In June of 1975 we were exposed to one of the scariest movies ever made. For this podcaster, it's just not Independence Day until I watch it – and you still can't get me to swim in the ocean. We'll look at what made ‘Jaws' so successful… and so frightening. We'll also look at the true story of a string of shark attacks in 1916 that inspired the novel and the film. And while 1975's ‘Jaws' was inspired by a series of shark attacks but greatly fictionalized, the film ‘Open Water' from 2003 is based on a very real and terrifying story. But the truth behind the movie is a dark mystery that goes way beyond the horror of what you see in the film. We'll look at several other real shark attacks that are almost too incredible to believe, and also try to answer the question as to why shark attacks don't happen more often as you would expect them to, seeing as humans should be easy pickings.

In 1866, the Fenian Brotherhood, comprised primarily of Irish Civil War veterans, led a series of attacks on Canadian provinces just across the border from the United States. Their goal: seize Canadian territory and exchange it for Irish independence. Similar raids continued until 1871, and although they were ultimately unsuccessful, they are part of a greater story of the American Civil War, Irish Independence, and trans-Atlantic immigration to the United States in the mid-19th Century. In this episode, Bob & Ben speak with Christopher Klein about his book When the Irish Invaded America: The Incredible True Story of the Civil War Veterans Who Fought for Ireland's Freedom (Doubleday, 2019). Christopher Klein is an author and freelance writer specializing in history. He writes stories about the past that inform us about the present and guide us to the future. He is the author of four books, including Strong Boy: The Life and Times of John L. Sullivan, America's First Sports Hero, and a frequent contributor to history.com and many other media outlets. This is a rebroadcast of RTN #125, which originally aired on March 18, 2019. This version was completely reedited using Adobe's Enhanced Speech software by Ben Sawyer.

When Irish Vets of the American Civil War Invaded Canada in 1866

One year after the Civil War ended, a group of delusional and mostly incompetent commanders sponsored by bitterly competing groups riddled with spies, led tiny armies against the combined forces of the British, Canadian, and American governments. They were leaders of America's feuding Irish émigré groups who thought they could conquer Canada and blackmail Great Britain (then the world's military superpower) into granting Ireland its independence.The story behind the infamous 1866 Fenian Raids seems implausible (and whiskey-fueled), but ultimately is an inspiring tale of heroic patriotism. Inspired by a fervent love for Ireland and a burning desire to free her from British rule, members of the Fenian Brotherhood – a semi-secret band of Irish-American revolutionaries – made plans to seize the British province of Canada and hold it hostage until the independence of Ireland was secured.When the Fenian Raids began, Ireland had been subjugated by Britain for over seven hundred years. The British had taken away Ireland's religion, culture, and language, and when the Great Hunger stuck, they even took away her food, exporting it to other realms of the British Empire. Those who escaped the famine and fled to America were inspired by the revolutionary actions of the Civil War to fight for their own country's freedom. After receiving a promise from President Andrew Johnson and Secretary of State William Seward not to interfere with any military plans, the Fenian Brotherhood - which included a one-armed Civil War hero, an English spy posing as French sympathizer, an Irish revolutionary who faked his own death to escape capture, and a Fenian leader turned British loyalist – began to implement their grand plan to secure Ireland's freedom. They executed daring prison breaks from an Australian penal colony, conducted political assassinations and engaged in double-dealings, managing to seize a piece of Canada for three days.Today I'm speaking with Christopher Klein, author of the book WHEN THE IRISH INVADED CANADA: The Incredible True Story of the Civil War Veterans Who Fought for Ireland's Freedom. He brings light to this forgotten but fascinating story in history.

Let us know in the comments on this Facebook post - and tell us what the scariest scene was for you: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/bpacmhz5 IN THIS EPISODE: In June of 1975 we were exposed to one of the scariest movies ever made. For this podcaster, it's just not Independence Day until I watch it – and you still can't get me to swim in the ocean. We'll look at what made ‘Jaws' so successful… and so frightening. We'll also look at the true story of a string of shark attacks in 1916 that inspired the novel and the film. And while 1975's ‘Jaws' was inspired by a series of shark attacks but greatly fictionalized, the film ‘Open Water' from 2003 is based on a very real and terrifying story. But the truth behind the movie is a dark mystery that goes way beyond the horror of what you see in the film. We'll look at several other real shark attacks that are almost too incredible to believe, and also try to answer the question as to why shark attacks don't happen more often as you would expect them to, seeing as humans should be easy pickings.(Dark Archives episode from July 03, 2020)SOURCES AND ESSENTIAL WEB LINKS…“The True Darkness of Open Water” by Erin McCann for Ranker: https://tinyurl.com/y8vaqgra “The Real-Life Inspiration for ‘Jaws'” by Christopher Klein for History: https://tinyurl.com/yb5s35xc “The Horror of ‘Jaws'” by Jackie Flynn Mogensen for Mother Jones: https://tinyurl.com/y2mxf8us, Andrew Housman for ScreenRant: https://tinyurl.com/yae8ohh6, Meagan Navarro for Bloody Disgusting: https://tinyurl.com/y7p8q9lw, Tim Donnelly for the New York Post: https://tinyurl.com/y9twrcc7, and Rachel Paige for Hello Giggles: https://tinyurl.com/ycdlb6je“Real Shark Attacks” by Charles W.

In 1864, two ships' crews were cast away at the same time on the same remote island in the Southern Ocean. But the two groups would undergo strikingly different experiences. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll tell the story of the Auckland Islands castaways and reflect on its implications for the wider world. We'll also consider some fateful illnesses and puzzle over a street fighter's clothing. Intro: Lewis Carroll proposed fanciful logic problems.

Just over a year after Robert E. Lee relinquished his sword, a band of Union and Confederate veterans dusted off their guns. But these former foes had no intention of reigniting the Civil War. Instead, they fought side by side to undertake one of the most fantastical missions in military history: to seize the British province of Canada and to hold it hostage until the independence of Ireland was secured.When the Irish Invaded Canada is the untold tale of a band of fiercely patriotic Irish Americans and their chapter in Ireland's centuries-long fight for independence. Inspiring, lively, and often undeniably comic, this is a story of fighting for what's right in the face of impossible odds.HOST:  Rob MellonFEATURED BREW:  Smithwick's Irish Red Ale, St. James Gate Brewery, Dublin, IrelandBOOK:  When the Irish Invaded Canada: The Incredible True Story of the Civil War Veterans Who Fought for Ireland's Freedomhttps://store.thehistorylist.com/products/when-the-irish-invaded-canada-signed-by-the-author-christopher-klein?variant=39284788691009FEATURED MUSIC: The Mary Wallopers https://www.marywallopers.com/MUSIC:  Bones Forkhttps://bonesfork.com/

Christopher Klein, M.D., discusses how Mayo Clinic's updated, streamlined approach to confirmatory testing for the neuro immunological disorders myasthenia gravis and Lambert-Eaton Syndrome improves diagnostic accuracy. The testing method, a multi-step serology assay that automatically reflexes to second-line MuSK testing in cases where first-line serology is negative, increases sensitivity, specificity and yields 45% fewer false positives than traditional testing. Increasing accuracy of diagnostic confirmatory testing not only saves physicians' and patients' time, but optimizes treatment outcomes by minimizing unnecessary CT imaging and avoidable immunotherapy and thymectomy.

In June of 1975 we were exposed to one of the scariest movies ever made. For this podcaster, it’s just not Independence Day until I watch it – and you still can’t get me to swim in the ocean. We’ll look at what made ‘Jaws’ so successful… and so frightening. We’ll also look at the true story of a string of shark attacks in 1916 that inspired the novel and the film. And while 1975’s ‘Jaws’ was inspired by a series of shark attacks but greatly fictionalized, the film ‘Open Water’ from 2003 is based on a very real and terrifying story. But the truth behind the movie is a dark mystery that goes way beyond the horror of what you see in the film. We’ll look at several other real shark attacks that are almost too incredible to believe, and also try to answer the question as to why shark attacks don’t happen more often as you would expect them to, seeing as humans should be easy pickings.TRANSCRIPT FOR THIS EPISODE…Find a full or partial transcript at the bottom of this blog post: https://weirddarkness.com/archives/6801SUPPORT THE PODCAST…Become a patron: https://WeirdDarkness.com/WEIRDOVisit the Weird Darkness store: https://WeirdDarkness.com/STOREFind my social media, email and contact info: https://WeirdDarkness.com/CONTACTSTORY AND MUSIC CREDITS/SOURCES…(Over time links can and may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.)“The True Darkness of Open Water” by Erin McCann for Ranker: https://tinyurl.com/y8vaqgra “The Real-Life Inspiration for ‘Jaws’” by Christopher Klein for History: https://tinyurl.com/yb5s35xc “The Horror of ‘Jaws’” by Jackie Flynn Mogensen for Mother Jones: https://tinyurl.com/y2mxf8us, Andrew Housman for ScreenRant: https://tinyurl.com/yae8ohh6, Meagan Navarro for Bloody Disgusting: https://tinyurl.com/y7p8q9lw, Tim Donnelly for the New York Post: https://tinyurl.com/y9twrcc7, and Rachel Paige for Hello Giggles: https://tinyurl.com/ycdlb6je“Real Shark Attacks” by Charles W.

When Irish Vets of the American Civil War Invaded Canada in 1866

One year after the Civil War ended, a group of delusional and mostly incompetent commanders sponsored by bitterly competing groups riddled with spies, led tiny armies against the combined forces of the British, Canadian, and American governments. They were leaders of America’s feuding Irish émigré groups who thought they could conquer Canada and blackmail Great Britain (then the world's military superpower) into granting Ireland its independence. The story behind the infamous 1866 Fenian Raids seems implausible (and whiskey-fueled), but ultimately is an inspiring tale of heroic patriotism. Inspired by a fervent love for Ireland and a burning desire to free her from British rule, members of the Fenian Brotherhood – a semi-secret band of Irish-American revolutionaries – made plans to seize the British province of Canada and hold it hostage until the independence of Ireland was secured. When the Fenian Raids began, Ireland had been subjugated by Britain for over seven hundred years. The British had taken away Ireland’s religion, culture, and language, and when the Great Hunger stuck, they even took away her food, exporting it to other realms of the British Empire. Those who escaped the famine and fled to America were inspired by the revolutionary actions of the Civil War to fight for their own country’s freedom. After receiving a promise from President Andrew Johnson and Secretary of State William Seward not to interfere with any military plans, the Fenian Brotherhood - which included a one-armed Civil War hero, an English spy posing as French sympathizer, an Irish revolutionary who faked his own death to escape capture, and a Fenian leader turned British loyalist – began to implement their grand plan to secure Ireland’s freedom. They executed daring prison breaks from an Australian penal colony, conducted political assassinations and engaged in double-dealings, managing to seize a piece of Canada for three days. Today I'm speaking with Christopher Klein, author of the book WHEN THE IRISH INVADED CANADA: The Incredible True Story of the Civil War Veterans Who Fought for Ireland’s Freedom. He brings light to this forgotten but fascinating story in history.

Lee relinquished his sword, a band of Union and Confederate veterans dusted off their guns. But these former foes had no intention of reigniting the Civil War. Instead they fought side by side to undertake one of the most fantastical missions in military history: to seize the British province of Canada and hold it hostage until the independence of Ireland was secured."

In 1866, the Fenian Brotherhood, comprised primarily of Irish Civil War veterans, led a series of attacks on Canadian provinces just across the border from the United States. Their goal: seize Canadian territory and exchange it for Irish independence. Similar raids continued until 1871, and although they were ultimately unsuccessful, they are part of a greater story of the American Civil War, Irish Independence, and trans-Atlantic immigration to the United States in the mid-19th Century.

"Wir scheinen von einer digitalen Welt völlig in Beschlag genommen und lethargisch gemacht worden zu sein und nicht mehr zu realisieren, wie wir mit Karacho einer Endzeit zurasen." Was für ein Kontrast! Dieses Buch ist so ganz anders, als die Bücher, die ich bisher von den beiden Autoren Jens Helbig und Christopher Klein gelesen habe. Während die studierten Volkswirte in einigen ihrer Bücher dazu raten sich an die Börse zu begeben, um finanzielle Freiheit zu erlangen und es gar bis zum Millionär zu schaffen, stellen sie in diesem Buch, das System, mit dem diese ambitionierten Ziele zu erreichen wären, schonungslos an den Pranger und machen es für einen Großteil des Übels in der Welt verantwortlich.

Also hör mal rein. Im Newsletter Interviews immer auf dem neusten Stand und alle Updates zu unseren Kategorien erhalten.Ökoethinvesting – wie Nachhaltigkeit Teil Eurer Investitionen und des magischen Dreiecks wird. In dieser Folge des Hörspiels der besten Finanzbücher begrüßen wir mit Christopher Klein einen Bestseller-Autor und fortschrittlichen Investor. Chris verfasste bereits eine Vielzahl anderer Finanzbücher, wovon mit der Faulbär-Strategie (Kategorie: Börse) und Nine to Five muss nicht sein (Kategorie: Finanzielle Freiheit) zwei weitere Werke in den Top10 der besten Finanzbücher vertreten sind. Anlässlich seines neuesten Buches „Ökoethinvesting“ freuen wir uns Christopher im Podcast willkommen zu heißen und mit ihm über nachhaltiges Investieren zu sprechen. Er erklärt uns, was es mit seiner Begriffsschöpfung „Öko-eth“ auf sich hat und wie er darauf kam, ein Buch über Anlagemöglichkeiten mit nachhaltigem Hintergrund zu schreiben. Nachhaltigkeit – ein Thema, das uns alle angeht. Und dabei kann diese in verschiedenen Ausprägungen gelebt werden. In Ökoeth-Investing erklärt Chris nach welchen okölogischen oder ethisch-sozialen Kriterien Unternehmen bewertet werden können. Ziemlich eindrucksvoll sind seine Argumente, warum Nachhaltigkeit ebenso spannend für Deine Investitionsentscheidung wie die anderen drei Kriterien des magischen Dreiecks – Sicherheit, Rendite und Liquidität – sind. Neben unserem ausführlichen Gespräch über nachhaltiges Investieren sprechen wir mit Chris über seine persönliche Top 3 der besten Finanzbücher. Er bringt uns zwei Klassiker mit: Rich Dad Poor Dad von Robert T. Kiyosaki und Millionaire Fastlane von MJ DeMarco. Sein Platz 1 ist ein Newcomer für die besten Finanzbücher: The Go Giver von Bob Burgh und John David Mann. Fasziniert hat Chris daran, die Erkenntnis, dass „großzügiges Geben“ immer dazu führt, dass Du viel mehr zurückbekommst – zumindest langfristig. Und damit wären wir wieder bei der Nachhaltigkeit! Kurzfristige Rendite als Ziel macht weder im Privaten noch beim Investieren Sinn – durch nachhaltiges Handeln und Investieren – egal ob finanziell, zeitlich oder auf andere Art und Weise – führt langfristig zu einer stabilen Rendite, mindert Dein (Lebens-)Risiko und hilft Dir liquide zu bleiben. Alle Details über das Buch „Ökoetinvesting“ von Christopher Klein erfährst Du in der Folge 7 des Hörspiels der besten Finanzbücher. Nachhaltigkeit beim Investieren geht uns alle an – also hör rein in diese Folge und erfahre, ob das Buch ein guter Startpunkt für Deine nachhaltigen Investitionen sein könnte.

In January 1942, Mayor Fiorello La Guardia sent New York City police out on an important mission; their objective: to find and destroy tens of thousands of pinball machines. But some of pinball's most important innovations, including the development of flippers, happened in the decades that it was banned in New York and many other US cities. This week we dig in to the fun – and sometimes surprising – history of pinball.  Joining me in this episode is illustrator and cartoonist Jon Chad, author of Pinball: A Graphic History of the Silver Ball. I'm also joined by a special guest co-host, my son, Teddy.Our theme song is Frogs Legs Rag, composed by James Scott and performed by Kevin MacLeod, licensed under Creative Commons.
