This is the main post office built from 1889 to 1891 by the French in Saigon. It was built by the Eiffel company (as in the Eiffel tower) as part of the French Mission of Civilization to bring modernity and Christianity to whom the Europeans considered the backward peoples of the world.

In the series of photos after this are the plaques that go around the face of this Eiffel post office in Saigon which still functions as the main post office today. (click on photo and view note I’ve attached)

The people listed on the plaque are mostly Europeans who contributed to the enlightenment or scientific achievements which contributed to the industrial revolution. The Age of Enlightenment is the era in Western philosophy, intellectual, scientific and cultural life, centered upon the 18th century, in which reason was advocated as the primary source for legitimacy and authority. The "Enlightenment" was not a single movement or school of thought, for these philosophies were often mutually contradictory or divergent. The Enlightenment was less a set of ideas than it was a set of values. At its core was a critical questioning of traditional institutions, customs, and morals, and a strong belief in rationality and science.

The Enlightenment sought to systematically categorize, organize, explore, understand everything and as a result the industrial revolution came about which has changed the face of the earth. With the scientific method from Newton 17th Century, free-thinker sought to break religious and metaphysical dogmas of the past through examination. Diderot started the Encyclopedia, Rousseau and Kant sought to understand the human conscience and the nature of knowledge and developed social and political systems. Adam Smith published the Wealth of Nations in 1789 and ushered in the world Laissez-Faire economics, capitalism, believing that the benefits of the individual would in turn benefit or trickle down to the rest of society.

Society had already started to change from a rural/agrarian/feudal culture to an increasingly urban/industrialized one. The nature of work was changing as well, from guilds with master craftsmen and apprentices who designed, built and marketed their goods, to large format production with increasing specialized and repetitive tasks. The gradual introduction of machines in production increased the pace even more. The steam engines first developed by James Watts in 1769 (and its need for coal) and advances in the textile mills, like the Spinning Jenny & jacquard loom, required a huge number of workers for its factories, and displaced peasants streamed into the English, French and New England cities to find works in the factories and the coal mines. Industrialisation led to the creation of the factory. The factory system was largely responsible for the rise of the modern city, as large numbers of workers migrated into the cities in search of employment in the factories.

This was a period of colonial expansion in order to increase trade and obtain raw materials and cheap labor. Advances in transportation, most notably oceanliner steam ships and the expansion of national railways from 1840 onward, lead people to seek land and fortune in less crowded parts of the world. This migration frequently lead to the dissemination of trade secrets, especially in regards to the design of industrial machinery and precipitated the development of the Industrial Revolution in other parts of the world. The first textile US textile mill in Rhode Island began when a mill worker who had memorized the construction of the looms emigrated from England. Laws had been enacted to protect trade secrets, making the voyage of ex-factory workers very difficult. In terms of social structure, the Industrial Revolution witnessed the triumph of a middle class of industrialists and businessmen over a landed class of nobility and gentry.

Many countries had study teams of academics who would tour countries that were industrializing and copy their best practices. In order for the Kings or Emperors to keep the power of their empire they had to keep up with competing countries. One of the reasons Japan became industrialized while much of Southeast Asia and Asia was left behind was because of the Meiji reformers. The Japanese knew that they were behind the rest of the world. When American Commodore Matthew C. Perry came to Japan to try to issue a treaty that would open up Japanese ports to trade. Perry came to Japan in large warships with armament and technology that far outclassed those of Japan at the time. The leaders of the Meiji Restoration, as this revolution came to be known, acted in the name of restoring imperial rule in order to strengthen Japan against the threat represented by the colonial powers of the day. The word "Meiji" means "enlightened rule" and the goal was to combine "western advances" with the traditional, "eastern" values. The Meiji reformers often send

Marfan Syndrome and Cardiac Surgery Information Evening at Kilmacow Community Centre was
most interesting and informative. Kieran Mc Grath welcomed Prof Mark Redmond, Dr Darren
Mc Laughlin and Dr John Byrne. Kieran spoke about how the Mc Grath family first encountered Prof
Redmond. Geraldine Mc Grath’s first open heart surgery was unsuccessful and as the late Mr Maurice
Nelligan was retiring, he handed her medical notes over to Prof Redmond. Mr Nelligan strongly
endorsed Prof Redmond. Prof Redmond performed successful surgery on Geraldine and subsequently
three of Geraldine and Michael’s sons. Prof Redmond gave an update on Marfan research in Ireland and
how the funds raised are spent. He graciously acknowledged the generosity of people in the south
Kilkenny and Waterford area. Prof Redmond spoke in some detail about marfan surgery. He then went
onto speak about Bicuspid Valve Disease which is a serious medical condition which he encounters more
and more. This requires open heart surgery too.
Dr Darren Mc lauglin spoke about the current marfan research on mice in Ireland. He spoke about the
importance of beta-blockers in controlling blood pressure in marfan patients. Dr John Byrne spoke about
his part in marfan research and outlined how they presented a marfan research paper at the Marfan
Conference in America which was subsequently published. This is a huge achievement for such a small
country as Ireland.
There was a lively question and answer session which was most interesting. This was a unique
opportunity with three specialists together to impart valuable advice. Kieran Mc Grath acknowledged
the generous support Marfan Research receives from the local community. He stated the main annual
fundraisers were The Pony and Trap Drive organised by Billy Meaney and Mary Corcoran and The
Christmas Bag Pack at Super Value, Morgan St, Waterford. Kieran also welcomed Dr John Enright,
Mullinavat and Suzanne Redmond. He stated the total amount raised for marfan research to date was
€213,350 Prof Redmond was presented with a cheque for €30,000 on the night. It was a successful and
enjoyable evening and ended with a cuppa and a chat. More information on marfan syndrome research
