    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.

    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.

  • A Change is Gonna Come
    by Meredith Grey

    "...Change; we don't like it, we fear it, but we can't stop it from coming. We either adapt to change, or we get left behind. It hurts to grow, anybody who tells you it doesn't is lying. But here's the truth: Sometimes the more things change, the more they stay the same. And sometimes, oh, sometimes change is good. Sometimes change is everything...."

ARTICLE CONTENT :

Wedding is such an occasion in a man's life where nobody would ever tolerate anything to go wrong and therefore wants to take care of every possible detail for the wedding. To have a better wedding ceremony everything should work as per planned and one should take care of the every possible details. A perfectly planned wedding and the proper execution of the plans is considered to be the perfect wedding ceremony. The wedding table plays an important part and the center table is the center of all the gathering of the guests and therefore it is important that one should pay proper attention to the center table decoration very well.

However, for to decorate your wedding table the choice of the table cloth is very much important too. The snowy white color of the cloth is a traditional bridal choice, but colors chosen to coordinate with the room decoration or the wedding party decoration are also quite popular ideas for the decoration of your wedding table. Of course it is a fact that some of us think that the color of the table cloth and the napkins should match with each other in order to have a better look. But the real fact is that you can always use your own innovative ideas for the purpose. There is no hard and fast rule that the color of the napkins should match the color of the table cloth. You can easily use dark colored napkins with light colored table cloth to give an elegant look to the wedding table.

You should always think beyond the center of the table to create a unique impression with your wedding table decorations. There is also a very important role play of flowers in your whole wedding decoration. And therefore the choice of flowers and the style of decoration with them needs some innovative thinking for the better decoration of the wedding. And the use of flowers for your wedding table should be such that the table gets a totally different look with them. However, it is not always a good idea to have your wedding table loaded with flowers. Choose the style of decoration carefully and remember that sometimes a simple but well thought decoration can make the whole thing appear brilliant. This is what you should try to maintain in your whole wedding decoration for the better look.

However, though the center wedding table gets a lot of attention in your wedding, but that does not means that you can neglect the other aspects of the wedding. To get this right one must take care of every single details carefully so that there may not remain any gap to be the target of criticism. And it is very well known to all of us that how much you can get criticized if there remains any gap in the perfect planning of your wedding.

To think of the other aspects of the wedding, another thing comes in mind is the need of the disposable cameras in your wedding. It is very good idea if you get some disposable cameras ready for the occasion so for the use of the guests. You can easily have them carefully placed on your center wedding table with a card beside it allowing the guests to use them at their will. And by this you shall not miss any single moment of your wedding party.
