Parental discretion is strongly advised.IN THIS EPISODE: Could it possibly be true that the three-fingered mummies found in Peru, eventually deemed to be a hoax, are in fact real extraterrestrial bodies? New evidence seems to say so! (The Mysterious Three-Fingered Mummies of Peru – Alien or Hoax?) *** In the early morning hours of August 5, 1962, Marilyn Monroe was found dead inside her Los Angeles home of an apparent drug overdose — but suspicions of foul play have persisted ever since. (The Mysterious Death of Marilyn Monroe) *** Within the span of about 80 years two terrifying beasts emerged to haunt the imaginations of two European communities. From the werewolf of Ansbach to the mysterious Beast of Gévaudan, these creatures blurred the line between reality and legend, leaving a trail of death bodies, and people who even hundreds of years later in these areas are still frightened to go out after dark. (Two European Werewolves) *** The Hellfire Club, a secret society from the 1700s, provided a space for high-standing individuals to indulge in intellectual pursuits and social activities without judgment… but it also became infamous for its rumored hedonistic behaviors and dark rituals, though its true purpose and activities remain shrouded in mystery even today – making the rumors about it all the more tantalizing. (The Secret World of the Hellfire Club) *** In 2003, Christine Paolilla shocked her Texas community by going from a bullied high school student to a convicted killer. It's a tragic story of friendship, love, drugs, violence, and murder. (From Miss Irresistible to Mrs Murderer) *** Oakville, Washington, a small town with fewer than 1,000 residents, experienced an unusual event in the summer of 1994. On August 7th, clear gelatinous blobs fell from the sky, soon followed by a mysterious illness affecting the townspeople. Despite various theories, from jellyfish particles to star jelly, the true nature of the Oakville Blobs remains a mystery, leaving the town and the rest of the world without clear answers.

gowns. In our latest Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates Interview series episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with acclaimed historian and author Nancy Goldstone about her riveting new book, The Rebel Empresses. It's a dual biography that traces the intertwined lives of two women who refused to be footnotes in the grand story of European empire. Elisabeth (known as Sisi) and Eugénie were married into power, but they never conformed to it. They pushed boundaries—from challenging court politics to redefining women's roles in public life. One became the fashion icon of her age; the other quietly reformed prisons, promoted women's education, and preserved a nation's cultural identity. Yet both women lived through unimaginable personal sorrow. Nancy's storytelling reveals their complexity—not as tragic figures, but as bold, often misunderstood agents of change. For listeners 50+, their stories remind us it's never too late to be influential, purposeful… even radical.

Thanks to our Partner, NAPA Autotech TrainingKey Discussion Points:What is Reverse Benchmarking?Traditional benchmarking focuses on studying what competitors do well, but reverse benchmarking involves analyzing what they do poorly and capitalizing on those weaknesses.Two interpretations:Looking at other industries for innovative ideas (e.g., team-building activities from tech companies).Example: Some shops now adopt spontaneous team outings (baseball games, go-karting) inspired by Silicon Valley culture.Staying within the automotive industry to identify gaps in competitors' customer experience or service offerings.Applying Reverse Benchmarking in Auto RepairCustomer Experience:Visit competitor shops (dealerships, independents) and note flaws—uncomfortable waiting room chairs, poor TV choices, limited snack/drink options.Actionable Fixes: Upgrade seating, offer neutral TV content (e.g., Joy of Painting), provide filtered water instead of plastic bottles.Market Gaps:If competitors specialize in European cars (like Seth Thorson's shop), consider specializing in underserved markets (e.g., Asian brands like Hyundai, Kia, Nissan).Focus on services competitors avoid (advanced diagnostics, programming, driveline work).Technician-Level Reverse BenchmarkingIn a shop with a star "R&R tech," instead of competing directly, fill gaps (e.g., diagnostics, electrical troubleshooting) to become indispensable."See a need, fill a need"—position yourself as the go-to for overlooked but critical tasks.Why It WorksCreates a unique value proposition—whether for customers (better experience) or employers (specialized skills).Helps shops stand out in saturated markets by addressing unmet needs.Final Thoughts:Reverse benchmarking isn't new, but it's underutilized in automotive.Whether you're a shop owner, manager, or tech, observing competitors' weaknesses can reveal opportunities for growth.Contact InformationEmail Matt: mattfanslowpodcast@gmail.comDiagnosing the Aftermarket A - Z YouTube Channel Subscribe & Review: Loved this episode?

Lazio impressed with a good performance led by the sensational Pedro in a 2-2 draw with Inter. The result left our top-four hopes hanging by a thread, but we still have a small hope going into the final day against Lecce.

One of the most-cultured performances during Howard Kendall's tenure, the European Cup Winners' Cup final goes down as one of the greatest nights in Everton Football Club's history. The club's first and only European piece of silverware was achieved with a 3-1 on a sensational night in Rotterdam against Rapid Vienna. The final was held at Feijenoord Stadion in Rotterdam, Netherlands, on 15 May 1985. Everton, which dominated throughout, won the match 3–1 thanks to goals by Andy Gray, Trevor Steven and Kevin Sheedy.

Sean Brodrick, Editor of Wealth Megatrends and contributing analyst to Weiss Ratings Daily, joins us to outline why he is not convinced in the Wall Street narrative that the worst parts of the tariff implications are behind us, based on macroeconomic data he is following including the weakness in the US long bond, US dollar, and business guidance through year end.  He is only holding the highest conviction sectors like gold, precious metals stocks, dividend paying mid-tier oil and gas stocks, and utility stocks, in this continued environment of uncertainty.    We start off discuss the continued challenges to trade barriers, issues with the US deficit and increased debt loads, and international buyers still scaling out of US markets to repatriate funds into their own domestic stock markets.  Sean has been bullish European defense stocks, South American fintech and water stocks, and even Canadian stocks, although he's not yet transitioned to buying Japanese stocks at this point.  He is not convinced that large US tech stocks are in the same kind of safe upward trajectory that they have been for years and believe AI and other foreign platforms may be a threat to some domestic large-cap tech stocks.   With regards to the commodities sector, Sean is constructive that this recent pullback in gold has been a buying opportunity and is still bullish both gold and silver stocks in the medium-term.   He is also is getting interested in accumulating the better run intermediated oil and natural gas stocks that pay good dividends and may be the acquisition targets of the larger energy companies.  He likes nat gas power as a bridge energy for big data companies and AI, and still sees value in the utility stocks. This leads into a discussion on why he's still bullish in the longer-term for copper and copper equities, but doesn't feel it is as imminent or urgent to get positioned.   Click here to follow along with Sean's work at Weiss Ratings Daily and Wealth Megatrends   Click here to learn more about Resource Trader

Last summer, I spent the second half of the season wandering through the South of France and the coast of Spain—and I came back changed. The Mediterranean lifestyle softened me, grounded me, and helped me step into the most radiant version of myself—mentally, emotionally, and yes… physically. It wasn't about restriction or hustle. It was about pleasure. Beauty. Slowing down. Eating better. Living better. DOWNLOAD: Mediterranean Goddess Glow Up Guide Here This summer? I'm staying home.

A recent map published by the EU's Copernicus program is sounding the alarm ahead of wildfire season showing drought conditions and risk assessments across Europe. This is particularly alarming for southern European countries like Greece, which has seen devastating wildfires in recent years. Nikos Efstathiou, an independent journalist who is studying wildfires and how the media reports on them at the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism in Oxford, joins Thanos Davelis as we break down the latest data, the lessons learned from previous wildfires in Greece, and explore why the way we cover wildfires in the media matters.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Current drought situation in EuropeAthens seeks to curb Turkey's role in European defense industryGreek PM marks Pontic Genocide remembrance day

Welcome in for another edition of the Morning Espresso, presented by our friends at Oglethorpe University, Atlanta's premier undergraduate learning experience and soccer powerhouse. Wednesday's Europa League Final between Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur is possibly the most important game in the financial history of Manchester United. It's obviously important in that sense for Spurs as well, it will give them a place at the Champions League table next season, but it's more of a necessity for United. For a club that had the 4th highest amount of revenue in the world last season but still lost £113m, they simply cannot afford to lose out on the over £100m that qualifying for the Champions League guarantees. Because of that and the placement of the two teams in the Premier League table, this match has the feel of a relegation playoff more than a European final. I think it will have that feeling of desperation as well. Kickoff is tomorrow at 3pm, watch on Paramount+. Atlanta United 2 drew 2-2 last night at Crown Legacy after goals from Cayman Togashi and Javier Armas. The 2's are on a 4-match unbeaten run and host Orlando on Friday night at Fifth Third Stadium in Kennesaw. In the NWSL, the Chicago Stars have moved a September match to Northwestern's lakefront Martin Stadium. According to Jeff Kassouf of The Equalizer and ESPN, the Stars' lease is up at SeatGeek Stadium at the end of the year and Northwestern could be in play as a new home for the club. Wednesday night will see the Concacaf W Champions Cup semifinals take place as  Club América host Gotham FC, while Tigres take on Portland Thorns at 10:30 p.m. later that night. The winner of the tournament will qualify for the newly formed FIFA Women's Club World Cup. Speaking of Club World Cup, Flamengo is planning to add Arsenal's Jorginho to their squad for the tournament according to Fabrizio Romano. Inter are still negotiating with Marseille for Luiz Henrique and Real Madrid are closing in on Benfica LB Alvaro Carrera in a 40-50 million Euro deal. It was also announced yesterday that Manchester City will prepare for the tournament at Lynn University in Boca Raton, FL. Expect more announcements like that around the country as teams get ready for the tournament. The first match in Atlanta is set for June 16 as Chelsea will face the winner of the play-in match between Club América & LAFC. New ticket options are available at FIFA.com/tickets. I'll be live on 92.9 The Game tonight with Atlanta Soccer Tonight at 10pm, you can also listen on the Audacy app or on-demand at the Off The Woodwork podcast. More Morning Espresso will be served up on Thursday morning here on the SDH Network.

Pope Leo the Tenth, from the powerful Medici family.

Charles Schwab's Jeffrey Kleintop remains bullish on European stocks, citing a strong earnings season and economic data that's beating expectations. With the U.S. and Europe set to resume trade talks, Kleintop sees potential for a breakthrough, particularly if the E.U. agrees to increase defense spending. He notes that while some are calling for an end to the U.S. economic cycle, he believes these concerns are overblown and that international markets, including Europe, still offer more attractive valuations. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Two weeks after the far right's George Simion garnered a whopping 41 percent in the first round of presidential elections, a surge in voter turnout instead propelled the pro-EU mayor of Bucharest Nicosur Dan onto a rocky road to victory. Dan wasn't even a candidate when the constitutional council annulled last November's first round of voting and barred pro-Russian TikTok star Calin Georgescu over foreign meddling and campaign financing records that claimed zero spending whatsoever. The call to do over the election drew criticism from the likes of JD Vance and Elon Musk in the US but also from some European liberals who felt the issue should have been sorted at the ballot box. We'll ask how this result's going down and more broadly about a onetime Soviet bloc dictatorship often dogged by corruption and that's felt the growing pains of EU membership. What next for a frontline state to the war in Ukraine and how does the rest of Europe address the grievances of citizens in a fast-changing world? Produced by Rebecca Gnignati, Elisa Amiri, Jimena Morales-Velasco.

As many as three European countries voted over the weekend — with far-reaching consequences for the continent's political future. In Romania, the pro-European candidate Nicușor Dan prevailed. In Poland a runoff election between liberal Rafal Trzaskowski and national conservative Karol Nawrocki will decide the future. And in Portugal, despite the election victory of the centre-right party, there is once again the threat of an unstable government, while the far-right Chega Party is making massive gains. - Gleich drei europäische Länder haben am Wochenende gewählt – mit weitreichenden Konsequenzen für die politische Zukunft des Kontinents. In Rumänien setzte sich der pro-europäische Kandidat Nicușor Dan durch. In Polen läuft es auf eine Stichwahl zwischen dem liberalen Rafal Trzaskowski und dem nationalkonservativen Karol Nawrocki hinaus. Und in Portugal droht trotz Wahlsieg der Mitte-rechts-Partei erneut eine instabile Regierung, während die rechtsextreme Chega-Partei massiv zulegt.

Today we're delighted to welcome Guy Kinnings to the show. Guy is the CEO of European (DP World) Tour and Ryder Cup Europe. Our first venture into golf and it couldn't be better timed. An Incredible Rory McIlroy Masters win to kick off the season followed by a summer of elite culminating in the Ryder Cup in New York in September.  The business or politics of golf have been hotly debated since the inception of Saudi backed LIV Golf a few years ago. Big cheques attracting some of the world's top players put huge pressure on the DP World Tour & PGA Tour to retain talent and continue to create elite sporting events. As Guy talks through today, this should be viewed as a development of the game; an opportunity to build on the successes of what have gone before while elevating the global product of golf. Naturally, with responsibility falling on his shoulders (behind the scenes at least) to deliver a rare Ryder Cup away win, there is plenty of conversation around what makes one of the most special events in sport tick. In a sport of genuine global icons and unparalleled moments of drama, we take a look at how the game develops behind the glamour of the 18th green. On today's show we discuss: What is the DP World Tour: There are many tours and competitions taking place around the world. What is the DP World Tour responsible for? Who gets to play on the Tour? How the reference to ‘European' is a misnomer; this is a sporting organisation with global reach. The finances associated with golf. From major sponsorship and broadcast deals to the cost of creating elite sporting events. With many of the key European players going and playing their golf on the PGA Tour in America, how do they retain value and participation at the top of the DP Tour? What does the strategic alliance with the PGA Tour look like and how have they been impacted by the arrival of LIV Golf? Athletes as Icons: Golf has produced some of sport's most famous names; the rise of Jack Nicklas, Arnold Palmer, Tiger Woods and now Rory McIlroy. The Rory McIlory effect: from completing the grand slam winning the Masters to driving the European game forward, how important is individual stardom in the sport? How the commercial value of talent can drive a tournament forward or undermine its credibility. Where do the opportunities lie for golfers to really write their name in the history books: a Ryder Cup special! If golfers were on the stock market, which player would Guy invest in? The Future of Golf: The arrival of LIV has brought in private equity investment and a new set of eyeballs. Should this be viewed as an opportunity to grow the game at all levels? Building value in new markets can create additional opportunities for organisations like the DP World Tour to develop. How influential is something like the Ryder Cup in shaking off some negative perceptions of the sport? Is golf genuinely accessible and if not, can more be done to bring the game to areas of the world with the least access? A huge thank you to our partners RUNNA.

Meanwhile, a leaked proposal reveals a U.S.-backed effort to relocate 1 million Palestinians to Libya, raising alarm over European security and regional stability.

#817 | Ed and Dominic look forward to the Europa League final in Bilbao, where United and Spurs face off for an oversized trophy and a place in next season's Champions League. For the Reds this is a path to growth and redemption; an accelerant to Ruben Amorim's faltering time in charge. Defeat will leave the club £100m short in the summer transfer market and without any European football next season. The game's importance really cannot be overstated.

SWANS founder Michael Gira discusses his final orchestrated album "Birthing," his creative process, and plans to transition to a simpler musical approach after decades of creating intense, transcendent live performances. Topics Include: Michael introduces "Birthing" as SWANS' final orchestrated album. Future SWANS work will be much simpler. He's 71 and finds intense performances physically demanding. No clear vision yet for his next musical phase. SWANS will tour US in October, then Europe. He finds Australian tours difficult due to jet lag. Triple vinyl/double CD includes concert film and documentary. Marco Porzia filmed the SWANS documentary. Christopher Nicholson filmed a solo performance in Norway. Great shows happen when "the music plays us." Natural venue acoustics enhance the performance experience. Songs transform and lengthen throughout tours. One song evolved to 82 minutes during tour. Three-hour sets leave performers exhausted afterward. Songs begin on acoustic guitar before band elaboration. He listens to guitar sound hole to hear potential harmonics. Directs band through gestures during live performances. The recording happened immediately after European tour ended. Uses same old Guild acoustic guitar for decades. Vinyl editions required some song edits for length. Gira doesn't listen to much music anymore. He art directs all SWANS releases personally. Created unique limited editions with handmade elements. Has done crowdfunding since 2000 for recording budgets. Once recorded personalized songs for top contributors. Will miss the elation of building live crescendos. No current plans for more fiction writing. Reluctant to write autobiography despite family encouragement. Can mentally play entire album from memory. Recently rediscovered early Led Zeppelin's brilliance. Order the SWANS LP "Birthing" here.
