Rosetta Stone

The Rolling Stones, having outlived almost the greater part of their 1960s counterparts, keep on belting out hits well into middle age. However, the Rolling Stones did not begin with the same as its line-up today. Scarcely, very few, if any groups have ever began that way. The Rolling Stones began as a little high school band named "Young man Blue and the Blue Boys", with Mick Jagger singing and Keith Richards playing guitar. The music they played consisted of many different covers. However the…

The signature sound of Red Hot Chili Peppers has generated long-standing radio staples during their long career in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame career. The known Flea bass sound, Anthony Kiedis rhythmic patter and Chad Smith’s funky beating the drum have create a unique sense that has served the band well, but with The Getaway, it seems that the Chili Peppers show that they have some new tricks up their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame sleeves. For their latest effort, the band collaborate with…

The dinner table was silent. My father, silent. My mother, silent. My brother, silent. We all made glances at each other while controlled by it. I was to ship away in 7 days. It was Christmas, 1944. Possibly the last time I was to ever see my family. I didn’t want to leave my family. Growing up with them on a farm, my small, silent family, they were some of the only people I truly knew. The same faces I saw every day at my school were not the people I truly bonded with. It was my…

persuasion has been highly prized throughout history. It has been the source of interesting myths because people have long considered eloquence to be magical and as potent as a charm. In Ireland, for instance, legend has it that kissing the Blarney Stone in Blarney Castle will bless you with the art of persuasion. When you know how to say the right things at the right time, when you know how to use the art of persuasion, you will develop a knack for negotiation and influence. So, if you…

Between Two Galaxies The show opens with Marina in her quarters humming a tune while crafting a self-portrait. Some other drawings are hung up; others lay across her desk or in piles on the floor. None of the other portraits are of her, it’s a healthy variety of artistic musings. Her musings are less than inspirational as her life and surroundings are the epitomai of monotony. Marina's humming picks up in volume as she is seen about her day. Marina is in Sick Bay organizing medical…

In the Paleolithic Age farming as a way of life did not exist according to researchers until the defining of a new age. Hunters and gatherers traveled following food sources. Finding an ecological balance with their available resources kept a moderate restraint on the population of Homo sapiens. Like all great discoveries, Paleolithic people looking for an easier and more stable way of life developed saving seeds to replant, herding and caring for animals, and the creation of new tools left…

I believe that when we research history it’s very important to start with the paleo-Neo era because they are the most important parts of human life. The Paleolithic era is the stone age when we had begun using stone tools. The people of the old stone age era left no written records, they only left physical remains. While the Neolithic began at the end of the last ice age this era brought out the continuation of the social and technological evolution. The people of this era began to make weapons…

Before you can fully understand the changes that occurred in the Neolithic period, you must first know the history of the Paleolithic period. During the Paleolithic period, there was a more equal division of labor. Women worked outside the home gathering plant and animal products. Men also worked outside of the home to hunt for food, locate water, and find shelter. During this period, wealth was not a factor in deciding who had more power because importance was not placed on material goods in a…

Mousterian Tradition (O’Neil). There are four steps involved in the Levallois technique (Michaels and Smith). The first and second steps are, a large stone is selected, then the stone is percussion flaked around the outside, which prepares the core (O’Neil). The third step is, one side of the stone is percussion flaked and then lastly, one end of the stone is struck which removes a large flake that is flat on one end and then convex on the other end (O’Neil). The flakes that were created from…

Before the Neolithic revolution, there was a fair chance that you would have lived with your extended family as a nomad, never staying in one area for more than a few months, always living in impermanent shelters, always looking for something to eat and never owning something that you could easily pack in a backpack or a sack. The Neolithic era saw tremendous changes in how people obtained and produced food. It also had political, social and economic effects on a particular society or region.…
