It started in the middle of the night, with no warning and no obvious cause. In a quiet Wichita duplex, a man woke to the sound of something crashing down on him — not falling, not tipping, but thrown with force. Days later, it happened again. This time in broad daylight. Heavy objects launched from places they shouldn't have been able to move on their own, as if something unseen was making a point. He wasn't new to strange experiences. Flickering lights and subtle signs had followed him for years. But this was different. This felt deliberate. Angry. Close. So he did the only thing he felt might stop it. This story raises a simple question: when something crosses the line from playful to violent, how do you know what you're dealing with — and whether it's ever truly gone? #RealGhostStories #ParanormalPodcast #TrueGhostStory #HauntedHouse #PoltergeistActivity #Unexplained #ParanormalEncounters #ObjectsMoving #AggressiveEntity #HauntedLife Love real ghost stories?

Mick Weinholt's life has been marked by profound loss and miraculous survival. After the devastating stillbirth of his firstborn son Luke, Mick and his wife found themselves crying out to a God they knew of but had never truly known. This heartbreaking loss became the catalyst that transformed them from people with intellectual knowledge of Christianity into believers with genuine faith. Their journey through grief, including a subsequent miscarriage and the eventual blessing of three living children, reveals how tragedy can reshape not just individual lives but entire family trajectories. Before becoming a father, Mick survived a near-fatal avalanche on a Colorado mountain at age 19. With catastrophic injuries including a skull broken in three places, a shattered jaw, and his scalp split wide open, he walked out alone, only to find a stranger named Steve waiting in the car park with no explanation for being there. Now hosting his own podcast "When You Look," Mick collects stories from ordinary people experiencing extraordinary moments, inviting listeners to decide whether these events are mere coincidences or evidence of God at work in the modern world.

Transcript:Da: Inde i det travle rum i Københavns startup inkubator hang julelysene i loftet og klingede blidt mod hinanden.En: Inside the busy room of Københavns startup incubator, Christmas lights hung from the ceiling and gently clinked against each other.Da: Rummet var fyldt med ivrige iværksættere, der alle drømte om at blive den næste store succes i tech-branchen.En: The room was filled with eager entrepreneurs, all dreaming of becoming the next big success in the tech industry.Da: Silja stod nær et lille bord, hendes app på skærmen foran hende.En: Silja stood near a small table, her app displayed on the screen in front of her.Da: Hun tog en dyb indånding og rettede skuldrene.En: She took a deep breath and straightened her shoulders.Da: Det var en vigtig dag.En: It was an important day.Da: Silja var ambitiøs.En: Silja was ambitious.Da: Hun drømte om at lancere sin app, som skulle forbinde lokale kunstnere med købere.En: She dreamed of launching her app, which aimed to connect local artists with buyers.Da: Hendes søster, Maja, havde besluttet sig for at tage med som støtte.En: Her sister, Maja, had decided to come along for support.Da: Maja, selv om hun var skeptisk, var der for Silja.En: Maja, although skeptical, was there for Silja.Da: “Jeg tror på dig, Silja,” sagde Maja blidt, mens hun holdt en kop varm gløgg.En: “I believe in you, Silja,” Maja said gently, while holding a cup of warm gløgg.Da: Et par meter derfra stod Erik med en tablet i hænderne.En: A few meters away stood Erik with a tablet in hand.Da: Han var en dygtig softwareudvikler, men skeptisk over for nye projekter, da han tidligere havde oplevet nogle fiaskoer.En: He was a skilled software developer but skeptical about new projects after experiencing some failures in the past.Da: Men der var alligevel noget ved arrangementet, der tiltalte ham.En: However, there was something appealing about the event.Da: Han lyttede til de forskellige pitches, mens han spekulerede på potentielle samarbejder.En: He listened to various pitches, pondering potential collaborations.Da: Da Erik nåede Siljas stand, fangede noget hendes opmærksomhed ved hans rolige og analytiske væsen.En: When Erik reached Silja's booth, something about his calm and analytical demeanor caught her attention.Da: Hun tog chancen.En: She seized the opportunity.Da: “Hej, jeg er Silja,” sagde hun og gav ham hånden.En: “Hi, I'm Silja,” she said, extending her hand to him.Da: “Jeg tror måske, du vil kunne lide min app.” Erik lyttede opmærksomt, mens Silja passioneret forklarede sin vision.En: “I think you might like my app.” Erik listened attentively as Silja passionately explained her vision.Da: Han kunne lide hendes entusiasme og den klare idé.En: He liked her enthusiasm and clear idea.Da: Men han tøvede stadig lidt.En: But he still hesitated a little.Da: Silja svarede ivrigt på hans spørgsmål, men hun mærkede frustrationen vokse.En: Silja eagerly answered his questions, but she could feel frustration growing.Da: De andre startups var stærke konkurrenter.En: The other startups were strong competitors.Da: Midt i deres diskussion blinkede lysene et par gange og gik derefter ud.En: In the middle of their discussion, the lights flickered a few times and then went out.Da: Pludselig stod de i halvmørke, kun oplyst af de julelys, der stadig glødede.En: Suddenly, they were in semi-darkness, only illuminated by the Christmas lights that still glowed.Da: “Det her komplicerer det,” sagde Silja med et grin, mens hun fiskede en kuglepen og et papir op fra tasken.En: “This complicates things,” Silja said with a laugh, fishing out a pen and paper from her bag.Da: “Lad os gøre det på gammeldags måde.” Under de glødende lys begyndte Erik og Silja at skitsere idéer.En: “Let's do this the old-fashioned way.” Under the glowing lights, Erik and Silja began sketching ideas.Da: Måske var det juleånden, men Erik begyndte at føle en ny optimisme vokse i sig.En: Perhaps it was the Christmas spirit, but Erik began to feel a new optimism growing within him.Da: “Du har virkelig noget her,” sagde han og smilede til Silja.En: “You really have something here,” he said, smiling at Silja.Da: Pludselig var strømmen tilbage.En: Suddenly, the power returned.Da: Skærmen foran dem blev lys igen, og deres noteside var en rodebunke af idéer.En: The screen in front of them lit up again, and their notes were a jumble of ideas.Da: Men de havde nået et gennembrud.En: But they had reached a breakthrough.Da: Silja strålede.En: Silja beamed.Da: “Vi gjorde det!” udbrød hun.En: “We did it!” she exclaimed.Da: Erik nikkede, lettere overrasket over at finde sig selv så begejstret for et nyt projekt.En: Erik nodded, somewhat surprised to find himself so excited about a new project.Da: "Vi skal fejre det her," foreslog han.En: "We should celebrate this," he proposed.Da: “Lad os tage en festlig middag.” Sammen gik de ud i den kolde, vinterbeklædte aften i København, med Maja ved deres side.En: “Let's have a festive dinner.” Together, they stepped out into the cold, winter-clad night in København, with Maja by their side.Da: Silja havde lært at lade andre hjælpe og stole på dem omkring hende.En: Silja had learned to let others help and trust those around her.Da: Erik havde fundet ny tro på nye muligheder.En: Erik had found new faith in new opportunities.Da: Snart sad de på en hyggelig restaurant, og med varme retter foran sig og smilene lysende, fejrede de begyndelsen på deres partnerskab og opdagelsen af tillid.En: Soon they were sitting in a cozy restaurant, with warm dishes in front of them and smiles shining, celebrating the beginning of their partnership and the discovery of trust.Da: Julelysene omkring dem spejlede en ny begyndelse og nærhed.En: The Christmas lights around them reflected a new beginning and closeness.

If you've checked out last week's episode, you'll know that it was Jeremy Burgess who first described riders as 'flickering lightbulbs'. Why? Because the moment they start to fail, you just replace them with a new one. Cruel, yes, but that's MotoGP for you. You can be one of the twenty fastest riders alive - but all that matters is that you're always just a little slower than the next guy. You've been demoted to dead wood, to borrow another term from Burgesss. Good luck, and goodbye!So maybe you're one of those riders who didn't appear last episode. Maybe you thought this meant you were safe. Bad luck, buddy: that means Mat and Peter just haven't gotten to you yet!Want more? Visit our website or support us on Patreon.

Who's got six thumbs in total and is back in their own recording booths, with audio that won't melt your ears off? That's right, it's the Oxley Bom MotoGP Podcast! Now, if your are a rider and are currently enjoying some well-deserved R&R, you might want to turn off this podcast. Because they might be off the bike, but that doesn't mean they're off the hook.This week, we're taking a page from the book of Jeremy Burgess when he said: "Really, riders are like light bulbs: if they start to flicker you screw one out, and put another one in." It's a ruthless and mean thing to say, but MotoGP can be a really ruthless and mean sport. And nobody is more ruthless and mean than your hosts Mat and Peter, right?So come join us in our first part of a two-episode rider review. We'll be doing the 'deadwood' (another Burgess-coined term!) this week, and hand out our best-of-class awards next week. So press play, and hope you're not mentioned in this episode...Want more?

og folk blev for at beundre Astrids magiske juletema.En: Freja's bread quickly sold like hotcakes, and people stayed to admire Astrid's magical Christmas theme.Da: Da stormen var ovre, var standen næsten tom for varer.En: By the time the storm was over, the stall was nearly empty of goods.Da: Mikkel kunne ikke tro sine øjne.En: Mikkel couldn't believe his eyes.Da: De havde solgt alt.En: They had sold everything.Da: "Vi klarede det!"En: "We did it!"Da: udbrød han, fuld af lettelse og glæde.En: he exclaimed, full of relief and joy.Da: Astrid lo, og Freja smilede bredt.En: Astrid laughed, and Freja smiled broadly.Da: "Måske er lidt magi, hvad vi altid har manglet," sagde Astrid kækt.En: "Maybe a little magic is what we've always needed," Astrid said cheekily.Da: Mikkel havde lært, at man kan kombinere praktisk sans med en snert af kreativitet.En: Mikkel had learned that one can combine practicality with a touch of creativity.Da: Astrid så værdien i lidt planlægning, og Freja var nu mere villig til at tage chancer.En: Astrid saw the value in some planning, and Freja was now more willing to take chances.Da: Sammen havde de skabt noget særligt.En: Together, they had created something special.Da: Som solen begyndte at titte frem gennem de brydende skyer, vidste Mikkel, at de kommende vintermåneder ville blive lettere.En: As the sun began to peek through the breaking clouds, Mikkel knew that the coming winter months would be easier.Da: De ydmyge begyndelser på deres stormvejrede marked havde gjort dem alle lidt rigere – på mere end én måde.En: The humble beginnings at their storm-battered market had made them all a little richer—in more ways than one.

Here are some of the main topics we covered, along with the specific home projects our callers are working on: - Cool Tips for Heat Wave Home Comfort: We share several strategies to help your home stay cool during a heat wave without escalating energy bills. - Backyard Pool Considerations: We weigh the pros and cons of installing a pool, noting that while pools offer entertainment and can add value in hot climates, they come with significant initial costs and ongoing maintenance expenses. - Home Safety While Traveling: We offer essential tips to keep your home safe while on vacation, emphasizing making it appear occupied. - Smart Roofing Upgrades for Cooling: We discuss how your roof impacts your home's temperature and energy bills, highlighting cool roof designs that reflect more sunlight and absorb less heat. - Grill Cleaning & Maintenance: We've got practical tips on cleaning and maintaining your grill to ensure better flavor, extend its lifespan, and provide a safer cooking experience. Q & A: - Allison from New York needs advice on humanely trapping a squirrel running between her drop ceiling and basement. - Gary calls about a stubborn barbecue grease stain on the deck that household soap couldn't remove. We suggest using a commercial deck cleaner or stain stripper. - Nancy from Arkansas asks for the best way to remove cobwebs and clean her mom's popcorn ceiling. - John from Missouri is puzzled why his pressure-treated wood is rotting within two years despite being sealed with a solid stain. - Judy from Minnesota observed moisture halfway down the paneling in her 40-year-old home, suspecting condensation and the need to reduce humidity. - Earl called about buckling vinyl siding, likely due to being installed too tightly. Doing so prevented proper expansion and contraction, or not enough “breathing room.” - Robin from New Jersey says her ceiling fan light comes on by itself at weird times. Flickering lights often indicate a loose wire or short circuit, and we recommend calling an electrician for investigation. ASK A QUESTION: Need help with your own home improvement or décor question?

In this second message from Evidence of the Exclusivity of Jesus, Dr. Michael Youssef unveils Christ not only as the divine Healer but as the Refiner of faith. When a desperate nobleman pleads for his son's healing, Jesus offers more than physical restoration—He calls the man to deeper trust. Instead of rushing to Capernaum, Jesus simply declares, “Your son lives”—and the man believes. Through this encounter, Dr. Youssef powerfully proclaims that God desires more than our cries for help; He desires steadfast, unshakable faith in who He is. Christ's miracles are not for spectacle—they are signs pointing to His divine identity. As Jesus transformed this father's flickering faith into fire-tested belief, He calls every believer to grow into bold, immovable trust, regardless of our circumstances.

Electrical Safety Awareness: Controlling Hidden Hazards Why Electrical Safety Matters Electric power keeps every conveyor, lift truck, and light in your facility moving. Yet the same current that drives production can stop it cold, with injuries, fires, or costly downtime. Electrical safety isn't a luxury; it's a fundamental part of an efficient and resilient operation. Loose wires, wet floors, and portable gear appear ordinary, but they rank among the top electrical hazards in industrial settings. The good news? Most incidents can be traced back to preventable human actions. A strong safety culture targets those actions before trouble starts, protecting people, product, and profit. How Small Actions Prevent Big Shocks Even seasoned teams can drift into risky shortcuts. A quick plug-in, an overloaded strip, or ignoring a breaker that trips “just once” can create a chain reaction. Staying alert to electrical hazards in industrial settings keeps that chain from forming. Stay Shock-Free in the Facility Here are a few tips to assist you with electrical hazards in industrial settings: Treat every wire as live until a qualified person verifies otherwise. Lock out and tag it before reaching for cutters or a tester. One cautious minute beats hours in the clinic. Respect circuit limits. Extension cords and power strips aren't extra breakers. Spread the load, follow the manufacturer's ratings, and replace damaged cords immediately. Keep water far from the current. Floor scrubbers, leaks, and even condensation create paths for electricity. Dry spills quickly, raise cords off wet areas, and install GFCI outlets near wash zones. Always use grounded or double-insulated tools. If a handle shows a nick in the insulation, tag it out for inspection. A tool that hums or shocks slightly is a loud warning—don't ignore it. Monitor your electrical “tells.” Flickering lights, warm plugs, or breakers that trip more than once signal hidden faults. Report them promptly so maintenance can fix the root cause, not just reset the switch. Building a Resilient Electrical Safety Culture Electrical safety works best when it's woven into daily habits. Encourage coworkers to speak up when they see frayed cords or blocked panels. Recognize quick reporting as much as perfect production numbers. When people understand that their voice matters, near-misses decrease and uptime improves. Every inspection, pre-shift chat, and toolbox talk that highlights electrical hazards reinforces safe behavior. Keep training short, practical, and regular. Review real facility examples so lessons stick longer than the meeting. Safety guidelines back these steps, but consistent action turns words into protection. Thank you for joining us for another episode of Warehouse Safety Tips. Until we meet next time – have a great week, and STAY SAFE! #Safety #SafetyFIRST #SafetyALWAYS #StaySafe #SafetyCulture #ElectricalSafety

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Marj Charlier, author of the book The Candlemaker's Woman. Marj Charlier is the author of eleven novels and three novellas. The Rebel Nun (Blackstone 2021), based on the true story of a nun who led a rebellion in the sixth century, won first place in both fiction and historical fiction from the Colorado Independent Publishers Association awards in 2023. The Candlemaker's Woman was published by Sunacumen Press in 2024. She has taught memoir and fiction writing workshops at libraries, book festivals and OLLI programs, and has been a board member of several local writers' guilds, and enjoyed residencies at the Dorland Mountain Arts Colony and the Vashon Island Artist Residency. Marj began her writing career at daily and mid-size newspapers before joining the Wall Street Journal as a staff reporter in 1984. After twenty years in journalism, she began a second career in corporate finance before retiring to write novels. In her book review, Carole O'Neill stated: “The Candlemaker's Woman takes place during the period of the barbarian migrations into the late Roman Empire. Not a period I read a lot about. My history lesson kept interfering with the memoir of a young girl sold into slavery by her mother for safe passage into Gaul. She promises to find her daughter as soon as they are able to cross the Rhine. “As Melia waits for her mother's return, life with her new family consists of near starvation as she learns how to stretch scraps of food to avoid starvation. She even finds ways to live through the brutal sexual assaults during the nightly visits by her new master. Her only relief seems to come in learning how to make candles. She becomes an expert at the craft and uses her knowledge to her advantage when the soldiers come looking for slaves. “Throughout the book Melia shows the character of a much older woman, learning to become strong while enduring the life of a slave. I found myself rooting for her as she ran through town searching for help in delivering her friend's baby. “Marj's character descriptions are vivid and real. Her research is notable. Putting it down was harder than I thought. Waiting for a sequel might be asking too much.” Subscribe to Online for Authors to learn about more great books! https://www.youtube.com/@onlineforauthors?sub_confirmation=1 Join the Novels N Latte Book Club community to discuss this and other books with like-minded readers: https://www.facebook.com/groups/3576519880426290 You can follow Author Marj Charlier Website: www.marjcharlier.com FB: @MarjCharlierAuthor IG: @marjcharlier X: @AuthorMarj LinkedIn: @Marj Charlier Purchase The Candlemaker's Woman on Amazon: Paperback: https://amzn.to/4jkXu3s Ebook: https://amzn.to/3FZ3aSr Teri M Brown, Author and Podcast Host: https://www.terimbrown.com FB: @TeriMBrownAuthor IG: @terimbrown_author X: @terimbrown1 Want to be a guest on Online for Authors?

This episode's theme is new diseases, whether they are newly described, or old diseases back in a new form. We start off with IgG4-related disease, a chronic multisystem disorder that is still being understood. Then there is a genetics paper on repeat expansion disorders, a group of conditions often thought as disparate but with quite a few commonalities. Next along is a fascinating case following gastric sleeve bariatric surgery, highlighting the dangers of travelling for unsupervised surgeries, and raising the question, “Are you getting enough soil in your diet?” There's also a discussion of what else Hoover's sign might represent, and the evolution of immunoglobulin use. Closing the episode is a paper offering a masterclass on the assessment of best interests in prolonged disorder of consciousness.

Story One – Who are the Shadow People? Flickering in and out of existence, sometimes only for a split second, sometimes longer, but always transient, they leave only questions in their wake. What are their intentions? Where do they come from? Why do they appear? Who or what are the Shadow People? Story Two – The Curse of the Dab Tsog During the 1980s, A Nightmare on Elm Street first introduced audiences to the iconic horror character, Freddie Kruger. But as unsettling as the movie was, the true story that inspired director Wes Craven's creation of the supernatural killer is equally disturbing. In this story, we examine the terrifying curse of the Dab Tsog.

Two mannequins walk into a science lab, and one's got a big tick problem. She can teach humans how to check for ticks. Also, researchers used citizen science observations and machine learning to understand where fireflies are and what they need to thrive.In Wisconsin, Mannequins Help Teach People How To Spot TicksNationwide, Wisconsin is a hot spot for Lyme disease. And cases are rising, as climate change and development alter how humans interact with the ticks that transmit this disease. In Wisconsin, cases reported annually have more than doubled in the last two decades.With tick season underway, tick checks are one of the most important ways you can prevent infection. I recently visited the Midwest Center of Excellence for Vector-borne Disease, which is housed at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where researchers are using a new tool to teach people how to do tick checks — mannequins.Read the rest at sciencefriday.comProtecting A Flickering Symbol Of Summer NightsWhen people talk about watching fireflies, a common comment is “You know, I don't see as many fireflies as I used to.” Researchers are trying to figure out whether that impression is actually accurate, and which of the over 2,000 firefly species might be affected—and to do so, they need a lot more data. A recent paper published in the journal Science of the Total Environment used over 24,000 citizen science observations as well as machine learning models to try to better identify where certain species of fireflies can be found, and what types of habitat and climate they need to thrive.Dr. Sarah Lower, a firefly researcher at Bucknell University and a co-author of the study, joins guest host Annie Minoff to talk about some ways to protect fireflies near you, including preserving darkness and providing moist, permeable, natural soils for firefly larvae.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

LED lightbulbs. Flickering fluorescent bulbs. Laptops, iPads, smartphones. What is artificial light doing to our health? And can we mimic ancestral, healing light (like the light of fire or the sun) in our homes to mitigate the damage and/or boost our mood and wellbeing? Brian Hoyer of Shielded Healing is an expert on EMFs and the effect of light on our health. Today he gets specific about the damage our modern light can do to our health: from causing eye issues, to weight gain, to headache to lowering energy and melatonin production (needed for better sleep and improved digestion). He also goes over what we can do to improve our "light hygiene" at home to foster better health, improved energy levels and a more positive mood.
