Mark Lambert - Dragon Distillery, Frederick, Maryland
Frederick, Maryland in the western part of the state and is known more for its church spires than its booze industry. This picturesque town (actually a City) is on the easternmost ridge of the Blue Ridge Mountains. However, with new entrants like Dragon Distillery, that could be changing. Mark Lambert, the Founder and Master Distiller at Dragon Distillery (first distillery in Frederick) traces his family roots back 7 generations in Frederick to the early 1700’s…that’s before Frederick was…well, Frederick.

Spirits of Maryland - Baltimore Museum of Industry - 6/26/2017
Monika Horizons and I attended the Spirits of Maryland event at The Baltimore Museum of Industry on Sunday, June 25th. This outdoor event featured live music from Ted Garber, light appetizers, and plenty of rum, whiskey, vodka, gin, and liqueurs from all over Maryland.
This was an all-you-can-taste event, but if we’d attempted to taste even half of what was there, we would have ended up in the hospital. I had no idea there were so many distilleries in Maryland! Granted, some of them just started up in the past month, but I literally didn’t sample anything that wasn’t top-notch and didn’t taste like it came from a world-class outfit. I’m a huge gin and vodka snob, and I was legitimately impressed with some of the unique and creative recipes that made these brands stand out from your standard top shelf spirits.
Distilleries in attendance:
• Baltimore Whiskey Company - Baltimore City
• Blackwater Distilling - Queen Anne’s County
• Dragon Distillery - Frederick City
• Gray Wolf Craft Distilling - Talbot County
• Lost Ark Distilling Co - Howard County
• Lyon Distilling - Talbot County
• McClintock Distilling - Frederick City
• MISCellaneous Distillery - Carroll County
• Old Line Spirits - Baltimore City
• Patapsco Distilling - Carroll County
• Sagamore Spirit - Baltimore City
• Tenth Ward Distilling Company - Frederick City
• Tobacco Barn Distillery - St. Mary’s County
• Twin Valley Distillers - Montgomery County

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
=======
Women have made significant contributions to science from the earliest times. Historians with an interest in gender and science have illuminated the scientific endeavors and accomplishments of women, the barriers they have faced, and the strategies implemented to have their work peer-reviewed and accepted in major scientific journals and other publications. The historical, critical and sociological study of these issues has become an academic discipline in its own right.
The involvement of women in the field of medicine occurred in several early civilizations, and the study of natural philosophy in ancient Greece was open to women. Women contributed to the proto-science of alchemy in the first or second centuries AD. During the Middle Ages, convents were an important place of education for women, and some of these communities provided opportunities for women to contribute to scholarly research. While the eleventh century saw the emergence of the first universities, women were, for the most part, excluded from university education. The attitude to educating women in medical fields in Italy appears to have been more liberal than in other places. The first known woman to earn a university chair in a scientific field of studies, was eighteenth-century Italian scientist, Laura Bassi.
Although gender roles were largely defined in the eighteenth century, women experienced great advances in science. During the nineteenth century, women were excluded from most formal scientific education, but they began to be admitted into learned societies during this period. In the later nineteenth century, the rise of the women's college provided jobs for women scientists and opportunities for education.

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.
