On a sunny fall day in 1841, New York City officials boarded a ship in search of a crate. Crew members found it buried deep in the cargo hold. The odor coming from within it was unbearable.Inside, they discovered the decomposing body of half-naked man, covered in salt. Authorities identified the body as Samuel Adams (No, not that Samuel Adams.) Who could have done such a thing? There was no need to ponder that question. Authorities had already arrested their prime suspect, John Caldwell Colt. John was an author and expert on bookkeeping. He was also the older brother of Samuel Colt, the inventor of the Colt Revolver. In this episode, Normie C hits us with all the context we'll need to understand this gruesome murder and the bizarre trial that followed. Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources! For this episode, Norm pulled from: Dunphy, Thomas. Remarkable Trials of All Countries. Diossy & Company, 1870.Edwards, William. The Story of Colt's Revolver. Stackpole Co, 1953.Phelps, M.

Episode 73 kicks off our first show of 2026—and it starts where it all began. Josh and Darius reflect on nearly 22 years of friendship, going all the way back to being initiated together in TKE in 2004, and how that brotherhood still shapes who they are today. Darius shares a fun historical nugget about Samuel Colt before diving into a big personal milestone: starting the year with his first USPSA competition and how competition shooting fits into his goals for 2026. He also breaks down his competition mindset, his rig setup, and what's helped him get fast and efficient out of the holster. Josh talks gear—covering Gideon Optics on his new DERYA TM22 and his BRN-180, plus what's coming next with upcoming build series. The guys also tease a budget 2011 build planned for later this year, sharing early ideas and what they want to prove with it. As always, the conversation is filled with laughs, real talk, and ideas about improving—not just as shooters, but as friends, husbands, fathers, and men heading into a new year focused on growth and consistency.

À première vue, ils se ressemblent. Pourtant, leur fonctionnement et leur conception diffèrent profondément. Comprendre cette différence, c'est plonger dans l'histoire de l'évolution des armes à feu.Le revolver apparaît au XIXe siècle. Son nom vient du mot anglais to revolve, “tourner”, car son principe repose sur un barillet rotatif. Ce barillet contient plusieurs chambres, chacune accueillant une cartouche. À chaque pression sur la détente, le barillet tourne pour aligner une nouvelle cartouche avec le canon, prête à être tirée.Ce mécanisme ingénieux, popularisé par Samuel Colt dès les années 1830, a fait du revolver une arme fiable, simple et robuste. Son principal avantage : il peut rester chargé longtemps sans risque d'enrayement, ce qui le rend très apprécié pour sa fiabilité. En revanche, sa capacité est limitée, souvent à six coups, et le rechargement est lent, car il faut insérer chaque cartouche une à une.Le pistolet, lui, fonctionne différemment. Il ne possède pas de barillet, mais un chargeur — un boîtier inséré dans la crosse — contenant plusieurs munitions. Lorsqu'un tir est effectué, une partie de l'énergie du coup sert à éjecter la douille vide et à introduire automatiquement la cartouche suivante dans la chambre. Ce système semi-automatique, perfectionné au XXe siècle, permet de tirer plus rapidement et de recharger plus vite. C'est pour cela que les pistolets modernes sont aujourd'hui préférés par les forces de l'ordre et les armées.... Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.
Fredrik talks to Taylor Troesh about packaging things, generating code, and database evolution. Why is it so hard to package and build things? Is it a failure of ergonomics? Is there hope for a change? We also discuss generating code using LLMs, and Taylor presents the workflow of using them to generate projects from scratch, starting over if more fundamental changes are needed. After that, we dig into databases and SQL, and Taylor has many thoughts and opinions about how they can be used and might evolve. Finally, we discuss other interesting projects, keeping track of ideas, what the OPTC is, and why should you cut down a palm tree? Recorded during Øredev 2024.

Samuel Colt's name is forever linked to the company he founded and the revolver he called the “Peacemaker.” Born in Connecticut in 1814, he was steeped in America's gun culture from an early age. His grandfather had served in George Washington's army, and Samuel inherited an old flintlock pistol from the family hero when he was only six. At the age of fifteen, while working in his father's textile plant, he built a galvanic cell (basically an early battery) and used it to set off explosives beneath the surface of a nearby pond during the Fourth of July. He continued to experiment with chemicals and combustion—as many young men do—and became fascinated by inventors' work to create a firearm that could shoot more than bullets before needing to reload.Join us as we teach you about Samuel Colt, Richard Gatling, and John Browning. In this episode, you'll learn about their work, their impact on history, and how their names are culturally relevant - beyond the brand - in our world today.

1851 it is, and the Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations, also known as the Great Exhibition or the Crystal Palace Exhibition took place in Hyde Park, London, from 1 May to 15 October 1851. It was the first in a series of World's Fairs, exhibitions of culture and industry that became popular in the 19th century. Famous people of the time attended the Great Exhibition, including Charles Darwin, Karl Marx, Michael Faraday, Samuel Colt, writers like Charlotte Brontë, Charles Dickens, Lewis Carroll, George Eliot, Alfred Tennyson, and William Makepeace Thackeray. Schweppes was the official sponsor. The Great Exhibition was a celebration of modern industrial technology and design - mainly for the British who were trying to show how through tech, the world would be a better place - leading the nations in innovations so to speak. Six million people, equivalent to a third of the entire population of Britain at the time, visited the Great Exhibition, averaging over 42 000 visitors a day, sometimes topping 100 000. Thomas Cook managed the travel arrangements for the Exhibition, and made the equivalent of 33.2 million pounds in today's cash - or 186 000 pounds back in 1851, and promptly used the money to found the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Science Museum, as well as the Natural History Museum. Inventor Frederick Bakewell demonstrated a precurser to something that we know as a Fax Machine. The New Zealand exhibit was well liked, featuring Maori crafts such as flax baskets, carved wooden objects, eel traps, mats, fish hooks and the scourge of the British army in Kiwiland, their hand clubs. A couple of conservative politicians let it be known they were not happy about the Exhibition, saying visitors would turn into a revolutionary mob. Considering that Karl Marx was part of the visitors - perhaps not unsurprisingly. But did Karl Marx use the services of Thomas Cook? Not exactly a question destined for a dissertation. This Exhibition went on to become a symbol of the Victorian Era. Meanwhile … a serious War in one of its colonies, the Cape was more than disquietening - it appeared this war was more a Victorian error. AS in mistake. amaNgqika chief Maqoma was causing Harry Smith sleepness nights, and Colonel Fordyce and his colleagues were fighting for their lives along the Amathola mountains. The Waterkloof ridges — in a place to the west of Fort Beaufort — was where the Khoekhoe and coloured marksmen made their greatest impact. The ex-Cape Mounted Rifles members amongst the rebels had other uses. They understood the British bugle calls, having been trained by the British, further exasperating men like Henry Somerset and Colonel Fordyce. The amaXhosa and Khoekhoe rebels were also much more organised than in previous wars against the invaders. They targeted the Messengers reading updates from British commanders intended for Grahamstown and been reading the reports, and some of the rebels were actually being supplied directly from Grahamstown itself. Then Henry seemed to receive an injection of spine - of determination. On November 6th 1851 he massed two large columns, one under Colonel Fordyce, and the other led by Colonel Michel. Unbeknownest to him, this was to be Fordyce's last mission. Michel's column had to advance up the Waterkloof aka Mount Misery, while Fordyce's column would wait above, on the summit. Michel would drive the rebels up the mountain, Fordyce would trap them and voila! Victory. It didn't quite work that way.

In fast jedem Western-Film sind sie zu sehen: Die Revolver der Marke "Colt". Die Handfeuerwaffe mit der rotierenden Trommel wurde zum Kult-Objekt. Das hat viel mit dem US-Unternehmer Samuel Colt zu tun, der seine Waffe geschickt vermarktete. Am 19. Juli 1814 kam er auf die Welt.
Un amigo me dijo un día: “Me gusta sentir que mi coche me necesita”. Una bonita forma de decir que su coche daba problemas. Era dueño de uno de esos Alfasud que iban de maravilla… cuando iban. Porque daban problemas de todo tipo. Todos lo hemos oído o incluso lo hemos dicho: “Los coches italianos son muy malos”. Pero, ¿Qué hay de verdad en eso? Vamos a verlo. ¿Crees que el teléfono lo inventó Graham Bell? Pues no, lo inventó el italiano Antonio Meuci, como reconoció el Congreso Norteamericano en 2001. ¿Crees que el revolver lo inventó Samuel Colt? Pues no, lo inventó en 1833 Francesco Antonio Brocu, en Gadoni, Cerdeña. ¿Crees que las dinamos de las bicis, esas que tomaban energía de la rueda para dar luz, es un inventó francés como figura en la patente de 1869? Pues no, porque antes Antonio Pacinotti había utilizado y vendido esas dinamos que Zenobre-Théophile Gramme copio y patentó después. Este país sufrió un cierto parón entre las dos guerras mundiales, en las que Italia por pura necesidad y mala gestión, se volvió un país agrícola y ganadero… Se habla mucho del “milagro alemán”, e injustamente nos olvidamos de Italia. Al finalizar la Segunda Guerra Mundial, Italia había perdido la guerra. Pero no todo es perfecto y ese milagro italiano no fue igual en el norte que en el sur. Uno de los problemas más acuciantes de Italia es la diferencia entre la parte rica del norte y la pobre del sur. Hablar de coches italianos es hablar, entre otros, de Alfa Romeo. La historia que os cuento la contamos en un vídeo titulado “Historia de Alfa Romeo” y es relevante para este tema. El gobierno italiano quería relanzar la economía del sur de Italia y forzó para que Alfa Romeo diese más protagonismo a su fábrica de Pomigliano d'Arco, al lado de Nápoles. Y nació Alfa Sud y el Alfasud. Nació la fábrica Alfa Sud, literalmente Alfa del Sur y nació el modelo Alfasud (1972), que para su desgracia se fabricó allí. Y eso que el diseño de este coche, que se adelantó a su tiempo y al propio Golf… Desde que nacieron los coches italianos siempre han destacado por su tecnología. Alfa dominó la competición y lucho y ganó de tú a tú con Audi y Mercedes en los monoplazas y luego con BMW en los turismos. Ferrari, Fiat, Lancia, Maserati entre otras son marcas con un pasado glorioso y que luego han pasado momentos difíciles. Pero no hay que olvidar que son marcas que han dominado la competición, no podemos olvidarnos por ejemplo de los Lancia Stratos y Delta en Rallyes el Alfa 155 en el DTM, donde ganó “a domicilio” a las marcas alemanas. O que han sido pioneras en coches de calle, como los fue Fiat con su Croma TD iD de inyección directa de 1986, o como lo fue Alfa al lanzar en 1997 el Alfa 156 JTD primer coche de calle con el sistema de alimentación “common rail” o “rail común” … ambos sistemas los utilizan todos los coches, incluidos alemanes y japoneses. Pero volvamos al presente y a la pregunta: ¿Son malos los coches italianos? Cuando se habla de si un coche es bueno o malo, parece que se hablar de fiabilidad. Siempre digo que hay coches que enamoran y hay coches que convencen… pero hay coches que consiguen ambas cosas. Si vemos las listas de coches más fiables, no hay duda, dominan los japoneses, eso es cierto y no parece fácil que cambie a corto plazo. En los estudios que hace Consumer Report te encuentras cosas curiosas: Entre las 10 mejores hay 6 japonesas y una coreana. Hay tres alemanas: BMW, Mini y Porsche. Mercedes es a segunda… por la cola. ¿Lo esperabas? Los coches italianos no destacan, pero están más o menos en la mitad de la tabla dependiendo del estudio de fiabilidad. Pero si hablamos de coches buenos y malos, habría que preguntar que es ser malo, pues como digo siempre se habla de fiabilidad, pero un coche puede ser muy fiable pero aburrido como una piedra… Marcas como Mercedes o, como no podía ser de otra forma, Porsche, suben a los primeros puestos. Pero es que Alfa Romeo, en la mitad de la tabla por fiabilidad, se pone en los primeros puestos por satisfacción. Un caso curioso es el de Tesla, que por fiabilidad suele estar al final y por satisfacción por delante. Y otro caso a seguir, como Jaguar y sobre todo Land Rover se hunden en ambos criterios… y es que cuando un coche de muchos problemas, por muy seductor que sea, te acabas cansando de él. Coche del día. Voy a elegir al Alfa 156, para mí un punto de inflexión en la marca. Negar que la industria italiana del automóvil y el grupo Fiat en concreto, tuvo un “bache” de calidad es sería absurdo. Como decir que aún no han salido de él. Pero el 156 supuso el renacer de la marca porque era un coche bonito, fiable y delicioso de conducir… a pesar de ser tracción delantera. Para mí el mejor diseño de Walter de'Silva.

Staffel 6, Folge 18 - Liebe Gemeinde, wir haben uns heute hier versammelt, um Supernatural zu besprechen. Dafür reisen wir in die Vergangenheit, genauer gesagt in den Wilden Westen. Eventuell hat auch irgendjemand einen Cowboy Fetisch und freut sich ein bisschen zu sehr darüber (aber wir sagen nicht wer). Es geht um Root Beer, Joaquin Phoenix und einen Orang Utan namens Clyde. Castiel hat ein Vorzimmer, Töff würde ein großer Hut stehen und Samuel Colt taucht auch mal wieder auf. Außerdem gibt es wilde Schießereien, wilde Bibelgeschichten und wilden Spekulatius von Thomas.

How do you convince a bunch of civilians that they need to keep buying new guns? In Episode 3 of "The Gun Machine," host Alain Stephens talks about the man who wrote that playbook: Samuel Colt. He also helped seed the fantastical version of the American West that is often misremembered as fact today. Find new episodes every Saturday on Here & Now Anytime.

We get yet another peek at the undercurrent of season 6, the bigger picture of what's really going on with Cas. And again, it's one of those things you can't notice until you know the full trick of the season. But on rewatch, it's so much more heartbreaking when you know what's coming. I also really do think this is where Dean's fascination with cowboys and the wild west moves from loving movies about it to actually taking an interest in the real history of it all. Kinda hard not to when you're immersed in all that authenticity! Plus I really love his coat. We also get a little more of the backstory of the Colt. I honestly wish I could watch the conversation between Samuel Colt and Elkins, considering 140-odd years later we find the gun in possession of a guy named Daniel Elkins, a renowned vampire hunter. I... would honestly love to hear the story of the Colt and the Elkins family, and how they became the guardians of this weapon that was so entirely foundational to the entire narrative. Alas, that's left to our collective imagination... What I do have, is: LINKS!

Samuel Colt certainly benefitted from the association of his revolving pistol with the state that most found widespread application for it use. And Texans, by and large, returned the love, coming to believe that "God made man, but Samuel Colt made them equal." Did the Colt Revolver blaze the trail for Anglo immigration into the Western half of the state? Or did the power imbalance it created violently accelerate a demographic inevitability?Cover art is available in the Public Domain and online.www.BrandonSeale.com

He didn't assume anything about how to design a handgun because he's never designed one before. Consequently he designed the best one ever. He didn't know what was out of bounds.(8:20) Gaston Glock himself put it in an interview: "That I knew nothing was my advantage.”(8:55) He began disassembling the guns, putting them back together, and noted the contrasting methods used to make them.(9:00) More on Glock's initial research process: I started intensive studies in such a manner that I visited the Austrian patent offices for weeks examining generations of handgun in innovation.(9:10) Learning from history of a form of leverage.(10:25) Crucially, the gun should have no more than 40 parts. This is one of the most important ideas in the book. He designed a product —and a company— based on limiting the amount of moving parts.(12:00) My intention was to learn as much as possible as fast as possible.(12:30) Move fast: I worked for two years, day and night, to bring the sample to the Army on time.(12:45) Difference for the sake of it and retention of total control. — Against the Odds: An Autobiography by James Dyson (Founders #300)(15:00) The important thing that gave him his big price advantage was that he designed the pistol for complete production on computer controlled tools.(15:20) The book is all simplicity, focus, and differentiation.(15:30) Clock produced the simplest handgun with only 34 components.(18:30) He's got all these very unique and unusual forms of distribution.(18:35) How did a pistol produced by an obscure engineer in Vienna, a man who barely spoke English and had no familiarity with America, become in the space of a few years, an American icon?The answer to that question is distribution.(20:20) There's a lot of money to be made if we could convert U.S police departments from revolvers to pistols.(22:50) The only conventional thing about the Glock was the method of operation he adopted for his handgun. Glock borrowed his basic mechanics from John Moses Browning, the greatest gun designer of the late 19th century.(24:08) He objected to the Pentagon's insistence that the rights to manufacture the winning gun design would be open to competitive bidding. Glock intended to collect all profit from the production of his gun himself.(24:35) Quality will always bring you more money.(25:50) Glock's gross margins exceeded 65%. The Glock's simpler design and the computerized manufacturing methods allowed for larger profits.(27:45) Working by Robert Caro. (Founders #305)(30:40) David Ogilvy said the word FREE is magical to customers.(31:00) Glock began putting some of the country's most admired shooting instructors on contract to spread the word about the Austrian pistol.(32:00) Cut the prices, scoop the market, watch the costs, and the profits will take care of themselves. + The deals worked financially because of the company's startingly low manufacturing costs.(32:30) Glock is just running Sam Colt's playbook — just doing it 140 years later. — Revolver: Sam Colt and the Six-Shooter That Changed America by Jim Rasenberger. (Founders #147)(33:00) Sam Colt relentlessly pursued public contracts, regardless of the profit margin. “Government patronage, Sam Colt once said, is an advertisement, if nothing else.” Gaston Glock became the Sam Colt of the 20th century.(34:30) Glock was able to focus. They put all of their effort and resources behind a single product: American handgun makers offered many diverse models in the fashion of the Detroit car companies. Glock saw that as competing with himself and resisted the temptation.(36:20) He evolved from a provincial manager of a radiator factory to a world traveling industrialist.(41:45) That was Glock's theme.

When I conduct a basic rifle class or lesson, I will get questions regarding trapdoor, rolling block, and falling block rifles. The questions will not be centered on the types or the operation of these rifles. Rather, the questions will be much more basic. Most of my students will have a puzzled look on their faces and ask, “What are these?” If a student likes old guns and history, he or she knows what I am talking about when I mention trapdoor rifles, rolling block rifles, or falling block rifles. Unfortunately, most new gun owners are more interested in the latest and greatest innovations in firearms, not the classic guns that paved the way. Knowing and understanding these “primitive” firearms leads to the admiration of the soldiers who had to use them. Single-action revolvers have a storied past that many young shooters are unaware of. Samuel Colt patented the first functional revolver in 1836. That is the year Texas won its independence from Mexico. Single-action revolvers are still in use today and are still very popular with gun enthusiasts. Colt, Ruger, and many other gun manufacturers still produce and offer new models of these “Old West” firearms. There are also Cowboy Action Competitions, where competitors use the classic single-action design in their events. Many firearms trainers are starting to use single-action revolvers in their training. These firearms are proving to be invaluable in teaching new and old shooters alike, the proper knowledge, skills, and attitudes in properly and safely using a handgun. Shooting a single-action revolver takes considerably more muscle memory than modern striker fire semi-automatic pistol. There are many more steps to follow from the time you load one to the time you fire it. These firearms have a very interesting history. Trapdoor rifles, rolling block rifles, and falling block rifles as well as single-action revolvers should be on every gun enthusiast's shooting wish list! Learn more about your ad choices.

Many countries are home to iconic and world-renowned firearms manufacturers. Inventors and engineers like Bartolomeo Beretta of Italy, Samuel Colt of the US, and William Anson and John Deeley of Great Britain are just a few examples. These are names that are synonymous with innovation, craftsmanship, and quality. Despite Canada's notoriety as a country with restrictive firearm laws, Canada is not without its own iconic firearm manufacturer. H.W. Cooey Machine & Arms was founded in 1903 as Cooey Machine & Gear by inventor Hebert William Cooey. Cooey Firearms may not be known for high-quality finishings, elaborate engravings, or prestige like Purdy, Holland & Holland, or Beretta, but they are simple, reliable, and affordable. This reputation made them a household name in Canada. Cooey produced over 12,000,000 firearms during the 20th century. An advertisement for the Cooey Canuck, which appeared in an early edition of Rod & Gun Canada, perhaps best described a Cooey rifle as “The ideal Christmas present for the red-blooded boy, whether he lives in the city, the town or the country.” If you were a kid growing up in Canada between the 1930s and 1980s, chances are you grew up shooting a Cooey rifle.

Hello everyone,A few months ago, I had the pleasure of interviewing David Senra, host of the Founders podcast. David is incredibly high energy and authentic about what he does. You think Mohnish Pabrai takes the idea of cloning seriously? Here's David:I can live the rest of my entire life never having one original idea. As long as I've mastered the handful of ideas that I see as recurring themes in the history of entrepreneurship, I will live a fantastic life. Because it's not only knowing this stuff, but also actually applying them.To paraphrase Bruce Lee, fear not the man who has read 10,000 books once but rather the man who has re-read the best ones over and over. Or, in David's case, the man who does both.David sticks to Munger's maxim of taking a simple idea and taking it seriously:The greatest entrepreneurs had one idea. They built everything around that one idea. There might be things that spawn off of that idea later on. There are other businesses that can grow out of that, other business lines, other products. But fundamentally, they start with an idea.In David's case it's podcasting and a vein of high quality information that he mines and converts into an attractive product. Actually, it's a combination of two big ideas: a big wave to surf (podcasting) and a big insight about David himself (love of reading and learning, ability to go deep in one area without burning out).I hope you enjoy the conversation and pick up some valuable ideas from his entrepreneurial heroes (and villains…).Reading a book is a movie for the mind. It's impossible to read a life story of an interesting person and not be involved emotionally. You're with them in their ups and downs. It's a predictable human reaction that you put yourself in their shoes.You can listen to this conversation on Spotify, Apple, anchor (and via RSS) or find a full transcript at Compound.If you're looking for an all-in-one solution to manage your personal finances, Compound can help (disclosures).A few things I learned from David:Building a company can require an illogical amount of persistence.James Dyson "has 14 years of struggle. He builds 5,127 prototypes. He mortgaged his house. Some days, after doing all these experiments, he's climbing into bed at night covered in dust, crying at how painful what he's trying to do. It's 14 years and 5,127 prototypes before he has a vacuum of his own design, that he owns completely, that he could start selling to the public.We know at year 14 he's going to have success. What about year three? What if he stopped right here? That makes perfect sense. This is why it's so difficult. It is the logical decision. He should have stopped there, but he didn't. The founder is the guardian of the company's soul.I covered the biography of this guy named Sidney Harman. If you ever get into a luxury car, you'll see speakers that say Harman Kardon. He winds up writing this fantastic autobiography. He's 80 or 90 years old when he's writing it. It's called Mind Your Own Business. In that biography he's distilling 50 years. We haven't even been alive for 50 years. This dude had been trying to build companies, successful and unsuccessful for 50 years. Imagine what he knows.He gave the best description of what I feel is the founder's role. The founder is the guardian of the company's soul.You cannot be the guardian of your company unless you love it. Edwin Land, Enzo Ferrari, and Steve Jobs, they talk about their products the way you would describe your lover. It's not the same as, I made a toaster, here's the toaster. No, they describe it like they're in love with what they've done.No one would have known Walt Disney's name if he'd started Disney and sold it five years later.There is this weird mind virus. I have an idea, I'm going to start up, I'm going to scale up, I'm going to sell, and then I'm going to do that over and over again. Inevitably, the question is who are the entrepreneurs you look up to? Who are your entrepreneur heroes? And they start listing off people that literally worked in the same company forever. I don't understand. Are you learning from these people or not? Because no one would have known Walt Disney's name if he started Disney and sold it five years later. No one would know Job's name if he just got kicked out of Apple and then disappeared.The value of compounding knowledge.An investor understands the power of compounding. Knowledge compounds, too. Imagine going back and trying to talk to Warren Buffett about everything he knew at 35 compared to what Warren Buffett knew at 80. That's not the same person. I've read 272 biographies of entrepreneurs so far. I have a unique set of knowledge there. It's going to pale in comparison to what I will know two decades from now or three decades from now.Studying the birth of industries.Henry Ford had an idea. I want to build an easy, reliable car that the average person working at Ford can actually afford. That was unheard of. … Edison says something that changes Ford's life. He says, that's it, young man, you have it, keep at it. So, the next 5-10 years of struggle, he remembers what Edison said and it helped him. That's how Ford approached it. That's his idea. …Billy Durant had built this vertically integrated carriage company for horses. He … went and bought a bunch of other carriage brands, and put them under one umbrella. The exact same playbook at the early days of GM. … Henry Leland worked for Samuel Colt. The ideas that he learned in the mass production of firearms, he then shows up in Detroit and starts applying them to automobiles. When Henry Ford has a question, he goes to see Henry Leland. He is the wise old counsel with a lot more life experience.”On founders and culture.Whoever you are and whatever is important to you, put that into your company. Don't shy away from the eccentric part of your personality because your personality is the foundation and the beginning culture of the company.The downside of intense focus and dedication.The people that get really good at what they're doing don't allow themselves to think or do much of anything else.Jony Ive, who worked very closely with Steve Jobs, was talking about one of the main lessons from Steve Jobs. He's saying, “Steve was the most remarkably focused person I have ever met in my life.” Jony works with Steve almost every day. This guy who is having lunch with him damn near every day says he is the most focused person in his life. That should tell you to do an audit of your life. Am I focused?But also:It's safe to assume that every single person I have read about is smarter than I am. Yet you see all these smart-driven people make mistakes. They usually over optimize their professional life to the detriment of everything else. They destroy their personal lives. They destroy their health.Time is the best filter.I love this idea. It's somewhat analogous to Buffett's insistence on a track record, on data with which to judge a person. Decisions made over time inevitably reveal character. I don't read a story and say that person's dead, I have nothing to worry about. No, that personality type was alive then, they're alive today, they will be alive in the future. Human nature is constant. … When I come across somebody that's completely ruthless. The minute you stop being useful, they will discard you. This is a problem that appears over and over again.What is your solution, David? The solution I've come up with for my life is avoidance. I don't want to partner with you. I don't want to chase money with you. I don't want to be friends with you. … I am very selective about who I spend time with. I only have one good filter for this. I think there might only be one good filter. That is time. Time is the best filter. This is a public episode.

Samuel Colt's name is forever linked to the company he founded and the revolver he called the “Peacemaker.” Born in Connecticut in 1814, he was steeped in America's gun culture from an early age. His grandfather had served in George Washington's army, and Samuel inherited an old flintlock pistol from the family hero when he was only six. At the age of fifteen, while working in his father's textile plant, he built a galvanic cell (basically an early battery) and used it to set off explosives beneath the surface of a nearby pond during the Fourth of July. He continued to experiment with chemicals and combustion—as many young men do—and became fascinated by inventors' work to create a firearm that could shoot more than bullets before needing to reload. Join us as we teach you about Samuel Colt, Richard Gatling, and John Browning.

On today's episode Dan and Sam discuss the legendary firearms inventor and manufacturer, Sam Colt. Known as the 'great equalizer,' Sam Colt's revolver handgun was revolutionary and in its wake it left a nation iconic for its gun ownership and firearm obsession. Eliminating the need to reload, Colt pistols forever changed the game. This is his forgotten story and how his legacy lives on to this day. Born on July 19, 1814, in Hartford, Connecticut, Samuel Colt played a vital role in American culture and folklore. The inventor and creator of the first handheld revolver, Sam Colt made it possible to have a handgun that could fire rapidly without needing to be reloaded after every shot. Known as the great equalizer, it's been said that “Abe Lincoln may have freed all men, but Sam Colt made them equal.” Colt's knack for inventing and his passion for firearms paved the way for the American fascination with guns. Some would argue that it's because of Samuel Colt (and his shrewd business and advertising sense) that Colt became a household name, both during his lifetime and now, 200 years after his birth.

Dams clog rivers and streams all over New England. Environmentalists want to take many of them down to improve habitat for fish, but some entrepreneurs want to put them back to work doing their original jobs: making power. Plus, with the Trump Administration’s voter fraud commission meeting in New Hampshire this week, we revisit our conversation about the wacky political world of the Granite State. And, we take trips to two places that are trying to attract tourists: the factory site of a controversial gun magnate, and a mythical wonderland that takes shape just over the border in Québec. Built about 150 years ago, Mill Pond Dam in Colchester, Vt., is currently breached, but still creating a small swamp upstream. Photo by Kathleen Masterson for VPR What Do You Do With an Old Dam? The rivers and streams of New England are littered with thousands of dams. Many of them were used to produce the energy that sparked industry, but they’re now doing little more than than clogging waterways. Conservationists looking to restore the health of rivers are often met with political and emotional resistance when they try to remove large dams. So some are turning their attention to smaller, privately owned ones. Vermont Public Radio’s Kathleen Masterson took a closer look. Nick Cabral is a co-founder of Goose River Hydro in Belfast, Maine But not everyone’s ready to tear down old New England dams. In central Maine, a couple of young entrepreneurs sees potential in old dams in the form of renewable energy and profit. Maine Public Radio’s Fred Bever has more. Vote First or Die Voters cast ballots in Windham, New Hampshire. Photo by Allegra Boverman for NHPR. Even by New Hampshire's high standards, this was a pretty big week in politics. President Trump's controversial voter fraud commission met in Manchester, where one of the commission's members, long-time New Hampshire secretary of state Bill Gardner, faced criticism from all four members of the state's congressional delegation. Gardner used the occasion of the meeting to rebuke Kris Kobach, the Kansas Secretary of State, for his op-ed on Brietbart.com, suggesting widespread voter fraud in the 2016 New Hampshire election. It's a claim that FactCheck.org called “bogus.” Meanwhile, a state judge ruled against a provision in a new voter law that would have subjected voters to a possible fine or jail time if they failed to submit residency paperwork in a timely fashion. The judge wrote that the provision was a “very serious deterrent” to the right to vote. That New Hampshire's elections have come under scrutiny is something that grates at state residents. The Granite State takes pride in the way it conducts its elections, with no institution more sacred than its first-in-the-nation primary. Scott Conroy is a long-time political reporter, who grew up in neighboring Massachusetts, and who became enamored with New Hampshire's political culture while covering presidential candidates criss-crossing the state. His book is Vote First or Die: The New Hampshire Primary: Americas Discerning, Magnificent, and Absurd Road to the White House. NEXT caught up with Conroy earlier this year. Building a National Park Based on Hartford History Sparks Pride, and Discomfort Unlike New Hampshire, Connecticut has long suffered from a kind of civic inferiority complex. The state is stuck between Boston and New York, but far more congested than scenic New England destinations to the north. Student reporters Nicole Ellis (left) and Madyson Frame pose at Samuel Colt’s statue in Hartford’s Colt Park, with historian Bill Hosley. Photo by Sam Hockaday And then there are the money problems. It's one of the richest states in the nation, but the state budget is billions in the hole. And Hartford, the state’s capital, struggles with a perception that it has too much crime and not enough to do. But something big is on the horizon. A new national park, set to open in the next few years, will tell the story of one of the city's most important industrial leaders. Coltsville National Historical Park will be built on land that once belonged to firearms manufacturer Samuel Colt, and will include parts of the historic Colt factory complex. Colt had an outsized influence on Hartford and was a major player in the Industrial Revolution. But is his a history worth honoring? Madyson Frame, a recent graduate of Hartford's Journalism and Media Academy, reports. Lighting Up the Forest Flips the Switch on a Small Town A stroll through Foresta Lumina includes some sparkly, stunningly lit sections of forest. Photo by Chris Jensen While Hartford dreams about creating a tourist attraction from the ground up, Coaticook, Québec, which sits right on the Vermont border, pulled it off. Local officials took an unusual idea, made a $1 million gamble, and hit a tourism geyser: a high-tech enchanted woodland called Foresta Lumina. Reporter Chris Jensen, with the New Hampshire Center for Public Interest Journalism, went to see for himself. Below: a video from the Creators Project goes behind the scenes at Foresta Lumina.

In 1966, the Beatles played their friend Klaus Voorman their song “Tomorrow Never Knows” while Voorman went to work sketching what would become the cover to the band's next album, which I referenced in The Story Behind Imagine (by John Lennon). This album contained the songs “Taxman,” “Eleanor Rigby,” and “Good Day, Sunshine,” and was almost called After Geography. This suggestion was Ringo Starr's idea of a pun based on the Rolling Stones releasing Aftermath. Get it? After-geography? After-math? Like a high school schedule. Luckily, the band went with a very to-the-point title that referenced what the record, itself, does when being played. But that's neither Here, There or Everywhere when it comes to the game and movie Clue. We're here to talk about the weapon used for MURDER. I'm your host, Emily Prokop, and this is The Story Behind The Revolver. The Clue Series Butler you heard at the beginning of the episode was played by Paul from Rick and Paul Heal the World.

Welcome to a brand new and jam-packed episode of the Roadtreking RV Podcast. In this week's podcast, I have news and tips about a wide variety of topics related to RVers looking for places to go and things to do. And I reveal the best Christmas present ever, our brand new RV loaded with technology features so secret that if I told you about them, I'd have to .... well, you know. Well, maybe not that secret. But pretty secret anyways. [spp-player] Here are the shownotes for this episode. Our New RV and its Top Secret Features Yes, we have a new RV - the Roadtrek CS Adventurous XL. But I can't tell you everything I'd like to about it just yet. That's because we're testing out certain features that will one day be options but for now, have to be kept under wraps. I'm asked to not publicize details as I am testing this out for them. Several features on our new unit are not yet available for production models. Things like the air conditioning system. Yes, I do have one. No, it is not on the roof. It is somewhere else. Can't say more just yet. But not having the air conditioner topside means some valuable rooftop real estate has opened up and my roof is now totally covered with solar panels. The same "no comment" rule must be followed regarding details on the lithium-ion battery system I have. Here is all I can publicly say about the batteries: https://rvlifestyle.com/rv-lithium-batteries/ It's not that I am being deliberately coy. It's just that these features are not yet available. What we're testing is a prototype. But just as solar power revolutionized RV technology a few years ago, lithium-ion batteries will soon be the next Big Thing for recreational vehicles. Undoubtedly, the system I have will change and have different configurations available when it finally becomes available as an option. But because of rampant and erroneous speculation distributed on other boards and forums and because Roadtrek competitors rush to try and copy their technology, I have been asked to keep these details confidential from public disclosure until final details are decided. As soon as I can say or show more, I will. But that said, there is a lot we can say. Click the link to a post and video I did that shows off our new Roadtrek CS Adventurous XL New National Historical Park Draws Controversy A measure designating Samuel Colt's 19th-century gun factory in Connecticut as a national historical park has been signed into law by President Barack Obama. State elected officials have hailed the project as a way to boost one of Hartford's poorest neighborhoods and honor the revolver as a marvel of manufacturing. But notably absent from the celebrating is Colt's Manufacturing Co. The company remains based in Connecticut, where it and other gun makers have said they were left feeling unwelcome by a strict gun control law adopted after of the 2012 Newtown elementary school shooting. A gun industry association withdrew its support for the park project. Executives at Colt have declined to discuss the project. Why Diesel Fuel Costs More Than Gasoline We had a listener question about why diesel fuel now costs more than gasoline. It's not always been that way. Turns out there are a variety of reasons, as explained by the National Association for Convenience & Fuel Retailing.
