In 1656, Croatian stonemason Jure Grando was buried alive after defying powerful monks, only to rise from his grave and terrorize his village for sixteen years—knocking on doors that meant death would soon follow, violating his widow night after night, and when villagers finally opened his coffin in 1672, they found him grinning with tears streaming down his face, immune to wooden stakes, screaming as they sawed through his neck in what became Europe's first documented case of vampirism.Support our Halloween “Overcoming the Darkness” campaign to help people with depression: https://weirddarkness.com/HOPEIN THIS EPISODE: Before Dracula ever set foot in Transylvania, the village of Kringa, Croatia, was haunted by Jure Grando—the first recorded vampire in European history. For sixteen years, his undead reign brought terror to the living and torment to his widow. But when the villagers finally rose against him, they unearthed a horror beyond imagination. (Jure Grando: The First Vampire) *** For nearly a millennium, a monstrous black dog with eyes like burning coals has stalked the foggy coastlines and ancient churches of East Anglia, leaving death and terror in its silent wake. From its first recorded appearance in 1127 where it led a spectral hunting party through Peterborough, to its most infamous attack in 1577 when it allegedly killed four churchgoers, the creature known as Black Shuck has become far more than just another ghost story. Through centuries of sightings and evolving folklore, this massive demon hound has transformed from a Viking guardian spirit into one of Britain's most enduring legends - one that some locals insist still prowls the shadows of Norfolk and Suffolk to this day. (Black Shuck: East Anglia's Demon Hound) *** In 1857 London, the Bacon family's home became the center of supernatural chaos when mysterious sounds and flying objects drew crowds of over a thousand spectators to their modest Bermondsey residence. But when thirteen-year-old Caroline confessed to creating the ghostly disturbances using strands of hair to topple objects, her deception was revealed as an act of rebellion against her father and new stepmother. This tale of a fake haunting offers a poignant glimpse into Victorian family dynamics and the desperate measures one girl took to assert her independence. (The Bermondsey Poltergeist) *** In October 1975, what began as a late-night drive for two young men in rural Maine turned into an encounter that would haunt them forever. David Stephens had no memory of being taken aboard a massive UFO by mushroom-headed beings until months later, when hypnosis sessions revealed the terrifying truth about the hours he lost that night – an experience so profound that it would drive his friend Glen to flee the state and change both their lives forever. (Night of the Mushroom Men) *** Could the Moon's perfect positioning—exactly 400 times smaller than the Sun and precisely placed for total eclipses—be more than cosmic coincidence? Authors Christopher Knight and Alan Butler propose a mind-bending theory: that future humans (or their advanced robots) traveled back in time 4.6 billion years to construct the Moon, creating the exact conditions needed for life on Earth to emerge. Their provocative hypothesis suggests we might be caught in an infinite loop, with humanity traveling to the past to ensure its own creation, much like the ancient symbol of Ouroboros—a snake eternally consuming its own tail.

About Monica Walls:Monica Walls is a people-powered powerhouse with a passport full of stories and a heart wired for human connection. From the boardrooms of Silicon Valley to the sidewalks of global cities, Monica has always led with purpose, whether as an HR exec orchestrating change or as a volunteer rolling up her sleeves at food drives and walk-a-thons.But the corporate grind couldn't contain her creative spirit for long. Fueled by her Croatian roots, wanderlust, and a splash of bold lipstick, Monica stepped into her next chapter as the founder of Keca's Usna: a lip color line where every shade has a soul. Tired of formulas that flaked or felt uncomfortably sticky, she mixed science with sentiment to craft lipsticks that stay put and feel like a hug for your lips.Keca's Usna isn't just makeup; it's a love letter to heritage, storytelling, and the magic of being unapologetically you. Every hue celebrates individuality, every tube is rooted in values, and every swipe is a reminder: beauty is personal, powerful, and meant to be shared. In this episode, Jennie Bellinger and Monica Walls discuss:Corporate Life to Entrepreneurial JourneyLip Color Brand with Personal HeritageBuilding a Team and Delegating TasksProduct Development ChallengesConfidence and Trusting Entrepreneurial Instincts Key Takeaways:Monica's journey demonstrates that personal frustration with existing products can spark innovative business ideas.Connecting products to personal heritage creates a powerful narrative that resonates with customers, and the Croatian roots of Keca's Usna and meaningful color names transform lip color from a simple cosmetic to a storytelling medium.Successful entrepreneurs recognize their limitations and strategically bring in specialized talent.Creating high-quality lip color involves complex formulation processes beyond simple color mixing, meaning that rigorous testing, ingredient selection, and understanding customer needs are critical to developing a standout cosmetic product.Embracing vulnerability and learning from experiences can transform initial uncertainties into powerful entrepreneurial strengths. "Your business ethics and your core values are what make you up as a person. And for me, those things are non-negotiable.” — Monica WallsConnect with Monica Walls:  Facebook Business Page: https://www.facebook.com/kecasusnaLinkedIn URL: https://www.linkedin.com/in/monicawalls/Instagram Business Link: https://www.instagram.com/kecasusna/ Link to Gift from Monica Walls:Use the code BADASS15 for 15% off your total order!No minimum required order, and can be combined with a 10% discount for your  first-time orderLink: https://kecasusna.com Connect with Jennie:Website: https://badassdirectsalesmastery.com/Email:  jennie@badassdirectsalesmastery.comFacebook personal page: https://facebook.com/jbellingerPLFacebook podcast page: http://facebook.com/BadassDirectSalesMasteryFacebook group for Badass Crew: https://facebook.com/groups/BadassDirectSalesMomsInstagram: https://instagram.com/BadassDirectSalesMasteryPersonal Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedirectsalesdomme/LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/BadassDirectSalesMastery The Badass Direct Sales Mastery Podcast is currently sponsored by the following:Bella Grace Elixir: https://shopbellagrace.com/?ref=jenniebadassdirectsalesmasteryLeadBuddy Digital Marketing: Use code BDSM when checking out at https://leadbuddy.io/pro-monthly-9310?am_id=jennie582 Show Notes by Podcastologist: Hanz Jimuel Alvarez Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

On October 24, we observe the 104th birthday of the nonpareil Croatian soprano Sena Jurinac. Like Hildegard Behrens, whose prowess as a purveyor of art song we explored a few weeks ago, Jurinac was best known as an opera singer, specializing (in her case) in Mozart and Strauss heroines, though she was also beautifully suited to the Lieder repertoire. Jurinac was a singer of enormous warmth, poise, and humanity gifted with a voice that combined warmth and ease. It was her directness and spontaneity which, alongside her peerless musicianship and rock-solid vocal technique, has made her a favorite of many generations of lovers of great singing. Central to this episode is a rare 1976 album of Lieder by Johannes Brahms, which displays, even more than thirty years after her operatic debut, all her most treasurable qualities. The Brahms is supplemented by her 1953 studio recording of Ottorino Respighi's extended vocal chamber work Il tramonto, a setting in Italian of Percy Bysshe Shelley's poem “The Sunset”; as well as a rare live 1961 recording of Richard Strauss's “Im Abendrot” from his Vier letzte Lieder, like the Respighi a meditation on two souls at the setting of the sun. Countermelody is a podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and author yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing. By clicking on the following link (https://linktr.ee/CountermelodyPodcast) you can find the dedicated Countermelody website which contains additional content including artist photos and episode setlists.

The village of Dalmatia in Northumberland County is situated along the Susquehanna River, on land once owned by William Dunbar, an early settler who purchased the property from Thomas McKee in 1773. One enduring mystery of Dalmatia is how this inland village came to be named after a coastal region of Croatia, as early records indicate that no one of Croatian descent has ever lived there. Another mystery involves the strange deaths of three young children in the home of Charles and Ora Matilda Zeigler. After Ora took her own life by setting her home on fire and shooting herself in 1931, it was whispered that she had murdered her grandchildren with poison, for reasons that are just as mysterious as the name of the village where the triple tragedy occurred.

On 9 October 1934, terrorists murdered King Alexander I of Yugoslavia in a Marseille street. The Croatian ultranationalist Ustashe was behind the attack. The Ustashe hoped that the king's death would cause the collapse of Yugoslavia and the liberation of the Croat people. Murder in Marseille: Right-Wing Terrorism in 1930s Europe (Manchester UP, 2025) examines the circumstances, processes, and trajectories that shaped the Ustashe terrorists and their attack in Marseille. It brings questions about contemporary terrorism to bear on a historical attack: what prompts people to join terrorist organisations? How are these people ‘radicalised' to commit violence? What roles do women play in terrorism? Murder in Marseille bridges the scholarly gap between historical and contemporary terrorism, paying attention to, and often guided by, current concerns, ideas, theories, and notions about terrorist violence.

Jimmy Conrad, Charlie Davies, and Tony Meola welcome in Croatian legend and Hajduk Split Technical Director Ivan Rakitic for an unmissable conversation. Ivan opens up about his illustrious playing career (2:50), Croatia's World Cup magic (08:37), choosing between two national teams (15:52), and his time at Barcelona during the Messi era (19:54). Ivan reflects on playing alongside Jermaine Jones at Schalke (24:28), offers advice for the USMNT ahead of next year's World Cup (28:20), explains what Christian Pulisic can learn from Luka Modric (35:02), and reveals his all-time favorite teammates (38:15). The guys then turn the spotlight back on the USMNT following the September window. Mauricio Pochettino wants all the smoke (42:53), where Tim Ream should play (54:12), and the Gold Cup drama is finally in the rearview (59:40).

RUNDOWN   Plenty of sports heartbreak — from the Dolphins' ongoing struggles to the Seahawks' gut-punch opener. But there is relief in the Mariners' explosive bats and the Huskies' video-game offense, before shifting gears to launch the annual Beat the Boys contest, presented by Fireside Home Solutions. Listeners get the scoop on how to re-register, this year's lineup of “the boys” (including a new addition, Jason Puckett), and the all-important first password. Along the way, the guys swap birthday trivia, share a Pink backstory you won't forget, and set the stage for a packed show of Seahawks, Mariners, and college football talk. Mitch and Hotshot dive into the Seahawks' frustrating Week 1 loss to the 49ers, where Sam Darnold's quiet debut and Riq Woolen's costly miscues overshadowed a defense that couldn't quite finish the job. They debate Mike Macdonald's decision to kick on a crucial 4th-and-1, the missing downfield threat without DK Metcalf, and whether Seattle's “smashmouth” identity is more talk than reality. Shifting gears, the guys celebrate the Mariners' offensive eruption — 28 runs over two games — that keeps them two games up in the Wild Card race with 19 left, 13 at home. Hope rises in Seattle, but fans have learned to brace for heartbreak. Mitch welcomes Brady Henderson and Jacson Bevens to dissect Seattle's 17–13 Week 1 loss to the 49ers. The defense largely held its ground, limiting San Francisco to 17 points, but the offense sputtered behind Sam Darnold and a conservative game plan. The panel debates Mike Macdonald's critical fourth-down decision, the ongoing frustrations with cornerback Riq Woolen, and the lack of offensive balance despite Jackson Smith-Njigba's breakout. Mitch sits down with Joe Doyle and Brady Farkas to break down a much-needed rebound weekend for the Mariners. With Julio Rodríguez heating up, a rotation trying to steady itself, and 13 of the final 19 games at home, the M's are still firmly in the postseason race. The crew debates Seattle's playoff odds, the outlook for Jorge Polanco's contract, and the development of young catcher Harry Ford. Plus, they preview crucial upcoming series against the Cardinals and Angels as the AL West chase tightens. Rick Neuheisel joins Mitch to recap an eventful Week 2 in college football, from South Florida's upset of Florida to Oregon's early dominance behind quarterback Dante Moore. The two dive into Florida's coaching hot seat, Jedd Fisch's future at Washington, and why Arch Manning's mechanics and rhythm remain under scrutiny as Texas gears up for the SEC gauntlet. Neuheisel also hands out “Chicken Caesar soft tacos” to standout players and duos across the country before making his Week 3 pick: Texas Tech to roll big over Oregon State.   GUESTS   Brady Henderson | Seahawks Insider, ESPN Jacson Bevens | Writer, Cigar Thoughts Brady Farkas | Host, Refuse to Lose Podcast (Mariners on SI) Joe Doyle | MLB Draft & Mariners Analyst, Over-Slot Substack Rick Neuheisel | CBS College Football Analyst, Former Head Coach & Rose Bowl Champion   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | Mitch & Hotshot Return: Seahawks Frustrations, Dolphins Woes, and Beat the Boys is Back 6:18 | BEAT THE BOYS, Presented by Fireside Home Solutions.

Composer Jeff Danna (The Good Dinosaur, The Boondock Saints) joins me on The Film Scorer podcast just before we wrap up season 5! Oddly enough, I've listened to quite a bit of music from the Silent Hill franchise over the last 15 months or so, and it turns out that Jeff "scored" the two film adaptations from earlier in the 2000s (I used "scored" in quotes because the real story is a bit more complicated than that). So of course, I used our conversation as an excuse to ask all about Silent Hill, including why the first film never got a proper score release, and he tells me about having to re-record and re-create every single musical sound from Akira Yamaoka's game scores for the films. Quite a feat. Of course, Jeff didn't come on the show to talk about Silent Hill movies from 15-20 years ago. Instead, we spend most of our time talking about his score for the hit Netflix series The Hunting Wives. The conversation goes from creating a unique palette for east Texas (particularly through the Croatian prim), scoring sexiness (the key is not aiming for sexy music), and plenty more. Along the way, we get pretty in-depth about what makes for a good theme, when you need to cast one aside and start over, and how thematic music requires a commitment from the composer and the director; after all, the latter has to be comfortable with a a musical commitment to their characters, as character and theme become intertwined. Jeff's score, and much of his other music, is available on all major platforms while The Hunting Wives is currently streaming on Netflix. You can find out more about Jeff on his website.

Small Wineries Under Pressure: On today's AgNet News Hour, the Ag Meter hit the road for an on-location interview at Ziveli Winery, tucked between Kerman and Fresno. Host Nick Papagni spoke with John and CalebCaleb Caleb, who shared their family's rich Croatian winemaking roots, the challenges of keeping small wineries afloat, and what it takes to market wine in a rapidly changing industry. A Family Legacy in Wine John Nale explained how his grandparents immigrated from Croatia in 1928, eventually settling in the Central Valley and planting vines that would lay the foundation for generations of winemaking. Their winery today blends that family heritage with a modern vision for community, offering weddings, events, and tastings in a beautifully restored barn. “Every year we do a little project, and this is what we get,” John said, noting the pride in carrying on the tradition. Struggles Facing Small Wineries The Nales were candid about the headwinds California wineries face. Declining wine sales, high labor and equipment costs, and rising regulations have left many operations in the red. “There might be three or four wineries that are making any money,” John admitted. The family has been forced to take on off-farm jobs to make ends meet, with John warning that small wineries often need 1,000 acres and no debt to stay sustainable. Caleb added that younger consumers often see wine as intimidating, preferring seltzers, cocktails, or sugary alternatives like Stella Rosa. He emphasized the importance of educating new wine drinkers and offering sweeter, approachable wines to attract them. Wine slushies and canned wines may not appeal to traditionalists, but they're entry points for a new generation. Competing in a Global Market The interview also highlighted how imports from Italy, Chile, and Mexico are undercutting California growers. John noted it can even be cheaper to ship frozen grapes from Chile than to buy locally in Lodi. “If that's true, we have a lot of issues,” he said. High costs and strict regulations, they argue, are pushing small farmers to the brink while international competitors thrive. Despite the challenges, the Nales remain committed to keeping their family winery open. “We decided a long time ago that we're going to keep farming until we're made to put a sign up for sale,” John said. For the full conversation with John and Caleb Nale of Ziveli Winery, listen to the AgNet News Hour.

In this episode of "Normal World," Dave Landau and Angela kick things off while Garrett is away, sending love and support to him and his family. The show begins with Croatian free diver Vitomir Maričić shattering a world record by holding his breath for 29 minutes, followed by Gene Simmons celebrating his 76th birthday. From there, the conversation spirals into Starbucks bathroom chaos, Hollywood Boulevard encounters, and the stranger corners of Venice Beach. The panel then shifts to international headlines with India's Donald Trump effigy protest before turning to the bizarre saga of a California “serial butt sniffer.” Florida's rollout of AI drones designed to prevent school shootings sparks a wider discussion on SSRIs, overprescription, therapy, masculinity, and the Roman concept of virtus, with reflections on how social media reshapes modern connection and resilience. Later, Detroit crime reports collide with live police chases and debates over self-defense laws, raising questions about justice, fear, and restraint. The tone pivots again with a long comedic detour into Steven Seagal's late-career persona, from “chair-fu” fight choreography to his viral Russian dance moves. The episode wraps with Disney's push to recapture young male audiences, inspiring tongue-in-cheek pitches for reboots like "Lilo and Wick" and a bullet-dodging Donald Duck.

What if “wealth” wasn't about hitting some magic number in your bank account… but instead about clarity, cash flow, and confidence to live a life you never have to retire from?That's exactly what this week's guest, Brian Skrobonja, has helped thousands of high-net-worth entrepreneurs and business owners figure out over the last 30 years.Brian is a nationally recognized wealth advisor, a Forbes Top 10 podcast host, and the creator of the WealthSync Process—a system that goes way beyond rates of return to align your money with your life's bigger purpose.We dive deep into:Why most people define “wealth” the wrong wayHow to think about passive income beyond real estate or investmentsThe psychology of purpose after a business sale or big transitionThe tax blind spots that cost founders millions (and how to avoid them)If you're an entrepreneur who's built wealth, sold a business, or are staring down a transition—you cannot afford to miss this conversation.KEY INSIGHTS & TAKEAWAYS:Wealth Isn't a Number — It's Purpose-Driven Most people chase net worth goals… but often end up miserable. Brian reframes wealth as “funding your purpose,” not just padding your account.Cash Flow is King Assets alone don't equal freedom. Everything should be measured against one question: “How does this affect cash flow?”The Myth of Retirement You can retire from a job—but you don't want to retire from life. Align your money with activities, goals, and impact that keep you engaged and alive.Tax Blind Spots that Burn Millions Business exits, 401Ks, and charitable giving are often mishandled. The difference between structuring a deal before or after signing could be millions saved.The WealthSync Process Brian's proprietary system ties together lifestyle goals, business exits, philanthropy, tax planning, and legacy so your money actually funds your life.TIME STAMPS:[00:00:00] Introduction – Why “clarity, confidence & cash flow” matter more than chasing returns.[00:03:10] The #1 money mistake most couples and founders make.[00:05:51] Brian's backstory: from Croatian family work ethic to building a financial legacy.[00:08:56] The mindset shift from working harder → building passive income.[00:10:38] Introducing the WealthSync Process: aligning money with purpose.[00:14:07] Why $10M net worth can still leave people miserable.[00:16:36] Helping founders after business exits: the “Monday after the sale” question.[00:23:58] CPA blind spots, charitable strategies, and avoiding tax disasters.[00:29:27] Assets to Income: how to make your money actually work for you.[00:31:27] Everything comes back to cash flow.[00:32:33] Build a life you don't have to retire from.In this episode, I sit down with nationally recognized wealth advisor Brian Skrobonja to break down why the traditional wealth path is broken, how passive income actually works, and why wealth isn't a number—it's about clarity, confidence, and cash flow.If you're planning a business exit, sitting on a tax-deferred fortune, or just want to create reliable cash flow—you need this conversation.

Benfica has made their biggest summer splash, signing Croatian sensation Franjo Ivanović for €28 million!

It is only the second weekend, but this LaLiga campaign is shaping up to be a phenomenal one. Join Matt Clark (@MattClark_08) and Román De Arquer (@Aeroslavee) to dissect and analyse the second round of fixtures.Barça appeared to be heading for an early slip in defence of their title, trailing newly-promoted Levante at half-time. But Hansi Flick worked his magic again and produced another super-remontada, with the winner coming late to break Granota hearts. However, Flick and Román have a clear message: Don't sell Casadó.Villarreal barely needed 25 minutes to ensure they took another three points, as they demolished Girona 5-0 on Sunday. Tayjon Buchanan was the star of the show with the first hat-trick of the season, and a celebration to match. Currently top, how long can Marcelino's side stay there; where will this season of promise take them? As for the visitors, where do they go from here? Míchel was crestfallen and spoke pointedly and publicly after the game.What about Atleti? The sensations are not good after they stumbled once again. Despite taking the lead, they could only draw with newly-promoted — albeit extremely encouraging — Elche. With just one point from six, are they already out of serious contention for the title?After the break we look at Real Madrid and their 3-0 win over Oviedo. It wasn't quite as simple as the score-line suggested, but it was a deserved victory, spearheaded by the player Román says is the best in the league. We talk about interesting personnel decisions from Xabi Alonso, too. It could be a race for the ages.There was also an entertaining draw between Real Sociedad and Espanyol, a first win for Betis in their new temporary home, and Alessio Lisci's first victory coming courtesy of their Croatian swan.Ahead of Monday's matches, we try and predict who Getafe might lineup against Sevilla, especially if they sell Christantus Uche before kick off…You can subscribe for more content throughout every week.

Forest are back in for Strasbourg winger Bakwa and are set to battle Leeds for his signing! To Buy Wolfie A Coffee! Click Here: https://buymeacoffee.com/forestfantv Welcome to the latest transfer update on Forest Fan TV, where Nottingham Forest are gearing up for a fierce battle with Leeds United to sign Strasbourg winger Bakwa who's caught Forest's eye! The 22-year-old French winger has been on the Reds' radar for some time due to his pace, dribbling skills, and goal threat in Ligue 1, with reports suggesting a €20m-€25m transfer fee. Wolfie breaks down whether Forest can outmanoeuvre Leeds in this summer showdown, especially as Nuno Espírito Santo looks to bolster the attacking options alongside new arrivals like Douglas Luiz for the 2025-26 season. In other big news, we have an update on manager Nuno Espírito Santo's future amid ongoing speculation about a potential sacking by owner Evangelos Marinakis. Following the fiery press conference and recent tensions over transfers and results, sources indicate the situation remains tense, but Wolfie dives into the latest reports to assess if Nuno is staying or going—especially after the heated Crystal Palace clash. Will Marinakis pull the trigger, or will Nuno get the backing to lead Forest in Europe? Rounding out the updates, Forest are linked with a potential new goalkeeper in Dominik Livaković from Fenerbahçe, the Croatian shot-stopper who impressed at the 2022 World Cup and has been a mainstay in Turkey. With Matz Sels performing well but questions over depth, this €10m move could provide competition and security between the posts. Jump into the comments and let us know your thoughts on the Bakwa race, Nuno's fate, and if Livaković would be a smart signing!

In this episode of Pixelated Playgrounds Bryan and Josh explore Metal Garden, a short but atmospheric indie FPS from solo Croatian developer Alexandra Herout aka Tinerasoft. Set in a crumbling megastructure reclaimed by nature, the game blends old-school shooting mechanics with immersive environmental storytelling, subtle lore, and haunting mid-2000s aesthetics. Ammo scarcity, limb damage, and weighty weapons make every encounter tense, while double-jump platforming and cryptic logs reward exploration with glimpses into a forgotten Dyson-scale civilization. The game's sparse dialogue and ambient sound design evoke a sense of isolation and scale far beyond the game's runtime. So tune in as we dive into Metal Garden's bleak beauty and brutal combat while pondering the lingering question: Why do we keep descending?Three Word Reviews:Bryan - Subtlety is KeyJosh - Small Rusty Flower
