When and where in Britain was the first 'Asda' supermarket opened? |
| Question found in Miscellaneous |
|
|
ASDA is the second largest supermarket chains in UK. It offers the customers with food, clothing and general merchandise products. In 1999 it was taken over by the American retail giant Wal-Mart and now it is operating as a subsidiary of Wal-mart. The history of ASDA goes back in to the 1920s. Two different business's, 1. The Asquith families butcher shop in Knottingley, West Yorkshire and 2. a union formed by a group of enterprising West Riding dairy farmers, under the banner of Hindell’s Dairy Farmers Ltd and a subsidiary company, Craven Dairies Ltd, paved the way to the todays ASDA. In 1963 Peter Asquith and his brother Fred converted an old Theatre called Queen's Theatre, in Castleford, West Yorkshire into a self-service supermarket. This was quickly followed by a second supermarket at Edlington, near Doncaster. When they where flourishing, Peter Asquith started looking for a company to take over his in-store butchery operation and made contact with Craven Dairies and a new company ASDA (ASquith + DAiries) was formed. They started their next store at Wakefiled, Southgate. Please check out the history of ASDA at their official website using the following links, for more information. 1. http://asdacares.gpalm.co.uk/the_asda_story/the_asda_story_load.html 2. http://asdacares.gpalm.co.uk/the_asda_story/story_1920_1960.html |

You have already implemented all the measures that are needed to prevent against a PC hijacking situation. But one thing to note is that not setting up the defences correctly, i.e. configuring the firewall and your antivirus program correctly, may compromise the security of your computer. I will list some common symptoms that can be detected on a PC that is being remotely used for some purpose that the original owner of the PC has nothing to do with. 1. Unusual and over usage of bandwidth. 2. Feeling Unusual sluggishness in the transfer rate. 3. Unusual Harddisk activity. 4. Bounced mails from strangers in your mailbox. The symptoms said above are usually attached to a hijacked PC but their presence may also be present due to some other causes. |
