On today's episode, I'm joined by Norman Santos, a Las Vegas nightlife promoter with years of experience at XS Nightclub and Encore Beach Club. Norman began promoting events in Hawaii at just 19 years old before moving to Las Vegas to pursue a career in one of the world's most competitive nightlife scenes. We discuss the hidden economics of bottle service, what separates elite promoters from everyone else, how status and social pressure influence attraction, why nightclub culture has changed, and what Las Vegas reveals about modern dating and relationships. Norman also shares firsthand stories from behind the scenes and explains how the lessons he learned in nightlife can apply to everyday social situations. 00:00:00 Introduction 00:00:49 Meeting Norman Santos 00:05:10 Why Norman Loves Nightlife 00:07:41 Bottle Service vs The Dance Floor 00:08:29 The Death of Bringing Girls to Clubs 00:11:29 Why Nightclubs Are Dying 00:13:46 The Clout Test Concept 00:15:08 The Clout Test Explained 00:23:23 What is a Girl Guy? 00:25:12 Girl Guys vs Regular Promoters 00:32:34 Traits of a Good Girl Guy 00:35:02 Splitting Groups at the Club 00:44:25 Dating in Las Vegas 00:48:01 Building a Promoter From Scratch 00:55:07 Spotting Game in Nightclubs 01:05:31 Mistakes Guys Make at Clubs 01:13:12 Three Biggest Nightclub Mistakes 01:32:13 Uncomfortable Truths About Vegas 01:35:12 Bachelorette Parties in Vegas 01:38:29 Where to Find Norman ————————————————————
696. How did a 19th-century merchant rebuild his life after the War of 1812 and use his fortune to secretly transform the city of New Orleans? We're joined by author Audrey Ades to talk about her picture book biography, Judah Touro Didn't Want to Be Famous.

In 1699, eighteen years after La Salle had demonstrated the connection of the Mississippi with the Gulf of Mexico, by passing out at its mouth, Iberville succeeded in entering it from the Gulf. Ascending as far as the junction of Red River, he returned, and proceeded, by way of the Gulf, into Lake Pontchartrain. He formed a settlement and erected a fort, at Biloxi, which he left under the command of his brother Bienville, while he returned to France, to induce others to join the colony. Soon after he left, the new commander ascended the Mississippi as far as the present site of New Orleans. In returning, he met a British vessel of sixteen guns, under the command of Capt. Bard, who enquired the bearings of the great river, intimating that it was his intention to establish a colony upon its banks. Bienville, in reply, directed him to go farther west, and thus induced him to turn about; from which circumstance, the place of their meeting was called “The English Turn,” a name which it retains to this day.

In “Brisket, Kugel, and Community in Birmingham,” Gravy reporter Olivia Ware Terenzio visits Birmingham, Alabama's Levite Jewish Community Center (“The J”) for the Jewish Food and Culture Fest, a celebration of kugel and cabbage rolls for Jews and non-Jews alike. This episode explores what role the festival plays in a state where less than half of one percent of the population is Jewish—and what we really mean when we talk about Jewish Food. The festival started more than two decades ago, which is impressive, considering that there are only about 6,300 Jews in the Birmingham metro area of 1.1 million. It's been sustained by a loyal group of Jewish volunteers and widely supported by the non-Jewish population. A closer look at the kitchen, where volunteer cooks prepare hamantashen ahead of the festival, proves that this is all more complicated than a typical food festival. Desserts are made with oil, not butter, to avoid dairy. The counters where the volunteers are working are marked with red duct tape, and one half of the kitchen is blocked off with a plastic sheet. The tape and plastic are part of an effort to keep the festival entirely kosher, as is the oversight of a kosher supervisor: Rabbi Yossi Friedman. He reviews all the food bought for the festival to ensure that even people who are very careful about keeping kosher can participate. In Alabama, where options for kosher dining are next to zero, this is especially important. At the same time, many of the festival's attendees—and most of the J's dues-paying members—aren't Jewish. For many of them, the festival offers a rare opportunity to experience Jewish food that can't be found in restaurants here. As Margaret Norman, a scholar of American Jewish history and Southern Jewish foodways, explains, many people don't come into regular contact with Jewish culture or Jewish people in Alabama. In this episode, Rabbi Friedman explains how kosher certification works and why it matters in an increasingly complicated food system. Isa Dorsky, one of the festival's lead cooks and a former Board President at The J, leads volunteer cooks as they prepare 400 hamantashen. Finally, Norman tells of Birmingham's evolving Jewish population and explores a food festival's potential to bridge differences between neighbors.

She is the Director of Programs for Project Threadways and the Podcast Editor here at the Southern Foodways Alliance. She holds an M.A. in Southern Studies from the University of Mississippi.

On 25 September 1066, King Harold Godwinson won a crushing Anglo Saxon victory at Stamford Bridge, destroying the invading Norwegian army of Harald Hardrada and Harold's own brother Tostig just days before the Norman landing at Hastings. Harold's army had marched roughly 185 miles north in under a week, catching the Vikings by surprise as many were camped east of the River Derwent without their armour on a hot day. The English surged across (and around) the bridge, broke the Norwegian line, and drove them back toward their ships in a bloody rout in which both Hardrada and Tostig were killed. Contemporary chronicles stress the ferocity and the scale of the slaughter, of around 300 ships that had brought the invaders, only about 20 25 were needed to carry the survivors home. One famous passage even describes a lone Norwegian holding the bridge against the English until he was speared from below, allowing Harold's men to pour across and finish the battle. Stamford Bridge ended the last serious Viking attempt to conquer England and secured the north for Harold but at heavy cost.

This is the third live Q&A for The Christ Empire Couldn't Keep, and this week we did everyone's favorite theologian: Anselm. Here's the setup for those who've carried atonement baggage since youth group. The angry God demanding a victim is not Anselm. That caricature is a later invention, and Joerg asks why contemporary conservative theology needs a version of the tradition that the tradition never actually taught. His answer: because empire reshapes God's image in the image of the powerful, to celebrate the top and keep the bottom in check. And here's the surprise — Anselm's God cannotjust forgive and forget, and that's not cruelty; it's the opposite. The tyrant can forgive and forget because the tyrant answers to nothing. Anselm's God is bound by the order of creation. A God who follows the rule of law. (Imagine.) So the satisfaction theory becomes an argument against the Norman practice of bloody revenge, written by a man who watched William the Conqueror's troops cut off the right hand and right foot of every male inhabitant of a village that gave offense. We also got into the feminist divine-child-abuse critique, whether reason is a gentler instrument of empire or just a more effective one, Brecht on banks, techno-feudalism, and a closing riff on economic democracy that got Joerg going and ran out of clock.

You can WATCH the conversation on YouTube Dr. Joerg Rieger is the Distinguished Professor of Theology and the Cal Turner Chancellor's Chair of Wesleyan Studies at Vanderbilt University and founding director of the Wendland-Cook Program in Religion and Justice. For three decades, he has worked to bring together theology and the struggles for justice and liberation that mark our age. His work addresses relations of theology and public life, reflecting on the misuse of power in religion, politics, and economics. His interest is in movements that bring about change and in the positive contributions of religion and theology. His constructive work in theology draws on a wide range of historical and contemporary traditions, with a concern for manifestations of the divine in the pressures of everyday life. Several of his 24 authored and edited books address the topics of this course, including No Rising Tide: Theology, Economics, and the Future; Unified We Are a Force: How Faith and Labor Can Overcome America's Inequalities (with Rosemarie Henkel-Rieger); and Faith, Class, and Labor: Intersectional Approaches in a Global Context (with Jin Young Choi). www.joergrieger.com Previous Episodes w/ Joerg Who Owns the Creed?

The Bayeux Tapestry features just three women among 600 male figures. But you can't tell its story without the powerful medieval women who shaped the Norman Conquest. In this second episode of our series, Janina Ramirez and Tracy Borman join Charles Farris to explore the Norman Conquest beyond 'two kings and a duke'. How did women wield power and influence in the early medieval period? Who survived and thrived in the new Norman regime? And why have historians excluded these women from the history books? Learn more about Matilda of Flanders on our website.
On BBC Radio 4 we're marking the arrival of the Bayeux Tapestry in London by exploring the impact of the Norman invasion. In this programme, food historian Dr Annie Gray travels to Normandy to investigate how the Norman Conquest changed what we eat and drink.The Normans crossed the English Channel with new cheeses, different varieties of apple to make cider and introduced rabbits to our table. Annie samples the “Fantastic Four” of Norman soft cheeses – Livarot, Camembert, Neufchâtel and Pont-l'Évêque – and learns about their history with cheese expert David Raguet. She visits cider-makers Christian Drouin and Jean Olivier Petrich to understand why Normandy excels in the drink and finds out about the production of calvados and pommeau. Back in England, Annie also goes on the hunt for rabbits in Thetford Forest where you can still see evidence of the extensive Norman warrens. Dr Millie Horton-Insch from the British Museum explains how food is depicted in the Bayeux Tapestry and Professor Ben Jervis considers what archaeology can teach us about the way our diets changed after 1066.Produced by Robin Markwell for BBC Audio in Bristol.

Roger de Hauteville was left to keep his two rowdy nephews at arm's length from each other while he consolidated his life's work in Sicily and Calabria. Great Count Roger was without question the last great Norman conqueror, and his death didn't necessarily end Norman supremacy, but it did put an exclamation point on the unbelievably dangerous and effective push for Norman conquest across the medieval world. Though his son, if you can believe it, will grow to eclipse him, Roger de Hauteville left an indelible mark on Mediterranean history.

Good afternoon, I'm _ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened marginally higher this morning from yesterday's close, at 47,335 on turnover of 10.9-billion N-T. The market rose by over 700 points on Monday to close at its second-highest ever record as buying focused on large-cap semiconductor stocks after U-S tech companies rallied at the end of last week. Arrest warrant issued for missing senior aide indicted in lawmaker's corruption case The Taipei District Court has issued an arrest warrant for Kao Chin Su-mei's former legislative office director after he jumped bail. According to the court, police responded late Sunday after an electronic wrist monitor belonging to Chang Chun-chieh issued a low-battery alert. Police failed to locate Chang, but recovered his wrist monitor, which had been "broken and thrown away." Chang was indicted along with Kao Chin and 22 other people in early June on charges of corruption and fraud-related charges related to the embezzlement of public funds and the importation (進口) of unapproved COVID-19 test kits from China. He was released on 10-million N-T bail in June on health grounds. MOHW on this year's flu shots The Ministry of Health says it could purchase more enhanced flu vaccines if those being introduced into the government's free vaccination program this year prove to be effective. The statement comes after the ministry announced it had purchased 200,000 doses of enhanced flu vaccines - with residents of long-term care facilities being given priority. Health officials says if funding is available, it plans to purchases to 600,000 doses of the enhanced (增強的、提高的) vaccines next year. The first phase of the government's free flu vaccination program begins on October 1 and the Centers for Disease Control has said it purchased just over 7-million doses for the publicly funded program this year. Indonesia Flights Resume After Volcano Eruption Flights to and from Indonesia's capital of Jakarta have resumed after ash from a volcanic eruption forced a two-day closure that halted nearly 3,000 flights. The transportation minister said Soekarno-Hatta International Airport and Halim Perdanakusuma Airport serving Jakarta reopened early today. Three smaller airports also reopened just after midnight, but three others remain closed until 10 a.m. The continuous eruption of Anak Krakatau with lava fountains and loud booms (轟,隆隆聲) ended Sunday but the volcanic island remained active Tuesday morning. The airport closures Sunday and Monday affected about 341-thousand passengers. CANADA'S RETALIATORY TARIFFS** TAKE EFFECT AS TRUMP THREATENS TO BAN** BOMBARDIER SALES IN THE US Canada has imposed retaliatory tariffs on more than twenty-seven billion dollars' worth of American goods, with levies of up to fifty per cent taking effect today. The move comes after US President Donald Trump threatened on Monday to ban the Canadian aircraft manufacturer Bombardier from selling planes in the United States, writing on Truth Social that the company must build in America or lose access to the market. Quebec's premier has vowed defiance, saying her province will not allow anyone to dictate (決定,規定) where Canadian companies must produce. Jagruti Dave reports from Washington.

Beekeeping challenges rarely stop at national borders. This week, Jeff and Becky cross the Atlantic for a conversation with Dr. Andrea Quigley and Norman Carreck, co-editors of the UK-based Beekeepers Quarterly. Norman, a longtime beekeeper and bee scientist, introduces listeners to the UK's extensive beekeeping education system and his work conserving the native dark European honey bee, Apis mellifera mellifera. The conversation explores what locally adapted honey bees can teach beekeepers about genetics, winter survival, colony size, temperament, and management. Andrea then takes us inside Beekeepers Quarterly, an independent, internationally focused magazine published by Northern Bee Books. She explains how the quarterly combines practical beekeeping, science, conservation, and perspectives from contributors around the world. The discussion also turns to two emerging threats with international implications: Tropilaelaps mites and the yellow-legged hornet. Norman and Andrea explain why early detection, understanding pest biology, and cooperation among researchers, government agencies, beekeepers, and the public matter—and what North American beekeepers might learn from the European experience. It's a wide-ranging conversation offering a decidedly international perspective on honey bees, beekeeping, research, and the challenges ahead.

What's this, an extra podcast? Has Christmas come early? No, the Bayeux Tapestry has instead returned to England for the first time in almost 1000 years.To mark the occasion, we've compiled six snack-sized stats all about the Norman invasion of England to help you have something to talk about in various social situations such a pub quizzes, movie nights and awkwardly quiet lifts.

The United States and Venezuela have welcomed a big energy deal which they've formally signed in Caracas, along with a series of agreements involving international oil firms. The US Energy Secretary Chris Wright said the deal would unlock tens of billions of dollars in investment and thousands of jobs. He said oil production would double in a decade. Critics say the deal hands Washington control of a fifth of Venezuela's oil reserves and entrenches the current authoritarian government. Also: New York's mayor, Zohran Mamdani has announced an unprecedented one-year ban on students using artificial intelligence in public elementary and middle schools; Tens of thousands of people have demonstrated against the Spanish government's handling of the migrant crisis in the north African territory of Ceuta. They've been calling for the socialist prime minister, Pedro Sanchez to resign; More than six decades on from the Sharpeville Massacre in South Africa, survivors and relatives of those killed are challenging an apartheid-era law they say has prevented them from seeking justice; And more than nine hundred years after it was made, King Charles and Queen Camilla have had a preview of the historic Bayeux Tapestry which has been loaned to the British Museum in London by France for a year. The tapestry tells the story of the Norman conquest of Saxon England in 1066, when the English king was defeated by the invaders from France.

In a few day's time the Bayeux Tapestry goes on show at the British Museum in London. The famous embroidery that depicts the Norman conquest of England has returned to the country where it was stitched for the first since it was made almost a thousand years ago. It was created by defeated Anglo-Saxon women, commissioned by their Norman conquerors, and they stitched it to serve a very particular political purpose. We will never know their names but they made one of the most extraordinary works of art to survive from early medieval Europe. Down the centuries it has exerted a powerful hold over many imaginations: it was taken to Paris by Napoleon to rally his troops as he planned to invade Britain, and later eyed by Hitler for the same reason. But the Tapestry is much more than a beautiful object. It is a brilliant piece of communication and in this episode, with the help of Michael Lewis, Curator of the Bayeux Tapestry at the British Museum, we look at the labour behind it and the story it was designed to tell.

Tom Sutcliffe and guests explore the architecture and culture of Norman Britain as part of a special day of programmes on Radio 4 marking the return of the Bayeux Tapestry.From Durham to Peterborough, Lincoln to Norwich, the Norman invasion shaped British architecture, landscape and culture. Beginning in wood but later cemented in stone, power was expressed in the rounded arches and distinctive ornamentation of cathedrals and castles. Beginning in 1066, the Romanesque style can still be seen all over the country today, and Britain also bears the stamp of Norman cultural influence in other ways too - from illuminated manuscripts to our language and music.With: Helen Carr, writer and historian and author of Sceptred Isle: A New History of the Fourteenth CenturyJanina Ramirez, art historian and author of Legenda: The Real Women Behind the Myths that Shaped EuropeSimon Jenkins, author of many books including England's Thousand Best ChurchesVicky Richardson, curator and writer specialising in architecture.Also - John Goodall, Architectural Editor of Country Life, tours Lincoln cathedral and castle.Producer: Eliane Glaser
#244 - One impulsive decision changed Joseph Walker's entire life: at 19, he joined the U.S. Navy to “see the world” and got sent to Italy. Within a day, he felt something click, not because he knew the language or the history, but because the people, the food, and the everyday energy made him want to ask better questions and stay longer.We trace the moment that sealed it, when Joseph hired a fisherman near Naples to investigate rumors of something submerged offshore. He dove into cold, murky water and uncovered a Roman mosaic, a doorway into the underwater ruins tied to Portus Julius and the strange geology of bradyseism that can raise and lower the coastline over time. That discovery leads to decades of research, guiding, and building off the beaten path Italy experiences that turn archaeology and local storytelling into something you can feel, not just photograph.From amphitheaters and grape harvests to Sicily's Norman legacy and the chance to meet a living descendant of Frederick II in Palermo, Joseph explains what most travelers miss when they only do the famous route. We also talk about why hidden gems stay hidden, how real connection still beats screen time, and why he's choosing to move back to Italy, basing his next chapter in Perugia, Umbria's “green heart.”If you love Italy travel, Italian history, cultural tours, and stories where curiosity becomes a compass, hit play.

Radio 4 is marking the arrival of the Bayeux Tapestry in Britain with a special day of programmes reassessing the Norman Conquest and its meaning for us today.In Word of Mouth, Michael Rosen explores the impact of the Norman invasion on the English language. He asks Dr Philip Durkin about the huge influence of Anglo-Norman, the dialect of French that was used in Britain after the Conquest for about 300 years. Philip's research found that of the 1000 most frequent words in modern-day written English, almost 50% of those words are borrowed from either French or Latin, or a mixture of both, and most of those show at least some influence from French and came into the language in this period. It would be difficult for us to speak English now without using these words.Dr Philip Durkin is Deputy Chief Editor of the Oxford English Dictionary and leader of its team of specialist etymology editors. He's the author of Borrowed Words: A History of Loanwords in English.Free Anglo-Norman dictionary online at: https://anglo-norman.net/On-air programme announcements translated into Anglo-Norman by Dr Geert De Wilde, Senior Researcher and Principal Investigator, Anglo-Norman Dictionary.

In this episode of *Pediatric Perspectives*, I was joined by Kari Bundy, a health freedom advocate whose son Mason died three days after his four-month vaccines, and by Polly Tommey, who turned the interview around to ask me about pertussis, the DTaP/Tdap vaccine, and SIDS. Kari's story is a hard one, but it's the kind of story parents deserve to hear before they're standing in an exam room being told their baby needs a shot right now.
Chouwa Liang's documentary Replica invites viewers to empathise with a world of Chinese women who are finding romance and relationships with AI partners or companions. When human-to-human relationships don't work, Qin, Sonya, and Muna, the women of Replica turn to AI boyfriends who woo and check in on their human partners throughout the day. Each receive romantic poems or pose for selfies with their digital boyfriends, creations who fill a romantic void in their lives. Liang asks us to understand why these women have turned to AI for love. It's something she understands completely, as during the Covid pandemic she turned to an AI partner named Norman for companionship and support. She still talks to Norman, just not as frequently anymore, but it's still there as a sounding board for her.Replica is a gentle and kind film, empathetic and considerate, showing the need for connection in a world that so often drives us further and further apart. In this interview with Chouwa Liang, she talks about her journey from China to Melbourne, where she was a graduate of the University of Melbourne, having studied a Master of Film and Television (Documentary). Chouwa talks about how she engaged with the subjects in her film, while also reflecting on what the feminist cinema of China looks like. the Curb... is a completely independent and ad free website that lives on the support of listeners and readers just like you.

Today's Bible Verse: "Jesus replied, 'They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.'" — Matthew 14:16 What can the feeding of the 5,000 teach us about trusting God when our resources feel inadequate? Matthew 14:16 reveals that Jesus wasn't simply concerned with feeding a hungry crowd. He was teaching His disciples to trust Him when they couldn't see how a solution was possible. When faced with an overwhelming need and limited resources, Jesus told His disciples to step forward in faith. Want more encouragement throughout your week?

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they examine President Trump's “Economic D-Day” against Iran and companies doing business with the regime, Abdul El-Sayed comparing circumcision to transgender surgeries for children, Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen's talk of a 2028 presidential campaign, and a razor-thin Republican U.S. Senate runoff in South Carolina.First, they discuss President Trump's Operation Economic Outcast, designed to severely squeeze Iran and impose harsh consequences on countries and corporations doing business with the Iranian regime. Jim and Greg are optimistic the strategy could work, but only if the U.S. cracks down on every Iranian ally.Next, they shake their heads as Abdul El-Sayed defends transgender surgeries for children by comparing them to circumcision. They also examine El-Sayed's attempt to distance himself from far-left influencer Hasan Piker.Then, they laugh as Sen. Van Hollen says he's "kicking the tires" on a 2028 presidential bid. Jim and Greg see lots of parallels between Van Hollen and some of the many Democrats who never gained any traction in 2020.Finally, they cite a rare poll of today's Republican U.S. Senate runoff in South Carolina showing the race between Rep. Ralph Norman and interim Sen. Darline Graham a dead heat. Please visit our great sponsors:QuoMoney is on the line. Always say hello with QUO.

A young woman named Elsie Cameron vanished after delivering an ultimatum to her fiancé, chicken farmer Norman Thorne. Weeks later, investigators dug up his property and found her dismembered remains buried in an unmistakable place — the same spot where he'd posed for a photograph days earlier, smiling, surrounded by his birds. Thorne had an explanation. It was a strange one. And the only person whose opinion would really matter in deciding whether to believe it was a man whose word, by 1925, was treated as close to unimpeachable in a British courtroom. A jury took less than 30 minutes to decide who was telling the truth. A century later, people are still arguing about whether they got it right. (Amber is off this week for her birthday and to clean up after the recent derecho in Ohio. Please enjoy this bonus episode from behind the paywall.)
