Oldest Cat |
"The oldest living cat" is naturally a class where the headlines change regularly, and at last give way to old age. Just as an official record, there are numerous unverified records of longevity. Some of these contestants die before their claim can be checked while others are handicapped by lack of birth records. This means that the category is biased in favour of purebred cats and against national Moggies. Some of the unverified claimants achieve national fame through magazines or international news coverage.
In 2004, it was reported that the oldest living cat (verified) was a Burmese lady 27 years Kataleena property called Mrs V Hayward of Melbourne , Australia . Kataleena Lady was born March 11, 1977. In March 2005, a cat called Amber from west Wales was a contender for the oldest living cat home. Amber was a fully grown stray of 2 to 3 years old when adopted by Diane Sleeman of Ferryside in 1978. Diane believes Amber is approaching 30, which would almost 5 years older than the verified record holder, however, Guinness World Records require evidence of the longevity of Amber. Amber was toothless, but fit and healthy, although less active than it used to be. Diane attributes the longevity of Amber reduced to a diet that included cod hot chicken and shrimp, in addition to regular cat food. In March 2005, the oldest living cat (verified) was 23 years old Spook from Ontario , Canada .
Oldsmobile, which debuted in the industry in 1897, had made patent its score on the automobile industry after its existence of more than a century. One part of General Motors (GM) Marques, Oldsmobile, however, stopped production in 2004. His latest batch of models of vehicles was marked with the Final 500 'and put on dark cherry metallic body paint red. Some of the newest models are presently on exhibit at the RE Olds Transportation Museum in Detroit . Since it is the last manufactured, produced GM-Oldsmobile has been considered the oldest automobile brand in the U.S. and the third after Peugeot and Daimler worldwide.
The specified name of the Oldsmobile brand, which was originally called Olds cars, derived from its creator Ransom E. Olds. For over a decade, this mark of 107 years old was under the Michigan-based company Oldsmobile Motor Vehicle. Oldsmobile was one of the most admired brands in theU.S. , particularly for the model of the Oldsmobile called Curved Dash brand, which were released in 1907. In its 12th year in the industry, on the other hand, Oldsmobile was sold to GM due to financial difficulties experienced by its former parent. The transition poses no threat to the Oldsmobile brand as we continue to prosper in terms of sales quantity and manufacture until the 1980s. The dense yet powerful engine dubbed the Rocket V8 was one of the parts Oldsmobile popularity in those years.
Since a great part of existence in this industry Oldsmobile volatile GM spent much of the mark acquires the mechanical innovations of its parent company. At that moment, Oldsmobile cars were on top of another GM-produced brand. In the 80's, an Olds car model was actually the first GM vehicle that the umbrella was oriented with an automatic transmission. In addition, the electricity controller powered lights also was the first time the Oldsmobile brand.
Even though Oldsmobile has stopped producing any vehicles of its mark, there are still brand cars, such as the Alero Oldsmobile Bravada and, among others, that conceitedly carry the Oldsmobile emblem on the streets today. To preserve the strength of both old and new models, Oldsmobile parts are always restructured by the owners. These new parts Oldsmobile cars remain this brand of GM production up with more modern counterparts of the other companies.

Oldest shoes-Areni |
While surfing the net I found this very old prehistoric Prada found in the cave of Armenia . The 5,500 years old, dates of shoes dates about 3500 BC and is about 1,000 years older than the Great Pyramid of Khufu (Cheops), and some 400 years older than the oldest parts of Stonehenge (The area was used in rituals and ~ 8000 BC, but the trench and chalk are about 3100 BC). The cave, Areni 1, is well known in the area due to their high visibility and the number of homes in the cave. However, archaeologists did not imagine discovering the oldest shoe in the world exists. Originally the team thought the shoe was 600-700 years due to the state that was highly preserved, three separate radiocarbon dating tests all gave the same results that this was the oldest known shoe in the world.
The previous oldest shoes in the world met at the foot of Ötzi, the Iceman, and a body of 5,300 years old found frozen in a glacier in Austria . Both old Otzi shoes and Areni shoes, however, have the difference of being the oldest known footwear in survival. Vegetable fibre sandals found in Arnold Research Cave , Missouri Areni fashioned shoe for years 2000-2500, while precisely not the shoes.

The old shoe Areni is also remarkably related to the styles of shoes that were found thousands of years after that period, looking like the pampooties that were popular in the Aran Islands of Ireland in the 1950's. Thus, while the old shoe Areni is the oldest shoe in the world, the style has lived for millennia.
Oldest Church-Dura Europos |
Dura Europos was said to be the oldest church founded in 303 BC by Seleucids. Seleucids (the successors of Alexander the Great) found this old church at the crossroads of an east-west trade road and a north-south trade road along the Euphrates. The new city was named after the hometown of Seleucus I Nicator, guarded the river crossing on the road between Antioch on the Orontes and Seleucia on the Tigris. This old Dura Europos was believed to be a part of a network of military colonies.
Dura Europos was rebuilt as an old Hellenistic city by the 2nd century BC. This oldest church was laid out formally with a rectangular grid of streets around a large central agora. The location of the old Dura Europos is said to be an important crossroads made it a very cosmopolitan city: the signs in many languages have been establish here as well as the sacred buildings of pagans, Jews and Christians.

The old Dura Europos shortly became a border line stronghold of the old Parthian Empire and said to be captured by the Romans in 165 AD. Within early 200 AD, the old well-known house-church and the synagogue was built in Dura Europos. There was also an old Mithraeum, a Temple of Bel and a temple of Adonis in the multi-cultural city.
The old Dura Europos was deserted after a Sassanian cordon in 256-257. In a last attempt to save the city, the synagogue was filled to strength, ensuring its conservation. The old city sooner became covered with quicksand and vanished from vision.
In spite of the existence of old Dura-Europos, was not exposed until British troops under the instruction of Captain Murphy made the first detection during the Arab revolution in the outcome of World War I On March 30, 1920. James Henry Breasted an American archaeologist, then in Baghdad, was alerted. Major excavations were conceded out in 1920 and 1930 by French and U.S. teams.

The first excavations of the old location, conducted by Franz Cumont published by the year 1922 to 1923, identified the location as an old Dura-Europos and revealed an old temple before warfare in the area was closed to archaeology. Afterwards, Michael Rostovtzeff campaigns about restoration funded by the Yale University that was sustained until 1937 when funds ran out with only part of the excavations published. As of 1986, excavations were continued. Not the least of the findings was astonishingly well conserved arms and armor belonging to the Roman garrison at the moment of the final 256-Sassanid location.
Backgammon is believed to be the oldest game in the world, and archaeologists have found old backgammon games dating as far back as 3000 BC. This is an old classic game of luck combined with the strategy; one should roll the dice and then choose the best way to get around. The nice thing about backgammon is that the regulations are easy to describe, but mastering the game can take a lifetime. Unlike chess, the old game is also immediate to pick, choose and play, with games often lasting only minutes. Mostly, there are two sides to an old backgammon board, each with twelve beds for a total of twenty-four seats. These spaces are numbered from 1 to 24 in contrary to the directions of both players, so a player of a space is the space of two players of 24 years, and so on. Counters where each of the players (women) are placed varies depending on the rules used, but a common configuration is five days 6 and 13, three to eight, and two 24. To begin the old game, each dice turn, and the player who turns the uppermost gets the first turn with the numbers of the two dice. The policy is that each number is a movement, so if you turn a one and a six, can go a piece of a space and a checker six spaces. At this point is where it begins to be a bit complicated, but attach with it. When deciding which spell to move and where you have to consider moves are allowed. The tokens can only move to spaces that do not have the ladies, only the tabs, or only one of the ladies of her enemy - can not move to any space that has two or more of the ladies of her enemy. On the other hand, if it falls into a space where your enemy has only one inspector has occupied it and put it in the 'bar' in the centre of the old board. The bar counts as "zero space" of the dice, and ladies should not move before the others can be.
Antikythera Mechanism-said to be the oldest computer on Earth, publicized a century ago in a shipwreck near Crete , and was built in the second century. This oldest computer was said to be restored in 1900-1901 of the ancient Antikythera demolish. This old computers value and density is not really understood until decades afterwards. Its said creation period is estimated among 150 and 100 years BC old. Previous reports of this year confirmed that it was very old astronomical calendar, but now everyone knows the full capability of this old machine.
The old machine is notable for the point of miniaturization and density of its old parts, which is comparable to the 19-century old clock. It has over 30 old gears, although Michael Wright has suggested up to 72 old gears, with teeth formed by equilateral triangles. When a time was entered by means of an eccentric (now lost), the mechanism projected the position of the Sun and Moon or other astronomical information such as the locations of planets. Since the objective was the position of astronomical bodies in relation to the celestial sphere with indication to the location of the viewer on the Earth's surface, the new equipment is based on the geocentric model.
