Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin (January 17, 1706 [O.S. January 6, 1705] – April 17, 1790) was one of the Founding Fathers of the United States. A renowned polymath, Franklin was a leading author, printer, political theorist, politician, freemason, postmaster, scientist, inventor, civic activist, statesman, and diplomat. As a scientist, he was a major figure in the American Enlightenment and the history of physics for his discoveries and theories regarding electricity. As an inventor, he is known for the lightning rod, bifocals, and the Franklin stove, among other inventions. He facilitated many civic organizations, including Philadelphia's fire department and a university.

Franklin earned the title of "The First American" for his early and indefatigable campaigning for colonial unity, first as an author and spokesman in London for several colonies. As the first United States Ambassador to France, he exemplified the emerging American nation. Franklin was foundational in defining the American ethos as a marriage of the practical values of thrift, hard work, education, community spirit, self-governing institutions, and opposition to authoritarianism both political and religious, with the scientific and tolerant values of the Enlightenment. In the words of historian Henry Steele Commager, "In a Franklin could be merged the virtues of Puritanism without its defects, the illumination of the Enlightenment without its heat." To Walter Isaacson, this makes Franklin "the most accomplished American of his age and the most influential in inventing the type of society America would become."

History (TV channel)

History (originally The History Channel, from 1995 to 2008) is an American basic cable and satellite television channel that is owned by A+E Networks, a joint venture between the Hearst Corporation and the Disney–ABC Television Group division of The Walt Disney Company.

It originally broadcast documentary programs and historical fiction series. However, since 2008, it has mostly broadcast a variety of reality television series such as Pawn Stars, Ax Men, and other non-history related content. Additionally, the network is frequently criticized by scientists, historians, and skeptics for broadcasting pseudo-documentaries, unsubstantiated and sensational investigative programming, such as Ancient Aliens, UFO Hunters, Brad Meltzer's Decoded and the Nostradamus Effect. As of February 2015, approximately 96,149,000 American households (82.6% of households with television) receive History.

International localized versions of History are available, in various forms, in India, Canada, Europe, Australia, Middle East, Africa, and Latin America. The first European version was launched in Scandinavia in 1997 by Viasat which now operates their own channel, Viasat History.

Benjamin

Benjamin was the last-born of Jacob's thirteen children (12 sons 1 daughter), and the second and last son of Rachel in Jewish, Christian and Islamic tradition. He was the progenitor of the Israelite Tribe of Benjamin. In the Biblical account, unlike Rachel's first son, Joseph, Benjamin was born in Canaan. In the Samaritan Pentateuch, Benjamin's name appears as "Binyaamem" (Hebrew: בנימין, "Son of my days"). In the Qur'an, Benjamin is referred to as righteous young child, who remained with Jacob when the older brothers plotted against Joseph. Later rabbinic traditions name him as one of four ancient Israelites who died without sin, the other three being Chileab, Jesse and Amram.

Name

According to the Torah, Benjamin's name arose when Jacob deliberately corrupted the name Benoni, the original name of Benjamin, since Benoni was an allusion to Rachel's dying just after she had given birth, as it means son of my pain. Textual scholars regard these two names as fragments of naming narratives coming from different sources - one being the Jahwist and the other being the Elohist.

After hearing about the project, the soundtrack was written specifically for the video by a Grammy Award winning producer.

Johnny is humiliated on the news and discouraged by his old physics professor Howard Lorington. Lorington doesn't want Johnny to fail, he simply wants him to use real science instead of science-fiction. After Penny helps Johnny to see the error in his ways, he goes back to the professor to get the right scientific information. Working through the night, Johnny applies what he has learned from Lorington and is ready to launch the next day. He is greeted by hundreds of local residents who have come out to see their new hero.

Ben Franklin

Old Ben Franklin, I think we should thank him
Was a poet and a diplomat
He put a key out in a cage till he saw the lightning
strike
But what's shocking is he did more than that
Chorus:
He put my focals on the nose, made a better wood stove
The lightning rods in all the homes in Philly
He helped the declaration pass, he made music out a
class
Fought the British as a lot of things were silly
Old Ben Franklin, I think we should thank him
Was the word's most industrious guy
He said early to bed, and early the rise
Makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise
Chorus:
He put my focals on the nose, made a better wood stove
The lightning rods in all the homes in Philly
He helped the declaration pass, he made music out a
class
Fought the British as a lot of things were silly
He was a fireman
He was an inventor
He was kite flier
He was a lighter
He was... for general
An ambassador
He was a musician
A revolutionary
He was a philosopher...
Chorus:
He put my focals on the nose, made a better wood stove
The lightning rods in all the homes in Philly
He helped the declaration pass, he made music out a
class
Fought the British as a lot of things were silly
He that is good for making excuses is seldom good for
anything else
An investment in knowledge pays the best interest
Fish and gas go bad after three days
A man wrapped up in himself makes a very small bundle
Say, hey Benny, they didn't put you on the penny
Though you... with your mighty
..a penny saved is a penny earned
So they put you on the hundred bill
Chorus:
He put my focals on the nose, made a better wood stove
The lightning rods in all the homes in Philly
He helped the declaration pass, he made music out a
class
Fought the British as a lot of things were silly
