Astrology forecast for July 6-12Chris and Almie talk about the planet Uranus entering the sign of Gemini on Monday, July 7th. This will be the first time Uranus has been in Gemini since 1949. Historically speaking, Uranus in Gemini has a connection to U.S-involved wars, including World War II, the American Civil War, and the American Revolutionary War. Uranus in Gemini also suggests even more use of Artificial Intelligence, and big expansion in that world.They also talk about the Full Moon in Capricorn, which will be exact at 1:37pm pacific time on Thursday, July 10th. The Capricorn Full Moon could have us feeling ambitious, focusing on our career, and wanting to make improvements in those areas. And they touch on the Saturn Retrograde that starts on Saturday, July 12th, and they talk about how, believe it or not, “Saturn Retrograde” was once in consideration to be the title of the movie that everyone knows as “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.” In “Ask a Scorpio,” Chris plays a trivia game with Almie where she needs to guess the names of famous people who were born when Uranus was in Gemini.
On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, the economy is strong with robust job growth, low unemployment, minimal inflation, and declining prices for gas, food, and housing. The big, beautiful bill, now passed, has significant tax cuts and include more border security with increased ICE funding. There's a lot more to do but we should take a victory lap. Also, the Battle of Lexington and Concord, fought on April 19, 1775, marked the start of the American Revolutionary War. This battle, sparked by the "shot heard 'round the world," ignited the American fight for independence and demonstrated the colonists' resolve against British rule. The American Revolutionary War also included key events like the Battle of Bunker Hill, where American militia, led by Dr. Joseph Warren, faced British forces. On Bunker Hill, colonists initially repelled attacks but retreated after exhausting gunpowder. Warren, a prominent Boston doctor and revolutionary, stayed, fought, and was killed, later identified by Paul Revere through dental work. The Declaration of Independence (July 4, 1776) formalized the ongoing war, expressing colonial resolve. Many are unaware of these events and their significance to the nation's identity. Later, ‘On Power' explains that positive power is rooted in the sovereignty of God and the people and prioritizes the well-being of individuals over rulers. It underscores that a moral society is grounded in God-given truths, natural law, and unalienable rights, transcending any ruling class. An individual's life philosophy, shaped by practices, values, beliefs, and faith, significantly influences their role in society. Faith is essential to positive power, fostering virtuous societies, yet it can be misused by despotic regimes to justify brutality, highlighting its dual potential. Learn more about your ad choices.

Greg Jenner is joined in the eighteenth century by Professor Frank Cogliano and comedian and actor Patton Oswalt for a special Fourth of July episode all about the American War of Independence. Also known as the American Revolutionary War, 2025 marks 250 years since the start of the conflict in 1775, when the first battles between the British army and the colonial resistance were fought at Lexington and Concord. But what caused Britain's North American colonies to rebel against the king and government in London? At what point did they start to see themselves as American and not British? And how did a colonial militia take on an imperial superpower? This episode charts the growing rift between Britain and its American colonists, taking in famous events like the Boston Massacre, the Boston Tea Party and the calling of the first Continental Congress, all the way through to the Declaration of Independence and the course of the revolutionary war itself. We learn how America fought to free itself from the shackles of British rule, and meet some well-known names from history, including Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin and George Washington. And we also ask whose freedom was being fought for, and who – such as Black and Indigenous Americans – got left behind. If you're a fan of fearless freedom fighters, political wrangling and stunning military victories, you'll love our episode on the American War of Independence.If you want more American political history, listen to our episode on Becoming America, or episodes on abolitionists Frederick Douglass and Sojourner Truth.

fWotD Episode 2982: George Washington Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Friday, 4 July 2025, is George Washington.George Washington (February 22, 1732 [O. S. February 11, 1731] – December 14, 1799) was a Founding Father and the first president of the United States, serving from 1789 to 1797. As commander of the Continental Army, Washington led Patriot forces to victory in the American Revolutionary War against the British Empire. He is commonly known as the Father of the Nation for his role in bringing about American independence.Born in the Colony of Virginia, Washington became the commander of the Virginia Regiment during the French and Indian War (1754–1763). He was later elected to the Virginia House of Burgesses, and opposed the perceived oppression of the American colonists by the British Crown. When the American Revolutionary War against the British began in 1775, Washington was appointed commander-in-chief of the Continental Army. He directed a poorly organized and equipped force against disciplined British troops. Washington and his army achieved an early victory at the Siege of Boston in March 1776 but were forced to retreat from New York City in November. Washington crossed the Delaware River and won the battles of Trenton in late 1776 and Princeton in early 1777, then lost the battles of Brandywine and Germantown later that year. He faced criticism of his command, low troop morale, and a lack of provisions for his forces as the war continued. Ultimately Washington led a combined French and American force to a decisive victory over the British at Yorktown in 1781. In the resulting Treaty of Paris in 1783, the British acknowledged the sovereign independence of the United States. Washington then served as president of the Constitutional Convention in 1787, which drafted the current Constitution of the United States.Washington was unanimously elected the first U. S. president by the Electoral College in 1788 and 1792. He implemented a strong, well-financed national government while remaining impartial in the fierce rivalry that emerged within his cabinet between Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton. During the French Revolution, he proclaimed a policy of neutrality while supporting the Jay Treaty with Britain. Washington set enduring precedents for the office of president, including republicanism, a peaceful transfer of power, the use of the title "Mr. President", and the two-term tradition. His 1796 farewell address became a preeminent statement on republicanism: Washington wrote about the importance of national unity and the dangers that regionalism, partisanship, and foreign influence pose to it. As a planter of tobacco and wheat at Mount Vernon, Washington owned many slaves. He began opposing slavery near the end of his life, and provided in his will for the eventual manumission of his slaves.Washington's image is an icon of American culture and he has been extensively memorialized; his namesakes include the national capital and the State of Washington. In both popular and scholarly polls, he is consistently considered one of the greatest presidents in American history.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:46 UTC on Friday, 4 July 2025.For the full current version of the article, see George Washington on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Olivia.

Canada and the Blackface Atlantic: Performing Slavery, Conflict, and Freedom, 1812-1897 (Wilfred Laurier University Press, 2025) traces the origins of theatre, dance, and concert singing in Canada and their connection to British and American song and dance traditions. When theatrical acts first appeared in the late eighteenth century, chattel slavery had transformed into mass entertainment on minstrel stages across the Atlantic world. As railroads and theatres were built, local blackface troupes emerged alongside touring British and American acts. By the 1850s, blackface theatre could be found in remote Western outposts to stages in Central and Maritime Canada. This is one of the first books to connect the rise of Canadian blackface minstrelsy with the emergence of Black singers, and choral groups. It describes how Black performers who assumed minstrelsy's mask remapped plantation slavery on Canadian stages. It begins with the conflicts that shaped North America – the American Revolutionary War, and the War of 1812. Next, it connects these origins with eighteenth-century British immigration, which brought folk dances and masking traditions to North America. From there, it unmasks when and how “Jim Crow” became an Atlantic world sensation, which set the stage for blackface to expand. Finally, it considers how Black acts reimagined the parameters of their own freedom. Find Dr. Thompson on her website and the website of Mapping Ontario's Black Archives, on BlueSky, and on Substack.

John Fitzgerald was very close with General George Washington during the Revolutionary War in Valley Forge and Princeton. Fitzgerald was an Irish-Catholic, who earned the trust of the most important man in the colonies and started the first Catholic parish in Virginia. With the 250th anniversary of the United States coming up next year, it is the perfect time to take a look at some Irish people who played a role in the creation of the country.

250 years ago, the American Revolutionary War effectively began with fighting at Lexington and Concord. Among the British soldiers present was Hugh Percy, eldest son of the 1st Duke and Duchess of Northumberland, and future 2nd Duke.What was the heir to Alnwick Castle doing in America? What did he think of the country soon to be known as the United States? And what is his connection to Charles Lee (of Hamilton fame), who would become second-in-command to George Washington himself?To answer these questions, and many more, we spoke to one of our favourite regular guests on the podcast, Bill Openshaw, whose new book The Road To Lexington chronicles Percy's letters and papers from his time in America, studied comprehensively for the first time. (You will also hear about a new discovery, of letters by another man from Alnwick who served in America, William Charleton.)You can get a copy of the book from major online retailers, or right here at the Alnwick Castle gift shop.For more about the 2nd Duke and Bill, look in our podcast back catalogue for episodes 'To the Call of Bugles', 'The 2nd Duke of Northumberland', and 'The Percy Tenantry Volunteers'.Enjoy the episode?

I'm back this week with four more shipwreck stories. We'll start with the horrific explosion of the Mississippi river steamboat, the Sultana in 1865. Next, we'll tackle the Titanic which famously sank in 1912, killing around 1,500 passengers. On to another famous ship, the Endeavor. The Endeavor was the British naval ship used by explorer Captain James Cook during his first voyage of discovery which landed him in Australia, New Zealand, and Tahiti in the mid 1700s. Later the ship changed hands and was eventually used and intentionally sunk during the American Revolutionary War. Finally, I'll end with what is, quite possibly, one of the most controversial shipwrecks ever found, the San Jose. This Spanish galleon has been called the "holy grail" of shipwrecks because it was supposedly carrying treasure worth up to 17 billion dollars today when it went down in 1708. As five plus countries argue over the San Jose's treasure, the ethical question remains - what should be done with these shipwrecks?Support the show!

This is a conversation to kick off the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution. Retired U.S. Army Major General and history buff, Bill Rapp, drops some knowledge on how the colonies weren't exactly gung-ho for a full-blown revolution before April 1775. Turns out, they were mostly ticked off and feeling rebellious in response to intolerable British policies. But a tense situation and an itchy trigger finger set it off. The episode covers the action-packed Battles of Lexington and Concord, George Washington taking charge of the Continental Army, the intense Battle of Bunker Hill (which was actually fought on Breed's Hill), and the clever move at Dorchester Heights that sent the British packing from Boston. William “Bill” Rapp is a retired Major General of the United States Army with 33 years of distinguished service which included combat deployments in three wars, two Defense Service Medals, two Bronze Star Medals, Master Parachutist and Ranger tabs. He was not only a respected Army officer, but also a leadership developer who served as Commandant of the Army War College and Commandant of Cadets at the US Military Academy at West Point. In over 42 months in combat, Bill led an airborne engineer company in the first Gulf War, commanded a 3,000-soldier brigade in the Iraq War, served as General Petraeus' personal assistant during the Iraq Surge, and commanded over 17,000 troops supplying all resource needs of the 160,000 U.S. and international force in Afghanistan in 2011-12. He also served as the Army's senior liaison to the U.S. Congress. Bill holds a PhD in Political Science from Stanford University and is the author of the book about the Boston Campaign of the American Revolutionary War titled Accomplishing the Impossible: Leadership That Launched Revolutionary Change. He now consults and teaches on leadership and is working on his second book on Sioux and Cheyenne leadership at the Battle of the Little Bighorn.

On 19th April, 1775, just over 250 years ago, the opening salvos of the American Revolutionary War were fired at the battles of Lexington and Concord. Elite British Redcoats went head-to-head with the famed provincial Minutemen in bloody skirmishes across the Province of Massachusetts Bay. Ultimately, the British were forced to retreat, and the provincial victory galvanised colonial support for the cause of independence.In today's Explainer episode, Dan travels to the sites of these momentous battles and takes us through that day from beginning to end - how did a political crisis transform into open rebellion, and what would it have been like to actually be there?Written and produced by Dan Snow, and edited by Dougal Patmore.Sign up to History Hit for hundreds of hours of original documentaries, with a new release every week and ad-free podcasts.

The American Revolutionary War began 250 years ago Saturday. You probably know the political reasons behind the American colonists' fight for independence, but there were major economic grievances, as well. Today, we're taking a look back. Plus, the Trump administration has moved to fire most staffers at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. And despite attempts at a revival from the Trump administration, the future of coal will likely continue to look bleak.

Patrick Henry is one of the most famous voices of the American Revolution. He was known in his own time for his powerful speeches and his unwavering commitment to liberty. But did you know that later in life, Patrick Henry opposed the United States Constitution? Did you know that during the political crisis of 1798/99, George Washington wrote to Patrick Henry and asked him to save the nation? In honor of the 250th anniversary of Patrick Henry's most famous speech, “Give Me Liberty, or Give Me Death,” award-winning historian John Ragosta joins us to investigate the life and work of Patrick Henry.

In February 1825, Samuel Morse, was painting in New York City, blissfully unaware of the tragic news that was about to befall him. At the age of 34, he was carrying out a $1000 commission to paint the Marquis de Lafayette, a returning American Revolutionary War hero, and life was going well. Little did Morse know, however, that his wife, Lucretia, had suffered a heart attack in their New Haven, Ct. home just days after giving birth to their third child, James. What should have been a time of joy was, instead, one of immense sorrow.Go to The Missing Chapter Podcast website for more information, previous episodes, and professional development opportunities!

fWotD Episode 2860: James Madison Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Tuesday, 4 March 2025 is James Madison.James Madison (March 16, 1751 [O. S. March 5, 1750] – June 28, 1836) was an American statesman, diplomat, and Founding Father who served as the fourth president of the United States from 1809 to 1817. Madison was popularly acclaimed the "Father of the Constitution" for his pivotal role in drafting and promoting the Constitution of the United States and the Bill of Rights.Madison was born into a prominent slave-owning planter family in Virginia. In 1774, strongly opposed to British taxation, Madison joined with the Patriots. He was a member of the Virginia House of Delegates and the Continental Congress during and after the American Revolutionary War. Dissatisfied with the weak national government established by the Articles of Confederation, he helped organize the Constitutional Convention, which produced a new constitution designed to strengthen republican government against democratic assembly. Madison's Virginia Plan was the basis for the convention's deliberations. He became one of the leaders in the movement to ratify the Constitution and joined Alexander Hamilton and John Jay in writing The Federalist Papers, a series of pro-ratification essays that remain prominent among works of political science in American history. Madison emerged as an important leader in the House of Representatives and was a close adviser to President George Washington. During the early 1790s, Madison opposed the economic program and the accompanying centralization of power favored by Secretary of the Treasury Hamilton. Alongside Thomas Jefferson, he organized the Democratic–Republican Party in opposition to Hamilton's Federalist Party. Madison served as Jefferson's Secretary of State from 1801 to 1809, during which time he helped convince Jefferson to submit the Louisiana Purchase Treaty for approval by the Senate.Madison was elected president in 1808. Motivated by a desire to acquire land held by Britain, Spain, and Native Americans, and after diplomatic protests with a trade embargo failed to end British seizures of American-shipped goods, Madison led the United States into the War of 1812. Although the war ended inconclusively, many Americans viewed it as a successful "second war of independence" against Britain. Madison was re-elected in 1812. The war convinced Madison of the necessity of a stronger federal government. He presided over the creation of the Second Bank of the United States and the enactment of the protective Tariff of 1816. By treaty or through war, Native American tribes ceded 26 million acres (11 million ha) of land to the United States during Madison's presidency.Retiring from public office at the end of his presidency in 1817, Madison returned to his plantation, Montpelier, where he died in 1836. Madison was a slave owner; he freed one slave in 1783 to prevent a slave rebellion at Montpelier but did not free any in his will. Historians regard Madison as one of the most significant Founding Fathers of the United States, and have generally ranked him as an above-average president, although they are critical of his endorsement of slavery and his leadership during the War of 1812. Madison's name is commemorated in many landmarks across the nation, with prominent examples including Madison Square Garden, James Madison University, the James Madison Memorial Building, the capitol city of Wisconsin, and the USS James Madison.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:07 UTC on Tuesday, 4 March 2025.For the full current version of the article, see James Madison on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Kendra.

This Day in Legal History: Treaty of ParisOn January 14, 1784, the Continental Congress ratified the Treaty of Paris, formally concluding the American Revolutionary War. This monumental event solidified the United States' independence from Great Britain, marking a turning point in world history. Negotiated in 1783 and signed on September 3 of that year, the treaty was a carefully crafted agreement between representatives of the United States and Great Britain. Ratification by Congress was required to finalize the agreement, and its approval on this day ensured compliance with international diplomatic norms.The Treaty of Paris recognized the sovereignty of the United States and established its borders, extending from the Atlantic Ocean to the Mississippi River and from Canada to the northern boundary of Spanish Florida. In addition to territorial gains, the treaty contained provisions for the repayment of debts, the return of confiscated property to Loyalists, and the withdrawal of British troops from American territory.The ratification process underscored the fledgling nation's commitment to the principles of diplomacy and the rule of law, as Congress navigated the logistical and political challenges of convening delegates during a harsh winter. This event also reflected the fragile unity of the 13 colonies, which worked together to achieve a peaceful resolution to years of conflict.The Treaty of Paris laid the groundwork for the United States' future as an independent republic. It established precedents for territorial negotiations and diplomatic relations, serving as a testament to the resilience and determination of the Revolutionary generation. January 14, 1784, stands as a pivotal date in legal history, symbolizing the birth of a nation under the framework of international law.A federal judge in Florida, Aileen Cannon, ruled that Attorney General Merrick Garland can release part of the final report on the federal criminal investigations into Donald Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election. However, Cannon extended her previous order barring the Justice Department from releasing the second part of the report, which pertains to the investigation into Trump's alleged retention of classified documents and related obstruction. Garland had intended to keep the second volume confidential but planned to share it with senior members of Congress. Cannon scheduled a hearing for January 17 to review this matter further.Co-defendants Waltine Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira, who opposed the report's release, might appeal Cannon's decision. While Trump is not a formal party to the case, his lawyers have expressed opposition to releasing the report, and he filed an amicus brief. Cannon emphasized her limited jurisdiction over the documents-related volume and noted insufficient grounds to block the release of the election-related section. However, she underscored that even partial disclosure to Congress could compromise the legal rights of the defendants.Smith, who previously secured indictments against Trump, later dropped charges post-election following DOJ policy against prosecuting sitting presidents. A pending DOJ appeal seeks to overturn Cannon's broader restrictions on the report. A prior appeals court ruling rejected Nauta and De Oliveira's emergency bid to block the report's release entirely. Cannon's latest order maintains restrictions on the second volume until further court deliberation.Judge Clears Release of Trump Special Counsel Report on ElectionUS judge allows DOJ to release report on Trump's election subversion case | ReutersThe state of Texas has sued Allstate, accusing the insurance company of illegally tracking drivers through their cell phones without consent. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton alleged that Allstate built a vast driving behavior database, tracking over 45 million Americans by paying mobile app developers to embed tracking software into apps like Fuel Rewards, GasBuddy, Life360, and its own app, Routely. The lawsuit claims Allstate used this data to raise insurance premiums, deny coverage, and sell information to other insurers.Allstate allegedly expanded its data collection by purchasing vehicle location data directly from manufacturers, including Toyota, Lexus, Mazda, and Stellantis brands like Chrysler and Jeep, to more precisely determine when policyholders were driving. The lawsuit argues these practices violate Texas laws on data privacy, data brokerage, and deceptive acts by insurers. Texas is seeking restitution for consumers, damages, fines of up to $10,000 per violation, and the destruction of improperly collected data.This follows a similar lawsuit Paxton filed last year against General Motors for collecting and selling driver data without consent. Allstate has not yet responded to the allegations.Texas sues Allstate for collecting driver data without consent | ReutersNew York's Affordable Broadband Act (ABA), requiring Internet providers to offer low-cost plans for low-income residents, will take effect on January 15, 2025, after a prolonged legal battle. The law mandates that providers offer plans priced at $15 per month for at least 25Mbps or $20 per month for 200Mbps, inclusive of recurring fees and equipment rental costs. Annual price increases are capped at 2%, and state officials will periodically review speed requirements.The ABA's implementation follows a significant court victory, with a U.S. appeals court upholding the law in April 2024 and the Supreme Court declining to review the broadband industry's challenge in December 2024. The law is seen as a critical measure to address the digital divide, especially after the FCC's broadband discount program expired in 2024, leaving 1.7 million New York households without federal assistance.Exemptions are available for smaller ISPs serving fewer than 20,000 households if compliance would cause financial strain. Over 40 ISPs sought exemptions before the law was initially blocked in 2021. Providers seeking long-term exemptions must submit financial details by February 15, 2025. Noncompliance can result in civil penalties of up to $1,000 per violation. Major ISPs, including Charter Spectrum, Comcast, Optimum, and Verizon, already offer discounted plans, but New York's law ensures standardization and broader accessibility for low-income residents.New York starts enforcing $15 broadband law that ISPs tried to kill - Ars Technica This is a public episode.

“ And I felt that it was silly that the birthplace of American Liberty didn't have an inn, because inns and taverns were so fundamental and so important to the beginning of the Revolution. Inns and taverns were crossroads where people would come together. They would exchange ideas. They would share the news.” We're in great company with Trisha Pérez Kennealy, the proud steward of the Inn at Hastings Park, a luxury boutique hotel nestled in the quintessential New England town of Lexington, Massachusetts, located just steps from the Lexington Battle Green where the “shot heard round the world” took place and the American Revolutionary War began. Today, the Inn at Hastings Park stands proud as a Relais & Châteaux property celebrating Lexington's reverence for its rich history, its eclectic mixture of cultures, and the bounty of New England cuisine. In this episode, Trisha welcomes us to take a step back in time while encouraging us to think about the future, sharing her recipe for good food and gracious hospitality that she has passionately crafted to pave the way. Top Takeaways [1:40] Trisha tells her tale of a colorful childhood moving from an island in the Caribbean to a quintessential New England town and the cultural heritage of both communities she learned to appreciate along the way. [15:20] How does it feel to call the “Birthplace of American Liberty” home you ask? It comes with an incredible responsibility and honor to steward its sense of history and purpose into the future. [19:45] It takes a delicate balance of historic heritage and contemporary American aesthetic to restore 22 uniquely appointed rooms and suites into award-winning luxury accommodations. [29:30] As a talented chef, teacher and tastemaker, passionate about the agricultural history that surrounds her, expect to see, sip and savor the bounty of New England with Trisha's cuisine and culinary experiences. [36:00] With the 250th anniversary of the Battle of Lexington taking place this April, the Inn At Hastings Park is serving up a variety of American Revolution inspired programming that they invite guests to celebrate together with their local community all year long. [42:50] Trisha shares some words of wisdom from Louisa May Alcott's Little Women, "I'm not afraid of storms for I am learning how to sail my ship,” and “I like good strong words that mean something.” Notable Mentions Cary Memorial Library Lexington Field & Garden Club New England Interior Design Robin Gannon Interiors Sister Parish Design Peter Fasano Dunes and Duchess O & G Studio Brahms Mount Matouk Friedman School of Nutrition at Tufts University “Three Sisters” of corn, beans and squash Wilson Farm Founding Gardeners by Andrea Wulf Codman Community Farms Schlesinger Library My Life In France by Julia Childs Visit For Yourself Inn at Hastings Park Website | @innhastingspark @townmeetingbistro | @trishaperezkennealy Stay In Good Company Website

Before Benedict Arnold's name became synonymous with 'traitor,' he had been hailed as a hero of the American Revolutionary War. His rise from militiaman to trusted ally of George Washington was the stuff of legends. But instead of being honored with, say, his likeness on American currency, he committed an act of treason so heinous that his name is still hurled as an insult to this day.

Tonight, we'll read an excerpt from 1892's “The Chemistry of Cookery” by W. Mattieu Williams that we titled Count Rumford's Substitute for Tea and Coffee. Snoozecast first read this excerpt back in 2020. Benjamin Thompson, also known as Count Rumford, was an interesting fellow. Born in Massachusetts in 1753, he charmed and married an heiress from Concord, New Hampshire, then called Rumford, NH. He was a British loyalist when the American Revolutionary War began. When a rebel mob attacked his house, he abandoned his house and family to join the British side of the war and conducted experiments on gunpowder. Then he moved to Bavaria, and among other things applied his scientific skills to establishing workhouses for the poor and inventing the method of cooking called Sous Vide. For his efforts in science and society his awarded the title of Count. He chose the name Rumford for the town he was married in some twenty years earlier. — read by 'V' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!
