L'Ajuntament no pot entrar a cap de les tres instal·lacions, perquè l'estat no li deixa, i l'estat no les pot tirar a terra -almenys per ara- perquè hi ha obert un procediment judicial que ha de decidir si la declaració BCIL que se'ls va atorgar el 2014 pot salvar-los de la piqueta. Consumat el tancament del Pic-Nic, l'alcaldessa Aurora Carbonell -que afirma que li asseguren que son els 3 establiments els afectats per l'enderroc- es referma en la intenció de l'Ajuntament d'ocupar els equipaments fins que no es resolgui definitivament aquest recurs, amb l'objectiu d'evitar la imatge de degradació i d'abandonament. Carbonell també es defensa de les crítiques al poc suport de l'Ajuntament que, d'una manera o altra, han exposat els gestors de Kansas, Pic-Nic i Club de Mar, i del video que s'ha viralitzat a xarxes on se la pot escoltar a peu de carrer escarnint els socis de l'entitat. El video respon, segons afirma, a una situació d'assetjament prèvia que no apareix a les imatges, i que va acabar amb la presència de la polícia que va identificar a unes persones. L'entrada L’alcaldessa defensa que s’ha intentat de totes les maneres possibles que el ministeri atengués les peticions de Sitges per Kansas, Pic-Nic i Club de Mar, però no hi ha hagut manera ha aparegut primer a Radio Maricel.

Era un tancament sabut, però no per això ha resultat menys trist. Tan trist com multitudinari, perquè ahir al Pic-Nic una gernació de gent acompanyà a la família Matas en un comiat festiu, que acabà amb parlaments i amb un 'amics per sempre' coral capitanejat per Sergi Ramirez i els seus amics musics. Avui, hores després de la ressaca emocional, Joan Anton Matas ha volgut recordar pàgines viscudes, tot agraïnt als col·laboradors i treballadors la seva feina. L'empresa ha obert un ERO forçós per a més de 30 treballadors dels 50 de la plantilla. Matas creu fermament que amb un lideratge ferm des de Sitges aquest patrimoni s'hagués pogut salvar, però deixa ben clar que no hi ha hagut lideratge. Escoltareu la prèvia del comiat, els discursos dels germans, i l'entrevista amb Joan Anton Matas. L'entrada Felicitat i tristesa en el comiat del Pic-Nic. Joan Anton Matas parla de manca de lideratge per a defensar el patrimoni ha aparegut primer a Radio Maricel.

Res no se salva, en especial el govern, però Luis Miguel Garcia també entona el mea culpa en afirmar que l'oposició tampoc ha estat a l'alçada de les circumstàncies. I quan se li pregunta fins a quin punt qui l'escolti pot perdre tota confiança en els representants públics respon que no pot amagar la veritat. El portaveu del PSC creu que no s'ha fet res durant aquesta legislatura i que en els mesos que queden tampoc no passarà res. La conversa ha començat assegurant que l'any 2024 l'Ajuntament va menystenir l'oportunitat de presentar un projecte per la platja de la Bassa Rodona i els seus equipaments que hagués pogut conciliar posicions entre Generalitat i Ministeri. Aleshores s'hagués pogut salvar un patrimoni que ara el ministeri ja té dat i beneït. D'aquí que Garcia també hagi afirmat que la propera visita de representants de costes a Sitges no tindrà res a veure amb Kansas, Pic-Nic i Club de Mar sinó amb donar una data per a continuar les obres del passeig de les Botigues, que gestiona l'estat i que estan pendents de l'aprovació d'una modificació de crèdit per haver esgotat els diners dels fons europeus.

OutKast Picnic Sept 27th by Mastermind Master Studio

Assumint un posicionament a contra corrent, el portaveu de Fets per Sitges, Nacho Rubí, creu que Sitges ja ha perdut la batalla davant del ministeri en l'assumpte del Kansas, Pic-Nic i Club de Mar i, en conseqüència, davant la possibilitat que l'estat guanyi el recurs contra la catalogació de BCIL que l'Ajuntament atorgà als edificis el 2014, o que els tres equipaments puguin estar-se consumint durant mesos o anys fins arribar a un estat de ruïna que obligui a l'enderroc, considera que el més pragmàtic seria aixecar-ne la catalogació i enderrocar-los directament. El regidor ha fet valer l'informe que en el seu dia va fer la directora general de la costa y el mar, Ana Maria Oñoro, en el qual s'exposava sense embuts que l'enderroc seria el destí final dels edificis i de la piscina Maria Teresa, i tot el temps que ha passat sense que s'hagin pres iniciatives. Rubí, que continua definint l'alcaldessa com una psicòpata narcissista i manipuladora, políticament parlant, no ha estalviat tampoc crítiques cap a la gestió del regidor David Martinez. L'entrada Nacho Rubí creu que l’Ajuntament ja ha perdut davant del Ministeri, i que abans que Kansas-Pic Nic i Club de Mar acabin a terra per ruïna es preferible aixecar el BCIL i que s’enderroquin ha aparegut primer a Radio Maricel.

Amb el tancament del Pic-Nic, previst per aquest diumenge, finalitzaran el seguit d'accions que costes ha exercit per executar la recuperació possessòria de Club de Mar, Kansas i Pic-Nic, en espera d'un futur que està per decidir i, si s'ha decidit, tampoc no s'ha fet públic. L'alcaldessa Aurora Carbonell, acompanyada dels regidors del govern, ha llegit aquest matí una declaració en la qual es manifesta, per un costat, l'exigència al ministeri de poder participar en el futur d'aquests edificis i en el projecte que està pendent d'entregar-se des del mes de juny, i, per l'altre, d'assumir la responsabilitat de la institució de vetllar per la seva conservació. A preguntes dels mitjans, Carbonell ha confirmat que el proper mes d'octubre el ministeri s'ha compromés a fer una visita per a poder parlar de l'assumpte. Us oferim la compareixença sencera. L'entrada Responsables del ministeri vindran a Sitges el mes que ve per parlar de Kansas, Pic-Nic i Club de Mar ha aparegut primer a Radio Maricel.

Jim Edwards discusses how to create an order bump with AI. Most marketers ask the wrong question at checkout: What else can I sell them?Ask this instead: What will help them get the result they just paid for faster, better, or easier?A great bump usually does one of four things:• Improves the result. Templates can help a course buyer implement faster. A workbook can help a workshop attendee leave with something finished.• Creates an easy button. A checklist, calculator, script, or swipe file reduces effort and uncertainty.• Adds a natural companion. Someone buys the printed book, then adds the audiobook. The connection makes sense instantly.• Prepares them for the next problem. Someone generates leads, then needs follow-up. Someone writes a book, then needs a launch plan.Information tells people what to do. An easy button helps them actually do it.The best order bumps solve the friction created by saying yes.Use the B.U.M.P. TestBefore you add anything to checkout, run it through this four-part test.B: Builds on What They Already BoughtThe connection should be obvious without a paragraph of explanation.Picnic table plus instant picnic kit. Book plus audiobook. Workshop plus workbook.If you need a conspiracy board and three pieces of red string to explain the relationship, choose a different bump.U: Unlocks Speed, Ease, or a Better ResultYour bump should remove work, delay, confusion, or risk.It does not need to transform the buyer's entire life. It needs to make the next part of the journey smoother.M: Makes Sense in Five SecondsCheckout is not the place for a new education campaign.The buyer should understand what it is, why it matters, and what it costs almost instantly.If your bump needs a video sales letter, a stack slide, and a FAQ, congratulations. You may have built another offer. It just does not belong in the checkbox.P: Protects the Value of the Main OfferThe original purchase must still feel complete.Use what I call the Penalty Test:If the buyer says no to the bump, will they still feel fully served by the main product?If the answer is no, fix the main offer.That test protects trust. And trust is worth more than the quick bump revenue you can squeeze out of a disappointed customer.Build Your Bump in 30 Minutes – See how Jim Edwards explains this simple but profitable concept at https://www.copyandcontent.ai

It opens with Strange Brew flashbacks and Marshall explaining why he laughs at Canadians — then Shawn takes everyone to Asian Fest and comes home with a masterclass hiding in the festival's failures. Dealership cars parked with nobody there to sell. A sticky food tent while families sat on curbs in an empty blocked-off lot. Every festival has the same holes — and every hole is an opening.The picnic table play is the crown jewel: donate branded tables where families actually need to sit, partner with a local retailer, and suddenly you're not an ad — you're the business that made the day better. Email your customer list a heads-up about the event with zero sales pitch (seating courtesy of your shop), then follow up after: "did your car survive the weekend?" And per Marshall — feather flags at eye level, banners up high. Movement grabs eyes, height carries them.Then the raptor logic: raptors hunt in packs. Don't approach an event organizer as one shop — show up with three or four local businesses and a plan, and you're not asking for a favor. You're the reason their festival gets better.The RevRaptor receipts keep stacking: a skeptic dropped $130 in to test it and booked two lost customers within 30 minutes of sending the campaign — because Rev filters 89 maybes down to the six guaranteed closers and hands you the exact message. Shawn's shop got a full Oktoberfest plan he'd never have thought of. It's James Bond marketing: the envelope arrives, the mission's spelled out, go hunt.The back half is the winter survival kit: FLEETS. Not the $10-a-van Amazon scam kind — the electricians, plumbers, HVAC and mechanics in the industrial plazas everyone drives past. One plaza = 20-50 businesses at one address. Branded vans that earn all day, so after-hours service is your pitch, not your problem. Ceramic coat them with Stack — whole van in 15 minutes, glass first — and stack consistency all winter. One address, one invoice, dozens of vehicles. While you're there, knock on the other 19 doors with donuts.Plus Marshall calls his shot — guessing which coating brand is on a struggling member's website, sight unseen, and nailing it. Brands that market to installers instead of customers box you into their model, their messaging, their warranty theater.And the challenge: first 10 people who execute a RevRaptor hunt and send proof get 100 credits each. Push a couple buttons. Let Rev hunt.⚡ Key TakeawaysEvery Festival Fails Somewhere: Find the hole, be the solution, and you're a hero instead of an ad.The Picnic Table Play: Solve a real problem, tell your list with zero pitch, follow up after. Seeds now, harvest later.Hunt in Packs: A pack with a plan beats a solo shop asking for booth space.Flags Sell: Movement grabs the eye for half a second — that's all you need.Fleets Are the Winter Plan: Industrial plazas, after-hours service, one invoice, dozens of vehicles.Rev Filters, You Execute: 89 maybes become 6 closers with the exact message. Stop blanketing. Start hunting.

No ha estalviat crítiques el portaveu de VOX, Jose Antonio Gilabert, a la gestió del govern a l'entorn de la situació de Kansas, Pic-Nic i Club de Mar, i a la de la crisi viscuda la matinada de Festa Major. Per Gilabert, el cap dels mossos al Garraf amagà informació sobre la identitat magribina d'alguns dels protagonistes dels aldarulls, i no va donar arguments convincents sobre les dimensions de l'operatiu de seguretat. De la mateixa manera, el portaveu de Vox ha assenyalat que quan els mossos van marxar la policia es va trobar totalment en fals davant de la situació. Pel que fa als equipaments de la platja de la Bassa Rodona, Gilabert ha definit com a molt esclaridores les declaracions de Carme Gasulla la setmana passada a Ràdio Maricel, en el sentit d'entendre que les seves paraules certifiquen que no hi va haver voluntat política de salvar el Club de Mar.

Labor day is a national holiday to recognize the contributions of working men and women. This labor day finds that 71% of Americans approve of unions, the highest since 1957, even 52% of Republicans expressing support. A record 47% of Americans want unions to have more influence. Union membership however has been declining for decades, with less than 10% of the workforce belonging to a union, down from 20.1% in 1983. The political and economic power of union remain low, constrained by low membership, political opposition, and economic pressures.

Des del seu nou rol a l'oposició, Carme Gasulla ha fet valer l'esperit crític. De portes endins i de portes en fora. Admet que l'Ajuntament hagués hagut d'anar a parlar molt abans amb el Ministeri per a desbloquejar la situació de Kansas, Pic-Nic i Club de Mar, però a la vegada també afirma que quan va proposar al govern treballar per a la declaració com a BCIN dels edificis, li van dir que no calia, i apunta a una manera classista d'abordar l'assumpte del Club de Mar. La regidora de Verds-ECP lamenta una deriva poc dialogant de l'executiu que va començar la legislatura amb més ganes d'obrir debats amb la ciutadania, i afirma -responent a les declaracions de l'alcaldessa Aurora Carbonell- que Verds-ECP mai va posar sobre la taula cap proposta il·legal que fes trontollar el pacte per al canvi d'alcaldia, i, en qualsevol cas, aquesta va ser l'excusa per a que no tirés endavant. Gasulla creu que s'ha gestionat molt malament, tant políticament com comunicativa, la crisi dels aldarulls de la matinada de Sant Bartomeu, i que ara aquest assumpte forma part de la llista de les prioritats. L'entrada Carme Gasulla (Verds-ECP) ‘em faig responsable de no haver anat a parlar molt abans amb el MITECO’ ha aparegut primer a Radio Maricel.

Sioux Falls was the site of the bloodiest labor movement clash in state history. Today's union organizers say the fight is far from over as workers seek safety, dignity, and protections.

What if the problems around you aren't actually related to you? Graham opens with David's confession in the face of overwhelming forces — a God so unconcerned by the enemy that He sets a table on the battlefield: "picnic first, great fight second." Discover why the Lord is looking for warriors, champions, and game changers with an identity rooted in majesty — people who take situations by the scruff of the neck, displace the enemy in their own locality, and turn a Tuesday night into a Saturday night. Then Graham lands on a prophetic word: this is your time to arise, because your promises, prophecies, scriptures, visions, and dreams are your currency — "more significant than the circumstances that you're facing."Key Scriptures:- Psalm 23:5-6. "You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever."- Acts 10:38. "God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, and He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him."- 2 Corinthians 1:20. "For as many as are the promises of God, in Him they are yes; therefore also through Him is our Amen to the glory of God through us."- 2 Corinthians 3:17. "Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty."Want to explore more?

We go pond jumping this week and head to the Isle of Wight for one of the strangest paranormal encounters ever reported: All Colours Sam, better known as the Sandown Clown.In 1973, two children claimed they met a nearly seven-foot-tall, three-fingered, three-toed, ghost-like humanoid living in a metal hut near Sandown Airport. Normal British stuff, we are pretty sure. Sam wore a pointed yellow hat, spoke through a strange device, said he was “a ghost in an odd sort of way,” and somehow managed to make eating berries look like advanced alien surgery.So what was All Colours Sam? An extraterrestrial? A robot? A folkloric entity? A man in a costume? Or one of the most bizarre childhood stories ever to escape into UFO and cryptid lore?We break down the full encounter, the witnesses, the weirdest details, what believers think happened, what skeptics say, and why the Sandown Clown mystery is still confusing paranormal researchers more than 50 years later this week on Hysteria 51.SourcesBUFORA Journal, Vol. 6, No. 5, Jan/Feb 1978 – “Ghost or Spaceman '73?”Internet ArchiveThink Anomalous – The Sandown “Ghost Clown,” 1973Think AnomalousOnTheWight – All Colours Sam, aka Sam the Sandown ClownOnTheWightOnTheWight – The Sandown Clown: Exploring Sam, the Isle of Wight's Surreal 1973 EncounterOnTheWightBBC Radio 4 / Uncanny – Cold Cases: Case 5: The Sandown ClownApple PodcastsOnTheWight – BBC Sounds and Cease to Exist Podcasts Turn Their Attention to All Colours SamOnTheWightSpooky Isles – The Sandown Clown: Fact or Fiction?Spooky IslesWeird Darkness – The Sandown Clown: All Colours Sam and the Isle of WightWeird DarknessIsland Echo – The Sandown Clown Returns to the Isle of WightIsland EchoBedtime Stories – The Sandown ClownThe Sandown ClownShrouded Hand – The Sandown Clown Incident: A Creepy Encounter With an Unknown EntityThe Sandown Clown IncidentEmail your Contest Entries to:ForthHandmedia@gmail.comEmail us your favorite WEIRD news stories:weird@hysteria51.comSupport the ShowGet exclusive content & perks as well as an ad and sponsor free experience at https://www.patreon.com/Hysteria51 from just $1ShopBe the Best Dressed at your Cult Meeting!https://www.teepublic.com/stores/hysteria51?ref_id=9022See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Matthew Longo, The Picnic: A Dream of Freedom and the Collapse of the Iron Curtain. Thirty years after the event, Matthew Longo returns to the border to reflect on the legacy of the picnic and the nature of freedom. The site of the former "death zone" has ironically become the most green part of Europe—a "green belt" of pastoral woodlands. Longo interviews the aging survivors, including Nemeth, Agnes, and Laslo, a curator of documents who describes the unremarkable-looking spot as Anus Mundi. The final discussion explores the evolving meaning of liberty, contrasting Isaiah Berlin's "negative liberty" (freedom from state interference and freedom of movement) with Hannah Arendt's concept of "plurality" and solidarity. Longo notes a "perverse irony": many East Germans who successfully fled to the West were ultimately disappointed by the version of freedom they found, which lacked the sense of community and solidarity they had experienced in the East. In a modern world where walls are being rebuilt and xenophobia is rising, the story of the Pan-European Picnic serves as a prompt to rethink how the euphoria of 1989 transitioned into the embattled state of liberalism today.

Matthew Longo, The Picnic: A Dream of Freedom and the Collapse of the Iron Curtain. This segment focuses on the high-level political maneuvers that set the stage for the collapse of the Iron Curtain, beginning with a Warsaw Pactmeeting on July 6, 1989. The primary figures are Miklos Nemeth, the young, Harvard-educated Prime Minister of Hungary and a reformer, and Nicolae Ceausescu, the "old guard" dictator of Romania. During the meeting, a furious Ceausescu berates Nemeth for betraying socialism and undermining the Warsaw Pact, even refusing to address him as "comrade." Nemeth, however, finds a silent ally in Mikhail Gorbachev, the Soviet leader, who gives him a subtle "wink" to signal protection against the hardliners. Nemeth's radical goal was to dismantle the physical Iron Curtain—not just for ideological reasons, but because the technology (mines, electric wires) was decades old, ineffective, and too expensive to maintain. In a secret March 1989 meeting at the Kremlin, Gorbachev gave Nemeth a "green light," telling him that the border was Hungary's problem to manage. This meeting also touched on the sensitive presence of a secret Soviet nuclear arsenal in Hungary, which Gorbachev insisted remain hidden from his own defense ministers. Nemeth left Moscowfeeling that while Gorbachev wouldn't stop him, the Soviet leader's own position was precarious, and a hardline coup remained a constant threat. (1)1800

Matthew Longo, The Picnic: A Dream of Freedom and the Collapse of the Iron Curtain. The focus shifts from political elites to young activists in the Hungarian "borderlands." In late June 1989, inspired by a speech from Otto von Habsburg, a young woman named Maria and a man named Ferenc hatch an audacious plan in the city of Debrecen: they will throw a party—the Pan-European Picnic—at the Iron Curtain itself. Maria, showing incredible initiative in a country with few phones, begins calling government officials and border guards to organize the event. The original vision for the picnic was "euphorically ignorant": the organizers imagined a thin fence where Hungarians and Austrians could pass sausages and beer to one another. In reality, the Iron Curtain was a "death zone" several kilometers wide, filled with watchtowers, dogs, and layers of fencing. However, the process of de-electrifying and dismantling the fence was moving faster than expected. The organizers eventually secured a location near the town of Sopron and convinced the authorities to allow a one-time-only opening of a border gate, allowing Austrians to cross into Hungary to celebrate "European togetherness." (2)1930 BUDAPEST

Matthew Longo, The Picnic: A Dream of Freedom and the Collapse of the Iron Curtain. As the picnic date of August 19, 1989, approaches, the atmosphere is "fraught" with tension. Thousands of East Germans (GDR) have flooded into Hungary, pretending to be on summer vacation but actually acting as refugees hoping for a chance to cross into the West. They camp at places like Ferto Rakos, where they are stalked by Stasi informers who take down names and instill terror. Meanwhile, in Budapest, Miklos Nemeth and other reformers view the picnic as "Operation Human Shield"—a test to see if the nearby Soviet army will intervene. On the day of the picnic, two unlikely heroes emerge: Norbert, a hard-drinking West German adventurer with a scars-and-mercenary past, and Agnes, an elderly local woman. Because Norbert has a West German passport and Agnes is too old to fear the state, they act as "guardian angels," helping terrified East Germans navigate the borderlands. The event itself is chaotic and plagued by rain, resembling a "Woodstock" in the woods. When a mass of nearly a thousand East Germans suddenly rushes the border gate, a moment of extreme panic occurs as champagne bottles pop; many refugees, conditioned by fear, mistake the sound for gunshots. However, the Hungarian border guards make a "tremendous moral choice" not to shoot, allowing the mass of people to flee into Austriawithout a single drop of bloodshed. (3)1956
