National Historic Preservation - Great Falls
Fairfax County is proud to participate in the 50th anniversary celebration of the National Historic Preservation Act. One of the key elements of this federal legislation was the establishment of the National Register of Historic Places, the official list of the nation's historic places worthy of preservation.
The National Register is part of a program to coordinate and support public and private efforts to identify, evaluate, and protect America's historic and cultural resources. Each month County Magazine will highlight properties in Fairfax County’s National Register in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the National Historic Preservation Act.
Great Falls is one of the most spectacular natural landmarks in the Washington DC metropolitan area. A labyrinth of trails, paths, and roads lace the 800 acre park providing hiking, biking, and horseback riding for visitors. The park includes significant archeological sites spanning from approximately 6,000 B.C. to the mid-20th century. Located along the banks of the Potomac River between the states of Virginia and Maryland. It is part of the National Park Service and George Washington Memorial Parkway.

Impeachment trial of President Trump | Jan. 31, 2020 (FULL LIVE STREAM)
A crucial vote is anticipated Jan. 31 on whether to call witnesses in the Trump impeachment trial, including former national security adviser John Bolton. In a manuscript of his new book, Bolton reportedly says that Trump directly tied the holdup of nearly $400 million in military assistance to Ukraine to investigations of the Bidens.
Trump was impeached by the House of Representatives in December for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. Impeachment does not mean that the president has been removed from office. In the next phase, the Senate must hold a trial to make that determination. A Senate impeachment trial has happened only two other times in American history and once in the modern era. At the center of the Democrats’ case is that Trump sought to withhold military assistance and an Oval Office meeting until Ukraine announced investigations into former vice president Joe Biden and his son.

Bowhunters in their own words of killing does with babies, fawns, and pregnant does
Fairfax County, the largest, most prosperous county in northern Virginia (which borders Washington, D.C.) has been turning its public parks into hunting grounds for bow hunters. After sneaking plans past public scrutiny, the Park Authority initiated bow hunting in Colvin Run Mill Park and is expanding it to other Fairfax County Parks without permission of the public/residents in the county.
Bow hunting is dangerous, extremely inhumane, and unpredictable. Visitors to the parks and residents in the surrounding area can be injured by this brutal activity.
Even the best bow hunters seldom kill the deer immediately. The hunter waits 45 minutes or more for the deer to run, bleed out and become exhausted. Then the hunter attempts to follow the blood trail to find the deer and kill him or her, possibly in front of children or other visitors to the park. This exposes children and adults to extraordinary animal cruelty.
We need 10,000 signatures
Bow hunters have a high rate of injuring, rather than killing deer, as seen in the photo posted. This leaves the deer to die a slow and agonizing death. There is no way to know how far a wounded deer will run, if or when she will die, or where her final suffering will occur. Deer sometimes scream when in pain. Local bow hunters have expressed delight at such suffering. Is this really what we want in our community?
Bowhunting and other forms of hunting increase deer-vehicle collisions, since the deer flee from the hunters once they are wounded or frightened and in a desperate attempt to escape often run into roads. A recent study by Erie Insurance Company in Pennsylvania concluded that the rate of collisions between deer and vehicles increased three to four times during hunting season.
Our representatives need to understand that the following methods have proven to decrease deer-vehicle collisions significantly, some as much as 100%. Here is a list of highly effective methods for deer and wildlife management, including methods involving technology that can be used to prevent deer-vehicle collisions.
Alternatives that Fairfax County hasn't even considered implementing:
- Patented roadside deer warning system (80% decrease in deer-vehicle collisions in several states including MN)
- Advanced warning signs
- Roadside reflectors (100% success rate, installed on Telegraph road but purchase of reflectors discontinued by county)
- Noise/Sound/Whistle devices, sprinkler systems or sound systems with motion sensors for gardens
- Fencing
- Wildlife crossings, culverts, overpasses, underpasses
- Vegetation control
- Reduced speed limits
- Smell pots
- Motion detector/light beam systems
- Immunocontraception
Over-population of deer is often blamed for deer-vehicle collisions (DVCs). Killing the deer will not decrease the incidence of DVCs. The HSUS states Deer culling programs generate an endless succession of removal and replacement in which animals die unnecessarily while the root causes of problems go unaddressed. As long as attractive habitat remains, other deer from surrounding areas will move in to occupy the newly vacant niche resulting in a perpetual kill cycle.

History of women in the United States
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
=======
This is a piece on history of women in the United States since 1776, and of the Thirteen Colonies before that. The study of women's history has been a major scholarly and popular field, with many scholarly books and articles, museum exhibits, and courses in schools and universities. The roles of women were long ignored in textbooks and popular histories. By the 1960s, women were being presented as successful as male roles. An early feminist approach underscored their victimization and inferior status at the hands of men. In the 21st century writers have emphasized the distinctive strengths displayed inside the community of women, with special concern for minorities among women.

Suspense: The High Wall / Too Many Smiths / Your Devoted Wife
The program's heyday was in the early 1950s, when radio actor, producer and director Elliott Lewis took over (still during the Wilcox/Autolite run). Here the material reached new levels of sophistication. The writing was taut, and the casting, which had always been a strong point of the series (featuring such film stars as Orson Welles, Joseph Cotten, Henry Fonda, Humphrey Bogart, Judy Garland, Ronald Colman, Marlene Dietrich, Eve McVeagh, Lena Horne, and Cary Grant), took an unexpected turn when Lewis expanded the repertory to include many of radio's famous drama and comedy stars — often playing against type — such as Jack Benny. Jim and Marian Jordan of Fibber McGee and Molly were heard in the episode, Backseat Driver, which originally aired February 3, 1949.
The highest production values enhanced Suspense, and many of the shows retain their power to grip and entertain. At the time he took over Suspense, Lewis was familiar to radio fans for playing Frankie Remley, the wastrel guitar-playing sidekick to Phil Harris in The Phil Harris-Alice Faye Show. On the May 10, 1951 Suspense, Lewis reversed the roles with Death on My Hands: A bandleader (Harris) is horrified when an autograph-seeking fan accidentally shoots herself and dies in his hotel room, and a vocalist (Faye) tries to help him as the townfolk call for vigilante justice against him.
With the rise of television and the departures of Lewis and Autolite, subsequent producers (Antony Ellis, William N. Robson and others) struggled to maintain the series despite shrinking budgets, the availability of fewer name actors, and listenership decline. To save money, the program frequently used scripts first broadcast by another noteworthy CBS anthology, Escape. In addition to these tales of exotic adventure, Suspense expanded its repertoire to include more science fiction and supernatural content. By the end of its run, the series was remaking scripts from the long-canceled program The Mysterious Traveler. A time travel tale like Robert Arthur's The Man Who Went Back to Save Lincoln or a thriller about a death ray-wielding mad scientist would alternate with more run-of-the-mill crime dramas.
