• Archaeologists general divide prehistoric eras into three ages – the Stone Age, the Bronze Age, and the Iron Age – named such for the material used for making implements and weapons. During the Stone Age, stone was fashioned with a sharp edge or a point, with the oldest known stone tools excavated from several sites in what is now Ethiopia. The Stone Age is divided into three sub-eras, the Paleolithic era (early), roughly 70,000 to 20,000 B.C., the Mesolithic era (middle), 20,000 to 7000 B.C., and the Neolithic era (new), 7000 to 3000 B.C. The period of the Bronze Age is considered to be from 3000 to 1200 B.C., and ushered in the use of copper and tin with the alloy bronze in the manufacture of tools and weapons. The Iron Age occurred between 1200 and 600 B.C., when the harder and tougher iron replaced bronze. Cultural changes accompanied the difference in metal, as newer agricultural practices, religious beliefs, and artistic styles evolved. Decorative designs on ornaments and pottery became prevalent. Blacksmiths were hammering items into shape, advancing away from the Bronze Age’s method of casting.

• The period of European history from the 5th to the 15th centuries is referred to as the Middle Ages. It began after the collapse of the Western Roman Empire and the abdication of Romulus Augustus in the year 476. The early Middle Ages were called the Dark Ages, lasting until about 1000, during which time there was a drastic deterioration in cultural development and the economy, as well as an increase in wars. The part of the Middle Ages commonly known as the Medieval Period, began around 1000, and continued until the Renaissance began in the 16th century. Gothic art and architecture appeared during this era. • The goal of the religious wars known as the Crusades during the Middle Ages was to restore the holy places in Jerusalem. Pope Urban II begged Catholic armies to go to war against Muslim forces in the Holy Land.

IT’S BEEN AGES! (continued): • The Age of Discovery started in the early 1400s and continued to the 1600s. Also called the Age of Exploration, it was the time when Europeans began travels in search of new sea trade routes to what they thought were the East Indies. The Portuguese and Spanish dominated the exploration – Vasco da Gama, Magellan, Balboa, Cortes, Ponce de Leon, and, of course, Columbus were the leaders of the more well-known voyages of discovery. • When the Earth undergoes a long-term reduction in surface and atmospheric temperatures, glaciers and ice sheets may expand. This is known as an ice age, or more accurately, a glacial age. Experts say there have been at least five major ice ages over the Earth’s history. They are probably the result of an interaction between very small changes in the Earth’s orbit, changes in ocean currents, and changes in the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. We can see the effects of glaciers across the continent – the Great Lakes and most of Minnesota’s and Wisconsin’s lakes were carved out by glaciers and filled up with melting water. • During the 17th and 18th centuries, the world moved into the Age of Enlightenment, a cultural movement promoted by the intellectuals of that time, such as Isaac Newton and Voltaire. They attempted to lead the world away from superstition, irrationality, and tyranny and toward knowledge through science and reason. It was based on faith in nature and belief in human progress, with hostility toward organized religion and monarchy. The “enlightened” believed that people were naturally good and would work to further the happiness of others.

IT’S BEEN AGES! (continued): • The period between 1750 and 1850 was the Industrial Age, when dramatic advances in manufacturing, transportation, and technology produced powerful changes in the economy and culture. The introduction of steam power and improvements in mining created huge advancements. Manufacturing machines allowed mass production of goods. • The 1920s, commonly called the Roaring Twenties, was a time of economic prosperity and rapid industrial growth. Drastic social changes came along, including the growth of jazz music, which was so popular that the decade became known as the Jazz Age. The sounds of Louis Armstrong, Fats Waller, and Benny Goodman dominated popular music. It was a time of breaking with tradition and turning toward modern technology. Young people took joy in shocking the older generation – women bobbed their hair and wore short skirts with silk stocking, taking on the nickname “Flappers.” The Jazz Age came tumbling down on October 29, 1929, with the crash of the stock market, ushering in the Great Depression. • We entered the Atomic Age when the first atomic bomb was detonated over Japan in 1945. The phrase Atomic Age was invented by a New York Times journalist named William Laurence, who was the official journalist for the U.S. Manhattan Project, which developed the first nuclear weapons. After witnessing the Japan bombings, he wrote a series of articles supporting the advantages of the new weapon. • Today we are part of the Information (or Digital) Age, characterized by our increases in technology and how we receive our information. We are also in the Social Age, which places more emphasis on people’s needs through various social networks.

FAMOUS WOMEN OF THE WORLD:

MARIE CURIE

Often referred to as the “Mother of Modern Physics,” Marie Curie was the first famous woman scientist in the modern world. Here’s your opportunity to learn more about the woman who made many significant contributions to the research of radioactivity.

• Born in Poland in 1867 to a physics teacher father and an educator mother, Marie enrolled at the Sorbonne in Paris for her higher education. She graduated first in the class of physics and in second place in mathematics, and immediately began work as a researcher. • Alongside her fellow researcher husband, Pierre Curie, the pair studied the elements and radioactivity. Marie was the first to discover radioactivity in an element, thorium. She and Pierre went on to discover two new elements, polonium (which she named for her native Poland) and radium. As a result of her 1903 dissertation on radium, she was awarded a doctorate in science, the first ever for a woman in all of Europe. The Curies received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1903 for their work, and Marie became the first woman to be awarded this prestigious prize. Their prize winnings were poured back into their research. • The year 1904 was an eventful one for Marie – she was awarded a professorship at the Sorbonne, established the use of radiation therapy for cancer, and gave birth to her second child. Just two years later, Pierre was run over by a horse-drawn carriage in Paris and died, leaving Marie a widow at age 37 with two young daughters to raise alone. Shortly afterward, she was awarded Pierre’s department chair position at the Sorbonne, becoming the first woman ever to hold a chair there, and the first woman to teach at the Sorbonne. Although she was offered a national pension following Pierre’s death, she declined it.

MARIE CURIE (continued): • Marie’s second Nobel Prize came along in 1911, this time in the field of Chemistry, for her isolation of pure radium. This set her apart as the only woman to win the Nobel Prize in two different fields up to that date. This time, Marie donated her prize money toward equipping World War I ambulances with portable X-ray machines, as well as establishing 200 permanent X-ray stations in France and Belgium. • The laboratories of the Radium Institute at the University of Paris opened in 1914, and the Curie Foundation was established in 1920 to work toward applying radium in medical procedures. Marie’s daughter Irene joined her mother in her research at the Institute.

• It was British author Oscar Wilde who made the following sage observation: “Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go.” • Those who study such things say that if you drink 100 cups of coffee in a row, it’s likely to kill you. • You might have heard that George Washington’s dentures were made of wood, but in fact, they were made of hippopotamus ivory. • In 1900, a prairie dog colony was found in Texas. That’s not surprising -- prairie dogs are fairly common out West -- but this colony was unique. Researchers say it was the largest colony ever discovered, providing a home to 400 million prairie dogs and stretching over 25,000 square miles. • If you’ve read “Alice in Wonderland” or seen any of the numerous adaptations of it, you probably know about the Mad Hatter. But did you ever wonder why he was mad? It seems that haberdashers (those who

make hats) at one time used mercury to cure the felt they needed for the hats. Longterm exposure to mercury causes madness, hence the phrase “mad as a hatter.” • Martin Van Buren was the first president to be born a citizen of the United States. • To earn a world record, a woman named Sonya Thomas ate 65 hard-boiled eggs in 6 minutes, 40 seconds. • The female long-tailed shrew gives birth to exactly one litter of pups in her lifetime -- and promptly dies. • Our modern word “salary” comes from the Latin “salarium,” or “salt money.” Salarium was the monthly wages given to Roman soldiers in ancient times -- paid in salt. * * * Thought for the Day: “Politicians and diapers have one thing in common. They should both be changed regularly, and for the same reason.” -- Jose Maria de Eça de Queiroz © 2013 King Features Synd., Inc.

• Marie Curie certainly passed on her brilliance to the next generation. In 1934, her daughter Irene and her husband discovered artificial radioactivity, an accomplishment for which they received a Nobel Prize in 1935. Unfortunately, Marie did not live to see her daughter’s award. Seemingly unaware of the effects of radioactivity on human health during all her years of research, Marie contracted leukemia, most likely due to her prolonged exposure. She died a few months after Irene’s discovery. Sadly, Irene developed leukemia as well and died from the effects of radiation exposure. The Curies’ notebooks recording their research remain so radioactive today that they still cannot be handled without protection, and are stored in lead-lined boxes. • The name Curie is a household word among scientists, as it is used as the name of the unit of measure for radioactivity.

After Hurricane Katrina, he was reported missing from his home in the Lower Ninth Ward, but luckily had been rescued early in the storm. • On March 3, 1952, in a 6-3 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court upholds a New York state statute (the Feinberg Law) that prohibits communists from teaching in public schools. The law remained in force until another Supreme Court decision in 1967 declared most of its provisions unconstitutional. • On Feb. 25, 1964, 22-year-old Cassius Clay dethrones heavyweight boxing champ Sonny Liston in a seventh-round technical knockout. Clay had predicted he would “float like a butterfly, sting like a bee” to defeat Liston, the 8-1 favorite. • On Feb. 28, 1983, the celebrated sitcom “M*A*S*H” bows out after 11 seasons. Its title came from the initials for the “Mobile Army Surgical Hospital,” an isolated forward compound that received wounded soldiers and was staffed by the show’s cast of doctors and nurses.

• The distinctive sound of the harmonica is achieved by blowing air into the instrument’s reed chambers. Each chamber has multiple reeds of varying sizes that vibrate when air is blown in or drawn out. Longer reeds will produce deep lower sounds, while the short reeds make higher pitches. The harmonica was developed in Europe in the early 1800s. • The prestigious Harvard University is America’s oldest institution of higher learning, established in 1636. It takes its name from an English clergyman, John Harvard, who was the first significant benefactor of the college, bequeathing his 400-volume library and half of his estate upon his death in 1638. The library’s humble beginnings have grown to the largest academic library in the United States. Eight U.S. presidents have graduated from Harvard, as well as 62 living billionaires. If you’re planning to attend this year, plan on handing over close to $55,000 for the tuition and related fees. • What are you eating if you’re dining on haricot vert? Green beans!

This nimble clown has been performing his acrobatics and occasional magic tricks since the 11th century.
