Lowell, Massachusetts
For my Graphic Design Senior Seminar project at Assumption College, I chose to create a video describing how my experiences growing up in Lowell shaped me to be the person I am today. No matter where you go, you can't forget where you are from.
Lowell is a city in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, in the United States. With an estimated 2014 population of 109,941 it is the fourth-largest city in Massachusetts, after Boston, Worcester, and Springfield, and the second-largest in what the U.S. Census Bureau defines as Boston's metropolitan area.
Incorporated in 1826, Lowell became known as the cradle of the American Industrial Revolution, and many of the city's historic sites have been preserved by the National Park Service. Lowell is home to the University of Massachusetts Lowell, a Carnegie-classified research university and the second largest public university in Massachusetts. Along with Cambridge, Lowell is one of Middlesex County's historical county seats prior to the abolition of county government in 1997.

Cemetery Walk Through In Search of Witch Bonney
In Search of Witch Bonney & The Haunted Park Forrest
Why is this statue of paranormal significance to Wiccan and Witchcraft Rituals and Hocus Pocus and strange E.M.F. readings?
A couple members of the MA Ghost Hunters payed Clara Bonney a visit in the spring of 2001. They apparently were a bit surprised that they got an EMF reading ranging from 4-7, and several spikes, when with no electricity around they should have got a big goose .
The local Witch of Lowell Massachusetts is Witch Bonney who resides in the Lowell Cemetery in Lowell, Ma. If you go to see her, you will find all sorts of offerings and remnants of candles burned at her feet. There are often coins, flowers, prayer beads, stones and more given to her. Stories cerculate of people who steel the offerings from her grave and had nothing but bad luck and actually brought them back to end the “curse” of those who disrespect her. Some say they even have seen apparitions of Witch Bonney within their homes after taking an offering.
The fact is, Clara Bonney Lilley was a married woman who is buried at her father’s (Bonney) plot along with her husband and mother. There is no evidence that she was an actual Witch, although the “story” is that she was a witch that was hung during the witch trials, and she supposedly said before she died that she was going to come back and kill the family members of the people that condemned her. Legends goes on to say that she is buried with a list of last names of the people who killed her and when her dress falls below her breasts those family members with those last names will die.
FACT: Clara died in the 1800’s, not in 1692 / 1693 , 1600’s when the Witch Huntings in Salem occured.
It is said that one day she will be reborn in the hollow of a dead tree. Scoff if you wish, but then one notices an odd thing if you frequent the cemetery. Workers there are careful to cut down any trees that are showing age and could be home to her resurrection. Are they believers or just not taking the chance? Supposedly there have been some odd EMF readings at the site as well.
There is also a story of a “guardian” or “protector” of Witch Bonney that you can find by looking where she looks. It is believed that this is the grave she looks to which is the Centennial Lion.
So, if you happen into this beautiful cemetery on your trip to Massachusettes, be sure to say “Hello” to Witch Bonney and her brave lion and leave offerings.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Lowell is a city in the U.S. Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Located in Middlesex County, Lowell (along with Cambridge) was a county seat until Massachusetts disbanded county government in 1999. With an estimated population of 109,945 in 2014, it is the fourth-largest city in Massachusetts, and the second-largest in the Boston metropolitan statistical area. The city is also part of a smaller Massachusetts statistical area called Greater Lowell, as well as New England's Merrimack Valley region.
Incorporated in 1826 to serve as a mill town, Lowell was named after Francis Cabot Lowell, a local figure in the Industrial Revolution. The city became known as the cradle of the American Industrial Revolution, due to a large series of textile mills and factories. Many of the Lowell's historic manufacturing sites were later preserved by the National Park Service to create Lowell National Historical Park. During the Cambodian genocide, the city took in an influx of refugees, leading to a Cambodia Town and America's second-largest Cambodian-American population.Lowell is home to two institutions of higher education.

Reflections on the First Fifty Years of the Peabody Museum, 1866–1916
Curtis Hinsley, Regents’ Professor Emeritus of History and Comparative Cultural Studies, Northern Arizona University
The Peabody Museum was founded at a time of epistemological and political turmoil, seven years after the publication of Darwin’s On the Origin of Species and one year after the end of the Civil War. The chaotic decades following the war proved to be an era of unprecedented economic opportunity, but also a time of corruption, disillusionment, and oppression. In the world of instruction, museums held the promise of teaching not only scientific facts, but proper values as well; a museum of anthropology might serve a vital moral function in the emerging society. As Peabody director Frederic Putnam wrote in 1891: “Many an indifferent idler straggling into a well-arranged museum goes forth with new ideas and fresh interests” to enrich “an otherwise aimless and weary life.” In this lecture Curtis Hinsley will consider the hopes and intentions of the Peabody Museum in its early years.
Presented as part of the Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology's 150th anniversary.
