TIMESTAMPS:
0:28 The Greatest Thing Since... Sliced Bread
1:52 White Lightening - Alabama White Sauce
3:14 Frozen Alaska, Akutaq
4:23 Spirit Of Kentucky Bourbon
5:50 Brownies - A Movable Treat
7:22 Yes Virginia - There Is A Ham
8:41 Get Down In The Mud - Mississippi Mud Pie
10:06 Louis Lunch (Hamburger)
11:45 We're Talking About Sandwiches, Right? Cubano , Cuban Sandwich
13:06 M&M's Melt In Your Mouth
SUMMARIES:
- Bread has probably been around for 30,000 years, but for most of that time people had to tear or cut off each individual piece of bread. Actual loaves of sliced bread didn't come about until 1928. A jeweler living in Missouri named Otto Rohwedder worked for years to build a practical machine that could mechanically cut loaves of bread.
- There are a lot of barbecue recipes that call for you to simply brush the white sauce onto the chicken during the last few minutes of grilling. Regardless of how you decide to enjoy this spicy condiment, Alabama White Sauce is a tasty American treat worth trying.
- A frozen American treat known as Akutaq, an Eskimo word that means something mixed. It is also known as Alaskan ice cream, Eskimo ice cream, and native ice cream. Regardless of what you call it this traditional frozen dessert is essentially the northern regions' version of ice cream.
- The exact origins of Bourbon whiskey are not clear, and several people have been identified as possible inventors, but actual proof to support these candidates is hard to come by. In 1964 the U.S. congress passed a resolution declaring Bourbon whiskey to be a distinctive product of the United States and directed federal agencies to stop importation of similar foreign products.
- Brownies with chocolate frosting are often called Texas brownies and they are a popular variation of this enduring American treat. A newer variation of this dessert is the brookie, a brownie with a layer of chocolate chip cookie. Brownies are like pizza, even if its less than terrific it's usually still worth eating.
- As its name suggests the Virginia Ham originated in the commonwealth of Virginia. Ham, which is defined as the meat from the upper hinds legs of pigs, has been a popular food in America since settlers in the 17th century brought domesticated pigs with them from Europe. A Virginia Ham, also known as a country ham, is created through a curing process that covers the meat with salt to draw as much moisture out of it as possible to slow down the process of decay.
- There are many variations of this sweet southern treat, but the core ingredients of Mississippi Mud Pie are the trinity of baked goods: chocolate, butter and sugar. The peculiar name of this delicious dessert is taken from the dense, dark mud that is found along the banks of the Mississippi River.
- Louis' Lunch, the inventor of the hamburger, has long stuck to a basic menu that offers only the classic burger, sides of potato salad, potato chips, fresh baked pies and a small selection soft drinks. So if you're in the New Haven area and you're in the mood to try the original hamburger you need to eat Louis' lunch.
- Some food historians believe the Cubano sandwich may have actually originated back in Cuba, but the disagreement seems destined to continue. The Cuban sandwich is a slightly exotic take on the tasty, but basic ham and cheese sandwich.
- M&Ms have been melting in our mouths and not in our hands since 1941. The candy coating was inspired by a process used during World War II to allow soldiers to have chocolate that was less likely to melt into a brown glob in their ruck sacks.

Man falls to his death after son-in-law opens elevator doors early
Surveillance footage from a residential building in Cengong county, southwest China's Guizhou Province shows two men waiting for the elevator to arrive. The son-in-law got impatient and used a key to unlock the elevator door and look inside the shaft, but then the father-in-law walked into the shaft, apparently thinking the lift had arrived and fell to his death.
The tragic incident triggered a heated debate online about whether it was by accident or premeditated. The son-in-law seems very professional and knew where the elevator lock was. I don't know its place, said a netizen on Chinese social media platform Weibo. The son-in-law, surnamed Zhou, claims to be the community's electrician. I forgot to tell my father-in-law not to walk in and I didn’t stop him, Zhou explained. The elevator lock is used by firefighters during emergencies and should never be opened otherwise.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
New Orleans (, locally ; French: La Nouvelle-Orléans [la nuvɛlɔʁleɑ̃] (listen)) is a consolidated city-parish located along the Mississippi River in the southeastern region of the U.S. state of Louisiana. With an estimated population of 391,006 in 2018, it is the most populous city in Louisiana. A major port, New Orleans is considered an economic and commercial hub for the broader Gulf Coast region of the United States.
New Orleans is world-renowned for its distinct music, Creole cuisine, unique dialect, and its annual celebrations and festivals, most notably Mardi Gras. The historic heart of the city is the French Quarter, known for its French and Spanish Creole architecture and vibrant nightlife along Bourbon Street. The city has been described as the most unique in the United States, owing in large part to its cross-cultural and multilingual heritage. Founded in 1718 by French colonists, New Orleans was once the territorial capital of French Louisiana before being traded to the United States in the Louisiana Purchase of 1803. New Orleans in 1840 was the third-most populous city in the United States, and it was the largest city in the American South from the Antebellum era until after World War II. The city's location and flat elevation have historically made it very vulnerable to flooding. State and federal authorities have installed a complex system of levees and drainage pumps in an effort to protect the city.New Orleans was severely affected by Hurricane Katrina on August 29, 2005, which resulted in flooding more than 80% of the city, thousands of deaths, and so much displacement because of damaged communities and lost housing as to cause a population decline of over 50%. Since Katrina, major redevelopment efforts ...
