In 1664, England decided to invade the Dutch-controlled city of New Amsterdam on Manhattan Island. Charles II and his brother, the Duke of York, had dreams of empire, and their archrivals, the Dutch, were in the way.

Bristling with vibrant characters, Taking Manhattan reveals the founding of New York to be an invention, the result of creative negotiations that would blend the multiethnic, capitalistic society of New Amsterdam with the power of the rising English empire. But the birth of what might be termed the first modern city is also a story of the brutal dispossession of Native Americans and of the roots of American slavery. The book draws from newly translated materials and illuminates neglected histories―of religious refugees, Indigenous tribes, and free and enslaved Africans. Taking Manhattan tells the riveting story of the birth of New York City as a center of capitalism and pluralism, a foundation from which America would rise. It also shows how the paradox of New York's origins―boundless opportunity coupled with subjugation and displacement―reflects America's promise and failure to this day.

PREVIEW: Conversation with Russell Shorto, author of the new "Taking Manhattan," regarding the legendary and fictional event when Dutch settlers supposedly bought Manhattan Island for $24 of trinkets. Much more later in the new week. 1636 NEW AMSTERDAM

Seeking to wrest control of New Amsterdam from the Dutch in 1664, the English King Charles II and his brother, the Duke of York, appointed Richard Nicolls to lead a flotilla to conquer Manhattan Island. Nicolls, with a blend of might and diplomatic tact, would make the integration of Dutch colonists a vital part of his takeover, birthing what was in many ways the blueprint of the modern city. Russell Shorto joins David M. Rubenstein to discuss New York's origins and how a period of 17th-century imperial conflict and diplomacy between the British and the Dutch shaped the city we know today. Recorded on February 21, 2025

Today, we are joined by our friend Max Derrat to analyze the ending of Metal Gear Solid 2! If you haven't heard of him, check out his channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@maxderrat/featured After escaping from Arsenal Gear, the fortress falls out of the sky and crashes into Manhattan Island. Raiden is contacted by a different AI impersonating the Colonel and Rose. It states that GW was the only AI destroyed and that the S3 Plan's real purpose is to stop society's regression in the digital era from trivial information drowning knowledge and truth. The AI believes that humanity is too immature to handle the flow of information responsibly, citing Raiden's lack of individuality and reliance on others for direction as an example when he protests the plan. The AI orders Raiden to eliminate Solidus—telling him that refusal will result in the deaths of Rose and Olga's child. After Raiden defeats Solidus, Snake appears after tracking Liquid. Snake and Otacon plan to rescue Olga's child and locate the Patriots, whose details were hidden in the GW virus disc. Raiden is then reunited with the real Rose. In the epilogue, Otacon and Snake decode Ocelot's disk, which contains data on all twelve members of the Patriots' highest council, the Wiseman's Committee. However, the members have allegedly been dead for 100 years.

COLD CASE OF ARSON 1776:  8/8: The Great New York Fire of 1776: A Lost Story of the American Revolution by  Benjamin L. Carp https://www.amazon.com/Great-New-York-Fire-1776/dp/0300246951 New York City, the strategic center of the Revolutionary War, was the most important place in North America in 1776. That summer, an unruly rebel army under George Washington repeatedly threatened to burn the city rather than let the British take it. Shortly after the Crown's forces took New York City, much of it mysteriously burned to the ground.   This is the first book to fully explore the Great Fire of 1776 and why its origins remained a mystery even after the British investigated it in 1776 and 1783. Uncovering stories of espionage, terror, and radicalism, Benjamin L. Carp paints a vivid picture of the chaos, passions, and unresolved tragedies that define a historical moment we usually associate with “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” 1776 HMS Phoenix and Rose defeat fireships off Manhattan Island

Vicki tells the story of how she swam around Manhattan Island. She talks about how she prepared, including talking to Jaimie Monahan - who has swum around it more times than anyone else. She heads down to Brighton Beach to swim with CIBBOWS the Coney Island and Brighton Beach Open Water Swimmers. Through recordings from the day made by Oonagh Gormley, her crew and wife, and her own memories from the swim, a rich aural story is woven. From the event organisers New York Open Water we meet the kayaker, observer and boat captain. Plus we hear from family and friends at home following the unfolding story via the gps tracker and WhatsApp.  Find out more: ⁠@swimoutpodcast ⁠or ⁠swimout.net⁠ @Jaimie Monahan @CIBBOWS @New York Open Water @wildswimmingsocks @wen_swim_the_channel @20 Bridges #swimming #openwaterswimming #doverchannelswimming

There is a roughly four-minute sequence in the middle of the first Superman movie (1978) that hits the stratosphere of movie emotion -- and of real-life emotion, too. It is the scene in which Superman takes Lois Lane's hand and flies her leisuredly over Manhattan Island. As the pair glide over the city, Lois Lane (played by Margot Kidder) confides her innermost thoughts to the viewer: she has fallen completely in love with Superman, and that is because he has singled her out as the object of his most personal regard. The sequence is monumental in feeling and memory because it sums up the sequence of romantic loving -- and also the sequence of God's loving of poor us. Because Superman has singled out Lois for his most tender regard, she responds with her entire self. She voices her feelings in this way: "Here I am like a kid out of school. Holding hands with a god. I'm a fool. Will you look at me? Quivering. Like a little girl shivering. You can see right through me. Can you read my mind? Can you picture the things I'm thinking of? Wondering why you are all the wonderful things you are. You can fly! You belong in the sky. You and I could belong to each other. If you need a friend, I'm the one to fly to. If you need to be loved, here I am. Read my mind." What this demonstrates is that love does not start with loving someone, but rather with being loved by someone. I need to be the object of someone's love before I can actually love someone myself. Now capitalize the 's' - S - and the analogy to the Christian Gospel becomes palpable. Instantly palpable! All love begins as One-Way Love: not love from me but love to me. So go now and look up that sequence in Superman from 1978. It's easy to find. And it's the truth of life. And not a truth of life. But the truth of life. LUV U.

This is a large and glorious historic hotel that hosted the rich, powerful and famous decades ago. Join us for the history and hauntings of the Arlington Resort Hotel and Spa.

Boatlift: Recalling the maritime evacuation during 9/11 in Manhattan, which showed us the best we can be Today, on the 23rd anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks on NYC and Washington, DC, we remember "Operation Boatlift": a stunning display of people helping people - as hundreds of private boat owners joined the US Coast Guard to evacuate stranded victims from Manhattan Island after the World Trade Center collapsed. It's an unforgettable look at humans being the best we can be. Transcript here: http://shipreport.nfshost.com/audio/SRTranscript091124.pdf

Although I do live a dual life when it comes to colleagues, co-workers, and friends, I am an open book to the right people. The author of Living with crossdressing - the new normal, discusses more about her life than many people do with whom she interacts with on a daily basis.Savannah is from Detroit, Michigan, where the climate of acceptability in the 80s and 90s was less than stellar for crossdressers and other transgender folks. Twenty years ago, she moved to the big city of Manhattan Island for work-related reasons and discovered a world (or a couple of boroughs) where alternative lifestyles were so much more socially acceptable. Eventually, Savannah moved out onto Long Island to live, work, love and explore both my masculinity and femininity. Now, she currently lives in a new regional culture of the Upstate of South Carolina.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/no-limits-podcast--5110273/support.

Dean Summers grew up in the working-class suburb of Palmyra close to the port and beaches of Fremantle, Western Australia. As a kid, he, his two brothers, and sister swam competitively in the Fremantle Swimming club. He claims to have spent more time at the beach than at school.At 16 Dean joined the merchant navy (which he refers to as the family business) and sailed out of Fremantle on his first ship, the MV Boogalla. The main focus at sea, he jokes, is to stay out of the water. He effectively didn't swim seriously for the next 37 years.Dean is a former elected official of the Seamen's Union of Australia later to become the Maritime Union of Australia, MUA. In 2000 Dean became the Australian National Coordinator of the International Transport Workers Federation and moved to Sydney. The ITF represents and defends the world's 1.3 million seafarers.In 2013 Dean joined Vlad, a Sydney coach with a dedicated following of long-distance swimmers, and began his journey in the demanding international sport of open water marathon swimming. Vlad now boasts the largest stable of Australian long-distance and channel swimmers.After two years of training alongside some of the best long-distance swimmers in Australia, Dean swam the English Channel. In the next 12 months, he went on to claim the Catalina Channel and to circumnavigate Manhattan Island in New York. This is known as the Triple Crown of Open Water Swimming. Dean became the 137th person to achieve it.Dean is an accomplished Oceans Seven swimmer, a near-impossible series of seven international swims which test the bravery, strength, determination, and resilience of anyone who comes close to it. Dean has six of the seven – English, Catalina, North, and Moloka'i Channel, the Strait of Gibraltar as well as the Cook Strait. The remaining one, the Tsugaru Strait, has been removed from the international swim calendar.After his Newcastle to Sydney swim, he now holds the record for the longest Australian ocean swim of 95.6km.Dean resigned from all work commitments early in 2021 and continues to train and mentor others in the sport of ocean swimming.________________Sponsor DiscountsUse the code 'HAYDEN10' for 10% Off VPA Australia SupplementsDiscount also available at: www.vpa.com.au/HAYDEN10________________Follow us on social media!Instagram: @normlesspodcast YouTube: www.youtube.com/@normlessFacebook: www.facebook.com/normlesspodcast/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/norm...TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@normlesspodcastWebsite: normlesspodcast.simplecast.com________________Hayden Kelly, ESSAM, AES, AEP, MHPSHost of the NORMLESS podcastConnect with me on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn Website: www.haydenkelly.com.au________________Want to support the show?The best way to show your support is by providing a review on the Apple Podcast app, Spotify or via our facebook page.You can also stay in the loop with the latest podcast updates, news and information by subscribing to our mailing list.

In the 19th century, New York City was one of the fastest-growing cities in the world.  However, it was still a very young city, and as such, the city's leaders were able to take a step back and plan what exactly they wanted to future of the city to be.  What they decided was that the city needed a park. Not just any park, but a great park that took up an enormous part of Manhattan Island.  Learn more about Central Park and how it became one of the world's greatest parks on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

This Day in Legal History: The Incorporation of the City of New AmsterdamOn this day in legal history, February 2nd marks a significant moment with the incorporation of the City of New Amsterdam in 1653 by the Dutch Republic. This historic event laid the groundwork for what would become one of the most influential cities in the world. Situated on the southern tip of Manhattan Island, New Amsterdam served as a pivotal trading and administrative center of the Dutch colony of New Netherland. Its strategic location played a crucial role in the burgeoning trade network between the New World and Europe.However, the city's Dutch identity was not to last. In 1664, following the British conquest, New Amsterdam underwent a profound transformation, symbolized by its renaming to New York in honor of the Duke of York. This change marked a significant shift not just in governance but in the cultural and legal fabric of the city. The British takeover introduced English legal practices and administrative structures, which would influence the development of New York and, by extension, the emerging United States.Today, as we reflect on the incorporation of New Amsterdam, we recognize it as a moment of convergence between Dutch and English legal traditions that would shape the character of New York City. The legacy of this transformation is still evident in the city's diverse cultural tapestry, its role as a global economic powerhouse, and its legal system, which continues to influence international law and commerce. The story of New Amsterdam's incorporation and its subsequent renaming to New York serves as a reminder of the dynamic and ever-evolving nature of legal and urban history.Proskauer, a prominent Big Law firm, has successfully reached a confidential settlement with its former chief operating officer, Jonathan O'Brien, concluding a legal battle over allegations of trade secret theft. This dispute centered on O'Brien's accused misappropriation of sensitive electronic files detailing the firm's finances, business strategies, and billing rates. Proskauer initiated the lawsuit following O'Brien's sudden resignation in December 2022, amid claims he intended to utilize these files for a prospective position at competing firm Paul Hastings—a move that ultimately did not transpire. O'Brien has contested these accusations, arguing his actions were merely to facilitate work related to his departure while on vacation in a remote location. The settlement, detailed in a court submission, seeks a permanent injunction preventing O'Brien from retaining or employing the disputed confidential materials. Despite the resolution, representatives for both parties have yet to publicly comment on the matter. Before this legal fray, O'Brien, a UK national non-lawyer, had contributed five years of service as Proskauer's COO.Proskauer Reaches Settlement with Ex-COO in Trade Secrets RowThe verdict in the $370 million civil fraud case against former U.S. President Donald Trump, overseen by Justice Arthur Engoron, is now expected to be delivered in early to mid-February, following a three-month trial last year. Initially, Justice Engoron aimed to conclude by the end of January, but this timeline has been extended. The lawsuit, filed by New York Attorney General Letitia James, accuses Trump and his family businesses of inflating his net worth by up to $3.6 billion annually over ten years to obtain favorable loan conditions. Trump has rebutted these claims, denouncing the lawsuit as a politically motivated attack by James, a Democrat.If found liable, Trump could face significant consequences, including monetary penalties and a permanent ban from the New York real estate sector, significantly impacting his business operations within the state. This legal battle unfolds as Trump campaigns for the Republican nomination to run against President Joe Biden in the upcoming election. Engoron had previously determined in September that Trump committed fraud, leading to an order to partially dissolve his business empire, a decision Trump is appealing. The final arguments were made on January 11, with Trump criticizing Engoron directly in court for alleged bias, prompting a call for decorum from the judge.Trump civil fraud verdict now expected by mid-February | ReutersActivist investors at Tesla are poised to leverage a recent Delaware court ruling against CEO Elon Musk's $56 billion stock compensation package to push for corporate governance reforms. The court's decision, which criticized Tesla's board for its deference to Musk, has emboldened these investors, who have struggled in the past to secure significant changes at shareholder meetings. They argue that the ruling could sway major index funds and investors to support their resolutions, such as altering the voting threshold for corporate changes to a simple majority. Tesla has not yet scheduled its annual shareholder meeting, typically held in May, where only a few directors, including Musk's brother Kimbal and James Murdoch, are up for re-election. Both directors previously faced opposition from proxy advisers over concerns related to executive compensation, and activist investors expect advisory firms like ISS and Glass Lewis to bolster their case against Tesla's board this year. Additionally, a new shareholder resolution proposes annual re-elections for all directors, challenging the current staggered board system. With Musk holding a significant voting stake, critics will need support from major mutual fund holders to effect change. The Delaware judge's scathing review of the board's negotiation process for Musk's compensation plan may also prompt Tesla's top investors to reconsider their stance on governance issues.Tesla activist investors to seize on Elon Musk pay ruling | ReutersTexas Supreme Court Justice John Devine has been notably absent from more than half of the court's oral arguments since the current term began in September, opting instead to campaign for re-election. Despite the critical nature of the cases being heard, including those concerning Texas' abortion ban and laws regarding medical treatment for transgender children, Devine has missed 28 of the 50 argued cases. His absence from these proceedings, while not violating the state's elections code, has sparked debate about his ability to fulfill his judicial responsibilities. Devine, who is running for a third term and faces a primary challenge, defends his campaign activities as part of his duties, asserting that he remains informed by reviewing case briefs and watching archived video of the proceedings he misses. However, this approach prevents him from directly questioning lawyers during arguments, potentially impacting his grasp of complex legal issues. Critics, including his primary opponent Justice Brian Walker, argue that Devine's priorities may not align with the judicial code of conduct, which emphasizes the precedence of judicial duties over other activities. Despite the controversy, Devine's campaign has been financially successful, raising significant funds and outpacing his opponent in the lead-up to the primary. This situation underscores the tension between the demands of electoral politics and the expectations of judicial office, highlighting the unique challenges faced by elected judges in balancing these roles.Justice Misses Half of Texas Supreme Court Arguments to CampaignThis week's closing music features the vibrant Allegro from Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy's Violin Concerto in E minor, Op. 64, a masterpiece that has captivated audiences and performers alike with its lyrical beauty and innovative structure. It was Mendelssohn's final concerto before his untimely death due to illness at the age of 38. Born on February 3, 1809, in Hamburg, Germany, Mendelssohn was a musical prodigy who made significant contributions to the Romantic era, both as a composer and conductor. This weekend marks the anniversary of his birth, and if he were alive today, Mendelssohn would be celebrating his 215th birthday. His Violin Concerto, premiered in 1845, stands as one of the most important and beloved works in the violin repertoire, admired for its emotional depth and technical brilliance. Mendelssohn's ability to blend classical forms with the expressive power of the Romantic era is exemplified in this concerto, particularly in the seamless flow from the first movement into the second, a departure from traditional concerto form that was innovative at the time. This recording, a testament to Mendelssohn's enduring legacy, is made available through the generosity of the University of Chicago Orchestra and under a Creative Commons license, allowing us to appreciate and share the genius of Mendelssohn's compositions. As we listen to the Allegro from his Violin Concerto, we highlight not only Mendelssohn's contribution to music but also the spirit of innovation and expression that defines the Romantic era. If you're looking for more Mendelssohn, and who among us is not, I highly recommend the performance by Ray Chen, available on YouTube and linked in the shownotes.  Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

Robby Starbuck joins Charlie to talk about why Democrats have consistently outplayed the GOP's national arm, and what needs to change to make the parties equally competitive. Plus, Kash Patel reacts to the Trump indictment, and explains why if Trump wants to be acquitted, it might come down to whether he can move his trial from Manhattan Island to Staten Island.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Major League Baseball player Cory Lidle was killed when he flew his Cirrus SR20 into a building alongside the East River in New York. The accident shows the consequences of failure to do preflight planning and poor aeronautical decision making. Todd Curtis, Greg Feith, and John Goglia discuss the circumstances around the October 11, 2006 crash. The aircraft was on a VFR flight beneath the Class B airspace around Manhattan Island. Lidle and his passenger, who was a certificated instructor pilot, were unable to negotiate a turn over the East River, and were killed after striking a building. They talk about the need for flight planning to deal with the challenging circumstances presented by wind, tall buildings and restricted air space. Calling the conditions challenging but not impossible, they focus on many options to avoid the fatal crash. This NTSB report on this accident is full of detail. Investigators, along with the Flight Safety Detectives, were left puzzled by why the pilot did not take advantage of options available to avoid the crash.

At about 3 o'clock Johnny Modero started down Post Street when he spotted the new auction House. It was small with enough dough changing hands to buy back Manhattan Island. Inside it was packed and a bald headed guy on a wooden stand was selling everything but his suspenders so Modero sat at the back and noticed a girl standing up against the wall. She walked over to Modero and asked him to do her a favor. A black leather suitcase was to be auctioned off that belonged to her and she wanted it back at any price. She offered Modero $50 to bid for her as she didn't want someone there to know she was there. Duration: 28:32 Starring: Jack Webb Broadcast Date: Not known

Len replies to listener emails and talks about the annual Isle of Manhattan Ride.  Tips on riding with your dog, choosing tires, and riding around Manhattan Island on New Years Day for the Isle of Manhattan Ride!

Welcome to October 27, 2022 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate breaking an unlucky streak and a beverage that is best served cold.  It appears that the myth surrounding black cats as bad luck is relatively new. This bad wrap is associated with the Puritanical view of witches and their supernatural pets. Starting in the 12th century, folks believed that a witch could transform into a black cat nine times. This is probably where their reputation for having multiple lives began too. But well before that, the ebony coated feline was a sign of good luck. From Ancient Egypt to Old England, Scotland and Japan, black cats were thought of as a symbol of good fortune. They were even given as a wedding present for hundreds of years. On National Black Cat Day, break with superstition and find yourself some good feline fortune.   America's love affair with beer started even before the United States was a country. In 1612, Dutch traders Adrian Block and Hans Christiansen established a brewery on what would become Manhattan Island. At the time, the area was called New Amsterdam and was a fur trading outpost. The winter that year was especially cold and icy, which made the workers very grumpy. To boost morale amongst their men, Block and his partner started brewing beer, which worked like a charm. While beer is consumed all over the world, here in the States we love it served icy cold. On National American Beer Day celebrate the season of chill by cracking open a cold one.  I'm Anna Devere and I'm Marlo Anderson. Thanks for joining us as we Celebrate Every Day.

Check it out below:   [00:00:00] Kristine Cranley: So I started educating myself on this new asset class that had a 21 million fixed supply. And so during that time I had some severance pay. So I started the company Noah's Bitcoin to educate anyone who had listened to me about what is Bitcoin, why is it an interesting investment. Started giving talks to different people in my area, and along the way, a registered investment advisor firm called me up and said they were one of only five in Texas that offered actual cryptocurrency exposure to their clients and said, Hey, would you like to take your Series 65 and join our team?. [00:00:48] Sam Wilson: Kristine Cranley is an educator who is passionate about the issues involving financial flourishing and sound money. She founded a company called Noah's Bitcoin to educate investors on Bitcoin, and she's also a financial advisor at PM Squared Financial. Kristine, welcome to the show.  [00:01:03] Kristine Cranley: Thank you so much. It's a pleasure to be with you. [00:01:05] Sam Wilson: Pleasure is absolutely mine. Kristine, there are three questions I ask every guest who come to the show: in 90 seconds or less, can you tell me where did you start? Where are you now? And how did you get there?  [00:01:14] Kristine Cranley: Okay, well, So I started in a very odd place or unexpected place to get into the financial industry. And that was when I graduated from university, I went to New York City and I did missionary work, pro-life work, working with women who were pregnant and found themselves in situation where they wanted to give life to their child, but they didn't know how they were going to do it because they didn't have the resources. And so the community that I worked with, connects them with people that could help them. Some of them came and lived at where we were and we just kind of helped them realize what was in their heart. We would ask them if everything was different. What would you choose? And they're like, Well, I want to give life to my child, but I don't know how. And so we would help assist in finding them what they need in that regard. And so it was that time that was really born in me, this passion for financial education and financial stability and flourishing because, in times of inflation that we find ourselves in, it's always the poor that are most hurt because the assets tend to grow typically when money is being printed. But those that are living paycheck to paycheck are those that suffer the most. So that was kind of where was borne that passion in my heart because with these women, it wasn't just, Oh, I want to compete with my neighbor to have the fanciest car. It was a matter of life and death. So I've been on kind of a journey as far as that goes. And so I ended up studying theology for a time after my time in New York, but a dear friend of mine really encouraged me to start temping while I was working because at that time I was kind of taking money from my parents who were very generous and helping me out this poor student, and it was really a life-changing advice that my friend gave me because there's a real healthiness when you're able to strike out there and be paying those bills on your own. So through that, I got into commercial property management in the Washington DC area. But when the pandemic shut us down, I used the opportunity to come back to my home state of Texas. And during that time I had really started researching about sound money and went down, I like to say the bitcoin rabbit hole. So I started educating myself on this new asset class that had a 21 million fixed supply. And so during that time I had some severance pay. So I started the company Noah's Bitcoin to educate anyone who had listened to me about what is Bitcoin, why is it an interesting investment. Started giving talks to different people in my area, and along the way, a registered investment advisor firm called me up and said they were one of only five in Texas that offered actual cryptocurrency exposure to their clients and said, Hey, would you like to take your Series 65 and join our team? And so I did that a year ago and so that's how I ended up where I'm at today as a financial advisor working with PM Squared Financial. And full disclosure, I am currently invested in Bitcoin. Our firm is invested in Bitcoin. So I will tell you all you want to know about that topic today, but nothing that I say is intended as financial advice, but nearly educational purposes only. [00:04:34] Sam Wilson: Awesome. I love it. That's an exciting transition, you know, one to the next. I mean, from an inner-city pro-life advocate helping the poor to now a Bitcoin financial advisor, Bitcoin enthusiast, or Bitcoin advocate, whatever you want to call it. That's a lot of moving parts, but a really cool, a really cool jump there from one to the next. When did you know you were onto something? And if you can explain to me maybe why you think you were onto something once you started investing in, and, you know, diving into the world of Bitcoin.  [00:05:08] Kristine Cranley: Absolutely. So there is a saying amongst the Bitcoin community, come for the gains, stay for the revolution. And so when anyone invests in any asset, they start paying attention to it more. And so at first, I was thinking about the idea of the fixed money supply and investing into something that's really so scarce, there's really only one to 3 million coins available for purchase that most of the owners of it think of it like owning property on Manhattan Island, right? They're never going to sell it. They're going to lock it up forever, bequeath it to their children's, children's children, and then if they need a loan, use it as collateral, but never sell it. So as I started understanding just the macroeconomics of it, I was really impressed 'cause I've always been an advocate of gold, silver, those inflation hedges. But this is something new that's much easier to transfer. It could be transferred peer to peer. So it was mostly the macroeconomics. But then the more that I studied it, the more that I fell in love with it. And so different events, for instance, I don't know if you followed what happened with the Canadian truckers, but they had come out to tell their view on a particular issue and their banks got closed off. And so Bitcoin is something that can be transferred peer to peer, and so it avoids those kind of situations. There's no political entity that can come in and say, I don't like what you think or believe, and so I'm cutting you off from that. So that was a real eye-opener. And then also what happened with El Salvador when the president of El Salvador made Bitcoin legal tender. And I started looking into why that was so interesting. Well, much of El Salvador's GDP comes from remittances, so family members perhaps come here, send money there, but Western Union takes a big chunk of that, and then many of the people in El Salvador are unbanked, so they would have to travel to their nearest bank to pick up that wire and perhaps there's cartels camped out around the bank. And so hopefully make it out alive with whatever was left that Western Union didn't take from that transfer. Whereas when Bitcoin became legal tender, Bitcoin through the Lightning Network can be sent instantly and free to those family members, and then they can use it to buy coffee or groceries or what have you. The more that I went into it, the more I just fell in love with this technology. And even just a story behind it, right? We don't know who created it. And so, I mean, if I created it, I don't think I'd have the humility not to brag about it. And people worry, well, maybe it was some nefarious actor. But the thing about Bitcoin is it's all open source. The whole code is out there. So it's not really the best way. If you're going to take over the world to have something that's totally decentralized, that anybody can mine it, that it can be set peer to peer, that you cannot confiscate it. So, for all those reasons and more, the more that I learned about it, the more I just couldn't stop talking about it. [00:08:21] Sam Wilson: That's really, really interesting. I mean, and we could take this conversation into that world of, okay, the benefits of decentralization, the, you know, 14,000 some odd computers and nodes around the world that it's run off of, and kind of talk about the benefits to that side of it. You know, you don't have to sell me certainly on all of those things. Look, people get to do what people want to do and nobody can tell 'em no. Like, wow, imagine that. What a novel idea. There's not some bureaucrat that can turn off my money just 'cause they don't like me. Yeah, so aside from all of those beneficial, you know, the intangible benefits, what are some of the tangible things, why are people putting their money into this? And maybe even, we can hopefully get into a little bit of Bitcoin mining, but why are people putting, and why are you putting money into this? And then walk me through that just for a moment. And I'm going to use the term investment because I don't, forgive me if I don't see gold and silver as an investment. I see it as a hedge. I own gold and silver. I own lots of gold and silver. But I don't see it as an investment. Is Bitcoin different? I know I've asked like eight different questions here, but maybe you can make sense of my mindless... [00:09:29] Kristine Cranley: No, that's a really good question, and when you articulate it that way, I'm not sure I consider it an investment either. And one of the things that is important to recognize is that Bitcoin is not the same as the other cryptocurrencies. And even the SEC is acknowledging this because they're wanting to say these other cryptocurrencies, they want to define them as securities, which is basically means it's dependent on a team. There's a creator and that creator can make a whole bunch of them for themselves or their buddies, whereas Bitcoin is completely decentralized, and so they're leaning toward labeling it as a commodity. And so in the sense that any kind of commodity, you know, is oil an investment, corn, I also consider it as a hedge because when you do a day's labor, that's a day of your life, right? That you're never going to get back. And so how do you store the value of your day's labor? And so currently we store it in Fiat, is money, right? We call it Fiat because it's from the word, from the Bible, Fiat, Luke's let there be light, right? So we say that this is valuable, the government say that this is value, and let it be like that's how we create the American dollar. And so with Bitcoin, if you're storing your day's labor in value, the hope is that over time, because Bitcoin is a deflationary asset, nobody can come in and say, Okay, there's 21 million. Now we're going to double that and make that value store half the value. That can't be done with Bitcoin. And so we all acknowledge that Bitcoin is very volatile right now. It's still quite young at this point. It's very correlated to the NASDAQ. We saw a little decoupling recently, but at this point it's very correlated, and so the stock market's having a lot of trouble right now, it's very likely that Bitcoin can continue to go down as these asset bubbles break. And so it is not a good place to store value if you want to pull it out next month and pay your rent with it, or if you want to day trade it. It is very difficult the time, the tops, and the bottoms. But if you are thinking long term for three year, five year down the road, and you recognize that this is an asset, that we've already mined 21 million, 77% haven't moved in this whole bear market. It is an extremely scarce asset. There's 46 million millionaires in the world. 21 million Bitcoin will ever be mined. A lot of 'em have already been lost because people lost their passwords and there's no central authority to call up and say, Help me out. And so, you know, there's not enough for every millionaire in the world to have half a coin, and so a lot of people look to Bitcoin with the hope, obviously, there's no guarantees in life. I'm not promising that it will go up forever, but the idea is, well, we see a lot of money printing here with the dollar, and with Bitcoin that can't be done. And so I'm going to put the value of my day's labor, some of that into Bitcoin in the hopes that it continues to grow as adoption grows. [00:13:03] Sam Wilson: And that's a great point. How that fits into someone's portfolio, I'm sure is up to that unique individual 'cause everybody has their own, you know, unique set of goals. I mean, it's one of the things that, when onboarding an investor with us, it's like, what are your goals? Like, what type of investor are you? You looking for cash flow? Are you looking for equity growth? What is your long-term, you know, hopes by investing in for us that's in real estate? But I think the same question would probably have to be asked for you of a Bitcoin investor. What do you hope? And I am a Bitcoin investor. I invest in Bitcoin mining, so I'm right there with you. I understand what it is you're telling me. But maybe just for our listeners who haven't invested in Bitcoin, and we're seeing this a lot, it's funny, even through the real estate networks, we're certainly seeing, you know, bitcoin mining coming more mainstream. So tell us about the difference between investing in Bitcoin and then investing in Bitcoin mining.  [00:13:56] Kristine Cranley: Absolutely. It's good to understand the difference because a lot of it depends on where you are in the market, and the question you always have to ask yourself is where am I going to get the better return on investment? Should I just buy the asset, Bitcoin itself, lock it up for several years, and let it grow? Or is it helpful to invest in the infrastructure itself. And one of the most important ways of answering that question is where are we in the market cycle? Because when Bitcoin is running up, you have a whole lot of people, It's like a new gold rush, and they want in on those profits and they have this idea that they're going to make it rich by being able to mine it. But then what happens is when the market goes down and stays low as it has been recently, whatever cost you're getting your power for is really going to make and break you, in addition to as a Bitcoin mining company, in addition to how leveraged are you. And so all else being equal, those with the lowest cost of power win. Now, in addition to that, the equipment, when there's a gold rush, everybody's purchasing equipment for a very high price. And then what happens is when the cost of power goes up and the price of Bitcoin stays down, and maybe you're highly leveraged, and so you're paying a bunch of debt service, well, what ends up happening is those minors that are investing at a higher cost, get wiped out of the market because it starts to become more expensive to keep those machines on, than you are able to pay your bills or the cost of Bitcoin. Now, the interesting thing about the system is it adjusts the difficulty because the Bitcoin system makes it so that it's mining a new block, adding a new block to the blockchain, which is how new Bitcoin are created with every new block, once every 10 minutes. And so if a whole bunch of minors go offline because they can no longer afford, well one, they're going to be selling their computers at a super sale, and then the system's going to adjust. So suddenly it becomes easier to mine Bitcoin and you're more profitable. So when you're in conditions where you're able to get your machines at a very low price, and you're able to get your power at a very low price, then you are going to be mining Bitcoin at well below the market value. So we invest in a company, we searched for a very long time. We looked through probably a hundred different mining projects until we found this one company that invests in stranded natural gas, and with stranded natural gas, there's no pipeline built out there for those oil fields has fell to because natural gas is a waste product from mining, from grilling oil. And so these fields have nowhere to sell it unless the bitcoin miners come to them and set up shop on their land. And otherwise, they'd be flaring it or venting it. And that's not so great for the environment. And there's more and more restrictions on that. So the Bitcoin mining companies end up doing them a favor because maybe they're paying 'em a little bit for the natural gas, but they're also mitigating the methane, and so it helps with that. So in those instances, our company decided we're getting Bitcoin 'cause we're getting natural gas at a dollar MCF, right, and it's currently six, seven, goes up and down. But so we're able to create the Bitcoin for about $4,000, $5,000 a coin. So if you're planning on investing in the infrastructure and you're going to be able to mine that coin at an operating cost, you know, of $4,000, $5,000, and that investment's going to go on through the life of that equipment, well, it doesn't matter if Bitcoin crashes to $10,000, you're still profitable. And then when it goes up to whatever, you're still making it at quite the spread. So not always the best conditions if you've got a high cost of power or a high cost of equipment or a team that doesn't know what they're doing, or they're highly leveraged, but when the conditions are right, you can get Bitcoin at a lot cheaper. [00:18:24] Sam Wilson: Yeah, and I'm certain that we've seen some of that here recently as the price of Bitcoin has gone from the 60-some-odd thousand, and that's kind of the whole, the idea of fools rush in, right, in that it ties into the real estate cycles as well, where it's like, okay, we're starting to see things come on sale where you have over-leverage, you have, you know, financing decisions that were made when times were great and now the fault lines are being exposed as the price of those assets come down and they go, oh, shoot, we can't service our debt or whatever it is. Same great idea. And I guess maybe if you can just reemphasize, 'cause one of my questions was how do you not get wiped out? How do you not end up being one of the fools that rushed in with the companies? Like, what are some things we should be looking at from a high level before putting money into a mining fund?  [00:19:12] Kristine Cranley: Absolutely. So first of all, what is the cost of power? So if you were to plug an ASIC miner into the wall right now, you'd be paying 12 cents a kilowatt hour working cents. The most profitable miners, the publicly traded companies, they're getting about four and a half cents a kilowatt hour. You're not profitable these days if you're not close to five. Just with the market the way it is, when Bitcoin codes up, that will change. Our company, we're at 2.20 cents a kilowatt hour, so even half the most profitable. So that's the first thing to look at is the cost for kilowatt hour. You're also going to want to look at the company itself. Are they over-leveraged? Find out what costs they got their machines at, look at the things like the carry they may be taking, and so just because a company may be mining it at a great price, you're also going to want to know how much are they taking out of it. So it's just every good investor will look at that. You know, a carry is typical for the people putting together the deal, but you just want to know all that going into it. Yeah, it's good to know the team, especially for them to have experience because, again, I just, kind of need to go back to the ones that we invest in as a comparison, but they have been mining Bitcoin for the last three or four years. So they're able, for our investors, to articulate all the costs because they know them, and, you know, even the little costs. Bitcoin miners usually enter into a pool, and so what they do is they contribute the power they're bringing to the network, the hashing power, and then whenever anyone in that pool mines a Bitcoin, everybody is distributed their pro rata share given the hash power that they contribute. And so that costs some money. And so being aware of what the costs are and factoring those in. And then one of the things that a lot of new Bitcoin mining companies never taking into consideration is more and more people over time are going to be mining. And so as more people mine, the profitability is going to go down because you're competing with more people. So traditionally it's gone down about 3% a year because the hash rate has gone up. There's more people competing to win that Bitcoin, and you have to factor that in. So even though you may believe that Bitcoin is going to go up quite a bit, You still have to factor in that you're going to be competing with more and more people, and so you need to make sure that the company is aware of that and factoring that in when they're projecting profitability. [00:22:05] Sam Wilson: I love it. Kristine, thank you for coming on the show today and breaking down for us why you find opportunity in Bitcoin, Bitcoin mining. It has been a great episode.

The first clue was given to Ben's great-great-great-great grandfather Thomas Gates (Jason Earles) by Charles Carroll, the last living signer of the Declaration of Independence, saying simply, "The secret lies with Charlotte." Using sophisticated computer arctic weather models, Ben, with his friend Riley Poole (Bartha) and financier Ian Howe (Bean), finds the wreckage of a Colonial ship, the Charlotte, containing a meerschaum pipe engraved with a riddle. After examining the riddle, Ben deduces that the next clue is on the back of the Declaration of Independence. While Ben sees gaining access to such a highly guarded artifact as an obstacle, Ian finds no problem in stealing it. In the standoff, Ian escapes and the Charlotte explodes with Ben and Riley inside, nearly killing them. They attempt to warn the Department of Homeland Security, the FBI, and Dr. Abigail Chase (Kruger) at the National Archives, but no one takes them seriously, believing it to be too heavily guarded to be under any threat. Ben thinks otherwise, however, and decides to steal it to keep it from Ian. Ben and Riley manage to steal the Declaration during a 70th anniversary-gala, just before Ian arrives. Dr. Chase, who is holding a replica, is kidnapped by Ian who thinks she has the real one, and Ben has to engage in a car chase to rescue her. As she will not leave without the Declaration, and Ben will not let her leave with it, she is forced to go along with them. Ben and Riley agree that the only place to hide from the police would be Ben's father's (Voight) house. Despite his father's disbelief in the treasure, Ben manages to reveal an Ottendorf cipher on the back of the Declaration, referring to characters in the Silence Dogood letters. The coded message in the letters leads them to Independence Hall in Philadelphia, where they find special bifocals invented by Benjamin Franklin Gates inside of a brick from the building. Ben examines the back of the Declaration with the glasses, to find another clue. After a short chase, Ian gets the Declaration from Riley and Abigail, and the FBI arrests Ben, who has the glasses.When the FBI attempts to use Ben as bait to get the Declaration back, Ian arranges to have him escape by jumping from the deck of the USS Intrepid, into the Hudson River, a feat not too difficult for Ben as a graduate of the Navy Diving and Salvage Training Center. Using Ben's father, Riley, and Abigail as leverage, Ian forces Ben to interpret the clue on the back of the declaration, a reference to a secret chamber under the Trinity Church in New York City. When they arrive at a seemingly dead end, Ben's father makes up another clue to keep Ian going, telling him a lantern is the clue to the Old North Church in Boston, referencing Paul Revere's ride. Ian goes to Boston with his men, leaving everyone else to die in the caverns. After Ian leaves, Ben reveals there is another exit that must be through the treasure room. They find a secret passage into another chamber. To their disappointment, they find it empty, and assume that the treasure was already moved. However, they realize a secondary exit must have been created in case of cave-ins. Ben examines the walls of the room, to find a hole the shape of the pipe from the Charlotte. This lock opens a door into the true treasure room, containing artifacts from all periods of history. When they leave through the second exit and the FBI arrives, Ben discovers that the chief investigator, Special agent Peter Sadusky (Keitel), is a Freemason. Ben proposes to give the treasure to various museums around the world, with credit being given to the entire Gates family and Riley, with Dr. Chase not being penalized for the theft of the Declaration. However, Sadusky says that someone has to go to prison for the theft of the Declaration, so they fly to Boston, where Ian and his men are breaking the lock to gain entry to the Old North Church. FBI agents emerge from hiding and arrest them under charges of "kidnapping, attempted murder, and trespassing on government property." The U.S. government offers Ben and his friends ten percent of the treasure, but Ben only takes one percent and splits it with Riley. With his share, Ben and Abigail buy a mansion once owned by a man who knew Charles Carroll, and Riley buys a red Ferrari 360 Spider. The film ends with Abigail giving Ben a map and when he curiously asks what it leads to she just smiles a suggestive grin.  -Nicholas Cage figuring out the "riddle" on the boat with no context clues or anything was crazy.-Ian turns on Ben very quickly when it went from study the declaration of independance to steal it, and Ben wasn't game.-I always hate this, when Ian shoots the guard with the tazer, he passes out... not what happens with a tazer.-Who knows this much about cyphers?-Good chace, but would've brought more attention.-Why would Ian want to meet in NYC when they were already in Philly?-How would a 200 year old torch hold a flame like that?    Top Five Trivia of the movie: TOP 5On the back of the $100 bill, there is an etching of Independence Hall, and the time on the clock tower reads 2:22.The clock on the back of the early-2000s $100 bill (below) was officially documented as reading 4:10, though it does look more like the hour hand is pointing to the two, suggesting a time of 2:22. When the $100 bill was redesigned in 2009, the time was changed to 10:30; this new bill entered circulation in 2013. There is no evidence that either of these times were chosen for a specific reason.Independence Hall was not harmed in the making of this movie.Many of the scenes set in Philadelphia were shot on location, in such landmarks as Reading Terminal Market and the Franklin Institute. But one notable exception is Independence Hall. Rather than filming in the real building, a National Historical Park, the filmmakers substituted the brick-for-brick replica of Independence Hall at Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park, California. Walter Knott had a love for American history, and his replica which was constructed between 1964-1966 was based on historical records, photographs, blueprints, and exact measurements. So, there was no need for Nicolas Cage to run around a real "national treasure" when a truly exact replica existed.The house of Pass and StowThe bell now known as the Liberty Bell was commissioned from the London firm of Lester and Pack. It arrived in Philadelphia in 1752, but when the bell was struck to test the sound, its rim cracked. Authorities tried in vain to return the bell, so local founders John Pass and John Stow offered to recast it. Their first attempt didn't break when struck, but the sound was disappointing. So, Pass and Stow recast the bell again, and it was finally installed in the bell tower of the Pennsylvania State House (Independence Hall) in June 1753.As Ian discovers, the Liberty Bell no longer hangs in Independence Hall. It has its own pavillion across the street, the Liberty Bell Center, which opened to the public in October 2003.The final expansion of the crack in the Liberty Bell occurred on George Washington's birthday in 1846, and the Centennial Bell replaced the Liberty Bell in 1876.According to the National Park Service, the final expansion of the crack did occur in 1846, and the widening was actually an attempt to prevent futher cracking and restore the bell's tone. By order of the mayor, the bell rang in honor of Washington's birthday and cracked beyond repair.In anticipation of the centennial in 1876, a different bell was produced from four melted-down Revolutionary and Civil War cannons. The Centennial Bell was part of the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia, later recast to improve the tone, and hung in the bell tower ofIndependence Hall, where it remains today. This engraving from The Illustrated London News, 1876, shows the Centennial Bell "In the Belfry, Independence Hall.      5.  Broadway was called de Heere Street by the Dutch.           Originally the Wickquasgeck Trail, Dutch settlers renamed the route traversing Manhattan Island from south to north de Heere Straat, which means the Gentlemen's Street. Much of modern day Broadway follows these original roads. **TRIPLE LINDY AWARD** **REVIEW AND RATING** TOP 5Stephen:1 Breakfast club2 T23 Sandlot4 Back to the Future5 Mail order brides Chris:1. sandlots2.

In 1609 a free man of African and European ancestry, Juan Rodriguez, left the Dutch ship Jonge Tobias anchored off Manhattan Island with “eighty hatchets and some knives” to set himself up in trading with the local Indians. Ashore in coming years he fought off Dutch rivals, married an Indian woman, and started a family, all the while prospering by trading in bear and beaver pelts. His is one of the many stories presented by David Hackett Fischer in his new book African Founders: How Enslaved People Expanded American Ideals, which examines nine Afro-European regional cultures in North America. Following in the footsteps of his previous books Albion's Seed, Liberty and Freedom, and Champlain's Dream, in African Founders, Fischer seeks to determine in this case how individuals both free and enslaved within these cultures “acted with purpose and resolve to change the ways that free and open systems worked in what is now the United States.” David Hackett Fischer is University Professor and Warren Professor of History Emeritus at Brandeis University. Author of numerous books in addition to those already mentioned, his Washington's Crossing won the 2005 Pulitzer Prize in History.

The history of Manhattan Island in New York is both intriguing and revealing. Before emerging as one of the world's urban economic engines, it was a swampy island principally populated by beavers. Sold to the Dutch for a pittance in 1626, and then exchanged with the British for a spice island in 1667, it seemed destined for continued oblivion. Rabbi Dunner considers how New York would react if the original owners would demand it back, and how this question relates to the Jewish claim to Israel, based on an obscure verse in Bechuukotai.
