Earthquake And Tsunami, Japan — The Power Of Resilience

Earthquake And Tsunami, Japan — The Power Of Resilience

In 2011, Japan was hit with a 9.0 magnitude earthquake, the largest ever recorded in the country. This event caused widespread damage, leading to over 15,000 deaths and countless injuries.


It was followed by a massive tsunami that destroyed entire cities, causing nuclear plant failures and leaving the country devastated.

The disaster had far-reaching consequences for Japan, impacting its economy, social structure, and cultural traditions. The government had to deal with enormous reconstruction costs and loss of human life.

Thousands of people were displaced, leading to homelessness and mental trauma. It also affected the global economy, causing a ripple effect in the international market.

The 2011 Japan Earthquake and Tsunami was a devastating event that no one would ever want to experience. It is a reminder of the importance of disaster preparedness and the need for a global response to natural disasters.

Even though it was a tragedy, it brought the world together in solidarity to help Japan recover. We must learn from these past events and work towards creating a safer future for all.

DEATH MARCHES

Image
DEATH MARCHES In January 1945, the Third Reich stood on the verge of military defeat. As Allied forces approached Nazi camps, the SS organized death marches of concentration camp inmates, in part to keep large numbers of concentration camp prisoners from falling into Allied hands.  Near the end of the war, when Germany's military force was collapsing, the Allied armies closed in on the Nazi concentration camps. The Soviets approached from the east, and the British, French, and Americans from the west. The Germans began frantically to move the prisoners out of the camps near the front and take them to be used as forced laborers in camps inside Germany. Prisoners were first taken by train and then by foot on "death marches," as they became known. Prisoners were forced to march long distances in bitter cold, with little or no food, water, or rest. Those who could not keep up were shot. The largest death marches took place in the winter of 1944-1945, when the Soviet army b...

The 10 Grusome Steps of the William Wallace Death

Image
The 10 Grusome Steps of the William Wallace Death When you think of the William Wallace death, the first thing that may come to your mind is the movie Braveheart, followed shortly by an image of Mel Gibson covered in blue paint and crying “Freeeeeeeeeeeeeedom!” Braveheart is an amazing film and is one of the best medieval movies of all time, however, it unfortunately not an accurate depiction of the life or death of William Wallace. One of the unfortunate inaccuracies was that Wallace’s death was in fact a lot more gruesome than was depicted on screen. Wallace may have lived by the sword, but his death was not by the sword. When was William Wallace’s Death On 23 August 1305, William Wallace’s death took place. Found guilty of treason, Wallace was taken to the Tower of London, where his clothes were removed and he was tied to a hurdle and dragged through the streets by horses. At the end of this, he was hung, drawn, and quartered. If this was not bad enough, Wallace’s bowels ...

A 26-year-old Australian woman, Annie Knight, has reportedly lost her corporate job after her work discovered her secret Only Fans account. According to DailyMail, she shared her experience on SBS’ Insight on Tuesday, saying she was shocked she was dismissed from a corporate role. Knight, who claims to be in the top 0.4 per cent of creators on OnlyFans, said she did have apprehensions when she first ventured into the platform but didn’t think she would lose her job. “Yes, that was definitely my number one concern when I first started my account. And the last thing I wanted to do was to get fired if someone found my OnlyFans,” she shared. Unfortunately for Knight, these fears materialised a few years down the line. “I had just started a new job. I was on day five, and I actually went home sick that day, and I received an email saying termination of contract,” she explained. The email contained screenshots from her OnlyFans account, along with three reasons for her dismissal. The reasons...

The Rape of Tamar

Image
The Rape of Tamar The story of the rape of Tamar, daughter of King David, by Amnon, her half-brother (2 Samuel 13) is  told in the wake of the king's sins of adultery and murder . When Tamar attends Amnon, who feigns illness, he seizes her and rapes her, and then banishes her from the room. Classical formal features—solid forms, careful balance, and harmonious colors—temper the violence of this scene, which probably represents the biblical Old Testament character Tamar about to be raped by her half-brother Amnon. A freeze‑frame effect is achieved through staid yet dramatic gestures that Le Sueur derived from classical sculpture. They align perfectly with how fellow painter Charles Le Brun would soon theorize the best methods of representing historical narrative. Shortly after this work was painted, in 1648, both artists became founding members of the French Royal Academy, which sought to elevate the perception of painters’ intellectual abilities and social position.

Hasanlu lovers

Image
Hasanlu lovers The  Hasanlu Lovers  are a pair of human remains found at the Teppe Hasanlu archaeological site, located in the Naqadeh in the West Azerbaijan Province of Iran. Around 800 BCE, the city of Hasanlu, located in north-western Iran, was destroyed by an unknown invader. Inhabitants were slain and left where they fell. In 1973, the lovers were discovered by a team of archaeologists from the University of Pennsylvania led by Robert H. Dyson. The two  human skeletons  were found together in a bin during  excavations , seemingly embracing at the time of death, with no other objects except a  stone slab  under the head of one skeleton. They died together around 800 BCE, during the last destruction of the Hasanlu. Approximately 246 skeletons were found at the site altogether. How the lovers died and ended up in the bin is still under speculation but both skeletons lack evidence...

The teenage girls who flirted with Nazis before luring them into woods and shooting them

Image
The teenage girls who flirted with Nazis before luring them into woods and shooting them Red lipstick and shiny eye shadow were unlikely but important weapons deployed by members of the Dutch resistance when taking on Nazi soldiers. Freddie and Truus Oversteegen, two sisters, and their best friend Hannie Schaft would put on their best clothes and fastidiously apply their make-up before going into bars to seek out unsuspecting targets. The young girls, who were active in the Dutch resistance during the Second World War, would then strike up conversations with Nazi soldiers or Dutch collaborators. They would giggle and bat their eyelashes as they cajoled them into disclosing classified information. Then they would lure them into the woods on the pretext of a “romantic walk” – and shoot them dead. Freddie and Truus survived the war but Hannie, who is far more famous than the Oversteegen sisters, was caught and executed by the Nazis just three weeks before the war came t...

The Japanese WWII Soldier Who Refused to Surrender for 27 Years

The Japanese WWII Soldier Who Refused to Surrender for 27 Years Unable to bear the shame of being captured as a prisoner of war, Shoichi Yokoi hid in the jungles of Guam until January 1972 When Japanese sergeant Shoichi Yokoi returned to his home country after almost three decades in hiding, his initial reaction was one of contrition: “It is with much embarrassment that I return.” Then 56, Yokoi had spent the past 27 years eking out a meager existence in the jungles of Guam, where he’d fled to evade capture following American forces’ seizure of the island in August 1944. According to historian Robert Rogers, Yokoi was one of around 5,000 Japanese soldiers who refused to surrender to the Allies after the Battle of Guam, preferring life on the lam to the shame of being detained as a prisoner of war. Though the Allies captured or killed the majority of these holdouts within a few months, some 130 remai...

Meet the woman who slept with 10,000 men This was one of NZH Lifestyle's top stories for 2017. Warning: Explicit and distressing content Gwyneth Montenegro says she has slept with more than 10,000 men. She first stepped into a brothel at age 21, lured by the prospect of earning up to $1000 for an hour's work. While she doesn't regret her 12 years as a sex worker, Montenegro, 39, says she is glad to be out. Now, she is trained in neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), an approach to personal development and psychotherapy made popular by American motivational speaker Tony Robbins. She teaches women how to "understand" men and get the most out of their relationships. Here she answers questions about the reality of sex work and what men really want. How did you first get in to sex work? "I never wanted to get into the sex industry in the first place. I was 18, I went out to a nightclub and my drink was spiked and I got taken away and gang-raped by 6-8 men - ...
