    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.

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.
