American Museum Of Science & Energy; Oak Ridge, Tenn.
Quickie walk-through of the American Museum Of Science & Energy in Oak Ridge (the Secret City), Tennessee. This is the city built by the gov't during WW2 to manufacture the nukes that we dropped on Japan in 1945, effectively ending the war. The area went from a rural population of 3000 to a 'secret' city of 75,000 in a matter of a couple years. It became, at the time, the 5th largest city in Tennessee, yet it wasn't on any map. None of the workers there knew exactly what they were creating there, just that it was for 'the war effort'.

American Museum of Science and Energy at Oak Ridge- My Nuclear Vacation!
I actually managed to go on vacation! When a friend asked me to go with his family to the Smokey Mountains, with a stop at Oak Ridge National Laboratory my nerdy heart couldn't say yes fast enough! This museum is open to the public and is at the start of the bus tour of the Oak Ridge complex. Anyone can go to the museum, but only US citizens can go on the bus tour due to national security concerns. However, I was given permission to post some of it here on my channel, and that slide show is coming in part 2. Trust me, you won't want to miss it!

'Flat Top' house built for Manhattan Project workers in Oak Ridge, Tenn.
Located at the American Museum Of Science & Energy in Oak Ridge, Tenn., this modular home is one of the many built in Oak Ridge during WW2 for workers on the Manhattan Project. These were simple, but quick and cheap to build. At one point, 1,000 per month were going up in Oak Ridge. There were several layouts available. Also during that time, Americans were encouraged to plant 'Victory Gardens' to help out with food rationing during the war effort. Many of these 'Flat Top' houses still exist and are still in use in Oak Ridge today, even though they were labeled as 'temporary housing'. A lot of them have been added on to, and a lot have had peaked roofs added, as well.

It is always about how much do you pay the minimum about credits and loans each month. However, the new system of credit scores will check under microscope how much you pay. Paul Oster believes that the problem is that the consumers don’t know about it. Ontime payments won't be good enough anymore. This new credit scoring system is called Trending credit data and is going into affect June 25th. The first to do will be to identify the largest mortgage lenders in the nation.

All the non-important bills will affect your industry. Finance and Insurance sector also includes monetary authorities charged with monetary control. The sub-sectors, industry groups and industries within the NAICS Finance and Insurance sector are defined on the basis of their unique production processes. As with all industries, the production processes are distinguished by their use of specialized human resources and specialized physical capital. In addition, the way in which these establishments acquire and allocate financial capital, their source of funds, and the use of those funds provides a third basis for distinguishing characteristics of the production process. For instance, the production process in raising funds through deposit-taking is different from the process of raising funds in bond or money markets. Installment credit is used for a specific purpose, for a defined amount and for a specific period. Payments are usually the same amount each month. Examples of purchases made on installment credit include large appliances, automobiles and furniture. These kinds of loans usually offer lower interest rates than revolving credit. For example, a car company holds a lien on the car until the car loan is repaid. The total amount of the principal and interest is repaid within a predefined period. If the customer defaults on the loan payments, the company can repossess the car and charge penalties. Better Qualified has developed a proven credit management program that will help you manage your credit and save money. The Oak Ridge area is striated by five elongated ridges that run roughly parallel to one another in a northeast-to-southwest direction. In order from west-to-east, the five ridges are Blackoak Ridge—which connects the Elza and K-25 bends of the Clinch and thus walls off the half-rectangle—East Fork Ridge, Pine Ridge, Chestnut Ridge, and Haw Ridge. The five ridges are divided by four valleys—East Fork Valley (between Blackoak and East Fork Ridge), Gamble Valley (between East Fork Ridge and Pine Ridge), Bear Creek Valley (between Pine Ridge and Chestnut), and Bethel Valley (between Chestnut and Haw). These ridges and valleys are part of the Ridge-and-Valley Appalachians physiographic province. The main section of the city is located in the northeast, where East Fork and Pine Ridge give way to low, scattered hills.

The Martin Family Circus - Elvira (Country Music Hall of Fame Medallion Ceremony 2015)
Nashville, TN. October 25, 2015. Country Music Hall of Fame Medallion Ceremony. The Martin Family Circus bounded onstage. Featuring Duane Allen’s daughter Jamie Allen on vocals with support from her husband, Paul Martin, and their four children, the group delighted Allen, his vocal partners and the rest of the audience with an animated version of “Elvira.” The children—March, 17; Kell, 14; Texas, 10; and Tallant, 8—proved to be experienced stage performers as they drew out the celebratory, whimsical nature of the singalong hit.
Drawn together by a love of gospel quartet singing, the four members all remember particularly loving the exuberant sound of the Oak Ridge Quartet, as the group was known from 1945 to the mid-1960s.
Golden joined the group in 1965, and Allen joined the following year. Sterban came aboard in 1972, and within a year, Bonsall completed the quartet’s long-running, most famous lineup.
Encouraged by manager Jim Halsey, the quartet began thinking beyond gospel. At first, Music Row was reluctant, believing the Statler Brothers already accounted for a country group that performed in the style of a gospel quartet.
But Country Music Hall of Fame member Jim Foglesong “figured the Oak Ridge Boys were too good to fail” and signed the group to ABC/Dot Records, Williams said. “And Jim Foglesong was right.”
In 1977, the Oak Ridge Boys hit the Top Five with “Y’all Come Back Saloon.” A year later, they topped the country chart with “I’ll Be True to You.” In all, they achieved 17 #1 singles and 37 Top 20 country hits, including such high water marks as “Fancy Free,” “Bobbie Sue,” Leaving Louisiana in the Broad Daylight” and “Elvira.”
Over the years, the Oak Ridge Boys earned one double-platinum album, three platinum, and 12 gold albums. The group also became fan favorites for their high-production, arena-ready stage shows.
“Always that harmony, that fifth famous voice, rooted in gospel, positive in perspective, bringing joy, bringing excitement,” Williams said. “Whether singing songs of faith, or love songs, or the national anthem at hundreds of sporting events, or the giddy-ups that precede the ‘oom papa mow-mow’s,’ they brought harmony to a world that’s rife with dissonance.”

Valley of the Tennessee (1944 Documentary)
HISTORICAL FILM
The Valley of the Tennessee is a film showing the hardships of agriculture before the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) came in and built many dams to help prevent the problems of flooding, erosion, and poor irrigation. Before the TVA built its many dams there was a lot of farms, houses, and lives lost due to flooding. With the building of the dams and educating of the farmers in the Tennessee River Valley, the TVA helped better the area for generations to come. ~~Archive.Org description

SUMMARY
=======
The American Museum of Science and Energy (AMSE) is a science museum in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, designed to teach both children and adults about energy, especially nuclear power, and to document the role Oak Ridge played in the Manhattan Project. The museum opened as the American Museum of Atomic Energy in 1949 in an old World War II cafeteria on Jefferson Circle. It moved to its current facility in 1975 and was renamed AMSE in 1978.
The museum has both permanent and rotating exhibits, including robots, science puzzles, a NOAA weather station, a timeline of atomic discoveries, a large Van de Graaff generator, a display devoted to nuclear weapons and the Y-12 Plant, and a solar energy demonstration project. Its flagship exhibit, titled Secret City - The Oak Ridge Story, was completely redesigned and rebuilt in 2007. A World War II-vintage flat top house, one of many inhabited by Manhattan Project workers in Oak Ridge, opened as a walk-through attraction in 2009. Several photos by Ed Westcott are on display.
The museum also provides bus tours of the local sites of the Manhattan Project National Historical Park including the X-10 Graphite Reactor National Historic Landmark, Buildings 9731 and 9204-3 at the Y-12 complex and the East Tennessee Technology Park, located on the site of the K-25 Building.The museum is open seven days a week. The museum was free to the public for many years when its operation was fully funded by the U.S. federal government, but now charges for admission. The museum is a Smithsonian Affiliate.

More information about the video content bellow:
1. Oak Ridge, Tennessee, is no secret now, but when it was founded in 1942, the entire town was kept under wraps. That’s because the city was formed for workers on the Manhattan Project, the secret military operation that resulted in the first nuclear weapons. Residents were fenced in, with guards stationed at every exit. The project was so cloaked in secrecy that many employees had no idea what they were working on until the bombs were dropped.
2. The state was once home to Tanasi, the capital of the Cherokee Nation from 1721 to 1730. The capital was eventually absorbed by the town of Chota, which then became the capital instead. The official site is now underwater, but a marker erected in 1989 pays homage to what once was. You can find it in McGee Carson Peninsula State Historic Park. And yes—the state may have been named after this village.
3. It may come as no surprise that Tennessee is the birthplace of country music, but the genre's specific home isn't the town you think it is. In 1927, music producer Ralph Peer recorded more than 76 songs in downtown Bristol, Tennessee, in just 10 days, bringing in performers from around the Appalachian Mountain area. This included the Carter family, later declared the First Family of Country Music. Congress officially proclaimed Bristol the “Birthplace of Country Music” in 1998.
4. Mountain Dew was invented there. The popular neon soft drink was originally developed by brothers Ally and Barney Hartman as a mixer, something to cut the acrid taste of homemade moonshine. Pepsi bought the Hartman brothers' lemon-lime concoction in 1964.
5. Another concoction from Chattanooga: The MoonPie. Legend has it that the marshmallowy treat was invented in 1917 after the owner of the Chattanooga Bakery asked a coal miner what kind of snack he’d like to pack in his lunchbox. Something with graham cracker, chocolate, and marshmallow, the miner said. Then the baker wondered how big the pastry should be. The miner held his hands up to the sky and framed the moon.
6. The cotton candy machine was invented by a dentist from Nashville. Perhaps trying to generate more cavities to fill, dentist William Morrison and candymaker John C. Wharton co-created the cotton candy machine in 1897. They debuted their device at the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair, where it was an immediate hit: They sold 68,655 boxes for 25 cents each.
7. Memphis is home to one of the five most-visited private homes in the United States. Elvis Presley’s former home, Graceland, hosts more than 500,000 visitors annually. Tourism varies by year, but Graceland is usually second only to the White House. Martin Luther King, Jr., was assassinated at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis. The site is now a National Civil Rights Museum. Among the exhibits is the hotel’s original room 306, where King was staying when he was assassinated.
