Alchemist Brewery Tour
Here we are at the Alchemist Brewery in Waterbury, VT. Wow, what a good time this was for us. The whole drive up, I had Iron Butterfly stuck in my head.
When we first walked into the brewery, I immediately smelled Heady! This is such a sophisticated brewery operation. All the waste from brewing such as the grain, and yeast are all recycled. This was very impressive! Another reason the Alchemist is paving the way for new innovations in the beer industry. The Alchemist brewery is dedicated to brewing fresh Heady Topper on a daily basis. The weather was cold, but the beer is always good! Cheers!
Thanks again to Joel Hartman for showing us around, and to John & Jen Kimmich.

Interview with Franklin E. Johnson, WWII veteran. CCSU Veterans History Project
Interview conducted by Shawn Ingraham. Frank Johnson enlisted in the U.S. Army just after his graduation from high school in 1942. Pearl Harbor had been bombed during his senior year of high school, and it was very important to him to become a part of the military. He did his basic training at Camp Edwards, Mass., where he also joined the 110th Anti Aircraft Artillery battalion. His unit was sent overseas to Europe just before Christmas of 1943, riding over on the Queen Mary with over 20, 000 other troops. Johnson's first combat experience was on D-Day at Omaha beach in France, which he describes in great detail. His unit also fought in battles for the Liberation of Paris, The Battle of the Bulge, and the battle for Remagen Bridge. After the fighting ended, Johnson's unit was in charge of helping the displaced persons left in Germany. Many of these people were citizens that the Germans had captured and put to work in factories, etc. for no wages. When the war in Europe was officially declared over, Johnson's unit began training for the impending battles in Japan, however, after the Atom bomb was dropped, they were instead sent back to the United States for discharge. After his discharge, he went to college on the G.I. Bill, and became a teacher, guidance counselor, and coach at Naugatuck High School, where he retired from.

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
=======
Hartford is the capital city of Connecticut. It was the seat of Hartford County until Connecticut disbanded county government in 1960. The city is nicknamed the Insurance Capital of the World, as it hosts many insurance company headquarters and is the region's major industry. It is the core city in the Greater Hartford area of Connecticut.
Hartford was founded in 1635 and is among the oldest cities in the United States. It is home to the nation's oldest public art museum (Wadsworth Atheneum), the oldest publicly funded park (Bushnell Park), the oldest continuously published newspaper (the Hartford Courant), and the second-oldest secondary school (Hartford Public High School). It also is home to Trinity College, a private liberal arts college, and the Mark Twain House where the author wrote his most famous works and raised his family, among other historically significant attractions. Mark Twain wrote in 1868, Of all the beautiful towns it has been my fortune to see this is the chief.
Hartford was the richest city in the United States for several decades following the American Civil War. Today, it is one of the poorest cities in the nation, with 3 out of every 10 families living below the poverty threshold. In sharp contrast, the Greater Hartford metropolitan area is ranked 32nd of 318 metropolitan areas in total economic production and 8th out of 280 metropolitan statistical areas in per capita income.Census estimates since the 2010 United States Census have indicated that Hartford is the fourth-largest city in Connecticut, behind the coastal cities of Bridgeport, New Haven, and Stamford.
