On July 6, 1944, an estimated 7,000 people, mostly women and children, gathered at the Barbour Street fairgrounds in Hartford, Connecticut to see the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Baily Circus. Inside the big top tent, the lion show had just ended, and the Flying Wallendas were getting ready to begin their performance when the tent caught fire, sending the large audience into a panic as the spectators and performers rushed to get to safety. The tent, which had been coated in paraffin wax, was quickly engulfed in flames and by the time the fire was put out, 139 people were dead and hundreds were badly injured. In the weeks that followed, another twenty-eight would die from their injuries. At the time, the Hartford circus fire was one of the worst fires in American history, and it remains one of the biggest tragedies in the state's history.

  This year marks the 80th anniversary of the Hartford Circus Fire. In this episode of Grating the Nutmeg, Natalie Belanger of the Connecticut Museum of Culture and History tells the story of the deadliest man-made disaster in Connecticut history.     On July 6, 1944, the Big Top of the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus caught fire during a matinee performance. Within ten minutes the tent was burned away, taking the lives of 168 people with it. Hundreds of people were injured, and thousands of survivors would remember that day for the rest of their lives. For generations, people have been drawn to the story of the fire, and to the mystery surrounding the identify of the unclaimed child victim who came to be known as "Little Miss 1565."   Please note that this story includes graphic content and may not be suitable for all listeners.    If you'd like to learn more about the disaster, there are many sources available.

The First in a 2 parter episode all about the 1944 Ringling Bros Barnum & Bailey Circus fire that took place in the tiny backwoods hamlet of Hartford Connecticut! I have no idea why I used an exclamation point at the end of that sentence, the fire doesn't excite me...well, it doesn't "excite" me anyway. Oh well! too late to edit now!

What led Caesar to cross the Rubicon River? Why was it such a big deal? And was Pompey really that great? Trent Edwards and Steve Fait are joined by Lee Uniacke for an improvised history that follows Caesar and friends on their fateful journey, which may require a stop for snacks.

Lulu Adams (1900- c.1989)  was an early female clown who appeared in some of the most renowned British circuses of her time. She formed a famous clown duo act with her husband, Albert, and toured the U.S. with the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus.

They transgressed societal norms through comedy and often spoke out against injustice using their sharp wit. History classes can get a bad rap, and sometimes for good reason. When we were students, we couldn't help wondering... where were all the ladies at? Why were so many incredible stories missing from the typical curriculum? Enter, Womanica. On this Wonder Media Network podcast we explore the lives of inspiring women in history you may not know about, but definitely should. Every weekday, listeners explore the trials, tragedies, and triumphs of groundbreaking women throughout history who have dramatically shaped the world around us. In each 5 minute episode, we'll dive into the story behind one woman listeners may or may not know–but definitely should. These diverse women from across space and time are grouped into easily accessible and engaging monthly themes like Educators, Villains, Indigenous Storytellers, Activists, and many more.  Womanica is hosted by WMN co-founder and award-winning journalist Jenny Kaplan. The bite-sized episodes pack painstakingly researched content into fun, entertaining, and addictive daily adventures.  Womanica was created by Liz Kaplan and Jenny Kaplan, executive produced by Jenny Kaplan, and produced by Grace Lynch, Maddy Foley, Brittany Martinez, Edie Allard, Lindsey Kratochwill, Adesuwa Agbonile, Carmen Borca-Carrillo, Taylor Williamson, Sara Schleede, Paloma Moreno Jimenez, and Abbey Delk.

Jason mentioned that when checking out a story on the world's most dangerous jobs he discovered that topping the list - human cannonball. Peter then informed Jason that one of his very good friends just happened to be Ringling Brothers human cannonball…Really, no really! Why put your life and limb on the line 12 times a week for your profession? What drives a Ringling clown to defy the clearly defined circus caste system and attempt to join the prestigious, aristocracy acts by being shot out of a cannon, traveling high above an audience and landing hundreds of feet away? For 25 years Jon Weiss worked with Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus as a Ringmaster, Clown and "Human Cannonball" – with over 5,000 notches in his cannonball belt. You also might know him as a contestant along with a fellow clown, on CBS' The Amazing Race 4. BONUS: Peter surprised Jason with an in-studio appearance of a potentially even more dangerous job – The Human Torch! Ray Wold has been performing in Cirque du Soleil's “O” show in Las Vegas for more than 24 years, completely engulfing himself in flames as he casually sits on a chair reading a newspaper. Really, no Really! In this episode: The things that motivate people to take dangerous jobs. What it takes to become the human cannonball. The secret circus caste system, clown college & circus sabotage! What it feels like to experience 12G's and deadly mistakes. Jason's failed attempt at fire eating. How the human torch learned to fully engulf himself in fire. How the King on Monaco made Ray's career. Dangerous jobs Jason and Peter contemplate taking. Holding an allegator's mouth closed…hard or easy? Why woodpeckers peck? The definitive answer.

You are managing the schedule, the budget, and the requirements, and at the same time, you've got to consider the stakeholders, team members, and the organization.

WENDY GROUNDS:  Welcome to Manage This, the podcast by project managers for project managers.  I'm Wendy Grounds, and in the studio with me is Bill Yates and Danny Brewer.  We're excited to talk to you today about the circus.  Our guest is Jennifer Lemmer Posey.  She is the Tibbals Curator of Circus at the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art in Sarasota, Florida.  And she's been working with circus collections and the international circus community for 20 years.  Jennifer's also served as editor for Bandwagon, the Journal of the Circus Historical Society, and was an advisory scholar for the Smithsonian Folklife Festival celebrating the circus arts in 2017. You may be wondering why are we talking about a circus when we are a project management podcast.  If we listen carefully to the story of the circus, we tie in so many lessons for project management, from building community, to planning and coordination, for being resourceful. BILL YATES:  Some of you may be thinking, “My project is a lot like a circus.” WENDY GROUNDS:  That's what we were thinking. BILL YATES:  You know, Wendy, the traveling circus back in the early 1900s resembled a small city.  It's like a traveling city.   It entirely packs up and moves to another city every day or every few days.  The performance and movement of the circus must have required great discipline and carefully executed planning.  But it was so impressive that the U.S. Army sent a number of officers to study Barnum & Bailey Circus for a week.  The report the officers sent back praised the complex logistical operation of this massive project.  Here's a quote:  “It is a kingdom on wheels, a city that folds itself up like an umbrella.  Quietly and swiftly every night it does the work of Aladdin's lamp, picking up in its magician's arms theater, hotel, schoolroom, barracks, home, whisking them all miles away and setting them down before sunrise in a new place.”  It is magical what they did with the circus.  And there are so many tiebacks, so many points that we can connect with the projects that we run. WENDY GROUNDS:  Hi, Jennifer, welcome to Manage This.  Thank you so much for being our guest. JENNIFER LEMMER POSEY:  Hi, I'm delighted to be here. Meet Jennifer WENDY GROUNDS:  So we want to dig in and find out more about the circus.  But you have a very interesting job.  What was your career path?  How did you become the Curator of the Circus at the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art?

On this day in 1835, P.T. Barnum started his first tour, which would later grow and become the Barnum and Bailey Circus. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On July 6th 1944 in Hartford, CT, excited ticket holders hurried into the big top to see the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus, “the Greatest Show on Earth.” What started as a day filled with joy and wonder ended in terror and chaos when a fire broke out during the performance, burning the big top to the ground. Was it an accident or arson?

The Greatest Show on Earth -- a slogan adopted in 1919 when The Ringling Brothers Circus combined with the Barnum & Bailey Circus to begin the last ever chapter of the historic American Circus. In a time before YouTube, or television the circus was a seriously big deal.  And as long as we have known the circus , it's always been a family affair. The first place the world ever saw such a show, such an idea, was in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Single unit European families began putting on small road shows and traveling from town to town with their unique skills. Tightrope performers, equestrians, acrobats… They lived and worked as a family. And though the Ringling Brothers came along more than a century later, they were no different. They just scaled it up a bit. Hired a few non-blood relative assets. But in the beginning it was truly nothing but a family affair. Just 5 brothers and a crazy dream.Follow:• @bloodandbusiness on tiktok https://www.tiktok.com/@bloodandbusiness?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc• @bloodandbusiness on instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/bloodandbusiness/• YouTube channel:https://youtube.com/channel/UC2gwWBmXHWF6P5zMHcMs98gInstacart - Groceries delivered in as little as 1 hour.

On December 2nd, 1936 John Ringling died. He had $311 in the bank. His estate was officially appraised at $23,500,000. Today, that would be almost half a billion dollars.Members of the Ringling family controlled the circus until 1967 when they sold it to the Feld family, who kept the name. In 2017 The Ringling Bros. Barnum & Bailey Circus closed out it's last tour, and walked off the lot for the last time ever.Follow:• @bloodandbusiness on tiktok https://www.tiktok.com/@bloodandbusiness?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc• @bloodandbusiness on instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/bloodandbusiness/• YouTube channel:https://youtube.com/channel/UC2gwWBmXHWF6P5zMHcMs98gInstacart - Groceries delivered in as little as 1 hour.

================================================== ==SUSCRIBETEhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNpffyr-7_zP1x1lS89ByaQ?sub_confirmation=1================================================== == DEVOCIÓN MATUTINA PARA ADOLESCENTES 2022“UN SALTO EN EL TIEMPO”Narrado por: DORIANY SÁNCHEZDesde: PERÚUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist Church  02 DE JUNIOEL MAYOR ESPECTÁCULO DEL MUNDO«¿Y qué beneficio obtienes si ganas el mundo entero, pero te pierdes o destruyes a ti mismo?» (Lucas 9:25, NTV).En este día de 1835, PT Barnum llevó su famoso circo a su primera gira. Y qué espectáculo fue ese, incluso en aquellos días. En el siglo XIX, no había cines, televisores ni radios, así que un circo que llegaba a la ciudad podía atraer a miles de personas, y el suyo lo hizo. Barnum no dejaba de lado que su único objetivo en la vida era acumular riqueza. Era un hombre de negocios y un animador, probablemente el primer millonario del mundo del espectáculo.Siendo aún joven, Barnum trabajó como tendero, aprendió a regatear, a negociar con dureza ya utilizar el engaño para conseguir una venta. En 1836 organizó un espectáculo itinerante llamado Barnum's Grand Scientific and Musical Theatre, que posteriormente se convirtió en el Barnum's American Museum. Sus exhibiciones en vivo aparecieron albinos, gigantes, enanos, «gordos», malabaristas y magos. Un enano, Tom Thumb, se convirtió en una de sus atracciones más populares. Para finales de 1846, Barnum atraía a 400.000 visitantes al año. Incluso hizo una gira por Europa, entreteniendo a la realización de varios países.Cuando puso en marcha su famoso circo ambulante, Barnum se convirtió en uno de los grandes maestros del espectáculo de todos los tiempos con sus bromas, sus extraños espectáculos paralelos y sus sensacionales demostraciones de acrobacia bajo las grandes carpas. Su zoológico itinerante se convirtió en una gran atracción para niños y adultos. Uno de los animales más famosos de todos los tiempos era un elefante africano gigante llamado Jumbo. El espectáculo itinerante de Barnum llegó a ser conocido como Ringling Brothers y Barnum & Bailey Circus. No es de extrañar que afirmara que su circo era «El mayor espectáculo del mundo».Barnum fue el primer propietario de un circo que se trasladó en tren, y el primero que compró su propio tren. Dada la falta de carreteras asfaltadas en los Estados Unidos, esto resultó ser una buena estrategia comercial, que le dio mucho éxito. Se hizo increíblemente rico, a veces cuadruplicando sus inversiones en un solo espectáculo. Sin embargo, varias veces en su vida lo perdió todo, y malas inversiones publicitarias, varios accidentes de tren, incendios y la bancarrota, lo persiguieron.Jesús nos hace una pregunta muy importante. Aunque lleguemos a ser increíblemente ricos, ¿de qué sirve si perdemos la vida eterna? Esa es una muy buena pregunta, y al igual que PT Barnum, haríamos bien en pensar en ella.

Some relief is coming to families that have been grappling with a shortage of baby formula.  President Biden authorized Operation Fly Formula which delivered 78,000 pounds of formula from Germany to Indiana on Sunday.  More shipments are expected soon.  Ginger Gibson, deputy Washington digital editor at NBC News, joins us for what to know about this, Biden's trip to Asia, and a judge blocking the end of Title 42.   Next, the number of Americans that quit their jobs during the pandemic spiked, and it could be a permanent fixture on the job market.  This has led to more opportunities for employees, but for employers it has been a nightmare.  They are dealing with high turnover and how to keep workers happy… simply offering a WFH model doesn't work anymore.  Aki Ito, senior correspondent at Business Insider, joins us for the ‘Forever Resignation.'   Finally, the circus is coming back!  Five years ago, Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus said it was closing due to sagging ticket sales and an outdated business model.  Now, they have announced a return in 2023 but with one notable absence, the animals.  The elephants and lions are gone, and the circus will take on a more narrative story based on human feats.  Sarah Maslin Nir, reporter at the NY Times, joins us for more.
