Patriotic sisterhood, women & the origins of historic preservation in america...William Hosley
"Patriotic Sisterhood: Women and the Origins of Historic Preservation"
In Making Historic Preservation Relevant for the Next 50 Years, Donovan Rypkema noted that "the American preservation movement.... overwhelmingly owes its existence and success to the efforts of women." This program will showcase historic sites, personalities and heritage initiatives that demonstrate the powerful and visionary role of individual women and patriotic organizations (notably the Colonial Dames and the DAR) in saving some of our most beloved treasures, laying down tracks for the modern preservation movement and instilling in their families, neighbors and generation a respect for the grace and wonder of our native land. The point is to underscore that historic preservation and its allied concerns were a central platform that gave women civic and national influence in the years before they could even vote. The legacy is remarkable and a model of what the heritage enterprise should be and why it matters today.

The Great River: Three Centuries of Connecticut Valley Art & History
This program is a survey of the people, places and things that figured prominently in the cultural and artistic life of the Connecticut Valley during its first two centuries. Aspects of regional history are explored through the study gravestones, architecture, household furnishings, and regional industry. These objects illustrate the bond that linked the neighboring towns of the Connecticut Valley while offering insights into the people who owned them. The Valley's transformation from an essentially provincial and agrarian culture to the vanguard of the 19th century's high-tech industrial revolution will be discussed. The lecture revisits the themes and materials presented in The Great River (Wadsworth Atheneum), while providing further insights into the industrial transformation that occurred after 1840.

Connecticut industrial Trail -List and Site Profiles - by William HosleyWilliam Hosley
Connecticut Industrial Heritage Trail
The combination of waterpower, proximity to markets and yankee ingenuity made Connecticut one the superpowers of the industrial age. With more patents per capita and thousands of manufactured products. Connecticut’s image and history were shaped by a culture and economy about making thing.
The Connecticut Industrial Heritage Trail, a project of the Connecticut Trust for Historic Preservation, was conceived to increase public awareness of the importance of Connecticut’s industrial history – and to build support and awareness for the increasing challenge of preserving the a legacy of the industrial age – a remarkable built environment.
Based on extensive field research and influenced by studies conducted by Matt Roth and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers in the 1980s – and with special thanks to Connecticut History Online and Jerry Dougherty’s Connecticut – a massive online, town by town visual data base, sixty preliminary sites have been chosen. They are located in every corner of the state – (though especially concentrated along the three primary watersheds), represent dozens of products and industries – and cover the subject from its origins in the late 18th century with simple saw and grist mills – to the great levianthans of the industrial age – massive industrial complexes in places like Waterbury and Hartford and in eastern Connecticut long the Shetucket River.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
