Box 508 Georgetown, KY 40324 Our story of Dodge's Big Horn tractor must begin with the founding of Dodge automobile Company and the sale to Chrysler and Chrysler's exit from the heavy truck business. Psst: You can buy a 64th scale model of a Dodge Big Horn tractor here: https://www.gltrucks.com/1973-dodge-cnt-950-big-horn-gold-with-red-stripes. I'll talk more about it later on. And please take a moment to subscribe and join my YouTube family to learn all about the best diecast models you need in your collection. The story of Dodge's beginning began when Horace Dodge and John Dodge founded the Dodge Brothers Company in Detroit in 1900, and quickly found work manufacturing precision engine and chassis components for the city's growing number of automobile firms. Chief among these customers were the established Olds Motor Vehicle Company and the new Ford Motor Company. Henry Ford selected the Dodge brothers to supply a wide range of components for his original Model A (1903–04) that included the complete chassis. Thus, Ford needed to add only the body and wheels to finish the cars. Henry offered the Dodge brothers a 10% share in his new company in return for $10,000 worth of goods. That became one of the best deals Henry ever offered to any company. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/logan-skeele/message

I get it: it's easy to fall into the "I just need to land a couple more clients" trap.But I've learnt the hard way that not all clients are created equal. And while it seems like some extra cash will solve all your problems... nightmare clients can create a whole lot more of them. (Problems - not money!!)So in this episode I'm breaking down:→ Why you *should* care about who you work with→ How certain things you're doing could be attracting the wrong people→ 5 way to ensure you're showing up in a way that attracts total dream clients→ And as a bonus, will naturally make it easier to sell your offerings!Grab your notebook... this is a big one.PSST

Yep, I'm about to undergo a rebrand which means things are about to change 'round these parts. And I'm not just talking about the logo and colours.This rebrand is the result of a huge year of internal growth in 2021 and in turn, "outgrowing" the brand you see right now. So in this episode I'm giving you the full scoop about...→ Why I'm rebranding when my clients love my brand as it is→ What the rebrand is going to involve→ A sneak peak at how my inside out approach to the strategy→ And why it's scaring the hell out of me (despite the excitement!)But no more spoilers - you'll need to listen for the juicy details ;)PSST

With the end of the year approaching & reports about inflation dominating the nightly news, Americans are anxious about what this means for them. Former US Secretary of Labor and progressive activist Robert Reich, however, thinks this is a major misdiagnosis: the problem isn't inflation, but a lack of competition to stop big, monolithic corporations from jacking up prices. Robert joins Mike on the show today to talk about who is really responsible for your gas and milk prices skyrocketing, and why it's more important than ever for the government to intervene in a moment when they're trying to pull back. Plus, they discuss the rising labor movements in America and whether the “labor shortage” the media & big companies keep alleging is actually a general strike of workers across the country. Read Robert's latest Substack post on Inflation and monopolies, “Psst: You want to know the truth about inflation? (It's not what the Fed thinks it is.)” And be sure to check out Robert's other Substack post we discussed in the episode, “Why I don't trust the mainstream media” Also be sure to check out Robert Reich's 2013 Documentary “Inequality for All”, available on multiple streaming platforms.

I am Marc Hershon, your soundcast sommelier for Episode 278 of Succotash, the Comedy Soundcast Soundcast. For the uninitiated here's the deal: Most of the time on this show we feature clips from comedy soundcasts harvested from all over the internet, and we tell you where to find them. Occasionally, however, we'll have a chat with a comedy soundcaster or other show biz-related folks, and that's what I have for you today – a visit with an old friend of mine and a funny new voice in the world of animation, special guest Peter Kim. Before I get into his bona fides and our conversation, I wanted to see if you caught our last show, Episode 277 with the co-host I share this feed with, Tyson Saner. We called it “Two Nights & A Bite” and Tyson featured clips from Half Hour Happy Hour: Ladies Night with Alison and Maude (& Tom), Saturday Night Live Afterparty, and Anxiety Bites. If'n you want to check it out, it's available everywhere fine soundcasts are streamed and/or downloaded, including Apple & Google Podcasts, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music, Stitcher, Soundcloud and our own homesite at SuccotashShow.com. (Psst: You can visit our website and check out the blog entry that accompanies each and every episode of Succotash in order to find links to the shows we feature as well as to the social media feeds of the hosts and guests of many of those shows.) As far as this episode's guest goes, let's set the table for Peter Kim. We cover a lot of his journey in our convo but I first met him when he was a student in an improv comedy class I was teaching in San Francisco. He busted out and helped to start a whole new improv thing there before jumping across the country and into the scene in New York. From there he headed for the improv homeland of Chicago and immersed himself in Second City which was a whole experience and unintended adventure in itself. He also started a soundcast with Eunji Kim, The Ajumma Show, which we have featured on Succotash. And then he shunted to Los Angeles and started getting some parts in TV. Just this month he made his debut voicing the character of Benny Choi, a 13-year-old kid in the posh Fairfax district of LA in an Amazon Prime cartoon called Fairfax. Check out the trailer Fairfax here. Thanks to Peter Kim. Thanks to Bill Heywatt, our announcer. And thanks, most of all, to you. You and your ears. Without you listening, we are nothing. Next week Tyson will be back with a clutch of soundcast clips for Epi279 so in the meantime be as good as you can be under today's stressful conditions. Remember to take a deep breath every once in a while. Get vaxxed or boosted. Slap on a mask when you should. And remember: If anyone ever asks if you've heard anything good lately, please remember to pass the Succotash! — Marc Hershon

State St., Sandy, Utah When: October 4-5, 2018, 9:00 am – 5:00 pm   THE ARCHIVE LADY: LIBRARY ARCHIVES CANADA CO LAB The Library and Archives of Canada (LAC) has introduced a brand-new crowd sourcing opportunity for genealogists or anyone interested in records transcription: . The LAC has put a call out for volunteers to be part of a collaborative project to transcribe, add keywords and image tags, translate content from an image or document and add descriptions to digitized images using “Co-Lab” and the new “Collection Search”. The more volunteers that participate in this project, the more accessible and usable the digital collection will become for everyone. You can become a contributor in two ways: Take on a “challenge” of images put together by experts at LAC Use the new Collection Search to find materials that matter most to you, then enhance them. Anyone can now contribute to digitized images that are found while doing research. The volunteer must register and create a user account so you can keep track of the records to which you have contributed. Once this free account is established, a volunteer can contribute as much or as little as they would like. The “Challenges” are content put together under a theme. For instance, under the “Challenges” tab on the website you could choose to transcribe the “Correspondence between Sir Robert Borden and Sir Sam Hughes” The theme for this challenge is listed as “military heritage.” Or another “Challenge” someone might choose could be “New France and Indigenous Relations” whose theme is listed as “Aboriginal Heritage.” There are also new “Challenges” being posted to the site, so check back often. Maybe you would like to contribute using Collection Search. The website describes how this tool works: “When you are conducting research using our new search tool and find images, you'll see that you have the option to enable this image for Co-Lab contributions. After answering just a few short questions, you can enable an image found in Collection Search for Co-Lab use and transcribe/translate/tag/describe to your heart's content.” There is a short tutorial to get you started and show you the ropes. The launch of Co-Lab also introduces a new image viewer, which allows you to zoom in on different parts of the image or move around the image itself. This tool is useful when transcribing or adding keywords and image tags to describe all the small details. Every image in Co-Lab is subject to review by other members. If something is found to be incorrect or if you find something that is wrong, it can be marked as “Needs Review” for others to take another look and decide what is correct. The best part about this new Library and Archives Canada tool is that every contribution by the volunteers benefits fellow genealogy researchers and improves records access. Every additional tag or translation becomes new metadata and is searchable within 24 hours of the transcriptions or tagging being done. So, if you are like me and are eager to get as much genealogical and historical records online and transcribed, check into The Library and Archives of Canada's new DNA WITH DIAHAN SOUTHARD GEM: PROJECT LIZZIE CONCLUSION to read Ron's blog post announcing the satisfying conclusion of Project Lizzie.

But once you've found that gem, it will open up all kinds of records from their native land, and likely take you back several more generations. There are three important pieces to this ancestral puzzle: the village name, the parish it belonged to and the district or kreis it was part of. Find your relatives in the most recent census and work backwards.  Look for immigration and naturalization clues (such as the year of arrival or whether they had applied for citizenship). Look for naturalization records for ancestors who may have naturalized. The naturalization process created a lot of paperwork, and in that paper work your ancestors were asked for information about where they were born, where they immigrated from, the ship they traveled on, and when they arrived in America. (The more recent the naturalization, the more likely you will find listed the place of birth, date of emigration and the ship on which they sailed.) Most applied for citizenship at one of the nearest county courthouses. Try the free GenWeb website for the county where you think your ancestors applied for citizenship to see what resources they have available. Also, look up the county courthouse online for records and contact information. Declarations of Intent:  The first document filed for citizenship Petitions for Naturalization:  The final papers If you need a little help, read these articles on tracing your German genealogy: Brush up on your .   Most recent border changes occurred in 1945 and 1871. Consult a gazetteer at the library or online, and look up the town. This should indicate the parish and Kreis. Here are more articles to help you find German places: (on one of my favorite websites for German research, the GenWiki at Genealogy.net) On the free website :  Under Search > Records, enter the last name, and the country as Germany to see if people with the same last name are listed in the same location you have pinpointed in Germany. Also on FamilySearch.org, under Search > Catalog, search by Place to see what records exist for any locale you have pinpointed. Put the village name first and then the kreis. Timelines are a great tool for seeing the bigger picture and determining how the little bits of information fall within it.  is the place to make connections with relatives overseas, particularly with those who may still live in your ancestral homeland. : it's free to get started.   GERMAN ANCESTRAL VILLAGES CONTINUED What if, as in Elizabeth's case, the passenger list and naturalization records don't state their place of origin?  Info about the “old country” can pop up in a LOT of different places: Death certificates Marriage records Church records Obituaries Tombstones & cemetery records Probate records Delayed birth certificates (these were often created when social security came into effect in the 1930s and 1940s.) The Germans to America book series should be consulted if your German ancestor arrived between 1850 and 1897. Learn more about it and search it at . If you know from which port in Germany they departed, you may be able to locate their hometown in German passenger departure lists. (See links below.) Look sideways, at brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles, even friends. If you can determine where one of them was born, you will have an EXCELLENT place to look in Germany for your ancestors! In addition, determine if your ancestors had traveling companions on their way to America and look into their backgrounds. Go back to the census and check out your ancestors' first recorded American neighborhood. Where were their neighbors from?  Folks often settled near family and friends from the old country. (free at FamilySearch) While most of the Bremen, Germany passenger departure records were destroyed -- either by German officials or during WWII -- 2,953 passenger lists for the years 1920 – 1939 have survived.

A year and a half ago I had NO team. It was just me, trying to run every aspect of my business. For SO long I had my grip so tight on control: wanting to control every thing from my email inbox to my social media strategy from photography, finances, and the list goes on… while I was making it happen, it wasn’t easy and in reality I was stunting my own growth simply because I was too proud to let someone in. Then I learned how to hire a team. But this is where the real lesson started: how do you bring that team together and promote teamwork, creative thinking, and problem solving? And I figured it out. Goal Diggers, we are talking about how YOU can hire a team and grow your business in the process. We are covering everything from: -The questions to ask your team to ensure you're on the same page -How to delegate in a way that empowers -How to pass along ownership (and watch your business grow in the process!) -The secret to growth and getting feedback in a comfortable way -Ensuring that your team prioritizes their work well So whether you have ONE VA or you’re thinking about adding to a growing team, I want to talk about ways you can create a team culture and what that can look like as your business grows. One of the best gifts is being able to run a business that not just affords my life but supports other women and their families plus I have a TEAM of women helping me live out my mission while they are chasing their dreams in tandem.

“The more you spend time with people and are able to communicate with them what you are feeling . . . the more logic and reason come back into your life.”   Meet your new best friend, Anne Cropper.  Anne is one of those people who takes you in, makes you laugh, makes you cry, and can give you some good fashion, food, and house tips on the side.  She is a resounding writer and Instagrammer whose main goal is connection.   Anne learned the power of connection as she faced a difficult adjustment to motherhood followed by the stresses of raising five very different children, as well as her struggles with both antepartum and postpartum depression.  She learned that letting people in is essential in overpowering the shame that fuels mental illness. By being open, Anne seeks to help other women know that they are not alone in their struggles, even if it's the struggle of taking your kids to McDonald's for the second time that week.   Anne also shares how she is the "Jane of all trades, master of none," how she views social media, why it's important to post both the bad and the beautiful, how she and her husband have had rounds of role reversals while their family business takes off, and what she has learned to let go of.    PSST: You do not want to miss out on the special deal Anne is offering our readers on their compression tights and recovery braces.  (See notes below!)   Show Notes Anne's blog and Instagram Her family's company, Bio Skin (USE PROGRESS20 FOR 20% OFF!)
