Scientists have uncovered the largest Neolithic settlement in the United Kingdom at the Durrington Walls and believe that the village was inhabited by the people who built the Stonehenge monument.

Scientists say that the village was built around 2,600 B.C., roughly when Stonehenge was believed to have been constructed, and housed over 100 people.

Inside the areas which would have been the interior of houses at the time, scientists also found outlines of what they think were beds and cupboards or dressers. Pieces of pottery and “filthy” rubbish around the site. Animal bones, arrowheads, stone tools and other relics were also discovered.

“We’ve never seen such quantities of pottery and animal bone and flint. In what were houses, we have excavated the outlines on the floors of box beds and wooden dressers or cupboards,” said Sheffield University archaeologist Mike Parker Pearson.

So far, the dig has revealed at least 8 houses roughly 14-16 feet square, but scientists say that they think there may have been at least 25 altogether.

The site was likely to have been occupied only seasonally rather than year-round and evidence suggests that a lot of “partying” went on at the location.

“The animal bones are being thrown away half-eaten. It’s what we call a feasting assemblage. This is where they went to party – you could say it was the first free festival. The rubbish isn’t your average domestic debris. There’s a lack of craft-working equipment for cleaning animal hides and no evidence for crop-processing,” added Pearson.

The Durrington Walls are approximately 2 miles from the Stonehenge site.

Check The Best Business Credit Card For You

Business credit card should be separately used to your personal credit cards. It is not a good idea to merge your accounts into the business credit card as it can lead to complicated consequences, especially to your business. Having a separate business card will not only make things easier for your accountants, but will make things well-organized for you, both business and personal alike.

Business credit cards are a must to businesses. These can be an asset as they enable you to run the financial functions of your business easily and sometimes can even bring along greater savings with them. But these perks can only be realized if you were able to pick the right business credit card.

How can you choose the best credit card for your business?

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xw0ktLt4pKU[/youtube]

Here are some tips when buying business credit card around:

First, you have to consider how the business credit card will be used. What purchases are you going to use it for? There is a variety of credit card types for businesses, and from the choices you can decide which will be most useful on you while getting some rewards back, whether in the form of discounts or goods. If you, or some employee, frequently fly you can get the air miles-type of credit card to get discounts on air travels.

Second, the features of the credit card might be of interest to you especially its interest rates and other charges. If you are picky, you will likely end up getting a business credit card with the lowest annual percent rate, as well as low interest rates on your purchases. If you would be lucky, there are business credit cards which do not offer interest rates, instead charges on annual percent rates alone, that you could get. Otherwise, you can look for a business credit card with the lowest possible interest rate.

You may be someone which takes fancy on the rewards after purchases made. Rewards may be of most use to your business such as air miles, free office supplies, and discounts to just about everything that you purchase. Others may provide big discounts when you use the credit card to some establishments such as hotels, restaurants, gas stations, office supplies shops, and others.

Another thing you may consider in selecting a business credit card is those that offer balance transfer. You can take advantage of this feature if you want lighter payments you can make to huge amount accumulated by your other credit card. This is not normal for business credit cards so you might have difficulty finding the right credit card. This offer usually includes 0% APR, but be on the lookout of some hidden charges. Mostly, this is an offer which only takes place several months after the introductory offer. You can find an offer which could be as long several months after 1 year though.

Lastly, you can choose business credit cards which can be used your department heads or other staffs. You can provide the card to several of your capable employees and you can have monthly statements consolidated in one bill. This way, you reduce accounting jobs by allowing your accountant track the expenses easier. For added convenience, you can have a credit card which allows daily tracking of your statements by visiting their online daily reporting website. This makes it easier for you to track how the expenses are going along.

Deadly fire below US President’s Trump Tower residence

Deadly fire below US President’s Trump Tower residence
June 21st, 2018 in Uncategorized | No Comments

Tuesday, April 10, 2018

On Saturday, the Trump Tower, in Midtown, New York City, caught fire shortly before 18:00 EST (2200 UTC) on the 50th floor, claiming the life of a 67-year-old resident, Todd Brassner, who lived in apartment 50C. All other residents were evacuated without incident. During the fire, six firefighters received non-life-threatening burns and other minor injuries. Neither US President Donald Trump nor the First Family were in the building at the time of the fire.

The high-end Fifth Avenue address is the personal residence of President Donald Trump, whose family occupies the top three stories of the 58-story building. The US Secret Service maintains a constant security presence inside the building with the New York City Police Department guarding a hard perimeter, intended to stop vehicular attacks, and a soft perimeter, intended for on-foot attacks.

The four-alarm fire required 200 firemen, extra police, and paramedics. At 20:00 EST (0000 UTC Sunday), the New York City Fire Department (FDNY) declared the fire was under control. Trump tweeted, “Firemen (and women) did a great job. THANK YOU!” This is the second fire at Trump Tower since the election; previously on January 8, a fire was caused by an electrical malfunction in a cooling tower on the roof. Three FDNY firefighters received minor injuries, and all residents and office workers evacuated without incident on that occasion.

Trump Tower provides a number of unique problems never before encountered by the Secret Service. Never has a US President’s personal residence been inside a skyscraper or in a densely populated area like Midtown. The security measures have disrupted vehicular and pedestrian traffic requiring time consuming detours and delaying emergency response.

The New York Fire Code did not mandate sprinkler systems at the time Trump Tower was built in 1983, which might have reduced the size and severity of the fire had they been present. The 50th-floor apartment was, according to FDNY Fire Commissioner Daniel Nigro, “[T]he apartment was virtually, entirely on fire.” The Secret Service monitors all the fire alarms in the building but it took time to find the source of the thick black smoke emanating from the fire. Secret Service Agents escorted the firefighters throughout the building, including the Trump residence.

Brassner, the sole casualty, was unconscious when firefighters pulled him out of apartment 50C. He was transported to Mount Sinai Roosevelt Hospital. Originally listed as critical, he was pronounced dead sometime during the night. Brassner, guitar collector, was acquainted with artist Andy Warhol and was acknowledged in Warhol’s 1989 autobiography, The Andy Warhol Diaries. The cause of the fire is unknown, with investigations into Brassner’s death and the emergency response ongoing. Currently, the Secret Service leads the investigation.

Thai anti-government leaders escape capture

Thai anti-government leaders escape capture

Saturday, April 17, 2010

In a new setback to the Thai government’s efforts to ease mounting political tensions, protest leaders escaped from their hotel Friday after security forces arrived to arrest them.

One, Arisman Pongruangrong, climbed down three floors using a rope, and was rushed away by supporters thronging the building. The police say Arisman led recent rallies at the national parliament, the election commission, and satellite transmission bases.

Officials earlier Friday said the government is preparing to arrest people linked to violent clashes with security forces last Saturday.

Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban, Thai security chief, announced the raid on the hotel as it was unfolding, saying that a Special Forces unit had closed in around a downtown Bangkok hotel.

“As I am speaking, the government’s special team is surrounding the SC Park Hotel, where we have learned that there are terrorists and some of their leaders hiding,” Suthep said.

A spokesman for the governing Democrat Party, Baranuj Smuthararaks, says arrest warrants have been issued for those suspected of being involved in the violence. Some of the suspects have been identified from photos taken during the clashes.

“Right now the government’s focusing on issuing warrants for acts of terrorism by the people who fortunately have been captured in action [in photos] by both the local and international media,” he said.

According to the New York Times, as many as five protest leaders had been staying at the same hotel as Pongruangrong. Those leaders later appeared together at a protest rally in Bangkok.

“I would like to thank all of the people who saved me,” Arisman said. “You have saved democracy.”The government says armed men infiltrated protester ranks Saturday and fired on troops trying to disperse a rally. Five soldiers and 19 protesters died during the clashes.

Thailand is facing its most severe political crisis in almost 20 years. The anti-government movement, led by the United Democratic Front against Dictatorship or UDD, demands that the government step down and call fresh elections.

UDD supporters, known as red shirts, have held protests in Bangkok for more than a month.

The UDD largely supports former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, who was ousted in a coup in 2006 and remains overseas to avoid a jail sentence for corruption. Mr. Thaksin has strong support among the rural and urban poor, as well among some sections of the army and police.

Some parties in the governing coalition want to set a clear time frame for elections to ease tensions. But the government says it will only call elections once the political situation has cooled.

Sigmoid Colon Spasms And Ovarian Pain

Sigmoid Colon Spasms and Ovarian Pain

by

Nathan Michael

Adhesions around the sigmoid colon may be the origin of the irritating bowel syndrome. Some of the symptoms in the patients are the pelvic pain.

The adhesions are the fibrous joining or the filamentous that joins the sigmoid colon to the sidewall of pelvic and sufficiently stretches to correct the colon course. It may very rarely create a slight narrow down or kink that makes the bottleneck outcome.

In one of the observational studies, it is presented that around 146 women took the laparoscopy for the pelvic pain and around 56 women were seen to have the sigmoid adhesions and 34 women out of these did not posses the sensible source of their symptoms apart from the sigmoid adhesions. Pelvic infections and endometriosis were feinted out.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMnparqmJ5I[/youtube]

All of the women with the sigmoid adhesions just possessed their adhesions with the use of cautery or laser. The bowel will be sent back to its usual position. The level of gastrointestinal symptoms and the pain are associated well with the level of adhesions that is originated during the surgery. All the women would have experienced symptoms for a period of 6 months and more than 40% of the women would have experienced this symptom for a period of more than one year.

In 6 months time, after the removal of the adhesion, 91 percent of the women had a good reduction in the symptoms of gastrointestinal and also pelvic pain. After one and a half years, 80 percent of the women reported for symptom as well pain relief.

Generally, the surgeons consider these adhesions around the sigmoid colon as a normal one and does not have any scientific implications. But the result of the findings suggests that this may originally be the relevant source of bloating, cramping and pelvic pain. The doctors also say that presently the providers do not even have a look for these adhesions and leave alone the same for treatment.

It is improbable that these deflective sigmoid adhesions will have an etiology as same as that of endometriosis. It is understood that in 60% of the women this endometriosis was lined out with the colon adhesions. Additionally, it is also doubtful that the sigmoid colon adhesions are linked with menstruation, as the same is also seen in the men.

Additionally, sigmoid adhesions may add harshness to the symptoms of the patients with the ill tempered bowel syndrome because of the unusual colon spasms or peristalsis.

The sigmoid colon has got the specific work of contraction very vigorously. This is mainly for maintaining a high pressure. This action will regulate the stool movement into the rectum. Mostly, the diverticuli happens in this place as the sigmoid has got the high pressure division of the colon. The sigmoid colon is a division of the large intestine that is nearer to the anus and the rectum. A loop is formed with an average length of 40cm and generally lies inside the pelvis and it is also very independent to get displaced to the abdominal cavity.

2008 AutoTronics Taipei: Participants from IT industry to participate COMPUTEX uncertainly

2008 AutoTronics Taipei: Participants from IT industry to participate COMPUTEX uncertainly
June 20th, 2018 in Uncategorized | No Comments

Friday, April 11, 2008

Since the AutoTronics Taipei was held from 2006, companies from electronic and automobile-related industries steadily made their stages and a good complementary in this trade show.

Before the first holding in 2006, because of the establishment of Car Electronics Pavilion in 2005 TAITRONICS Autumn (Taipei International Electronic Autumn Show), it (the pavilion) ever became a hot topic in these 2 industries. And eventually, Yulon Group recruited their sub-companies grouping their own pavilion to showcase automobile parts, accessories, and applications.

Currently, automobile navigation, mobile entertainment, and road safety, were included in modern automotive devices. But in a keynote speech of TARC Pavilion, Jamie Hsu (Consultant of Ministry of Economic Affairs of the Republic of the China) pointed out several threats and opportunities on the automotive industry, his words also echoed a notable quote by Yi-cheng Liu (Chairman of Taiwan Transportation Vehicle Manufacturers’ Association): “The automobile industry shouldn’t be monopolized by a company or its own industry. If this industry want to be grown up, it [the industry] should do more optimizations and transformations with the other related industries like IT and electronic.”

Although some participants like Renesas, Fujitsu, MiTAC, TomTom NV, and Agilent ever participated in Taipei IT Month, CeBIT, or Computex Taipei, but there were varied comments for participation on Computex 2008.

Computex 2008 will do a significant growth, of course. But we [Aglient] still consider to cooperate with Intel in a forum rather than showcasing in Computex.
We [the MiTAC Group] will appoint different sub-companies to participate in different trade shows by different industries. That’s why we showcase the same products in different shows by different sub-companies.

Renesas Technology, a participant of Computex 2007, won’t showcase in Computex 2008, but Fujitsu and TomTom both declared to participate in the 2008 Taipei IT Month.

Generally in the automobile industry, progressively conformed by the other industries, its success should depend on collaborations between different and similar industries because “not any company can do any monopoly in any industry” even though the automobile industry will become a “trillion industry” not only in Taiwan.

Police officer killed as car bomb explodes in Omagh, Northern Ireland

Police officer killed as car bomb explodes in Omagh, Northern Ireland
June 20th, 2018 in Uncategorized | No Comments

Saturday, April 2, 2011

A bomb positioned below the car of a police officer in Northern Ireland, United Kingdom has exploded, killing him. The unidentified 25-year-old officer, recently employed by the Police Service of Northern Ireland after graduating from a college of police training three weeks prior, was directly involved in the incident as he sat inside the vehicle outside his residence in Omagh, County Tyrone, which occurred at a time immediately before 1600 BST (1500 UTC) today. The man, who died at this location, has now been identified as Constable Ronan Kerr.

I have absolutely no doubt the overwhelming number of people in NI want to move on. It’s only a few Neanderthal who want to go back. They will not drag us back to the past.

It is currently uncertain as to whether or not any other individuals were killed or injured as a result of the incident. It is also unclear who was responsible for committing the act. It is thought that dissident republicans were responsible for the bomb blowing up today, due to numerous similar prior incidents involving them.

Gerry Adams, the current president of Sinn Féin, has stated: “I want to send my condolences to his family at this hugely traumatic time. Sinn Féin is determined that those responsible will not set back the progress of the peace and political process.”

Shaun Woodward, the present Shadow Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, has claimed that “[t]his evil and cowardly attack will sicken everyone across Northern Ireland. These crimes are targeted on those who protect the community. We all deeply mourn the brave young man whose life was taken by this savage crime. We all have a duty to stop those behind it from succeeding.”

Over the course of the past one-and-a-half years, numerous incidents of a similar nature have taken place with Police Service of Northern Ireland employees being targeted. Despite various devices being unsuccessful in detonating, a police officer suffered an explosion in January 2010. As a consequence, both of his legs were lost. In a separate incident in May 2008, another police officer lost their legs as the result of a bomb attack. In March 2009, a group of dissident republicans were responsible for fatally shooting a policeman in Craigavon, County Armagh.

David Cameron, the prime minister of the United Kingdom, said of today’s incident: “Those who carried out this wicked and cowardly crime will never succeed in dragging Northern Ireland back to a dark and bloody past. Their actions are rejected by the overwhelming majority of people right from all parts of the community.” Meanwhile, Peter Robinson, the current First Minister of the Northern Ireland Executive, commented that “[i]t was a young man who was bravely entering the police service, recognising that he was putting his life on the line. I have absolutely no doubt the overwhelming number of people in NI want to move on. It’s only a few Neanderthal who want to go back. They will not drag us back to the past.”

Five biggest US banks told to raise $74.6 billion; fail “stress tests”
June 19th, 2018 in Uncategorized | No Comments

Saturday, May 9, 2009

The five largest United States banks need a total of US$74.6 billion in extra funds to increase their cash reserves, according to so-called “stress tests” conducted by regulators to determine whether the banks have enough capital to survive the ongoing recession.

“Our hope with today’s actions is that banks are going to be able to get back to the business of banking,” said Timothy Geithner, the US Treasury Secretary.

The results of the stress-test determined that Bank of America was the bank most at risk, needing $33.9 billion. Wells Fargo will require an additional $13.7 billion, while GMAC needs $11.5 billion.

Seven other banks failed the “stress test”, including: Citigroup, Morgan Stanley, Regions Financial, SunTrust Banks, KeyCorp, Fifth Third Bancorp, and PNC Financial Services.

Nine other banks that underwent stress tests, such as Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, Bank of New York Mellon, MetLife, American Express, State Street, BB&T, US Bancorp and Capital One Financial, were found to have enough capital in case the recession deepens.

Those banks that need extra money will be set a June 8 deadline to draw up their plans to raise the additional capital and have regulators approve them.
