Writing tools are the things we use to write with.
Most writing today is done with a computer system, usually with word processing software.
But for about 5,000 years, much simpler tools were used.
The tools were different in different parts of the world.
The raw materials had to be near where people lived.
The two oldest writing systems come from this area, which also had the earliest agriculture and the first cities.
It is not known for sure which came first, or whether they influenced each other.
The Sumerian system used clay as the basic material to write on.
They developed a type of writing called cuneiform.
Triangular marks were pressed into soft clay tablets by a metal or wooden tool.
This is the most famous of the old forms of writing.
The tools were:
The hieroglyphs were carved into stone (hammer & chisel) or painted onto stone surfaces.
The two cursive ('running') scripts, hieratic and demotic, were written with reed pens and carbon inks onto papyrus.
If the material was cloth, then the writing was done with a brush.
When writing on papyrus, Egyptians used a reed pen.
The was hollow, with a nib-like end structure.
This was a good example of how writing tools must be got from materials in the local area.
Although Chinese characters can be written with many materials, for the longest period they were written with a brush.
The ink was carbon-based.
It was moulded before use into an inkstick.
This small solid object could be carried easily.
To get the ink the writer had to grind the inkstick against an inkstone with some added water.
The earliest Chinese inks can be dated back to 12th century BC, with the use of charred (partly burnt) materials and plant dyes.
Mineral inks based on graphite were most common.
A bit later, soot was used as the carbon source, and animal glue used to bind the ink to the paper (Egyptian ink used gum arabic for the same reason).
Paper was a Chinese invention, and a very important one.
Essentially the same writing tools and methods were used in Japan, and in Korea, two countries influenced by China.
The Romans used lead styli with wax tablets which could be "erased" by rubbing the beeswax surface smooth again.
For permanent records they wrote on parchment (treated animal skin) with ink.
They invented the idea of a book with sewn-together parchment pages.
It was called a codex, a word which means something like 'block of wood'.
Before, long documents were kept in a roll.
Dip-in pens were used in Europe for a thousand years or more.
At first they were quill pens made of the stem ('rachis') of a pigeon feather.
The quill pen was cut by a knife to give the slanting nib at the writing end.
They were used from the middle ages until the first part of the 19th century.
Metal pens were tried next, but many metals were not flexible enough.
The writing styles which developed with quill pens used thick and thin strokes.
People wanted the same flexibility from a metal pen.
Between 1839 and 1849 the steel-nibbed pen solved the problem.
For the next century and more, industrial production lines turned out hundreds of millions of steel nibs.
They had the advantage that different types of nib could be attached to the same holder.
This allowed for different styles of writing to be used.
Eventually the best nibs were tipped with gold or iridium, a rare metal which arrives on Earth via meteorites.
All stages in the making of nibs was done by machine.
The great secret of all nibs from the Egyptian reed to the steel pen is the slit down the middle of the tip.
This leads the ink from the small blob under the nib to the point where the ink goes onto the paper.
Without the slit, a nib does not work well.

A timeline is a way of displaying a list of events in the order they happened (called chronological order).
It may be in the form of a list or a graphic design.
A graphic timeline typically shows a long bar labelled with dates and usually events.
But it can be other layouts as well.
Uses of timelines
Timelines are often used in education.
They help students and researchers understand the order or chronology of historical events for a subject.
A timeline can be used to visualize the time between events, durations (such as lifetimes or wars), and the overlap of events.
Timelines are particularly useful for studying history, as they convey a sense of change over time.
Wars and social movements are often shown as timelines.
Another type of timeline is used for project management.
They are important to help team members to know what milestones need to be achieved.
It also shows the time schedule.
An example is showing a project timeline for a Systems development life cycle of a computer system.

They were well known throughout the Rocky Mountains region.
Famous mountain men include Jim Bridger, Kit Carson, and Jedediah Smith.
By the mid 1800s the fur trade was no longer profitable.
Furs were no longer popular in European fashion.

Others, like William Sublette, opened up fort-trading posts along the Oregon Trail for the remaining fur traders and settlers heading west.

The American Shorthair is a breed of cat.
This breed was first used as ship's cats that sailed from Europe to North America with early settlers.
They kept the ships free of mice and rats and protected the food and cargo.
Even the Mayflower carried several cats to hunt the ship’s rats, in 1620.
The cats who were still alive after landing in the New World had kittens.
Over time, the breed changed so the cats could survive better in their new land and climate.
The American Shorthair is a working cat.
It has a large and strong body.
It is usually healthy, calm and loving with its owners.
This cat is friendly and not shy with strangers.
Males weigh eleven to fifteen pounds.
Females weigh eight to twelve pounds.
It takes three or four years for them to become adult cats.
With a good diet and good care, they can live 15 years or longer.
The American Shorthair comes in more than eighty different colors and patterns.
These include a brown-patched tabby, a blue-eyed white, shaded silvers, smokes and calicos.
Some even come in deep shades of black or brown.
Only hybrid cats that are chocolate, sable, lavender, lilac, or a Siamese pattern are not allowed in cat shows.
American Shorthairs are intelligent cats who are interested in what is happening around them.
They will watch outdoor birds, other animals and other activity from an inside window perch.
These cats are calm but playful.
Some enjoy sitting in laps.
They get along with children, so they make good family pets.
American Shorthairs are social cats, but still like to have their own way.
They use their hunting skills to catch insects or pests that come into the house.
In the early 20th century, a breeding program was started to develop the best qualities of these cats who came from Europe.
Before, there had not been a lot of mixed breeds that had the American Shorthair background.
The American Shorthair cat now has standards set by cat fanciers of the breed.
The breed is accepted by all North American cat registries.
In 1966, the breed was given the name "American Shorthair".
This was to separate the pure breed cat from the many mixed domestic short-haired cats that live all over North America.
All these short haired cats are called "working cats" because they were used to catch rodents on ships and farms.
He is famous for writing a beautiful poem Heer, about an old love story.
Jesse Washington was lynched in Waco, Texas, on May 15, 1916.
Washington was a teenage African American who worked on a farm.
The event became a well-known example of racially motivated lynching.
Washington was accused of raping and killing Lucy Fryer.
Fryer was the wife of Washington's white boss in rural Robinson, Texas.
No one saw Washington commit the crime.
During his interrogation by the McLennan County sheriff, he signed a confession and described the location of the weapon used to kill Fryer.
Washington was tried for murder in Waco.
There were angry locals in the courtroom.
Washington pleaded guilty and was quickly sentenced to death.
Washington was dragged out of the court by observers and lynched in front of Waco's city hall.
Over 10,000 people, including city officials and police, gathered to watch the attack.
People enjoyed the attack, many children attended the event.
Members of the mob removed his testicles, cut off his fingers, and hung him over a bonfire.
Washington was lowered and raised over the fire for about two hours.
The fire was extinguished and his burnt torso was dragged through the town.
Parts of his body were sold as souvenirs.
Pictures of the event were taken by a professional photographer.
This provided rare pictures of a lynching while the event was going on.
These pictures were printed and sold as postcards in Waco.
Lynching was supported by many Waco residents.
It was, however, not supported by newspapers around the United States.
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) hired Elisabeth Freeman to investigate.
Freeman gathered many details, despite that many residents did not want to talk about what had happened.
After receiving Freeman's report, NAACP co-founder and editor W. E. B. Du Bois published an in-depth report featuring photographs of Washington's burnt body in The Crisis.
The NAACP also featured his death in their anti-lynching campaign.
Waco was known as a modern and a progressive city.
However, the lynching demonstrated that the city did not mind racial violence.
The event was nicknamed the "Waco horror".
The city then gained a reputation for racism.
City leaders tried to stop violence several times in the following decades.
Historians believe that Washington's death helped change the way people view lynching.
The media attention the event received made people become against lynching.
It was seen as "barbarism" (ruthless) rather than as an acceptable form of justice.
In the 1990s and 2000s, some Waco residents wanted a monument for the event.
The idea did not gain support in the city.
