We have so much to tell you about!  In this episode, we dig into the life of Storme DeLarverie, a man who was born to a black mother and white father.  Mom was a servant and Dad was wealthy.  Because he was a child of black and white parents he was never issued a birth certificate and chose to celebrate his birthday on December 24th.  His dad paid for his education but he was raised mostly by his grandfather.  He joined the Ringling Brothers Circus as a show rider and began to get on stage at Jazz Clubs at only 15.  He would travel Europe with a jazz ensemble before returning to the United States where he joined the Jewel Box Revue.  The Jewel Box was at the time the only interracial drag show and it toured all over the country even to military bases.  And Storme became the show's lone drag king and emcee.  He was on hand at the Stonewall when the infamous uprising began in New York City aand may have been the one to kick off violence.  He later went on to become the Guardian of Greenwich Village in this, wow this was a true American episode of the Family Plot Podcast.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/family-plot--4670465/support.

101 The Impact of AI and Labor Market Trends | Cary Sparrow, CEO of WageScape   The Entrepenudist Podcast  https://entreprenudist.com AI is transforming how companies hire, pay, and compete for talent and no one understands that shift better than Cary Sparrow, Founder and CEO of WageScape. In this episode of The Entreprenudist Podcast, Cary shares insights from decades of experience in engineering, the U.S. Navy, consulting, and technology leadership. He explains how data and artificial intelligence are reshaping recruiting, pay transparency, and the overall labor market. We dive into:

Robin Ince and Brian Cox wind up at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich – arguably the centre of time – to uncoil the mysteries of what time is and how on Earth (…and on moon) we keep track of it. Taking the time to join them are comedian Marcus Brigstocke, curator of the Royal Observatory Louise Devoy, and Head of the National Timing Centre Leon Lobo.From ancient Egyptian knuckle counting to sun dials, quartz oscillators and atomic clocks, the panel turns back time to discover how we measured and kept it throughout history. Together, they dial into why Greenwich has become such an important place for time and how time is synchronised and sold across the globe. They explore the flaws and future of accurate astronomical and atomic timekeeping, and Marcus blames the ‘leap second' for his fry-up failures.Producer: Olivia Jani Series Producer: Melanie Brown Executive Producer: Alexandra Feachem A BBC Studios Production

Year-End Giving Reminder:  The last few weeks of the year are when most charitable giving happens — people feel more generous, tax benefits kick in for those who itemize, and many folks use year-end bonuses or appreciated stock to support causes they believe in. It's the perfect moment to make a meaningful impact, especially with an organization that stretches every donor dollar farther than you ever could on your own.   Why United Way Might Be One of the Smartest Ways to Give Back To Business Monday You know how I like to start a Monday: a little caffeine, a little optimism, and a whole lot of "let's get back to business." And today's business? The business of helping people — and why the United Way may be one of the most effective ways to do that in your own backyard. I sat down with David Rabin, CEO of the Greenwich United Way, and even though we talked about his local chapter, the lessons apply EVERYWHERE — because what he shared is an example how United Ways across the country (and the world!) operate. The Big Picture: United Way is a massive global network with: • 1,200 local United Ways • Serving 1,800 communities • Across 40 countries Each community has its own United Way chapter focused on local needs — and that local focus is what makes the entire model powerful.   Why United Way Might Be a Better Choice Than Donating to One Charity Directly This was the "aha!" moment for me — and it applies no matter where you live. 1. United Way does the homework you don't have time for. They review each nonprofit's tax returns, audited financials, budgets, spending, and program data with a fine-tooth comb. They uncover inefficiencies and issues most donors would never spot. 2. They maximize your impact by giving where the greatest needs actually are. Local needs change constantly — mental health, childcare, housing, literacy, food insecurity — and United Way chapters run formal needs assessments to know exactly where donor dollars matter most. 3. One donation supports the entire ecosystem of help in your community. Instead of supporting one organization, your gift can strengthen dozens of essential local programs — the ones people rely on when life gets hard. 4. They build solutions when none exist. For example, in Greenwich, CT the local United Way partnered with the hospital to create a youth mental-health program where no such resource existed before. That kind of long-term, structural change is happening in communities all over the country.   A Greenwich, CT Example That Applies Anywhere David shared that even in a wealthy town like Greenwich, nearly one-third of residents are living in poverty or are one paycheck away from trouble. Surprising, right? That's the point. Every community — even the ones that look well-off — has people struggling quietly. United Way chapters exist to find those hidden needs and do something about them.   A Final Thought from Your "Dealer in Hope" I love shining a light on the people doing good in the world and this conversation was a beautiful reminder that real impact doesn't happen in headlines — it happens in communities, one need at a time. Wherever you live, your local United Way is probably out there doing the heavy lifting you never see… making sure kids can read, families can access mental-health care, seniors have support, and struggling neighbors get help before they fall through the cracks. So, if you're thinking about year-end giving — and wondering who deserves your "deductible dollars" — United Way might be a pretty great place to start.   To learn more about United Way in your community:  unitedway.org If you want to learn more, donate, volunteer, or get involved in the Greenwich, CT United Way: greenwichunitedway.org 203-869-2221 And to hear the full conversation with David Rabin, CEO Greenwich United Way click play on the podcast and soak up the good energy.

In this first opening episode of Season Ten (TEN?!), host Andrew welcomes family historian, author, RootsTech and TEDx speaker, former CEO of the Society of Genealogists and now the CEO of the Black Cultural Archives - Dr. Wanda Wyporska.THE LIFE STORY - THEODORE JOSEPH PAUL Wanda has chosen to tell the Life Story of her Great Grandfather, Theodore Joseph Paul, who was born in East Stonehouse, Devon in 1888. While she never met him, her grandmother would regularly speak of her father, and this therefore gives Wanda a fondness and curiosity of his life.Theodore was sent off, without his family, at the age of 12, where Wanda has found him at the Royal Greenwich Hospital School in Greenwich, London.Wanda is soon able to trace him through Naval records - of which there are plenty - and she can see that he travelled the world with them, but was drawn back to the UK, where he also became a member of the Freemasons.In 1912, he marries Nellie Mabel Turpin... sparking off a family rumour that the infamous highwayman Dick Turpin was also a relative. Theodore and Nellie start their family which includes Wanda's grandmother.Despite travelling the world with the Navy, there's something that keeps drawing him back to the city of Chester in Cheshire, UK.THE BRICK WALL - RICHARD HOLMES and SARAH NANNY ROGERS We're looking for clues in Barbados to help Wanda solve her Brick Wall, as she looks for the origins of her 3x Gt Grandparents Richard Holmes and Sarah Nanny Rogers.Richard appears to have been born in 1797 and died in 1849, It is believed that Sarah was a freed woman who owned slaves, but in this period, Wanda explains a few scenarios that may have meant that Sarah had enslaved people and Wanda hopes to unravel this story one day.Sarah marries Richard Holmes on 28th September 1844 in Christ Church, Barbados, but Wanda would love to know the origins of Sarah Nanny Rogers.If you think that you can help Wanda with a research clue or idea, then you can contact her via her Twitter account, or alternatively, you can send us a message and we'll pass it along to her.In the meantime.... while Wanda accepts Andrew's offer of help, she's struck by a sense of déjà vu....- - -Episode CreditsAndrew Martin - Host and ProducerDr. Wanda Wyporska - GuestFind your genealogy course from Pharos Tutors today.Support the showThank you for listening!

Struggling with costs in your healthcare organization? Reach out to Michael.  Click Here for more info In this insightful conversation, Michael D. Levitt, Founder and Chief Burnout Officer of the Breakfast Leadership Network, sits down with Cary Sparrow, founder of Wagescape, to explore the turbulent evolution of the modern labor market. Adapting to a Rapidly Changing Workforce Cary reflects on the past decade of transformation in employment trends, driven by the pandemic, artificial intelligence, and wage inflation. He compares leading through these changes to navigating whitewater rapids — requiring adaptability, clear focus, and quick course corrections. Over ten years, Wagescape has grown by bringing transparency and real-time insight to the labor market, helping businesses make smarter workforce decisions. AI's Uncertain Future Path Michael and Cary dive into the unpredictable trajectory of artificial intelligence, drawing parallels to the early dot-com era. With two AI patents under his belt, Cary shares that while AI's potential is enormous, not all current initiatives will endure. Both agree that innovation often comes from unexpected sources — not just the big tech players dominating the headlines. Implementation and Strategic Caution Cary shares a story about a promising AI project that quickly became obsolete due to rapid advancements. Together, he and Michael discuss the importance of balancing early adoption with strategic caution, particularly in fields like hiring and finance, where AI's cost-saving appeal must be weighed against the need for accuracy and accountability. AI Meets Healthcare and Employment Drawing on his background in healthcare leadership, Michael recalls working with an ethics officer who helped make tough medical decisions using data-driven insights. He compares this to how AI could analyze healthcare and employment statistics while maintaining human oversight. He suggests that large language models could forecast labor trends over the next 6 to 12 months — a potential game-changer for workforce planning. The Future of Hiring and Education Cary and Michael examine the increasing demand for data-informed hiring, where AI serves as a predictive enhancement rather than a replacement. They discuss how universities must evolve their curricula to align with shifting market skills, and how business leaders often struggle to trust data that challenges traditional gut instincts. Evolving Data Resistance Cary highlights a cultural shift: clients are no longer rejecting data outright but are instead asking smarter questions about its sources and implications. This evolution reflects a growing collaboration between data providers and decision-makers — a key step toward data literacy and trust. As industries accelerate toward an AI-integrated future, this episode offers grounded, real-world insight into how leaders can adapt, stay curious, and lead through uncertainty.   About WageScape (formerly Greenwich.HR) At WageScape, we believe leadership begins with clarity—and clarity comes from having the right data at your fingertips.

Impact That Speaks Volumes

L'émission 28 minutes du 23/10/2025 Cartographier le monde, un enjeu de pouvoir En octobre 1884, le méridien de Greenwich est adopté comme standard international et reste jusqu'à aujourd'hui le méridien de référence pour les Européens. Il est essentiel pour la cartographie numérique, qui nous guide, et est à l'origine de notre organisation du temps. Ces “cercles imaginaires” disent beaucoup de notre représentation du monde pour Fabrice Argounès, auteur du livre  “Méridiens. Mesurer, partager, dominer le monde” (CNRS éditions). Il explique qu'il existait d'autres méridiens avant celui de Greenwich : celui de Bagdad, Pékin ou de Madras avec l'idée pour chaque société de se placer au centre du monde. Le géographe et géohistorien nous explique comment la cartographie a toujours été un instrument politique. Record du CAC 40 : la Bourse de Paris au plus haut malgré la crise politique et la dette ?La Bourse de Paris a atteint un nouveau sommet historique le 21 octobre. Ce record a de quoi étonner alors que la France fait face à une dette abyssale, que l'instabilité politique est forte  et que les agences de notation dégradent la note de la France. Après Fitch, il y a un mois, l'agence S&P a dégradé la note de la dette souveraine du pays vendredi en invoquant une incertitude “élevée” sur les finances publiques, baissant d'un cran la note de la France de AA- à A+. Dans le même temps, le budget est examiné à l'Assemblée nationale. Les discussions s'annoncent rudes avec le rejet en commission des finances du volet “recettes” du budget 2026, mercredi 22 octobre. Enfin, Victor Dekyvère revient sur 70 ans d'évolution du corps masculin. Marie Bonnisseau s'intéresse à la fermeture temporaire de l'aéroport de Vilnius, en Lituanie, à cause de ballons de contrebande.28 minutes est le magazine d'actualité d'ARTE, présenté par Élisabeth Quin du lundi au jeudi à 20h05.

In Episode 417 Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger explore the ghost towns in and around the Quabbin Reservoir in central Massachusetts. In the 1930s, the towns of Dana, Enfield, Greenwich, and Prescott, Massachusetts with a combined population of about 2,500 people had to disincorporate in order for the Swift River Valley to flood and form the reservoir needed for Boston's drinking water. What was left behind were scars, haunts, mysteries, and maybe a dirty secret many would rather not know about.  See more here: https://ournewenglandlegends.com/podcast-417-the-ghost-towns-of-the-quabbin/  Listen ad-free plus get early access and bonus episodes at: https://www.patreon.com/NewEnglandLegends     Buy Jeff Belanger's new book Wicked Strange New England on Amazon: https://amzn.to/4lMkM3G      Check out Jeff's new underground publication Shadow Zine! https://shadowzine.com/               Listen to Ray's Local Raydio! https://localraydio.com/
