Kia ora e te whānau. It's always a party in the Blue Mountains. From the out-of-this-world scenery, to the amazing people, to the exceptional country that carries you, the Blue Mountains have it all. Add to this mix the atmosphere and celebration of Ultra Trail Australia being a UTMB world major, and you have a recipe for an incredible time. This year's UTA live special is in three parts. In part one, Ali and Matt speak to UTA miler athletes, Vlad Shatrov, Kellie Angel, and UTA22 guns Ben Duffus and Sara Levett at the first of the DCR live shows. Part two sees Matt head out onto the trails, with the 50km athletes, speaking to Sweep Manager and running legend Jane Trumper, adaptive athlete Mick Marshall, Father and Daughter duo Harry and Jess, and some Fairmont aid station action. We then head to Part 3, where we speak to some of the 50 and 100km runners. We try to crack Dan Jones' media training, we find out that a gorilla has no chance against 100 Caitlin Fielders, we sizzle in Beth McKenzie's laser focus, and dig into 2023 UTA100 winner George Murray's road to redemption in 2025.

En el video de hoy te contaré 4 Leyendas de Terror Canadienses Que Te Harán Tener Pesadillas, como el Wendigo, una criatura del norte que nace del canibalismo y te persigue incluso desde dentro de tu mente si lo llegas a nombrar; La Dama de Gris del hotel Fairmont en Banff Springs, una novia fantasma que cayó por las escaleras antes de llegar al altar y que ahora aparece cuando menos lo esperas; The Screaming Tunnel, un pasadizo olvidado donde aún se escucha el grito de una niña que murió envuelta en llamas, y si te quedas hasta el final, conocerás una de las historias más aterradoras de Canadá: el Ogopogo, una antigua entidad acuática que habita el lago Okanagan y que, si pronuncias su nombre ancestral, puede despertar.
Episode SummaryIn this very special episode, Bobby Bosler shares an exciting announcement and a deeply personal journey of faith. Speaking from Matthew 14, he draws parallels between Peter's step out of the boat and the major life change God has led him and his family into — accepting the call to pastor Fellowship Baptist Church in Fairmont, West Virginia. Bobby testifies to God's guidance through uncertainty, showing how surrender and obedience open the door for God's miraculous provision and peace.Topics DiscussedStepping out in faith when God's leading feels impossibleThe story behind the call to pastor Fellowship Baptist ChurchHow God uses closed doors and lack of peace to redirect our stepsWrestling with calling, gifting, and identity in ministryEncouragement to follow God's call even when it requires major life changesKey TakeawaysGod's leading often requires taking a step into the impossible. Like Peter walking on water, faith demands stepping out based on God's command, not on visible certainty.Closed doors are part of God's guidance. The lack of peace about repairing or replacing the trailer was God's way of preparing the Bosler family for a completely new direction.Gifting doesn't limit God's calling. Even as an evangelist, Bobby discovered that God could use him to pastor and shepherd a local church, showing that God's calling often stretches us beyond our assumptions.Obedience leads to peace. When Bobby and his wife yielded to the possibility of pastoring, God flooded their hearts with undeniable peace and clarity.A big step of faith inspires others. Just like Peter's step inspired worship in the boat, your obedience can ripple out to encourage others to trust and follow Christ.

Today on the Invest In Her Podcast, host Catherine Gray talks with Jane Ubell-Meyer, a former TV and film producer turned entrepreneur and founder of Bedside Reading. With an impressive career producing for major networks like GMA, Entertainment Tonight, and WSJ-TV, as well as films like Leona Helmsley: The Queen of Mean, Jane transitioned her creative talents into the hospitality space. Eight years ago, she launched Bedside Reading—a literary amenity placing books in luxury hotels such as the Waldorf Astoria, Fairmont, Conrad, Taj, and Kimpton. The program has since expanded to include audiobooks, eBooks, meditations, author podcasts, and magazines. Jane is also the author of the Amazon #1 Bestseller From Wanting to Having It: A Guide to Manifesting Anything, and is set to debut the Bedside Reading Audiobook Collection on April 8th. In this vibrant conversation, Catherine and Jane dive into the evolution of Bedside Reading and how Jane carved a unique niche at the intersection of publishing, wellness, and luxury hospitality. Jane shares her journey from Hollywood to entrepreneurship, how she curates content that enhances hotel guest experiences, and her passion for helping authors get discovered in innovative ways. The episode also touches on the powerful manifestation practices that inspired her book and how she's using those same principles to expand her brand even further. Entrepreneurs, authors, and wellness seekers alike will find plenty of inspiration and practical advice in this engaging episode. —----------------- Note from Jane Ubell-Meyer: For every membership purchased, we will donate a membership to a charity for the blind to help their people! WHY am I doing this? My dad's best friend, Roger, experienced two separate incidents where the retina of his eye(s) detached. He went 100% blind in his 70's. The Lighthouse Guild in NYC helped him cope with life after this tragedy. My dad took him there every single day. I was always amazed at how he helped so many people—I thought audiobooks were an excellent gift for these people. Rick and I are reaching out to charities for the blind across the USA to offer a free membership for every membership purchased. PS...Roger ended up leaving millions to that charity. https://www.bedsidereadingaudiobooks.com/ For $5 off, use code: ANGELS https://www.showherthemoneymovie.com https://svwomenfoundersfund.vc www.sheangelinvestors.com Follow Us On Social Facebook @sheangelinvestors Twitter (X) @sheangelsinvest Instagram @sheangelinvestors & @catherinegray_investinher LinkedIn @catherinelgray & @sheangels
Stop Cop City: Imaginary Crimes Tour This week, we're sharing an interview with Selena who speaks about the "Stop Cop City: Imaginary Crimes Tour" and Jordan, a RICO defendant from the Stop Cop City 61 case. The two speak about anti-repression, about where the case is at right now and a wider view of resistance and support. The tour will be hitting over 60 cities (not all in the USA) From their tour announcement: 61 people are facing RICO trials in Atlanta for alleged involvement in resistance to the construction of Cop City. The State uses imaginary associations and crimes, framed as RICO, as a means to break solidarity and momentum when movements are strong. Anti-repression is a response that uses an alternate imagination to strengthen solidarity and resistance. In Spring 2025, a nationwide tour will visit over 60 cities to discuss the history of the Atlanta forest, the resistance to Cop City, history of RICO, ongoing legal updates and facilitate discussions on anti-repression and movement defense. Through this tour we aim to share the lessons we have learned across struggles, and adapt to the evolving repressive forces so that we can continue to move bravely together. Stay updated here: www.instagram.com/sccimaginarycrimestour/ linktr.ee/sccimaginarycrimestour tinyurl.com/SCCImaginaryCrimesTourUpadates (announcements only signal chat) If you want some more content on the struggle, check out this really interesting episode of Audio Interference, a podcast associated with the Interference Archive in Brooklyn's Park Slope neighborhood featuring materials from and discussion of a September 2024 installation entitled "Archiving Stop Cop City: This Is Not A Local Struggle" To hear past episodes of ours on the Stop Cop City movement, check out this link.

You can learn more about Peppy & his co-defendant Krystal (who just had a birthday!) at their support site May we find inspiration and creativity in these challenging times. Let us be guided by friendship and self determination. May we mind our pace, study our ancestors, listen to our storytellers and run towards expansive freedom and autonomy.

Our usual guests talk about journeys that they chose to embark on: starting a company, solving a problem, creating opportunities, or navigating life and career. In our current series, we're probing into a trip that none of us opted into but we're all aboard anyway…and that is artificial intelligence. AI influences what we see, hear, buy, and think, how we navigate the world, and how we navigate daily life. In this episode, we talk with Dr. Bob Morais, a business anthropologist and expert in human behavior, particularly in the realm of marketing. Dr. Morais had a 35+ year career in advertising and market research and is a Lecturer at Columbia Business School. Morais digs into how AI is used today, the opportunities and pitfalls, how AI stretches the range of possibilities, AI "hallucinations" and why it's best utilized as a partner and collaborator rather than a substitute. Morais was a Principal/Co-owner of a market research firm and spent years with advertising agencies rising to the role of Chief Strategic Officer. He has worked with Coca Cola, Danone, GlaxoSmithKline, Johnson & Johnson, Post Foods, Proctor & Gamble, Safeway, WD-40, Fairmont, Raffles, and Swissôtel, and many others. His books include Advertising and Anthropology; Ethics in the Anthropology of Business; and The Language of Branding. His articles have appeared in Forbes, Advertising Age, Huffington Post, American Anthropologist, Human Organization, Culture and Organization, and Medium.

Join the original "Chairman Emeritus" Chris Moran (who now prefers conducting symphonies to podcasts), Brian (who claims learning to land with only lap belts builds character), Ben (inventor of the "emergency fuel-venting seven-mile left base"), Ted (representing the "other" coast that apparently exists), and Mark "One Dull/Wendell" Geek (master of conflating tail numbers into entirely new aircraft types) for a night of hangar-based chaos.

Welcome to the daily304 – your window into Wonderful, Almost Heaven, West Virginia. Today is Saturday, Aug. 10, 2024. Marshall's film degree program creates opportunities for a Fairmont resident as the city pitches in on her capstone project…Cool off at the new splash pad at Twin Falls Resort…and Barnwood Living offers chic tiny cabins for rent in Almost Heaven…on today's daily304. #1 – From TIMES WV – Firefighters from the Fairmont Fire Department waited for their cue outside the Marion County Courthouse. On Trinity Rollins' orders, they unleashed a jet of water into the air and the droplets splashed down on students from Shawna Santee's 5th Street Center for Dance. Rollins, 21, used the power of movie magic to recreate one of her younger experiences in Fairmont. Her professor told students to write what they know. So Rollins wrote about one memorable performance from 2021 when her dance class performed in the rain after a city parade was canceled. The short film, “It's Only a Parade,” was part of Rollins' capstone project at Marshall University in which she had to pitch, plan and script a film project. Rollins put her production together at the same time more opportunities for video and film production are beginning to pop up in West Virginia. Tax incentives for film production have returned at the state level. At the same time, Marshall launched the state's first bachelor's degree program in filmmaking in the fall.

Splash park users can also enjoy a lounge area and a small refreshment and retail area that sells a variety of frozen treats, drinks, snacks, logo apparel and beach towels. The splash pad was part of a $4 million bond project that included rebuilding the Twin Falls Resort Pro Shop, which opened in the spring of 2023.

Bowe is the host of the hit TV show “Barnwood Builders,” where he and his crew preserve and repurpose historic log homes. His latest project is the perfect combination of old materials used in a new style–log cabin tiny homes. “We get at least 500 people from out of state that come to the store every month,” Bowe says. Now those visitors can stay in a cabin Bowe and the builders constructed just for them. Over the last year and a half, he and the crew have been hard at work building tiny cabins behind their store. The Spa City Cottage and the Big Draft Timberframe are available for rent via Airbnb. And the Dry Creek Cabin will be ready for visitors this fall. The cabins are equipped with modern amenities and make a great place to stay for visitors exploring the Greenbrier Valley. Check out wvtourism.com to learn more about the region.
