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.

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.

Por Williams Díaz Goyo Talvez milhões de pessoas nunca tenham ouvido falar, visto ou mesmo manuseado uma pistola potro, ou visto um western (filmes de cowboys), onde duelam dois pistoleiros, que provavelmente não tinham ideia de que suas vidas dependeriam da ingenuidade desse ilustre personagem. Samuel Colt, inventor e empresário americano famoso por seu envolvimento na indústria de armas. Nasceu em 19 de julho de 1814, em Hartford, Connecticut, EUA. Desde muito jovem, Colt mostrou grande interesse por armas e explosivos, o que o levou a realizar testes empíricos com este tipo de dispositivo, vindo mais tarde a estudar ciências, nas suas memórias diz-se que foi expulso aos 16 anos do centro naquele que estudou ciência destruindo parte do prédio durante um experimento. Seu pai, dono de uma fábrica de tecelagem de seda, o enviou em uma viagem marítima para a Índia, pois de alguma forma ele queria que ele abandonasse a ideia e se dedicasse aos negócios da família. Em Calcutá, Colt viu um modelo primitivo de revólver, com um mecanismo muito inseguro e não funcional. Ao retornar aos Estados Unidos, observou no navio em que viajava, uma catraca utilizada para levantar a âncora e, com base nela, esculpiu um mecanismo em madeira para acionar o cano do revólver. Ele solicitou sua primeira patente aos 18 anos, e seu sonho de aperfeiçoar a "arma impossível" "nunca desapareceu". Pioneiro no mundo da munição e outros campos, Colt dedicou-se por um tempo a várias atividades nas quais ganhava a vida como "o célebre Dr. Coult", dando palestras sobre química e demonstrando os efeitos do óxido nitroso entre o público quem queria. Como seu rival de fabricação Daniel Leavitt - que patenteou o primeiro revólver - e outro grande expoente das armas de fogo, Richard Gatling, Colt também era um maçom ativo. Financiado por seu pai, Colt com apenas 22 anos, criou um modelo funcional de revólver que patenteou na Grã-Bretanha e nos Estados Unidos. em 1835 e 1836, respectivamente. Ele fundou a PATERSON ARMS MANUFACTURING COMPANY em Paterson, EUA, e produz um revólver calibre 36, ação única e cinco tiros. A falta de investidores o impede de comprar máquinas e os revólveres são feitos à mão, então seu preço é muito alto e a empresa vai à falência em 1842, aos 28 anos. Depois disso, ele não desistiu e decidiu embarcar novamente no caminho do seu sonho. Colt aprendeu com sua experiência anterior e, desta vez, ele aluga uma fábrica totalmente equipada para reduzir o custo de cada arma e projeta um novo modelo aprimorado de seis tiros. Colt mais tarde funda a "COLT'S FIREARMS COMPANY" em Hartford, Connecticut. Colt inventa protótipos de cabos para acionar minas marinhas remotamente para o governo, mas o governo perde o interesse e Colt convence Samuel Morse, que também se presume ter sido um maçom (até agora não está confirmado) para usar suas descobertas para estabelecer a primeira ligação telegráfica submarina entre Nova York e Coney Island em 1843. Impressionado com seu primeiro revólver, os Texas Rangers fazem contato com Colt e, encomendam 1.000 revólveres dele em 1847 e projeta uma linha de montagem de correntes com peças padrão que são totalmente intercambiáveis entre si, algo totalmente novo na indústria de armas. A indústria da Colt cresceu rapidamente, fornecendo exércitos e indivíduos em todo o mundo, até o ponto em que continua a existir hoje. Possivelmente o modelo mais famoso foi o revólver Colt .45 de ação simples (projetado em 1872), usado pelos militares e atores na maioria dos filmes do gênero western, incluindo o Lone Ranger. Colt foi iniciado na Maçonaria em 19 de fevereiro de 1851, aos 37 anos, na Loja St. John's No. 4 em Hartford, Connecticut, na qual mais tarde continuou a participar ativamente após receber o grau de aprendiz. Samuel Colt morreu em 10 de janeiro de 1862 aos 48 anos de gota, em Hartford. Foi sepultado no Cemitério de Cedar Hill. O nome Colt sempre estará associado à pistola e curiosamente, seus produtos foram de grande uti --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/malhete-podcast/message

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.

Here is the direct link: https://practicalpreppingpodcast.buzzsprout.comLet's talk firearms!This is part 1 of a 2 part series on firearms...."Understanding Firearms, Their History, And Their Importance To Being Prepared"We are going to release the second episode tomorrow rather than waiting another day.There are actually many reasons to own a firearm.Hunting, collecting, personal defense, and even prepping for SHTF.There's an old quote that says, "God created man. Samuel Colt made them equal." That is especially true if a petite 90 lb lady is being attacked by a burly 240 lb thug intent on harming her. It's also true for the older of us, or if we are faced with multiple attackers.Question often comes up, "What firearm I should buy?"We'll address that in this series, and give you five firearms we believe everyone should have, and the order in which they should be acquired, but the choice is yours.We look at a Short History of firearms, from the flintlock to the machine gun & their usage which will help us better understand where we are today.In tomorrow's episode we will answer the questions about which firearms most preppers should have. The answer is still, "it depends" but we'll talk about some specific firearms and make some recommendations.The choice to own or not own firearms is still a personal choice.The choices you make depend on what you believe may happen after SHTF. We expect to survive and continue with life, while protecting our family and putting food on the table.We expect the need for firearms in catastrophic SHTF event will be much more likely to be in providing food and personal defense than it will be in fighting the unwashed hoards, but..... we ARE prepared if the alien zombie frogs or the fire breathing ninja turtles show up.Please consider supporting the podcast by buying us a cup of coffee.

Hello again from Connecticut, USA! Welcome to Part II of my exciting visit to Connecticut, USA. If you missed Part I, then be sure to listen to The Radio Vagabond episode (#187) or read the blog post to get caught up with all the magic that this charming city has to offer. Quick recap: I arrived in Connecticut, USA from Providence and attended a CouchCrash organised by the Couchsurfing community here. They call it ConnectiCOUCH and it's a weekend full of exciting experiences and parties for locals and travellers alike to meet up and make lasting friendships. After a wonderful walking tour of Hartford with local Margaret, we got back into her car and headed towards Manchester. And here is where we start this episode... ORIGIN OF THE YANKEES Directionally challenged Margaret tells me that because Connecticut is situated between New York and Boston, the state is divided into Boston and New York sports fans: for football, they are either Patriots or Giants fans, and for baseball, it's between the Red Sox and the Yankees. The sports rivalry is insane here. “My son is a Yankees supporter, and I am a Red Sox fan, and he would taunt me by wearing his Yankees hat around the house as a joke. It's all friendly rivalry and it's the same in most households in the region - families split in terms of their support for different sports teams” says Margaret. Margaret tells me how the Yankees became the Yankees. “When the Dutch first arrived in Connecticut from New York, they set up a fort in the area - now known as Hartford. Around the same time, an English pastor from Massachusetts by the name of Thomas Hooker settled in Hartford with his followers, unbeknownst to the Dutch. When the Dutch returned to Hartford after being away for a few years, they were met with Hooker and his people on their land. Of course, little skirmishes ensued for the rights to the land, but ultimately, they let Hooker stay and they left. But they were unhappy about this and called the settlers ‘Jankers' which in Dutch means ‘thief'. In the Dutch language, the letter J is pronounced as a Y, hence the name Yankees.” I wonder how many Yankees fans today know the original meaning of the name... CONNECTICOUCH WEEKEND OUTINGS The first day was our Hartford Day. There were four different things to choose from, and I chose to tour the Mark Twain House & Museum in the morning and the Hartford Walking Tour with Margaret in the afternoon (which you can listen to in Part I). Other options were a visit to the Old New-Gate Prison, a former prison and copper mine site, and adventures in nature: a hike, a visit to Wadsworth Falls State Park and then that River Tubing thing I talked to Jason about in the latest episode, where you flowed down the Farmington River just west of Hartford. Before Margaret joined us, when I was exploring Mark Twain's House, she did a tour of Coltsville National Park where Samuel Colt started his Hartford factory on the banks of the Connecticut River in 1847. Yes, that Samuel Colt, as in Colt Firearms. “Samuel Colt was an entrepreneur who wanted to get into the gun manufacturing industry. After a first failed attempt in Patterson, New Jersey, he returned to his birthplace of Connecticut to give it a try. At first, he wasn't received well by the locals: he couldn't secure land or finance, among other things. Somehow, he scavenged money and built up his Colt gun manufacturing empire which took off during the American Civil War. However, he passed away in his 40s and left the company to his wife which was a huge scandal back in those days. His wife, Elizabeth, was young (in her 30s) and was very short, but she ran that company like a badass boss. She took care of workers and ran the business even better than her late husband and propelled it into the household name we know today. She was a remarkable woman, and one of my personal heroines.” Margaret tells me that Samuel Colt wasn't a pushover, either. Rollin White, a friend of Samuel's and an engineer in his factory, approached him with a suggestion about Samuel's gun design. Being the hardened man he was, Samuel dismissed White's suggestions. White then took his ideas and patent and approached Winchester gun manufacturers and gave them the designs - which they took. They began manufacturing Colt's guns and gave White $0.25 for each gun sold, which turned White into a wealthy man. Even when Colt tried to update his original designs, the Winchester gun company took Colt to court. After the great history lesson, Margaret and I headed to the ConnectiCOUCH kickoff party hosted at Tomato Joe's & Shea's American Bar & Grill in Margaret's hometown, Manchester, Connecticut. Margaret tells about Manchester: how the city has a unique blend of traditional and historic village type of set up, and a more modern side of the city with shopping malls and high-rise buildings. She tells me that there is a lovely community in the area, and it is a great place to raise a family. ENGLISH INFLUENCE IN NEW ENGLAND The next day was Colchester Day. Yes, another place named after a place in good old England. But I guess that is okay since we are in New England after all. In the first episode of this season, I already talked about Boston being named after the small city of Boston, England. Here in New England, you will also find a Bristol, Leeds, Oxford, Cambridge, Southampton, Dover, Ipswich, Essex, Middlesex, Kensington, Lancaster, Bath, Surrey, Nottingham, Kent, Coventry, Westminster, and Sheffield. I guess the British settlers were super homesick and unimaginative in the ‘naming of places' department... This is just 5% of the English location names that have been reused in New England. Don't believe me? Google it my friend. And if you think that Manchester, Connecticut is the only Manchester in New England, think again. As far as I can see they have at least one Manchester in each of the six states of New England. And there are 35 Manchesters in total in the USA. On that note, I might add: there is not a single Woman's-Chester… but that might come soon after the Mr Potato Headcontroversy. If you're reading this in the future, you won't understand what I'm talking about but that was a thing that was a big part of the news here in March 2021. But there are Manchesters all over. And as far as I know, not a single football team is called Manchester United (#missedopportunity). Please correct me if I'm wrong on theradiovagabond.com/contact. And I might be wrong. Because I am wrong all the time. For example, I was wrong about something I mentioned in Part I...well, actually two things! RIGHTING MY WRONGS Okay, so the two things I said in the latest episode that are wrong: I said that Couchsurfing was totally free. It was when I joined, and it still is for most of the world but not if you live in the US. With COVID and people not travelling they understandably need money to maintain the site. The base rate for becoming a member of the Couchsurfing community is now $14.29 per year - which is super affordable considering the lifelong experiences it offers. But as mentioned, only if you're American (as of March 2021). If you are a verified member, you get a free year. Even if you're American. On their website they write: “Due to the impact of Covid-19, we need your immediate help to keep Couchsurfing alive. All of us who are members of Couchsurfing believe in something greater than money, possessions, and status. It took over 14 years for the Couchsurfing community to come together. Without your immediate help, this community will be lost forever.” To be honest, $14.29/year or $2.39 /month isn't a lot. And knowing the community, I'm pretty sure that most of the members agree. We can't imagine a world without Couchsurfing. I wrote to ConnectiCOUCH organiser, Jason, who features in Part I, to hear his thoughts on the matter. This is what he says: “It costs money to run websites and the thousands of dollars I've saved on Couchsurfing more than makes up for the $15 a year I can spend to support it.” The other thing I said that wasn't right: The telbee web app that allows you to send voice messages to me only works in Chrome. I said that it only works in Google Chrome. And apparently, that is not right. It should work in any browser. But Bernie Klein, the chief operating officer of telbee is a listener of The Radio Vagabond and a reader of the blog – because he sent me a voice message after the latest episode telling me that the app indeed works on all browsers. “Hi Palle, I hope you are doing well and receiving interesting messages. I heard that you might be experiencing difficulty using the app on other browsers. But the app indeed works on all major browsers, including Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge.” I'm not sure why I thought that but he's absolutely right. It works in all the browsers I could get my hands on. Both on my Mac and on my phone. So, I'm glad I got that set straight. Now there's no excuse for you not to send me a message. Just go totheradiovagabond.com/contact and click on the banner where it says talk to me. Once you have recorded it, you get a chance to listen to it and rerecord it. Right now, I would specifically like to know if you have ever used Couchsurfing.com. If you have, tell me your best Couchsurfing story from anywhere in the world. And if you never have, please tell me if it's something you would consider doing and if not… why not. Please record a message, but if you're a bit shy and prefer to write, you can also do that. Everything is ontheradiovagabond.com/contact. VOICE MESSAGE FROM A LISTENER And now, a message from a listener from Columbus, Ohio. “Hi, Palle, This is Dan from Columbus, Ohio. I've been enjoying your podcast for a while now. I think my favourite is your 12-hour Africa podcast - and yes, I listened to every minute of it! If you are ever in Columbus, Ohio then look me up. There are a ton of interesting things to do here. I am also a travel podcaster much like yourself, although I am not a digital nomad. My show is called Zipping Around the World and I focus on travel logistics and travelling on your own without the help of a tour company. Oh, and by the way: I love Danish pickled herring. Cheers Palle, and happy travels!” Hi Dan, Great to hear from you. I'm impressed that you actually listened to my record-breaking long episode from my entire trip through Africa. It's right what Dan said, it is more than 12 hours long and completely without any advertising breaks. And that you love Danish pickled herring: wow, I'm even more impressed! Not many non-Danish people like what we call “marineret sild”. Did you have a schnapps with it? A Danish akvavit? You should. I also wrote a bit with Dan after his voice note, and he elaborated that he has some friends from Odense, Denmark, which his wife and him got to spend some time with several years ago. And as for your podcast, Zipping Around the World: I started listening to it after I got your message. And you have a great voice, some interesting stories and a ton of travel tips. In one of my favourite episodes, Dan talks about going on the ferry from Hong Kong to Macau for the day. Something I did myself, so I can relate to what Dan and his buddy Bill were talking about. BACK IN CONNECTICUT I was spending the weekend at Jason and Lee's wonderful house in Colchester, and that was where the group met the next morning. This Saturday was to be Colchester Day, and again there were several different options to choose between in the program. Between 11 and 3pm there were six different choices: Devil's Hopyard Hike, Nautilus Nuclear Sub Tour, Fox Farm Brewery Tour and Tasting, Airline Trail Bike Ride, Nike Missile Site and the one I chose: Godspeed Opera House. After that, we went to Deep River Ferry and then a visit to Gillette Castle, which looks like a medieval fortress, but a step inside the stone castle reveals the built-in couches, table trackway, and wood carvings that all point to the creative genius that was William Gillette. Super interesting building. After that we were all back at Jason & Lee's House for the “ConnectiCOUCH Crash Cookout and Pool Party” - they have a thing for titles. It was a fantastic day. COUCHSURFING IN THE USA This hasn't been my first time Couchsurfing experience in the USA. Before I tell you about the last bit of what we did at ConnectiCOUCH, let me remind you of another experience I had with Couchsurfing. This was where I met Steve from Nashville. Listen to the full episode after this (it's number 69). PEZ CANDY On Sunday, the last day of the CouchCrash weekend was “New Haven Day” with options to take a walking tour of New Haven, a trip to Walnut Beach, a nice Chauncey Peak hike, rock climbing and what I did… a visit to the PEZ Factory. You know the iconic plastic PEZ dispensers where you tilt the head back and get a small peppermint candy pushed out. I grew up with them, so it was funny to be here at the factory that was actually like a PEZ museum. They have grown into being collector's items all over the world. The factory is in Connecticut, but PEZ Candy was actually invented in Vienna, Austria by Eduard Haas III as an alternative to smoking. The name PEZ comes from the German word for peppermint, “PfeffErminZ” taking the P from the first letter, E from the middle and Z from the last letter to form the word PEZ. In 1952, PEZ came to the United States and in 1973, PEZ built the first candy manufacturing facility in Orange, CT. I visited the PEZ Visitor Center that they opened in 2011. It's over 4,000 square feet (370 m2) dedicated to all things PEZ. We got to see the largest, most comprehensive collection of PEZ memorabilia on public display anywhere in the world: including the iconic PEZ motorcycle, the world's largest PEZ dispenser, and a viewing room looking into the production area. There's also a PEZ trivia game, retail area, interactive historical timeline and much more. I was mostly amazed how many different PEZ dispensers there were, and it was interesting to learn about an iconic brand like that. ONTO THE NEXT DESTINATION We ended the day and CouchCrash weekend with pizza and games in the park. I really had a wonderful time in Connecticut with all the interesting people I met along the way: especially Jason and Lee, and Margaret. It is great to know that I have good friends in this wonderful area of the US: that is the most rewarding aspect of travelling. I am now on my way to meet Belinda close to Howard University in Boston. And I am so looking forward to that :) My name is Palle Bo, and I gotta keep moving. See ya! I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM YOU! I really would like to hear from you. Where are you and what are you doing as you listen to this episode? You can either send me an email on listener@theradiovagabond.com or go to my website http://theradiovagabond.com/contact. Or send me a voice message by clicking on the banner.

Hej igen fra Connecticut, USA! Velkommen til Del II af mit spændende besøg i Connecticut, USA. Hvis du gik glip af Del I, så lyt til den eller læs blogindlæggether, og bliv opdateret på den magi, denne charmerende by har at byde på. Hurtigt resumé: Jeg ankom i Connecticut, USA fra Providence, og deltog i en CouchCrash organiseret af Couchsurfing-fællesskabet her. De kalder det ConnectiCOUCH, og det er en weekend fuld af spændende oplevelser og fester for såvel de lokale og rejsende, og en mulighed for at mødes og skabe venskaber. Efter en vidunderlig gåtur gennem Hartford med lokale Margaret, hoppede vi tilbage i hendes bil og kørte mod Manchester. Og det er her vi starter denne episode... YANKEES' OPRINDELSE Margaret, som er udfordret på retningssansen, fortæller mig at Connecticut befinder sig mellem New York og Boston, og at staten er delt op mellem Boston og New York sportsfans: I fodbold er de enten Patriots eller Giants fans, og i baseball er det mellem Red Sox og The Yankees. Sports-rivaliseringen er helt skør her. "Min søn er Yankee fan, og jeg er Red Sox fan, og han drillede mig ved at have sin Yankees hat på i vores hus, for sjov. Det er blot venlig rivalisering, og det er det samme i de fleste hjem i denne region - familier er splittede i forhold til, hvilket sport team de skal hole med", siger Margeret. Margaret fortæller mig hvordan the Yankees blev til the Yankees. "Da hollænderne først ankom til Connecticut fra New York satte de et fort op i dette område - nu kendt som Hartford. Omkring den samme tid ankom en engelsk præst fra Massachusetts ved navn Thomas Hooker, og slog sig ned med sin menighed i Hartford, uden hollænderne vidste det. Da hollænderne returnerede til Hartford efter at have været væk et par år, mødte de Hooker og hans folk på deres område. Selvfølgelig opstod der skærmysler over rettigheden til landet, men til sidst lod de Hooker blive, og de forlod stedet. Men de var utilfredse over det, og kaldte nybyggerne 'Jankers', hvilket betyder 'tyv' på hollandsk. På hollandsk udtales bogstavet J som et Y, derfor blev det til navnet Yankees". Jeg gad godt vide, hvor mange Yankee fans idag kender til navnets oprindelige mening. CONNECTICOUCH WEEKEND UDFLUGTER Den første dag var vores Hartford Day. Der var fire forskellige ting at vælge imellem, og jeg valgte en rundvisning på Mark Twain House & Museum om morgenen og Hartford Walking Tour med Margaret om eftermiddagen. De andre muligheder var at besøge Old New-Gate Prison, et tidligere fængsel og kobbermine, og eventyr i naturen: En vandretur, et besøg i Wadsworth Falls State Park og den River Tubing ting, jeg talte med Jason om i den seneste episode, hvor man flyder ned ad Farmington River lige vest for Hartford. Før Margaret sluttede sig til os, da jeg udforskede Mark Twain's hus, lavede hun en tour gennem Coltsville National Park hvor Samuel Colt startede sin Hartford fabrik på bredden af Connecticut River i 1847. Ja, dén Samuel Colt, som i Colt skydevåben (se Colt Firearms). "Samuel Colt var en entreprenør som ville ind i våbenindustrien. Efter at have fejlet første gang i Patterson, New Jersey, returnerede han til sin hjemstavn i Connecticut for at give det et forsøg. I første omgang tog de lokale ikke godt imod ham: Han kunne ikke få fat i land eller finanser, blandt andre ting. På en eller anden måde fik han skrabet penge sammen til at starte sit Colt våben-emperie, som for alvor startede under den amerikanske borgerkrig. Han døde imidlertid allerede, da han var i fyrrerne, og efterlod firmaet til sin kone, hvilket var en kæmpe skandale i de tider. Hans kone, Elizabeth, var ung (i 30erne) og var ikke ret høj, men hun kørte firmaet som en rigtig boss. Hun tog sig af arbejderne, og kørte forretningen endu bedre end den afdøde mand, og gjorde firmaet til det navn, vi kender idag. Hun var en bemærkelsesværdig kvinde, og en af mine personlige heltinder." Margaret fortæller mig at Samuel Colt heller ikke var til at rende om hjørner med. Rollin White, en af Samuel's venner og ingeniør på fabrikken, kom med et forslag til forbedring af Samuel's pistol-design. Som den hårde mand Samuel var, afviste han forslaget. White tog så sine idéer og patent til Winchester våbenfabrikken og gav dem begge dele. De begyndte at fremstille Colt's pistoler og gav White $0.25 for hvert pistol-salg, hvilket gjorde White til en velhavende mand. Selv da Colt prøvede at opdatere sine designs blev han sagsøgt af Winchester våbenfabrikken. Efter den lærerige historietime tog Margaret og jeg til ConnectiCOUCH kickoff party hos Tomato Joe’s Shea’s American Bar & Grill i Margaret's hjemby, Manchester, Connecticut. Margaret fortæller om Manchester: Hvordan byen har en unik blanding af traditionel og historisk landsby, og en mere moderne side af byen med indkøbscentre og højhuse. Hun fortæller mig at der er et godt fællesskab i området, og at det er et godt sted at starte en familie. ENGELSK INDFLYDELSE I NEW ENGLAND Den næste dag var Colchester Day. Ja, endnu et sted navngivet efter en by i gode, gamle England. Men det er ved okay, når vi nu er i New England. I den første episde af denne sæson har jeg allerede nævnt at Boston er opkaldt efter den lille by Boston i England. Her i New England vil du også finde en Bristol, Leeds, Oxford, Cambridge, Southhampton, Dover, Ipswich, Essex, Middlesex, Kensington, Lancaster, Bath, Surrey, Nottingham, Kent, Coventry, Westminster og Sheffield. De britiske nybyggere led nok af hjemvé og var lidt upfindsomme, da de skulle finde på nye bynavne... Dette er kun 5% af de engelske stednavne som er blevet genbrugt i New England. Tror du ikke på mig? Så kig på Google'ssøgeresultater, min ven ;) Og hvis du tror at Manchester, Connecticut er den eneste Manchester i New England, så tro om igen. Så vidt jeg kan se, har de mindst én Manchester i hver af de seks stater i New England. Og der er 35 Manchesters totalt i USA. I den anledning vil jeg tilføje: Der er ikke en eneste Woman's-Chester... Men det kommer nok snart ovenpå Mr Potato Headepisoden. Hvis du læser dette i fremtiden vil du ikke forstå, hvad jeg taler om, men det var en stor ting i nyhederne her i marts 2021. Men der er Manchesters over det hele. Så vidt jeg ved, er ikke et eneste American football hold kaldet Manchester United (#missedopportunity). Ret mig hvis jeg tager fejl på theradiovagabond.com/contact. Og jeg kan sagtens tage fejl. For eksempel, da jeg tog fejl af noget jeg nævnte i Del I...Ja, faktisk to ting! RETTELSE AF MINE FEJL Okay, der er to ting jeg sagde i sidste episode, som ikke passede: Jeg sagde, at Couchsurfing er helt gratis. Det var det, da jeg tilmeldte mig, og det er det også over det meste af verden, men ikke hvis du bor i USA. Med COVID og dermed færre rejser og besøgende, er det klart de skal bruge penge for at vedligeholde hjemmesiden. Basisraten for at blive medlem af Couchsurfing fællesskabet er lige nu $14.29 pr. år - hvilket er billigt sluppet, sammenlignet med de oplevelser for livet som man får. Men som nævnt, kun hvis du er amerikaner (marts 2021). Hvis du er godkendt medlem får du første år gratis. Også selvom du er amerikaner. På deres hjemmeside skriver de: "Pga. Covid-19 har vi brug for din hjælp med det samme for at holde Couchsurfing i live. Alle os som er medlemmer af Couchsurfing tror på at der er noget større end penge, ejendele og status. Det tog over 14 år at få Couchsurfing fællesskabet på benene. Uden din øjeblikkelige hjælp vil dette fællesskab være tabt for evigt." For at være ærlig er $14.29/årligt eller $2.39/md ikke meget. Og da jeg kender til fællesskabet, er jeg sikker på, de fleste medlemmer vil give mig ret. Vi kan slet ikke forestille os en verden uden Couchsurfing. Jeg skrev til ConnectiCOUCH arrangøren Jason (som er med i Del I), for at høre hans mening om det. Dette er hvad han skrev: "Det koster penge at køre hjemmesider, og de tusinder af dollars jeg har sparet på Couchsurfing opvejer mere end rigeligt de $15 jeg giver årligt i støtte." TELBEE VIRKER OVERALT Den anden ting jeg sagde, som ikke passede: telbee app'en som du kan bruge til at sende mig en besked, virker kun i Chrome. Jeg sagde, at det kun virker i Google Chrome. Det er tilsyneladende ikke rigtigt; den burde virke i alle internetbrowsere. Det lader til, at Bernie Klein, som er direktøren i firmaet telbee selv lytter til Radiovagabond podcasten og læser på bloggen - for han sendte mig en talebesked, hvor han forklarer at app'en virker i alle browsere: "Hej Palle. Jeg håber det går godt, og at du modtager interessante beskeder. Jeg hørte at du muligvis oplever problemer med at bruge app'en på andre browsere. Men app'en virker skam på alle de store browsers, inklusive Chrome, Safari, Firefox og Edge." Jeg er ikke sikker på, hvorfor jeg troede andet, for han har fuldstændig ret. telbee virker på alle browsere jeg kunne få fat i, både på min Mac og på min telefon. Så det var godt at få på plads. Nu har du derfor ingen undskyldning for ikke at sende mig en besked. Bare smut over til KONTAKT-siden og klik på banneret hvor der står ”Sig Noget”. Når du har optaget din besked, har du mulighed for at lytte den igennem og evt. optage om. Lige nu vil jeg specifikt gerne vide, om du har erfaring med at bruge Couchsurfing.com. Hvis du har, så fortæl mig din bedste Couchsurfing historie fra hvilket som helst sted i verden. Hvis du ikke har prøvet det, så fortæl mig om det er noget du kunne tænke dig at prøve - og hvis nej, hvorfor så ikke? Jeg vil helst have en talebesked, men hvis du er lidt genert og foretrækker at skrive, kan du også gøre det. Alt er påhttp://radiovagabond.dk/kontakt BESKED FRA EN LYTTER Og nu en besked fra en lytter i Columbus, Ohio. "Hej Palle. Det er Dan fra Columbus, Ohio. Jeg har nydt din podcast i et stykke tid nu. Jeg tror min favorit er din 12-timers Afrika podcast ─ og ja, jeg har hørt hvert et minut af den! Hvis du kommer til Columbus, Ohio, så tag kontakt. Der er tonsvis af interessante ting her. Jeg er også selv rejse podcaster, selvom jeg ikke er digital nomade, som dig. Mit show hedder Zipping Around the World og jeg fokuserer på rejselogistik og det at rejse selv uden hjælp fra et rejsebureau. Og forresten: Jeg elsker marinerede sild. Tak, Palle, og god rejse!" Hej Dan, Fedt at høre fra dig. Jeg er imponeret over, at du faktisk lyttede til min rekordlange episode fra hele min tur i Afrika. Det er rigtigt hvad du siger, at den er mere end 12 timer lang og fuldstændig uden reklamepauser. Og at du elsker marinerede sild: Wow, jeg er endnu mere imponeret. Ikke mange udlændinge kan lide marinerede sild. Fik du snaps sammen med silden? En dansk akvavit? Det burde du, de to ting går hånd i hånd. Jeg skrev lidt sammen med Dan efter hans talebesked, og han uddybede at han har nogle venner fra Odense i Danmark, som han og hans kone tilbragte tid med nogle år tilbage. Ang. din podcast Zipping Around The World: Jeg begyndte at lytte til den efter din besked. Og du har en god stemme, interessante historier og masser af rejsetips. I en af mine yndlingsepisoder fortæller Dan om at tage færgen fra Hong Kong til Macau på en éndagestur. Det var noget, jeg også gjorde, så jeg kan relatere til hvad Dan og hans kammerat Bill talte om. TILBAGE I CONNECTICUT Jeg tilbragte weekenden i Jason og Lee's vidunderlige hus i Colchester, og det var dér gruppen mødtes den næste morgen. Denne lørdag skulle være Colchester Day, og igen var der adskillige forskellige muligheder at vælge imellem i programmet. Mellem kl. 11 og kl. 15 var der seks forskellige valg: Devil's Hopyard Hike, Nautilus Nuclear Sub Tour, Fox Farm Brewery ølsmagning, Airline Trail Bike Ride, Nike Missile Site og den jeg valgte: : Godspeed Opera House. Efter det tog vi Deep River Ferry færgen og besøgte Gillette Castle, som ligner et fort fra middelalderen udefra, men indenfor stenslottet finder man indbyggede sofaer, borde og træudskæringer, som alle peger på det kreative geni William Gillette. Super interessant bygning. Efter det var vi alle tilbage i Jason & Lee's hus til "ConnectiCOUCH Crash Cookout and Pool Party" - they have a thing for titles. It was a fantastic day. COUCHSURFING I USA Det er ikke første gang jeg har oplevelser med Couchsurfing i USA. Før jeg fortæller dig det sidste vi gjorde i ConnectiCOUCH, så lad mig minde dig om en anden oplevelse jeg havde med Couchsurfing. Det var der hvor jeg mødte Steve from Nashville. Lyt til hele episoden efter denne (det er nummer 99). PEZ CANDY Om søndagen, den sidste dag i CouchCrash weekenden, var det "New Haven Day" med muligheder for at tage en vandretur i New Haven, en tur til Walnut Beach, en skøn Chauncey Peak vandretur, en klatretur i klipperne, og det jeg valgte: Et besøg på PEZ Fabrikken. Du kender de ikoniske PEZ dispensere, hvor man vipper hovedet tilbage på figuren og får en lille pebermyntepastil. Jeg voksede op med dem, så det var skægt at være her på fabrikken, som egentlig var et PEZ museum. PEZ er idag samleobjekter verden over. Fabrikken er i Connecticut, men PEZ slik var faktisk opfundet i Wien, Østrig af Eduard Haas III som et alternativ til rygning. Navnet PEZ kommer fra det tyske ord for pebermynte, "PfeffErminZ", hvor man har taget det første bogstav, P, det midterste bogstav, E, og det sidste bogstav, Z, til at forme ordet PEZ. I 1952 kom PEZ til USA og i 1973 byggede man den første slikfabrik i Orange, CT. Jeg besøgte PEZ Visitor Center som de åbnede i 2011. Det er over 370 m2 og dedikeret til alle ting, der har med PEZ at gøre. Vi fik set den største, mest omfattende samling af PEZ memorabilia i hele Verden: inkl. den ikoniske PEZ motorcykel, verdens største PEZ dispenser, og et lokale hvor vi kunne se ind til produktionen. Der er også et PEZ trivia spil, handelsområde, interaktiv historisk tidsline og meget mere. Jeg blev mest forbløffet over hvor mange forskellige PEZ dispensere der var, og det var interessant at lære om et så ikonisk mærke. VIDERE TIL NÆSTE DESTINATION Vi sluttede dagen og CouchCrash weekenden med pizza og leg i parken. Jeg havde virkelig en fantastisk tid i Connecticut med alle de interessante mennesker jeg mødte på vejen: Især Jason & Lee, og Margaret. Det er godt at vide, at jeg har nære venner i dette vidunderlige område af USA: Det er det bedste ved at rejse. Jeg er nu på vej for at møde Belinda tæt på Howard University i Boston. Og det glæder jeg mig rigtigt meget til. Mit navn er Palle Bo ─ og jeg skal videre! Vi ses! JEG VIL GERNE HØRE FRA DIG! Jeg vil gerne høre fra dig.

Riding Shotgun With Charlie#094Gabby CannonsA Girl & A Gun Connecticut One of the great things about having a show like mine is the referrals. I ask my 2A friends about potential passengers and they’ll reach out to their contacts and let their friends know I may be calling. That’s what happened with Gabby Cannons. I was concerned about getting out of New England during the summer, so Robyn Sandoval (RSWC #080) from A Girl & A Gun (AGAG) connected me with Gabby. I headed down to Hartford to meet with her. We’d been going back and forth since the summer and finally made it happen. Gabby was introduced to firearms from an old boyfriend. Her next boyfriend certified people to carry as a security guard so she was at the range regularly. The relationships may not have lasted, but her interest in firearms did. When she didn’t have someone to take her to the range, she invited her mother, who was happy to oblige. After she saw a flyer for A Girl & A Gun at the range, she knew this was the group for her. After a couple years, the other facilitator wasn’t able to keep the commitment to the group, Gabby was approached to take over. She had to meet the AGAG requirements of being an NRA certified instructor, certified in Stop The Bleed, CPR & the SIG SAUER instructor certification. A month before her training at SIG Academy, she broke her hand and had to adapt her training to do everything one handed. At the AGAG annual conference a few years ago, she volunteered to help load magazines at the “Heligunner”, where women can shoot AR-15s at targets while flying in a helicopter. This is where she met her husband. After two years of a long distance relationship, she was able to convince him to move from Texas (Free America) to Connecticut. We talk about how New England is a bit different from other states and how our laws are a bit out of touch. In both MA & CT, we can own pre-1994 ‘so called’ high capacity magazines. In 2020, AGAG was able to accommodate their members by doing their annual conference ‘virtually’ and online. The AGAG Connecticut chapter has been meeting online as well. They have monthly online meetings teaching their members about Stop The Bleed, gun cleaning, and other firearms related issues. Please check out their website and Facebook pages to get more information and to join AGAG or the AGAG in Connecticut. Come with Gabby and I as we get a selfie in front of the Samuel Colt statue at Colt Park and snap a selfie in front of the Colt Museum, both in Hartford, CT.

Samuel Colt changed America when he invented the six-shooter, and James Rasenberger tells the history and fascinating story of Colt and his invention in his newest book, "Revolver."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
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.

Happy Mother's day everyone. On this episode of Cheese N' Eggs, Navam and I discuss some martial arts stuffs, as well as all as a bunch of manga that we like. Also, I forgot to say this on the episode but we have an email for you to send comments and questions to. If you do not want your comment or question to be read/answered on a solo episode of the podcast, please say so in the email. It will be linked below My links twitter: https://twitter.com/stgblack2 e-mail- cheeseneggspod@gmail.com Below is all the shit Navam wanted me to plug in the description as well as the Harry Potter 1911 copypasta. Enjoy the read Record of Ragnarok, Pluto, Monster, 20th Century Boys, Kingdom, Chainsaw Man, Jujutsu Kaisen, Golden Kamuy, Eyeshield 21, Blue Period Ok, this has been driving me crazy for seven movies now, and I know you're going to roll your eyes, but hear me out: Harry Potter should have carried a 1911. Here's why: Think about how quickly the entire WWWIII (Wizarding-World War III) would have ended if all of the good guys had simply armed up with good ol' American hot lead. Basilisk? Let's see how tough it is when you shoot it with a .470 Nitro Express. Worried about its Medusa-gaze? Wear night vision goggles. The image is light-amplified and re-transmitted to your eyes. You aren't looking at it--you're looking at a picture of it. Imagine how epic the first movie would be if Harry had put a breeching charge on the bathroom wall, flash-banged the hole, and then went in wearing NVGs and a Kevlar-weave stab-vest, carrying a SPAS-12. And have you noticed that only Europe seems to a problem with Deatheaters? Maybe it's because Americans have spent the last 200 years shooting deer, playing GTA: Vice City, and keeping an eye out for black helicopters over their compounds. Meanwhile, Brits have been cutting their steaks with spoons. Remember: gun-control means that Voldemort wins. God made wizards and God made muggles, but Samuel Colt made them equal. Now I know what you're going to say: "But a wizard could just disarm someone with a gun!" Yeah, well they can also disarm someone with a wand (as they do many times throughout the books/movies). But which is faster: saying a spell or pulling a trigger? Avada Kedavra, meet Avtomat Kalashnikova. Imagine Harry out in the woods, wearing his invisibility cloak, carrying a .50bmg Barrett, turning Deatheaters into pink mist, scratching a lightning bolt into his rifle stock for each kill. I don't think Madam Pomfrey has any spells that can scrape your brains off of the trees and put you back together after something like that. Voldemort's wand may be 13.5 inches with a Phoenix-feather core, but Harry's would be 0.50 inches with a tungsten core. Let's see Voldy wave his at 3,000 feet per second. Better hope you have some Essence of Dittany for that sucking chest wound. I can see it now...Voldemort roaring with evil laughter and boasting to Harry that he can't be killed, since he is protected by seven Horcruxes, only to have Harry give a crooked grin, flick his cigarette butt away, and deliver what would easily be the best one-liner in the entire series: "Well then I guess it's a good thing my 1911 holds 7+1." And that is why Harry Potter should have carried a 1911. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/stephen-black4/message

In The Past Lane - The Podcast About History and Why It Matters
This week at In The Past Lane, the American History podcast, we learn about the film “Gone With The Wind,” its dark racist themes, and how African Americans organized protests against the film when it debuted in 1939. And we also take a look at some key events that occurred this week in US history, like the landmark Supreme Court decision, Marbury vs. Madison, the 1973 occupation of Wounded Knee by members of the American Indian Movement, and the swearing in of Hiram Revels as the first African American member of the U.S. And birthdays, including February 24, 1928: Michael Harrington February 26, 1846: Buffalo Bill February 27, 1902: Marian Anderson For more information about the In The Past Lane podcast, head to our website, www.InThePastLane.com Feature Story: Racism, History, and “Gone With The Wind” Eighty years ago this week, on February 29, 1940, the film "Gone with the Wind" swept the Academy Awards. The blockbuster film, one of several classics to come out in the remarkable year of 1939 (which also included "Stagecoach" and "The Wizard of Oz"), was based on the best-selling book by Margaret Mitchell. Margaret Mitchell was born in Atlanta, Georgia in 1900. Her parents imparted to her very different influences. From her father, a prominent lawyer and president of the Atlanta Historical Society, she grew up listening to stories about old Atlanta and glories of the Confederacy. From her mother, a women of more radical leanings who was active in the suffrage movement, Mitchell developed her independent personality. After studying briefly at Smith College in Massachusetts, she returned to Atlanta and became one of the first women to land a job as a journalist for the Atlanta Journal. In 1925 she married John Marsh and one year later, while recovering from an ankle injury, she began writing a work of fiction that became Gone with the Wind. Mitchell actually finished the 1,000-page manuscript in 1926, but had trouble finding a publisher. The book was finally published in 1935 and became an instant hit, selling one million copies within six months. The following year it won the Pulitzer Prize. By the time of her death in 1949, more than eight million copies had been sold in forty different countries. The essential story is by now familiar to most. In the beginning, the reader is immersed in a idyllic world of the antebellum South and the plantation-owning elite. But when the Civil War breaks out, the brave sons of the South march off to fight the Yanks and the old South begins to crumble. Within this drama is the story of the tempestuous Scarlett O'Hara and her fight both to save her family plantation, the much-loved Tara, and to win the heart of the strong and dashing Rhett Butler. With the success of the book, a film adaptation was inevitable. Mitchell sold the film rights to the producer David O. Selznick for $50,000, and later received another $50,000 in royalties. News of the forthcoming film generated a lot of excited anticipation among fans of the book. But not all Americans were thrilled. African Americans rightly understood Mitchell’s book as a deeply racist depiction of a “Lost Cause” version of slavery, the Confederacy, and Reconstruction. In her telling, enslaved African Americans were simple-minded people who were content with slavery and loved their white owners. And she celebrated the Ku Klux Klan as an organization that rescued the South from the alleged depredations of emancipated blacks and Northern carpetbaggers. African Americans knew that it was this twisted version of the Civil War and Reconstruction that was used by white supremacists to justify Jim Crow, lynching, and segregation. So, they mobilized against GWTW long before the filming began. They wrote letters to David Selznick, the film’s famed producer, urging him to drop the project. "We consider this work to be a glorification of the old rotten system of slavery, propaganda for race-hatreds and bigotry, and incitement of lynching," wrote one group from Pittsburgh. Several African American newspapers threatened to organize a boycott of not just GWTW, but any film made by Selznick. The pressure didn’t stop the film from being made, but it did convince Selznick to – very reluctantly – delete the n-word from the script. GWTW premiered on December 15, 1939 in Atlanta and quickly broke all existing box office records. For white Americans, the film represented a compelling fusion of romance and history. For many African Americans, however, GWTW was just what they feared it would be: a racist technicolor extravaganza that told a white supremacist version of the history of slavery, the Confederacy, and Reconstruction. It was, they charged, nothing more than a milder and prettier version of the original American blockbuster, The Birth of A Nation, which had been released in 1915. That infamous film celebrated the Ku Klux Klan as heroes who saved the South from the horrors of racial equality. GWTW avoided any references to the KKK, but it did present enslaved African Americans as happy and content people who loved their white “owners.” These characteristics are embodied in the role of Mammy, an enslaved woman in the O’Hara household who remains cheerfully devoted to Scarlett and the family through all their travails. In the film, there’s no evidence of the violence, coercion, and exploitation that actual slavery was based upon. Mammy was played by Hattie McDaniel and she received both praise and criticism from African American leaders and writers. Some adopted a practical position, arguing that because there were so few roles in Hollywood available for African Americans, black actors should seize any opportunity that came their way. Others, however, said the portrayal of black characters in GWTW was demeaning and that it played to racist stereotypes. Hattie McDaniel herself admitted she was conflicted, but ultimately decided to make the most of the opportunity. Nonetheless, many African Americans participated in protests outside of theaters showing GWTW. They carried signs that took aim at its rosy depiction of slavery. "YOU'D BE SWEET TOO UNDER A WHIP!" read one sign carried outside a Washington, DC theater. "Gone With the Wind glorifies slavery" read another. At the Academy Award ceremonies in 1940, "Gone with the Wind" won 10 Academy Awards, including Best Picture. Its director, Victor Fleming, earned Best Director honors, while Vivien Leigh won Best Actress for her portrayal of Scarlett. And here’s where things got complicated: Best Supporting Actress went to Hattie McDaniel for her portrayal of Mammy. On the one hand, McDaniel made history by becoming the first African American to win an Academy Award. On the other, she did so by playing what critics then and now saw as a racist caricature of an enslaved woman. Hattie McDaniel responded to the criticism by arguing that Hollywood would have found someone to play the role, if not her. And, she said, she did her best to portray Mammy as a positive character. As she put it: “You can best fight any existing evil from the inside.” The next black woman to win an Academy Award? Halle Berry more than 60 years later in 2001. As for Margaret Mitchell, she never wrote another novel (hence the expression, "that's all she wrote") and despite her fame, lived a quiet life with her husband. "Gone with the Wind," however, lived on. The book remained in print year after year through countless editions. The film likewise enjoyed several revivals. But with the civil rights movement of 1960s and 1970s came more scrutiny of the racism in the book and film. This scrutiny intensified as a new generation of historians rejected the Lost Cause version of slavery, the Civil War, and Reconstruction, in favor of an interpretation that exposed the violence and cruelty of slavery and the remarkable success of Reconstruction that was ultimately overthrown by a white supremacist counter-revolution that imposed the Jim Crow racial order. GWTW still has fans – including, apparently, President Trump who just a few days ago slammed the Academy Awards for awarding a South Korean film, Parasite, the Best Picture honor. Trump said, “Can we get ‘Gone With the Wind’ back, please?” But GWTW is now increasingly seen as a relic of a time when the nation was thoroughly segregated, when most African Americans could not vote, and when most white Americans considered the South’s defeat in the Civil War, not a victory for human rights and democracy, but rather a tragedy unjustly visited upon a noble people.

February 24, 1803 Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court John Marshall issued his landmark ruling, “Marbury vs Madison.” The specifics of the case are almost irrelevant. What mattered was that Marshall claimed – largely out of thin air – that the Supreme Court had the power of “judicial review” that is, the power to declare laws constitutional or unconstitutional. No such power is mentioned in the Constitution, but Marshall’s declaration went unchallenged and over time came to be accepted as fact. This, by the way, is a bit of history that will make any so-called “originalist” very uncomfortable. And if you want to learn more on this topic, check out ITPL Episode 94. February 25, 1870 – 150 years ago – Hiram Revels of Mississippi became the first African American sworn in as a member of the US Senate. Revels had been born a free man in 1827 and grew up to be an educator and minister. He settled in Mississippi after the Civil War and entered politics. His arrival in the Senate symbolized the revolution of multiracial democracy that was taking hold in the post-Civil War South during Reconstruction as millions of emancipated African Americans voted and hundreds won political office. But the racist opposition that Revels and the other African American members of Congress faced foretold the eventual counter-revolution that eventually re-imposed white supremacy in the South. February 27, 1973 - some 200 members of the American Indian Movement occupied the town of Wounded Knee in South Dakota. They were demanding justice for Native Americans and chose Wounded Knee – the site of an 1890 massacre of hundreds of Native Americans by the US military – for its symbolic value. Police and federal marshals soon surrounded the protestors, beginning a prolonged standoff that involved frequent exchanges of gunfire. The protestors eventually surrendered after 71 days. Their demands were not met, but the incident did bring attention to the deplorable state of affairs on many reservations. Quick Events Feb 24, 1868 The House of Representatives voted to impeach President Andrew Johnson Feb 25, 1836 Samuel Colt received a patent for his repeating revolver Mar 1, 1961 President JFK established the Peace Corps Notable people were born this week in American history Feb 24, 1836 - artist Winslow Homer was born in Boston, MA. Homer is one of this historian’s top two favorite American artists. He painted and drew some really important works in the post-Civil War American South, especially scenes depicting the lives of emancipated African Americans. Later he focused on seascapes along the New England coast. And I know you’re wondering – who’s my other top two artist? Edward Hopper, of course. And here’s a fun fact that might explain my affinities: both Homer and Hopper painted some of their most remarkable works in my hometown, the seaside city of Gloucester, MA. February 24, 1928 - writer, social activist, and socialist leader Michael Harrington, was born in St. Louis, Missouri. Harrington – who incidentally graduated from the college where I work – College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, MA - is best known for his landmark book about the extensive but hidden poverty in the United States, The Other America (1962). This work was a major inspiration for the anti-poverty measures undertaken by the JFK and LBJ administrations in the mid-1960s. February 26, 1846 - western scout, buffalo hunter, and showman William Cody, aka “Buffalo Bill,” was born in LeClaire, Iowa. Cody was working in the west as a guide in the 1870s when a writer in NYC named Ned Buntline began publishing dime novels of western adventures featuring a character loosely based on him named Buffalo Bill. Cody eventually went to NYC to perform on stage as Buffalo Bill. And in 1883, now keenly aware of the insatiable appetite among Americans for tales of the Old West, he founded Buffalo Bill’s Wild West. Essentially a western-themed circus, it dazzled audiences for the next 35 years, playing a major role in popularizing many myths about the American west and the frontier. Feb 27, 1902 the great African American singer Marian Anderson was born in Philadelphia. Anderson was a world-famous contralto in the late 1930s when an effort to schedule one of her performances at Constitution Hall in Washington, DC was blocked by the group that controlled the venue: The Daughters of the American Revolution. They refused to allow an African-American to sing at the historic site. So, in stepped Eleanor Roosevelt, who arranged to have Anderson sing an outdoor, Easter Sunday concert at the Lincoln Memorial. Thousands turned out for the concert and millions listened to it on national radio. Years later, Marion Anderson said, “I forgave the DAR many years ago. You lose a lot of time hating people.” Quick birthdays: Feb 24, 1885 Admiral of the US Navy Chester Nimitz Feb 25, 1888 diplomat and Sec of State John Foster Dulles Feb 28, 1901 Nobel Prize winning chemist, Linus Pauling The Last Word Let’s give it to Hiram Revels, who 150 years ago this week became the first African American to serve in the US Congress. Here’s an excerpt from a speech he gave in 1871 in which he noted the bitter racism that African Americans faced during Reconstruction: “I find that the prejudice in this country to color is very great, and I sometimes fear that it is on the increase. For example, let me remark that it matters not how colored people act, it matters not how they behave themselves, how well they deport themselves, how intelligent they may be, how refined they may be—for there are some colored persons who are persons of refinement; this must be admitted—the prejudice against them is equally as great as it is against the most low and degraded man you can find in the streets of this city or in any other place. This Mr. President, I do seriously regret. And is this prejudice right? Have the colored people done anything to justify the prejudice against them that does exist in the hearts of so many white persons, and generally of one great political party in this country? Have they done anything to justify it? No, sir.” Music for This Episode Jay Graham, ITPL Intro (JayGMusic.com) The Joy Drops, “Track 23,” Not Drunk (Free Music Archive)Borrtex, “Perception” (Free Music Archive) Andy G Cohen, “Bathed in Fine Dust” (Free Music Archive)Blue Dot Sessions, "Pat Dog" (Free Music Archive) Jon Luc Hefferman, “Winter Trek” (Free Music Archive)The Bell, “I Am History” (Free Music Archive) Production Credits Executive Producer: Lulu Spencer Graphic Designer: Maggie Cellucci Website by: ERI Design Legal services: Tippecanoe and Tyler Too Social Media management: The Pony Express Risk Assessment: Little Big Horn Associates Growth strategies: 54 40 or Fight © In The Past Lane, 2020 Recommended History Podcasts Ben Franklin’s World with Liz Covart @LizCovart The Age of Jackson Podcast @AgeofJacksonPod Backstory podcast – the history behind today’s headlines @BackstoryRadio Past Present podcast with Nicole Hemmer, Neil J.

Schon mit 10 Jahren nimmt er die Waffen seines Vaters auseinander und setzt sie wieder zusammen. Er experimentiert mit Schießpulver und fliegt mit 14 von der Schule - wegen Waffenbesitzes. Samuel Colt sucht das Abenteuer. Autorin: Ariane Hoffmann
Mit zehn Jahren nahm er die Waffen seines Großvaters auseinander, mit 14 sprengte er seine Schule in die Luft, mit 21 erhielt er ein Patent auf seine erste Pistole: Samuel Colt. Wie kaum ein anderer Tüftler hat er die Waffengeschichte der USA geprägt. Sein Peacemaker, Friedensstifter, gilt auch heute noch als Legende. Das Geschäft mit dem Tod machte ihn reich. Samuel Colt wurde am 19. Juli 1814 geboren - vor 205 Jahren.

The National Park Service has awarded a $750,000 grant to historic Colt Park in Hartford, the factory Samuel Colt started in the 1800s to make his iconic gun. But in 2018, being a gun manufacturer is not so easy. Remington Firearms recently filed for bankruptcy. But the making of guns has been an intricate part of our history. Back in the mid-1800s, one gun maker went beyond just the making of firearms. He wanted to create a workplace utopia at his factory in Hartford, Conn.

The new Texian government broke off San Antonio's special relationship with the Comanche empire, provoking renewed hostilities from the horsemen off the plains. Newcomers to the town had to integrate themselves quickly into the fighting units of Old San Antonians and learn the lessons of frontier warfare firsthand.
This week we make the biggest rookie podcasting mistake ever and screw up the sound. Steph didn’t realize that only one mic was on so we won’t fault you if you decide to skip this week. If you do decide to listen to the horror show that is this episode, we're talking about season six episodes 18 & 19. In 'Frontierland' Sam and Dean time travel to 1861 and meet Samuel Colt (yes, that Samuel Colt) to gather the ingredient that should kill Eve. In 'Mommy Dearest' Eve is making hybrids and Sam, Dean, Bobby, and Cas have to stop her.

A slight departure from our usual format, Cheryl and I meander through some trivial tidbits from the Wild West including Saloons, The evolution of the Wagon and the strange case of Samuel Colt's lost shipment of six guns. There's even deleted scenes and a ghost story or two!
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.
