I sat down with Tim Haigh and walked through a life most people couldn’t even stomach watching in a movie. Born into violence, raised in poverty, consumed by addiction, and locked up by 17. Tim didn’t just survive the system, he walked straight through the fire and came out the other side swinging. From gangs to grief, heroin to hope, Tim’s story is gritty, raw, and sobering... literally and metaphorically. It’s about the cost of belonging, the hunger for identity, and the power of owning your own story. This is about scars, not wounds. Ownership, not blame. Mess, not perfection. And the long road to becoming the kind of man your past never gave you a blueprint for.

Discovering Grayslake: Community, Resilience, and Preparedness with Servpro Welcome to another insightful episode of "Discovering Grayslake," where we delve into the heart of our community, exploring the stories and experiences that make Grayslake a unique and vibrant place to live. In this episode, host Drake Haig sits down with Drake, a representative from Servpro, a company specializing in water restoration, fire remediation, and trauma cleanup. Broadcasting from the bustling Agora Coworking space, the conversation covers a range of topics from disaster preparedness to the importance of community support. Let's dive into the key takeaways and actionable advice shared during this engaging discussion. The Journey to Grayslake: A Personal Story Drake, the guest, shares his journey from Libertyville to Grayslake, highlighting his background in criminal justice and business management. After spending eight years in Phoenix working for a similar restoration company, he and his wife decided to return to the Midwest to raise their children in the family-friendly environment of Lake County. This personal narrative sets the stage for understanding the deep-rooted community values that drive his work at Servpro. Understanding Servpro's Comprehensive Services Water Restoration, Fire Remediation, and Trauma Cleanup Servpro is a one-stop shop for various restoration needs, managing everything from initial cleanup to the reconstruction of homes and businesses. This comprehensive approach allows them to support clients through some of their most challenging times, often forming lasting relationships with those they help. The Importance of Preparedness Drake emphasizes the need for homeowners to regularly review their insurance policies, especially as property values increase. Many people may not realize that their coverage limits may not reflect the current value of their homes or belongings. Here are some actionable tips: Review Your Insurance Policy Annually**: Ensure your coverage limits are up-to-date with the current value of your home and belongings. Ask About Specific Coverage**: Inquire about additional riders for items like sump pumps, which often require extra coverage. Document Your Belongings**: Keep an updated inventory of your possessions, including photos and receipts, to facilitate the claims process in case of a disaster. The Emotional Impact of Restoration Work Drake shares anecdotes about the emotional connections formed with clients, who often become like family during the lengthy restoration process. The rewarding aspect of helping families return to their homes after a disaster is a recurring theme, highlighting the personal satisfaction derived from making a positive impact in people's lives. Community Involvement and Support Local Business Collaboration The conversation touches on the camaraderie among local business owners, showcasing how they come together to support community initiatives. Drake shares a heartwarming story about collaborating with Myra, a local barber, and John from The Freeze, to sponsor a back-to-school program for underprivileged children. This initiative involved providing backpacks and meals, exemplifying the spirit of collaboration and community support. Volunteering and Board Membership Drake emphasizes the fulfillment that comes from volunteering and serving on the board of a local charity. He encourages listeners to get involved in their communities, highlighting the personal and professional growth that can result from helping others. Disaster Response: Insights and Challenges Hurricane Recovery Efforts Drake recounts his experience responding to Hurricane Ian, traveling to the East Coast to assist with recovery efforts. This experience not only provided financial relief but also marked the beginning of increased business for Servpro. The overwhelming scenes of devastation and the urgent need for assistance underscore the importance of preparedness and community support during crises. Logistics of Disaster Response The logistics of disaster response, particularly in hurricane-affected areas, can be complex. Drake explains that the team often finds themselves in situations where many people are seeking help simultaneously. Prioritizing effectively and bringing essential supplies, such as water, are crucial aspects of their response efforts. Fun and Personal Insights The Grayslake Hotseat In a fun segment called the "Grayslake Hotseat," Drake answers rapid-fire questions about his personal preferences and experiences. This lighthearted segment adds a personal touch to the episode, allowing listeners to connect with Drake on a more intimate level. Here are some highlights: First Vehicle**: A 1999 Harley-Davidson motorcycle, which became less practical during the harsh winter months in Libertyville. Hidden Talents**: Making people laugh, a valuable skill in both personal and professional settings. Nicknames**: Surprisingly, none, despite his adventurous past. Learning from Failure**: Emphasizing that failure is often a stepping stone to success, a valuable lesson for entrepreneurs. Conclusion: The Power of Community and Kindness As the episode concludes, the conversation circles back to the importance of kindness and community support. Drake encourages listeners to engage in random acts of kindness, reminding everyone that small gestures can have a profound impact on others. The episode serves as a celebration of community spirit, resilience, and the importance of supporting one another in times of need. Key Takeaways Review and Update Insurance Policies**: Ensure your coverage reflects the current value of your home and belongings. Get Involved in Your Community**: Volunteering and supporting local businesses can lead to personal and professional growth. Be Prepared for Disasters**: Regularly review your preparedness plans and ensure you have the necessary coverage and supplies.

️ ¡Bienvenidos a un nuevo episodio de La Cara del Mal! Hoy viajamos al Londres más oscuro de mediados del siglo XX para conocer la historia de John George Haigh, conocido como El Asesino del Baño de Ácido ️⚰️. John George Haigh fue un estafador sofisticado, elegante y con modales impecables… pero también un asesino meticuloso que ideó una forma espantosa de hacer desaparecer a sus víctimas: disolver sus cuerpos en ácido sulfúrico. Entre 1944 y 1949, Haigh asesinó al menos a seis personas, no solo para eliminarlas, sino para quedarse con su dinero, propiedades y joyas . Su método era tan aterrador como efectivo: asesinaba a sangre fría, colocaba los cuerpos en bidones metálicos y vertía ácido para borrar cualquier evidencia. Su arrogancia era tal que creía que, al no haber cuerpos, no podía haber crimen. Pero una serie de errores lo llevó a ser descubierto y juzgado, en un caso que estremeció a toda Inglaterra ⚖️. En este episodio, exploramos los detalles macabros de sus crímenes, su mente retorcida y cómo su narcisismo fue clave tanto en sus actos como en su caída. Una historia real donde la ciencia, la codicia y la psicopatía se mezclan en una de las páginas más oscuras del crimen británico. ¡Escúchame en tu plataforma de podcast favorita y acompáñame en este inquietante viaje hacia los recovecos más oscuros de la historia!

I had Kathryn Haigh on the podcast today and she is the President and CEO of the Eiteljorg Museum, which is one of my favorite museums in North America. The reason being, for one thing, it's a beautiful building inspired by Ancestral Puebloan architecture. It was founded by Harrison Eiteljorg in 1989 and he put this magnificent collection of Western and Native Art together.I'm happy to say the museum has continued Harrison's mission. It's a large museum on seven acres in Indianapolis, and they have an incredible Indian market every year in June. They also have an event called Quest for the West, which is a Western fine art show that takes place in September of every year. I've gone to those events and they're terrific.And Katie's story, of course, is fascinating. She's a creative and intellectual person who grew up in Cincinnati, and was propelled into the museum world at an early age. She worked her way up the ranks at the Cincinnati Art Museum, followed by the Fine Arts Museum in Indianapolis, and now she runs the Eiteljorg. So she's quite experienced to say the least.Needless to say, the Eiteljorg is definitely a bucket list museum. To get to speak with the person in charge of such an institution and to really understand how their operation works, and what they're trying to accomplish... It was excellent. There's just some really amazing things in the works over there.So I found it fascinating. Just understanding the path of a museum director and what one does with that level of responsibility. I've spoken to many people in positions of leadership in the museum word but this interview was very unique. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. This is Kathryn Haigh on episode 341 of the Art Dealer Diaries Podcast.

Platform engineering was meant to ease the burdens of Devs and Ops by reducing cognitive load and repetitive tasks. However, building internal development platforms (IDPs) has proven challenging. Despite this, Gartner predicts that by 2026, 80% of software engineering organizations will have a platform team.In a recent New Stack Makers episode, Mallory Haigh of Humanitec and Nathen Harvey of Google discussed the current state and future of platform engineering. Haigh emphasized that many organizations rush to build IDPs without understanding why they need them, leading to ineffective implementations. She noted that platform engineering is 10% technical and 90% cultural change, requiring deep introspection and strategic planning.AI-driven automation, particularly agentic AI, is expected to shape platform engineering's future. Haigh highlighted how AI can enhance platform orchestration and optimize GPU resource management. Harvey compared platform engineering to generative AI—both aim to reduce toil and improve efficiency. As AI adoption grows, platform teams must ensure their infrastructure supports these advancements.Learn more from The New Stack about platform engineering: Platform Engineering on the Brink: Breakthrough or Bust?Platform Engineers Must Have Strong OpinionsThe Missing Piece in Platform Engineering: Recognizing ProducersJoin our community of newsletter subscribers to stay on top of the news and at the top of your game.

Jemma has been eager to get behind the mic for this one. Being a middle class woman of a 'certain' age has nothing to do with it, honest guv. On that note, the Trawl ladies aren't entirely sure what 'that' certain age is but there's so much to mull over they might never get an answer to thatBut there's more to ponder besides Gregg, so they kick off discussing the resignation of Labour's Transport Secretary, Louise Haigh. Haigh was mugged many years ago and said her work phone was one of the items stolen, only said phone then turned up. As far as the Trawlers are concerned this spent conviction pales into comparison with assaulting a woman (Reform MP) or hacking a colleague's computer (Badenoch) but hey....Marina and Jemma also discuss the Assisted Dying Bill and give their very personal views on that. And then, finally, they turn their attention to the Gregg Wallace brouhaha. Is there a woman who hasn't taken to socials to say how him blaming his accusers of his alleged misconduct probably wasn't the best plan?One man however thinks he's a male icon and the ladies have a lot to say about that. Marina surprises Jemma with an underrated tweet she wasn't expecting which ends the ep on a very funny note. Pudding is brilliant - short but sweet and starring comics Mark Thomas and Shappi Khorsandi.

In the small hours of this morning Louise Haigh resigned as Transport Secretary following the revelation that she had pleaded guilty to a criminal offence in 2014. Haigh admitted fraud by false representation at a magistrates' court after she incorrectly told the police that a work mobile had been stolen in 2013. She was then convicted and received a conditional discharge. The incident occurred six months before she became an MP. Haigh had been in hot water just a month ago after her comments nearly cost the government a one billion-pound investment deal with P&O. Is her resignation a little too convenient for the Prime Minister? James Heale speaks to Katy Balls and Isabel Hardman. Produced by Cindy Yu and Oscar Edmondson.
I am really uncomfortable with MP's voting for State Suicide today. Do you really trust the self serving pigs of Westminster not to let the guidelines be relaxed? Was there any real need to change the law? One thing for sure is that five hours debate on a Friday was not enough time to discuss this vital subject. Transport Minister, Louise Haigh has resigned after it was revealed she is a convicted fraudster. The story is even more complicated as one has to question what did Starmer know about her past? This Government is getting engulfed by expenses scandals,freebies, CV fiddling and is becoming a joke, a sick joke.

CELEBRATING JASPER HAIGHJasper Haigh was a lively and troubled seventeen year old when he drove his car through an intersection in Geelong in 1987, dying soon after. His older brother Gideon - compartmentalising his shock and grief - grew up to be an esteemed writer.He has published more than fifty books and contributed to more than a hundred newspapers and magazines in a decades-long journalism career. His cricket books include The Cricket War, The Summer Game and On Warne, and he has written on subjects from abortion, asbestos and architecture to incest and HV Evatt. The Office: A Hardworking History won the NSW Premier's Literary Award for Non-Fiction, and Certain Admissions won a Ned Kelly Prize for true crime. 37 years after Jasper's death Gideon found he was unable to keep his internal tumult at bay any longer, sitting down to write about Jasper in a 72-hour burst.

My conversation today, is with advisory board member Essence of Africa Leanne Heigh. Our chat today will explore the inspiration behind this exciting project, what sets it apart from other travel shows, and the key factors driving its success. Leanne shares her insights on the gaps in the market, the unique African business environment, and why quality meetings and global buyers are at the heart of Essence of Africa. Profile I arrived in Africa in February 1994 as a young backpacker, I stayed on as a Tour Leader and within a frighteningly short period was managing the largest overland truck company on the continent. In November of 2013, my husband James and I were asked to become joint CEOs of Tourvests operations in East Africa, Tourvest had just bought out the minority shareholders. It also coincided with the worst trading period in the history of East African tourism as the industry reeled from terror attacks and then ebola outbreaks. Tourvest emerged stronger from these events and restructured. I remained as CEO for the Lemala and Adrift brands which have since evolved into a group of 10 properties operating in Tanzania and Uganda, and an exciting activity brand offering exhilarating adventures on the River Nile. We are all incredibly proud of the team members that make up the #spiritoflemala and the positive impact that our tourism work has on our staff, their families and the communities from which they are drawn. Lemala is a happy place and I am proud to play my part in its work.

Phil and Dave dive right into it--with Dave discussing Hiffman National, his everyday job as a broker and how his time is primarily spent with property owners or industrial landlords or tenants in the marketplace trying to buy, sell or lease a building to suit their business needs. He then tells listeners how he began in industrial real estate in 2005, how the tide turned during the economic downturn of 2008-09, and the market corrections that led to bigger opportunities. He then touches on the market before, during and post-COVID which leads into a discussion on the industrial real estate conundrum of supply chain issues that created a demand for more buildings, and then landing on how inflation and interest rates have distressed cash flow and driven construction deliveries down. The duo also talks about how industrial has become the darling of the investor world, and the regression of landlord-tenant relationships—with fewer private landlords, and how tenants are feeling the trickle-down effect of the high rents market. David explains how Hiffman is crafting ways to cut some of the costs from these deals on the tenant representative side and conversely, how landlords are holding steady since vacancies in the city are low, giving them the advantage. David delves into how tenants are realizing ways to responsibly apply their funds and efficiently utilize their space. They also touch on transportation and how this major industry is in influx, and hypothesize the blueprint of one of the world's major e-commerce companies and how they make choices on leasing space.

All the evidence in the trial of Robert and Anne Geeves for the murder of Amber Haigh has now been heard. Reporter Ben Doherty tells Bridie Jabour about the final week in the NSW supreme court, each side's closing submissions and what happens next
Last week the supreme court of NSW heard the voices of both accused of murdering Amber Haigh. This week you get to hear them too. Robert and Anne Geeves have both pleaded not guilty and have not testified in court but reporter Ben Doherty was there to hear their original police interviews. He tells Bridie Jabour about the interviews from June 2002. Listen to all episodes of Who Cared? The disappearance of Amber Haigh here: theguardian.com/amberhaigh
On February 20, 1949, police in London arrested thirty-nine-year-old John George Haigh on suspicion of his connection to Olive Durand-Deacon, a wealthy widow who'd gone missing a few days earlier. Haigh had a long criminal history of fraud and theft, so when police discovered that Haigh had recently pawned several items belonging to the missing woman, they naturally believed he had robbed and possibly killed Duran-Deacon. The truth, they soon learned, was far worse.After days of interrogation, Haigh eventually confessed to the murder of Olive Durand-Deacon, telling detectives he had drained her of her blood, which he intended to drink, then disposed of her body in a forty-five gallon barrel of acid—but she was far from the first of his victims. By the time his case went to trial, investigators had connected Haigh to six victims, all dissolved in acid, and he'd confessed to three additional murders that were unconfirmed. In his confession, Haigh claimed he'd murdered his victims in order to drink their blood; though, it's far more likely his motive was primarily greed. Nevertheless, Haigh's claim was immediately seized upon by the British tabloids, who labeled him a “vampire killer” and provided endless sensational coverage of the arrest, trial, and his eventual execution.

As the trial of Robert and Anne Geeves for the murder of Amber Haigh continues, Bridie Jabour speaks to Ben Doherty, who has been watching it unfold. This week he reports on evidence the court heard that Haigh had made a will, events surrounding a late-night visit to a neighbour's house and further details of what's been called ‘the tying up evidence'
In Wagga Wagga the trial of Robert and Anne Geeves for the murder of Amber Haigh is now in its third week. Ben Doherty tells Bridie Jabour what was heard in court last week. For the first time prosecution witness testimony about what has been referred to as ‘the tying up evidence' was heard, but it was the subject of some arguments in court. Other witnesses told us more about Haigh's five months as a mother, before she disappeared
THE TRUE CASE THIS STORY IS BASED ON: Red wine, ice cream, and a warm bath are usually ways to unwind after a long day, but in the twisted mind of John George Haigh, they became tools of terror. Born in 1909 in Yorkshire, England, Haigh was raised in a strict, ultra-religious household. His early years were marked by loneliness and nightmares, which foreshadowed his later descent into crime. After a failed marriage and several stints in jail for fraud, Haigh devised a gruesome method to dispose of his victims: sulfuric acid baths. His first known victim was his former employer, William McSwan, whom Haigh murdered and dissolved in acid. He then turned to McSwan's parents, eliminating them in the same manner to gain access to their wealth. Haigh continued his deadly spree, targeting wealthy acquaintances like Dr. Archibald Henderson and his wife, Rose, in 1948. His final victim, Olive Durand-Deacon, a wealthy widow, led to his downfall when detectives linked her disappearance to Haigh. Investigators found incriminating evidence in his workshop, including remains that survived the acid baths. Despite Haigh's claims of insanity driven by recurring nightmares, the court found him guilty on all counts. In August 1949, Haigh, known as the Acid Bath Murderer, was executed, his dark imagination and horrific crimes coming to a fitting end.SOURCES…Steven Casale, The-Line-Up.com: https://the-line-up.com/acid-bath-murderer-john-haighMurder Noir music provided by Alibi Music Library. = = = = =(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.
