Grey (via dictionary.com)
of a neutral tone, intermediate between black and white…dismal or dark, gloomy…neutral or dull.
All ways I would also describe the month of January. Without the Christmas lights and decorations everything starts to look a little gloomy… however grey does not have to be dull! Grey is an all-flattering colour as it comes in so many shades and is less stark on the skintone than jet black! It's an effortlessly chic colour appropriate for day and night and especially for the working girl. It can be worked as shown above in a number of different ways from office wear e.g. the Zara overcoat or long pleated skirt, for the pretty/boho in the ASOS grey sheer pleated dress or the rock chic in the horse print mini-dress paired with a leather jacket and heels. It's such an accessible shade and can be accented with colour. Turquoise blues and coral pinks work particularly well for a pop of colour!
Don't know where to start adding grey to your closet? You can't go wrong with a grey cashmere jumper! Effortless and easy.

I know how hard it is to believe that we're strong, especially when things are getting all messed up in our lives. I remember when I was in school I didn't use to think that I was strong at all…actually, until very recently I saw myself as week and worthless. To be honest, it took me quite a while to get to the point where I am today.
I don't want anyone to ever feel that way!
You are exceptionally strong, even if you don't believe it right now. You're the strongest person you know, you just need to believe in yourself! You're amazing and have a lion inside of you, just like the picture!
Have a great (and strong) week everyone!

A breakfast of eggs can be eaten any time of day. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has whipped up a delicate omelet with mushrooms and cheese for dinner, topped off with toast and a light salad.
And if you're having company, especially for brunch, eggs can come to the rescue in the form of frittatas or stratas, which make elegant, satisfying meals.
You can find plenty of recipes for these breakfast casseroles on today's Busy Cook in the Poughkeepsie Journal. Stratas are the perfect breakfast food for overnight guests. You can assemble the casserole the night before, using stale bread or one of those ubiquitous panettones you received as a Christmas present. (We call it the Panettone Exchange in my family; everyone seems to give and receive at least one!)
The following recipe from Associated Press food editor J.M. Hirsch fits right on the breakfast bill. Even more intriguing than simple poached eggs is the scoop of ricotta and bed of arugula upon which they rest. (See the recipe in the second post on this page for homemade ricotta, which is easy to make and would work famously with this recipe.)
This elegant egg dish can be bolstered even more with leftover vegetables tossed in with the arugula and a hefty piece of bruschetta on the side – a great way to kick off the new year!
Poached Eggs over Ricotta on Arugula
Start to finish: 20 minutes
Servings: 4
- 4 cups arugula
- 2 cups ricotta cheese
- Zest of 1 lemon
- Kosher salt and ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon white or cider vinegar
- 4 large eggs
- Truffle oil
- Minced fresh chives
- 4 thick slices multigrain bread, toasted and buttered
- Divide the arugula between 4 serving bowls.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the ricotta and lemon zest. Season with salt and black pepper. Divide between the serving bowls, spooning it over the arugula. Set aside.
- Bring a large saucepan of water to a low simmer. Add the vinegar.
- Crack each egg into a small glass. One at a time, gently and slowly pour each egg into the simmering water, bringing the lip of the glass right down to the water so that the egg slides in. Depending on the size of your pan, you may need to cook them in 2 batches.
- Cook for 4 minutes, then use a slotted spoon to lift each egg out (letting excess water drip away). Nestle one egg into the ricotta in each serving bowl.
- Season the eggs with salt and pepper, then drizzle with truffle oil and sprinkle with chives. Serve immediately with the toast.

Words that inspire
At the recent Cassville High School Academic Awards Banquet, the crowd was wowed by a speech given by Cassville _ grade teacher Sue Cavness who was named 2004-05 Teacher of the Year. If Sue ever decides to retire from teaching (which we hope she never does), she could be very successful as a motivational speaker. My oldest son, Nick, was lucky enough to have Mrs. Cavness as his first teacher. It was a great year and I remember being awed by Sue's energy, enthusiasm and attitude of excellence.
Sue is a fan of the popular "Survivor" reality series, as I am, and very creatively utilized the "Survivor" theme in her speech that managed to capture the attention of a room of teenagers. After the banquet ended, I asked Sue if I could have a copy of a portion of her speech that listed her Top 10 Survivor Life Lessons. I didn't know how or when I would use her list, but I just knew it was good enough to pass along to our readers at some point.
This week is one of those times when I'm not feeling very opinionated, so instead, I'll offer you some inspiration courtesy of Sue Cavness, one of the Cassville R-IV District's finest. She is great example of the type of dedicated, creative and inspirational teachers we are blessed with here in Cassville and throughout Barry County.
"Top 10 Survivor Life Lessons"
10. Remain drug free. Research has proven that drugs and alcohol will lead you down the path of destruction. A clean mind is a healthy mind.
9. Be true to yourself. Stand up tall and proud for what you believe in.
8. The world is enormous. Open a book and go see it.
7. Realize that life isn't always fair. Deal with it and hold no grudges.
6. Life is about choices. Every choice has a consequence. Some good. Some not so good.
5. Value friendships. And be a good friend.
4. Be compassionate. Follow the Golden Rule. I know you all have heard it. "Treat others as you would like to be treated."
3. Persevere. When the going gets tough, the tough get going. Never quit.
2. Be grateful to your family. For they will always love you no matter what.
1. Trust God. HE has a plan for you.

Why I give...
I give because I want to give back for all that Corvian has given us.
Our daughter has attended Corvian for the last 4 years. And as each year passes, we are more amazed by her quest for knowledge and willingness to learn, her compassion towards her classmates and the world in general and the imagination for what her future holds for her. All of these traits are guided by the environment she is exposed to in school each day including her amazing teachers and staff with engaging attitudes and curriculum, wonderful friends, service and character building activities and the overall culture of caring and involvement.
Our daughter is in the oldest grade in the school. So we are the chartering the way for future classes. We give because we want to ensure that the same positive experiences that we have had, and will continue to have, will pave the way for future generations. We give because we want to make sure that Corvian's most valuable resources, our teachers, are adequately recognized for their dedication and hard work for our children and to the school. We give because we believe in the core values and support of Corvian and want to see it continue to grow and succeed in the years to come. We give back for all that Corvian has given our daughter.
- Bobby and Kara Burleson – parents to Megan
Corvian impacts everyone differently. What's your story?
I give because Corvian reflects the life lessons that we stress at home, building character and confidence.
I've always loved golf, so it was easy for my grandsons to get me to participate in their school's annual golf outing! After spending the day there -WOW- was I impressed by such great people -from the teachers and administration to the parents and volunteers - everyone associated with Corvian! After the outing, I was equally impressed to hear the director tell us that the school is debt free! How can you not get excited about that and level of enthusiasm you see at Corvian? You can feel it as soon as you walk into the school! Since then, I have given directly to the Corvian fund to further support my grandsons and their classmates. We need a lot more of what is offered at Corvian in our school systems!
-Bill Corder, Jared and Brayden Barciszewski's Grandpa
I give because Corvian is more than a school, it is a home.
Corvian is more than a school, it is a home for my boys. Within its walls, all developmental aspects of my children are nurtured. Through Corvian's focus on character, compassion, and serving the community, our boys are learning how to become responsible and caring citizens.
Corvian has created a safe learning environment where our boys are valued and their love for learning grows. Hands-on learning fills their days and authentic experiences fill their hearts. Their teachers are free to instruct in ways that they learn best, not how someone else thinks every child should be able to learn. Our family is thankful for each day our boys have the privilege to learn, share, and grow in this exemplary community.
"Childhood is a journey, not a race."
- Jenn and Carlos Rosalino, parents to Alex and Chris
I give because his school experience has given us hope for his future.
Our son has made huge strides since coming to Corvian! After our first year, he truly became a different little boy. His attitude and desire to go to school improved, and he found that he enjoyed learning in the environment that Corvian offered. His school experience has given us hope for his future! Through my volunteer time at the school, I have had the privilege of seeing first hand the love and encouragement that the teachers provide to our children. Our family is proud and blessed to be part of the Corvian Family!
Over the past several years, we have given to Corvian because we truly believe that the money we donate is providing a wonderful learning environment for our child. It has never been a question whether or not we should give...we know we are getting so much in return. The proof comes everyday that our son comes home with a smile on his face and loving school!
- Suzette and Stephen Gerhardt, parents to Cameron
I give because i
ndividually, each gift may not seem large enough to make a difference, but when that small gift is added to the whole, it is huge!
Our family gives because Corvian gives us so much. My girls are thriving with excellent, caring teachers in a small, safe environment. The creative curriculum, emphasizing the whole child and integrating all subject areas, makes learning meaningful and fun. We have been at multiple schools before coming to Corvian and while no school is perfect, Corvian comes pretty close! We want to give back, even if it is in a small amount, to help Corvian grow and better serve everyone. Individually, each gift may not seem large enough to make a difference, but when that small gift is added to the whole, it is huge! By giving, we feel fully integrated into the Corvian community. We don't have large sums to give all at once, but a simple monthly recurring donation via Paypal really adds up in the end. If you do not have a lot extra to give all at once, think about a small recurring monthly donation. Each individual family participating makes our school community stronger, no matter how big or small. We are all so thankful for this school!
I give because our boys are confident, excited to learn,
and they love school!
Corvian has been very special to us since our oldest son, Asher, started kindergarten. We were one of the first families when Corvian received its charter status. We truly feel like this school was created specifically with our boys in mind. Movement breaks, transition time with music, hands-on learning, etc. Surely, many parents can relate. Over the past four years, both of our boys have grown so much. They are confident, excited to learn and they love school!
While there are so many places asking for donations, we believe Corvian is the BEST place to invest our resources for our children's future. We are extremely grateful for our school!!
- Darin and Johnna Watson, parents to Asher & Brock
We give to Corvian because they give so much back!
Our two girls love going to school everyday. We are so thrilled to see them excelling in school and growing to be respectful, caring and well rounded children. We know that they will not just be taught to pass a test but about life experiences and compassion. It is exciting to see that our values and morals are being carried on during the school day. As our girls say, we "won the lottery". and we feel it is so important to support the school in anyway we can. We know that every little bit helps in making Corvian successful and assures the best education that we could ever want for our girls. Keep up the great work!!
- Lisa and Dan Durant, parents of Charlotte and Jillian
I give because I believe in the caring community of Corvian Community School for my daughter and all of the children we serve.
I give because my daughter is my world. My family and I joined Corvian as a private school and have stayed through the years because my daughter has grown socially, emotionally, and academically through the dedicated attention of administration and staff.
My daughter has grown from a shy, kindergartner to a mature and confident fourth grader. Her caring and supportive fourth grade teachers have helped bring out the gifts my daughter possesses helping her to move forward and succeed in this grade and beyond.
We have seen first-hand the benefit of The Basic School. I believe so much in this model that I dedicate my time and efforts to giving the same experiences to all children at Corvian. I give because I believe in the caring community of Corvian Community School for my daughter and all of the children we serve.

Gonorrhea is a serious bacterial infection that may be passed from one partner to the other during sexual contact. Sexual contact includes oral, anal and genital sex. The infection may pass from mother to baby during pregnancy, so testing for gonorrhea is typically part of the normal screening process during prenatal care. If a woman is in a monogamous relationship, she can choose not to be tested for gonorrhea, but the test is non-invasive and protects the mother and fetus if the infection is detected early.
How is a Pregnancy Affected by Gonorrhea?
If a woman is infected with gonorrhea during pregnancy, the infection may pass to the fetus. Pregnant women with gonorrhea may suffer early miscarriage, premature delivery and early rupture of membranes. During delivery, gonorrhea can pass to the fetus via contact with the birth canal. Infants infected with gonorrhea typically suffer eye infections that may lead to blindness if gonorrhea is not treated.
How is Gonorrhea Treated in Pregnancy?
If you test positive for gonorrhea during pregnancy you will be placed on an antibiotic. Antibiotics can cure gonorrhea well, though so called 'drug-resistant strains' of gonorrhea are increasing in the United States and many areas of the world. Often, your partner will also be treated for the infection as gonorrhea has a high rate of infection during sexual contact. Women with gonorrhea also have chlamydia in about 40-percent of cases, so the test for gonorrhea is often paired with the test for chlamydia. That is why the Centers for Diseases Control now recommends treating gonorrhea with two drugs (dual therapy). Antibiotics used to treat pregnant women with gonorrhea are considered safe for use during pregnancy with a relatively low risk of side effects.
What are the Symptoms of Gonorrhea?
In women the symptoms of gonorrhea infection are usually mild but most women don't usually present with symptoms of gonorrhea, which makes prenatal testing even more important. Males with gonorrhea infection often suffer from symptoms like a burning sensation when urinating and having white, yellow, or green discharge from the penis. Sometimes, men have swollen and painful testicles. If your partner is experiencing any of these symptoms at any time during your pregnancy, it is best to request testing as the condition can be passed between partners at any time.
Both partners need to be treated for gonorrhea before resuming sexual intercourse. If only the pregnant woman is treated for the condition, she can be re-infected by her partner. Once treatment is complete for both partners, another test may be requested to ensure all signs of the infection are gone. Your obstetrician will give you the green light for sexual contact after treatment is complete and the gonorrhea infection is cured.
Gonorrhea is a dangerous bacterial infection that is treatable. It is completely natural to be concerned about your prenatal test results for chlamydia and gonorrhea, but the infection is curable with proper treatment. Curing gonorrhea is the only means of ensuring your infant is not affected by the infection.

The Oldowan, often spelled Olduwan or Oldawan, is the archaeological term used to refer to the earliest stone tool industry in prehistory, being used during the Lower Paleolithic period, 2.6 million years ago up until 1.7 million years ago, by Hominines. It was followed by the more sophisticated Acheulean industry.
The term "Oldowan" is taken from the site of Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania, where the first Oldowan tools were discovered by the archaeologist Louis Leakey in the 1930s. However, some contemporary archaeologists and palaeoanthropologists prefer to use the term "Mode One" tools to designate Oldowan tools, with "Mode Two" designating Acheulean ones and so forth.
It is not known for sure which hominin species actually created and used Oldowan tools. Its emergence is often associated with the species Australopithecus garhi, and its flourishing with early species of Homo such as H. habilis and H. ergaster. Early Homo erectus appears to inherit Oldowan technology and refines it into the Acheulean industry beginning 1.7 million years ago.[1] Oldowan tools are sometimes called "pebble tools," so named because the blanks chosen for their production already resemble, in pebble form, the final product.[2] Oldowan tools are sometimes subdivided into types, such as chopper, scrapers and pounders, as these appear to have been their main uses.[3]

Dates and ranges[edit]
The oldest currently known Oldowan tools have been found in Gona, Ethiopia. These are dated to about 2.6 mya.[4] New discoveries may push that date further back in time.
These tools should not be regarded as evidence of the first use of tools. The use of tools in apes, like chimpanzees[5] and orangutans[6] can be used to argue in favour of tool-use as an ancestral feature of the hominin family. Tools were therefore in all probability used before the Oldowan.[7] Oldowan stone tools are simply the oldest recognisable tools which have been preserved in the archaeological record, presumably manufactured by species in the hominin family.
There is a flourishing of Oldowan tools in East Africa, spreading to South Africa, between 2.4 and 1.7 mya. At 1.7 mya., the first Acheulean appears. However, Oldowan assemblages continue to be produced. The two techniques were also used in the same areas. This realisation required a rethinking of old cultural sequences in which the more "advanced" Acheulean was supposed to have succeeded the Oldowan. A number of different interpretations of this fact have been proposed. It is thought that the different traditions may have been used by different species of hominins. On the other hand, it could be that both techniques were used by the same species in response to different circumstances.
Sometime before 1.8 mya. Homo erectus had spread outside of Africa. It has been found as far east as Java by 1.8 mya.[8] and in Northern China by 1.66 mya.[9] In these newly colonised areas, no Acheulean assemblages have been found. In China, only 'Mode 1" assemblages were produced, while in Indonesia stone tools from this age are unknown.
By 1.8 mya early man was present in Europe, as shown by the discovery of skulls and Oldowan tools from that time in Dmanisi, Georgia.[10] Remains of their activities have also been excavated in Spain at sites in the Guadix-Baza basin[11] and near Atapuerca.[12] Most early European sites yield "mode 1" or Oldowan assemblages. The earliest Acheulean sites in Europe only appear around 0.5 mya. In addition, the Acheulean tradition does not seem to spread to Eastern Asia.[13] When the use of the technology stopped is unclear. Discounting modern reproductions it is probably safe to say it was mostly replaced by other toolmaking traditions by 0.25 mya.
Sites and archaeologists[edit]
A complete catalog of Oldowan tool sites would be too extensive for listing here. Hominid populations were sparse at any given time, but the span of time over which these species lived is immense.
The tools are found in many habitable sites: terraces or banks of rivers and lakes or pools, caves, or just lying around in large quantities on open ground.
Some of the better-known sites are as follows.
Along the Nile River, within the 100 foot terrace, evidence of Chellean or Oldowan cultures has been found.[14]
Afar Triangle[edit]
Sites in the Gona river system in the Hadar region of the Afar triangle, excavated by Helene Roche, J. W. Harris and Sileshi Semaw, yielded some of the oldest known Oldowan assemblages, dating to about 2.6 million years ago. Recent excavations have yielded tools in association with cut-marked bones, indicating that Oldowan were used in meat-processing or -acquiring activities.
Omo River basin[edit]
The second oldest known Oldowan tool site comes from the Shungura formation of the Omo River basin. This formation documents the sediments of the Plio-Pleistocene and provides a record of the hominins that lived there. Oldowan begins in levels E and F at 2.4–2.3 million years ago.
The tools are never found in direct association with the hominins, but archaeologists believe that they would be the strongest candidates for tool manufacture. There are no hominins in those layers, but the same layers elsewhere in the Omo valley contain Paranthropus and early Homo fossils. Paranthropus occurs in the preceding layers. In the last layer at 1.4 million years ago is only Homo erectus.
East Turkana[edit]
The numerous Koobi Fora sites on the east side of Lake Turkana are now part of Sibiloi National Park. Many scientists of various disciplines have participated in research there, but the initial sites were excavated by Richard Leakey and his wife, Meave, Jack Harris, Glynn Isaac and a few others. Currently the artifacts are classified as Oldowan or KBS Oldowan, dated from 1.9–1.7 mya, Karari (or advanced Oldowan), dated to 1.6–1.4 mya, and some early Acheulean at the end of the Karari. Over 200 hominins have been found, including Australopithecus and Homo.
Olduvai Gorge[edit]
The Oldowan industry is named after discoveries made in the Olduvai Gorge of Tanzania in east Africa by the Leakey family, primarily Mary Leakey, but also her husband Louis and their son, Richard. Similar tools had already been found in various locations in Europe and Asia for some time, where they were called Chellean and Abbevillian.
The oldest tool sites are in the East African Rift system, on the sediments of ancient streams and lakes. This is consistent with what we surmise of the evolution of man. Genetic studies tell us that the human line possibly diverged from the chimpanzee line, and the native territory of the latter is the forests of Central Africa nearby. Fossil chimpanzees have been found in Kenya.
The forests of central and west Africa are a stable environment containing food in abundance for animals such as chimpanzees, and any species living in such an environment would have been under little pressure to evolve further. East Africa is a land of often harsh and unstable environments, and resources are correspondingly scarcer and more difficult to get. Species living in the latter environment would be under greater pressure to evolve and change as needed to survive. A facility for tool-using would contribute to the species chances of survival.
Even though Olduvai Gorge is the type site, Oldowan tools from here are not the oldest known examples. They occur in Beds I–IV. Bed I, dated 1.85 mya to 1.7 mya, contains Oldowan and fossils of Paranthropus boisei as well as Homo habilis, as does Bed II, 1.7–1.2 mya. H. habilis gives way to Homo erectus at about 1.6 mya but P. boisei goes on. Oldowan continues to Bed IV at 800,000 to 600,000 before present (BP).
South Africa[edit]
Henri Breuil was the first recognized archaeologist to go on record to assert the existence of Olduwan tools. While his description was for "Chello-Abbevillean" tools, and post-dated Leakey's finds at Olduvai Gorge by at least ten years, his descriptions nonetheless represented the scholarly acceptance of this technology as legitimate. These findings were cited as being from the location of the Vaal River, at Vereeniging, and Abbé Breuil noted the distinct absence of a significant number of cores, suggesting a "portable culture". At the time, this was considered very significant, as portability supported the conclusion that the Olduwan toolmakers were capable of planning for future needs, by creating the tools in a location which was distant from their use.[15]
The Swartkrans site is a cave filled with layered fossil-bearing limestone deposits. Oldowan is found in Members (layers) I–III, 1.8–.5 mya, in association with Paranthropus robustus and Homo habilis. The Member I assemblage also includes a shaft of pointed bone polished at the pointed end.
Member I contained a high percentage of primate remains compared to other animal remains, which did not fit the hypothesis that H. habilis or P. robustus lived in the cave. C. K. Brain conducted a more detailed study and discovered the cave had been the abode of leopards, who preyed on the hominins.[16]
Another site of limestone caves is Sterkfontein, not far from Swartkrans. Member (layer) 5 there, dating from 2 mya to 1.5 mya, contains fossils of Homo habilis as well as Oldowan tools.

Humans have been living in Georgia for an extremely long time, as attested by the discoveries, in 1999 and 2002, of two Homo erectus skulls (H. georgicus) at Dmanisi in southern Georgia. The archaeological layer in which the human remains, hundreds of Oldowan stone tools and numerous animal bones were unearthed is dated approximately 1.6-1.8 million years ago (since the underlying basalt lava bed yielded an age of approximately 1.8 million years). The site yields the earliest unequivocal evidence for presence of early humans outside the African continent.[19]
At Kozarnika, in the ground layers, dated to 1,4-1,6 millions BP archaeologists have discovered a human molar tooth, lower palaeolithic assemblages that belong to a core-and-flake non-Acheulian industry and incised bones that may be the earliest example of human symbolic behaviour.[citation needed]
Ainikab-1 and Muhkay-2 (North Caucasus, Daghestan) are the extraordinary sites in relation to date and the culture. Geological and geomorphological data, palynological studies and paleomagnetic testing unequivocally point to Early Pleistocene (Eopleistocene), indicating the age of the sites as being within the range of 1.8 – 1.2 mln years ago.[20][21]
Oldowan tools have been found at the following sites:
- Fuente Nueva 3
- Barranco del Leon
- Sima del Elefante
- Atapuerca TD 6
Oldowan tools have been found at:
- Abbeville, 1–.5 mya.
- Vallonet cave, French Riviera
- Soleihac, open-air site in Massif Central
Oldowan tools have also been found at Tautavel in the foothills of the Pyrenees. These were discovered by Henry de Lumbley alongside human remains (cranium). The tools are of limestone and quartz.
Oldowan tools have been found at the Monte Poggiolo open air site discovered by Antoniazzi dated to around 850,000 years before the present, making them the oldest evidence of human habitation in Italy.
United Kingdom[edit]
At the Swanscombe, Clacton on Sea open air site on the Thames discovered by Wymer and Wymer, Clactonian tools have been found (c. 400,000 years ago).
Tools have been found in river gravels at Kärlich dating from .3 mya.

Tools have been found in ancient lake deposits at Przeletice and a cave site at Stranska Skala, dated no later than .5 mya.
Tools have been found at a spring site at Vértesszőlős dating from .5 mya.
The tools[edit]
Manufacture of the tools[edit]
To obtain an Oldowan tool, a roughly spherical hammerstone is struck on the edge, or striking platform, of a suitable core rock to produce a conchoidal fracture with sharp edges useful for various purposes. The process is often called lithic reduction. The chip removed by the blow is the flake. Below the point of impact on the core is a characteristic bulb with fine fissures on the fracture surface. The flake evidences ripple marks.
The materials of the tools were for the most part quartz, quartzite, basalt, or obsidian, and later flint and chert. Any rock that can hold an edge will do. The main source of these rocks is river cobbles, which provide both hammer stones and striking platforms. The earliest tools were simply split cobbles. It is not always clear which is the flake. Later tool-makers clearly identified and reworked flakes. Complaints that artifacts could not be distinguished from naturally fractured stone helped spark a careful study of the technique. It has been duplicated many times by moderns, making misidentification less likely. Unfortunately, clandestine studies had already been undertaken by persons intent on fraud, such as the British swindler, Edward Simpson, or "Flint Jack."
Use of the point is also known from Swartkrans, as a bone shaft with a polished point was discovered there in Member (layer) I, dated 1.8–1.5 mya. The Osteodontokeratic industry hypothesized by Raymond Dart is less certain.
The tools are often referred to as "crude", although this is naturally somewhat subjective. The words "simple" or "complex" can be used with more objectivity, as there is a gradual but clear tendency toward increasing complexity. At the end of the Stone Age, the stone tools were of a high enough quality that they were imitated in metal.
Shapes and uses of the tools[edit]
Mary Leakey classified the Oldowan tools as Heavy Duty, Light Duty, Utilized Pieces and Debitage, or waste.[22] Heavy-duty tools are mainly cores. A chopper has an edge on one side. It is unifacial if the edge was created by flaking on one face of the core, or bifacial if on two. Discoid tools are roughly circular with a peripheral edge. Polyhedral tools are edged in the shape of a polyhedron. In addition there are spheroidal hammer stones.
Light-duty tools are mainly flakes. There are scrapers, awls (with points for boring) and burins (with points for engraving). Some of these functions belong also to heavy-duty tools. For example, there are heavy-duty scrapers.
Utilized pieces are tools that began with one purpose in mind but were utilized opportunistically.
Oldowan tools were probably used for many purposes, which have been discovered from observation of modern apes and hunter-gatherers. Nuts and bones are cracked by hitting them with hammer stones on a stone used as an anvil. Battered and pitted stones testify to this possible use.
Heavy-duty tools could be used for woodworking, in the function of an axe. Both choppers and large flakes were probably used for this purpose. Once a branch was separated, it could be scraped clean with a scraper, or hollowed with the pointed tools. Such uses are attested by characteristic microscopic alterations of edges used to scrape wood.
If stone tools were valuable for working wood, they were invaluable for preparing hide. The hide must be cut by slicing, piercing and scraping it clean of residues. Hides could be used for clothing, shelters or containers. The rest of the animal also had to be butchered, for ease of consuming, and probably convenience in carrying and perhaps distributing the meat. Flakes are most suitable for this purpose.
In addition, pointed bones or sticks were probably used for digging for roots and tubers. Wood branches were probably used for missiles and clubs. Branches were woven into shelters or sleeping nests.
Hypotheses on Oldowan tool use have gone past the point of mere guesswork. Lawrence Keeley, following in the footsteps of Sergei Semenov, conducted microscopic studies (with a high-powered optical microscope) on the edges of tools manufactured de novo and used for the originally speculative purposes described above. He found that the marks were characteristic of the use and matched marks on prehistoric tools. Studies of the cut marks on bones using an electron microscope produce a similar result.

Abbevillian is a currently obsolescent name for a tool tradition that is increasingly coming to be called Oldowan. The label Abbevillian prevailed until the Leakey family discovered older (yet similar) artifacts at Olduvai Gorge (a.k.a. Oldupai Gorge) and promoted the African origin of man. Olduwan (or Oldowan) soon replaced Abbevillian in describing African and Asian paleoliths. The term Abbevillian is still used, but it is now restricted to Europe. The label, however, continues to lose popularity as a scientific designation.
In the late 20th century, discovery of the discrepancies in date caused a crisis of definition. If Abbevillian did not necessarily precede Acheulian and both traditions had flakes and bifaces, how was the difference to be defined? It was in this spirit that many artifacts formerly considered Abbevillian were labeled Acheulian. In consideration of the difficulty, some preferred to name both phases Acheulian. When the topic of Abbevillian came up, it was simply put down as a phase of Acheulian. Whatever was from Africa was Oldowan, and whatever from Europe, Acheulian.
The solution to the definition problem is stated in the article on Acheulian. The difference is to be defined in terms of complexity. Simply struck tools are Oldowan. Retouched, or reworked tools are Acheulian. Retouching is a second working of the artifact. The manufacturer first creates an Oldowan tool. Then he reworks or retouches the edges by removing very small chips so as to straighten and sharpen the edge. Typically but not necessarily the reworking is accomplished by pressure flaking.
The pictures in the introduction to this article are mainly labeled Acheulian, but this is the now false Acheulian, which also includes Abbevillian. The artifacts shown are clearly in the Oldowan tradition. One or two of the more complex bifaces may have edges made straighter by a large percussion or two, but there is no sign of pressure flaking as depicted. The pictures included with this subsection show the difference.
The tool users[edit]
|This section needs additional citations for verification. (January 2010)
Current anthropological thinking is that Oldowan tools were made by late Australopithecus and early Homo. Homo habilis was named "skillful" because it was considered the earliest tool-using human ancestor. Indeed, the genus Homo was in origin intended to separate tool-using species from their tool-less predecessors, hence the name of Australopithecus garhi, garhi meaning "surprise", a tool-using Australopithecine discovered in 1996 and described as the "missing link" between the Australopithecus and Homo genera. There is also evidence that some species of Paranthropus utilized the tools associated with this culture.[23]
There is presently no evidence to show that Oldowan tools were the sole property of the Homo line or that the ability to produce them was the special characteristic of only our ancestors.
The makers of Oldowan tools were mainly right-handed.[citation needed] "Handedness" (lateralization) had thus already evolved, though it is not clear how related to modern lateralization it was, since other animals show handedness as well.
In the early 1970s, Glynn Isaac touched off a debate by proposing that hominids of this period had a "place of origin" and that they foraged outward from this, returning with high quality food to share and to be processed. Over the course of the last 30 years, a variety of competing theories about how foraging occurred have been proposed, each one implying certain kinds of social strategies. The available evidence from the distribution of tools and remains is not enough to decide which theories are the most probable. However, three main groups of theories predominate.
- Glynn Isaac's model became the [Central Forage Point]- as he responded to critics that accused him of attributing too much 'modern' behavior to early Hominins with relatively free-form searches outward.
- A second group of models took modern chimpanzee behavior as a starting point, having the hominids use relatively fixed routes of foraging, and leaving tools where it was best to do so on a constant track.
- A third group of theories had relatively loose bands scouring the range, taking care to move carcasses from dangerous death sites and leaving tools more or less at random.
Each group of models implies different grouping and social strategies, from the relative altruism of central base models to the relatively disjointed search models. (See also central foraging theory, scavenging station model, Lewis Binford)
Most models rely on social and communication networks to hold the band together. These social networks range from requiring no more communication than modern primates, to requiring more sophisticated sharing and teaching. At present, no evidence has been found that sharply divides these theories.
Hominins probably lived in social groups that had contact with others. This conclusion is supported by the large number of bones at many sites, too large to be the work of one individual, and all of the scatter patterns implying many different individuals. Since modern primates in Africa have fluid boundaries between groups, as individuals enter, become the focus of bands, and others leave, it is also probable that the tools we find are the result of many overlapping groups working the same territories, and perhaps competing over them. Because of the huge expanse of time and the multiplicity of species associated with possible Oldowan tools, it is difficult to be more precise than this, since it is almost certain that different social groupings were used at different times and in different places.
There is also the question of what mix of hunting, gathering and scavenging the tool users employed. Early models focused on the tool users as hunters. The animals butchered by the tools include waterbuck, hartebeest, Springbok, pig and zebra. However, the disposition of the bones allows some question about hominin methods of obtaining meat. That they were omnivores is unquestioned, as the digging implement and the probable use of hammer stones to smash nuts indicate. Lewis Binford first noticed that the bones at Olduvai contained a disproportionately high incidence of extremities, which are low in food substance. He concluded other predators had taken the best meat, and the hominins had only scavenged. The counter view is that while hunting many large animals would be beyond the reach of an individual human, groups could bring down larger game, as pack hunting animals are capable of doing. Moreover, since many animals both hunt and scavenge, it is possible that hominis hunted smaller animals, but were not above driving carnivores from larger kills, as they probably were driven from kills themselves from time to time.

1 cup dried cherries
1 cup shelled pistachios
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
2 sticks (16 tablespoons) salted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 container red, green and white sprinkles
- 1. Put the cherries, pistachios and brown sugar in a food processor and pulse until a fine crumb forms (take care not to over process or the filling will clump together). Set aside.
- 2. Put the butter and granulated sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and beat on medium-high until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs, baking powder and salt and beat for another minute. Lower the speed to medium and add the flour, 1/2 cup at a time; beat until smooth. Cover and place in the fridge to chill, about 1 hour.
- 3. Divide dough the in half and flatten each into squares. Put one portion of dough in between two 12-by-12-inch sheets of parchment paper dusted with flour. Roll out into a 1/8-inch-thick square. Remove the top parchment sheet and sprinkle half of the cherry-pistachio filling evenly across the dough. Pat into an even layer. Tightly roll into one large log (using the parchment to help you). Trim the ends and then roll the exterior in a mixture of sprinkles to coat. Repeat with the remaining dough, filling and sprinkles. Tightly cover in fresh parchment and refrigerate overnight (preferred) or at least 4 hours, until the dough is firm.
- 4. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment or a silicone baking mat.
- 5. Remove and uncover the dough logs and slice with a very sharp knife into 1/4-inch-thick pinwheels. Arrange about 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake until slightly golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Let the cookies cool on a wire rack. Store for up to 3 days in an airtight container, or freeze cookies for future use, up to 2 weeks.
- 6. Enjoy!

Roenni was a young girl who was a member of the Young. When Qui-Gon Jinn left the underground to meet with the Melida and Daan leaders, he asked Roenni to care about the injured Tahl.[1] When the Young–Elders War began, Roenni helped the Young to destroy the Elders' ship hangar, an event that convinced The Middle Generation to join the Young and eventually led to the Young victory. When Obi-Wan Kenobi was banished from the Young by Nield, Roenni was the only person who helped him.[2]
Hangar attackEdit
The major attack that caused the Middle Generation to join the Young was just a small group made up of Obi-Wan Kenobi, Cerasi, Nield and Roenni. Although Roenni was small, her father had been a technician, and Roenni had grown up around all types of equipment. She was especially good with fusioncutters. When Roenni had disabled the starfighters, the four jumped back down the grate they had come up and escaped at the last second, before Obi-Wan threw in a grenade and the entire hangar exploded.[2]
Personality and traitsEdit
Roenni was a quiet girl and a member of the Young, a group made up of the younger generation of people on Melida/Daan that wished to end the centuries-long conflict between the Melida and Daan.[1]

All type of various other illness that methadone use created are uncovered once beginning methadone withdrawal. I'll offer you some answers to assist today, and further services to manage the trouble to ending methadone reliance forever.
Methadone Use Is Epidemic
Addictions physicians and also discomfort administration clinics in Kansas are persistently prescribing methadone for opiate misuse as well as chronic discomfort, but exactly what are the consequences of methadone usage? I have actually provided many below. If you have actually already tried Methadone withdrawal as well as had problems, I have actually got some aid you wouldn't have actually discovered elsewhere.
Once it is time to begin methadone withdrawal, lots of people are having BIG issues ending their methadone usage. How does one withdraw from methadone in Paradise Kansas? What difficulties will they need to conquer?
Methadone Withdrawal Challenges
- Methadone use makes people unfeeling, numb
- Even stepping down from methadone can expose hyper sensitivity to discomfort and nutritional depletion symptoms — cramping, aches, nervousness, sleeplessness
- Methadone withdrawal is often 4 times longer and more difficult than heroin once the drug has been abused or used incorrectly for long periods of time
- Withdrawing from methadone can give pains and aches which people can mistake for stress and pain from past accidents
I'm creating for those having difficulty with methadone withdrawal. If you are experiencing no worry taking out from methadone, don't fret you're one of the fortunate ones.
The reality is that lots of dependencies physicians as well as discomfort management experts in Paradise are acting upon the referrals from their peers as well as consultants. They are not told of the fatalities due to recommended methadone usage nor the troubles that in some cases occur when withdrawing from methadone use.
The burden however lies with the consumer.
Vital: completely study medicines or medicines on your own before you purchase or take them. The results can be terrible. They also may have hazardous interactive impacts when taken with other medications.
Many otherwise every one of methadone impacts are triggered by dietary deficiencies. Methadone usage develops nutritional deficiency – specifically calcium and also magnesium deficiency. Another is B vitamin shortage. This is exactly how these deficiencies are manifested.

- Sleeplessness

- Cramping of legs and arms

A Negative Gut
Methadone and stress and anxiety medications have the tendency to ruin the digestive tract lining. A leaking digestive tract offers discomforts when consuming or allergic reactions, vulnerable to health issues and also skin problems. One more symptom of a leaky digestive tract is irritation and also a 'bad attitude'. The mindset can have physical causes overlooked by the individual.
A good idea to assisting the gut trouble is consuming lots of good quality yogurt with live probiotics in it, like acidophilus and also bifidus. One could additionally supplement with large amounts of glutathione – an antioxidant to help the detoxing procedure.
The quantity of nutrients required throughout methadone withdrawal is undervalued so usually that I drink my head in wonder.
Drugs Like Methadone Are Toxic substances
The issue with methadone is that it is poisonous to the body. Your body understands it, yet you may not. Taking methadone difficulties your body organs to detox the body and also secure the crucial organs prior to they are terribly damaged.
Contaminants offer the body a hard time. If you've seen drug addict with dark circles under their eyes, grey skin, negative skin, hair befalling, reduced energy, unusual conditions, etc. they're obtained nutritional deficiencies. Those shortages are hard to recoup from with food alone. Occasionally that food isn't really being correctly absorbed = bad digestive tract.

Methadone Detox
Purifying the body is greater than merely quiting drug use. Substance abuse produces inner body damages you might not promptly identify. Nevertheless, the body will try to detoxify right after drug use and recover itself using any kind of nutrients available. If the nutrients aren't available, the body will obtain (take) them from the bones, nervous system or other crucial features.
Some will require medical detox from methadone – the problem is that most Paradise methadone detox centers don't use nutritional supplements as part of their program. They just give more medications, and often not the right ones. The lack of full understanding on Methadone detox creates a brutal scene to withdraw from.
The good news is that I've discovered the devices as well as the detox facilities in KS that could beat methadone withdrawal efficiently and quickly.More:

Paradise, Kansas
In 1859, a hunting party explored the area, including a small tributary of the Saline River which led them to a site abundant in water, timber, and bison. One of the hunters, James R. Mead, described the site as paradise, and the tributary subsequently became known as Paradise Creek.[8] The first post office in the area opened under the name Paradise in 1875. In 1887, the Union Townsite Company established a town on the north side of the creek northwest of the post office, naming it Ivamar after Iva Marr, the daughter of a local rancher. The Paradise post office relocated to Ivamar the next year, but kept its name. As a result, the town came to be known by both names; in 1891, the Union Pacific Railroad listed its rail stop there as Paradise with Ivamar in parentheses. The community grew through the 1890s to include a school, downtown businesses, and railroad facilities, reaching a population of 200 by 1910.[9] Ivamar incorporated in 1924 and finally changed its name to Paradise.[10] The population of the community has gradually declined since the 1930s.[9]
Paradise is located at 39°6′56″N 98°55′3″W / 39.11556°N 98.91750°W / 39.11556; -98.91750 (39.115445, -98.917428)[11] at an elevation of 1,693 feet (516 m).[5] Located in north-central Kansas 3.5 miles (5.6 km) west of U.S. Route 281 on Kansas Highway 18 (K-18), Paradise is 127 miles (204 km) northwest of Wichita, 233 miles (375 km) west of Kansas City, and 15 miles (24 km) north-northwest of Russell, the county seat.[6][12][13]
Paradise sits on the north bank of Paradise Creek, a tributary of the Saline River, in the Smoky Hills region of the Great Plains. Eagle Creek, a tributary of Paradise Creek, flows south along the community's east side.[6][12]
As of the 2010 census, there were 49 people, 22 households, and 13 families residing in the city. The population density was 163.3 people per square mile (63.1/km²). There were 27 housing units at an average density of 90.0 per square mile (38.6/km²). The racial makeup of the city was 100.0% White. Hispanics and Latinos of any race were 0.0% of the population.[7]

Yesterday i got some nail art pens from Primark £2, so i wanted to do some nail art that would allow me to try them out. I love nail art pens, i think they are a really useful tool for nail art as the nail varnish comes out of the needle at the end. I think this is handy because i have an art tool and i am always having to keep cleaning the end and reapplying, this can become a bit of a pain when doing patterns and designs.
These nail art pens also come with glitter at the end which i think would be perfect for Christmas as who doesn't rock glitter at Christmas. They are really quick at applying which i think is super handy for nail art when you have to apply more than one coat. Overall, i would say that i am really chuffed with these, i might see if they have them in any more colours.
For my TV show or film nail art i decided to do New Girl, when i searching around Zoe Deschanel came up allot. So, i thought i would do a little twist on something which i have been wanting to try for a while. This is really simple to do, which is perfect for me. I only have short nails at the moment and i was worried it might look a little silly with the black at ends but i think it looks great. I think if i was to come a little further down my nail with the black this may have made my nails look shorter than what they are. I like the monochrome pattern as i think it will go with most of clothes as i find black and white go with most things that i usually wear.

5 Types of Freelancers
In case you're new to this outsourcing diversion, you may feel somewhat confounded about the plans and sorts of work that consultants do. In case you're a present consultant, you may glance around and feel somewhat forlorn in your profession decision. In any case, this breakdown of the five sorts of consultants may put the profession into point of view. This data originates from this infographic from Line2, which additionally incorporates the to some degree amazing measurement that there are 53 million independent laborers in the United States – one of every three US specialists!
Independent Contractor
This is perhaps the most general heading, encompassing any worker who doesn't have one specific employer. In fact, some of the following designations can potentially double under this heading, too. a writer who has a contract to produce curriculum plans for an educational website, and another agreement with another entity to write one article per month for a local magazine. They may also have other similar short-term projects. This writer accrues income from several different contracts, projects and sources, and those different payments are generally the entire extent of their income.
Web content writer
Writing for the web has its own set of requirements and unique opportunities.
Web content can range from website microcopy (somebody has to write those alerts that ask you to log in before you can continue) to social media content (it's harder to express an idea in 140 characters than it sounds) to blogs (throw a dart at a wall covered with random topics, and you can bet someone's got a blog about whatever you hit) to full-length articles and white papers (referred to as "long copy").
Within those broad categories, web copy can further be narrowed down by specialty. You might focus exclusively on projects related to finance, technology, entertainment or medicine, or you might be a generalist who uses mad research skills to write copy on everything under the sun.
Generally, if you're writing for the web, your client's ultimate objective is to drive traffic to a website or sell a product (or both). So, even if you're writing about the importance of brushing your cat regularly, your real focus is on inspiring readers to take action.

Business writer
If you're a business writer, you tackle white papers, reports, articles, press releases, pamphlets, business proposals, prepared speeches and more. You might even write a little advertising. The advent of the Internet changed the means by which communication is transmitted, but businesses still require well written copy to stay competitive in today's market.
You're a ghostwriter if you write blogs, articles, books or other works and someone else gets the official credit. Many celebrities and politicians hire ghostwriters to compose their autobiographies, and some book series are credited to a single author when, in fact, multiple authors participated in the project.
If you're just starting out as a freelance writer, you may be trying out a number of different styles and assignment types. As you practice, you'll undoubtedly become flexible enough to take on assignments in a number of categories. You'll be happiest and at your best, however, if you can narrow down your individual groove and rock it.

Baby Wolf Loom and Me
I am getting to know her at last. After watching the Deborah Chandler video where she warps a Baby Wolf I think I just may be able to do it! Many years I've tried and failed in my weaving due to one thing or another. Finally I see where I've gone wrong in many small and tiring ways. Warping is no longer the long hard road it was... It's still time consuming but not so painful. Guess I'm not the self taught warping Wonder Woman I hoped to be!

Today, many hotels offer a recent appeared service: a spa session. This practice is more and more well-known everyday, and it is well conceived as well. And the thing is that spas provide their clients with many benefits and positive experiences. Although it is true that too extreme temperatures can be dangerous for some collectives (pregnant women, diabetic people…) there is a wide range of treatments to receive in a spa, such as yoga, hydrotherapy or different type of massages. The final goal is to take it easy and be relaxed from body and soul.
Spas are beneficious for different parts of ourselves. Undoubtedly, one of them is our body. A spa session can relax our muscles, can improve digestive problems and it is even possible to prevent hipertension.
On the other hand, spas are an excellent opportunity to forget about everything else, being able to enjoy a certain period of time all by ourselves. Forget about routine, about problems and pressures, and release your mind. Once you get in a spa, nothing else matters.
Finally, these type of places also help us to get a better image of ourselves. They offer many beauty treatments, such as peelings or facial hydrations, which will make us feel better.
As you see, hotels are changing and they will not be the same anymore. If you are looking for a place where to stay, why not taking spas into consideration and make your choice easier to be made?
