We should have reached the peak of the water levels we'll see on the Thames River this week, frontline Chatham-Kent police officers are going to start wearing cameras, and the deadline to file nomination papers for the federal election is today.

Water levels along the Thames River are beginning to drop. CK Public Health is reporting another measles exposure site in Tilbury. Frontline Chatham-Kent police officers are going to start wearing cameras. A Wallaceburg woman is facing charges after she allegedly hit a child she didn't know with a stick. A single-vehicle crash in Middlesex County has led to impaired driving charges for a Wallaceburg woman. A popular and colourful fundraiser for the Rotary Club of Chatham Sunrise is back.

We haven't seen the peak of the flooding along the Thames River yet, there are hundreds of thousands of dollars up for approval again this year through Chatham-Kent's Together CK Grant Program, and the stock market is setting up for another day of big losses.

You could see some noticeable flooding along the Thames River this weekend if the current forecast holds up, Entegrus Powerlines is pushing to improve the reliability of electricity in Blenheim, and an OPP campaign targeting distracted drivers wraps up today.

Heavy rain and thunderstorms are expected to cause flooding along the Thames River this week. An alert citizen is getting credit for an arrest following a break-in and theft in Chatham last month. The Windsor-Tecumseh-Lakeshore Conservative candidate has been pulled from the federal election. Ontario is raising the minimum wage again. Canada's fruit and vegetable growers are calling for a dedicated emergency fund to keep them afloat during the trade war.

U.S. President Donald Trump has signed an order saying that Canadian and Mexican goods covered by North America's free-trade agreement will be temporarily exempted from American tariffs. Ontario Premier Doug Ford plans to keep retaliatory measures in place until all U.S. tariffs are lifted. The risk of flooding along the Thames River in Chatham-Kent has been downgraded for now. The organizers of Wednesday's job fair in CK say the event was a huge success. If you still haven't received your $200 rebate cheque from the Ontario government, it could still be on the way. Canada's Public Health Agency has put a travel notice in place for all countries because of the rise in the number of measles cases.

The risk of flooding along the Thames River in Chatham-Kent has been downgraded for now, the North American stock markets opened lower this morning because of concerns about U.S. tariffs, and Chatham-Kent council will be talking tariffs tonight, too.

The advance polls open today for the provincial election, former Walpole Island First Nation Councillor Ernest "Rex" Isaac has died, and the Canada Water Agency is looking to work with local farmers to prevent algae blooms in Lake Erie caused by phosphorus loading in the Thames River.

Join Matt & Todd as they discuss the forgotten 1992 Sci-Fi Killer-Thriller: Split Second, starring Rutger Hauer, Neil (Alistair) Duncan, and Kim Cattrall. Detective Harley Stone (Hauer) is tracking an elusive killer that tears the hearts from its victims in a near-future (actually, past-future) 2008 London, ravaged by the flooded waters of the Thames River. A bloody streak of killings every 12 years has the haggard Stone at the end of his rope, and his straight-laced, fresh-faced partner Dick questioning the supernatural and extraterrestrial.  Split Second feels like a blend of low-key sci-fi thrillers from the '80s, wrapped in Blade Runner-esque visuals, great performances, and endless rushing water. Split Second is available on multiple free and subscription streaming services in the US and worldwide. If you're a collector, you'll want to track this one down! Near-future Rutger Hauer sci-fi, police-procedural killer-thriller, cool guns, great lines, and gallons of fun.

Today I talked to Heather Redmond about her new novel Death and the Visitors (Kensington, 2024). In this second Regency-era mystery featuring Mary Godwin Shelley, the author of Frankenstein, the sixteen-year-old heroine (still Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin at this point in her life) and her stepsister and close lifetime companion, Jane Clairmont, are facing even greater penury and discomfort than in the first book, Death and the Sisters (2023), as a result of their parents' profligacy and the absence of Mary's older half-sister, banished to Wales because of her excessive attachment to the married poet Percy Bysshe Shelley and thus unable to help Jane and Mary with their chores. The girls live in a run-down house in a disreputable London neighborhood not far from Newgate Prison and the Smithfield meat market, where they spend their days watching their parents' bookshop. Their father, an illustrious political thinker and writer, doesn't earn enough to support five children and a wife. As a result, he has fallen into the grip of moneylenders, and creditors show up on his doorstep with some regularity, embarrassing him and his family. When a group of rich Russians arrives, determined to meet the daughter of the renowned Mary Wollstonecraft, Mary's father persuades one of them to support the Godwin publishing enterprise with a gift of diamonds. But the day after their scheduled meeting, a body identified as the Russian donor is pulled out of the Thames River. Mary sets out with her sister and Shelley to solve the mystery of the Russian's murder, hoping to retrieve the diamonds and buy herself and her family some time. This is the Regency as we have come to know it from the novels of C.S. Harris and Andrea Penrose, among others: opulent on the surface but full of grit and poverty behind the glittering façade. How closely Shelley, Jane, and Mary resemble their historical selves is uncertain, but it's a rollicking good tale and deserves to be enjoyed on its own terms. Learn more about your ad choices.

From the United States and Britain to Russia and South America, cats often appear in famous public places. 从美国和英国到俄罗斯和南美洲，猫咪经常出现在著名的公共场所。Cat fans say the animals bring value to the places where they live. Cats can add a cute element or reduce the number of rodents. Sometimes, cats even come to define the place they live in. 猫咪爱好者认为这些动物为它们生活的地方带来了价值。猫咪可以增添可爱的元素或减少啮齿动物的数量。有时，猫咪甚至成为了它们所居住场所的象征。In 2020, a green-eyed cat named Willow appeared at a Joe Biden campaign event in Pennsylvania. The cat jumped onstage and left with soon-to-be first lady Jill, who later wrote a book about the creature. 2020年，一只名叫Willow的绿眼猫出现在宾夕法尼亚州的一次乔·拜登竞选活动中。这只猫跳上了舞台，并与即将成为第一夫人的吉尔一起离开，吉尔后来还写了一本关于这只猫的书。But the White House is not the only well-known place in the United States to house cats. 但白宫并不是美国唯一一个有猫的著名地点。The Hemingway Homes and Museum, in Key West, Florida has fifty-nine cats that move freely through the estate. Half of the creatures are related to Hemingway's own six-toed cat, Snow White. 位于佛罗里达州基韦斯特的海明威故居和博物馆有五十九只猫，它们可以在庄园内自由活动。其中一半的猫都与海明威的六趾猫雪白有关。Visitors are kept away from the furniture, but the animals sit on the writer's desk. A large “Cat Bible” shows the family history, or lineage, of the resident cats. 游客们不能触碰家具，但这些猫咪却可以坐在作家的书桌上。一本厚厚的《猫圣经》展示了这些猫咪的家族历史或血统。Alexa Morgan of the Hemingway museum said the cats bring extra public interest. 海明威博物馆的Alexa Morgan说，这些猫咪带来了额外的公众兴趣。“We have visitors that come here for Hemingway, and then once they see the cats and they love them, then it's like they visit again so they can come back and see the cats,” she said. “我们有些游客是为了海明威而来，但一旦他们看到这些猫咪并爱上它们，他们就会再来参观，这样他们就能再次看到这些猫咪，”她说道。In Britain, there is Lilibet. 在英国，有一只名叫Lilibet的猫。She is a Siberian Forest cat who spends time sitting by the fire at the Lanesborough Hotel in London. Plenty of people visit the hotel just to see the cat, who is named after Queen Elizabeth II, said managing director Stuart Geddes. 她是一只西伯利亚森林猫，经常坐在伦敦兰斯伯勒酒店的火炉旁。总经理Stuart Geddes表示，很多人来酒店只是为了看这只猫，它的名字来源于伊丽莎白二世女王。Lilibet has special hair known as hypoallergenic fur. That means her hair is not likely to cause problems for people who are sensitive to cat hair. Lilibet is not the only cat living in an important British building. Lilibet有一种特殊的被毛，称为低过敏性毛发。这意味着她的毛发不太可能引起对猫毛敏感的人的问题。Lilibet并不是唯一一只生活在英国重要建筑里的猫。Hodge sits inside Southwark Cathedral, which was established in 1106. He moves around bringing happiness to visitors and going into the shop for treats. Hodge住在南华克大教堂内，这座教堂建于1106年。他四处走动，为游客带来欢乐，并去商店讨零食。Not far away, across the Thames River, is Larry, the famous cat of 10 Downing St., the official home of the prime minister of Britain. Larry has stayed longer than most prime ministers — Kier Starmer is his sixth. 不远处，在泰晤士河对岸，有一只名叫Larry的猫，它是英国首相官邸唐宁街10号的著名猫咪。Larry待的时间比大多数首相都长——基尔·斯塔默是他的第六位首相。Employed as Chief Mouser to the Cabinet Office, Larry pays his way by keeping the prime minister's office and home more cat than mouse. Larry受雇于内阁办公室，担任首席捕鼠官，他通过保持首相办公室和官邸里猫比鼠多来“支付”自己的生活费用。He has lasted longer than his rival Palmerston, a previous Foreign Office cat who retired to the British countryside in 2020. 他比他的对手Palmerston待得更久，后者是一只曾在外交部工作的猫，已于2020年退休，去了英国乡村生活。Cats also live in the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg, Russia. 猫咪们也生活在俄罗斯圣彼得堡的冬宫博物馆里。About 80 cats get to call Catherine the Great's palace home in return for keeping the pest population down. They have their own press officer and volunteer assistants, who keep them publicized, fed, and watered while they walk around Russia's state museum. 大约有80只猫将叶卡捷琳娜大帝的宫殿称为家，以换取减少害虫数量的工作。它们有自己的新闻官和志愿者助手，帮助它们在俄罗斯国家博物馆四处走动时宣传、喂食和饮水。In Venezuela, under a banner of Hugo Chavez, an unnamed cat has become well-known to the journalists of Caracas. Often found moving near TV crews at the National Electoral Council, this mysterious animal keeps reporters company as they wait for updates. 在委内瑞拉，一只无名猫在雨果·查韦斯的旗帜下，已经成为加拉加斯记者们的熟悉面孔。这只神秘的动物经常出现在国家选举委员会附近的电视摄制组旁，陪伴记者们等待新闻更新。Far away in another part of the world, Lule is so beloved at the Day and Night bar in Pristina, Kosovo, that her cat face has become its symbol. Owner Genc Salihu says she is part of the family, and people come just to see and pet Lule. 在世界的另一边，Lule在科索沃普里什蒂纳的昼夜酒吧里备受喜爱，她的猫脸已经成为酒吧的象征。酒吧老板Genc Salihu说她是家庭的一部分，人们来这里只是为了见到和抚摸Lule。“She is very much the soul of this place,” he said. “她几乎就是这个地方的灵魂，”他说道。

The 1881 Steamboat Victoria disaster in London, Ontario, Canada, remains one of the most tragic maritime accidents in Canadian history. On May 24, 1881, the Victoria, a paddlewheel steamboat, was packed with passengers enjoying a holiday excursion on the Thames River. However, tragedy struck when the boat became unstable, and its boiler came loose from its mountings. The boiler crashed through the support stanchions, causing the upper deck to collapse on those below, and the boat to sink. Over 180 passengers perished.

When Eva Barrett decides to give mudlarking on the Thames River foreshore a go, she finds something very strange during low tide. Content Advisory: “Mudlarking” is pretty tame. There's some violence in the form of fighting, and even then: it's not brutal “people-are-dying fighting” — more like light action movie fighting. And when it comes […]

March 29th: "Adam" Torso in the Thames Identified (2011) Some cases, unfortunately, have so little information it is likely the mystery will never be solved. On March 29th 2011 an identity was given in a decade long cold case and, with that, came the hope that the case would finally be solved. Yet, as of now, it remains a cold case. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_(murder_victim), https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-58415046, https://www.crimeandinvestigation.co.uk/article/adam-the-boy-whose-torso-was-found-in-the-thames, https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10012275/Fresh-appeal-torso-Thames-killer.html, https://www.talkmurderwithme.com/blog/2022/4/14/adam-torso-in-the-thames, https://unresolved.me/adam Learn more about your ad choices.

During the Little Ice Age, much of the northern hemisphere was plunged into a deep freeze. Winters were so cold that the Thames River in England froze over, and the Vikings had to abandon their settlements in Greenland. Summers were chilly, rainy, and gloomy – perhaps helping inspire Mary Shelley to write “Frankenstein.”That era incorporates a time when the Sun was especially quiet. Known as the Maunder Minimum, it lasted from about 1645 to 1715. Astronomers recorded few sunspots then — they sometimes went months or years without seeing a single one. With less activity, the Sun emits less energy. That suggests the Sun could be at least partially responsible for the Little Ice Age.A recent study found that not only was the Sun especially quiet during that era, but its cycle of magnetic activity was especially short.At the peak of a solar cycle, the Sun is covered with many sunspots, and it produces big explosions of gas and energy. The cycle lasts an average of about 11 years, although it can vary by a couple of years either way. The study found that the cycles during the Maunder Minimum lasted only about eight years.Researchers looked at records of auroras kept by Korean astronomers. Auroras are created by particles from the Sun, so their intensity and location can reveal the Sun’s activity level. The study found a clear eight-year cycle in the records – a short cycle during an era that was short on warmth. Script by Damond Benningfield

Pinkie & Mildred talk about the City of London !VoiceRenee@charter.net

Murder by Decree is a 1979 mystery thriller directed by Bob Clark (Director of ‘Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things' and 'Dead of Night' (not the brilliant black and white British film from 1945 - featured in episode 13, but the 1974 American film ), he also directed ‘Black Christmas', ‘Porkys' and ‘Porkys 2' Murder by Decree was written by playwright John Hopkins, who scripted the Bond film Thunderball, and the Alec Guinness TV version of Smileys People. Hopkins referenced Conan Doyle's work, particularly Holmes' deduction and science skills but downplayed other aspects of the characters, such as Holmes' drug use, in favour of making them more likeable and human.Peter O'Toole was originally cast as Sherlock Holmes, and Sir Laurence Olivier was cast as Dr. Watson. But the two actors had not worked well together in the past, and were unable to overcome their differences for this movie. Rather, Holmes is played by Christopher (Captain Georg von Trapp) Plummer and Dr. Watson is played by James Mason.Plummer, described by IMDB as“ perhaps Canada's greatest thespian”, turned down the role of Gandalf in Sir Peter Jackson's "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, and admits to regretting that decision. Question for James and Jon? Christopher Plummer had two roles in common with Peter Cushing, can you name them?James Mason reportedly, he once saved the life of Max Bygraves' son at a party at Judy Garland's house. The boy fell into the pool and Max did not notice. James Mason did and, fully clothed, he jumped into the water and pulled him out. He was scheduled to play James Bond in a 1958 television adaptation of "From Russia with Love", which was ultimately never produced. Later, despite being in his 50s, Mason was a contender to play Bond in Dr. No before Sean Connery was cast. He later turned down the role of Hugo Drax in the James Bond film Moonraker, which went to Michael Lonsdale.In his autobiography, "In Spite of Myself", Plummer noted that Mason was the best Watson he had seen, and that his death halted a proposed furthering of their on-screen partnership.The film also features:David Hemmings (Blow Up, Deep Red, Brabarella, Gladiator, Magnum Pi and Airwolf) as Inspector Foxborough, Anthony Quayle (Lawrence of Arbia, The Guns of Navarone) as Sir Charles Warren, Frank Finlay (Lifeforce, The Three Musketeers) as Inspector Lestrade, Geneviève Bujold as Annie Crook, Susan Clark as Mary Kelly, John Gielgud as Prime Minister Lord Salisbury, Donald Sutherland as Robert Lees and the Mighty June Brown as Anne ChapmanThe film's premise of the plot behind the murders is influenced by the book Jack the Ripper: The Final Solution, by Stephen Knight, who presumed that the killings were part of a Masonic plot. The original script contained the names of the historical suspects, Sir William Gull and John Netley. In the actual film, they are represented by fictional analogues: Thomas Spivy (Gull) and William Slade (Netley). This theory on the perpetrators of the killings is featured in a number of other Jack the Ripper-themed fictions, including the graphic novel ‘From Hell'.The replica nineteenth century dockland set took two months and fifty men to construct at Shepperton Studio's largest soundstage. The set also included a replica muddy Thames River, Alien was shooting concurrently in the same studios.Support the show by buying from our affiliate links…https://tinyurl.com/Murder-Decree-Blu-rayhttps://tinyurl.com/Murder-Decree-DVDhttps://tinyurl.com/From-Hell-Bookhttps://tinyurl.com/From-Hell-Companion-bookhttps://tinyurl.com/The-Five-Book Get bonus content on PatreonSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/general-witchfinders.

Oneika Raymond travels to the heart of Peckham, a bustling neighborhood in South London just a few miles southeast of the Thames River. There, she joins local author Jendella Benson for a walking tour of the district she holds dear. Peckham is where Jendella set her debut novel, Hope and Glory, in order to pay tribute to the town and its Nigerian-British community.Oneika meets up with Jendella at Peckham Rye station to kick off the tour of Rye Lane, Peckham's main thoroughfare and the place to shop its local markets, dine on international flavors, and people watch. No matter the day of the week, Rye Lane is buzzing thanks to its numerous markets, food vendors, and beauty salons.  Then, Jendella takes Oneika to Peckhamplex, a cinema tucked back from Rye Lane. With its £4.99 tickets, it's a staple for a casual night out. They also view Peckham Portraits, a collection of images of iconic Black British actors changing the face of cinema.From there, Oneika and Jendella duck into a traditional indoor Peckham market, where they marvel at the textiles, imported peanuts, and shea butter. It's truly one-stop shopping, and indicative of the entrepreneurial spirit of the neighborhood. The last stop on the tour is Peckham Palms, a modern interpretation of Peckham's indoor markets, and a Black-women led mall that's supporting local innovation. Peckham is a Black-beauty hub, and the Palms provides affordable rent and fosters community. They end the day at The Flygerians, a café-in-residence at the Palms run by local sisters Jess and Jo Edun. While chowing down on Nigerian street food specialties like jollof rice bowls and efo riro, Oneika and Jendella discuss how Peckham inspired Hope and Glory, how reading can be one of the most authentic ways to travel, and Jendella's best advice to engage with the community when you visit Peckham.To read full episode transcripts from About the Journey and see photos of each featured destination, head to About the Journey on Marriott Bonvoy Traveler.

Prior to Henry VIII's dissolution of the monasteries in 1538, the section of London known as Blackfriars was as major religious institution extending along the bank of the Thames River. In its' entirety, Blackfriars was second in size only to St. Paul's Churchyard. After the Reformation, Blackfriars was located in what's known as a Liberty, which meant it was just outside the reach of the mayoral law. Being outside the mayor's jurisdiction made Blackfriars especially attractive to entrepreneurs like The Burbages and their star writer, William Shakespeare, who wanted to open a theater that wasn't subject to the tighter restrictions of London proper. Blackfriars wasn't only attractive to innovative theater professionals, however, it was also attractive to immigrants and the highly religious who were seeking freedom from the regulation of guilds. At the time that Shakespeare and the Burbages were looking at Blackfriars as a home for their theater, the parish of St Anne, Blackfriars, was dominated by godly clergy and parishioners, the people we usually think of as the enemies of theater. Here today to explain to us how Blackfriars theater was able to survive and thrive in this section of London is our guest, Chris Highley.   Get bonus episodes on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Fans of Sebastian St. Cyr, Viscount Devlin, know that the individual tales that form his saga combine complex, fast-paced, often political mysteries with a series of revelations about his family's history that it would be churlish to reveal. All this takes place against the background of the Napoleonic Wars, mostly in Regency-era London with its vast social gap between the aristocratic rich and the starving, crime-ridden poor. The eighteenth of Sebastian's adventures, Who Cries for the Lost (Berkley Books, 2023) begins a few days before the Battle of Waterloo, a cataclysmic event—unknown to the characters, obviously—that will end Napoleon's military ambitions once and for all. A mutilated body is fished out of the Thames River and taken to Paul Gibson—a friend of Sebastian's who served as a surgeon during the Peninsular War—for an autopsy. When Paul's lover identifies the victim as her former husband and an aristocrat, the creaky wheels of the London policing system grind into gear. The Thames River Police may provide as much hope for justice as the costermongers and wherry boatmen of the city deserve, but a nobleman falls under the jurisdiction of Bow Street. As the number of corpses rises and pressure from the Prince Regent in Carlton House intensifies, Sebastian must race to solve a series of baffling, seemingly disconnected murders before the outcry demanding a solution leads to the arrest and execution of his friends. Meanwhile, the country anxiously awaits reports from the Duke of Wellington's army on the Continent, further stoking the tension, even as Sebastian confronts the reality of his nation's past misdeeds during the war and wonders whether those atrocities explain the crimes being committed in the present. Candice Proctor, aka C.S. Harris and C.S. Graham, is the USA Today bestselling, award-winning author of more than two dozen novels, including the Sebastian St. Cyr Regency mystery series written under the name C.S. Harris, the C.S. Graham thriller series co-written with Steven Harris, and seven historical romances. She is also the author of a nonfiction historical study of women in the French Revolution. C. P. Lesley is the author of two historical fiction series set during the childhood of Ivan the Terrible and three other novels. Her latest book, Song of the Storyteller, appeared in January 2023.

Connecticut's tribes need to agree on a new name for the Thames River. Lawmakers can't seem to agree on a solution to the state's housing crisis. Bridgeport police could be changing unions. And fiscal watchdogs say New York's surplus won't last.

Special thanks to Caine, and a mystery writer, whose identity is revealed in the episode, and who wrote this poem:Thomas, a fan of Bond so bold, With knowledge of British tales untold,Set out to educate and teach, His passion for culture within him to reach,He spoke of knights and of lords so grand,Of misty moors and rolling green land,Of scones and tea, and royal charm, And all the history that kept Britain warm,His words were met with doubt and with fear,But Thomas pressed on, year after year, With courage and wit, and a twinkle in eye,He showed the world what Britain's culture was highAnd though some may still not understand, Thomas' efforts will always stand, A testament to his love and his zeal,For educating the world, a true culture connoisseur real. I love it! I also talk about Tim Berners-Lee, Time Lords, the TARDIS, and very briefly, the Thames River in London.

Today I talked to Karen Odden about her new book Under a Veiled Moon (Crooked Lane Books, 2022). When the Princess Alice pleasure boat collides with a huge iron-hulled cargo ship on the Thames River, it's split in half, and only 130 of the 650 passengers and crew members survive. It's 1878, and clues point to sabotage by the Irish Republican Brotherhood, which has already used violence in hopes of restoring Home Rule. Inspector Michael Corravan, who was born in Ireland, orphaned, and raised in London by an Irish family, knows that the British will never allow Home Rule in Ireland if the IRB is to blame for the disaster. Meanwhile, violence is rising in his old neighborhood, and Colin Doyle, the youngest of his adopted family, has joined one of the violent Irish gangs. He refuses Corravan's offer of help, which puts the entire family in danger. With support from colleagues, his good friends Mr. Gordon Stiles and Mrs. Belinda Gale, Inspector Corravan presses on to uncover the truth. KAREN ODDEN received her Ph.D. in English literature from New York University, writing her dissertation on Victorian railway disasters and the origins of PTSD. She has taught at UW-Milwaukee, written essays for numerous books and journals, and edited for the journal Victorian Literature and Culture (Cambridge UP). She freely admits she might be more at home in Victorian London than today, especially when she tries to do anything complicated on her iPhone. All of her mysteries are set in 1870s London. Her first novel, A LADY IN THE SMOKE, about a young woman in a 1874 railway crash, was a USA Today bestseller. In A DANGEROUS DUET, Nell Hallam, an ambitious young pianist stumbles on a notorious crime ring while playing in a Soho music hall. In A TRACE OF DECEIT, Annabel Rowe, a young painter at the Slade School of Art, must delve below the glitter of the art and auction world to uncover the truth about her brother's murder. A member of Mystery Writers of America and Sisters in Crime, Karen was awarded a 2021 Grant from Arizona Commission on the Arts. Under a Veiled Moon is the second novel in her Inspector Corravan series, following Down a Dark River. An avid desert hiker, Karen lives in Scottsdale, Arizona with her family and her rescue beagle muse, Rosy. Learn more about your ad choices.
