Great Pyramid of Giza: Archaeologists on brink of uncovering 'secret chambers' hidden inside

Researchers using cutting-edge technology hope they will soon pinpoint the location of a mystery 'cavity' within the 4,500-year-old wonder The Pyramid of Khufu, the largest of the Giza pyramids, seen behind a canal which flows into the River Nile on the outskirts of Cairo The Pyramid of Khufu, the largest of the Giza pyramids, seen behind a canal which flows into the River Nile on the outskirts of Cairo REUTERS Archaeologists could be on the cusp of uncovering a secret chamber hidden deep within the Great Pyramid of Giza. A team of scientists armed with cutting-edge technology including infrared scanners have been working to pinpoint the location of a mystery "cavity" inside the Ancient Egyptian wonder. They confirmed the existence of the space 105m above the ground behind the north-east edge of the 4,500-year-old pyramid in October last year, following tests using advanced, non-invasive technology. Researchers are now analysing further data gathered through techniques including infrared thermography, 3D reconstruction and muography - which produces images by recording particles known as muons - and hope they will soon be able to identify the precise location of the chamber. READ MORE HAVE SCIENTISTS DISCOVERED TWO NEW ROOMS IN THE GREAT PYRAMID OF GIZA? "All the devices we put in place are designed to find where the cavity is located. We know there is one, but we're trying to find out where," Mehdi Tayoubi, president of France's HIP Institute, told AFP. The institute launched the Scan Pyramids project with researchers from Cairo University's Faculty of Engineering in October 2015. The project is among the most ambitious of the ventures aiming to uncover the mysteries of the pyramid near Cairo. The 480ft structure, also known as the Pyramid of Khufu after the king for whom it was built, is the largest of the three Giza pyramids and the only surviving monument of the seven wonders of the ancient world. PICTURE GALLERY: STUNNING IMAGES FROM THE TOP OF EGYPT'S GREAT PYRAMID The team's sophisticated technology includes electronic sensors from the KEK Japanese Research Laboratory, chemical emulsion instruments from Japan's University of Nagoya, and muon telescopes from the French Atomic Energy Commission. Muons are similar to X-rays but can penetrate hundreds of metres of stone before being absorbed. Researchers said last year that a cavity detected "could have the form of at least one corridor going inside the Great Pyramid". They also confirmed the presence of an "unknown void" on the north side of the structure. But Egypt's Ministry of Antiquities, which has employed a team of scientists to oversee Scan Pyramids, last year cautioned against concluding the cavity was an undiscovered room and said more work was needed to establish the nature and size of the space. READ MORE Are these world wonders worth the hype? Video shows tourist illegally climb Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt Robot to explore mysterious tunnels in Great Pyramid “The core [of the pyramid] has big and small stones, and this can show hollows everywhere,” said Zahi Hawass, leader of the oversight team. The ministry is said to be cautious about declaring findings after an anti-climatic media frenzy over burial place of the legendary queen Nefertiti. In late 2015, Egyptian researchers conducted radar scans of Tutankhamun's tomb in the Valley of the Kings in southern Egypt, after a British archaeologist suggested the queen may have been buried there in a secret chamber. But the tests yielded inconclusive results and the theory has been dismissed by some Egyptologists. https://www.facebook.com/facedealsfaceprices/

Twin brothers Ronald "RonnieKray (24 October 1933 – 17 March 1995) and Reginald"ReggieKray (24 October 1933 – 1 October 2000) were English gangsters who were the foremost perpetrators of organised crime in the East End of London during the 1950s and 1960s. With their gang, the Firm, the Krays were involved in armed robberiesarsonprotection racketsassaults and the murders of Jack "the Hat" McVitie and George Cornell.

Quad Copter




Maker Faire quadcopter in Garden City, Idaho

A quadcopter being recovered after photographing the Head of the Charlesregatta in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
quadcopter, also called a quadrotor helicopter or quadrotor,[1] is a multirotorhelicopter that is lifted and propelled by four rotors. Quadcopters are classified as rotorcraft, as opposed to fixed-wing aircraft, because their lift is generated by a set of rotors (vertically oriented propellers).
Quadcopters generally use two pairs of identical fixed pitched propellers; two clockwise (CW) and two counterclockwise(CCW). These use independent variation of the speed of each rotor to achieve control. By changing the speed of each rotor it is possible to specifically generate a desired total thrust; to locate for the centre of thrust both laterally and longitudinally; and to create a desired total torque, or turning force.[2]
Quadcopters differ from conventional helicopters, which use rotors that are able to vary the pitch of their blades dynamically as they move around the rotor hub. In the early days of flight, quadcopters (then referred to either as 'quadrotors' or 'helicopters') were seen as possible solutions to some of the persistent problems in vertical flight. Torque-induced control issues (as well as efficiency issues originating from the tail rotor, which generates no useful lift) can be eliminated by counter-rotation, and the relatively short blades are much easier to construct. A number of manned designs appeared in the 1920s and 1930s. These vehicles were among the first successful heavier-than-air vertical take off and landing (VTOL)vehicles.[3] However, early prototypes suffered from poor performance,[3] and latter prototypes required too much pilot work load, due to poor stability augmentation[4] and limited control authority.
In the late 2000s, advances in electronics allowed the production of cheap lightweight flight controllers, accelerometers (IMU), global positioning system and cameras. This resulted in the quadcopter configuration becoming popular for small unmanned aerial vehicles. With their small size and maneuverability, these quadcopters can be flown indoors as well as outdoors.[1][5]
At a small size, quadcopters are cheaper and more durable than conventional helicopters due to their mechanical simplicity.[6] Their smaller blades are also advantageous because they possess less kinetic energy, reducing their ability to cause damage. For small-scale quadcopters, this makes the vehicles safer for close interaction. It is also possible to fit quadcopters with guards that enclose the rotors, further reducing the potential for damage.[7] However, as size increases, fixed propeller quadcopters develop disadvantages over conventional helicopters. Increasing blade size increases their momentum. This means that changes in blade speed take longer, which negatively impacts control. Helicopters do not experience this problem as increasing the size of the rotor disk does not significantly impact the ability to control blade pitch.[8]
Due to their ease of construction and control, quadcopter aircraft are frequently used as amateur model aircraft projects.[9][10]

Physical exercise


Running in water

Weight training

Physical exercise is any bodily activity that enhances or maintains physical fitness and overall health and wellness.[1] It is performed for various reasons, including increasing growth and development, preventing aging, strengthening muscles and the cardiovascular system, honing athletic skills, weight loss or maintenance, and also enjoyment. Frequent and regular physical exercise boosts the immune system and helps prevent "diseases of affluence" such as cardiovascular diseasetype 2 diabetes, and obesity.[2][3] It may also help prevent stress and depression, increase quality of sleep and act as a non-pharmaceutical sleep aid to treat diseases such as insomnia, help promote or maintain positive self-esteem, improve mental health, maintain steady digestion and treat constipation and gas, regulate fertility health, and augment an individual's sex appeal or body image, which has been found to be linked with higher levels of self-esteem.[4][5]Childhood obesity is a growing global concern,[6] and physical exercise may help decrease some of the effects of childhood and adult obesity. Some care providers call exercise the "miracle" or "wonder" drug—alluding to the wide variety of benefits that it can provide for many individuals.[7][8] Aside from the health advantages, these benefits may include different social rewards for staying active while enjoying the environment of one's culture. Many individuals choose to exercise publicly outdoors where they can congregate in groups, socialize, and appreciate life.[9]

In the United Kingdom two to four hours of light activity are recommended during working hours.[10] This includes walking and standing.[10] In the United States, the CDC/ACSM consensus statement and the Surgeon General's report states that every adult should participate in moderate exercise, such as walking, swimming, and household tasks, for a minimum of 30 minutes daily.[11]

History of the World

This article is about the history of humanity. For the entire history of Earth, see History of Earth. For a field of historical study, see World history. For other uses, see History of the world (disambiguation).

The history of the world is the history of humanity (or human history), as determined from archaeologyanthropologygeneticslinguistics, and other disciplines; and, for periods since the invention of writing, from recorded history and from secondary sourcesand studies.

World population, 10,000 BCE – 2,000 CE (vertical population scale is logarithmic)[1]

Humanity's written history was preceded by its prehistory, beginning with the Palaeolithic Era ("Early Stone Age"), followed by the Neolithic Era ("New Stone Age"). The Neolithic saw the Agricultural Revolution begin, between 8000 and 5000 BCE, in the Near East's Fertile Crescent. The Agricultural Revolution marked a fundamental change in history, with humans beginning the systematic husbandry of plants and animals.[2] As agriculture advanced, most humans transitioned from a nomadic to a settled lifestyle as farmers in permanent settlements. The relative security and increased productivity provided by farming allowed communities to expand into increasingly larger units, fostered by advances in transportation.

Whether in prehistoric or historic times, people always had to be near reliable sources of potable water. Cities developed on riverbanks as early as 3000 BCE, when some of the first well-developed settlements arose in Mesopotamia,[3] on the banks of Egypt's Nile River,[4][5] in the Indus River valley,[6] and along China's rivers.[7][8] As farming developed, grain agriculture became more sophisticated and prompted a division of labour to store food between growing seasons. Labour divisions led to the rise of a leisured upper class and the development of cities, which provided the foundation for civilization. The growing complexity of human societies necessitated systems of accounting and writing.

With civilizations flourishing, ancient history("Antiquity," including the Classical Age,[9] up to about 500 CE[10]) saw the rise and fall of empires. Post-classical history (the "Middle Ages," c. 500–1500 CE [11]) witnessed the rise of Christianity, the Islamic Golden Age (c. 750 CE – c. 1258 CE), and the early Italian Renaissance (from around 1300 CE). The Early Modern Period, sometimes referred to as the "European Age",[12] from about 1500 to 1800,[13] included the Age of Enlightenmentand the Age of Discovery. The mid-15th-century invention of modern printing, employing movable type,[14] revolutionized communication and facilitated ever wider dissemination of information, helping end the Middle Ages and ushering in the Scientific Revolution.[15] By the 18th century, the accumulation of knowledge and technologyhad reached a critical mass that brought about the Industrial Revolution[16] and began the Late Modern Period, which starts around 1800 and includes the current day.[17]

This scheme of historical periodization(dividing history into Antiquity, Post-Classical, Early Modern, and Late Modern periods) was developed for, and applies best to, the history of the Old World, particularly Europe and the Mediterranean. Outside this region, including ancient China and ancient India, historical timelines unfolded differently. However, by the 18th century, due to extensive world trade and colonization, the histories of most civilizations had become substantially intertwined. In the last quarter-millennium, the rates of growth of population, knowledge, technology, communications, commerce, weapons destructiveness, and environmental degradation have greatly accelerated, creating opportunities and perils that now confront the planet's human communities.[18]

The health and fitness portal

The most widely accepted definition of health is that of the World Health Organization Constitution. It states: "health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity" (World Health Organization, 1946). In more recent years, this statement has been amplified to include the ability to lead a "socially and economically productive life". The WHO definition is not without criticism, mainly that it is too broad. Some argue that health cannot be defined as a state at all, but must be seen as a dynamic process of continuous adjustment to the changing demands of living. In spite of its limitations, the concept of health as defined by WHO is broad and positive in its implications, in that it sets out a high standard for positive health.

The most solid aspects of wellness that fit firmly in the realm of medicine are the environmental health, nutrition, disease prevention, and public health matters that can be investigated and assist in measuring well-being.

Selected biography

Linus Carl Pauling(February 28, 1901 – August 19, 1994) was an Americanquantum chemistand biochemist, widely regarded as the premier chemist of the twentieth century. Pauling was a pioneer in the application of quantum mechanics to chemistry, and in 1954 was awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry for his work describing the nature of chemical bonds. He also made important contributions to crystal and protein structure determination, and was one of the founders of molecular biology. Pauling received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1962 for his campaign against above-ground nuclear testing, becoming only one of four people in history to individually receive two Nobel Prizes. Later in life, he became an advocate for regular consumption of massive doses of Vitamin C. Pauling coined the term "orthomolecular" to refer to the practice of varying the concentration of substances normally present in the body to prevent and treat disease, and promote health.

Pauling was first introduced to the concept of high-dose vitamin C by biochemist Irwin Stone in 1966 and began taking several grams every day to prevent colds. Excited by the results, he researched the clinical literature and published "Vitamin C and the Common Cold" in 1970. He began a long clinical collaboration with the British cancer surgeon, Ewan Cameron, MD [1] in 1971 on the use of intravenous and oral vitamin C as cancer therapy for terminal patients. Cameron and Pauling wrote many technical papers and a popular book, "Cancer and Vitamin C", that discussed their observations. He later collaborated with the Canadian physician, Abram Hoffer, MD, PhD,[2] on a micronutrient regimen, including high-dose vitamin C, as adjunctive cancertherapy.

The selective toxicity of vitamin C for cancer cells has been demonstrated repeatedly in cell culture studies. The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences [3] recently published a paper demonstrating vitamin C killing cancer cells. As of 2005, some physicians have called for a more careful reassessment of vitamin C, especially intravenous vitamin C, in cancer treatment.

With two colleagues, Pauling founded the Institute of Orthomolecular Medicine in Menlo Park, California, in 1973, which was soon renamed the Linus Pauling Institute of Science and Medicine. Pauling directed research on vitamin C, but also continued his theoretical work in chemistry and physics until his death in 1994. In his last years, he became especially interested in the possible role of vitamin C in preventing atherosclerosisand published three case reports on the use of lysine and vitamin C to relieve angina pectoris. In 1996, the Linus Pauling Institute moved from Palo Alto, California, to Corvallis, Oregon, to become part of Oregon State University, where it continues to conduct research on micronutrientsphytochemicals(chemicals from plants), and other constituents of the diet in preventing and treating disease.

Health – Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being. this is a level of functional and (or) metabolic efficiency of a person in mind, body and spirit; being free from illness, injury or pain (as in “good health” or “healthy”). The World Health Organization (WHO) defined health in its broader sense in 1946 as "a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity."

Death – cessation of life.Exercise – any bodily activity that enhances or maintains physical fitness and overall health and wellness. It is performed for various reasons including strengthening muscles and the cardiovascular system, honing athletic skills, weight loss or maintenance, and mental health including the prevention of depression. Frequent and regular physical exercise boosts the immune system, and helps prevent the "diseases of affluence" such as heart disease, cardiovascular disease, Type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity.Nutrition – provision, to cells and organisms, of the materials necessary (in the form of food) to support life.Life extension – The study of slowing down or reversing the processes of aging to extend both the maximum and average lifespan.Health sciences – applied sciences that address the use of science, technology, engineering or mathematics in the delivery of healthcare to human beings.Medicine – science and art of healing. It encompasses a variety of health care practices evolved to maintain and restore health by the prevention and treatment of illness.Anesthesia – a way to control pain during a surgery or procedure by using medicine called anesthetics.Cardiology – branch of medicine dealing with disorders of the human heart. The field includes medical diagnosis and treatment of congenital heart defects, coronary artery disease, heart failure, valvular heart disease and electrophysiology.Clinical research – aspect of biomedical research that addresses the assessment of new pharmaceutical and biological drugs, medical devices and vaccines in humans.Diabetes – a group of metabolic diseases in which the person has high blood glucose (blood sugar) above 200mg/dl, either because insulin production is inadequate, or because the body's cells do not respond properly to insulin, or both.Dentistry – branch of medicine that is involved in the study, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases, disorders and conditions of the mouth, maxillofacial area and the adjacent and associated structures (teeth) and their impact on the human body.Emergency medicine – medical specialty involving care for undifferentiated, unscheduled patients with acute illnesses or injuries that require immediate medical attention. Emergency physicians undertake acute investigations and interventions to resuscitate and stabilize patients.Obstetrics – medical specialty dealing with the care of all women's reproductive tracts and their children during pregnancy (prenatal period), childbirth and the postnatal period.Trauma & Orthopedics – medical specialty dealing with bones, joints and operative management of trauma.Psychiatry – medical specialty devoted to the study and treatment of mental disorders. These mental disorders include various affective, behavioural, cognitive and perceptual abnormalities.Autism a mental condition, present from early childhood, characterized by great difficulty in communicating and forming relationships with other people and in using language and abstract concepts.Psychiatric survivors movement – is a diverse association of individuals who either currently access mental health services (known as consumers or service users), or who are survivors of interventions by psychiatry, or who are ex-patients of mental health.
