i got to thinking of benjamin franklin 's comments. in his 80s, he was very ill, he was going to stand up and give a speech but he could not stand up, he handed it to his friend and another delegate from pennsylvania james wilson who read it this is what benjamin fr franklin said, i confess that i do not entirely approve of this constitution of present, sir, i am note sure i shall never approve it for having lived long i have experienced many instances of being obliged to change opinions even on important subjects, i once thought right, but found to be otherwise. is it is therefore the older i grow the more apt i am to doubt my own judgment -- >> if well administered -- mark: he goes on: i think it will astonish our enemies who are waiting with confidence to hear our councils are confounded like those of the builders of bab old, our states on the point of separation, only to meet hereafter for purpose of cutting one another's throats. i consents to this constitution because i expect no better. and because i am not sure that it is not t

soledad: it's the most ambitious jolt in lightning protection since benjamin franklin's invention. after nearly three centuries, scientists are using laser technology to improve on franklins famous lightning rod. his design was a simple iron rod attached to the top of a building and connected to the ground with a wire. when struck by lightning, it safely conducts the electrical charge into the ground. but it could only protect a small area. now, researchers in switzerland are sharing the test results of the laser lightning rod---or the llr. soledad: how exactly does it work? it's a machine about the size of a mini-van that shoots out 1000 beams of light in just one second. that's powerful enough to ionize the air, making it a conductor that electricity follows. in 2021, the group aimed their invention into the clouds above a mountain top communications tower during a week of stormy weather. the machine was able to redirect bolts of lightning to the tower's lightning rod -- four times. one strike followed the laser's path for nearly 200 feet. that gives researchers hope their inventi

now, this is not you may think the original that would have been signed by benjamin franklin and jefferson and john adams and all of those gentlemen back in 1776. you can find that at the national archives in washington. but this declaration of independence is still a really interesting one to see if i can hand over here. this is the we call the stone engraving and we call it that not because it's honestly stone, but because a fellow named william j. stone back in eight, in the early 1820s, was commissioned by the federal government to produce a copy of the declaration of independence. the document. a lot of the things that are on paper in ink and parchment, they can kind of fade over time. they can be difficult to read. and during the administration, they want it to be mindful to preserve the declaration not just its message, but even how it appeared for us for future generations. so that actually a really interesting, complicated process. i love to get into that for you folks. so when we get a little more time to dive into the history of some of these documents, but this a great look bec

he goes on to note that he's pretty sure that benjamin franklin would be on board with this idea and he's imagining how these specimens could add to the collections of natural history that he's assembling in the museum. on the one hand, the strange and radical proposal to taxidermy benjamin franklin and allows us to see the anxieties of the early republic. especially this moment where there is a lot of fear of political instability. the luminaries, that most visible figures of the nation's founders, were no longer alive and in full view of american citizens. it also allows us to see how peel, and his contemporaries, were imagining the world of museums and cultural institutions and what they could play in the social and intellectual life of the nation. what should they collect, preserve and display? how might material objects be part of a process of constructing knowledge about history, science and culture? and who will participate in determining what we choose to hold in our site and value. these kinds of questions were really central to the early history of american museums. as i ex

his words echoed what benjamin franklin said, we could pass all the rules we, if want, if we in this body, majority of the republicans don't do the right thing, the rules don't matter. i said, this man is on to something, all talk about rules. following thttere rules. if we don't have virtuous members of the house, the rules down matter. i got to thinking, of y franklin's comments onin f september 17, 1787, last day of the constitutional convention, he wrote at speech, this is what he said. i confess that i do not i approve of this constitution of present. buprovt i am not sure i shall neff nevada approve it -- never approved it, for having lived long i have experienced many instances.e to chane opinions even on important subjects.i i once thought right. but found to be otherwise. it is there that older iow ggrow the more apt i am to doubt my judgment and may more respect to judgment of others >> i doubt too whether any other convention we on obtain may be able to make a ba bit better constitution, you assemble a number of men to have advantage of their joint wisdom, you assemble wit

international day of children's inventions, it was timed to coincide with the date of birth of benjamin franklinlightning rod of bifocal glasses and much more, his first invention of wooden flippers. he came up with 12 years of development of modern teenagers are more high-tech, what was anton the crowd convinced of? there was no inventor or scientists in the family of tamerlan nagoev, an eleventh-grader from baksan. but there was a grandfather, a shepherd, who so often lacked electricity in the mountains. i became interested in the problem of energy supply to consumers in mountainous areas. where to lay the power line. e, a rather difficult task, and therefore, together with the manager , we carried out a thorough analysis of the existing designs, energy generating devices, and came to the conclusion that in mountainous areas the most efficient will be precisely the less hydroelectric power plant in the seventh grade. tamerlan came up with two of his own models at once. mini hydro. they allow you to use the energy of water to charge phones, water heaters and other electrical appliances. the rou

knows the day of children's inventions january 17, they chose this date, because on this day benjamin frankline portrait is placed on the 100 dollar bill, his first invention, the prototype of the modern swimming class. he introduced, when they were only 12 years old, the children also owned other successful ideas. well, yes, after all, it was young inventors who at one time came up with such things as a trampoline, fur headphones, fruit water skiing. ice in modern russia is actively supported by the creativity of young geniuses at the state level. there are several large programs at once, in which schoolchildren can receive grants for their projects, implement them and patent the invention of anton talpa. looked at the most promising. there was no inventor and scientists in the family of tamerlan nagoev, an eleventh-grader from baksan. but there was a grandfather, a shepherd, who so often lacked electricity in the mountains. i became interested in the problem of power supply to consumers in mountainous areas where to lay power lines. uh, quite a difficult task and therefore we, together with

well david seller had been the partner of hall david hall who had been a partner of benjamin franklin who was the most notorious runaway apprent? all right, so you're going oh, he's following that kind of tradition in some form or another well from what it appears. he must have come back and served out his his term as an apprentice or found something else because he's back here in pennsylvania and in philadelphia, but obviously not finding a job or his own independent shop and thus there he was enlisting in the continental army during the revolution in this thing. so we followed him in but it also makes sense about why he would be a sergeant and certainly by a sergeant major. this is somebody who can keep the records and he was he was writing some of the orderly books. so we've got proof of this individual but the big part was that journal now, of course, i looked at that journal and it's wonderful and think about the material resources when you can touch this and i'm going and i was and you're you're hearing this and going 250 years ago he was writing in this and so from his pen and

[ laughter ] we've been working hard for that victory and there are much more to come. as a cadet at west point i learned the phrase and my motto, mission first, people always and right now the people are left out. right now they don't have a congress to speak for them. at the highest level of government. right now, every individual in this room can concede the rounds we've taken is not what we told our con skit wents we'd do. we told them we would fight the opioid crisis. for perspective, there's a hallowed monument that my father took me to. my father is a vietnam veteran. this monument is a total length of 500 feet.

benjamin franklin publishes them down in in philadelphia, especially after the 1730 epidemic. more and more evidence is is is is coming inoculations are being more successful. the people who die from inoculation tend to be very young children, babies and the elderly. the soldier age people who are soldiers in the continental army, teenage ers survive it very well. there's tremendous demand from young adults for innocuous. and you can see by 1764, most bostonian boys are demanding and receiving inoculate. and there's a general inoculate. and in boston in 1764, the entire town shuts down. they shut down trade, shut down commerce. so the whole community can be innocuous. they sit together. the trouble with inoculation and the reason why you have to do it all at once is because after your inoculate, your infectious, you're infectious for 3 to 4 weeks and you can spread natural smallpox to others during that time. so if you wanted to get inoculated, you couldn't return home. you might spread it to your to your children, to your neighbors. so they would create, isolate in hospitals,

when benjamin franklin was leaving the constitutional convention in 1787, and was asked what kind of government the delegates had created, he replied, a republic, if you can keep it. it's been over 200 years since that time. but do we appreciate what it means to have a constitutional republic? the rule of law, presumption of incense, and proper due process. as someone who grew up under dictatorship in the soviet union, i cherish these freedoms tremendously and understand how hard it is to get them back when you lose them. and how many people have died for them. therefore, regardless of politics, i will vigorously defend our constitution and our rights. for all americans. congress is not a kangaroo court and has proper committees, like ethics, judiciariry to pro-- judiciary to provide proper due processes to all individuals whether it's president trump and representative greene, or president biden or representative omar. i adamantly argued for last congress as a member of the judiciary committee to provide this due processes. so i am not planning to become a hypocrite now and lose thi

so they were fairly successful was big business, you see like benjamin franklin later on, who was alsoa boston native, though he was publishing in philadelphia you see them making a lot of money. this is the way they make their write advertisements. and obviously this the only advertisements in the newspapers but they're they're pretty effective people are willing to shell out the bucks to go to to to put them in their. any other questions. yeah. think enslaved people converted about the relationship between like their religiosity and their status. yeah. this is a really, really question. the question is how do enslaved who converted to christianity feel about the relationship between their christian, you know, identity and their status as enslaved? we don't have many documents written firsthand by enslaved people, but we do have some. in fact, one of the earliest poets in the american american canon were actually two people. one was a woman named phillis wheatley, who was enslaved in boston, and another was a man named jupiter hammon, who was enslaved on long island. and people have r

division of hardy's corps is entering this fight and that is the the troops formerly commanded by benjamin franklin cheatham remember i said has moved over to take over hood's former corps his division is by the senior brigade commander who has moved up to division command. that's george meany. unfortunately george maney for the confederates fits the peter principle perfectly. he excuse the alliteration, but he does all right because he cannot keep his men aligned and in look at the separation. carter is part of east division. michael is part of the main east division. so his struggle they're fighting on all different parts of the battlefield. it wasn't that way. and there's even a fourth brigade under frances walker that hasn't even entered the fight yet. so he lost control of these guys. a creek two days earlier. and he's proven once again that that he can't handle a division as well as he could handle a brigade of which he was very good at. but he certainly is very poor at keeping control of this brigade in, this fight, one of the side effects of that is you had a regiment that was jumping and f
