6) Betrand Piccard preparing for another PioneerDoc world record:

His new project:
To surround the Earth with a solar airplane!


AN AIRPLANE AND A SYMBOL
In our various meetings, exchanges and contacts, many of you have asked to be kept informed about the progress of the Solar Impulse project. We are pleased to be able to do this from now on, by means of this logbook, which we are opening today, as the first step in directly addressing the values that bring us together.

Solar Impulse is both a solar airplane, with the ambition of flying night and day without fuel, and a symbol of what our society must become capable of achieving in terms of energy efficiency and the use of renewable energies. In the following lines, and subsequent issues which will be published several times per year, you will read about these two aspects. You will be able to follow the project's progress, the work of the engineers, the technological challenges we encounter, to get to know the people who are making this adventure possible, and to share in our thoughts about our society's energy and environmental future.

If the pioneering spirit has enabled spectacular conquests in the past, it needs, in the 21st century to enable us to develop the quality of life to which present and future generations are entitled. Technology and humanism must stand shoulder to shoulder to lighten mankind's environmental footprint, to stimulate industry and the economy in the search for new solutions, and seriously question the certainties and habits that keep us prisoners of our expensive and dangerous dependence on fossil fuels.

With our round-the-world flight in a solar airplane, we want to share this state of mind and carry along in our wake all those who, like us, believe in the power of symbols and visions.
Welcome aboard!

Bertrand Piccard
President of Solar Impulse

11) Nikolaus Kopernikus is AstronomyDoc

Image:Mikolaj Kopernik.jpg

.....In 1501 Copernicus returned to Frombork. As soon as he arrived, he obtained permission to complete his studies in Padua, where he studied medicine (with Guarico and Fracastoro), and at Ferrara, where in 1503 he received his doctorate in canon law. One of the topics Copernicus must have studied at that time was astrology, since it was then considered to be an important part of a medical education.[5] However, unlike most other prominent renaissance astronomers, he appears to have never practiced it, or expressed any subsequent interest in it.[6] It has also been surmised that it was in Padua that he encountered passages from Cicero and Plato about opinions of the ancients on the movement of the Earth, and formed the first intuition of his own future theory. In 1504 Copernicus began collecting observations and ideas pertinent to his theory. .......

12) Fereydoon Batmanghelidj is "WaterDoc" and WriterDoc

His famous story when he was in prison he discovered treatment of illnesses with pure water, see
http://www.watercure.com/about_drb.html

internationally renowned researcher, author and advocate of the natural healing power of water, was born in Iran in 1931. He attended Fettes College in Scotland and was a graduate of St. Mary’s Hospital Medical School of London University, where he studied under Sir Alexander Fleming, who shared the Nobel Prize for the discovery of penicillin.

Dr. Batmanghelidj practiced medicine in the United Kingdom before returning to Iran where he played a key role in the development of hospitals and medical centers. He also helped establish sport projects for youth in Iran, including The Ice Palace in Tehran, the first ice skating and sports complex in the Middle East.

When the Iranian Revolution broke out in 1979, Dr. Batmanghelidj was placed in the infamous Evin Prison as a political prisoner for two years and seven months. It was there he discovered the healing powers of water. One night, Dr. B. had to treat a fellow prisoner with crippling peptic ulcer pain. With no medications at his disposal, Dr. B. gave him two glasses of water. Within eight minutes, his pain disappeared. He was instructed to drink two glasses of water every three hours and became absolutely pain free for his four remaining months in the prison. Dr. B. successfully treated 3,000 fellow prisoners suffering from stress-induced peptic ulcer disease with water alone. While in prison he conducted extensive research into the medicinal effects of water in preventing and relieving many painful degenerative diseases. Evin proved an ideal “stress laboratory,” and despite his being offered an earlier release, Dr. B. chose to stay an extra four months in prison to complete his research into the relationship of dehydration and bleeding peptic ulcer disease. The report of his findings was published as the editorial of the Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology in June 1983. The New York Times Science Watch reported this discovery on June 21, 1983.

On his release from prison in 1982, Dr. Batmanghelidj escaped from Iran and came to America. At the Foundation for the Simple in Medicine he began to research the effect of chronic unintentional dehydration on the human body. His findings were published in the Foundation’s “Journal of Science in Medicine Simplified” in 1991 and 1992. They can be read on the web site www.watercure.com.

Dr. F. Batmaghelidj wrote his first self-help book “Your Body’s Many Cries for Water” in 1992, in which he stated that a dry mouth is not a reliable indicator of dehydration. The body signals its water shortage by producing pain. Dehydration actually produces pain and many degenerative diseases, including asthma, arthritis, hypertension, angina, adult-onset diabetes, lupus and multiple sclerosis. Dr. B’s message to the world is, “You are not sick, you are thirsty. Don’t treat thirst with medication.”

Dr. F. Batmanghelidj devoted the last 20 years of his life promoting public awareness of the healing powers of water. He appeared on hundreds of radio and television programs and lectured around the world. He has left a body of valuable works of six books and more than a dozen educational audio and video seminars. His work has created an international community that has embraced the natural healing of the water cure. His ground-breaking book “Your Body’s Many Cries for Water” has been translated into 15 languages and continues to inspire readers all over the world.

Dr. F. Batmanghelidj died of complications from pneumonia on November 15, 2004, in Virginia, U.S.A. He was 73.

14) Michail Afanasjewitsch Bulgakow is SatiricDoc as "specialisation of WriterDocs" and JournalistDoc

Bulgakow

Mikhail Afanasievich Bulgakov (Russian: Михаил Афанасьевич Булгаков, May 15 [O.S. May 3] 1891, Kiev – March 10, 1940, Moscow) was a Russian novelist and playwright active in the first half of the 20th century. He is best known for the novel The Master and Margarita, which the New York Times Book Review has called one of the greatest novels of the twentieth century.[1]

In 1913 Bulgakov married Tatiana Lappa. At the outbreak of the First World War he volunteered with the Red Cross. In 1916, he graduated from the Medical School of Kiev University and then served in the White Army. He briefly served in the Ukrainian People's Army. His brothers also served in the White Army. After the Civil War and rise of the Soviets, they emigrated to exile in Paris. Mikhail, who had enlisted in the White Army as a field doctor, ended up in the Caucasus. There he began to work as a journalist.

In 1919 he decided to leave medicine to pursue his love of literature. In 1921, he moved with Tatiana to Moscow where he began his career as a writer. Three years later, divorced from his first wife, he married Lyubov' Belozerskaya. He published a number of works through the early and mid 1920s, but by 1927 his career began to suffer from criticism that he was too anti-Soviet. By 1929 his career was ruined, and government censorship prevented publication of any of his work.
