I was raised in a very artistic household. At the age of 10, I won a statewide contest, in my age group, for a drawing of R2D2, the robot from Star Wars. The prize was a scholarship to the local art school in Clinton, MA. My artistic renderings always received recognition throughout my school years. My children are very artistic as well in their own ways. Drawing, painting, sculpting, piano, violin and acapella are some of the artistry we practice in our home.
I look forward to working with the new mayor and the artist community to identify the grants and funding available to Gateway cities like Fitchburg in order to improve the economy through art. I will look hard into providing the necessary support for the Massachusetts Percent for Art Program, creating a percentage of all constructions on state property to fund art programs. In addition, the arts and culture fields will flourish under my plan to bring businesses to the community. I'm the only candidate with a private sector background on creating jobs, particularly in the high tech industry.
As the chair of the City Council Property Committee, I assisted with shepherding this project through the committee and then provided support in the full City Council. I was the only city councilor to physically visit and inspect B. F. Brown. As a state representative, I plan on working closely with the project owner, CDC, and the mayor to make sure my advocacy is available to help with any state and local issues that may arise. Further, I have been in contact with Marc Dohan to get updates on the progress. Funding is now the priority to moving this project forward. I will provide any and all assistance required of me.
I spearheaded the economic development discussion in Fitchburg with the economic development director position and then helped to create the economic development infrastructure. My platform as the state representative is to attract businesses and companies to occupy the city's vacant buildings and build the economy to one that will attract new residents and tourists to the region. A thriving economy will create an inviting environment for all to work, play and invest. That is why I plan on supporting small businesses and the Small Business Bill of Rights. The unemployment rate in Fitchburg is 6.2%. I seek to reduce this rate and achieve economic growth through job creation, which will attract the creative community and tourism.
This initiative is also known as the Arts for All Initiative. I strongly believe arts help foster creativity, innovation and critical thinking. I would support this initiative if the requirement is not a burden on the school systems and the necessary funding is available to the schools. A mandate without responsible funding and oversight will be disastrous. I know the important role that the arts play in academia. I have a child in the high school, middle school, elementary, and preschool.

In 1987, my mentor Monsignor Richard Schuler wrote regarding full, conscious and active participation. This was one of the very first principles that he would teach when speaking catechetically about the liturgical action and how man relates to it. This was the very first principle that he taught me. Over time, I will be expanding this principle; writing about how we can enhance our participation in the liturgical action and how this can be applied to everyday assistance at Holy Mass.
With the constitution on the liturgy, Sacrosanctum Concilium, issued in 1965 by the Second Vatican Council, everyone became very conscious of personal participation in the sacred liturgy, particularly in the Mass.
The Mass of its nature requires that all those present participate in it, in the fashion proper to each.
This participation must primarily be interior (i.e., union with Christ the Priest; offering with and through Him).
b) But the participation of those present becomes fuller (plenior) if to internal attention is joined external participation, expressed, that is to say, by external actions such as the position of the body (genuflecting, standing, sitting), ceremonial gestures, or, in particular, the responses, prayers and singing . . .
It is this harmonious form of participation that is referred to in pontifical documents when they speak of active participation (participatio actuosa), the principal example of which is found in the celebrating priest and his ministers who, with due interior devotion and exact observance of the rubrics and ceremonies, minister at the altar.
It is made clear that it is baptismal character that forms the foundation of active participation.
Mother Church earnestly desires that all the faithful should be led to that full, conscious and active participation in the ceremonies which is demanded by the very nature of the liturgy.
Such participation by the Christian people as a "chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a redeemed people" (I Pet. 2:9; 2:4-5) is their right and duty by reason of their baptism.
In the restoration and promotion of the sacred liturgy this full and active participation by all the people is the aim to be considered before all else; for it is the primary and indispensable source from which the faithful are to derive the true spirit of Christ . . .
A true grasp of the meaning of participation in the liturgy demands a clear understanding of the nature of the Church and above all of Christ Himself. At the basis of so much of today's problems in liturgy lies a false notion of Christology and ecclesiology. Christ, the incarnate Word of God, true God and true Man, lives on in this world now. "I will be with you all days until the end of the world." Even though He has arisen and ascended into heaven, He lives with us. The Church is His mystical Body, indeed His mystical Person. We are the members of that Body. Its activity, the activity of the Church, is the activity of Christ, its Head. The hierarchical priesthood functions in the very person of Christ, doing His work of teaching, ruling and sanctifying. Thus the Mass and the sacraments are Christ's actions bringing to all the members of His Body, the Church, the very life that is in its Head. Participation in that life demands that every member of the Body take part in that action, which is primarily the liturgical activity of the Church. The liturgy is the primary source of that divine life, and thus all must be joined to it in an active way. Baptism is the key that opens the door and permits one to become part of the living Body of Christ. The baptized Christian has not only a right to participation in the Church's life but a duty as well. It is only the baptized person who can participate.
The difference between participation in the liturgy that can be called activa and participation that can be labeled actuosa rests in the characteristics of baptism. It is this very sacramental seal that grants one the right to participate. Without the baptismal mark, any action we conduct at Mass, singing, walking, kneeling or anything else can be termed "active," but they do not constitute participatio actuosa. Only through the sacrament of baptism can any action be truly participatory. Let's say that a pious Jew attends Mass, takes part in the singing and even walks in a procession with great piety. In the same church is also a Catholic who is blind, deaf, dumb, and isn't able to leave his chair; he can neither sing nor hear the readings nor walk in the procession. Which one has truly and actually participated, the one who is very active, or the one who has confined himself solely to his thoughts of adoration? Obviously, it is the baptized Catholic who has exercised participatio actuosa despite his lack of external, physical movement. The Jew even with his many actions has not been capable of it, since he lacks the baptismal characteristic which is the topic of discussion.
Through the necessity of baptism, it still is imperative for the Catholic Christian to take part in the liturgy actively by a variety of interior and exterior actions. This means that the internal actuosa participatio, which the indelible mark of baptism empowers, must be aided by those external actions of which he is capable. He should do those things that the Church sets out for him according to his role in the liturgy and the various conditions that age, social position and cultural background dictate. He must join participatio activa to his participatio actuosa which he exercises as a baptized Catholic. In other words, his outward actions should first and foremost be illumined by his internal action.
What are those actions that make for true active and actual participation in the liturgy? They must be both internal and external in quality and quantity, since man is a rational creature with body and soul. The Church proposes many bodily positions: kneeling, standing, walking, sitting, etc. She likewise proposes many human actions: singing, speaking, listening and above all else, the reception of the Holy Eucharist, when properly disposed. They demand internal attention as well as external execution. The first thought should not be as a formal or extraordinary minister, but rather as one who joins in worship to God, the Father. It is our first right, above all other to assist at Holy Mass and give all glory and honor to God.
The most demanding of human actions is that of listening. It requires strict attention and summons up in a person his total constructive effort. It is possible to sing, especially a very familiar tune, and not be conscious of actually singing. However, one cannot truly listen without attention to that which he is hearing. Especially in our day of media attention, whether it be radio, television or social media, we are able to tune out almost every sound we wish. To listen attentively demands full, conscious and active human concentration. Listening can be the most active form of participation, demanding full effort and attention.
There is a variety of roles to be observed in the public celebration of the liturgy. There is the role of the bishop, priest, deacon (and sub-deacon), acolyte, lay reader, cantor, choir/schola, and congregation, among others; because each office has its own purpose and its own manner of acting we have the basic reason for a distinction of roles. If the lay reader or the cantor is to read and/or sing, certainly the role of the others is to listen. If the choir is to sing, someone must listen and in so-doing participate actively in the liturgy, even if during the period of listening he is relatively inactive in a physical way.
A very important aspect of the liturgy is the elevation of the spirit of the faithful who worships. At the end of the day, liturgy is the public prayer of the Church, the most visible act of adoration, thanksgiving, petition, and reparation. It is offered to God the Father, through God the Son (as an unbloody memorial of that self same bloody sacrifice on Calvary once and for all), by the power of the Holy Spirit; and as such, produces true actuosa participatio. Thus beauty, whether it appeals to the sight, the ear, the imagination or any of the senses, is an important element in achieving participation. The grand and beautiful splendor of a great church or the sound of awe inspiring music, or the solemnity of the ceremonial movement by ministers clothed in precious vestments, or the beauty of the proclaimed Word and words of the Mass, all can effect a true and salutary participation in one who himself has not sung a note or taken a step. But he is not a mere spectator as some would say, in the post-Vatican Council II era; he is actively participating because of his baptismal character and the grace stirred up in him by what he is seeing and hearing, thinking and praying.

At approximately 400 miles/640 km in diameter (roughly the size of '4 Ohios'), Hurricane Florence is making its way to the continental US and is currently forecasted to reach land Thursday evening and 'stall' over North and South Carolina until Sunday.
According to the National Weather Service, Florence is expected 'to produce total rainfall accumulations of 20 to 30 inches (50-76 cm) with isolated maximum amounts of 40 inches (101 cm).' With this amount of rainfall the potential for severe flooding is high.
The winds and low pressure of Florence could also produce a tsunami-like storm surge, with ocean water rising up to 20 feet higher than sea level in some areas. As of Tuesday nearly 1.7 million people in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia have been warned to evacuate the coast.
Below you will find images taken from the International Space Station and the NOAA GOES-East Satellite that give a terrifying sense of the size of Hurricane Florence.
Cameras outside the International Space Station captured a stark and sobering view of Hurricane Florence the morning of Sept. 12 as it churns across the Atlantic in a west-northwesterly direction with winds of 130 miles an hour. The National Hurricane Center forecasts additional strengthening for Florence before it reaches the coastline of North Carolina and South Carolina early Friday, Sept. 14.

Did Kipling's Jungle Books markedly influence ERB's creation of Tarzan?
No. Certainly not in any sense that ERB's Tarzan was in any important manner based upon this character, or that his books about Tarzan were influenced much, if at all, by Kipling's writings.
I had never read the JungleBooks, though the Classics Illustrated version is perhaps my favorite comic book of all time. I had read some of The Big Swingers, by Robert W. Fenton Prentice-Hall, Inc. (1967), however, and one can hardly read his discussion of passages relating to Mowgli as he compares them to passages about Tarzan without coming away with the idea that ERB was heavily influenced by this character when he created Tarzan and his jungle habitat.
This didn't trouble me in the least. Most writers borrow from writing and ideas they admire when they create their own fiction. In fact, I was looking forward to meeting Mowgli and Kipling's other fauna and flora; hoping to see the seeds of the ape-man residing within these pages. Recently I tried out my new Rocket e-book with the Jungle Book and the Second Jungle Book.
What I found, however, was mainly nothing. Nothing but childrens' stories. Nothing which would form the clay to create a character such as Tarzan of the Apes.
I then revisited Fenton's Book, since I had remembered him setting forth several passages. They are still there. However, it is apparent that Fenton's objective was to search carefully through the Jungle Books to locate certain types of passages, and then to compare them with passages from Tarzan, in an effort to "prove" his contentions. None of these passages are set forth in the context of the story, nor does he even discuss the vast differences between the writing, the themes, the characters themselves, or anything else which would tend to blunt his contentions.
As a matter of fact, just about everything in these books is so different that if one were to contend that ERB was influenced by Kipling's Jungle Books when he created Tarzan, it would be the contention that ERB wrote stories which were almost wholly contrary to those of Kipling.
I wouldn't quibble with the idea that ERB had read the Jungle Books might have been taken by a particular description or bit of prose now and then, as all writers do. However, when one examines the contentions of Fenton in view of the passages as taken in the context of the books themselves, we can see how illusory are most of these arguments. Fenton's contentions are indicative of a man who has little understanding of Burroughs' Tarzan, and/or who had blinders on when he read these books, so as to not let the facts get in the way of what he was attempting to establish.
He could swing by one hand from a top branch for half an hour at a time.....he could stop a young buck in mid-gallop and throw him sideways by the head. He could ever jerk over the big, wild blue boars that lived in the Marshes of the North. The Jungle People who used to fear him for his wits feared him now for his strength, and when he moved quietly on his own affairs the mere whisper of his coming cleared the wood-paths. And yet the look in his eyes was always gentle.
Well, in fact the similarities are almost nonexistent; and these passages represent more that is coincidental than anything else.
The clear answer is "no." Unlike Kipling's creation/environment, ERB created Tarzan as a purportedly "real", character. This is the main focus of the books, unlike the child's jungle fantasyland which Mowgli inhabits.
Tarzan has long hair because a man in the wilderness would almost certainly have long hair. He has black hair because ERB likes black hair on his heroes. He has a knife because he enables him to survive in a somewhat acceptable manner when he fights against vastly superior strength and natural weapons. If Mowgli had sported blonde or red hair, or short hair, and/or had gone without a knife, Tarzan would ERB's Tarzan, as we've always known him. If Mowgli had been ugly or misshapen, Tarzan of the Apes would have been as handsome as always. ERB rejects so much of what is Kipling's Mowgli that when you consider the few parallels, they are meaningless and coincidental.
Both writers created an attractive, somewhat realistic-looking characters, given their environments. Strong handsome young men with long dark hair. Given the story ERB desired to tell, his physical description of Tarzan would have been just as it is, Mowgli or no Mowgli. I see nothing in these passages but coincidence.
The passage about a "wild god of a jungle legend" etc., on the other hand, is certainly one which is worthy of borrowing to a degree. Whether ERB borrowed the concept from Kipling; or whether they both borrowed it from somewhere else; this is the type of phraseology which would certainly appeal to a writer when first encountered. This is pure metaphorical description, however, and has little to do with the characters.
With respect to the third passage Fenton sets forth as "proof" of these similarities, one wonders what he is talking about. Obviously a man raised in such an environment would be adept at hunting, as a matter of "reality". Kipling's referral to Mowgli's arboreal strength is perhaps one of two or three references to such feats in the entire Jungle Book saga. He in fact disdains the world of the Bandar-log, and the creatures themselves.
Tarzan's arboreal skills, however, are a large part of his attraction and the world of the Mangani. Not only did ERB create his main characters as primates whose arboreal skills are wondrous, but he made them interesting and fairly believable creatures. Kipling scorns the primates, ignoring the fact that they are the most intelligent of the jungle creatures, and he also scorns the world they inhabit. They inhabit this "upper/separate" world, and the other forest creatures ridicule them in the various silly languages Kipling utilizes for wolves and snakes and bears and whatever. ERB's tactic is wholly contrary. He recognizes that only the primates might truly communicate in some very rudimentary fashion, and that the world of the terraces blends with and often dominates the world beneath.
ERB may have enjoyed the very few passages about tree-travel in the Jungle Books, but they are so scant that unless one had some evidence that he actually created Tarzan and the Mangani as a result of these few passages, they are meaningless; and the fact that he created his magnificent Mangani wholly contrary to the mean-spirited bandar-log is pretty inconsistent with such an assertion. ERB is such an imaginative writer that it's much more likely that; once he had decided upon apes (a logical decision), his arboreal concepts were wholly his own.
and when he moved quietly on his own affairs the mere whisper of his coming cleared the wood-paths. And yet the look in his eyes was always gentle.
has nothing to do with Tarzan of the Apes in any manner. Tarzan's eyes may have been gentle once or twice in his life, when he was not with Jane; but that's about it. Nor did Numa or Buto or Sabor clear the area just because the ape-man was on the way. They were beasts, and certainly not afraid of any man.
Fenton's subsequent comments are similarly unsupported. Where in the world does he get the idea that Tarzan of the Apes calls Tantor, his "faithful jungle companion", with a "long low howl which rose and fell"? Perhaps he's seen a few too many Tarzan movies and not read enough books. Tantor is no faithful jungle companion. He is a species. I do recall that in at least one book Tarzan called to Tantor while imprisoned in a hut or tent; and Tantor did rescue him. This was in a later book, however, and had nothing to do with the creation of Tarzan; nor is the ape-man's odd relationship with elephants anything remotely like the silly friendship Mowgli has with Bagheera, the philosophical panther.
It was Korak, not Tarzan, who first called to Tantor. Tarzan tried it in Jewels of Opar, but unfortunately called to a Tantor in Must, who then tried to do him in, apparently forgetting that they were faithful jungle companions.
Although Tarzan's odd friendship with Tantor is set forth in TOA, I see nothing which would liken it to anything in the Jungle Books; and in Return, Tarzan actually hunts and kills Tantor, in the company of the Waziri.
Later in the chapter, Fenton compares the disdain both Mowgli and Tarzan have for man. This is simply a reflection of the two writers' views on some of mankind's values and depredations, and has nothing to do with ERB modeling Tarzan after Mowgli. Nothing. They reflect realities both writers acknowledged in their works, and a theme which ERB wrote a great deal about in many of his works.
Fenton reiterates that both characters were handsome; that both went to "find their fellows"; that both enjoyed tempting fate; and had languages/words for their jungle folk (kaa/histah, Hathi/Tantor, etc.); and apparently contends this is evidence of Kipling's influence, when in fact most heroes are handsome; most heroes are brave and tempt danger; and most fantasy involves names. Fiction has always been thus. Nor did Tarzan go to "find his fellows". His fellows found him. Obviously hero and mankind (and womankind) would meet in the context of this story. The handling of these interactions and themes presented is wholly different, however.
He contends that both writers utilize "similar" descriptions for deserted cities and ancient civilizations as additional "proof". Well, ERB's imagination when it came to lost/ancient cities and civilizations was certainly not dependent upon Kipling, though the romantic concept of such places was something both writers (and most adventure writers) have enjoyed for centuries; and it's a bit insulting to think that ERB would have "copied" a Kipling description when ERB had such a marvelous imagination and vocabulary. Most dead cities by most good writers tend to have some similarities. If I were to create one in a story, it would likely have similarities to Kipling's or ERB's or both, even if I hadn't read either author for many years. Such similarities are meaningless.
Moreover, the passages Fenton sets forth are nearly the sum total of any passages which have similarities to anything Burroughs wrote. They are in fact so rare that although I was looking for similarities when I recently read these books, they were virtually lost in the context of the books. Many of them are from the later parts of the Second Jungle Book, long after Mowgli has grown up and had most of his adventures.
Apart from these few passages, the respective books have no similarities whatsoever. Kipling's jungle is full of laws and rules and politics, with animal councils and votes and other childrens' nonsense.
ERB's jungle is a savage place ruled by self-interest and survival.
Kipling's depiction of the tiger as a cowardly beast is wholly contrary to any concept ERB had of the magnificent carnivores, and the actions and motivations of Kipling's creatures have little or nothing to do with reality. Pythons can travel as fast as panthers. Jackals are full of knowledge and mischief. Wolves trade verbal barbs with Tigers.
ERB created a jungle and a hero which are acceptable and believable in an adult story, with a bit of faith. He was very careful to avoid "humanizing" his creatures. Even the mangani are brutal, slow-witted, savage beasts.
The plots, descriptions, themes, characters, beasts, and other aspects of these books are so markedly different that any contention that Tarzan of the Apes was influenced to any measurable degree by Kipling is simply not supported by the books themselves. The concept of Mowgli himself might have been an influence, along with other feral children in fictional history; and the concept that a book about a feral child was published and made money might have been an even larger influence; but these influences would have existed whether or not ERB actually read the Kipling stories. Kipling's prose, however, certainly had nothing to do with ERB's Tarzan of the Apes; as I read the books; and I find Fenton's assertions comparable to those of a researcher who decides to prove something with statistics and then finds scattered statistics which when taken out of context seem to establish facts and inferences; but which, when examined in the light of logic and context, establish virtually nothing of substance.
I do tend to be skeptical of those who purport to tell me things which I can decide for myself; and often find, as I did in this instance, that such skepticism is justified. In my view Fenton's inferences go far beyond anything which is justified by the specific prose which he sets forth, and the misinformation is compounded by his failure to acknowlege the vast differences in nearly every aspect of the prose in these respective books.


A historic preservation student's chronicling of current issues and research.
I recently came across this article from the Washington Business Journal on Facebook, and my interest was immediately piqued. A new "smart city" project will begin in Ashburn, the first of its kind in the area, and will be called the Gramercy District. I began to wonder what kind of impact this would have on the area that I know to be so full of natural and cultural resources.
Fortunately, Loudoun has long taken pride in its resources and does well to preserve them. They have a Green Infrastructure plan in place to guide all land development and redevelopment in the county. Not a lot is known about the American Indian tribes who resided on the land before European colonists settled in the area. The location where Gramercy District is planned to be built could very well hold many significant archaeological resources, not to mention the historical landscape, as well as its diverse ecology.
Smart cities are certainly an asset to their communities and may prove to be an economic boost to the surrounding area. Gramercy District plans to be right next to the Ashburn Metro Station Plaza, the final stop on the Silver Line of the DC Metrorail system; thousands of people will have to pass through it every day. After the district is built, it's feasible to assume more development will spring up around it such as in Brambleton, another nearby community.
There is a fine balance between preservation and progress.As preservationists, we instinctively want to protect natural, ecological, and heritage resources, but we can't be so stringent as to impede positive progress. The residents of Loudoun County are lucky to have a government that values its resources the way it does.
What's your opinion? I'd like to know what you think about the preservation vs. progress debate.
I found this article shared on Facebook and it was very interesting. I thought I'd share it and get your take. Lots of thoughts go through my head about the future of digital history, and what that will mean for memes like the "Ermahgerd" girl. The repository for memes, KnowYourMeme, and other sites like it (perhaps even giphy), will be a great source of information to those studying current Internet culture. Trends are so fleeting, however, that this may be a blip on the radar to future historians.
I've created a blogger site for what I've dubbed the Digges Valley Farm Ruins. Check it out!
This is a work in progress - as I continue my research for Historic Archaeology I hope to add a lot more to the site. There is a solid foundation now with a lot of great information on the ruins and the people who owned the land. Feel free to comment with suggestions, ideas, or questions!
When I think of digital history I often wonder how on earth historians are going to muck through all the insurmountable stuff that's on the internet. "Stuff" is the only way I can describe the innumerable Facebook posts, instagram photos, tweets, snaps, screenshots, Periscopes (something I only learned about the other day), and any other debris and shrapnel of the battlefield of social media. That doesn't even include emails, internet ads, YouTube videos, or blog posts. What's important? Who decides? How will these things be saved?
Research will have to completely change if the topic covers anything to do with the Internet. There will have to be vast databases to hold all of the information. With the presence of databases must come a system of organization and classification. Hopefully search engines will be much more effective in the future to aid researchers.
One thing that concerns me about the future of digital history is how things will be saved. It may be easier to trace the Facebook posts and Tweets of important political figures, such as during this year's presidential race, but what of the average person? Diaries and letters exist from past generations, but what will be left from the Web 2.0 era? Too easily one can lose that article they remember reading, or that funny picture they once saw (don't even get me started on attributing credit to authors on the internet, it's near impossible in most cases). People change email addresses, delete old emails for storage space, and hyperlinks get broken as pages are moved or changed to make room for the new. Many times a conscious effort has to be made in order to save something online, and there must be a designated place to save it in its original form. Will mobile versions of websites also be saved? And phone apps?
One thing is for certain: the future of digital history will be very interesting as scholars try their hardest to keep up with the ever-evolving cybersphere.
Yesterday I uploaded five photos to the Northern Virginia Digital History Archive. I wanted to show a mixture some of the changes and developments in Northern Virginia I've seen as well as how our history has been influenced by these changes, and how we coexist with our history. The site was very easy to use. It took me more time figuring out which pictures I wanted to upload than to actually submit them to the archives!
One of the first photos I submitted was one I located online while doing research for my project. It was through Google Earth, and located in an area I'm almost positive belonged to the Grubb family. It's a log cabin on Ash George Road in Loudoun County, and may have been built by Benjamin Grubb in 1847. It is still inhabited and, as you can see from the photo, has been maintained and updated over the years. I would sincerely like to do more research on this dwelling when I have the time.
Another photo I submitted was taken at the water feature in Fairfax Corner, an open air shopping center located in Fairfax County near Fair Oaks Mall. Behind the water feature is the movie theater, designed in a modern neoclassical style. In the warmer months you can see lots of children playing in the water feature or riding the train around the center plaza. There is often family friendly live entertainment on the weekends.
This photo reminded me of how historic architecture styles are still used to generate nostalgia or create a certain ambiance. You can see this in the new row houses that were built in Historic Occoquan right on the waterfront. The townhomes are completely modern on the inside, but ornate and Victorian on the outside.
After uploading pictures of the new, I wanted to go back to the old. While searching for inspiration I came upon the Stone House at Manassas Battlefield Park. I wanted to show just how close the structure is to the main highway and new traffic light and crosswalk that has been put in within the last few years, reminiscent of the U.S. Capitol gatehouses in Washington, D.C., in the way that the city has grown and developed around them. There is always a steady stream of traffic right in front of the house at the intersection of Highway 29 and Route 234 in Manassas.
Finally, I uploaded a photo of a historic marker located at the Walney Visitor Center in Chantilly, in Ellanor C. Lawrence Park. This marker was placed there in 2007 by a local chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. As much as Northern Virginia has grown and developed in the past few decades, it's encouraging to see people remembering the past.
What made this assignment difficult was that none of these photos were taken by me. I tried to find a source for each photo in order to give credit, but wasn't always successful. I would have much rather used my own personal photos to submit, but was unable to at the time.
I have been busy at work researching the "Grubb farm ruins" in Loudoun County, Virginia. Fortunately the Thomas Balch Library in Leesburg is a treasure trove of information, as well as help. I've looked through the archives of the Library of Virginia, as well, to study chancery records of one of the land owners in the 1850s. Aerial photographs and old maps have been wonderful in locating the property before I was ever able to set foot on it. Perhaps the most interesting, though, is that I have yet to be able to connect the name Grubb to the property. So far, I've been able to trace the ownership of the parcel of land in Digges Valley back to it's original sale from Lord Fairfax to a Mr. George Atwood in 1737, when the land was still part of Prince William County (Loudoun County formed in 1757 out of Fairfax, which formed out of Prince William County in 1742).
The Grubb family was a large family in Loudoun County that originally came to the colonies from England in the mid-1600s and settled in Delaware. The founding family member's grandson, William Grubb, came to the area in the 1760s. There is a property in present day West Virginia, south of Charles Town, that has been nominated for the National Register of Historic Places and called the William Grubb House. Another branch of the family settled there when William came to present day Loudoun. His progeny prospered during the mid-1800s and were divided by the politics of the Civil War.
At the moment, I'm continuing my research on how the land passed from owner to owner, what the land was used for (agricultural censuses), and if I can find any information on when the structures were built and by whom. I would love to get out to the site in order to take pictures if I'm able to get permission from the current land owner. If I'm not able to reach him before the project is due, another student who did a field study of the site this past summer has kindly said she will send me photos that I can use.
What is and isn't real?
In digital history the reality of subjects is often overlooked. What is real? What is not real? What makes something real versus not-real?
When I was a little girl I was in love with the American Girl Dolls. Samantha was a character who grew up in 1904, and Felicity grew up in 1774. I was fascinated by the stories surrounding Samantha and Felicity, every one filled with bits of historical truth about the time periods they lived in. What made it real for me was applying things I learned from those books to real life. My parents gave me a Samantha Cook Book with recipes from 1904. I made these special biscuits all by myself following the recipe, and my dad even got me an old fashioned flour sifter to use to make it feel a bit more authentic. In one Felicity book I remembered her entertaining her younger siblings by mixing a bit of soap with water in a shell and using a reed to blow bubbles. I recreated this using a bowl, a bit of dish detergent, and a straw. I was able to use my imagination to put myself into Samantha and Felicity's shoes. I believe that's what can make history real for some people.
On the other hand, look at how popular Colonial Williamsburg and Historic Jamestown are. Visitors are able to reconnect with the past by seeing the clothes and tools, smelling the animals and cooking fires, hearing the interpreters talk about their daily lives, and touching the recreated village. At the Frontier Culture Museum in Staunton, Virginia, visitors can walk through actual dwellings that were taken apart in their original locations in Europe and reassembled on site to show the change in building styles in the Shenandoah Valley and how they were influenced by the immigrants' cultures. As a visitor you see the woodwork, the brick ovens, the narrow staircases, the plaster walls, and many historically accurate reproduction (or period) furniture pieces. Even though a lot of these things are recreations of what it would have been like in the 17th and 18th centuries, and not actually the historic object itself, does that make it any less real? If a little girl put on a costume styled to look just like her favorite American Girl doll's garb, would that not make it real for her?
One part of digital history that is possibly the most difficult when speaking of what is real and not real is written documents. Paper, over time, becomes very fragile and needs to be preserved - therefore, not many people have the opportunity to hold very old original documents, especially not with their bare hands. It can be very difficult to fully grasp a concept or put it into context if you cannot see what it would have originally looked like on paper. I was recently looking up old land deeds and came across many abstracts and indexes for these historic records. I found some transcripts of deeds as well. It was very difficult for me to fully understand the age of what I was reading (from 1619!), even with the old spellings and language. Perhaps if I were able to see a facsimile or scanned digital copy of the document, then I could have seen the handwriting of the clerk, and understood it in a deeper way.
I believe there are many levels of what can be real and not-real, and it could differ from person to person. For some, simply reading a transcript could be enough to make something real in their minds. Others may need a reproduction or image of the actual object to make the connection. There is a site called Digital Karnak that has computer generated images of the hieroglyphics and layout of the sacred site in a way that a visitor can explore an area that is almost non-existent anymore. When I looked at just one part of the temple wall, I was amazed at how many hieroglyphs would have been in one area, and how the grouping could tell of special ceremonies and rituals. Seeing this digital representation, being able to click and zoom in on the glyphs, made it more real to me.
While there are some disadvantages to having a simple *.pdf transcript of a historical document, there are many other ways digital technology has of making something more "real." Digital history must remember to always put things into context as much as possible and within whatever limits the current digital project has.
I'm a student and lover of historic preservation and digital history. I like sharing preservation news and information about local historic sites. This will primarily be used to blog about the classes I'm taking now and the projects I'll be working on: Introduction to Digital History and Historic Archaeology.

Q: Add more degrees everytime you click I want to add more degrees of rotation to #rad-spin every time someone clicks on #rad-btn
  $(document).ready(function(){
    $("#rad-btn").click(function(){
        $("#rad-spin").css("transform", "rotate(90deg)");
    });
});

Now it just goes one time to 90deg and if I click again it won't go further to 180deg (obviously). That's what I want.. Anyone knows how to do this?

A: *

*By lexical scope, you can do this.By this, keep the outer value index.
$(document).ready(function(){
  var index = 0
  $("#rad-btn").click(function(){
    index++
    $("#rad-spin").css("transform", "rotate(" + 90 * index + "deg)");
  });
});

*By data- and $.data, you can save the info in the DOM.
$(document).ready(function(){
  $("#rad-spin").data('index', 0)
  $("#rad-btn").click(function(){
    var index = $("#rad-spin").data('index')
    $("#rad-spin").data('index', ++index)
    $("#rad-spin").css("transform", "rotate(" + 90 * index + "deg)");
  });
});

A: Just store the angle somewhere.

$(document).ready(function(){
    var angle = 0;
    $("#rad-btn").click(function(){
        angle+=720;
        $("#rad-spin").css("transform", "rotate("+angle+"deg)");
        $(this).prop('disabled',true).delay(2000).queue(()=>$(this).prop('disabled',false).dequeue());
    });
});
#rad-spin{
  transition: transform 2s;
  position: absolute;
  top: 150px;
  left: 50px;
  }

<button id='rad-btn'>v. rad</button>

spin me round and round

Occupational therapists play a vital role in helping individuals with a concussion, considered a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), return to the daily activities that they need and want to do. Many adults with a traumatic brain injury (TBI) experience cognitive impairments that impact their ability to perform meaningful activities or fulfil their necessary roles at home, work, or school. Occupational therapists can assist clients in restoring, accommodating, or compensating for these cognitive impairments, that can affect one's memory, attention, concentration, judgement, and executive function. Executive function includes planning, decision-making, problem-solving, and flexibility, among other processes. Research supports many cognitive interventions for individuals experiencing deficits in these processes post-concussion, and occupational therapists are well positioned to provide cognitive interventions supported by evidence.
A systematic review by Randomski, Anheluk, Bartzen, & Zola (2016) reported there is strong evidence to support the use of direct attention training, dual-task training, and strategy training to optimize executive functioning, encoding, and use of memory compensations, including assistive technology. They also reported occupational therapy intervention using cognitive remediation and strategy instruction approaches should be provided to adults with TBI. Occupational therapy practitioners are well positioned to lead this area of service delivery, within interdisciplinary clinical settings, such as The Armoury Sports Medicine & Performance Clinic. Our Registered Occupational Therapist, Jocelyn Schubert OT Reg. (Ont.), assists clients with cognitive changes associated with traumatic brain injury to remediate and compensate for these challenges, so they can return to their roles at home, work, and school.

TThe night accommodation was at hotel Mikiligardur, Sæmundarhlíð, Sauðárkrókur. It is also a hostel turned hotel during summer. We pulled in to the hotel in the rain.
Sauðárkrókur is a town in Skagafjörður in northern Iceland and a part of the municipality of Skagafjörður. Sauðárkrókur is the largest town in Northwest Iceland and the second-largest town on the north coast of Iceland, with a population of 2,572.
The hotel was cozy and the hotel staff who are students working part time during their summer holidays welcomed us with great service. We had a twin and triple room and all with attached bath.
This hotel was booked as part of a package we took from icelandroadtrip.com. We were checked in by Louise and she was very friendly, helpful and patient. She gave recommendations on where to eat and what to do. She also lent me a kettle and advised on the laundry. We paid 1000ISK for a load of 5kg.
Hotel was quite big. There was also a sitting area just outside our rooms. Hotel room generally was alright as it came with attached bath. Room was spacious and clean. Breakfast was adequate to start the day.
Would recommend this hotel to anyone staying in that area.
Hotel is situated near to the town so meals were not a problem.
Town is decorated with colourful houses and buildings.
Sauðárkrókur Church - There is at least 1 church in each town.
We settled for Hard Wok Café, our 2nd Thai restaurant for dinner. Total Bill was S$189.49.

I'm using the V2 (BETA 1) firmware, but can't seem to connect in Wireshark?
When I connect to a Central device, I don't see any connection data, but when I disconnect I see the advertising packets again. How do I capture data with a connected peripheral?
This is a limitation of the sniffer firmware from Nordic. Advertising in Bluetooth Low Energy happens on three dedicated channels, each running at it's own frequency. For the sniffer to 'follow' the connection it needs to be looking at the right channel when the connection happens, and there is a 2/3 chance that it is looking at another channel at any given moment.
To capture the connection and see data exchanges post connection, you may need to connect several times until the channels are aligned between the sniffer and the BLE peripheral+central devices.
How do I convert between Sniffer and Bluefruit LE firmware using SWD?
Why isn't the Firmware V1 plugin working in Wireshark?
The Sniffer Firmware V1 plugin was written for Wireshark 1.12.x and won't work with older versions of the tool or the new 2.x family. Be sure to download an appropriate version (for example 1.12.1, which is the version used in this guide).
Why am I being warned my Sniffer V1 firmware is out of data but updates fail?
The Adafruit board has a small difference compared to the original Nordic HW that Nordic wrote their sniffer firmware for. To keep the cost as low as possible, we don't populate the optional 32.768KHz RTC crystal on our boards, whereas it is present on the more expensive Nordic development kit.
Because the startup code in the sniffer firmware from Nordic uses this crystal, we had to request a custom version from Nordic that uses the internal 16MHz RC oscillator instead. When providing us the custom firmware, they changed the version number slightly, which is the reason for the warning message.
You can safely ignore the firmware update warning and use the device as normal, and in fact updating to a firmware from Nordic won't work unless you also solder the optional 32.768KHz crystal on the bottom of your PCB as well.
How can I check that the sniffer is outputting data?
If you think there is a problem with your sniffer, you should look at the LED closest to the black SWD connector box at the end of the board. It should flash every time Bluetooth Low Energy activity is detected when the serial port is open.
What is the difference between blue boards and black board)?
The Black boards (hardware v3) uses the much cheaper CP2104 USB to Serial bridge, and drops the SWD connector which had to be manually placed during the manufacturing process. This allows us to offer the sniffer board at a significant discount compared to the original, without sacrificing functionality that 99% of customers required. (The SWD pins are still available as pads on the bottom of the PCB if you need them!).
If you have a Black board - you definitely have hardware version 3. You may have firmware version 1 or version 2 depending on when you purchased it. Check your order receipt to know!

One of the easiest ways to make an event successful is to offer something a little bit special and personal. There is is big difference between 'French cooking class' and 'Discover the secret of a perfect maigret de canard', or 'Walking tour of Alcala de Henares' and 'Walk in the footsteps of Cervantes'.
When thinking about an event, the best place to start is 'what would you want to do?' or 'what would make it interesting for me?'. Once you have a good idea, talk to friends and ask them for an honest opinion.
Speak english and love cooking, why not offer a cooking class in english so your participants can discover great recipes, while improving their language skills?
You know an artists or a photographer. Why not become a gallerist for a night and hold an art exhibit at your place?
You are a biologist, why not organise a hike in the countryside for kids to discover some nature?
You are a chef in a restaurant and would like to offer something different, why not organise a 'clandestine' dinner in a private home?


Last Saturday, I had the chance to participate in the multilingualism event at the Weston Park museum, which was organised by the British science association in collaboration with the society of Spanish researchers in the UK and the University of Sheffield. In addition to engaging and inspiring young children through hands-on activities, one principal objective of the event was to make the general public aware of the many benefits of being multilingual. Representing our lab, I carried out a short working memory experiment with the help of Alex Wolf from the Department of Chemistry. We asked people to do the memory task twice: the first time, rehearsing the items in their second language and the second time in their native language. The idea was to show them that working memory performance depends on language since they will tend to memorise things better when rehearsing with their first language. We also screened a short video giving tips on language learning, which was made by colleagues from the Languages and Cultures School.
Personally, I was amazed to see people of different ages and background craving to learn new things and to engage with the science. I also enjoyed discussing and sharing funny stories about language with different people. I even had the chance to learn some basics about the Chinese writing system!


Place the butter, lemon juice, thyme and a good pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl. Mix with a spoon to combine. Cover and set aside. Mix with a spoon to combine. Cover and set aside.... Chef John's lemon-caper butter sauce, flavored with summer savory, is the perfect accompaniment to sauteed sole.
About 2 weeks ago, I woke up and remembered that my Aunt Renee had asked me if I had a Chicken with Lemon Butter Sauce recipe. I make lemon chicken all the time, many different ways. This is my all time favorite recipe!!! So flavorful! I added fresh broccoli and cauliflower to the pan with the chicken, then poured on the sauce and baked. SO GOOD! Carrie's Experimental Kitchen. December 20... The next step is to make a quick 5-minute butter, garlic, wine, lemon sauce in a sauce pan on the stove top. Pour the lemon butter sauce in the bottom of a 13 x 9 baking dish. Pour the lemon butter sauce in the bottom of a 13 x 9 baking dish.
The lemon butter sauce consists of fresh minced parsley, garlic, butter and lemon juice. You can add the garlic to taste or leave it out all together. I typically use parsley but I sometimes will use a little basil as well.... Have Crispy Lemon Garlic Butter Scallops on your table in less than 10 minutes, coated in a deliciously silky lemon garlic butter sauce! Cheaper than going out to a restaurant and just as good as chef made scallops! They are the ultimate treat!
Directions. In the top of a double boiler over boiling water, melt butter. Stir in sugar, eggs, lemon juice and zest. Cook over simmering water for 1 hour or until mixture is thickened and coats the back of a spoon.
7/12/2018 · Lemon butter has two definitions. It can refer to cold butter in sticks or whipped that has actually been flavored with lemon and sugar. More commonly it refers to lemon butter sauce or meuniere, a wonderful tart, creamy and savory sauce that can be used to top a variety of different dishes.


Now let's talk about the way the leadership selects policy alternatives.
Now, one thing we can think about is where do these alternative policies come from.
The leadership has made a decision, it's got a problem and it's got to resolve it.
So put it on the agenda.
So it then says all right, what are we going to do?
And it starts to look around.
particularly China could look to try and come up with some solutions.
Many of those solutions could come from overseas.
talking to people in the World Bank and letting the World Bank do studies for it.
Second could be looking back to the recent past.
A lot of it being pre-cultural revolution reforms.
They try and redo them now that it's post cultural revolution.
talked to leaders and shared information.
Sometimes the peasants just were carrying out experiments.
then they try and spread it out around the country.
that the policy was being successful before it could be spread.
We've seen this graph before, but I really like it.
returning between 1951 and 1965.
the peak was about 2,000, 2,100 students going there.
And this was an enormous opportunity for China to learn from abroad.
the 1950s as these people would return to China.
running universities and science and technologies.
particularly from Hungary, which began its reforms around 1975.
there are also opportunities for people to go abroad.
The United Nations Development Program was very active, once China rejoined the UN.
would become the leader of China and Zhu Rongji who be his Prime Minister.
Sri Lanka, and Rotterdam to study export zones.
as a way of promoting Chinese economy and to use export led growth.
using that, selling them abroad, has the first big boost for the economy.
They learned that from the World Bank.
China, and outlining the rule that trade could play.
China and advise the Chinese how to take advantage of this opportunity.
reform meetings that really spill into the third plenum meeting.
Now, there's also people could learn from previous experiences.
but if he didn't like them, they were stopped.
had said it's okay to divide up the land and let farmers farm on their own.
But Mao opposed that as a turning back on Socialism.
Mao is dead and so the peasants just started to divide up the land themselves.
his supporters just said shh, okay let them go forward.
Let's see what they can do.
Mao is not going to be there to stop us.
So this was carried out in the areas.
Another example was special economic zones.
they had been tried out also in the 1960s in Guangdong as export processing zones.
And so we see them resurrected in the late 1970s.
So it's both overseas and their some previous experience.
we often find that there is competition among the bureaucracies.
we can solve the problem and give us the resources.
Now, we can see as I mean that worked out okay.
1990s because ministries fought with each other over the right to run that policy.
they could get some percentage for management.
that would really empower that bureau, and so the ministry.
they were ever able to decide which ministry would have the right to do that.
And in the end they shared it among several ministries.
as a constraint on the selection of different policies.
publicly it is never called what it actually is.
the ideological attacks from the Left would just be very great.
machinery or the distribution of state-owned enterprises.
They were never referred to as privatization.
And the same thing for de-collectivization.
because as we know, Mao had criticized that back in 1962.
were farming it to be more productive, nothing about their ownership rights.
Jiang's admin in 1997 through 1998.
the growth of the productive forces.
It was never called privatization, because the Left would have attacked it.
to attack the policy based on some kind of change of ownership rights.

Q: Greensock GSAP: Translating CSS cubic-bezier to GSAP Looking at the bezier plugin, http://greensock.com/docs/#/HTML5/GSAP/Plugins/BezierPlugin/
It doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
I couldn't translate my CSS cubic-bezier of cubic-bezier(0.7,0,0.3,1) to GSAP using that plugin.
How would you do that?
Cheers,
V.

A: The administrator from GSAP has replied me.
They told me bezier plugin is for animating values along a bezier path.
I will have to resort to the predefined, power1, power2, power3, power4 etc built in easing.
Or pay to be a Greensock member and use the customease plugin
https://greensock.com/customease

Solution:
Some kind folks out there has made a plugin for the translation.
https://github.com/gre/bezier-easing
TweenLite.to("#yourElement", 1, {x:100, ease:new Ease(BezierEasing(0.7,0,0.3,1))});
