  • Today we will share information about two Black American women inventors whose inventions have impacted all of or lives. The first is Alice H. Parker born in 1895. The central heating furnace design that Alice H. Parker patented in December 1919 made use of natural gas for the first time to keep homes warm and toasty. Inspiring her innovation: the limited efficiency of fireplaces (along with the smoke and ash they produce) during the cold winters at her Morristown, New Jersey, house. Many modern homes still employ a similar forced air heating system for which her idea was a precursor. The second woman is Patricia Bath born in1942. A true visionary, Patricia Bath became the first Black female doctor to receive a medical patent when she invented a laser cataract treatment device called a Laserphaco Probe in 1986. It was one of several firsts the ophthalmologist achieved. The co-founder of the American Institute for the Prevention of Blindness patented her invention in 1988. Now used around the world, Bath’s device has improved sight for millions of people.

  • Black inventors developed ingenious products, machinery, and technology that continues to impact everyday life, another such inventor was Frederick McKinley Jones 1893-1961. Before Frederick McKinley Jones developed the automatic refrigeration equipment used in long-haul trucks that transport perishables in the late 1940s, the only way to keep food cold en route to delivery destinations was by using ice. Thanks to his invention, grocery stores were able to buy and sell products (many of which you probably purchase regularly) from far distances without the risk of them spoiling during transport. Jones’ technology was also used to transport blood during World War II.

  • Black inventors developed ingenious products, machinery, and technology that continues to impact everyday life, another such inventor was Elijah McCoy--->1844-1929 Of the 57 patents Elijah McCoy—reportedly the namesake for the popular, complimentary phrase “the real McCoy”—received over his lifetime, the portable ironing board might be one of the most timeless. As the story goes, having to iron on uneven surfaces frustrated his wife, Mary Eleanor Delaney, and so he created the ironing board to make her life a little easier. McCoy received the patent for this particular creation in May 1874. He is also the man behind another major invention beloved by homeowners: the lawn sprinkler.

  • As we continue to note Black inventors who developed ingenious products, machinery, and technology that continues to impact everyday life, we add Alexander Miles who lived from 1838 until1918. Anyone who’s ridden modern elevators has Alexander Miles to thank for the stair alternative’s automatic doors. Prior to his design’s 1867 patent, riders had to manually open and close two sets of doors when entering and exiting elevator cars. If a passenger happened to forget to close one of the doors, subsequent elevator riders risked a potentially fatal fall down the elevator shaft. Because, as the adage goes, necessity is the mother of invention, Miles created a mechanism that forced both elevator doors to close simultaneously, thus preventing dangerous accidents.

  • The rich history of Black inventors in the United States likely begins before our current historical record captures. Even so, there’s plenty of noteworthy individuals who revolutionized the world with their creations. In 1821, Thomas L. Jennings, who was emancipated from slavery, became the first Black inventor to be granted a U.S. patent. Thomas L. Jennings was working as a tailor and businessman in New York City when he invented a process for dry-cleaning delicate clothing known as “dry-scouring.” Jennings applied for a patent in 1820 and received his history-making approval the following year. With the money he earned from his invention, the formerly enslaved person donated to abolitionist causes and even reportedly freed his still-enslaved family members. This week we will be sharing more information about famous Black inventors who developed ingenious products, machinery, and technology that continues to impact everyday life.

  • Buenos dias PCTI. Hoy es jueves, 26 de septiembre. In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month today we highlight the accomplishments of Isabel Allende, a Chilean-American author renowned for her novels that blend magical realism with historical and political themes, often focusing on the lives of women. Her debut novel, *The House of the Spirits* (1982), is a family saga that spans several generations, set against the backdrop of Chilean political turmoil. The novel established her as a leading voice in Latin American literature. Allende’s works, including *Eva Luna* and *Daughter of Fortune*, explore themes like love, loss, exile, and the resilience of the human spirit. Many of her stories reflect her personal experiences with exile, as her family fled Chile following the 1973 military coup. Allende is celebrated for her vivid storytelling, strong female characters, and her exploration of social justice and human rights.

  • Buenos dias PCTI. In honor or Hispanic Heritage Month, today we highlight Frida Kahlo, a mexican painter known for her striking self-portraits and vivid depictions of pain, identity, and the female experience. She drew heavily from Mexican folk art, indigenous culture, and personal trauma, including her lifelong battle with health issues following a bus accident. Her work, often surreal and deeply introspective, explores themes of physical suffering, emotional turmoil, and love. Kahlo's most famous paintings include The Two Fridas and Self-Portrait with Thorn Necklace and Hummingbird. She became a feminist icon for her unapologetic portrayal of womanhood and is celebrated worldwide for her contributions to art and culture.

  • Happy Hispanic Heritage Month! Let's celebrate the linguistic ingenuity of the Maya. The Mayan writing system was a complex system that used glyphs to represent words and syllables. The Maya could combine these glyphs in various ways to create a wide range of expressions. While many glyphs represented entire words, others represented syllables, allowing for a more phonetic approach. This flexibility led to multiple possible spellings for many words. The Maya writing system influenced the Aztecs, who further developed it. Despite Spanish attempts to suppress it, the Maya continued to use their language and writing secretly for centuries.

  • Buenos dias PCTI. In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, today we highlight the country of Chile. Chileans love to celebrate Fiestas Patrias throughout the entire month of September. However, the actual holiday takes place on September 18th, today! (hoy!) On a day like today, September 18th, 1810 Chile began fighting for independence from Spain. But it wasn't until eight years later when they were finally considered an independent country. Chileans refer to the official holiday as “dieciocho.” This means “eighteen” in Spanish as the holiday falls on the 18th day of the month.The official national dance is called the “cueca,” which can be seen throughout the country. Everyone enjoys dancing cueca and many locals even compete in cueca dance competitions. In the capital city of Santiago, the military put on a huge parade on the 19th. This day is considered a national holiday as well. It commemorates the people in Chile who have given their lives to protect the country.

  • This week, in honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, we will begin each day with intention. The goal of beginning your day with intention is to understand that setting intentions can be incredibly beneficial. It helps cultivate a positive and proactive mindset, guiding your daily actions and decisions toward a more fulfilling life. Setting intentions can also lead to improved mental health, as it encourages mindfulness and a focus on the present moment. Today's Intention: I intend to be at peace with the things I cannot control in my life by seeing life less objectively. By enjoying the simple things in life, I will lead by example by being kindhearted and true to myself. The act of kindness could be minuscule, but the effect could be substantial. It has a ripple effect, inspiring others to pay it forward.

  • Buenos dias PCTI. Hoy es jueves, 26 de septiembre. In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month today we highlight the accomplishments of Isabel Allende, a Chilean-American author renowned for her novels that blend magical realism with historical and political themes, often focusing on the lives of women. Her debut novel, *The House of the Spirits* (1982), is a family saga that spans several generations, set against the backdrop of Chilean political turmoil. The novel established her as a leading voice in Latin American literature. Allende’s works, including *Eva Luna* and *Daughter of Fortune*, explore themes like love, loss, exile, and the resilience of the human spirit. Many of her stories reflect her personal experiences with exile, as her family fled Chile following the 1973 military coup. Allende is celebrated for her vivid storytelling, strong female characters, and her exploration of social justice and human rights.

  • Buenos dias PCTI. In honor or Hispanic Heritage Month, today we highlight Frida Kahlo, a mexican painter known for her striking self-portraits and vivid depictions of pain, identity, and the female experience. She drew heavily from Mexican folk art, indigenous culture, and personal trauma, including her lifelong battle with health issues following a bus accident. Her work, often surreal and deeply introspective, explores themes of physical suffering, emotional turmoil, and love. Kahlo's most famous paintings include The Two Fridas and Self-Portrait with Thorn Necklace and Hummingbird. She became a feminist icon for her unapologetic portrayal of womanhood and is celebrated worldwide for her contributions to art and culture.

  • Happy Hispanic Heritage Month! Let's celebrate the linguistic ingenuity of the Maya. The Mayan writing system was a complex system that used glyphs to represent words and syllables. The Maya could combine these glyphs in various ways to create a wide range of expressions. While many glyphs represented entire words, others represented syllables, allowing for a more phonetic approach. This flexibility led to multiple possible spellings for many words. The Maya writing system influenced the Aztecs, who further developed it. Despite Spanish attempts to suppress it, the Maya continued to use their language and writing secretly for centuries.

  • Buenos dias PCTI. In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, today we highlight the country of Chile. Chileans love to celebrate Fiestas Patrias throughout the entire month of September. However, the actual holiday takes place on September 18th, today! (hoy!) On a day like today, September 18th, 1810 Chile began fighting for independence from Spain. But it wasn't until eight years later when they were finally considered an independent country. Chileans refer to the official holiday as “dieciocho.” This means “eighteen” in Spanish as the holiday falls on the 18th day of the month.The official national dance is called the “cueca,” which can be seen throughout the country. Everyone enjoys dancing cueca and many locals even compete in cueca dance competitions. In the capital city of Santiago, the military put on a huge parade on the 19th. This day is considered a national holiday as well. It commemorates the people in Chile who have given their lives to protect the country.

  • This week, in honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, we will begin each day with intention. The goal of beginning your day with intention is to understand that setting intentions can be incredibly beneficial. It helps cultivate a positive and proactive mindset, guiding your daily actions and decisions toward a more fulfilling life. Setting intentions can also lead to improved mental health, as it encourages mindfulness and a focus on the present moment. Today's Intention: I intend to be at peace with the things I cannot control in my life by seeing life less objectively. By enjoying the simple things in life, I will lead by example by being kindhearted and true to myself. The act of kindness could be minuscule, but the effect could be substantial. It has a ripple effect, inspiring others to pay it forward.
