    URANIUM FISSION
    January 22, 1939 - Columbia University in New York City, U.S.A.

    The uranium atom was split for the first time using the cyclotron at Columbia University in New York City. Thus began the Manhattan Project, leading to the construction of the atom bomb. The project was subsequently moved inland to the University of Chicago to protect the research from any possible German bombing of New York. (Also the weight of the apparatus was so great that the floor was in danger of collapsing!) The cyclotron that performed the first-ever fission experiment was designed and built (1935-36) by John R. Dunning, who became Dean of the Engineering School, 1950-69). In 1965, the cyclotron was taken to the Smithsonian Institute. The original invention of the first cyclotron was by physicist Ernest Lawrence.

    SPACE DEBRIS HITS PERSON ON EARTH
    January 22, 1997 - Tulsa, Oklahoma, U.S.A.

    American Lottie Williams was reportedly the first human to be struck by a remnant of a space vehicle after re-entering the earth's atmosphere. At 3 a.m., while walking in a park in Tulsa, Oklahoma, she saw a light pass over her head. “It looked like a meteor,” she said. Minutes later, she was hit on the shoulder by a six-inch piece of blackened metallic material. The debris that struck Ms. Williams has not been examined to confirm its origin, but a used Delta II rocket, launched nine months earlier, had crashed into the Earth's atmosphere half an hour earlier. NASA scientists believe that Williams was hit by a part of it, making her the only person in the world known to have been hit by man-made space debris.

ARTICLE INFORMATION :

Natural, safe ways to preserve dental health and oral hygiene.

ARTICLE CONTENT :

HOLISTIC DENTISTRY People often talk about preventative medicine and mention, quite rightly, the need for correct diet, exercise and certain nutritional supplements. But many pathogens and subsequent conditions can originate in the area of the mouth. Whilst the enzymes contained in the mouth's saliva are powerful enough to fight off many toxins, they cannot eradicate all unwelcome visitors. In addition, many people have amalgam fillings which contain mercury. If this mercury leaks into the body's system there can be a host of unpleasant consequences, the most common among them being Candida.

As mercury is essentially a poison, any presence of it in the blood can also increase the workload of the liver, which again may have a number of ramifications. Dentists who embrace a natural approach to oral hygiene and dental health are, in general, in the minority. The field of complementary medicine can provide a huge number of options for the dentist seeking to augment his approach and achieve a higher degree of efficiency. From homeopathy to natural detoxification products, most holistic dentists have found that introducing natural medicinal regimes into their practices has paid dividends.

One particular practice,in Bedfordshire, England, has been utilizing this approach now for almost twenty years. The Luton Holistic Dental Practice use everything from homeopathy to herbal formulas to augment their natural, mercury-free approach to dentistry. Their main dentist, Thomas Nyerges, says, 'We have noticed that recovery time and general response to treatment is remarkably improved when we include natural medicinal supplements as a part of overall treatment.'There are, additionally, numerous testimonials extolling the benefits experienced after mercury removal. Little by little other mainstream dentists are now also beginning to incorporate a more natural approach to treatment, good news for everyone who dreads those visits to the big leather chair!
