    RAZING OF JERUSALEM
    January 15, 1970 - Israel

    The first evidence was uncovered of the razing by fire, of Jerusalem by Roman troops led by General Titus in 70 A.D. upon orders from Caesar. Israeli archaeologist Prof. Nahumn Avigad excavated ruins in the Jewish Quarter of Old Jerusalem, a few hundred yards from the Wailing Wall. Three meters (10 feet) under the earth, he found two rooms with evidence of intense heat and ashes. One was apparently a pharmacy, with beautifully carved stone jars, stone weights, and measuring cups. The second was perhaps a woodworking shop. The coins were found which helped precisely date the event. Despite the destruction, the site was valuable because the objects were found buried there as they had been used.

    SOLAR HEATED HOUSE
    January 15, 1955 - Tucson, Arizona, U.S.A.

    The first U.S. house to be both solar-heated and radiation-cooled started its system. It was built in Tucson, Arizona by solar physicist Raymond W. Bliss, Jr. (6 Oct 1915 - 7 Nov 2004). The system was built at a cost of nearly $4,000 for labor and materials. It was made using a large slanted slab of steel and glass that converted sunlight into heat, which was directed into the house. Summer cooling used the same ducts and associated fans and controls. The first U.S. house to be completely solar heated was occupied in Dover, Mass. On 24 Dec 1948. That heating system was designed by Dr. Maria Telkes from the MIT Solar Laboratory, used black sheet metal collectors to capture solar energy, stored by the phase-change of sodium sulfate decahydrate in “heat bins.”

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.
