Keys to a Successful Relationship
All couples have disagreements every now and then. The question is why certain couples break up, while others manage to get over their conflicts. The key is in the way people handle their disagreements. Psychologists have come to the conclusion that couples who become very hostile very quickly during disagreements are far more likely to break up soon, while couples who try to negotiate, manage to find solutions to their conflicts and reconcile. It seems that the ability to remain calm during an argument is the key to having a successful relationship. Emotional self-control is a very useful tool in controlling the emotions of your partner.

Effects of Radiation Poisoning during a Nuclear War
The damage to the body, caused by a large dose of ionizing radiation is called radiation sickness or radiation poisoning. The amount of radiation the body has absorbed will determine how sick the person will be. Radiation poisoning is a very serious condition and is fatal in most cases because at the moment there is no treatment to repair cells that have been damaged. Nevertheless, there are some drugs that can remove radioactive particles from the body. Radiation poisoning occurred in Hiroshima and Nagasaki due to the atomic bomb, and later, it happened in nuclear industrial accidents, such as the one in Chernobyl.

What to Do in Case of a Radiation Emergency
There are a few ways to protect yourself from radiation, first by hiding in a safe place and then by decontaminating your clothes and body. A radiation emergency can happen due to a nuclear war, but also due to an accident involving radioactive material. During a nuclear war, nuclear weapons and Radiological Dispersal Devices are used. The nuclear weapon creates an explosion, by means of a nuclear reaction and it produces 4 types of energy: a blast wave, intense light, heat, and radiation. Nuclear weapons are in the form of missiles or bombs. Some of them produce a fallout, that is radioactive particles that can be carried by the wind and be deposited on the buildings, ground, people, animals, and plants, and require decontamination. Radiological Dispersal Devices also called dirty bombs, are a combination of radioactive materials and explosives.
