    ANIMAL-TO-HUMAN HEART TRANSPLANT
    January 23, 1964 - University of Mississippi, U.S.A.

    The first animal to human heart transplant was made. Dr. James Hardy at the University of Mississippi transplanted the heart of a chimpanzee (named Bino) into the chest of Boyd Rush (age 68) in a last-ditch effort to save the man's life because no human was heart available. The newly-transplanted heart beat on its own; but it was too small to maintain independent circulation and Rush died after 90 minutes. Hardy had to endure some severe criticism. (This was three years before Christiaan Barnard performed the first successful human heart transplant). Hardy also made the first human lung transplant in 1963 and a double-lung transplant that left the heart in place in 1987.

    FIRST EXTINCT-ANIMAL CLONE
    January 23, 2009 - Aragon, Spain

    The birth and 7-minute life of the first extinct-animal clone was described in the journal Theriogenology. A clone of the Pyranean ibex, or bucardo, was created using DNA from frozen skin samples taken in 1999 from the last individual before it died (6 Jan 2000). The mother was a closely-related subspecies of the Spanish ibex. The surrogate goat was implanted with an egg into which the bucardo's DNA had been inserted to replace the original genetic material. The research effort was the work of a team of scientists at the Center for Agro-Nutrition Research and Technology in Aragon, Spain. The team had implanted 208 embryos in different goats, of which seven became pregnant. Of those, just one resulted in a live birth, a clone that died within 7 minutes of respiratory failure due to lung defects. The bucardo thus went extinct a second time.

    about Stolen On New Year's

    More vehicles are stolen on New Year's Day than any other holiday throughout the year. (So does that mean thieves are having their last fling before changing their ways or are they trying for a big score to start the New Year?)

Save Your Relationship: Steps You Should Adopt To Have A Successful Relationship.

A relationship is similar to a mirror, a simple crack will just break it off. It needs to be handled with care. A perfect relationship is not easily achievable; you should be very dedicated and committed to it. Simple misunderstandings which remain unsolved may mess it up. But it is always possible to save your relationship, even if it is falling apart. Obviously, if you do nothing about it, then there is no magic formula to have a successful relationship.

If you want to save your relationship, start by thinking about all the good moments that you have spent together. This is the best way to motivate yourself to save the relationship. Start by picking up the problems, because it is hard to fix a relationship without knowing what?s wrong. Hence it is better to note down all the reasons why you think you are facing so much troubles. Together with your partner, you should talk about these issues and look for solutions. Never leave a problem unsolved, it'll worsen with time, better solve it at once.

p>Another important thing, while saving your relationship is to listen to your lover. Be a good listener if you want a successful relationship. Your views, opinions and thoughts should be shared in order to avoid conflicts and arguments as well. After solving all the problems between both of you, it is vital to apologize for hurting the feelings of your partner and also promise that these troubles won?t happen again. And finally offer yourself a nice holiday somewhere, where you?ll be alone and away from the world to discover each other once again.

Misunderstandings and conflicts cannot ruin your relationship. What?s important is to identify the problems at the right time and look for solutions. To keep your relationship working, you need to have healthy and truthful communication to maintain trust.
