Article: Egypt is a truly ancient kingdom, which history dates around 120,000 years BC, and has led a cherished life until it was conquered by the Romans and was part of various empires in later years including the Ottoman, French and British Empires. It is not clear when Egyptian history truly started although by 5500 BC communities were settling around the Nile and developing agriculture. This era is typically known as the Pre-dynastic period. The climate was far less arid then than it is now, with much of the land covered with Savannah and grasslands. The Early Dynastic period started around 3050BCE is typically formed by the uniting of two Kingdoms, Upper Egypt, which paradoxically is in the south of Egypt and Lower Egypt which is in the northern Nile Delta regions. This period developed the powerful institution of the Pharaohs, which were critical to its stability, regional influence and survival. In 2868 BC the period known as the Old Kingdom started, it was within this age that greater developments started, such as a justice system, taxation system and other levels of governance as well as more advanced crop management. The practice of creating Pyramids started in this era, creating what would become many "cities of the dead" which are known as necropolis. In this age were the building of the pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx among many others. In 2181 BC, power struggles as well as over a century of famine conditions weakened the structure of Egypt and created what is known as the First Intermediate Period. This period lasted a relatively short time as Egypt had re-split into Upper and Lower Egypt and the period ended when the two rival dynasties went to war, with the winners being Upper Egypt who ruled from Thebes. In 2134 BC The Pharaohs of the Upper Kingdom had reunited Egypt and set to restore the countries prosperity. This era is known as the Middle Kingdom and an age when Egypt controlled great wealth from agriculture, precious metals and led to a great revival of arts, literature and architecture. This kingdom collapsed yet again due to famine and restive migrants. 1674 BC was the start of the Second Intermediate Period. In this age the Pharaohs power was heavily reduced and was expected to pay tribute to what were seen as foreign rulers that are known as 'Hyksos'. However they did absorb Egyptian culture as a way to hold power and introduced many new inventions. The Pharaoh's court was forced to remain at the old capital, where it was kept busy by an old enemy Nubia (Sudan & Ethiopia) to the south and the Hyksos to the North. By 1549BCE, The Pharaohs had gradually built the military and defeated both Nubia and the Hyksos, which lead to the New Kingdom. In this age the Egyptian Empire was at its largest and saw a great period of arts, monument building and literature. This age built vast wealth, however as its religious institutions become too powerful, the nation fractured once again. The Third Intermediate Period lasted for quite some time, starting from 1069 BC and was ruled by many dynasties, including many Libyan princes. While the empire regained power, wealth and prestige, it also was a period with many wars that led to an eventual decline. By 672BCE, the two kingdoms were reunited and this is known as the Late period. In this age Egypt was threatened by many different Kingdoms and was eventually conquered the the Greeks in 332BCE, by Alexander the Great. The Ptolemaic period was 3 centuries ruled by Greek dynasties, however the Hellenistic culture did not overthrow the ancient culture and the Greek rulers absorbed the local culture and religion to hold power. 30 BCE is marked by the famous story of Cleopatra, arguably the last true independent Pharaoh of Egypt, but does not count as the last Egyptian Pharaoh which was before the invasion by Greece. The stories say that Cleopatra having failed to fend off a Roman invasion during a Roman civil war with her Roman lover Mark Antony and committed suicide after which Egypt swiftly fell to the Romans.

Problem: Article: Spray the bottom and inside walls of a slow cooker with cooking spray. If you don't have cooking spray, you can rub butter to grease the slow cooker. This will prevent the potatoes from sticking. You'll need to use a slow cooker that's at least 4-quarts (3.8 liters) in size. Change the heat back to HIGH and cook the potatoes for 2 to 3 hours so they're completely soft. Turn the slow cooker to LOW and cook them for 1 more hour. The total cooking time will be 3 to 4 hours. Turn off the slow cooker and take the lid off. Serve the hot au gratin potatoes with roast beef, steamed vegetables, or rolls. Store the leftover potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days.

Article: Just before you feel your stomach rumbling, take a deep breath. Hold your breath for ten seconds, and then breathe out. When you take a deep breath, your diaphragm pushes down on your stomach. When pushed on, the stomach acts like a water balloon and protrudes in the opposite direction. This may help with digestion by mobilizing the stomach contents and also helping air move through to the small intestine. If you are nervous because of a meeting at work or a test at school, you might want to take a trip to the bathroom before the big event. Nervousness and anxiety increases the activity in your gut, so you may have to use the bathroom a little sooner than usual. Your stomach may be telling you that you need to eat. Although eating isn't always the answer to a growling stomach, it will sometimes solve the problem. Since the squeezing of your intestinal tract gets louder when your small intestine is empty, you could turn the volume down by giving it some food to digest.
