TIDBITS® SAYS

IT’S BEEN AGES!by Kathy Wolfe

How much do you know about how our culture has evolved throughout the ages? This week, Tidbits explores the progress made over the centuries. •Archaeologistsgenerallydivideprehistoriceras

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.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Make friends with yourself and you will never feel alone. You may be your own worst critic. In the week to come, work at being the very best you can be and concentrate on what is good about yourself.TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Handle money with businesslike precision and remain formal in social situations. You will receive better acceptance from others in the week ahead if your actions are above reproach. Display professionalism.GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Be a friend indeed. Feeling gratitude but not expressing it is like buying a present and wrapping it, but not giving it. Give credit where credit is due in the week ahead - even if you think someone has ulterior motives.CANCER (June 21-July 22): Live long and prosper. Some money must come and go, but some money can be used as seed for a future harvest. Don’t make permanent decisions based on temporary feelings in the upcoming week.LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Consider making headway with your health in the week ahead. Dump the junk foods and begin eating more nourishing fruits and vegetables. You only have one body and must find ways to make it last.VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Sometimes it pays to mix business and pleasure. If you develop a strong sense of compassion and sharp wits, you won’t fall for cheap tricks in the week ahead. Romantic and business ties can grow stronger.LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The notion that opposites attract is a fallacy unless you are discussing magnets. In the week to come, it’s best to seek companionship from those who are like you in their tastes, opinions and lifestyles.SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Distance yourself from problems. Develop a more objective perspective in the week ahead by finding other activities to occupy your time. Seek relief from pressure so you can improve your attitude.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In fairy tales, fantasies can come true. Bottle up woeful wisdoms. You might be right, but you don’t need to spread doom and gloom this week when someone else is delighted with new plans and ideas.CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Break out of a rut and make a brave stand. The time may be ripe to apologize to someone for not listening to wise advice sooner. In the week ahead, read inspiring literature and think about long-term results.AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Look and listen for lasting values. In the upcoming week, someone behind the scenes may give you the opportunity to lead - but if you fail to perform, they’ll take control back in their own hands.PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Life doesn’t come with an instruction manual. Sometimes you must ask others for help and assistance. This is a week when you must feel your way around, think things through and rely upon intuition.

IT’S BEEN AGES! (continued):• According to Greek mythology, there are

several stages of human existence on Earth. During the Golden Age, the first race of mortals, dubbed the golden race (meaning good and noble), was created by the gods and held conversations with them. There was an endless abundance of food and no need for agriculture. This age was characterized by peace, harmony, and prosperity. The mortals lived to an old age while maintaining their youthful appearance, and eventually died very peaceful deaths. The Silver Age followed, with the mortals described as foolish and immature, who refused to worship the gods and goddesses. According to mythology, this so angered Zeus, he destroyed the silver race. The mortals of the mythological Bronze Age were hardened and tough, caught up in wars. This race was undone by their own violence. The Heroic Age was the period of heroes who fought at Troy. In the Iron Age, pain and evil ran rampant, with humans living in toil and misery, and with no shame over wrongdoing.

• 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.

• 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

Neuro-Developmental Disorders: What’s Going On? Part 1 of 2

Today, more than ever before, we have children and adults with neurological issues unlike anything in the history of mankind. ADHD, Autism, Sensory processing, learning disabilities, Epilepsy, etc. The rates of these problems continue to go up year after year.But why? Where have these issues come from? Many of these have never been seen in history until the last century. What has all of a sudden changed to cause these issues to show up in epidemic proportions? Is it genetics? Is is chemicals in our environment? What has happened?To understand the proper care for these issues we need to COMPLETELY understand the CAUSE and where these problems started from in the first place. Much of the problem is a central nerve system that is in chaos, a state of fight or flight, where it cannot process the information coming into the brain clearly and then coordinate the expression of that information properly. This incoordination stems from three main stressors: emotional, chemical, and physical. Emotional stress can be from a stressful pregnancy, chaotic home environment, etc. Chemical stress can be from toxins and pollution in our environment, nutritional deficiencies, etc. Physical stress can come from birth trauma, common childhood bumps and falls, etc.Next weeks article will discuss how these stressors cause disturbance to the brain body communication, what does that ‘look like’ as well as the first step in helping ‘calm’ the nerve communication.

Lauren was hanging around a property for several months, clearly homeless. The people couldn’t give him a home so they kept him in an outdoor run for a few weeks until we had room at Katie’s Place. Poor Lauren hasn’t had anyone he could trust for a while and he was nervous of us when he arrived - as his trust grows, Lauren seeks out attention and accepts petting. It would mean a lot to him to be wanted and protected again as he surely was in his kittenhood. He has a unique black spot on his chin surrounded by snowy white fur from his nose to his ruff, and the tips of both his forepaws are white. Lauren is a handsome fellow who is patiently waiting for someone to give him another chance and a home that he can call his own. He is not a demanding cat. He just needs a soft pillow to rest on and

a warm heart to love him.Bijou came to Katie’s Place as a shelter transfer - it seems she had been originally found as a stray in 2005 and had bounced between a few homes before finding her way to us. Some of the previous observations on

Bijou were that she was tempermental AND affectionate, but that when she displayed ‘aggression’ she would swat and not bite, and that she had litterbox indiscretions. Biological or medical possibilities have been checked out as a reason for her litterbox issues. We have observed Bijou’s at the shelter, and she has not had any litterbox issues. She is sweet and welcomes attention, but she wil let you know if she has had enough. She has lived with other cats at the shelter and doesn’t seem to mind them but from what we know she would not live happily with a dog. In a calm and stable home Bijou would be able to relax and show what an affectionate, well-behaved kitty she can be! If you like a cat with bright eyes and a beautiful full coat, come meet our dear little Bijou!

Q: We just moved into a wonderful old house. We were originally drawn to the home by its charm and elegance. However, now we have a problem. Our dogs and cats - we have two of each - don’t seem to like it here. Any of the animals may be walking down a hallway, then suddenly stop and run the other way, as if they’d seen a ghost. Clearly, pets can sense more than we can. Perhaps, they can sense ghosts. What do you think? - V.D., via Cyberspace A: I doubt what your pets sense is a long-lost soul, as much as it’s a long-lost pet. You’re right that pets can sense far more than we can, particularly with their keen sense of smell. If your pets are hitting the brakes at nearly the same place in your home each time, I wonder if previous owners had pets. The lingering scent - which you can’t detect - may be what your pets are responding to. If they’re being spooked at one place in particular, make that a fun place. Take out the squeaky dog toys and/or the fishing pole-type cat toys and play with your pets at that spot. Another possibility is that your pets are simply spooked in strange surroundings. A creaky wood floor, the sound of an appliance they haven’t heard before - anything novel might make them take notice and head off the opposite direction.Some pets take only a matter of minutes to settle into a new home; others need several months. To relieve mild anxiety, plug in Feliway and Adaptil diffusers around the house. Both products contain replicates pheromones which can help take off the edge. However, I’m not sure either will defend against ghosts. If you’re convinced you have a ghost, I say embrace the phantom! Perhaps, the spirit will help out, scooping the litter box or letting the dogs out when you’re running late at the office.

“THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN, PART 2”: This is it for fans of the enormously successful movie franchise based on Stephenie Meyer’s novels, the finale ... and the theatrical box-office take proves that devotees turned out in force for it. Now parents - and both vampires now, too - Bella and Edward (Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson) do their best to protect their fast-growing daughter (Mackenzie Foy) from enemies, resulting in a genuinely epic battle well-staged by director Bill Condon. Taylor Lautner, Ashley Greene, Peter Facinelli, Elizabeth Reaser, Kellan Lutz and Billy Burke are among the other series regulars who all get their swan-song moments here. DVD extras: two “making-

of ” documentaries; audio commentary by Condon; music video. ***

“THE MASTER”: Oscar-nominated for all of its key performances, writer-director Paul Thomas Anderson’s compelling and challenging drama casts Joaquin Phoenix as a troubled World War II veteran who falls under the spell of an influential man (the superb Philip Seymour Hoffman, in the sort of acting job it’s hard to imagine anyone else doing) determined to launch a new social movement. The lessons go only so far before the student rebels. Amy Adams plays the self-styled leader’s wife in a cast that also includes Ambyr Childers, Jesse Plemons (“Friday Night Lights”) and Laura Dern. DVD extras: extended and deleted scenes. ***

“CHASING MAVERICKS”: In the same manner as “Soul Surfer” not that long ago, this drama tells the true, earnest story of a young person pitted against nature ... the wet brand of it, more specifically. Jonny Weston plays Jay Moriarity, a surfer determined to conquer one of the biggest waves there is. He seeks guidance from an expert in the sport (Gerard Butler), and their connection ultimately goes much deeper than riding a board. The film was helmed by two top directors, Michael Apted and Curtis Hanson. Co-stars include Elisabeth Shue and Abigail Spencer. ***

“CHICKEN WITH PLUMS”: Featured at several film festivals, this fanciful story of a violinist and his recollections takes unusual forms in the hands of two filmmakers who also displayed their technique in the acclaimed “Persepolis,” Marjane Satrapi and Vincent Paronnaud. Satrapi’s graphic novel is the source of the tale, in which the musician (Mathieu Amalric, “Quantum of Solace”) mourns the loss of his cherished violin and decides there’s nothing worth continuing to live for. His dreams may indicate differently, though. Isabella Rossellini also appears. DVD extras: audio commentary by, and question-and-answer session with, Satrapi and Paronnaud. ***

“THE CLIENT LIST: THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON”: After starring in a TV movie of the same name, Jennifer Love Hewitt retooled the concept a bit and (as both star and producer) came up with a hit Lifetime series. She plays a Texas wife and mother in desperate need of income after her husband leaves her, so she works in a spa where she tries to resist incentives to provide “extra services” to the clientele. Loretta Devine and Cybill Shepherd respectively play the Hewitt character’s boss and mother, with Colin Egglesfield (“Something Borrowed”) as the masseuse’s ex-brother-in-law, who wants to remain in her life. DVD extras: outtakes; deleted scenes. ***

Say You Saw It In...

ITS BEEN AGES! (continued):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.

• 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.

• 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.
