked in the island's salt mines and were then abandoned. The future of Bonaire's wildlife, it seems, is in good hands.

http://www.a3network.com Floatopia | Sexy Girls In The Sea | Miami Beach | Floatopia is a social event that has taken place in Miami Beach, Fla. The title "Floatopia" describes the main activity the event is known for floating on rafts and other home-made or store bought floating devices along the coast and partying on the beach.
We're bringing Floatopia to Miami! Join us and let's end the summer right! Note: bring drinks in discreet container such as plastic bottles, NO glass bottles will be allowed on the beach!
The bikini is typically a women's two-piece swimsuit. One part of the attire covers the breasts and the other part covers the crotch and part of or the entire buttocks, leaving an uncovered area between the two. Merriam--Webster describes the bikini as "a woman's scanty two-piece bathing suit" or "a man's brief swimsuit". It is often worn in hot weather, while swimming or sunbathing. The shapes of both parts of a bikini resemble women's underwear, and the lower part can range from revealing thong or g-string to briefs.
While two-piece bathing suits had been worn on the beach before, the modern bikini was invented by French engineer Louis Réard in 1946. He named it after Bikini Atoll in the Pacific, the site of the Operation Crossroads nuclear weapon tests in July that year.
The bikini is perhaps the most popular female beachwear around the globe, according to French fashion historian Olivier Saillard due to "the power of women, and not the power of fashion". As he explains, "The emancipation of swimwear has always been linked to the emancipation of women. By the mid 2000s, bikinis had become a $811 million business annually, according to the NPD Group, a consumer and retail information company. The bikini has boosted spin-off services like bikini waxing and the sun tanning industries
Predecessors of the bikini date to antiquity, in Çatalhöyük and the Greco-Roman world. Art dating from the Diocletian period (286--305 AD) in Villa Romana del Casale, Sicily depicts women in garments resembling bikinis in mosaics on the floor. The images of ten women, dubbed the "Bikini Girls", exercising in clothing that would pass as bikinis today are the most replicated mosaic among the 37 million colored tiles at the site. Archeological finds, particularly in Pompeii, show the Roman goddess Venus wearing a bikini. A statue of Venus in a bikini was found in a cupboard in the southwest corner in Casa della Venere, others were found in the front hall. A statue of Venus was recovered from the tablinum of the House of Julia Felix, and another from an atrium at the garden at Via Dell'Abbondanza.
The groundwork for the modern bikini began to be laid in 1907, when Australian swimmer and performer Annette Kellerman was arrested on a Boston beach for wearing a form-fitting one-piece swimsuit, which became an accepted beach attire for women by 1910. In 1913, inspired by the introduction of women into Olympic swimming, designer Carl Jantzen made the first functional two-piece swimwear, a close-fitting one-piece with shorts on the bottom and short sleeves on top.
By the 1930s, necklines plunged at the back, sleeves disappeared and sides were cut away. Hollywood endorsed the new glamour with films such as Neptune's Daughter in which Esther Williams wore provocatively named costumes such as "Double Entendre" and "Honey Child".
With new materials like latex and nylon, by 1934 the swimsuit started hugging the body and had shoulder straps to lower for tanning.
By the early 1940s two-piece swimsuits were frequent on American beaches. Hollywood stars such as Ava Gardner, Rita Hayworth and Lana Turner tried similar swimwear or beachwear. Pin ups of Hayworth and Esther Williams in the costume were widely distributed.
Finally, the modern bikini was introduced by French engineer Louis Réard and fashion designer Jacques Heim in Paris in 1946. Réard was a car engineer but by 1946 he was running his mother's lingerie boutique near Les Folies Bergères in Paris. Heim was working on a new kind of beach costume. It comprised two pieces, the bottom large enough to cover its wearer's navel. In May 1946, he advertised the bathing suit, known as the "Atome," as the world's "smallest bathing suit". Réard named his swimsuit the "bikini", taking the name from the Bikini Atoll, one of a series of islands in the South Pacific where testing on the new atomic bomb was occurring that summer. Historians assume Reard termed his swimsuit the "bikini" because he believed its revealing style would create reactions among people similar to those created by America's atomic bomb in Japan just one summer earlier.

Moratoria
Moratoria
What was unknown became known to me
Kind of cold heat, swept over me
A valediction from a terminal heart
Your misfortune was my work of art
There's a cavalcade on desolation highway
In my veins
Like a cold parade on desolation highway
Coursing through my veins
A force unstoppable, now the stone has cracked
Another false dawn, well, sunset came too fast
Just in time for those wild staring eyes
You know I never blinked and now they're frozen dry
There's a cavalcade on desolation highway
In my veins
Like a cold parade on desolation highway
Coursing through my veins
When I saw you, what did you see?
A heart of stone, stone is bleeding
When you saw me, what did you see?
There's a cavalcade on desolation highway
In my veins
Like a cold parade on desolation highway
Coursing through my veins
On desolation highway
In my veins
Desolation, desolation
