    Archaeologists have found hunting tools at the site of a new shopping centre in the ancient town of Bath in England, that extends the history of the city thousands of years further back.   The discoveries were made while a new sewer was being dug at the site.   According to a report in Western Daily Press, this discovery, consisting of flint tools found in alluvial deposits at the site, is the first evidence of human activity near the banks of the River Avon.   These findings date back to 8,000 BC, which is before any kind of recorded history and even before the idea of farming had reached the British Isles.   The first Bathonians were hunter- gatherers, following herds of deer and other game along the river valley, attracted by the hot springs and the plentiful fish in the River Avon, the report said.   According to Bath and North East Somerset archaeologist Richard Sermon, on the spot where people would later settle and use the hot springs, the first Bathonia

    As you may know, blogging is not just about having a cool design or lots of sponsors to support you. It's also about the content you write, how attractive this is and how many people like it. Because if they do, they will return to your blog on a daily basis, or if they don't have enough time, will subscribe to your RSS feed, so to be sure that they will get the latest articles you produce. But if you seem not to care about how you think and write you articles, or if your just blogging for the sake of money, then it's very likely to drive away your visitors and readers, as they don't like this kind of stuffs. Sooner or later, you will have very few subscribers ( or none ) and the traffic to your blog may decrease.

    Britain’s first Muslim minister has told young Asians that England is the best country in the world for Muslims to grow up and live in. Shahid Malik - the International Development Secretary, urged Muslims to embrace the national flag and celebrate their Englishness, as this would demonstrate their patriotism and deal a massive blow to Islamic extremists and preachers of hate. "My message to young Muslims is be proud to be English and don't let anyone steal your identity. This is one of the greatest nations in the world and we should be proud to live here - let's shout about it a bit more. There is no other country in the world I would rather be. The rights and freedoms we enjoy are better than any country in the world for Muslims, better than any country in the Islamic world,” The Sun quoted Malik, as saying. The tolerance and sense of fair play shown by Britain to Muslims should be reciprocated by a zero tolerance of hate-fuelled Islamic views, Malik said. (ANI

    Nicolas Cage is set to fulfil his lifelong dream of celebrating a Dickensian Christmas – by spending the holidays in Bath, England. The actor, a lifelong fan of author Charles Dickens, is shunning Hollywood and heading for a winter retreat in the ancient English city.   "I'm taking everyone to England and I've never done that.
