Brattleboro archeology project adds to historical narrative of mill workers

BRATTLEBORO — Archeology along the recently restored floodplain on Birge Street helps illustrate the rich industrial history of Brattleboro.

"This research conducted has proven to be a valuable dataset that contributes, in many ways, to shaping the historical narrative of mill workers in Vermont," said Danielle Duguid, project manager and principal investigator with Hartgen Archeological Associates. "Most importantly, it's added direct ties to the families who toiled and prospered living in the lumber yard of the Holden & Martin sawmill."

In a virtual event Thursday, Duguid presented information about her group's discoveries. Hartgen was hired for archeological work of the floodplain restoration project now known as Kikitta Ahki, with funding from the town, Vermont River Conservancy and Vermont Emergency Management. The Brattleboro Historical Society provided information.

Duguid said the archeological site was initially identified during test excavations in 2018 during archeological permitting for the floodplain restoration project.

"The plans for the larger project involve removing many feet of modern and historic fill across the 12 acres of the floodplain to allow natural flooding of the area and prevent catastrophic flooding from overflowing into the rest of downtown Brattleboro, which had occurred in 2011 following Hurricane Irene," she said. "Large scale archeological excavations and research are conducted to preserve as much of the information as possible before the site gets destroyed by the planned development or construction. The information and knowledge that's gained from this effort is then gathered into a large report, discussed with community and given to museums to preserve the history for future generations."

Duguid said indigenous peoples began to set up permanent settlements and built villages in the study area. Her group found a few small fragments of stone tools they used.

Brooks traveling the Connecticut River "provided ease of transportation and more importantly hydropower for the 18th and 19th century settlers along the Whetstone Brook," Duguid said.

"Dozens of saw mills, woolen factories, tanneries and other water powered industries began to pop up during the 18th and 19th century," she said. "Subsequent mill operations ran adjacent to the study area from the 1830s to the 1960s as well as in many more other locations."

John Birge, who the street was named for, constructed a woolen mill in 1838. It changed hands over the years.

In the 19th century, David and Catherine Leahy bought 8 acres of the meadow right next to a mill to build their home. The Irish immigrant couple ended up splitting up, and their land and house were sold to the up-and-coming Holden & Martin Milling Company in 1904. The home housed families employed at the mill.

"With a reputation of investing in their employees," Duguid said of Holden & Martin, "they applauded themselves on providing reasonable priced worker housing throughout Brattleboro, utilizing a rent-to-own model for any of their housing and never defaulting on a loan."

Duguid counted a total of 5,968 architectural artifacts found by her group during excavations. They included wooden beams, slate shingles, window glass, nails, hardware and bricks. These materials "vastly outnumbered the domestic and personal assemblages," Duguid said.

A total of 4,300 nails were catalogued. They're "actually particularly useful for historic archeologists as the shapes and sizes are diagnostic," Duguid said.

Slate discovered by her group was "definitely local to the area," Duguid said. They made the determination based off its color.

"Faunal remains were found throughout the site as well, helping archeologists understand what the families at the Leahy home were consuming," she said. "Through looking at the bones, researchers can determine the species and also examine cut marks and butcher marks for information about how animals were processed."

Duguid said bones from cattle, pig, sheep, goat and horse bones were identified in the approximately 300 final remains analyzed.

Personal items discovered included tobacco pipe stems, leather shoes, children's toys, burnt vinyl records and a rosary. Duguid suggested the large number of toys at the site may indicate they were used to distract families from the dangers of the nearby mill.

Saving What’s Precious

The World Monuments Fund is an organization _____________works to preserve important historical and architectural sites ____________ the world. Every two years, the WMF releases a list of sites ______________ particular danger of becoming ruins, and in 2014, it chose 67 sites in 41 countries. As this is a problem I feel strongly about, I decided to find______________ more about some of these places ___________ my blog.

My first discovery was the Fort of Graca, in Elvas, Portugal. Built in the 18th century, this superb military building played an important role in several wars. However, the building’s strategic importance declined over the years and signs of decay are now appearing. Today, the WMF supports the continued maintenance of the fort, and plans to reuse it as a tourism center.

My research then led me to the Sankore Mosque in Timbuktu, Mali, West Africa. Built in the 14th century, the mosque was integral to the city’s importance as a spiritual and intellectual center in the 15th and 16th centuries. Today, the mosque is vulnerable to fighting and rapid urbanization in the region. The WMF hopes to draw attention to this, and to protect this precious monument.

My online journey then took me to the Christ Church Cathedral in Zanzibar, Tanzania, East Africa. Completed in 1879, the Cathedral’s exquisite design makes its history difficult to take in: it lies on the site of what was, until 1873, a major slave market. The Cathedral is now both a place of worship and a memorial to the slaves who suffered there. Recently, large cracks appeared in the Cathedral’s walls. However, with the help of the WMF, they are now repaired.

A very special site on my list was the Damiya Dolmen Field in Jordan, home to 300 stone tombs which date back to 3600 BC. The Damiya Field is in danger of collapse due to mining in the area. However, thanks to pressure from the WMF, the Jordanian government is taking steps to protect it.

Lastly, I found out about the 19th century Alhambra Palace in Santiago, Chile. It replicates parts of the 13th century Alhambra palace in Spain, and, until a major earthquake hit the country in 2010, existed as a cultural institution supporting artists. The effects of the earthquake, together with old age and weather, made the building unsafe and it is currently closed. The WMF hopes that its involvement with the palace can help it to open to the public once again.
Analyze the sentences according to structure and grammar use.
1. “The WMF hopes that its involvement with the palace can help it to open to the public once again.” In the negative form becomes “The WMF don’t hope that its involvement with the palace can’t help it to open to the public once again.”
2. The following verbs built, led, took, and found has their infinitive forms as build, lead, take, find.
3. The plural form of the words “My first discovery was the…” are “Our first discoverys were the…”
4. The word vulnerable in “Today, the mosque is vulnerable to fighting and rapid urbanization in the region.” can be replaced by endangered without changing its meaning.
5. The (‘s) in “…the city’s importance…”, is an example of the genitive case.
Choose the alternative which presents the correct sentences.

What's the best way to learn receptive skills?

Miranda Hamilton

July 26, 2021


We often think of speaking and writing as the most challenging of the four language skills but what about the receptive skills? With reading, learners have time to think, but listening in another language presents a very different set of challenges for the learner. How often have we heard learners complain ‘it’s too fast, teacher!’? So how can you help?


Some guides are designed to help teachers understand the subskills of listening, with activities, tips and strategies to help you develop your learners’ listening skills as they prepare for their exams.


Here are just a few of the ideas from the guides for you to try with your learners. They will work at all levels.


How many words?


This micro listening is a great activity to try towards the end of your listening lesson, when learners have already heard the recording, so they know the speakers’ voices and the topic.


• Select a short phrase, of around 10 words, from the listening you have just completed. Set up the audio so you are ready to press ‘Play’.

• Tell the learners to listen and count the number of words they hear. You will need to play the audio several times. Pairs discuss. Take a range of answers from the class, but don’t tell them the answer just yet.

• Write the phrase on the board and count the number of words with the class. Who was the closest?

• Now ask them to listen and read the phrase at the same time. This time they have to decide which words they hear most clearly, in other words, you want them to notice the stressed words. Ask why they think they heard these words most clearly. Explain that stressed words carry the key information.


This micro listening activity helps raise learners’ awareness of sounds, helping them notice the stressed words and preparing them to listen for key information.


Support every learner

In mixed-ability classes, put a few simple strategies in place so the whole class can listen to the same recording, and take part in the same activity. This means that no learner feels lost or left behind.


• Make the gap-fill or sentence-completion task more achievable and supply the first letter of the missing word. Alternatively supply the first and the final letter and indicate how many letters the missing word has.

• Provide an additional layer of support for weaker learners by giving them the audio script. They can read the script as they listen and use it to help them find the correct answers.


Prepare to listen, prepare to understand


Don’t be in too much of a hurry to hand out the listening task and press ‘Play’. Time spent in class before listening means learners are better prepared to understand.


• Before you listen, have a class discussion around the topic of the listening. This gives learners the opportunity not only to practice their speaking, but also to practice listening to one another. A good discussion will make them think about the main ideas they might hear when they listen. • Useful vocabulary always comes out of a class discussion, creating a very natural way to pre-teach vocabulary before they listen. Useful language linked to a discussion is easier to learn because learners have a context, which makes it easier to remember than pre-teaching vocabulary from a wordlist.

• Take your time to discuss the task and check understanding. Encourage the class to reflect on their discussion and predict the answers. Remember to write their predictions on the board. Did they guess correctly? It doesn’t matter if they did or not, what matters is that they are prepared and ready to listen to see if they were right.


Feeling prepared to listen means learners feel confident and ready to understand, both in the classroom and in their exam.

EUA vetam apelo do Conselho de Segurança por "pausa humanitária" na guerra entre Israel e Hamas



Por Caitlin Hu e Richard Roth, CNN Atualizado às 14h41 EDT, quarta-feira, 18 de outubro de 2023




Os Estados Unidos vetaram um projeto de resolução no Conselho de Segurança da ONU que pedia uma pausa humanitária na Gaza sitiada, gerando mais críticas à paralisia política no poderoso organismo global.

O breve projeto de resolução, proposto pelo Brasil, condenou os ataques terroristas de 7 de outubro em Israel pelo grupo militante palestino Hamas, que mataram mais de 1.400 pessoas, e pediu a libertação dos reféns.

O documento também apelou a todas as partes para que cumpram o direito internacional e protejam as vidas civis na Faixa de Gaza, controlada pelo Hamas, em meio a uma feroz retaliação por parte de aviões de guerra israelenses. A comunidade internacional deve planejar "pausas humanitárias" nos combates para permitir a entrega de ajuda, afirmou.

Doze dos 15 membros do conselho aprovaram o projeto na quarta-feira, com a abstenção do Reino Unido e da Rússia, e o veto dos EUA.

Falando após a votação, a embaixadora dos EUA na ONU, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, explicou que os EUA queriam mais tempo para deixar a diplomacia americana em campo "se desenrolar". Os EUA já haviam adiado a votação da resolução.

Thomas-Greenfield também criticou o texto por não mencionar o direito de Israel à autodefesa — um ponto posteriormente ecoado pela representante britânica Barbara Woodward.

Desde os ataques do Hamas, Israel vem bombardeando Gaza, controlada pelo Hamas, com ataques aéreos. Também cortou o acesso de 2 milhões de pessoas aos enclaves, incluindo alimentos, água e eletricidade.

Mais de 3.000 pessoas morreram nos ataques israelenses — incluindo mais de 1.000 crianças e dezenas de trabalhadores humanitários — e especialistas da ONU estão alertando sobre um desastre generalizado se a água e a eletricidade não forem restauradas.

Em Nova York, vários membros do Conselho de Segurança expressaram decepção e frustração pelo fracasso de uma declaração conjunta sobre a importância da ajuda e da proteção civil.

“Infelizmente, muito tristemente, o conselho mais uma vez não conseguiu adotar uma resolução sobre esses conflitos. Mais uma vez, o silêncio e a inação prevaleceram. Sem o verdadeiro interesse de longo prazo de ninguém”, disse o Embaixador da ONU no Brasil, Sergio Franca Danese, após o veto.

O Conselho de Segurança "perdeu uma oportunidade", disse o representante francês Nicolas de Rivière à imprensa após a votação. "Lamentamos profundamente que este texto tenha sido rejeitado", disse ele.

Falando ao conselho, a embaixadora dos Emirados Árabes Unidos, Lana Nusseibah, disse que a resolução não era um "texto perfeito", mas que seu país votou a favor dela "porque ela declara claramente os princípios básicos que devem ser mantidos e que este Conselho é obrigado a reforçar e defender.

EUA vetam apelo do Conselho de Segurança por "pausa humanitária" na guerra entre Israel e Hamas



Por Caitlin Hu e Richard Roth, CNN Atualizado às 14h41 EDT, quarta-feira, 18 de outubro de 2023




Os Estados Unidos vetaram um projeto de resolução no Conselho de Segurança da ONU que pedia uma pausa humanitária na Gaza sitiada, gerando mais críticas à paralisia política no poderoso organismo global.

O breve projeto de resolução, proposto pelo Brasil, condenou os ataques terroristas de 7 de outubro em Israel pelo grupo militante palestino Hamas, que mataram mais de 1.400 pessoas, e pediu a libertação dos reféns.

O documento também apelou a todas as partes para que cumpram o direito internacional e protejam as vidas civis na Faixa de Gaza, controlada pelo Hamas, em meio a uma feroz retaliação por parte de aviões de guerra israelenses. A comunidade internacional deve planejar "pausas humanitárias" nos combates para permitir a entrega de ajuda, afirmou.

Doze dos 15 membros do conselho aprovaram o projeto na quarta-feira, com a abstenção do Reino Unido e da Rússia, e o veto dos EUA.

Falando após a votação, a embaixadora dos EUA na ONU, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, explicou que os EUA queriam mais tempo para deixar a diplomacia americana em campo "se desenrolar". Os EUA já haviam adiado a votação da resolução.

Thomas-Greenfield também criticou o texto por não mencionar o direito de Israel à autodefesa — um ponto posteriormente ecoado pela representante britânica Barbara Woodward.

Desde os ataques do Hamas, Israel vem bombardeando Gaza, controlada pelo Hamas, com ataques aéreos. Também cortou o acesso de 2 milhões de pessoas aos enclaves, incluindo alimentos, água e eletricidade.

Mais de 3.000 pessoas morreram nos ataques israelenses — incluindo mais de 1.000 crianças e dezenas de trabalhadores humanitários — e especialistas da ONU estão alertando sobre um desastre generalizado se a água e a eletricidade não forem restauradas.

Em Nova York, vários membros do Conselho de Segurança expressaram decepção e frustração pelo fracasso de uma declaração conjunta sobre a importância da ajuda e da proteção civil.

“Infelizmente, muito tristemente, o conselho mais uma vez não conseguiu adotar uma resolução sobre esses conflitos. Mais uma vez, o silêncio e a inação prevaleceram. Sem o verdadeiro interesse de longo prazo de ninguém”, disse o Embaixador da ONU no Brasil, Sergio Franca Danese, após o veto.

O Conselho de Segurança "perdeu uma oportunidade", disse o representante francês Nicolas de Rivière à imprensa após a votação. "Lamentamos profundamente que este texto tenha sido rejeitado", disse ele.

Falando ao conselho, a embaixadora dos Emirados Árabes Unidos, Lana Nusseibah, disse que a resolução não era um "texto perfeito", mas que seu país votou a favor dela "porque ela declara claramente os princípios básicos que devem ser mantidos e que este Conselho é obrigado a reforçar e defender.

Na semana passada, a Rússia propôs outra resolução pedindo um cessar-fogo humanitário em Gaza, que também não foi aprovada.

O texto seguinte servirá de base para responder à questão.


(1º§) Over the summer a video went viral on TikTok. It was captioned "using this trend to get a new LinkedIn headshot". In the short clip, a young woman shows both how she looks in real life, and the professional-looking headshot photos that she created using an AI-powered app called Remini. The video has now been watched 52.3 million times, and a host of similar ones from other TikTokers have also been extensively viewed. Remini, and competitors such as Try It On AI and AI Suit Up, use AI-based software to create slick profile photos that aim to look as if they were taken by an expert photographer. With Remini you are asked to upload eight to 10 selfies, preferably taken from different angles, and all in good lighting. The AI uses those pictures to learn about the way you look.


(2º§) Then just a few minutes later it will start creating artificial photos of you looking very smart and even glamorous, with your hair in different styles or positions, and you wearing different clothes while sitting in perfect lighting. It also gives you faultless skin, and improves your make-up. Plus, you get different backdrops. And some users find that it makes them look thinner.


(3º§) The results are somewhat in the eye of the beholder - some say they are realistic, while others find that the images look artificial. But while previous online image manipulation trends, such as drastically changing your hair or eye colour, have been about having fun on social media, this one is very much focused on LinkedIn and other job hunting websites.


(4º§) For some the attraction of the AI services is that they are cheap. Divya Shishodia, 24, a digital marketer, from Australia, says that while AI headshots "are obviously generated, some people might not have the budget to go and get a professional headshot taken". While going to a professional photographer can cost more than £100, Remini and the other providers will generally give you free trials lasting a few days. "I'm not saying they're the most realistic, but for the amount of time and effort you have to put in... the output is worth it," says Ms Shishodia. She adds that, by contrast, if you try to take a decent profile photo yourself it can be very difficult. "You need angles, lighting, you are trying to avoid shadows... only actual photographers can do it." 


(5º§) For Michelle Genobisa, 26, from Aalborg, Denmark, it is the low to no cost of the AI generated profile photos that she is on board with. "I quite often change my looks, like my hair colour... so it was an easy way to collect some pictures with the effect of a professional photoshoot," she says. "To get that kind of photo taken, professionally, it's very expensive."


(6º§) Others are less impressed by the technology, such as Molly McCrann, a 25-year-old actor from Australia. "I just think it looks so fake, you can tell that it looks heavily edited, or it looks like AI," she says. "When I posted mine it made me look so skinny, and I don't look McCrann adds that she thinks it is probably better to show prospective employers what you actually look like.


(7º§) However, she is also prepared to see the other side of the argument. "Someone wrote a comment that I actually agree with - if this company is going to base off looks, I want to get in the room. And if this is going to get me in the room, then I am going to use AI headshots to get the interview." But what about the potential impact that AI-improved images can have on our self-esteem? Consumer psychologist Dr Paul Marsden says there are two sides to the issue. "On one hand it could allow us to put our best self forward, and the image of ourselves that we want to project to the world, and in turn motivate us to be that way inclined in real life," he tells the BBC. "The psychology of first impressions is how we make snap decisions based on initial impressions, and by using AI people can put themselves in the running to potentially be considered for an opportunity. On the other hand it could affect people's self-worth and beliefs that they themselves are not good enough comparatively to their AI generation resulting in low confidence.


(8º§) Do recruiters care? Tristan Barthel from London-based Tate Recruitment has seen a big rise in the number of people using AI to improve their photos. He says that it makes no difference in how he deals with a person's application. "I can see if a picture has been AI generated, and it wouldn't affect my decision, for me it's about the qualifications."

LOVE BOMB


Do you fall in love hard and fast? Three signs you're an emophiliac − & five ways to break the destructive lust cycle


 If this happens often, you may have emophilia, AKA a tendency to fall in love quickly and with just about anyone.


And experts warn it can have a negative impact on mental health, leaving people vulnerable and trapped in toxic relationships, or see them darting from one relationship to the next, constantly chasing the thrill of early attraction or that feeling of falling in love.


"When you first fall for someone, you get that rush of the feel-good hormone, serotonin," says Sarah Louise Ryan, dating and relationship expert, matchmaker and psychotherapist.


"This phase of romantic love is really the rose-tinted glasses phase. You are falling for the newness of these just-discovered feelings, just as much as you're falling for the actual person. This is because new and different people bring out different parts of us." 


There's nothing wrong with these emotions, though they do simmer down as we build a relationship.


"In reality, when that spark fades, that is when the real relationship begins," says Sarah.


"But those with emophilia don't ever want that feeling to fizzle out, which can lead them into a volatile position romantically. They either never fully commit and move on to the next partner, or they date multiple people to discover who they have the biggest spark with, all in search of the rush."


The emotional fallout from this pattern can be huge.


The good news is it's possible to stop and change your thinking and actions.


Love At First Sight?


But whatever happened to "love at first sight", you might wonder?


Genuine love at first sight is an instant attraction to someone you might share common values with, find intriguing and are physically attracted to.


It can be with someone who feels safe and calm.


But emophilia is falling in love with the feeling of lust, attention, validation and connection, rather than the person.


"That need for attachment can be intoxicating, but it's important to get to know the person you've fallen for on a deeper level," Sarah says.


"You will feel anxiety when you're not getting that serotonin burst, but if you follow these steps before becoming emotionally attached so quickly, you'll feel better."


When Emophilia Becomes a Problem


 At a time when the dating world feels dire and "true love" is hard to find, is it really all that bad if someone is so open to connection?


The issue is that when emophiliacs fall, they tend not to question the relationship's long-term goals, values or red flags.


This can make them either more likely to jump ship or get stuck in a relationship that was doomed from the start.


"Falling for risky partners may seem appealing, but it can be dangerous when their aim is manipulation and destruction," explains Sarah.


"People with emophilia can be attracted to narcissists, who may lovebomb a new partner by showing excessive amounts of affection and attention. This would be ideal for a person with emophilia. Because they think they're in love, emophiliacs are likely to overlook warnings or advice, even from trusted family and friends. However, when red flags aren't addressed, over time they can become more problematic."


Why Do you Fall so Hard?


Though the exact cause of emophilia is unknown, there are several possible theories.


"It is thought that low serotonin levels in the brain may contribute," says Sarah.


Serotonin is also implicated in conditions including depression and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD).


Some people may also be hypersensitive to oxytocin," adds Sarah.


Also known as the love hormone, oxytocin creates feelings of trust and a desire to care.


Falling in love quickly is also a shared experience of people with ADHD, which may be linked with the disorder's symptoms of impulsivity.


But it may just be a personality trait.


For some, there is excitement to be found in the chaos, and boredom in the monotony.


FIVE WAYS TO BREAK UP WITH EMOPHILIA


Overcoming the need to chase the rush of falling for someone isn't easy, as many of our relationship desires are ingrained.


"I would ask an emophiliac: 'Is it working for you?'", Sarah says.


"If the answer is yes, and you're happy flitting from one relationship to another, keep doing what you are doing. If the answer is no, I'd recommend these tips."


1. Go Cold Turkey


If you are a serial dater, go cold turkey − including no sex or romantic relations − to focus on yourself.


Discover the qualities you like in yourself and note the ways in which you are capable without having a significant other.


Then, pick up conscious dating when the time is right.


"When you find the confidence to make the right choices, you will no longer let your drive for a feeling choose for you," says Sarah.


"It will be hard work, but worth it."


2. Spot The Red Flags


Some red flags are universal.


For example, a lack of respect or signs of attempting to control another person.


However, others will be more specific to you.


For example, how do you feel about their financial situation, living arrangements, family set-up or beliefs?


It's easy for a friend to say: "That's a red flag", but ask yourself if it really is for you.


Write down your deal-breakers, then ensure when connecting with someone that you ask the questions that will unveil these warning signs.


3. Note What Hasn't Worked


Sit back and really think about the patterns you have fallen into with each romantic partner.


What happened? Where did it go wrong? Self-awareness is important in the decision-making process.


If necessary, write out an action plan for the next time someone catches your attention.


4. Listen To Friends


You may get so caught up in the rush of a new partner that you forget the concerns of those closest to you.


Take time to speak to a family member or friend who knows you well and has historically given you honest advice.


Run through any worries or ask for feedback on new partners.


Your friends don't have to love or even like your partner, but if they have concerns about them, it's worth hearing them.


This can be a failing for people with emophilia, who can only see the positives of a new crush.


5. Consult A Therapist


Therapists or counsellors can help you to understand and manage emophilia.


"Therapists help bring you into the here and now and find internal validation, rather than seeking external validation from others," says Sarah.


"That means that those with emophilia can consciously connect with themselves and with others when dating."

ACTIVE LEARNING METHODOLOGIES IN ENGLISH CLASSES: INTERACTION IN A VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT


The coronavirus pandemic has intensified the creative use of technological resources that significantly promote dynamic communication among learners. This study investigated the contribution of active methodologies in remote English language classes for the interaction between basic level learners. Based on this goal, we analyzed the resources that promote the linguistic development of students through interaction in virtual environments, based on studies on active methodologies on learning, interaction and teaching of foreign languages and sociocultural theory. Data were generated from an online questionnaire applied to students' interactions in the Google Classroom environment, and the field observation journal of synchronous interactions in Google Meet and were analyzed in the light of grounded theory. By contrasting the instruments, we obtained three global categories that emerged from the comparison and contrast between them: flexibility, autonomy, and interaction. The categories showed that creative tasks developed through active methodologies, such as video production, autonomous activities such as prior access to video classes and flexible tasks such as the activities available in the weekly forums, allowed learners to identify possible errors regarding the use of the language and collaborate with colleagues, solving problems collaboratively and answering questions. The results confirm the contributions of active methodologies in the online environment.
