Podcasts about Samuel Morse

Ever feel like your problems are too big, too vague, too tangled to tackle? Dr. Mark L. Teague calls it “the blob”—that overwhelming mass of modern challenges we all face. In this powerful episode of Productivity Smarts, host Gerald J. Leonard sits down with Dr. Teague, economist, former finance executive, and author of A Working Man's Guide, to reveal a game-changing approach: frame the problem before you fight it. Dr. Teague shares the strategy that helped him go from farmhand to PhD and Wall Street leadership: simplify the chaos, break it into components, and work against a frame, not a feeling. We also take a look at his Impact Index—a sharp diagnostic tool to evaluate whether someone's ambition and capability align—and a deep observation at why building a life of abundant purpose is the ultimate productivity advantage. Learn how principled thinking, rooted in traditional values, leads not just to success—but to purpose. Let's dive in. What We Discuss [00:00] Introducing Dr. Mark L.

  GB2RS News Sunday, the 27th of April 2025   The news headlines: RSGB delegates attend special IARU Region 1 Interim Meeting in Paris Join the RSGB in celebrating World Morse Day Be part of the RSGB's team at the Youngsters on the Air summer camp The RSGB is participating in the International Amateur Radio Union Region 1 Interim Meeting in Paris this weekend. The event is of particular historical significance as it coincides with the centenary of the founding of the IARU in 1925, as well as the 75th anniversary of the establishment of IARU Region 1 in 1950. The French host society, REF, is also marking its 100th anniversary. This year's meeting in Paris reflects a broader scope than in previous years and, for the first time, includes ‘Youth Matters' on the agenda. It also covers the usual focus areas of HF, VHF, UHF and Microwave, as well as Electromagnetic Compatibility. The RSGB has been a key contributor to the meeting, submitting papers that include future options for the 23cm band and the harmonisation and protection of HF bands. Three delegates from the RSGB are attending the meeting in person, including the newly appointed RSGB President Bob Beebe, GU4YOX. There will be eight other RSGB representatives attending remotely. The meeting serves as both a celebration of amateur radio's rich heritage and a forward-looking forum to address the challenges and opportunities facing the global amateur radio community. You can view meeting documents at conf.iaru-r1.org  In celebration of the centenary of the IARU the RSGB has created a web page to share information about its part in the celebrations. This includes a link to an RSGB archive video from the IARU meeting in Paris in 1950, as well as the RSGB's July 1925 T & R Bulletin that contains an announcement detailing the formation of the IARU. Go to rsgb.org/iaru-centenary for further details. Today, Sunday the 27th of April, is World Morse Day. The day honours the birthday of the inventor of Morse code, Samuel Morse, who was born on this day in 1791. To celebrate the occasion, the RSGB has released a video with a question in Morse code for you to answer. Once you have used your Morse skills to decipher the question, get involved by leaving your answer in the comments section under the post.

The Kp index peaked at 5.33 on the 21st of April as the solar wind speed hit just above 600 kilometres per second, and active geomagnetic conditions were observed. This was caused by a massive coronal hole on the Sun's surface, which measures nearly 700,000km in length. At the time of writing, part of it is still Earth-facing, but the Bz or interplanetary magnetic field is facing North, so its negative effects are not being felt. The Kp index was down to 3.67 on the morning of Thursday, the 24th of April, but it wouldn't take much for the Bz to swing southwards and for the Kp index to rise again. Meanwhile, the solar flux index has risen from a recent low of 148 up to 168. This has meant MUFs over a 3,000km path have reached 25 MHz at times, but have usually been slightly lower. If the Kp index can stay low, there is a good chance of higher MUFs being attainable, but we have probably seen the best of 10m propagation until the autumn. Much of the recent DX has been worked on slightly lower frequencies, such as VP2VI British Virgin Islands on 40 and 20m, C5R The Gambia on 20 and 12m, and HD8G Galapagos Islands on 20, 17, and 12m. There is still the chance of DX on 10m, but it may be fleeting. Next week, NOAA predicts that the solar flux index will stay high, perhaps reaching 170 to 175. We may get a slight respite from unsettled geomagnetic conditions from the 26th to the 30th of April, when the Kp index is forecast to be around two to three. However, unsettled geomagnetic conditions are forecast for the beginning of next month, with Kp indices of five or six on the 1st and 2nd of May. And now the VHF and up propagation news from G3YLA and G4BAO Next week, high pressure should dominate, meaning a chance of Tropo for much of the time which will probably favour paths to the east, to Scandinavia or northern Europe.  Rain scatter won't have featured much other than over northwest Britain in recent days, and meteor scatter is reducing back to random activity, which tends to be better in the early hours before dawn. The solar conditions have continued to keep the Kp index up, and there was a fine auroral opening last week on the 16th of April, so for more aurora, it's still worth checking for when Kp values nudge above five. As the end of April moves into May, we can start to give serious thought to the coming Sporadic-E season. Hesitant beginnings often show up on 10m and 6m, and, as usual, the digital modes will be best for any weak events. CW and SSB are just possible in the stronger openings, especially on 10m.  The background rule is that there are usually two preferred activity periods, one in the morning and a second in late afternoon and early evening. However, at the start of the season, there can be a lot of spread in the timings. EME path losses are at their lowest with perigee today, Sunday the 27th, and the Moon declination is positive and rising. Moon windows will lengthen along with peak elevation, and 144MHz sky noise starts the week low but increases to moderate as the week progresses. From late Sunday to early Monday, the Sun and Moon are close. And that's all from the propagation team this week.

It's Wednesday, April 2nd, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Nigerian Muslims killed 11 Christians last Thursday Last Thursday, suspected Fulani Muslim militants killed 11 Christians during a raid on a Christian farming community in central Nigeria. A local resident told International Christian Concern, “In the late evening, armed militants surprised us with their assault. We lost 11 valued lives, including a pregnant woman.” Amnesty International Nigeria commented, “The inaction of authorities has left people exposed to violence, resulting in devastating losses.” Nigeria is the seventh most dangerous country worldwide for Christians, according to the Open Doors' World Watch List. Trump demanding pro-life free speech in United Kingdom The U.S. State Department stated Sunday it is concerned about freedom of expression in the United Kingdom. The statement comes as Livia Tossici-Bolt, a pro-life advocate in England faces criminal charges for offering conversation outside an abortion mill.  The U.S. State Department said, “We are monitoring her case. It is important that the U.K. respect and protect freedom of expression.” The case may even threaten a free trade deal between the U.S. and the U.K.  A source in the Trump administration, familiar with the trade negotiations, told The Telegraph there should be “no free trade without free speech.” Appearing on Leading Britain's Conversation with Tom Swarbrick, Claire McCullough, founder of Good Counsel Network, and a friend of Livia Tossici-Bolt, declared that the British law which suppresses free speech outside abortion mills is a massive overreach. McCULLOUGH: “A leaflet saying, “Pregnant? Worried? Help if you want it' is not offending anyone actually, or ‘Here to talk, if you want,' as Livia's poster said. But I just don't see how that is distressing to anybody. Abortion itself is very distressing. I'll agree with you there. But I don't see how an offer of help is distressing. Especially when the people who are offering it are completely peace-keeping people who've never been in any way charged with anything prior to this law coming in.” Proverbs 17:15 says, “He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the just, both of them alike are an abomination to the LORD.” Trump vs. Planned Parenthood Politico reports the Trump administration notified nine Planned Parenthood state affiliates on Monday that their funding is being “temporarily withheld.” The letter said Planned Parenthood may be violating federal civil rights laws as well as President Donald Trump's executive orders, specifically his orders against diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is giving Planned Parenthood 10 days to prove it will comply with Trump's orders. The temporary hold affects nearly $30 million in federal funding. HHS to cut 10,000 jobs Last Thursday, the Department of Health and Human Services announced that it will cut about 10,000 full-time employees.  Department Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. said, “We aren't just reducing bureaucratic sprawl. We are realigning the organization with its core mission and our new priorities in reversing the chronic disease epidemic. This Department will do more – a lot more – at a lower cost to the taxpayer.” The plan will save taxpayers $1.8 billion as part of President Trump's efforts to make the government workforce more efficient. Mississippi on track to end state income tax Last Thursday, Mississippi Republican Governor Tate Reeves signed a bill into law that will end the state's income tax. REEVES: “Mississippi will no longer tax the work, the earnings, or the ambition of its people.” The “Build Up Mississippi Act” will cut the income tax rate to 3% by 2030. After that, annual decreases will eventually bring the rate to 0%. This puts the state on track to become the first to eliminate an existing income tax. Governor Reeves told Mississippians, “The work of your hands belongs to you. It is yours – to feed your family and invest in your home and your community. Because that's what this is ultimately about. Not just numbers on a balance sheet, but lives.” Consumer spending increased slightly The Federal Reserve's primary inflation measure rose last month. The core personal consumption expenditures price index increased by 0.4% in February compared to January. That put the 12-month inflation rate at 2.8% which was more than what economists expected. Consumer spending also increased last month, but was behind expectations.  Creator of Morse code gave glory to God And finally, today is the anniversary of the death of Samuel Morse. The American inventor died on April 2, 1872. Before his important inventions, Morse was known as a painter, even gaining admittance to the British Royal Academy of Art.  Later in life, he would make key contributions to the design and deployment of the telegraph system. He also co-developed the code that bears his name. The Morse code would become the primary language for telegraphy and is still used to this day.  Notably, Morse was a devout Christian who gave glory to God for his inventions. Psalm 115:1 says, “Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to Your name give glory, for the sake of Your steadfast love and Your faithfulness!” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, April 2nd, in the year of our Lord 2025. Subscribe for free through Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

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

The Electrical Telegraph was invented in 1837 by William Fothergill Cook (1806-1879) and Charles Wheatstone (1802-1875) in England with parallel innovations being made by Samuel Morse (1791-1872) in the United States. The telegraph, once wires and undersea cables had connected countries and continents, transformed communications so that messages could be sent and received anywhere in just minutes.

The planning commission recommended denial, citing concerns about the project's consistency with city plans and ordinances. City staff suggested a better design to enhance the transition area between neighborhoods and Highway 92. Residents expressed worries about traffic and the residential aspect in a commercial zone. The proposal aimed to increase density beyond the standard limit. The applicant may submit a revised application in the coming months. Commercial: INGLES 9 – RHINEHARDT BLUEGRASS STORY 6: Renovations Coming to Towne Lake Plaza Shopping Center The Woodstock City Council approved an application for variances to renovate the Towne Lake Plaza shopping center on Towne Lake Parkway. The renovations will include upgrades to the exterior facade, parking lot, and outdoor dining areas of the 28,000 square-foot multi-tenant center. The variances allow for adjustments to the city's Downtown District Standards. The goal is to create a cohesive and visually appealing gateway into downtown Woodstock along Towne Lake Parkway. The current building, constructed in the 1990s, houses various tenants, including nail spas, cigar bars, arcade, scuba center, and pet boutique. The renovations are expected to commence soon, according to Woodstock City Manager Jeff Moon. STORY 7: "This is a Magical Place": Canton Unveils New Harmon Park Hundreds gathered at Harmon Park in Canton to celebrate its reopening after renovations. The 100-year-old park now boasts a basketball court, mini-pitch soccer field, and upgraded baseball facilities. Mayor Bill Grant praised the project, highlighting its importance for the Sunnyside community. Councilmember Shawn Tolan emphasized the park's significance and the joy it brings to the community. Over 500 people attended the reopening, with activities for various age groups, including soccer clinics and games. Atlanta United players were present for autographs and interaction. The $4.6 million project was funded by Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax and impact fees, with additional grants contributing to enhancements like the synthetic turf soccer field. Overall, the park's revitalization aims to provide a vibrant recreational space for the Canton community. We'll have closing comments after this.    COMMERCIAL: JM HELLER   SIGN OFF –   Thanks again for listening to today's Cherokee Tribune Ledger podcast. .

Campus Crusade for Christ is going backwards. Staff requirements advising using “preferred pronouns” and referring to homosexuality as “a disordering of sexual desires” is not helping anybody. The lukewarm position has always been untenable. We explain here why Christians cannot live by lies, but the shame of it—is a depreciation of the power of the Gospel and a lapse of faith. Isn't it time for another crusade? And, when was the last time we sang “Onward Christian Soldiers?”  This program includes:  1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (Nicaragua convicted 11 pastors on false charges; Samuel Morse, inventor of Morse code, a devout Christian; Florida Supreme Court: 15-week abortion ban is constitutional)  2. Generations with Kevin Swanson

It's Wednesday, April 3rd, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Nicaragua convicted 11 pastors on false charges of money laundering Alliance Defending Freedom reports that Nicaraguan government officials have convicted 11 pastors and ministry leaders on sham charges of money laundering.  The Christians worked with the U.S.-based Mountain Gateway ministry. They now face 12 to 15 years in prison.  This comes after the ministry held evangelistic events that drew hundreds of thousands of people in the Central American country. ADF attorney Kristina Hjelkrem said, “No one is safe from religious persecution in Nicaragua, and it is devastating to see the … conviction of these pastors … who were simply sharing their faith.”  Nicaragua is ranked 30th on the Open Doors' World Watch List of nations where it is most difficult to be a Christian. Australian officials object to Christian schools' stand against sexual perversion The Australian Law Reform Commission released a report on faith-based schools last month. The report recommends that the Australian government should remove protections for faith-based schools from the Sex Discrimination Act. The act had allowed Christian schools to expel students or staff who identified with sexually perverted lifestyles. Religious organizations are calling on the country's Prime Minister to reject the recommendation. The Australian Christian Schools Alliance called the report a “direct attack on faith and freedom of belief in Australia.” Christian identification dropping in England and Wales Christian identification fell below 50% of the population in England and Wales for the first time on record in recent years.  Even atheists aren't happy as Islamic influences are rising in the once dominantly Christian area. During an interview on Resurrection Sunday, Richard Dawkins, a prominent British atheist, lamented the cultural demise of Christianity in Europe. DAWKINS: “It's true that statistically the number of people who actually believe in Christianity is going down. And I'm happy with that. But I would not be happy if, for example, we lost all our cathedrals and our beautiful parish churches. So, I count myself a cultural Christian. I think it would matter if we certainly if we substituted any alternative religion, [like Islam]. That would be truly dreadful.” 2 Timothy 3:2, 5, 7 warns, “For men will be lovers of themselves … having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! … [They are] always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.” Florida Supreme Court: 15-week abortion ban is constitutional In the United States, Florida's Supreme Court ruled that the state's 15-week abortion ban is constitutional.  The Monday ruling also upheld the Heartbeat Law that banned most abortions after six weeks of pregnancy. Mat Staver with Liberty Counsel said, “Today, the Florida Supreme Court rejected the dreadful history of abortion that began with an activist bench in 1989. . . . the wrongly decided abortion opinions are no more. The Constitution wins. Life wins.” However, the court also allowed a pro-abortion ballot measure to move forward. If passed, the referendum would make abortion a “right” in the state's constitution.  Walt Disney dropped lawsuit against Florida In other Florida news, the Walt Disney Company has dropped its lawsuit against the state over its Florida resort. Back in 2022, Disney opposed a Florida bill which sought to protect young children from sexually-related content in schools. In response, Republican Governor Ron DeSantis revoked Disney World's special district status and appointed a new oversight board for the resort. Disney pushed back but has now conceded. A DeSantis spokesman said, “No corporation should be its own government. Moving forward, we stand ready to work with Disney and the District to help promote economic growth, family-friendly tourism, and accountable government in Central Florida.” Traffic deaths down The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports traffic deaths fell for a second year in a row in 2023. U.S. traffic deaths dropped 3.6% last year. Still, almost 41,000 people died on the roads last year. The number of deaths in 2022 was just over 42,000. Traffic deaths are down even though driving is up. Americans drove 67.5 billion more miles last year compared to 2022. 152nd anniversary of Samuel Morse, inventor of Morse code And finally, this week is the anniversary of the death of Samuel Morse. The American inventor died on April 2, 1872. Before his important inventions, Morse was known as a painter, even gaining admittance to the British Royal Academy of Art.  Later in life, he would make key contributions to the design and deployment of the telegraph system. He also co-developed the code that bears his name. Morse code would become the primary language for telegraphy and is still used to this day.  Notably, Morse was a devout Christian who gave glory to God for his inventions. Psalm 115:1 says, “Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to Your name give glory, for the sake of Your steadfast love and Your faithfulness!"

This is episode 160 and we're breathing the spicy smells of the semi-desert, and taking in the exotic and wonderous scenary of the Richtersveld, Namaqualand, and the stunning area around south westn Free State in the 840s. Last episode we heard about the period 1840-1843 in the southern Caledon River valley, and how the Voortrekkers like Jan Mocke were flowing into land that Moshoeshoe of the BaSotho believed was his. That was setting up a classic situation where land was the core of the ension. A lot of what we're looking at today is centred on a town largely forgotten these days, Philippolis. If you drive along the N1 between Bloemfontein and Colesburg, turn off at Trompsburg and head south west along the R717 for around 45 kilometres. It's not far from the Orange River, and it's history is certainly chequered. It's also the home town of writer and intellectual Laurens van Der Post and former Springbok Rugby player Adriaan Strauss. On the 22nd October, 1842, the country beyond the Orange River to the north-east of the Cape Colony was proclaimed British Territory and the sphere of operations of the Cape British military garrison was considerably enlarged. The emigrant Boers based in this region reacted with anger, it was Adam Kok the second the Griqualand leader who had requested protection from the British because of the increased numbers of trekkers in his vicinity. Between 1826 when Kok arrived and the 1840, Kok had managed to get along with the Boers, but the Great Trek had changed everything. The London Missionary Society had founded Philippolis in 1823 as a mission station serving the local Griqua people, named after the man you heard about last episode, Dr John Philip, who was the superintendent of the Society from 1819 to 1849. Adam Kok II settled in Philippolis with his people in 1826 and became the protector of the mission station, on condition that he promised to protect the San against the aggression of the Boers. Kok was supposed to promote peace in the region, at least that was the brief from the London Missionary Society. Instead, carnage ensued as the Griqua used Philippolis as a base for a number of deadly commandos against the San people - virtually wiping them out in the area. Ironically, the Griqua worked with Boers to conduct their raids. This violated the agreement made between the London Missionary Society and Adam Kok II and eventually the San were driven out of the area. When the Voortrekkers began showing up nearby at Colesberg which was one of the main jumping off points of the Great Trek and tension grew between the trekkers and the Griqua. 1844 - like 2024 - was a leap year. And coming up was a momentous moment. In May 24 1844 the first electrical telegram was sent by Samuel Morse from the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. to the B&O Railroad "outer depot" in Baltimore, saying "What hath God wrought”. Considering that the telegram and later the radio led to television and then social media, perhaps we should all wonder What Hath God wrought. In June of 1844 the Young Men's Christian Association was formed, the YMCA, setting off a chain of events culminating in the song of the same name by the Village People. History is not all skop skiet and donder. Back on the dusty flatlands around Philippolis, Adam Kok and the Boers were blissfully unaware of the significance of all of these births and deaths across the Atlantic Ocean. Further south, in the Cape, the newly created road boards were hard at work as I mentioned, building new routes out of Cape Town, connecting the Colony to the most important port in the southern hemisphere. By this point, there were steamships operating between Cape Town and Port Elizabeth, which oftened called in at Mossel Bay. Other ships began flocking in huge numbers to a bunch of islands off Namaqualand .. the Great Guano Rush had started at the end of 1843 and really got going in 1844. It was discovered that vast deposits of guano on uninhabited island.

Hello Interactors,A Frankenstein announcement from Musk this week punctuated my recent fascination with the author of that popular novel, Mary Shelley. Her isolated lived experience in a time of intense technological discovery, social and geo-political unrest, AND a climate crisis rings true today more than ever.But she also was subtlety representing a scientific movement that is largely ignored today, but just may be experiencing a bit of a resurgence in areas like biology and neuroscience.Let's dig in…FRANKEN-MUSK“It was already one in the morning; the rain pattered dismally against the panes, and my candle was nearly burnt out, when, by the glimmer of the half-extinguished light, I saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open; it breathed hard, and a convulsive motion agitated its limbs.”Mary Shelley was intrigued, and maybe a little scared, by the idea of electrifying organs. She admits as much in her 1831 forward of her famous novel, “Frankenstein”, first published January 1, 1818. She wrote,"Perhaps a corpse would be re-animated; galvanism had given token of such things: perhaps the component parts of a creature might be manufactured, brought together, and endued with vital warmth."Bioelectrical experimentation had been happening for nearly 40 years by the time Shelley wrote this book. Luigi Galvani, an Italian physician, physicist, and philosopher demonstrated the existence of electricity in living tissue in the late 1780s. He called it ‘animal electricity'. Many repeated his experiments over the years and ‘galvanism' remained hotly debated well into the 1800s.I've been thinking a lot about Shelley and her “Frankenstein” lately. The hype and hysteria surrounding AI, human-like robots, and biocomputing make it easy to imagine. Just last week Elon Musk tweeted that his company, Neuralink, implanted its brain chip in a human for the first time. He wants to make ‘The Matrix' a reality. Here we are some 200 years later, wanting to believe ‘perhaps the component parts of a creature might be manufactured, brought together, and endued with vital warmth.'‘Vital warmth' seems a borrowed phrase from another scientific movement of the time, ‘vitalism'. Vitalism is the belief that living organisms are fundamentally different from non-living entities, like computer chips, because they are governed by a unique, non-physical force or "vital spark" that animates life. A kind of teleology for which some contemporary biologists now have empirical evidence.One prominent vitalist of the 18th and 19th century, the German physician, physiologist, and anthropologist, Johann Friedrich Blumenbach, is best known for his contributions to the study of human biology. He developed the concept of the "Bildungstrieb" or "formative drive," which he proposed as an inherent force guiding the growth and development of organisms. Contemporary science explains these processes through a combination of genetic, biochemical, and physical principles like encoded DNA, gene expression networks, and morphogenesis — the interactions between cells and their responses to various chemical and mechanical forces.THE INDUSTRIALIST'S VITAL SPARK‘Formative drive' was a vitalist response to the mechanistic explanations of life that were prevalent in the Enlightenment period. The same mechanistic fervor that endues so many technologists today, like Musk, with vital warmth. Blumenbach argued that physical and chemical processes alone could not account for the organization and complexity of living beings. Instead, he suggested that some other vital force was responsible for the development and function of organic forms.Vitalists had their skeptics. Chiefly among them was Alessandro Volta. He was critical of Galvani's ‘vital spark'. In Galvani's frog leg experiments, he discovered that when two different metals (e.g., copper and zinc) were connected and then touched to a frog's nerve and muscle, the muscle would contract even without any external electrical source. Galvani concluded that this was due to an electrical force inherent in the nerves of the frog, a concept that challenged the prevailing views of the time and eventually laid the groundwork for the field of electrophysiology.Volta, however, believed the electrical effects were due to the metals used in Galvani's experiments. Volta's work eventually led to the development of the Voltaic Pile, an early form of a battery. Hence the term ‘volt'. The Voltaic Pile enabled a more systematic and controlled study of electricity, which was a relatively little-understood phenomenon at the time. It provided scientists and inventors with a consistent and reliable source of electrical energy for experiments, leading to a deeper understanding of electrical principles and the discovery of new technologies.One such technology was the invention of the telegraph in the 1830s. The availability of electric batteries as power sources is what made it possible for Samuel Morse to revolutionize long-distance communication, profoundly effecting commerce, governance, and daily life. As he wrote in his first public demonstration, “What hath God wrought?”The mechanists gained further favor as more and more scientists, inventors, and eventually economists succumbed to the allure of reductionism. They believed understanding complex phenomena could be done by studying their simplest, most fundamental, and mechanistic parts. Including body parts.ECHOES OF THE INDUSTRIAL AGEIt was around the time of Morse's tinkering that Mary Shelley reissued ‘Frankenstein'. She revealed in her 1831 forward how she was influenced by the scientific and philosophical ideas of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. This included galvanism, the debates around vitalism, and the Romantic movement's reaction to the Enlightenment's emphasis on reason and science.This was also a period marked by significant political, social, and technological upheavals. The consolidation of nation-states and the expansion of political power were central themes of this era, leading to debates over government intervention and the balance between order and liberty. Shelley's narrative, set against this backdrop, can be seen as a reflection on the consequences of unchecked ambition and the ethical responsibilities of creators, themes that are increasingly relevant in today's discussions about artificial intelligence, genetic engineering, and other forms of technological innovation.Moreover, Shelley's personal history and the socio-political context of her time deeply informed the themes of her novel. As the daughter of Mary Wollstonecraft, a pioneering feminist thinker, Shelley was exposed from an early age to, what were then, radical ideas about gender, society, and individual rights. Her own experiences of loss, isolation, and vulnerability were compounded by the societal upheavals of the Little Ice Age and the dawn of the Industrial Revolution. "Frankenstein" is imbued with a profound sense of existential questioning. It critiques the dehumanizing aspects of technological and industrial progress — themes that resonate with many today.Like the early parts of the Industrial Revolution, we are living in a period of transforming economies, social structures, and daily life, ushering in new forms of labor, consumption, and environmental impact. The creation of Shelley's ‘Creature' can be seen as a metaphor for the unforeseen consequences of industrialization, including the alienation of individuals from their labor, from nature, and from each other.Shelley's narrative warns of the dangers of valuing power and progress over empathy and ethical consideration, a warning that remains pertinent as society grapples with the implications of rapid technological advancement and environmental degradation. Mechanistic reductionism, with its emphasis on dissecting complex phenomena into their most basic parts, undeniably continues to dominate much of science, technology, and conventional thought.Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein," while serving as a cautionary tale about the hubris and potential perils of unchecked scientific and technological ambition, has paradoxically also fueled the collective imagination, inspiring generations to dream of creating a human-like entity from disparate parts and mechanisms.Yet, there is an emerging renaissance that harks back to the holistic perspectives reminiscent of early vitalism. As scientists increasingly traverse interdisciplinary boundaries, embracing the principles of holism and complexity science, they are uncovering new patterns, principles, and laws that echo the intuitions of early vitalists.The groundbreaking research of Michael Levin at Tufts University, with its focus on bioelectric patterns and their role in development and regeneration, offers a compelling empirical bridge to Blumenbach's ‘formative drive'. While Levin's work eschews the metaphysical aspects of a "life force," it uncovers the intricate bioelectric networks that guide the form and function of organisms, echoing vitalism's fascination with the organizing principles of life.This shift acknowledges that life's essence may not be fully captured by reductionist views alone. Levin shows how it's not the mechanisms of DNA that unlock the mysteries of biological organization but the communication between cells and their environment. It points towards a more integrated understanding of the natural world that respects the intricate interplay of its myriad components.Shelley's pondering remains relevant today, “perhaps the component parts of a creature might be manufactured, brought together, and endued with vital warmth." Either way, "Frankenstein" continues to remind us of the need for humility and ethical consideration. After all, as we navigate the complex frontier between mechanistic ambition and our fragile, emergent, and interconnected life neurobiology tells us our own neural connections are being reshaped by both environmental interactions and cognitive activity, reflecting principles of embedded cognition those early vitalists would surely endorse.

On November 8, 2023, award-winning author Edward Ayers delivered a lecture about his book, "American Visions: The United States, 1800–1860." The early decades of the nineteenth century saw the expansion of slavery, Native dispossession, and wars with Canada and Mexico. Mass immigration and powerful religious movements sent tremors through American society. But even as the powerful defended the status quo, others defied it: voices from the margins moved the center; eccentric visions altered the accepted wisdom, and acts of empathy questioned self-interest. Edward L. Ayers's rich history examines the visions that moved Frederick Douglass, Margaret Fuller, the Native American activist William Apess, and others to challenge entrenched practices and beliefs. Lydia Maria Child condemned the racism of her fellow northerners at great personal cost. Melville and Thoreau, Joseph Smith and Samuel Morse all charted new paths for America in the realms of art, nature, belief, and technology. Ayers turns his distinctive historical sensibility to a period when bold visionaries and critics built vigorous traditions of dissent and innovation into the foundation of the nation. Those traditions remain alive for us today. Edward Ayers is university professor of the humanities and president emeritus at the University of Richmond. He has received the Bancroft and Lincoln Prizes for his scholarship, been named National Professor of the Year, received the National Humanities Medal from President Obama at the White House, served as president of the Organization of American Historians, and was the founding board chair of the American Civil War Museum in Richmond. He is executive director of New American History and Bunk, dedicated to making the nation's history more visible and useful for a broad range of audiences. This lecture was co-hosted by American Civil War Museum, Black HIstory Museum & Cultural Center of Virginia, and The Valentine.

Grandpa Bill today continues in our Mnemonic series, featuring Mr .Magoo , as Ebenezer Scrooge. Scrooge, now a modern day 21st Century man investigates above ground cable lines vs above ground telephone poles-and more. "Underground vs Above Ground Cables: Decoding the Future with Mr. Magoo's Heart-Brain Coherence" #Magoo21stCentury,#HeartofAScrooge,#HeartBrainCoherence,#UndergroundCables,#MorseCodeLegacy,#FutureOfTelecommunications, Mr. Scrooge, it's an honor to have you on our podcast today. We're here to discuss the future of telecommunications, and I understand you have some insights from your recent encounters with the Ghost of Christmas Future. Indeed, I do. The Ghost showed me a world where our current reliance on above-ground telephone poles has become obsolete. In its place, a vast network of underground cables carries the lifeblood of modern communication – data, voice, and video – with unprecedented speed, reliability, and resilience. That's quite a vision, Mr. Scrooge. But isn't the cost of underground cables a major concern? It's true that underground cables require a significant upfront investment. However, when you consider the long-term benefits, the cost becomes far more justifiable. Underground cables are far less susceptible to damage from storms, vandalism, and accidents, leading to reduced maintenance costs and downtime. They also provide enhanced security and protection from interference, ensuring the integrity of our communications infrastructure. But what about the environmental impact.Underground cables offer a significant environmental advantage over above-ground poles. They eliminate the need for vast tracts of land to be cleared and maintained, preserving natural habitats and reducing deforestation. Additionally, underground cables minimize visual clutter, preserving the aesthetic beauty of our landscapes. Mr. Scrooge, I understand you've also had a conversation with the spirit of Samuel Morse, the inventor of the telegraph. What did he have to say about the future of telecommunications? Mr. Morse was a visionary who understood the transformative power of communication. He spoke to me about his own astonishment when he first transmitted a message using the telegraph, exclaiming, "What hath God wrought?" Today, we stand at a similar crossroads, with the potential to revolutionize communication once again. So, Mr. Scrooge, what is your ultimate message to our listeners? My message is simple: embrace the future. Underground cables represent a leap forward in telecommunications infrastructure, offering a more sustainable, reliable, and secure foundation for our connected world. Let us honor the legacy of Samuel Morse and seize the opportunity to build a future where communication knows no bounds. Thank you, Mr. Scrooge, for your insightful perspective. I'm sure our listeners will find your message both inspiring and thought-provoking. [Ghost of Christmas Future appears] Mr. Scrooge, your heart has truly transformed. You have embraced compassion and understanding, and your insights will guide us towards a brighter future. Thank you, Ghost. I am forever grateful for the lessons you have taught me. Mr. Scrooge's encounter with the Ghost of Christmas Future and the spirit of Samuel Morse has opened his eyes to the transformative power of underground cables. Their resilience, security, and environmental benefits make them the clear choice for the future of telecommunications. As we move towards a more connected world, let us heed Mr. Scrooge's advice and embrace the future of underground cables, ensuring a brighter and more interconnected world for generations to come.

Pocos inventos cambiaron tanto el mundo como el del telégrafo, que hizo su aparición en su modalidad óptica a finales del siglo XVIII. Hasta ese momento para enviar mensajes a larga distancia había que hacerlo personalmente desplazándose. Eso ralentizaba mucho la comunicación y entrañaba infinidad de riesgos. Los mensajes a menudo se perdían por el camino o eran interceptados. Con eso en mente, en la segunda mitad del siglo XVIII varios inventores europeos se plantearon construir un sistema de atalayas que mantuviesen entre ellas contacto visual para así, mediante un código determinado previamente, pudiesen transmitirse mensajes en distancias muy largas. Este de las atalayas fue el primer sistema de comunicación discrecional a distancia y se le conoce como telégrafo óptico. Los franceses fueron los primeros en ponerlo en marcha en pleno periodo revolucionario, en 1793. Fue la guerra lo que empujó su aparición y su difusión ya que según empezó a funcionar otras potencias lo adoptaron sin dudarlo. La nueva república tenía a todos los monarcas de Europa en contra por lo que necesitaba un medio de comunicación rápido, fiable y seguro con los distintos frentes en los que combatían. El sistema de torres equipadas con señales móviles funcionó muy bien y en los años siguientes el telégrafo francés se extendió por todo el continente. El sistema óptico fue un gran avance, pero tenía algunos inconvenientes importantes. Por la noche no se podía utilizar, tampoco cuando había niebla o mal tiempo. Por esa razón y aprovechando los nuevos descubrimientos que se habían hecho en el campo de la electricidad, un científico británico llamado Francis Ronalds inventó en 1816 un nuevo tipo de telégrafo que se valía de un generador electrostático. Ofreció su invento al almirantazgo, pero no le vieron utilidad ya que el telégrafo óptico que habían instalado entre Londres y Portsmouth les valía para enviar órdenes a la flota. El invento de Ronalds prometía, pero aún no había llegado su momento. Lo haría dos décadas después cuando, también en Inglaterra, empezaron a tenderse las primeras líneas ferroviarias. De este modo un invento y otro se apoyaron mutuamente. El ferrocarril era veloz y necesitaba una transmisión de señales que también lo fuese. En 1837 entró en funcionamiento el primer telégrafo comercial entre Londres y Birmingham. Era obra de dos inventores británicos llamados William Cooke y Charles Wheatstone. Estaba formado por cinco cables y su uso entrañaba cierta complejidad. Al otro lado del Atlántico, en Estados Unidos, Samuel Morse se propuso mejorarlo reduciendo todo el sistema a un simple cable con dos estaciones en los extremos y lo consiguió. En 1844 las ciudades de Baltimore y Washington quedaron unidas por una línea telegráfica de un solo cable por el que discurría la señal en código creado por el propio Morse y que adoptó su nombre. El código Morse codificaba el alfabeto latino en pulsos eléctricos largos y cortos. A diferencia del de Cooke y Wheatstone, era sencillo de aprender y podía aplicarse en otras aplicaciones como las señales marítimas o mediante lámparas. Años después se convirtió en el código internacional. El telégrafo eléctrico se extendió por todo el planeta en la segunda mitad del siglo XIX pulverizando las distancias. Creció con la red ferroviaria, pero no se quedó ahí. Los ingenieros querían más, en 1866 se tendió la primera línea telegráfica que cruzaba el Atlántico y unos años más tarde Australia quedó unida al resto del mundo mediante un cable telegráfico. Imperios como el británico no hubieran sido posibles sin la expansión del telégrafo que terminó muriendo de éxito ya que inventos como el teléfono o la radio se inspiraron en él y terminaron tomándole el relevo.

It's been a harrowing few months in southern Africa back in 1838. All manner of change has rolled in across the veld, there are worlds colliding, roiling, like thunderclouds, seething and churning. And almost allegorical, because lightning from real storms had already killed Boer horses and Zulu warriors in separate incidents as they fought each other. When the settlers in the Cape heard about Piet Retief's fate followed shortly afterwards by news of the massacres of hundreds of Voortrekkers along the Bloukrans, Bushmans Rivers, many nodded knowingly. The stories of the AmaZulu military prowess had circulated for decades, Shaka first, then Dingana. Many of the Cape citizens had feared for the Voortrekkers, and now their fate seemed to be sealed. The Capenaars said the Voortrekkers had been warned but thought of themselves as immune, protected by God, deterministically predisposed to rule supreme over their fellow black man. Weenen had sent shock waves of existentialism through the Voortrekker consciousness. An immense year, this, 1838 —. Queen Victoria of Britain was crowned at Westminster Abbey in London - and Dingana had referred to the new Queen in his comments to the missionaries before he killed Retief. Alfred Vail and Samuel Morse made the first successful demonstration of the electric telegraph in front of the world - and Morse code was launched which is still in use today. It's April 1838 and in United Kingdom, the principle of the People's Charter was drawn up, a charter which called for universal suffrage, for the right of women to vote. It would be a century before that happened of course. Meanwhile, as these technical and social innovations were being cooked up, at Doornkop and Modderlaager, below the brooding Drakensberg, the Voortrekkers were aching for revenge. By now Andries Potgieter had arrived with his posse, joining Piet Uys and his smaller group, and they had contacted the English traders in Durban with a view to conduct a co-ordinated attack on Dingane along two fronts. Ultimately it was decided that the Boers should move out on April 5th and 347 men were to ride in two divisions, with division a symbolic description of this force. They were quite divided and were not going to act in concert in the coming commando which was eventually nicknamed "Die Vlugkommando" for all the wrong reasons.

Foundations of Amateur Radio The first official telegram to pass between two continents was a letter of congratulations from Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom to President of the United States James Buchanan on 16 August 1858. The text is captured in the collection of the US Library of Congress. It's a low resolution image of a photo of a wood engraving. Based on me counting the characters, the text from the Queen to the President is about 650 characters. IEEE reports it as 98 words, where my count gives 103 words or 95 words, depending on how you count the address. Due to a misunderstanding between the operators at either end of the 3,200 km long cable, the message took 16 hours to transmit and 67 minutes to repeat back. If you use the shortest duration, the effective speed is just over one and a half Words Per Minute or WPM. That's not fast in comparison with speeds we use today. Until 2003, the ITU expected that emergency and meteorological messages should not exceed 16 WPM, that a second class operator could achieve 20 WPM and a first class operator could achieve 25 WPM. To put the message speed in context of the era, in 1856, RMS Persia, an iron paddle wheel steamship and at the time, the largest ship in the world, won the so-called "Blue Riband" for the fastest westbound transatlantic voyage between Liverpool and Sandy Hook. The journey took nine days, 16 hours and 16 minutes. Similarly, it wasn't until 1861 that a transcontinental telegraph was established across the United States. In 1841 it took 110 days for the news of the death in office of President William Henry Harrison to reach Los Angeles. Today that distance is covered by a 39 hour drive, a 5 hour flight, and about 12 milliseconds on HF radio. So, while the speed of the message might not be anything to write home about today, at the time it was world changing. Speed in Morse code is measured in a specific way. Based on International Morse code, which is what I'm using throughout this discussion, if you send the word "PARIS" a dozen times in a minute and the next time starts right on the next minute, you officially sent Morse at 12 WPM. Looking inside the message of the word "PARIS", it's made up of a collection of dits and dahs. If a dit is one unit of time, then the letter "a", represented by dit-dah, is six units long when you include the spacing. In total, the word "PARIS", including the space after it, is exactly 50 units long. When you send at 12 WPM, you're effectively sending 600 dit units per minute, or ten units or bits per second, each lasting a tenth of a second. Unfortunately, there is not a one-to-one relationship between Morse speed and ASCII, the American Standard Code for Information Interchange, for a number of reasons. Firstly, Morse is made from symbols with varying lengths, where ASCII, the encoding that we really want to compare speeds with, has symbols with a fixed length. You cannot simply count symbols in both and compare their speeds, since communication speed is about what you send, how fast you send it, and how readable it is at the other end. Thanks to Aiden, AD8GM, who, inspired by my initial investigation, shared the idea and python code to encode Morse dits, dahs and spacing using a one for a dit, one-one-one for a dah, and zeros for spacing. This means that the letter "e" can be represented by "10" and the letter "t" by "1110". You can do this for the standard Morse word "PARIS" and end up with a combination of 50 zeros and ones, or exactly 50 bits. I've been extending the code that Aiden wrote to include other encoding systems. When I have something to show it will be on my GitHub page. However, using Aiden's idea, we gain the ability to directly compare sending Morse bits with ASCII bits, since they share the same zero and one encoding. If you use standard binary encoded ASCII, each letter takes up eight bits and the six characters for the word "PARIS", including the space, will take up 48 bits. Given that I just told you that the Morse version of the same message takes up 50 bits, you could now smile and say, see, ASCII is faster - wait, what? Yes, if you send the word "PARIS " using 8-bit binary coded ASCII it's two bits shorter than if you use Morse. Job done, roll the press, headline reads: "Morse is four percent slower than binary coded ASCII". Not so fast grasshopper. If you recall, American Morse code, the one that has Samuel Morse's name written all over it, was replaced by a different code, made by Friedrich Gerke which in turn was modified to become what we now know as International Morse code. Ask yourself, why did Gerke change the code? It turns out that one of the biggest issues with getting a message across an undersea cable was decoding the message at the other end. Let me give you an example, using American Morse, consider the encoding of "e", dit, and "o", dit-extra-space-dit and now try sending the word "seed" across a noisy line. Did you convey "seed", or was it "sod". In other words, there is room for ambiguity in the message and when you're talking about commerce, that's never a good basis for coming to a mutually binding agreement. It turns out that encoding needs to be more subtle than just creating a sequence of bits. Something else to consider, 10 bits per second is another way of saying 10 Hz, as-in, this is not just switching, we're dealing with frequencies and because we're not sending lovely sinusoidal waves, from a signal processing perspective, a very horrible square wave, we're also dealing with harmonics, lots of harmonics, and more of them as we speed things up. So, if you send binary coded ASCII and compare it to Morse code, will your message actually arrive? I'm Onno VK6FLAB

Foundations of Amateur Radio Morse code is a way for people to send information across long distances. The code we use today, made from dit and dah elements is nothing like the code demonstrated and attributed to Samuel Morse in 1837. Over years and with assistance from Professor of Chemistry Leonard Gail and Physicist Joseph Henry, then Professor of Literature, Samuel Morse, and mechanically minded Alfred Vail developed an electrical telegraph system that automatically moved a paper tape and used an electromagnet to pull a stylus into the paper and a spring to retract it, marking the paper with lines. The original system was only intended to transmit numbers, and combined with a dictionary, the operator could decode the message. The telegraph was able to send zig-zag and straight lines, transmitting the message "Successful experiment with telegraph September 4 1837". The system was enhanced to include letters, making it much more versatile. On the 6th of January 1838, across 4.8 km of wire, strung across a barn, the new design with letters and numbers was demonstrated. To optimise the enhanced version of the code, Alfred Vail went to his local newspaper in Morristown, New Jersey, to count the movable type he found in the compositor's type-cases, and assigned shorter sequences to the most common letters. You might think that this explains the distribution of the codes we see today, but you'd be wrong. The 1838 system used four different element lengths and varied the spacing inside a character. For example, the letter "o" was signified by two dits with a two unit space between them, where today it's represented by three dahs. The letter "p" was signified by five dits, today this represents the number "5", and the code didn't distinguish between "i" and "y", between "g" and "j", and between "s" and "z". A decade later and an ocean away in Germany, writer, journalist, and musician Friedrich Gerke created the Hamburg alphabet, based on the work by Vail and Morse, it standardised the length of the elements and spacing into what we use today, the dit and the dah. He changed about half of the characters and also incorporated four special German characters, the umlaut version of A, O and U and the CH sound - pronounced like the sound for the composer "Bach" or the Dutch name "Benschop" - not to be confused with the CH in child, or the CK in clock, or the SH sound in shop. It was different in other ways. For example, the letter "i" and "j" had the same code. The code was optimised to be more robust across undersea telegraph cables. I'll be coming back to that before we're done exploring, but not today. If you want to skip ahead, the term you're looking for is dispersion. Gerke's code was adopted in 1851 across Germany and Austria and it is known as Continental Morse code. By the time most of Gerke's code was adopted as the European Standard in 1865 as one of many agreements that mark the founding of the International Telegraph Union in Paris, only four sequences of the original 1838 code remained and only two of those, "e" and "h" were identical. Which means that although the idea that Morse code is based around English is often repeated, at this stage it's nothing more than a myth, which my previous word list and subsequent dictionary letter counts across over fifty languages confirm. I'll mention that given Gerke's German heritage, I also made a letter count from a modern German dictionary and one from 1901 and found that the letter distribution in those two are very similar with only the letter "s" and "t" swapped between position four and five in the popularity contest stakes. The German letter Top-5 is "enrts" and the "o" is the 16th most popular letter. Speaking of "o", one observation to make is that the new International Morse code contained the letter "o" as dah-dah-dah, it also contained the letter "p" as dit-dah-dah-dit. These two codes come from an 1849 telegraph code designed by physicist, inventor, engineer and astronomer Carl August von Steinheil. There is evidence suggesting that he invented a print telegraph and matching dot script in 1836, based around positive and negative pulses, rather than pulse duration. I'm purposely skipping over earlier telegraph systems built and used by Carl Friedrich Gauss, Wilhelm Edward Weber, and Steinheil, only because we're talking about Morse code, not the telegraph. The 1865 ITU standard for International Morse code includes several accented letters, symbols for semi-colon, exclamation mark, chevrons and several control codes and both normal and short forms for numbers which merge all the dahs in any digit into a single dah. Many of these codes are not part of the official standard today. I'll point out that over time, experienced telegraph operators learnt to decode dits and dahs based on sound alone, negating the need for paper. This translates directly into how we experience Morse in our hobby today, by tone only. There is a much more detailed explanation on how the telegraph evolved in a book by Russel W. Burns called: "Communications: An International History of the Formative Years". Fair warning, there are many claims and counterclaims, including the possibility that someone else entirely, Harrison Gray Dyar, a Chemist, invented an electrochemical telegraph, using chemically treated paper to make marks, dits and dahs, and demonstrated it between 1826 and 1828 near a race track on Long Island. I'm mentioning this because Samuel Morse is often attributed as the source of all things telegraphy, but the reality appears to be much more nuanced and, unsurprisingly, there are conflicting accounts depending on the source, including acceptance and repudiation that Alfred Vail was the inventor of what we now call Morse code.

It's Monday, April 3rd, A.D. 2023. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. By Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) Imprisoned Cuban religious leader denied medical leave A leader of the Association of Free Yorubas, an independent Santeria-type religious group in Cuba which combines Catholicism, the West African Yoruba religion, and a polytheistic belief in Spiritism, has been denied permission to receive medical treatment outside the maximum-security prison where he is being held, reports Christian Solidarity Worldwide. Loreto García was detained on July 16, 2021 as part of a government crackdown on protestors who participated in spontaneous and peaceful demonstrations across the island on July 11, 2021. He is serving a seven-year sentence in Guamajal Prison on charges of disrespect and public disorder. Family members of García said he has diabetes and hypertension, and symptoms of pancreatic cancer. After submitting a request for temporary medical leave on October 26, 2022, Cuban authorities denied it on March 19, 2023. Worldview listener reacts to Trump's indictment In reaction to The Worldview's coverage of the indictment of former President Donald Trump, Gian Ryan of Centerville, Tennessee, a homeschool mother of nine, wrote me at Adam@TheWorldview.com. She said, “If the allegations of fraud to cover up adultery are true, it is a great mercy to Mr. Trump that they are brought to light, that perhaps he would be convicted to repent. If Trump has committed these sins, it is right for him to have the law deal with them. “God placed rulers to punish evildoers. [1 Peter 2:13-14] It seems they are doing their job. (It is a separate issue that authorities may be doing their job with partiality. God will, without a doubt, deal with them in due time.)” Mrs. Ryan said, “I believe that Mr. Trump calls himself a Christian. If any of the allegations are true, may God bring Mr. Trump to his knees, saying, ‘God have mercy on me, a sinner! I have committed adultery and fraud! Handcuffs, a mugshot, and prison time would be only the tiniest tokens of proper punishment for me when I deserve an eternity in Hell. Thank you Jesus for the blood that covers all my sins.' “If Mr. Trump is a Christian and these allegations are false, may his grief be that Christ's name was harmed rather than his campaign harmed.” Exodus 20:14 says, “You shall not commit adultery.” House Speaker Kevin McCarthy weighs in on Trump indictment Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy tweeted, “Alvin Bragg has irreparably damaged our country in an attempt to interfere in our Presidential election. As he routinely frees violent criminals to terrorize the public, he weaponized our sacred system of justice against President Donald Trump. “The American people will not tolerate this injustice, and the House of Representatives will hold Alvin Bragg and his unprecedented abuse of power to account.” Abby Johnson wants to lead abortion workers out of industry Prominent pro-life activist Abby Johnson, the former director of Planned Parenthood in College Station, Texas, is praying for an “exodus” of abortion workers who will abandon their jobs and change their lives. Johnson's organization And Then There Were None, a group dedicated to helping ex-abortion clinic workers rebuild their lives, will launch Exodus 2023 today. She told CBN's Faithwire, “Abortion workers are often overlooked in the national debate on abortion, yet they suffer immensely because of their job and what it entails.” ESPN blasted for promoting male during Women's History Month As ESPN celebrated Women's History Month, they featured William Thomas, a biological male, pretending to be a woman, and calling himself “Lia.” ESPN REPORTER: “In 2022, swimmer ‘Lia' Thomas became the first transgender athlete to win an NCAA division one championship by winning the 500 Freestyle. The Texas native competed for three seasons on the men's swim team at the University of Pennsylvania. She began her transition after her sophomore season, and made her debut as a member of the Women's team in December 2021.” THOMAS: “Being trans is not a choice. I didn't have any other choice because not transitioning was not leading anywhere.” ESPN REPORTER: “She competed amidst criticism from the swimming community, competitors, and teammates. She said she called her persistence serves a larger purpose.” THOMAS: “People will say, ‘Oh, she just transitioned so she would have an advantage, so she could win. I transitioned to be happy.” Riley Gaines, a 12-time All-American swimmer who competed at Kentucky, was livid with ESPN. She tweeted, “Lia Thomas is not a brave, courageous woman who EARNED a national title. He is an arrogant cheat who STOLE a national title from a hardworking, deserving woman. The NCAA is responsible. If I was a woman working at ESPN, I would walk out. You're spineless.” Genesis 1:27 says, “So God created mankind in His own image, in the image of God He created them; male and female He created them.” Anniversary of Morse Code developer's death And finally, ever wonder how Morse code got its name? It was named after the developer, Samuel Morse, who was born in 1791 and died on April 2, 1872.  That's 151 years ago yesterday. While returning by ship from Europe in 1832, Morse encountered Charles Jackson of Boston, a man who was well schooled in electromagnetism. Witnessing various experiments with Jackson's electromagnet, Morse developed the concept of a single-wire telegraph and was a co-developer of Morse code. On May 24, 1844, Morse sent the first telegraph message from the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. to his assistant, Alfred Vail, in Baltimore, Maryland. It was a question:  "What hath God wrought?" Born in Charlestown, Massachusetts, the first child of Calvinist pastor Jedidiah Morse (1761–1826), Samuel Morse also became an accomplished painter.  When he was 20, his father arranged for a three-year painting study under the tutelage of Benjamin West in England beginning in 1811. Morse's first wife, Lucretia, died in 1825 of a heart attack shortly after the birth of their third child. Twenty-three years later he married his second wife, Sarah, with whom he had four more children.

Dorothy Catherine Draper is a truly forgotten figure in American history. She was the first woman to ever sit for a photograph — a daguerrotype, in the year 1840, upon the rooftop of the school which would become New York University.Catherine was the older sister of professor John William Draper, later the founder of the university's school of medicine. The Drapers worked alongside Samuel Morse in the period following his invention of the telegraph.The experiments of Draper and Morse, with Catherine as assistant, would set the stage for the entire history of American photography.The legendary portrait was taken when Miss Draper was a young woman but a renewed interest in the image in the 1890s brought the now elderly matron a bit of late-in-life recognition.To see the photograph of Draper and other early photography, visit our website. This episode originally appeared on Greg's podcast called The First which had a respectable run a few years ago.
