I had a super duper fun day updating two years of contacts and linking them to accession records in the PastPerfect database. I got to help our curatorial assistant install a popup exhibit too but that didn't take nearly as long as expected.

April 05, 1933-- FDR creates Civilian Conservation Corps

"On April 5, 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt establishes the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), an innovative federally funded organization that put tens of thousands of Americans to work during the Great Depression on projects with environmental benefits.

In 1932, FDR took America’s political helm during the country’s worst economic crisis, declaring a “government worthy of its name must make a fitting response” to the suffering of the unemployed. He implemented the CCC a little over one month into his presidency as part of his administration’s “New Deal” plan for social and economic progress. The CCC reflected FDR’s deep commitment to environmental conservation. He waxed poetic when lobbying for the its passage, declaring “the forests are the lungs of our land [which] purify our air and give fresh strength to our people.”

The CCC, also known as “Roosevelt’s Tree Army,” was open to unemployed, unmarried U.S. male citizens between the ages of 18 and 26. All recruits had to be healthy and were expected to perform hard physical labor. Blacks were placed in de-facto segregated camps, although administrators denied the practice of discrimination. Enlistment in the program was for a minimum of 6 months; many re-enlisted after their first term. Participants were paid $30 a month and often given supplemental basic and vocational education while they served. Under the guidance of the Departments of the Interior and Agriculture, CCC employees fought forest fires, planted trees, cleared and maintained access roads, re-seeded grazing lands and implemented soil-erosion controls. They built wildlife refuges, fish-rearing facilities, water storage basins and animal shelters. To encourage citizens to get out and enjoy America’s natural resources, FDR authorized the CCC to build bridges and campground facilities. From 1933 to 1942, the CCC employed over 3 million men.

Of Roosevelt’s many New Deal policies, the CCC is considered by many to be one of the most enduring and successful. It provided the model for future state and federal conservation programs. In 1942, Congress discontinued appropriations for the CCC, diverting the desperately needed funds to the effort to win World War II."

Present Perfect vs. Past Perfect

Past Perfect (had)

To express something that occurred (for a while) BEFORE another action in the PAST; our reference point is the past.

So, it's used to express a timeline like this:

Past Perfect -> Past Simple -> Now

Example: "When Sarah arrived, Paul had left"

Present Perfect (has) - what I use most in SV study

our reference point is the PRESENT.

started in the past and CONTINUES to the present.

Example: "I have lived in this city for six months"

or

an action that happened before now (UNSPECIFIED time - dont say specifically when something happened). Listener is not waiting for more info bc you have caught up to the present with this tense.

Example: "I have been to Japan twice."

If "I had been to Japan twice" was used instead, more info (past and maybe present) would be expected by listener.

I know the job search has broken me bc i just made myself laugh out loud for a full minute by adding “conducting live tarantula feedings” into my cover letter in the middle of a very boring list of normal-sounding prior responsibilities like “managing databases” i hope they think it’s funny too. And hire me even though this job has nothing to do with tarantulas

#sometimes i wonder if i should get sillier in my cover letters bc if i sound interesting they might want to talk to me #im not lying about the tarantulas. i am kind of lying about knowing pastperfect but i watched a video and it doesn’t seem that hard or #substantially different from other databases i do have experience with #whateverrrr i want a job I can’t keep doing contracts forever #im not built for it. i need stability

Okay, I've got some OC asks to get through, so I'll see if I can do some today as I fight with PastPerfect, which has decided since late yesterday to not upload photos because it hates everyone.

The Emily Dickinson Museum's collection is the largest and most diverse assemblage of objects associated with Emily Dickinson and her family to be found anywhere. It consists of more than 8,000 artifacts, including fine art such as an impressive collection of Hudson River school paintings; cooking, dining, lighting, and heating artifacts; personal items such as children’s toys, handwork, and musical instruments; souvenir objects and art from travels abroad; and a large assortment of clothing and textiles. The collection captures the details of nineteenth-century life in a semi-rural educational and agricultural community and vividly illustrates the daily life and writing habits of one of the world’s greatest poets.

The Museum’s collection had remained largely undocumented and inaccessible until a major grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services in 2019 funded the documentation and baseline cataloging of the entire collection for the very first time. Completed in 2023, this project has improved collection care and, through this database, public access has strengthened the museum’s interpretation, and opened promising new research opportunities.

In the fall, the museum hired a professional photographer to take pictures of selected objects for a planned project. Today, I added those images to object records in the database.

October 31, 1950 - Earl Lloyd becomes first Black player in the NBA

"On October 31, 1950, 21-year-old Earl Lloyd becomes the first African American to play in an NBA game when he takes the court in the season opener for the Washington Capitols.

Lloyd grew up in Jim Crow Virginia and went to West Virginia State, where he was the star of the school’s championship basketball team. He didn’t know he’d been drafted by the NBA until he ran into a friend on campus who told him she’d heard a rumor that he’d be moving to Washington. It turned out that the Capitols had picked him in the ninth round of the draft. Two other Black players joined the NBA that season—the Celtics drafted Chuck Cooper in the second round and the New York Knicks got Nat “Sweetwater” Clifton from the Harlem Globetrotters—but the Knicks and the Celts didn’t start their seasons until November. As a result, Lloyd became a coincidental pioneer: the first Black player to make his debut in the NBA.

Joining an all-white team was intimidating, Lloyd remembered, but his teammates—most of whom had played on integrated college teams—were immediately welcoming. Some fans, however, were less kind. As the announcer read the Capitols’ lineup on that first night of the season, a white man in the front row used a racial slur.

After seven games with the Capitols, Lloyd was drafted into the military and sent to Korea for two years. When he returned to the United States, the Capitols had gone out of business, and so he went to play for the Syracuse Nationals (who later became the Philadelphia 76ers). He wrapped up his nine-season career in Detroit. After he retired from playing, he stayed in the Motor City, serving as a scout and then as an assistant coach for the Pistons. In 1970, he became the first full-time black head coach in the league. He coached the Detroit team for a year, and then went on to work for the city, in the police department and as a school administrator. He was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2003. He died in 2015."

#FuturePerfect and #PastPerfect . Both have been to and have gone to can be used in future and past perfect forms. Had been to indicates that someone has gone to another place and returned. On the other hand, had gone to indicates that the person was not present at some time in the past. . Here are some examples: I'd been to a restaurant, so I wasn't hungry when he invited me out to eat. They'd gone to the shopping mall, so they weren't home when I arrived. Helen had been to the presentation by the time the director asked her those questions. Melanie had gone to the dentist and wasn't available for lunch. . . . . . .  #learnenglish #vocabulary #studyenglish #englishteacher #englishlanguage #englishclass #englishlesson #learningenglish #englishlearning #grammar #speakenglish ‏#englishtips #easyenglish #pronunciation #americanenglish #ingles ‏#inglés #aprenderingles ‏#inglesonline #anglais ‏#ingilizce #ingilizceogren ‏#angielski ‏#английский#английскийязык #انجليزي #انگلیسی (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CK1M5cnHM5l/?igshid=1s15os3ptwcjc
