If that sounds familiar, you might have eldest daughter syndrome. Eldest daughter syndrome isn't a diagnosable condition, but rather the behaviors, thought patterns, and priorities that can arise from being what's known as "parentified" as a child. People experiencing eldest daughter syndrome disproportionately tend to be women from low-income families and families from the global majority who might have more culturally-imposed expectations of daughters, she said. Capleton shared the signs you could be experiencing eldest daughter syndrome, whether you're the firstborn daughter or not. Feeling the need to take responsibility for everyone elseOne of the biggest signs of eldest daughter syndrome is taking on a lot of responsibility from a young age.

A 9th century gravesite unearthed in England suggests ancient settlers may have feared the undead. Researchers with the Museum of London Archeology discovered a 15-year-old girl buried face-down. Archeologists, however, discovered the Conington girl buried face-down in a pit that marked the entrance to the small settlement and believe her ankles may have also been tied together, according to the MOLA statement. Archeologists unearthed the remains of a 15-year-old girl in a Medieval settlement near Conington, Cambridgeshire several years ago. "Her burial rites may have reflected the nature of her death, or her social identity or that of her family."

CNN —Analysis of the remains of a young Medieval girl, who was buried face down with her ankles potentially tied together, suggests extra measures were taken to ensure “she could not ‘return’ from the grave,” archaeologists have said. “To be buried face-down is thought to have been a social expression of ‘otherness’, a burial practice reserved for people considered outside of Early Medieval society,” MOLA said. MOLA Headland InfrastructureOsteologists – bone specialists – at MOLA found evidence to suggest the girl was of a low social status. She was buried in a pit that used to hold an entry post for the Early Medieval Gatehouse at the Conington settlement. Oxford Archaeology“As well as being buried face down on a boundary, the position of her ankles suggests they may have been tied together.

CNN —A team of researchers excavating mass burial sites in England have detected the DNA of the bacteria that caused the plague in human skeletal remains — and they are the oldest known cases of the disease in Great Britain. The bacterial DNA is thousands of years more ancient than the oldest strain uncovered prior to this latest finding. When it comes to the disease, there is a lot that scientists still don’t know — including how it spread, Swali said. And science may never truly know the severity of the plague 4,000 years ago when it came to humans, Roberts said. And while there are historical records of plague outbreaks, ancient DNA could potentially give us a look even further back, Swali said.

SUA lansează un nou avertisment oficial la adresa Marii Britanii, după ce britanicii și-au dat acceptul pentru construirea unui centru de cercetare Huawei în valoare de un miliard de lire sterline. Statele Unite au dat Marii Britanii un nou avertisment referitor la grupul chinez Huawwei, în urma aprobării de către o autoritate locală a construcţiei unui centru de cercetare şi dezvoltare în domeniul cipurilor, în valoare de 1 miliard de lire sterline (1,24 miliarde dolari), în regiunea Cambridgeshire, transmite CNBS, citat de news.ro. Consilierii din districtul South Cambridgeshire au votat joi în proporţie de 9 la 1 în favoarea construirii centrului Huawei. Faptul că Huawei ”este supus autorităţii guvernului” înseamnă ”că nu poate exista încredere”, a avertizat departamentul. Huawei a negat în repetate rânduri că transferă date Beijingului şi insistă că grupul este independent faţă de guvern.
