Country: United States
State: Connecticut
County: New Haven

New Haven is the second largest city in Connecticut and the seat of New Haven County. Situated on Long Island Sound about 75 miles from New York City, New Haven is both a manufacturing and educational center for Connecticut. Neighboring Waterbury is 21 miles from New Havenand situated on the Naugatuck River.
In the spring of 1638, a group of English Puritans led by Theophilus Eaton and the Rev. John Davenport, settled at the head of New Haven Bay. At first it was ruled by a plantation covenant, but in 1639, the settlers decided to become a theocracy and to be ruled entirely by scripture. The Old Green in the center of the city was laid out by the surveyor John Brockett around 1640.
In 1664, New Haven became part of the colony of Connecticut. From 1701 to 1873, New Haven shared the title of capital with Hartford. During the Revolutionary War, New Haven supported the American cause, although there were numerous Loyalists in the city, 75 of whom had their property confiscated. New Haven was invaded by General William Tryon in 1779, but the British were repulsed before they could burn the city.
Yale College, founded in Saybrook, was moved to New Haven in 1717, where it developed into Yale University. Some of Yale's buildings are found around the Old Green, along with three churches that were built in 1814: Trinity, Center, and United. Another landmark is the Ives Memorial Library, the central library of the New Haven Free Public Library, built in 1908. The New Haven Symphony Orchestra is the fourth oldest symphony in America, having given its first performance in 1895.
Edgerton Park is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Edgewood Park began with sixty acres donated in 1889. Frederick Law Olmsted Jr. designed the layout in 1910.
In 1954, Mayor Richard Lee began his first of eight terms as Mayor of New Haven. Lee hoped to stem the emigration of the middle class, eliminate the slums and revitalize the economy. More than $300 million dollars was spent in public and private construction in renewal areas during Lee's administration.

Yale-New Haven Hospital is the primary hospital associated with Yale University. St. Raphael's Hospital, founded in 1907, also co-operates with Yale's medical school.
However, revitalization of many areas of the city continued after Lee left office in 1969. Wooster Square, which in the 1950's was a slum, is now home to new commercial and industrial buildings and an established historic district. In 1994 The Audubon Arts Center Complex was completed. Revitalization is also occurring in Science Park, the East Shore community, the harborfront, Upper State Street and many other areas.

Connecticut
A small state with a lot of nicknames: The Nutmeg State, the Constitution State, the Yankee State, the Land of Steady Habits and the Provision State. Public Affairs Officer Jan Krč describes Connecticut, then and now. #50states #CT
Transcript:
Not many people are familiar with my home state. My name is Jan Krč and I'm the Public Affairs Officer at the U.S. Embassy in Vienna. And I'd like to introduce you to Connecticut. I come from New Haven, Connecticut's second largest city and its principal seaport.
Connecticut is the third smallest state, but also one of the most densely populated. Three and a half million people live within the state's 5 ½ thousand square mile territory.
The name Connecticut comes from the Native American word, Kenetuket, which means, beside the long tidal river. The official state nickname is the Constitution State. This is because the early British settlers were governed by the Fundamental Orders of 1638 which are considered by many historians to be the first ever written constitution and these Orders served as the basis for the much better known U.S. Constitution. My state is also known as the Nutmeg State and people from Connecticut are sometimes called Nutmeggers. That nickname may have come from sailors in the 18th and 19th centuries returning from their voyages with this spice.
My state has another nickname, the Land of the Steady habits. And some people call it the Yankee State.
Connecticut is one of the original 13 colonies and became an official state in 1788. It's part of the group of states known as New England.
Connecticut was previously home to about 6 to 7 thousand Native Americans before Dutch fur traders arrived in 1614. In 1633, the Dutch purchased land from the Algonquian tribe and erected a fort and trading post at what is now Hartford, the state capital. Later, it was taken over by British settlers from neighboring Massachusetts who established their first settlement in Connecticut at Wethersfield in 1634.
My state is very industrious. It is called the birthplace of Yankee ingenuity, ranking first in the nation in the per capita numbers of engineers and issued patents. As early as 1657, there was a thriving ship building industry in Connecticut.
George Washington even gave Connecticut one more nickname -- The Provision State because of the aid the state gave during the Revolutionary War.
Eli Whitney, the inventor of the cotton gin in 1798, lived in Connecticut. But did you also know that Whitney was the mastermind behind the idea of mass production? He used standard parts to produce muskets in 1798. That revolutionized industrial production in the U.S. and his cotton gin made that crop pre-eminent in the American south.
In the early 1900s, Groton, Connecticut, became the site of a U.S. Submarine Base. And the state became a munitions supply center in World War I. Connecticut remained an important supplier during the Second World War, producing planes, engines, propellers, submarines and other supplies. The first atomic powered submarine, the U.S.S. Nautilus was launched there in 1954. Today, Groton is still the center for U.S. submarine development and construction.
And modern day Connecticut based factories also produce sewing machines, jet engines, helicopters, motors, hardware, tools, cutlery, clocks, locks and silverware.
Here are some of the firsts for Connecticut:
Founded in 1764, the Hartford Courant is the oldest continuously published newspaper in the U.S.
America's first law school was founded in 1784 in Litchfield.
The first tax-supported public library opened in Salisbury in 1803.
The first commercial telephone exchange was established in New Haven in 1878.
And many other first inventions came from my state like the sewing machine in 1846, ice making machine in 1853, the vacuum cleaner in 1933, the helicopter in 1939 and color TV in 1948.
Connecticut is more than industrial cities. The small colonial towns and rural areas attract many tourists. The resorts along the Long Island Sound shoreline are also popular. In fact, two thirds of the state are open land with more than 100 state parks and forests.
Not only does Connecticut have a beautiful landscape, it's also an easy commute to New York City. That's why many famous people chose to live there. And that might be the reason Connecticut has the highest per capita income of all U.S. states. Katharine Hepburn, Dylan McDermott, Milos Forman and Christopher Walken have all lived in Connecticut. And Meg Ryan grew up in Fairfield.
The 1988 film, Mystic Pizza, starring Julia Roberts, is based on an actual pizza parlor in Mystic, Connecticut. To this day, the state has the best pizza in the U.S. and it was in a New Haven eatery named Louis that the first ever hamburger was served in 1895. In addition to celebrities, Connecticut has its share of famous people from history.

Friends of the University of New Haven Library:Dr.Dowd & Debies-Carl - Winter is Coming to Ireland
This video is from the University of New Haven's Friends of the University of New Haven Library speaker series. This discussion from March 23, 2017 featured Dr. Christopher Dowd and Dr. Jeffrey Debies-Carl and was entitled Winter is Coming to Ireland: Game of Thrones and the Reimagining of Irish Tourism.
A recent boom in tourism in Northern Ireland has been the result of invitations (as one tourism site puts it) “to Journey to the Heart of Westeros”, the fictional world depicted in HBO’s Game of Thrones, which films in and around Belfast. In this lecture, Dr. Dowd and Dr. Debies-Carl consider how tourists are physically traveling to Ireland as a means of imaginatively traveling to a fantasy world. Ireland has served as a fantastical imaginative space in literature and art before, but here is an example of that imaginative fantasy version of Ireland intersecting with the real world—including the Irish economy and government--in a more tangible way than has ever happened before.

Who Was Here? A History of Downtown Waterbury
On October 26, 2017, longtime CPTV producer and radio host Larry Rifkin moderated a panel of longtime local residents and historians at the Silas Bronson Library in Waterbury, CT.
Panelists Magdelena Campos, Reginald Beamon, Bob Dorr, Raechel Guest, Philip Benevento, and Sherman London discussed the history of life in downtown Waterbury and addressed the question of Who Was Here? The session examined immigration patterns, the various ethnic groups who have called downtown Waterbury home, and the changes to the area as the city's industrial base moved away.
The program was a collaboration between the Silas Bronson Library, UConn Waterbury's Urban & Community Studies Program, and Connecticut Humanities.
Part of Connecticut Humanities' six-month exploration of the legacy of race and ethnicity in our state. Supported by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, a variety of programs took place in West Hartford, New Haven, Stamford, Waterbury and Groton.
The Hidden History of Connecticut
Author Wilson H. Faude discussed his book The Hidden History of Connecticut.
Heublein Tower At Talcott Mountain, Connecticut
Heublein Tower, originally referred to as Heublein Castle, was built by Gilbert Heublein as a summer home and gift to his wife-to-be. Today, the castle located atop Talcott Mountain, or as some would say Avon Mountain, on the Metcomet Trail, in Talcott Mountain State Park is a popular place to hike for panoramic views. I pieced together this footage after hiking up the trail on a crisp summer day. At the start of the first video footage, some background noise of others on the trail will be heard, but once I enter the castle, or tower if you prefer, the filming was relatively devoid of background voices though occasional natural echoing from the stone walls from within the castle are somewhat audible. I narrated the video footage while taking the clips and took some photos as well to insert when later stringing together the video footage. Today, the castle is listed on the National Registry of Historic Sites and is opened to the public in good weather usually starting Memorial Day at the end of May and running through to October when the park is in peak foliage for the autumn colors.
For those interested in when the castle was first built, construction started in 1914 and ended in 1917. The castle was modeled to look like a Bavarian Castle, which explains its towering height and narrow structure.
Some additional information from the Talcott Mountain State Park's website provides information about Talcott Ridge, where Heublein Tower is located:
The 1,000-foot high promontory provides a splendid view of the Connecticut landscape. On the horizon, Mount Monadnock, eighty miles away in New Hampshire, is discernible. To the northwest, the Berkshires dominate the horizon. Long Island Sound is revealed as a thin blue streak to the south. Those with sharp vision can see an area estimated to be 1,200 square miles.
In 1999, The New York Times ran a review of the tower, calling it Tower of Romance, Tower of History. Find the review at:
Anisa Sebagai Seniman Jalanan Street Poet at Fair Haven International Festival of Arts & Ideas
June 7, 2014: Anisa telah dijemput oleh Penganjur untuk membaca sajak beliau. A special guest, Anisa reading her spoken words poem at the Celebrate Our Fair Haven International Pop-up Festival.
The Power of Poetry: Spoken word is written on a page but performed for an audience. It relies on a heavy use of rhythm, improvisation, rhymes, word play, and slang.
Spoken Word is writing that is meant to be read out loud. Some examples of spoken word you might be familiar with are stories, poems, monologues, slam poetry, rap and even stand-up comedy. When writing a spoken word piece use words and phrases that project onto the minds of the listeners like vivid images, sounds, actions and other sensations.

George W. Bush: Short Biography, Net Worth & Career Highlights
Complete article:
George Walker Bush was born on 6 July 1946, in New Haven, Connecticut, USA, of British, Irish, German and Dutch descent, and even though George W. Bush is best known as the 43rd President of USA, he has had other occupations too, having worked in the oil business and co-owned a baseball team, as well as being the Governor of Texas.
So just how rich is the politician and businessman George W. Bush? Celebrity dot money estimates that George W.’s net worth is over 45 million dollars, accumulated during his business and political careers over a period of more than 35 years. Additionally, his annual pension from the presidency is 191,300 dollars.
George W. is the son of George H.W. Bush, 41st President of the US, and Barbara Bush. The family moved to Houston Texas when he was young, and stayed there until he was 12, then he finished high school at Phillips Academy in Massachusetts. After he graduated from Yale University with a Bachelor’s degree in history in 1968, Bush joined the Texas Air National Guard, but then finished his MBA at Harvard Business School in 1976. He decided to stand for election to the House of Representatives in 1978, but was unsuccessful. Instead, George W. Bush’s net worth was subsequently increased in the 1980s, as he developed several independent oil companies – the first was Bush Exploration which he merged with Spectrum 7. Another source of George W.’s net worth was purchasing shares in the Texas Rangers baseball team, investing around 800,000 dollars in 1989, and then walking away with 15 million dollars when he sold them nine years later.
In 1987-88 he assisted and advised his father during a successful campaign for the presidency. After the election, George W. decided to follow his own political career, and in 1994 he was successful, being elected as the Governor of Texas.
Four years later Bush made history, as he was the first Texas governor to be elected for two consecutive terms. During his governorship, he formally announced his candidacy for President of the USA, and won election in 2000 in the race against his opponent, Al Gore. His first term as President was characterised by the terrorist attacks of 9/11 2001, after which Bush retaliated by invading Afghanistan and Iraq, ostensibly to strike at the heart of the al-Qaeda terrorist organisation. However, he was also prominent in home affairs, approving tax cuts, the Patriot Act, Medicare prescription drug benefits, the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act, the No Child Left Behind Act, and funding for research into AIDS.
Bush was re-elected for a second term in the 2004 election, fought against Massachusetts Senator John Kerry. Unfortunately, this term was beset by economic problems, culminating with the so-called ‘Great Recession’ of 2007-8, including a virtual collapse of the banking system in the USA. Consequently, he is known for gaining substantial approval during his first term, and wide-spread criticism during his second.
Finally, his presidency ended in 2008 and his political life as well. Of course, George W.’s political life brought substantial financial rewards, but nothing like the amounts he might have earned in business.
After his presidency, Bush decided to return to a quiet life, free of work and business in Texas. Nevertheless, George W.‘s net worth has not decreased - in this period of his life, he has participated in speaking engagements, and he is known as a great public speaker. The former president has written a book – a memoir, with the title of “Decision Points”. His presidential library was opened to the public in 2013. He also established the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund with former president Bill Clinton, a non-profit organization to aid the victims of the Haiti earthquake in 2010. Furthermore, he has started painting as a hobby - his subjects mostly include dogs and still life. He has also painted self-portraits, and portraits of world leaders including Vladimir Putin and Tony Blair.
In his personal life, George W. Bush has been married to Laura Lane Welch since 1977, and they have twin daughters. They now live in Dallas, Texas.

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
=======
New Haven is a coastal city in the U.S. state of Connecticut. It is located on New Haven Harbor on the northern shore of Long Island Sound in New Haven County, Connecticut, and is part of the New York metropolitan area. With a population of 129,779 as determined by the 2010 United States Census, it is the second-largest city in Connecticut after Bridgeport. New Haven is the principal municipality of Greater New Haven, which had a total population of 862,477 in 2010.New Haven was the first planned city in America. Founded in 1638 by English Puritans, a year later eight streets were laid out in a four-by-four grid, creating what is commonly known as the Nine Square Plan. The central common block is the New Haven Green, a 16-acre (6 ha) square, and the center of Downtown New Haven. The Green is now a National Historic Landmark and the Nine Square Plan is recognized by the American Planning Association as a National Planning Landmark.New Haven is the home of Yale University. As New Haven's biggest taxpayer and employer, Yale serves as an integral part of the city's economy. Health care (hospitals and biotechnology), professional services (legal, architectural, marketing, and engineering), financial services, and retail trade also contribute to the city's economic activity.
The city served as co-capital of Connecticut from 1701 until 1873, when sole governance was transferred to the more centrally located city of Hartford. New Haven has since billed itself as the Cultural Capital of Connecticut for its supply of established theaters, museums, and music venues. New Haven had the first public tree planting program in America, producing a canopy of mature trees (including some large elms) that gave New Haven the nickname The Elm City.
Friends of the University of New Haven Library: Dr. Ndrecka - Risk Assessment, Race and Recidivism
This video is from the University of New Haven's Friends of the University of New Haven Library speaker series. This discussion from April 25, 2018 features Dr. Mirlinda Ndrecka and was entitled Risk Assessment, Race and Recidivism - Examining for Potential Predictive Bias.
The use of actuarial risk assessments in the field of corrections has increased dramatically in the last two decades. Risk assessments have increasingly replaced the use of professional judgment in making sentencing, correctional placement, and treatment decisions. In this lecture, Dr. Ndrecka discusses how her study seeks to examine potential predictive biases by race in the use of the Level of Service Inventory – Revised (LSI-R), a widely used risk assessment tool. Risk assessment and recidivism data were obtained for a 2010-2012 New England sample of offenders on probation. Follow-up recidivism data was available for three years after release.
