When Harold Dahl saw UFOs over Puget Sound in 1947, he never expected a visit from a man in black who would threaten him to keep quiet—spawning a phenomenon that would haunt UFO witnesses for decades.Join the DARKNESS SYNDICATE: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateTake the WEIRD DARKNESS LISTENER SURVEY and help mold the future of the podcast: https://weirddarkness.com/surveyIN THIS EPISODE: The Bermuda Triangle isn't the only watery region with a reputation for unexplainable events and tragedies. For centuries, a triangular portion of Lake Michigan has been ground zero for sunken ships, disappearing crews, and vanishing aircraft. As if these incidents aren't creepy enough, what is now known as the Lake Michigan Triangle is also notorious for UFO sightings and strange lights appearing on the horizon. (The Lake Michigan Paranormal Triangle) *** There's a beast living in the woodlands outside of Rhinelander, Wisconsin – and its description is beyond belief. I'll introduce you to the hodag!

We'll look at her haunting story and tragic death. (The Tragic Death of Sylvia Plath) *** It's approximately four hundred years old, full of colorful illustrations of plants, flowers, the stars, women, medicinal herbs, and text… yet no one has been able to decipher exactly what the Voynich Manuscript is for or what it says. (The Voynich Manuscript) *** The disappearance of a person is a tragedy no matter how you look at it. When we first read about missing people we usually automatically assume the most logical explanation was what happened. But what if we're wrong? We'll look at the vanishing of Claude and Sue Shelton. (The Shelton Disappearance) *** Unlike their Hollywood counterparts, the real-life Men in Black are mysterious figures who threaten people who have reported paranormal experiences.

(Orig pub date: 2/3/24) On August 17th, 1849, London police officers made a grisly discovery at the home of George and Maria (born Marie de Roux) Manning. Her former beau, Patrick O'Connor, had been buried under the floor. A nationwide hunt for the couple would follow, and after that a trial and executions. The murder case would grip London so fervently that Madame Tussaud would later add wax versions of the couple to her infamous Chamber of Horrors. My guest today is Gavin Whitehead, creator, writer and narrator of The Art of Crime podcast, which is currently in its third season. (Note: At the end of this encore interview, I reconnect with Gavin for a teaser on his fifth season, just recently released, called "Murder by the Book").

New Zealand's unemployment rate has hit 5.2% - the highest since 2020. Auckland Business Chamber Chief Executive Simon Bridges spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. One of the best ways to support the local economy is by shopping local. From retail boutiques to family-owned restaurants, the impact is felt across Utah. Today, South Jordan Chamber President and CEO Boyd Petersen joins us to share how local businesses power his community. Boyd Petersen: One of the strongest ways to support South Jordan's economy is by shopping local. According to the American Independent Business Alliance, for every 100 dollars spent at a local business, about 68 dollars stays in our community — compare that to just 43 dollars at national chains. This reinvestment helps create jobs, drive economic growth, and improve quality of life in South Jordan. Our Buy Local South Jordan initiative shines a spotlight on the city's vibrant small business community offering residents easy ways to support local entrepreneurs. Local businesses give South Jordan its distinct character and charm, which big-box retailers simply can't replicate. By choosing to shop local, residents help preserve our community's identity, foster economic vitality, and enjoy quality products and services. The South Jordan Chamber encourages everyone to make a conscious choice to shop local and keep our community thriving. To learn more about our local businesses go to SouthJordanBuyLocal.com. Derek Miller: When shopping local, you're investing in real people, unique stories, and the heart of your community. It's more than a purchase — it's a meaningful choice that fuels connection and keeps your community vibrant, creative, and authentic. I'm Derek Miller, with the Salt Lake Chamber, Speaking on Business. Originally aired: 8/6/25

Javier Franco, a military veteran and dedicated community member. Javier shares his journey to Grayslake, his passion for youth soccer through AYSO, and the importance of volunteering. The conversation highlights Grayslake's welcoming spirit, the value of local involvement, and the positive impact of youth sports. With heartfelt stories and practical advice, this episode celebrates the people and programs that make Grayslake a vibrant hometown.  Building Community Through Youth Soccer: Lessons from Grayslake's AYSO with Javier Franco Discovering Grayslake isn't just a podcast—it's a celebration of the people, businesses, and stories that make this hometown special. In a recent episode, host David Wall sat down with Javier Franco, a military veteran, father, and passionate youth soccer coach, to explore how local involvement, volunteerism, and the beautiful game of soccer are shaping the fabric of Grayslake. This in-depth blog post unpacks the main themes and actionable insights from their conversation, offering a roadmap for anyone looking to make a difference in their community—on or off the field. Table of Contents The Power of Local Involvement AYSO: More Than Just Soccer Coaching: Leadership Over Technical Expertise Player Development: A Long-Term, Inclusive Approach The Heartbeat of Grayslake: Community Spirit Actionable Tips for Getting Involved The Lasting Impact of Volunteering Final Thoughts: Be a Good Human The Power of Local Involvement Javier Franco's journey to Grayslake is a testament to the transformative power of community. After years of moving due to military service and work, Javier and his family chose Grayslake for its welcoming neighborhoods, excellent schools, and the “Pleasantville” atmosphere where kids and dogs play freely and neighbors look out for one another. Key Takeaways: Community Roots Matter:** Settling in a place with a strong sense of belonging can have a profound impact on family life and personal well-being. Local Businesses as Pillars:** Organizations like Grayslake Rehabilitation Center, Servpro of Northwest Lake County, and City Chevrolet of Grayslake are not just businesses—they're community partners invested in the town's success. Actionable Advice: Attend local events and support small businesses to strengthen community ties. Get to know your neighbors—simple acts like a friendly wave or a helping hand go a long way. AYSO: More Than Just Soccer The American Youth Soccer Organization (AYSO) in Grayslake is a model for how youth sports can foster community, inclusivity, and lifelong learning. Javier, now a coach and community advocate, highlights several unique aspects of the program: Structure and Philosophy Grassroots to High School:** Programs start as early as age 4 (“six-you” group) and extend through high school, with age-appropriate training and competition. Certified Coaching:** All coaches receive nationally recognized training, ensuring consistency and quality across the board. Inclusive Programs:** Beyond the core age groups, AYSO offers adult leagues and the EPIC program for children with special needs (available in nearby regions). Community-Driven Leadership Volunteer-Led:** The program thrives on the dedication of parent volunteers, many of whom have deep roots in the community. Mentorship:** Experienced coaches mentor new volunteers, creating a supportive environment for both players and adults. Expert Insight:   AYSO's focus isn't just on winning games—it's about developing better players and better people. The organization's 40-year legacy in Grayslake is a testament to its impact, with multi-generational involvement and a strong sense of town pride. Coaching: Leadership Over Technical Expertise One of the most powerful messages from Javier's story is that you don't need to be a soccer expert to be a great youth coach. What matters most is your ability to lead, inspire, and connect with kids. Breaking Down the Barriers Leadership Skills Trump Technical Skills:** Javier and his wife both became coaches despite different athletic backgrounds. Their success comes from their ability to motivate and manage children, not from deep soccer knowledge. Free, Ongoing Training:** AYSO provides free, high-quality training for all coaches, including mentorship from those with semi-professional and international experience. Encouraging New Volunteers:** Many parents hesitate to volunteer, fearing they lack expertise. Javier's advice: If you can lead and care for kids, you can coach. Actionable Advice: Step up to volunteer, even if you're new to the sport. Leverage your life and leadership experience. Take advantage of training and mentorship opportunities—AYSO and similar organizations are invested in your success. Player Development: A Long-Term, Inclusive Approach AYSO's player development model is built on the belief that every child deserves the chance to grow, regardless of skill level or background. Key Elements Age-Appropriate Progression:** From basic coordination and ball control at age 4 to small-sided games and advanced skills in later years. Focus on Fundamentals:** Weekly practices and summer programs emphasize core skills like dribbling, passing, and shooting, reinforced over time. Inclusivity:** Programs are designed to welcome all players, including those with no prior experience or those with special needs. Competitive Yet Supportive Travel and Competition:** Contrary to the myth that recreational soccer isn't competitive, Grayslake teams often play against other communities, fostering healthy rivalry and growth. Player-Centric Philosophy:** The goal is to help each child improve and enjoy the game, whether they aspire to play at the highest levels or just want to have fun. Expert Advice: Choose programs that prioritize development and inclusivity over short-term wins. Encourage your child to try new things and support their growth, regardless of their starting point. The Heartbeat of Grayslake: Community Spirit Javier's story is woven into the larger narrative of Grayslake's community spirit. From the redesigned AYSO shield symbolizing town pride to the multi-generational connections at Chamber of Commerce events, the message is clear: youth sports are about more than just the game. Building Lasting Connections Family and Tradition:** Many families have been involved with AYSO for decades, creating a sense of continuity and shared purpose. Events and Outreach:** Community events like Summer Days and Taste of Grayslake bring people together, while soccer programs offer outreach to immigrant and underserved families. Actionable Advice: Attend and support local events to deepen your connection to the community. Look for ways to use sports and other activities as vehicles for outreach and inclusion. Actionable Tips for Getting Involved Ready to make a difference in your hometown? Here's how you can get started, inspired by Javier's journey: 1. Register Your Child for Soccer Visit grayslakesoccer.com for easy online registration. Follow “Grayslake Soccer 396” on Facebook for updates, photos, and community news. 2. Volunteer Your Time Coaching isn't the only way to help—consider roles in administration, event planning, or equipment management. No experience? No problem. Training and mentorship are available. 3. Support Local Businesses and Events Frequent local restaurants and shops. Attend community events and bring your family and friends. 4. Spread Kindness and Positivity Perform small acts of kindness daily—hold the door, smile, greet a neighbor. Remember that everyone is facing their own challenges; empathy goes a long way. The Lasting Impact of Volunteering Javier and David both emphasize that volunteers are the backbone of any thriving community. Whether you're coaching, helping at a food pantry, or supporting local government, your efforts matter. Why Volunteer? Personal Growth:** Volunteering builds leadership, communication, and organizational skills. Community Impact:** Volunteers create opportunities, foster inclusion, and make Grayslake a better place for everyone. Unexpected Opportunities:** As Javier's story shows, volunteering can open doors you never expected—from podcast interviews to lifelong friendships. Expert Tip:   Start small. Even a few hours a month can make a big difference. Look for causes that align with your interests and values. Final Thoughts: Be a Good Human As the episode closes, David Wall leaves listeners with a simple but powerful message: “Be a good human being.” Whether you're coaching soccer, supporting a neighbor, or just going about your day, kindness and community spirit are what truly make Grayslake—and any hometown—special.

The latest episode of the Tahoe TAP podcast puts a spotlight on Truckee's business landscape with a special guest who's helping shape it — Jessica Penman, President and CEO of the Truckee Chamber of Commerce. Hosts Mike Peron and Rob Galloway kick off the episode with their signature roundup of regional happenings before diving into a fireside-style conversation with Penman, who took the helm of the Chamber in October 2022. Since stepping into the leadership role, Penman has worked to amplify the voice of Truckee's business community while promoting economic development and community engagement. During the interview, Penman shares her journey from growing up visiting Truckee on weekends and holidays to now calling it her permanent home. She brings a diverse background to the role, having previously served as Director of Community Relations for the Yountville Chamber of Commerce in Napa County. With extensive experience in marketing, sales, membership relations, and workforce development, she brings a forward-thinking approach to supporting local businesses. Penman also discusses her academic roots — holding a BA in Anthropology and Classical Civilizations from the University of Arizona and an MA in Egyptian Archaeology from University College London — and how her global experiences in Italy, Egypt, and England have shaped her community-first philosophy. Outside the office, Penman is an avid hiker and paddleboarder, often exploring the Sierra Nevada with her boyfriend and their puppy, Auggie. Listeners can tune into the full episode of Tahoe TAP to hear Penman's thoughts on community building, chamber initiatives, and what excites her most about Truckee's future. The Tahoe TAP podcast, hosted by Peron and Galloway, continues to explore the people, adventures, and culture that define life around Lake Tahoe.

To help promote the Greater Haverhill Chamber of Commerce and Haverhill itself, the organization is making sure business owners and their employees know they may attend functions without being a member.The reminder came from Katie Cook, new Chamber president, during a recent appearance on WHAV's “Win for Breakfast” program. Cook shared some of the initiatives and upcoming events on the Chamber's calendar.“You don't have to be a member to attend any of our events. We are really trying to do the next year with open events to draw attention to the Chamber and have people connecting. We want to help all businesses in the city,” Cook said.Among the more popular events this month is the Chamber's eighth annual Restaurant Week which is moving back to August this year. It runs from Friday, Aug. 15, through Monday, Aug. 25. Participating restaurants will offer specials rather than a fixed priced item, Cook said.“Fortunately for Haverhill, we don't just have dinner-style restaurants. We've got a ton of cafes in the area. We've got ice cream stands and dessert places that want to participate,” Cook said.So far 12 eateries have signed on. They are Aroma Joe's, Barrio, Bosa, Bradford Village Square, Casa Bianca, Dominic's, Drop Café, G's Texas Southern Fare, Joseph's Trattoria. Peddler's Daughter, Roma Ristorante and The Tap Brewing Co. The Chamber is also offering the chance to win prizes for eating at least four establishments. Diners can pick up a passport at their first stop and then get stamps during visits to other restaurants.Another event Cook is excited about is the Harbor Tours Back to Business networking mixer on Wednesday, Aug. 13, at the Haverhill Municipal Dock off Washington Street. Yankee Clipper will offer three 30-minute boat rides on the Merrimack. The event begins at 4:30 p.m. with networking, and open bar and snacks. The boat tours will leave at 5, 5:30 and 6 p.m. Cook highly recommends the river cruise.“It is such a different view of the city. It is gorgeous,” Cook said.There's more at the Chamber's website, HaverhillChamber.com.Support the show

You'll enjoy the conversation about Generational Differences. I know you will want to hear and share with those you know!About Dr Kimberlee Mendoza-She grew up in Southern California, but now reside in West Texas with my husband. Dr Kimberlee, is a Professor of Humanities & Leadership at Wayland Baptist University, where she teaches Leadership, Humanities, & Writing.   She is an author, playwright, communicator, and friend. Dr Kimberlee, has a PhD in Leadership Studies from Johnson University. One of my favorite hobbies is traveling to share good leadership practices with leaders throughout the U.S. She has also taught military leaders, at the Lion's Club and Chamber of Commerce, as well as several  professional developments in heath care, business, and education.Show Notes--Generational Theory: You are influenced by the culture, the movies, the music, parenting styles, and more.-Generation: A group of people who shared time and space in history that gives them a collective persona.-Dr Kimberlee's book:Teaching Squirrels: How to Reach Generation Z and Create Lasting Engagement-Link: https://a.co/d/7eLgW2y -Dr Kimberlee Mendoza's website: https://www.kimmendoza.com -What are the five types of generations?1. Greatest Generation- born 1901 to 1925.2. Silent Generation- born 1926 to 1944.3. Baby Boomers—born 1945 to 1964.4. Generation X—born 1965 to 1979.5. Generation Y—born 1980 to 1994.6. Generation Z—born 1995 to 2010.7. Generation Alpha- born 2011 to 2021.-What are some of the factors that influence a generation?1. Culture – What are the cultural outputs of an era?  Who were the greatest music artists, the best actors / actresses, the best movies, the fashion icons.? All these aspects tell us a lot about what a generation stands for; what they cared about, and how they wanted to be seen.2. Social–  What are the social structures, especially the family and parenting styles, both have a huge effect on who we are. In the United States, family structures have evolved throughout the years: from the prevalent nuclear family that most Baby Boomers are familiar with to today's multi family structures that include nuclear, blended, multi-generational, and single parent households.3. Economy – Economic booms and busts always had a huge influence on attitudes, beliefs and behaviors of a generation. 4. Political – The political context is also a significant factor especially if it includes extreme events like wars or wild card events like terrorist attacks. Think Vietnam war for Baby Boomers, or September 11th for the Millennials. These events are not only  memorable but also play  a major role in how a generation views the government and its actions. Trust is another dimension we carefully consider in generational research.5. Technology –  Constantly evolving,  technology always puts its mark on a generation. It influences every aspect of our lives including communication, mobility, learning, and so on… each generation has a few major technologies that shape their behaviors and lifestyle.MY NEW NORM Podcast-Email: mynewnorm@email.comCommunity / MERCH: www.mynewnorm.shopFaceBook: @mynewnormInstagram: @mynewnorm_podcastmynewnorm.buzzsprout.com/ / YouTube.com/@mynewnorm

The New Zealand Chambers of Commerce have warned that the Government's proposed ban on retail payment surcharges risks hitting small businesses with higher costs. Simon Bridges, CEO of the Auckland Business Chamber, acknowledged that the Government was trying to protect consumers from additional fees - but voiced concerns about what this ban could do for smaller operators. He says the ban isn't a cost-free exercise - and someone will have to pay the merchant fees. "It's either going to be through price hikes that consumers may not appreciate or understand - or it's going to be the poor old SME in areas like retail, hospo, tourism that are going to be having to find a way to pay for it."

July 18, 2025 was the last day of Wu-Tang Clan’s farewell concert tour, The Final Chamber. One of their stops was at Seattle’s Climate Pledge Arena, where KEXP’s Dusty Henry, Martin Douglas, and Larry Mizell, Jr. rapped alongside thousands of fans. We recap the concert and pay tribute to the group’s decades-long legacy. “Wu-Tang Clan is our generation’s equivalent of the Beatles — it’s not even close,” Martin asserts in the conversation. “They basically created an entirely new style out of an existing form of music. They wrapped up this whole mythology inside of it, from the use of samples to the aliases to, of course, the logo.” Photo Credit: Kyle Christy Support the show: kexp.org/deeper Support the show: https://www.kexp.org/sound/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The outcome of FTC v. Meta could reshape the social media landscape as well as U.S. merger policy. For the first time, the government is seeking to unwind two acquisitions more than a decade old, Facebook's purchase of Instagram in 2012 and WhatsApp in 2014. In its complaint, the Federal Trade Commission alleges that Facebook sought to eliminate threats to its social networking monopoly and ultimately harmed consumers through increased user ad loads and decreased quality and user privacy. Meta argues that the social media market is flush with competitors, including X, Snapchat, and TikTok, and that its investments helped both Instagram and WhatsApp expand rapidly. The trial concluded on May 27, 2025 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, and a decision is expected anytime.
