Tonight we will be speaking to Seth and Seth writes "I grew up in Lynchburg, Virginia, and went to college there too. That's where this story took place. It's not a Bigfoot encounter at least I don't think it is. Honestly, I'm not sure what kind of encounter it was. All I know is that it happened to me. I've often wished someone could explain it, tell me what it was or what it meant. It happened on October 31, 2001, under a full blue moon, along one of the quietest stretches of the Blue Ridge Parkway. At the time, I was driving a 1970 Chevy Bel Air an old steel boat of a car and I had pulled into the James River overlook near Goff Mountain Road. It was close to midnight. The moon was so bright it almost felt like daytime. I shut the engine off and decided to stretch my legs. There's a small trail there that leads down toward a bench maybe a hundred yards from the parking area. I'd spent a lot of time in the woods so being out in the forest at night didn't bother me. I knew what normal nighttime woods felt like. And I also knew when something felt off. As I walked down the trail, the stillness felt unnatural. No breeze. No insects. No rustling. Nothing. I sat on the bench and looked through the bare branches while the moonlight spilled across the slope below. It was beautiful, but something about it felt wrong. Like I was being watched. Then I heard a Snap. A single limb breaking somewhere downslope, maybe fifty to a hundred yards away toward the Bellamy Creek drainage. At first I didn't think much of it deer snap branches all the time. Then it happened again. And again. What caught my attention wasn't just the sound it was the pattern. The breaks started coming from different directions. Not like one animal moving through the woods. I counted five, maybe ten distinct snaps, each spaced about four or five seconds apart. Then the timing changed. The snaps started coming faster… one every second or two… and they seemed to be moving in a circle around me. That was enough. Instinct kicked in, and I stood up and headed back to the car. When I got inside the car, I didn't start the engine right away. I just sat there with the keys in the ignition, ready to leave if I needed to. At first, nothing happened. Then something hit the hood. It sounded exactly like a Douglas fir cone hitting steel hard, solid, unmistakable. The problem was that there were no pine or fir trees there. Only deciduous trees, and by that time of year all their leaves had already fallen. There was nothing up there that could drop. Then another hit. Then they started falling faster like something was throwing them. They weren't rocks or dirt. Every impact sounded the same weight, the same size, the same hollow thunk of a heavy cone hitting metal. The hood, the roof, the trunk maybe even the sides of the car. But I couldn't see anything falling. Nothing bouncing off. Nothing rolling away. Just the sound. I looked up toward the treeline in front of me, expecting to see bare trunks and branches in the moonlight. Instead, I saw figures. At first I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. The shapes looked like people standing among the trees. They weren't trees. They were tall figures six to seven feet high wearing what looked like long hoods or cloaks. Completely black. No faces. No hands. Just darkness beneath the hoods. Some stood still. Others seemed angled toward me. It was like they absorbed the moonlight instead of reflecting it. I turned to my left, toward the grassy median beside the car, and saw more shapes there. Maybe three to eight of them, lying flat on the ground like bodies. Each time I looked away and then looked back, they were closer. But they never moved while I was watching. No sound. No crawling. Just different positions every time my eyes shifted. Then I noticed something near the driver's side of the car. Three smaller figures, only five to ten feet away. These weren't tall like the ones near the trees. They were crouched or hunched close to the ground, almost like children playing. Under each hood there was a faint flicker like someone trying to light a cigarette lighter that never quite caught. Meanwhile the impacts on the car were coming faster and faster. At that point, instinct completely took over. I turned the key, threw the car into Drive, and sped out of the overlook as fast as I could. As I pulled away, those smaller figures were right beside my door. If the window had been open, I'm certain I could have reached out and touched them. They just watched. I drove for about five miles before finally pulling over. Nothing had followed me. When I got out and inspected the car, there wasn't a single dent. No scratches. No debris. Nothing at all that explained what I had heard hitting the car. I've looked at that location on maps many times since then. But I've never gone back in person. Not once. I haven't even driven that stretch of the Parkway again. There's one detail that still bothers me, though. When I later looked at the spot on Google Maps, the overlook where I had parked appeared to be on the wrong side of the road. I clearly remember pulling into it on the right side from the direction I was traveling. But according to the map, it should have been on the left. I've tried to make sense of that for years, and I still can't. For a long time, I never told anyone about this." Now, I'm telling you."

2. Ryback introduces pivotal figures like Gregor Strasser, the party's socialist organizer, and Kurt von Schleicher, Berlin's ultimate power broker. He details the contrast between Hitler's fanaticism and Strasser's gregariousness. Additionally, he describes Franz von Papen as Schleicher's puppet and the SA's role in militarizing German politics.

At their peak, there were around 3,000 partially built housing estates in 2008 and 2009. Figures obtained by This Week show that at least 58 remain throughout the country. Eithne Dodd has been taking a look at the legacy of unfinished housing developments, known as ‘Ghost Estates'

AxisBIC, which drives innovation and supports start-ups in the Mid-West and South West, has seen an increase in the number of female entrepreneurs raising investment to grow their business. Figures for 2025 show that 35% of High Potential Start-Up (HPSU) approvals in the region were companies founded or co-founded by women, while 57% of Pre-Seed Start Fund (PSSF) approvals were female-led companies. AxisBIC, which works with businesses in Clare, Cork, Kerry and Limerick, revealed the figures ahead of International Women's Day as it encourages more women to take the leap into setting up their own company. Over the past five years at AxisBIC's flagship event, the Entrepreneur Experience, more than 50% of the participating businesses were founded or co-founded by women, far outstripping the national average of 25% to 30%. Figures show that these female-led businesses raised a total investment of €42 million. As well as the Entrepreneur Experience, AxisBIC organises a mini-accelerator and pitching event annually – the AxisBIC Venture Academy. Last year, Valentia Island Vermouth was named Most Investible Company and has subsequently been approved for PSSF funding and secured HPSU investment. Speaking about the win, founders Anna and Orla Snook O'Carroll said: "AxisBIC has been an exceptional support to us as founders, helping Valentia Island Vermouth strengthen our business strategy and prepare for long-term growth. Their guidance around planning, investor readiness and pitching was invaluable, particularly as 2025 became such a major milestone year for the company. We're proud to have secured PSSF funding, followed by HPSU investment, and AxisBIC's support was a key part of that journey. Being named Most Investible Company at the AxisBIC 2025 Venture Academy was also a brilliant endorsement of the progress we've made." The team at AxisBIC works closely with each entrepreneur to develop a well-tested business plan, raise investment, manage business propositions, and arrange agreements with shareholders and investors. The organisation has an extensive network of partners, including local authorities, universities, investors, business bodies and seasoned entrepreneurs across Ireland and internationally. CEO of AxisBIC, Larry O'Donoghue, said: "At AxisBIC, our commitment of supporting and advancing female-led startups is underpinned by a strong 'Give to Gain' ethos. The organisation draws on an extensive network of experienced entrepreneurs, investors and partners who mentor, coach and advise emerging founders. In addition, AxisBIC, together with the four Irish Business Innovation Centres (Irish BICs), has recently organised and supported Enterprise Ireland's newly established accelerator programme, NextWave. NextWave is the new National Women's founder Accelerator designed to empower women founders to validate, build and scale with confidence." Among the female start-ups supported by AxisBIC are Rosanne Longmore, of FemTech company Coroflo; Peigín Crowley, of health and wellness brand Ground Wellbeing; and Rena Maycock of Chirp, which is rewriting the script on mobile phone child protection. To mark International Women's Day, AxisBIC is co-hosting a webinar, 'Forging Collaboration and Sharing Entrepreneurial Success Stories to Balance the Scales', along with partner incubators in the EU and the Caribbean. The transatlantic conversation on Tuesday, March 10th, will feature female entrepreneurs from Jamaica, Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago, Ireland and Slovenia. Participating in the discussion will be Alice Carroll from Foxes Bow Irish Whiskey. Speaking ahead of the event, she said: "I have been driven by a mission to democratise whiskey. Building Foxes Bow Irish Whiskey has always been about challenging expectations and creating a more inclusive future for the category. AxisBIC has provided invaluable support through strategic business planning and a strong commitment to female entrepreneurs. I'm delighted to take part in the upcomin...

Tim Shearcroft,  CEO and Co-Founder of BP Silver Corp. (TSXV: BPAG), joins me for a review of some bonanza-grade final assay results from the remaining eight drill holes of its eleven-hole Phase I drill program at the Cosuño Silver Project in Bolivia. We discuss the follow up geophysics survey and goals of the Phase II exploration program. Additionally, the Company is working on finalizing the title at their Titiri Project, located in a major under-explored silver belt with Tier 1 discovery potential.   Phase I Highlights:   Drilling intersected multiple zones of high-grade silver mineralization at the Pocañita Chica target: Diamond Drill Hole # CO-0008 returned 5m @ 600.4 g/t silver, including 1m @ 1655 g/t silver; Diamond Drill Hole # CO-0009 returned 1m @ 526 g/t silver and 6m @ 147 g/t silver. The Program achieved its primary objective of confirming silver mineralization within the lithocap beneath surface geochemical anomalies, materially de-risking Cosuño. Silver mineralization was intersected in all four targets tested across an approximately 2.7 km NE-SW corridor, confirming the presence of a robust silver and polymetallic system which remains open for expansion along strike and at depth.   The Program successfully tested key zones along a 2.7 km structural trend, returning significant silver intercepts at the 4 targets tested to date (Figures 1 to 3):   Pocañita Chica – Broad mineralized envelopes with high-grade silver intervals hosted in hydrothermal breccias. Pocalleta – Structurally controlled vein mineralization confirming depth potential. Jalsuri – High-grade silver intercepts with gold 2.7 km northeast of Pocañita Chica, indicating district-scale continuity. Benhur – Additional silver mineralization along the same structural corridor.   Additionally, their team is working with the government to finalize obtaining the title to begin exploration on their Titiri Project.  Titiri was staked over a large land concession containing outcropping mineralization historically explored by ASARCO.  This Project contains a 2.5km-long silver-lead-zinc zone, with excellent historical trench results, that was never drilled. Titiri is a very High Priority structural setting at the intersection of several major crustal-scale faults, along which multiple deposits occur.  There is a MOU in place with local communities, and they'd like to get on the ground for exploration in mid-2026.     If you have any questions for Tim regarding BP Silver, then please email those into me at Shad@kereport.com.   Click here to follow the latest news from BP Silver Corp   For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

Tonight we're stepping away from the deep woods and into something different. Something that's been keeping me up at night for the better part of two years as I've tracked down these accounts. This is a special episode exploring the Hitchhiker Effect — the terrifying phenomenon where people visit locations of high strangeness and something follows them home.We're not talking about a feeling or an overactive imagination. We're talking about shadow figures at the foot of the bed, objects moving on their own, electronics going haywire, and entities that seem to feed on fear and attention for weeks or months before finally letting go. The term was coined by Dr. Colm Kelleher during his years as lead scientist on the Skinwalker Ranch project, but what most people don't realize is that this phenomenon extends far beyond one ranch in Utah. It's been documented at battlefields, swamps, mountain ridgelines, and remote valleys all across this country for decades.In this episode we cover six accounts spanning from 1978 to 2023. We start in the Uintah Basin with a cattle rancher who encountered a pulsating orange orb on a mesa and spent the next several months living with a shadow entity that terrorized his family and killed one of his horses. From there we head to Chickamauga Battlefield in northwest Georgia, where a veteran paranormal investigator and his team brought something back from one of the bloodiest pieces of ground in American history — something that filled their homes with the smell of decomposition and the sound of agonized moaning.We follow a pair of Oregon newlyweds who stumbled onto what the local Native American community called a spirit road and spent eight months being stalked by a shadow entity in their own apartment. A West Virginia sheriff's deputy walks into a sealed bunker in the Point Pleasant TNT area and encounters an orb containing dark humanoid figures, only to have his six-year-old daughter start seeing what she calls "the blue man" standing in her closet.A Boston documentary crew filming at Hockomock Swamp in the Bridgewater Triangle watches three synchronized orbs rise out of the water and spends the following months dealing with rearranged furniture, phantom knocking, and an intrusive voice whispering "come back."And finally, a podcaster and paranormal researcher visits the San Luis Valley in Colorado and learns the hard way that studying these phenomena from a safe distance is an illusion — because the distance can collapse at any moment.Six witnesses. Six decades. Six locations from coast to coast. All connected by a pattern so consistent it'll make the hair stand up on the back of your neck. They visited a place. They were noticed. And something came home with them.This is one of the most unsettling episodes we've ever produced.

Democrats RAGING After Trump's State Of The Union Address! Andrew Branca. 16 Minute Documentary on Voter Fraud.   MEDIA REACTS! Democrats RAGING After Trump's State Of The Union Address! Andrew Branca. At the State of the Union, President Trump asked lawmakers to stand if they agreed with a simple principle: the first duty of government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens. Many Democrats refused. The moment sparked fierce backlash, viral clips, and crushing post-speech polling showing overwhelming approval from viewers. Was it political theater — or a revealing moment about party priorities? Constitutional stakes, the Save America Act, birthright citizenship debates, sanctuary policies, and why this single visual moment may shape the 2026 midterms.

The High School and Primary School workforce look to be grappling with two different kinds of challenges. Figures from the Ministry of Education show last year they were expecting a shortfall of 880 secondary school teachers to come. That has now risen to 1220 for this year and next. In Primary schools meanwhile, there are teacher shortages expected in Taranaki, Northland, Waikato and Bay of Plenty. Auckland Principal Kyle Brewerton spoke to Melissa Chan-Green.

Are you chasing unstable freight lanes instead of building predictable revenue? Are your sales efforts consistent enough to survive any freight market cycle? Dive into this episode to learn more! In this episode, I break down the following:  Lane stability — like the Fort Myers, Florida to Richmond, Virginia flatbed lane is a perfect example of how predictable pricing, strong carrier relationships, and reliable coverage create long-term success in freight brokerage and logistics operations.  Real market insights on outbound Florida freight, why paying carriers fairly secures capacity, and how focusing on dependable lanes beats chasing cheap trucks every time.  Freight broker sales strategy, including owning your local market, defining your ideal shipper profile, and committing to disciplined daily cold calling, follow-ups, and CRM-driven workflows that actually build pipeline momentum.  At the end of the day, success in transportation and supply chain sales isn't about market conditions — it's about consistency, operational discipline, and building trust with both carriers and customers to create repeat business and sustainable freight brokerage growth.

Hey there! It's Michael here — and welcome back to English Tips in a Minute from Happy English. I'm here every Saturday with a short, simple tip to help you speak English more naturally and confidently.Before we get to today's English point, I need your help.  Episode 1000 of the Happy English Podcast drops on February 28, and I'd really love to include you in it.If you've been listening for a while and this podcast has helped you in any way, please send me a short message — about 20 to 40 seconds. Just tell me your first name, where you're listening from, how long you've been listening, and how the podcast has helped you.You can record it on your phone in a quiet room and email the audio file to me at michael@myhappyenglish.com . If you'd rather write a message instead, that's totally fine too.Some of your messages will be featured in Episode 1000. Please send them by February 27. I can't wait to hear from you.Today, let's look at another really natural conversational phrase — “that figures.” We use that figures when something happens that we expected, especially when it's typical or slightly annoying. It often has a little bit of sarcasm in it.Like if the train is late. You might say:  “The train's late again? That figures.”Or maybe your friend always forgets things.  “Jack forgot his wallet? That figures.”So that figures basically means, “Yep… I'm not surprised.” Usually in a slightly frustrated or sarcastic way. Just remember, your tone matters. If you say it lightly, it sounds funny. If you say it strongly, it can sound more annoyed. So next time something predictable happens, try saying “that figures.” It's short, natural, and very conversational.Lemme know in the comments if you've ever said “that figures,” and remember to follow or subscribe so you don't miss the next Happy English Podcast and next week's English Tips in a Minute. Hey, thanks for listening — and until next time, keep learning and keep it cool.Happy English Podcast – Speak English Naturally I'm Michael from Happy English, and I help people speak English more naturally, confidently, and clearly.

James is the managing partner of Equity Value Advisors, advising brand executives and investors that are seeking guidance on how to accelerate e-commerce revenues and to align e-commerce and physical retail distribution and pricing strategies. Formerly, James was the chief strategy officer at Big Box Experts, a managed services agency supporting brand executive teams selling online, as well as private equity investors evaluating brands sold on Amazon. He has also served as the business head of Amazon Services, the division of Amazon responsible for recruiting tens of thousands of sellers annually to the Amazon Marketplace. He also served as the first fulfillment by Amazon Account Manager and prior to Amazon. James was a management consultant and retail banker. So with that introduction, James, welcome to the podcast.James 00:00:56  Thank you for having me today, Josh.Josh 00:00:58  On that note, James, I mean, we talked a lot about different strategies that people can be implementing to move from seven figures to eight figures and beyond. What would be like your actionable advice for them to say, hey, this is what I would do first, second, third.James 00:01:13  So the first thing I would do, we actually haven't talked about yet. First thing I would do is I would start to delegate tasks to people and clear up your plates so you can spend more of your time thinking about how to go and source better products, how to do more research to find those product gaps in your catalog that you can start to fill. How to start thinking about new channels that you might expand into. When I think of the day to day activities of what it takes to run an Amazon business, there's an awful lot of stuff that, quite frankly, we don't really like doing. You got to check reports. You got to check seller central. You got to check your inventory. You probably got to talk to your, three people if you've got one that's bringing products in from overseas. There's a lot of activities that need to be looked at. And I didn't even talk about, oh, you got to file 20 seller support tickets today. All that kind of stuff you need to be saying to yourself, even though I think I can do this better than anybody else in the world.James 00:02:08  The reality is, there's only so many hours in the day you need to go hire a VA or outsource this to a trusted colleague who, you know, make. Of course you know it's going to cost you money, but the money that you spend to have somebody do a lot of these repetitive tasks or tasks that you don't really like doing, that frees you up to do much higher value added stuff to drive your overall business. If you've got more time to be doing new product research and thinking through, okay, where is there opportunity for me to potentially expand my product line? where do I need to start thinking about culling out some of the products in my products? Because quite frankly, not all this stuff has turned out to be gold. You've got to have time to think through those bigger questions. And the only way to do that is to start outsourcing some of the mundane that comes with running an Amazon business. as you get better at outsourcing that and accepting the fact that, yeah, you know, this other person who's taking on these tasks may not be quite as amazing at doing it as I am, but quite frankly, I don't need amazing, I need confidence.James 00:03:10  And the more you can get competent help to help you with many of these tasks, the more time you free up to work on other types of activities. When my partner, business partner and I were running our Amazon agency, we did everything we put on every hat imaginable to run that business. And as we started to outsource certain tasks and get more comfortable with listen, we can outsource most of this stuff with high confidence to people, as long as we train them properly and we're patient and we get them up and running. All of a sudden we now had a multiplier effect. We have a multiplier effect. That's when the genius of being a business owner starts to really kick in. And yeah, you know, wouldn't you love to have five other people who is as strong and intelligent and good looking as you are to be there with you? I don't need that. I need 3 or 4 highly competent people in each of their specific areas to help me pursue different responsibilities so that I can go and tackle some of these bigger, long term questions.James 00:04:04  That's the stuff that really starts to matter, and that's the stuff where I get excited because I r...

Trading time for money has a hard ceiling. We sit down with Kate Walker—therapist, founder of Kate Walker Training, and the mind behind a top-tier 40-hour supervisor course—to unpack how a deeply niche offer, smart email funnels, and member-driven upsells turned specialized expertise into a seven-figure business. The shift didn't happen overnight: it started with state rule changes that opened the door to hybrid learning, followed by a bold move to a fully online program released right before COVID pushed demand into the stratosphere.Kate walks us through the decisions that mattered: focusing on a small set of durable search terms instead of chasing broad SEO, using AI to identify cornerstone content and internal links, and building trust quickly through live webinars, a podcast, and YouTube. We talk about the system behind list growth—a single memorable bonus link, rotating freebies inside Podia, tagging and funnels that meet prospects where they are—so every new listener or reader can take the next step with ease.Revenue scale came from reshaping the product, not just selling harder. Kate split one flagship course into three offers, added a membership to sustain value, and baked in upsells at checkout with well-timed save sequences when members consider canceling. She shares how capturing Google reviews, routing feedback intelligently, and constantly improving the content made price increases both fair and effective. Then we zoom out to the big leap: taking the course nationwide despite complex state-by-state rules. With SOPs, a trained team, and clear metrics, that expansion becomes a series of repeatable projects—and a path to more freedom, more impact, and more time for family.If you're ready to scale beyond the calendar, this conversation gives you a practical blueprint: start with an opt-in that truly helps, teach live to compress trust, write to the search terms that already bring buyers, and let your funnel run long enough to work. Subscribe, share this with a colleague who needs the nudge, and leave a review to tell us which tactic you'll try first.Read more HEREIf you want deeper coaching, more transparency, and the episodes that actually help you make decisions faster in your business, then subscribe to Unhinged.Support the show

SAVE America Act (Election Law & Voter ID) Core Argument The SAVE America Act would: Require proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote Require photo ID to vote Democrats are portrayed as unanimously opposed, preventing passage due to the Senate’s 60‑vote threshold.
