Podcasts about Base

So many offices out there think growth has to come from new patients. Tiff and Kristy share specific areas in your practice where you can increase what you're pulling in. This includes fee analyses, unscheduled patients, a finely tuned schedule, and more.

And Kristy, I have Kristy here with me today. And like I said, Kristy, you are just like a learning magnet. I love it because you just have this broad spectrum, this range of things that you love consuming, and you bring so much knowledge to the Dental A Team consulting team. So, Kristy.   Thank you for being here with us today. I am excited for today's topic. and before we dive in, how are you? How has your podcasting been? You listen to, you consume a lot. And then you you're   DAT- Kristy (01:37) Yeah.   Tiffanie (01:38) someone that consumes but also utilizes what you consume, which I think is a special skill. So how are you? How's your world? How's your learning? What's new for you?   DAT- Kristy (01:47) Yeah, it's going good, Tiff. it's beginning of the week, so it's always fun to dive in and hear the things. I think lately it's really been around insurance and getting payments on time. They're doing some sneaky stuff with payments, so keeping clients apprised to that and making sure the revenue's coming in. But beyond that, like you're right. I I do like to to listen and stay up on things so that we can share with our   not just our clients, but even like you said, future clients or people listening to the podcast.   Tiffanie (02:22) Yeah, I agree. I know you're gonna say insurance. That has been a bug this year. Insurance   DAT- Kristy (02:27) Mm-hmm.   Tiffanie (02:27) the insurance bug is what we will call it. and   DAT- Kristy (02:30) Yeah.   Tiffanie (02:30) I love it because I know I can I can pick your brain for so many things and you do stay up on so many forums and you're always reading. but then on the opposite end of that spectrum, like I know I I know you will what does Kiera call you? A truffle, a truffle hunter, right? Like you're gonna find those truffles in the forest.   within the insurance and the billing world, but also you love leadership, like growth and development and this the non-dental leadership podcast of the world and books and we're always talking about that stuff. So I think it's really cool and very valuable for everybody and and gives you just a ton of credibility as we speak to a lot of the things we're gonna talk about.   DAT- Kristy (03:15) thank you, Teff.   Tiffanie (03:16) Of course. and yes, it is early in the week starting my   Starting my Monday podcasting is really fun. And starting my Monday podcasting with Kristy brings it down. It's only 10 a.m. and I feel like it has been a whirlwind this morning. So knowing   DAT- Kristy (03:31) Yeah.   Tiffanie (03:31) that I'm here, I'm like, okay, actually we're gonna breathe. So I hope all of our listeners feel that. Kristy brings a sense of calm to every every space that you enter. so thank you for doing that for me today. I need it.   DAT- Kristy (03:44) Absolutely, my pleasure.   Tiffanie (03:46) So, Kristy, this is something I think you're really great at. I do go through and and this was the first podcast on our list, and I was like, Yeah, this is Kristy's podcast. If we do no more   DAT- Kristy (03:56) Mm-hmm.   Tiffanie (03:56) today, it's at least this one. And we really wanted to speak to the podcasting world here and and dental listeners about how to find growth within a practice without physically growing the practice. And this is something that has come up a lot. And I think Kristy.   I've at least had a lot of I've been experiencing this. I've had a lot of practices that are like tapped out on space, right? Like physical space. And after 2020, right? The year of 2020, March to December, this massive boom, right? We had this tank of like, what are we gonna do? And then we just had this massive boom and this influx. And so I think what I saw happen is a ton of practices remodeled or they did expansions, they added as much as they physically could.   And they're kind of tapped out. I know I have you know some that are like if I build anymore, I don't have parking where my patients gonna park. And so   DAT- Kristy (04:50) That's seven.   Tiffanie (04:51) they're finding themselves in this space or they're finding themselves in this space where maybe they don't have the finances right now to physically build or the capability and it doesn't make sense to. So we push growth. We're always saying, you know, seven to ten percent, ten percent is our goal, at seven percent is a minimum, a bare minimum to keep up with inflation. And my   Clients, you know, a lot of my practices are looking at me like, okay, Tiff, like that's crazy. So I wanted to chat today through some ideas that we utilize and Kristy that you bring to the table specifically to increase that like dollar per hour, that bottom line, that production collection space without physically increasing maybe even our patient base. Cause Kristy also have got a ton of practices.   that are struggling for new patients. We're like scraping the bottom of the braille all trying to find new patients. So yeah, that's where we're at. We're just like, how do you grow without pouring water on a plant and growing it, you know?   DAT- Kristy (05:52) Mm-hmm. Absolutely. Tip, I love this subject because so many offices think that it all has to come from new patients, you know? And sometimes new patients can be expensive if we're looking for outside marketing, right? And we have so much to tap into within our practices already. And first and foremost, I always like to say when's the last time you did a fee evaluation? a lot of people after COVID.   really didn't tap into this. And I speak to doctors almost every day who think they were at the 80th percentile. And when we look at it, they're down in the 40th or 50th percentile, you know? And I also say tip with that, a lot of docs are hesitant to to look at this because they're like, I'm so high PPO. And I always say, hey, if you don't raise your fees, they're never going to raise theirs either. So   Tiffanie (06:47) Yeah.   DAT- Kristy (06:48) Taking a look at that first and foremost is huge.   Tiffanie (06:51) I totally agree with that. It's something that's overlooked. I love what you said about the PPO space because so many doctors are like, what difference does it make? I'm tied to these fee schedules or nobody ever sees my UCR. Well, they do. The insurance companies see it. And I actually have a practice, I don't remember who I was podcasting with, but we spoke about them a couple weeks ago that they do their fee analysis and updates in during the summer. It's their slow time and so   DAT- Kristy (07:16) Mm.   Tiffanie (07:18) they do it during the summer.   when there's space and there's time because January, you know, that's an influx of just   DAT- Kristy (07:24) Basically.   Tiffanie (07:25) yeah, is it crazy. And so they move that task to the summer, which I think is really smart. And we actually just went through and did a fee analysis and found that they're they have a couple of insurances that are paying in network almost to their UCR fees. And their UCR fees are not low, right? They're getting like a thousand to eleven hundred dollars for a crown.   So when we requested a fee increase, right, they're like, hey, we're already paying 90% or 95% of your UCR, so we're denying it right now. And to your point, Kristy, they need to change their UCR because their insurances are following those UCR fees, right?   DAT- Kristy (08:06) Yeah.   Tiffanie (08:07) And so many practices overlook that and just go with the flow, and they just like muscle memory, they just keep.   you just keep doing it, right? You're like Dory, just keep swimming and you just don't think about what's behind you. And increasing   DAT- Kristy (08:20) Yeah.   Tiffanie (08:21) those UCRs makes a massive difference, especially when you're a PPO   dentist in the area that's at that 50th percentile. You need to be way higher. And if no one's seeing those UCR fees, great. Then guess what? You don't have to have that conversation with your with your patients.   that their fees are increasing because you increased fees. Like no now your insurances see those fee increases and then you can request fee increases from them for your fee schedules.   DAT- Kristy (08:49) Yeah, exactly. I think it's a it's a huge missed opportunity if if you haven't looked at them in a while. And and I like to say look at once a year. I mean, it it really is worth it and it fluctuates. And don't forget your products if you're selling products. Like make   Tiffanie (09:05) Yes.   DAT- Kristy (09:05) sure you're updating those and looking at invoices. Make sure you're you're charging the correct, you know, a lot of offices don't add on for like   toothbrushes and that sort of stuff, you could actually be going in the hole if you haven't looked at it in a while. So   Tiffanie (09:20) Absolutely. I have had so many practices that were that look back, you know, they haven't done it in three, four years and they look at it and they're like, my gosh, I'm literally losing money on fluoride. Like, we haven't updated our fees, so my fluoride costs more than what I'm charging my patients. And I'm like, Yeah, and that's an easy   DAT- Kristy (09:37) Crazy.   Tiffanie (09:38) one. And even like to your point the oral bee and crest and all of them, they increase inflation, right, is everywhere. So if your goodie bags are, you know, costing a certain amount   Add that in too. Take that into consideration because you've got to pay for those somehow, and we forget that those freebies are coming out of our overhead somewhere. We've got to make   DAT- Kristy (09:59) Yeah,   agree with you, Tiff. you know, the other area that I like is looking at your unscheduled patients. I mean,   Tiffanie (10:07) Right.   DAT- Kristy (10:08) so many of my practices have a whole practice within a practice and and we get busy and we think we we don't have time to call on those. And I like to say it's a proactive and a reactive approach and making sure we're touching it every single day is huge.   Tiffanie (10:25) Yeah.   Yeah, and to your point, that's a like a reactivation campaign. This is not just it's also including, but it's not just patients who were due last month that didn't come in. Those are very top of mind. We're hitting those. 90% of our our our practices are hitting those recare due. Recare coming up, recare six months past due, one year past due. This is patients who haven't been seen in 18, 24, 36 months because   To your point, there's a practice practice within a practice. I have practices, I know we both do. The physical practice has been around for 30 plus years. You may have been the newest dentist, the newest owner. So maybe you've only been there for two, three, five years, and you're thinking active patient count, but you've got 30 years of this physical space being there of patients who per perhaps haven't seen a dentist or been touched by your recare efforts.   DAT- Kristy (11:21) Yeah, absolutely. And I love those ones because you already have a relationship with them. So   Tiffanie (11:25) Yeah.   DAT- Kristy (11:26) you even if you've physically inactivated them, you can run an inactivated campaign and and systematically touch these people to remind them, Hey, I'm still here. We'd love to see ya, you know.   Tiffanie (11:39) Yeah.   Yeah. I have a lot of clients that do that reactivation campaign and they're like, okay, but what if they've moved? What if they decided not to come? He's like, great, then you get to clean up your system as well and remind those patients, no matter where they live, they need to see a dentist. So if our goal is to ensure that our patients are healthy, you're still handling that because you're still reminding them to find a dentist and   To me, those are new patients, right? And you said earlier, like a lot of a lot of practices will put all their eggs in a basket of a new patient. And I think that comes from the early 2000s of everything was new patients. There were so many consulting companies and I just everything we heard in dentistry was new patients. You heard nothing else, new patients in production. And that's evolved a ton because I think people got tired of being new patient mills, right? Where it was like,   We see so many patients, but we're not worried about what's happening to them after they leave that first appointment. And that has dramatically shifted. And that's where this comes into play. So even if you haven't physically, maybe you've been there for a year or three years, you haven't met that patient yet, that's okay. That patient   DAT- Kristy (12:49) Sure.   Tiffanie (12:50) has a relationship with the practice, with the building, it's memory, it's driving up to the place that you've gone.   three, four, five times for your dental care. That's my dentist, right? That's my dental practice. So then you have that opportunity now to build the relationship one-on-one with that person as they enter.   DAT- Kristy (13:10) Yeah, agree with you, Tiff. it it's look at the number because I bet you would be surprised at how many patients you have sitting out there. And if truly you are at a capacity, you guys can go through those and look at them strategically. If they have outstanding treatment, those patients potentially could be could be coming back in not just hygiene, but in the doctor's chair too. So   Tiffanie (13:32) Yes. Yes.   DAT- Kristy (13:34) yeah, there's a gold mine sitting out there most of the time, and it just takes tapping   Tiffanie (13:36) Yeah. Yeah.   DAT- Kristy (13:38) into it.   Tiffanie (13:39) I have a practice that had nineteen thousand patients had touched this physical building at one point or another. Nineteen thousand people in this small town. And I was like, Yeah, stop paying for new patients. Just just physically hit those patients with emails. You just automated emails that go out once a month and you're gonna get you're gonna get patients back because I've seen it and you're gonna get patients that call and say, Hey, actually I moved out of town. Great.   clean up our system. So I love those.   DAT- Kristy (14:06) Yeah.   You know, Tiff, even to that point, how many offices look at how many new patients they get, but take it one step further and see, okay, we had thirty new patients this month, but only twenty rescheduled for another appointment. So making   Tiffanie (14:21) Right. Mm-hmm.   DAT- Kristy (14:22) sure when we have them or having those conversations to keep them and capture them as they're coming in as well.   Tiffanie (14:29) Yeah, I have I had that conversation last week with a client and they asked the great question of okay, is that that they scheduled for their treatment or they scheduled their six month recare? And I said, Great question because I love definitions and both   DAT- Kristy (14:41) Yeah.   Tiffanie (14:43) because so many patients, Kristy, so many people are like, yeah, sure, we'll schedule. And then they cancel in two weeks   DAT- Kristy (14:49) Mm-hmm.   Tiffanie (14:50) or six months right before their visit, right? And you never see them again. So if they had treatment diagnosed and didn't schedule that, but they scheduled their six month visit.   That's a little fishy to me. So I said both. And that   DAT- Kristy (15:01) Yeah.   Tiffanie (15:02) leads into that case acceptance space too. We're only watching we're only watching case acceptance of an overall and we're not differentiating to are the new patients accepting versus just maybe recare's accepting that we've already had this relationship because then you're seeing what's that relationship we're building with the new patients? Are they sticking or are they canceling?   DAT- Kristy (15:23) Yeah, 100%, Tiff. I think there's a couple other areas too that come to mind for me when it comes to the growth. And it goes back to what you were saying in the case acceptance realm. Like what I found lately is people really have to have some strategic resources for patients to accept treatment, you know?   Tiffanie (15:43) Mm.   DAT- Kristy (15:44) So from the realm of finances, making sure we have ways that patients can say yes.   Tiffanie (15:50) Yeah.   DAT- Kristy (15:50) You know,   and really measuring when they don't, what what stood   Tiffanie (15:54) Yeah.   DAT- Kristy (15:55) in the way.   Tiffanie (15:56) Yeah, I love that. And that seems to be I think in for my client base, what I've seen is scheduling hurdles and finances, making sure   DAT- Kristy (16:05) Yep.   Tiffanie (16:06) that there's an easy way to say yes to the price. and making sure that blocked scheduling or whatever it is that you choose to use for your scheduling that it that it works. I've got a lot of patient or a lot of clients that   their patient appointments, like they're just throwing things on the schedule to try to fill it. Like especially the ones that are struggling to fill a schedule, they're just grabbing whatever they can. And   DAT- Kristy (16:31) Mm-hmm.   Tiffanie (16:33) without utilizing a blocked scheduling method and filling it in that way, we do a really big disservice because I think Kristy, what I've seen at least, is sometimes those patients that are in, those appointments that are in that should be an hour, are now taking an hour and a half, two hours because there's other stuff mixed in.   And so then we are making our days longer and like, okay, if we're scheduling that, now I need two hours in the future. You probably didn't. You probably just didn't schedule correctly around it. And so you're actually losing a ton of time throughout your day to be more productive. And to your point, Kristy, that's the growth. If we can condense our schedule and do things more effectively and more efficiently, we can add more production onto the schedule.   DAT- Kristy (17:20) Agree with you. again, too, in this day and age, a lot of people don't like taking a lot of time off work. So consider   Tiffanie (17:27) Yeah.   DAT- Kristy (17:27) doing more on your patient while they're there. Give them give them the choice, you know, let them decide. Are you the type of patient that likes to do what more in one treatment, you know, or do you   Tiffanie (17:39) Yeah.   DAT- Kristy (17:39) want to come more frequently?   Tiffanie (17:41) Yeah, and that goes into your being able to say yes to the treatment. I think that's a that's a space as well because if you come at me with like two, three, four appointments, I might be like overwhelmed by the idea and not want to start anything because I can't finish it. And if   DAT- Kristy (17:57) Yeah.   Tiffanie (17:58) my schedule is too difficult to envision being able to finish all of these appointments in a timely manner, I might just back away and say, you know what, I'm not ready to start anything because I can't figure out how to do it all.   DAT- Kristy (18:09) Yep, agree with you, Tiff. And lastly, I think I hear a lot of doctors say, All my patients are so healthy. All my patients   Tiffanie (18:16) Yes.   DAT- Kristy (18:17) are so healthy. And I I truly think that that's a huge missed opportunity too. It's a great time to take a step back and just say, Hey, what are your long-term goals for your teeth? And maybe now that you've repaired damage in my mouth or gotten rid of infection, this is a perfect time to talk about the cosmetic things that a lot of doctors   Tiffanie (18:37) Wonderful thing.   DAT- Kristy (18:37) love doing, right?   Tiffanie (18:39) Yep, I had that conversation with two or three doctors just last week that I do we hear that constantly, right? Well, I need new patients because my patients are healthy. That's fantastic because what if you could do really fun work on healthy patients? There's ortho, right? And ortho, I love when when practitioners look at ortho as a way to prevent future issues, right? So if you're misaligned, especially the lower anterior.   Always right. There's always something there. So it's perio, it's chip teeth in the future, it's losing teeth. Like, how can we help how can ortho become a preventative measurement? And then to your point, cosmetics, whitening. My fiance just asked me the other night. Like he hasn't talked to his dentist at all about it, but he's got two, he's got an implant with a crown and he's got a crown.   And they're discoloring. They're they're years old. They're probably like six years old at this point, right? And so they're discoloring. And he's like, What do I even do? Right? Thank goodness. I'm here and I I'm like, well, let me give you your options. You can do four,   DAT- Kristy (19:46) Yeah.   Tiffanie (19:46) six, eight. Let me tell you what I would do. Let me tell you who I would like all of these things. But he isn't talking to them about it. He's talking to me about it. So how many patients do we have that don't even have someone to talk to about it? They're just sitting there wondering.   Could this be better and afraid to say something because it's an embarrassing or confusing or an unknown? Like so many things hold us back.   DAT- Kristy (20:13) Yeah, it's crazy. A lot of my clients have heard this story, but the same thing happened with my mother-in-law. Like literally   Tiffanie (20:19) Yeah.   DAT- Kristy (20:20) when I was in practice, you know, family would come, but she went somewhere with her friends and she saw somebody with a beautiful smile. And next thing you know, she's going to their dentist. Yeah, she came back.   Tiffanie (20:30) Yeah.   DAT- Kristy (20:32) But my doctors were like, What the heck? And I'm like, But you never asked or showed the possibilities, you know. So don't   Tiffanie (20:36) Yeah. Yeah.   DAT- Kristy (20:39) forget about your healthy patients. Like, take that step back. And this is a   perfect time to discover is there anything you don't like about your smile, you know.   Tiffanie (20:47) Yeah. I   love that you gave that a story because my fiance literally asked me, Who would I need to go to? Is that something that insert his dentist name can do? And I was like, Wow, this is wild. This is wild. And   DAT- Kristy (21:03) Yeah.   Tiffanie (21:04) so I've had so many people, I'm in Phoenix, right? We're both in Phoenix, right? So Scottsdale   DAT- Kristy (21:08) Yeah.   Tiffanie (21:09) is right around the corner, right? Just   DAT- Kristy (21:11) Mm-hmm.   Tiffanie (21:11) a little a little twenty-five to forty-five minute drive, depending on where you are in the valley.   Everyone thinks you have to go to Scottsdale for cosmetic treatment, right? I   DAT- Kristy (21:21) Yeah.   Tiffanie (21:22) can't get whitening, I can't get veneers. If I'm going to get veneers, right? We have people and legitimately there are a lot of dentists there, a lot of dentists everywhere who do great work. Scottsdale and LA. People fly in from other states to get dentistry done in Scottsdale and LA because they think that's where they have to go.   His people don't know. He's worked with he's been a patient at this practice since he had the emergency situation with his front teeth.   DAT- Kristy (21:51) Well.   Tiffanie (21:52) And he's like, should I go to him? And I'm like, I can't speak to his work, but I can say he he does them. You know,   DAT- Kristy (21:58) Yeah.   Tiffanie (21:59) so it's like you just don't know what you don't know. And so if we're not having those conversations, I think that's a massive space of growth. And if you're not someone who loves to do that, fine.   What do you love to do? You know, how many missing teeth are there? Do you like bridges? Do you like implants? Do you like how many missing teeth are within your recare? How many missing teeth are coming down the pipeline of patients that are in your database?   DAT- Kristy (22:25) One hundred percent. And or even maybe you've added new services to your service mix that even your existing patients don't know you're doing.   Tiffanie (22:33) Yeah, yeah. I agree. And it doesn't have to be Botox, fillers, threads. Like you don't have to be   DAT- Kristy (22:37) Right. Yeah.   Tiffanie (22:40) like, okay, well, I've tapped out my crowns and my fillings. Like I've gotta offer these other things. If you want to offer it, great, do it. But if it's not like a desire that you have to be this aesthetic dentist in that capacity, don't do it. You don't have to do all on force. Find something that you love.   that you can add to your service mix or something that's within your service mix to Kristy's point that your patients just don't even know that's there.   DAT- Kristy (23:09) Yeah. And lastly to wrap it, Tiff, I think so many people don't realize tapping into their own patients to earn that growth, like through social media and that sort of reviews, referrals, you know what I mean? Like give your patients a reason to refer and and even talk about you. Like bring that presence around so your existing patients can share why they love you and others will follow them.   Tiffanie (23:38) Yeah. Yeah. Don't be the dentist that your patients are like, I don't know if they're accepting new patients or not. Let me call and find out. Like, no, just let them call and find out. So I agree.   DAT- Kristy (23:46) Yeah.   Tiffanie (23:47) I agree. I think fee schedule increases. So if you haven't done them recently within the last year, do it. I do love the idea of moving that to the summer or whatever your slow period is. If you're a pediatric dentist, don't do it in the summer. and then looking at service mixes, so what can you do more of?   And looking at your schedule and making sure that you're utilizing as much time as you possibly can and that this that the schedule makes sense. I love that.   DAT- Kristy (24:14) Agree with you   and don't forget that reactivation.   Tiffanie (24:17) Activation, that was the other one. Yeah. Don't   forget those 19,000 patients that are sitting in your database somewhere. So, yes, I love   DAT- Kristy (24:21) Yeah.   Tiffanie (24:23) that. Kristy, these were phenomenal ideas. Thank you so much. thank you for   DAT- Kristy (24:27) Absolutely.   Tiffanie (24:28) making it easy. Thank you for helping so many clients.

Apparently everyone needed to wallow in the darkness of the William Lewis Saga again, this time starting at the beginning...The Randomizer decided that everyone needed to wallow in the darkness of the William Lewis Saga again, this time starting at the beginning with “Her Negotiation,” the season finale of Season 14 complete with cliffhanger leaving our hero Olivia Benson in a very dark place. This obviously means the Munchie Boys have to deal with fur-humping, Plein Air Painters, the life's work of Frederick Law Olmstead, and the shooting star that was Matt Harvey's early baseball career.

Llevo 15 años escribiendo notas, artículos y tutoriales. El resultado: unos 5000 archivos markdown repartidos por mi disco duro. Y, como te puedes imaginar, encontrar algo ahí dentro es como buscar una aguja en un pajar. Por eso en este episodio me he puesto manos a la obra para montar un sistema RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) 100% local, sin depender de APIs externas, sin enviar tus datos a la nube, y con herramientas que ya conoces: SQLite, Ollama y Python.Este es el primero de dos episodios sobre RAG. Aquí nos centramos en construir la base de conocimiento: un pipeline que escanea tus documentos, los trocea en fragmentos manejables, extrae los metadatos del frontmatter YAML, genera embeddings con el modelo bge-m3 de Ollama, y lo guarda todo en una base de datos SQLite con búsqueda FTS5. Todo esto, además, con detección incremental de cambios: la primera ejecución tarda lo que tenga que tardar, pero las siguientes son cuestión de segundos porque solo reprocesa lo que ha cambiado.El stack es sencillo pero potente. SQLite con FTS5 para búsqueda textual, Ollama con bge-m3 para los embeddings, y seis scripts Python que suman unas 1300 líneas. Nada de LangChain, nada de frameworks pesados. Código limpio, comentado y que entiendes de un vistazo. El chunking respeta las cabeceras markdown, usa tiktoken para contar tokens con precisión, y los embeddings se almacenan como BLOBs en la propia SQLite. En el próximo episodio (el 821) usaremos esta base de conocimiento para hacer búsqueda semántica con similitud de coseno, búsqueda híbrida combinando FTS5 con embeddings, y hasta un plugin para Neovim.Puntos clave del episodio:- El problema: 15 años de notas, 5000 archivos, cero capacidad de búsqueda- La solución: RAG local con SQLite + FTS5 + Ollama, todo en tu máquina- Chunking híbrido que respeta cabeceras markdown y usa tiktoken- Pipeline incremental con detección de cambios mediante MD5- Embeddings con bge-m3 (568M parámetros, 1024 dimensiones)- Búsqueda FTS5 con snippet(), colores ANSI y sintaxis avanzada- Errores comunes y cómo solucionarlosSi te gusta el contenido, ya sabes: dale a seguir, compártelo con quien creas que le puede interesar, y déjame un comentario si tienes dudas o sugerencias. La semana que viene, en el episodio 821, montamos la búsqueda semántica y el plugin para Neovim.

James W. Burley, APX Data Base/Report System James W. Burley is the programmer of Data Base/Report System, which was sold by Atari Program Exchange beginning with the Summer 1982 APX catalog. It was catalog number 20134 with a price of $22.95. APX sold it for about a year, through the Summer 1983 catalog. APX awarded Data Base/Report System first prize for new software in the "Business & Professional Applications/Personal Finance & Record Keeping" category: for that, James was awarded an Atari Star plaque and $2000 prize. (He received the plaque, but says he never received the money.) The software may have also been sold by Main Street Publishing. Here's what the APX catalog had to say: Data Base/Report System by James W. Burley Recommended for experienced data base users/Written in BASIC and machine language If you've ever used a data base manager on a large computer system, you'll appreciate the many features of DATA BASE/REPORT SYSTEM. This general-purpose system for ATARI 800 Home Computers creates and maintains records having up to ten units of information ("fields"), with a maximum field length of 100 characters and a maximum record length of 255 characters. The total number of records you can store varies with record key size, a key being the unique identifier for each record) and available computer memory. Generally, you can store about 1300 records having a five-character key on a system with 40K of memory. You use the main program to create a new file; add, update, and remove records; sort the file; and print reports. Auxiliary programs reorganize the data files to free unused diskette space; redefine the file by adding fields, modifying field sizes, or changing field headings; delete old files; and print special reports. ... These and other features make DATA BASE/REPORT SYSTEM a really versatile data base management system for your ATARI 800 Home Computer. REVIEW COMMENTS: You need some data base knowledge to use the program; it's a bit complex, but all the features are worthwhile. The print formatting and file reorganization features are very useful. The sort and search routines, written in assembly language, work quickly. In 1983, Antic magazine featured the program as one of the "Ten Best from APX". In 2024, Wade at the Inverse ATASCII podcast did a deep dive into Data Base/Report System: check the show notes for the link to that review, which includes dozens of screenshots, sample print output, and information about the database's file format. Wade gave the software a rating of 5 out of 8. As of this recording, the Atari community doesn't yet have a scan of the APX manual for Data Base/Report System: if you have a copy, let me know, or scan it and upload it to Internet Archive. The Main Street Publishing version — both disk and manual — are also not preserved. This interview took place on May 22, 2026.

In 1958, Air Force Captain Leonard Fiege, Airman Tom Berlett, and civilian Bill Schriever entered a cave at Victoria Peak, discovering massive, pyramid-shaped stacks of gold bars stamped with Spanish double crosses alongside the remains of 29 human skeletons. Choosing to act honorably and follow proper legal procedures rather than stealing the gold, Fiege and Berlett left the cave untouched. They subsequently hired senior Judge Advocate General (JAG) Corps colonels to form "The Seven Heirs" corporation to legally assert their rights as the discoverers of the treasure.Seeking official permission to complete their recovery, the airmen presented their findings in Washington, D.C., leading the U.S. Secret Service to administer federal polygraph examinations to both Fiege and Berlett on September 5, 1961. Both officers passed without any indication of deception, providing official, government-verified proof that the massive gold cache inside Victoria Peak was real. However, instead of granting legal access, Secret Service Agent Lilburn "Pat" Boggs issued a chilling warning directly to Captain Fiji: "The government will never let you get to the gold".Behind the scenes, federal authorities were already executing a covert extraction. Transcribed phone calls from July 31, 1961, between White Sands Commander Major General John Shinkle, Leland Howard of the U.S. Mint, and Agent Boggs reveal a top-secret military operation set for August 1, 1961, to excavate and seize the gold while strictly barring Fiji and Berlett from the base. Shortly after, a special Pentagon team led by Captain William Orby Swanner inspected, photographed, and inventoried the gold, allegedly shipping portions to Fort Knox without any official public accounting or receiving records.The aftermath exposed a ruthless cover-up designed to erase the discovery and silence all witnesses. Base photographer Charles Abston later recalled seeing General Shinkle personally using a forklift to load heavy, sealed containers into a moving van prior to transferring commands, while Captain Fiji and his family endured decades of relentless death threats whenever he attempted to go public. Episode 12 lays bare how federal agencies used lie detector technology to confirm the reality of the Victoria Peak treasure—only to secretly steal it and threaten the service members who found it.

Marcus undertakes an emergency mercy flight to Washington DC to comfort and counsel Department of War deputy Elbridge Colby, stunned by the stab in the back from America's Aussie ally on American access to a sub base in Western Australia. After telling Americans and the world that US subs use of the base had always been time limited and would end in 2032, Mr Conroy undertook an intense self-criticism session. Demonstrating his flexibility, he then directly contradicted himself on instruction from his Party senior, Deputy Prime Minister Marles. But the damage was done. It turns out America is just the most recent nation to experience the dangers of trusting Australian officials on anything to do with submarines.Beyond the support session for Mr Colby, the Grumpies find time to assess the Australian Defence organisation's latest achievements in transparency, contrasting these with the fresh approach of the local Canberra Integrity Commission that names everyone involved in a corrupt multi-million dollar construction program - because that is in the public interest. Meanwhile, the Federal government is fighting to not release unclassified information about nuclear waste plans, and Defence is suppressing the name of a senior officer facing allegations of financial and other misconduct.The episode ends with an assessment of prime minister Albanese's attempt at national leadership on AI, which is mystifying in its failure to engage with almost all the key issues.

BitMEX shut down without an angry tweet. Offchain Labs CEO Steven Goldfeder joins Kain and Taylor on why dead tokens never get that mercy.

When a token project dies, the same audience spends weeks dragging it. Steven Goldfeder, co-founder and CEO of Offchain Labs, the team behind Arbitrum, joins Kain Warwick and Taylor Monahan to work through why. Goldfeder argues crypto's grant-funded, revenue-optional era is over, and explains why Arbitrum licensed its stack so that partners like Robinhood Chain have to keep paying for it, while Base pays Optimism. They trace the DPRK crewhacking crews now rotating through bridge exploits, debate whether Uniswap's new permissioned pools point toward tokens that carry real investor rights, and ask Goldfeder whether he would trade Arbitrum's open token for a restricted one only a fraction of the world could hold. The conversation closes on Kyle Samani telling Solana builders that Multicoin, the firm he co-founded, is working against them, and what that says about how much of an ecosystem can rest on a single fund.

Players on Server 11 discovered a development account with its shield down and approximately one trillion Sigma Tritanium sitting inside. They cracked the base, raided it for days, and walked away with what may have been nearly $18 million worth of resources based on pack values. In this episode of Talking Trek Live, DJz breaks down exactly how the raid happened, why the players could never spend the entire haul, and how Scopely plans to repair the economy without punishing the commanders who found the target. Scopely will reclaim much of the unspent resource surplus, but the raiders will keep anything they already used, a meaningful amount of Sigma resources, their historic raiding totals, and an exclusive Legendary Looter title created specifically to commemorate the incident. The show also examines new restrictions being placed on development accounts to prevent another trillion-resource piñata from appearing on a live server. Later, the crew looks ahead to M94, discusses the expanded G4 Ascension Tree and its role in guiding developing accounts, and reviews potential Alliance Tournament rewards. Professor Puttz and Tarpitude analyze the return of Battle Pass choice tokens, including the differences between the free and Elite tracks and the effect of the daily login calendar. Finally, Mad Scientist Jules Verne presents the full Ra'ul Reaver breakdown. The discussion covers refinery conversion efficiency, estimated progression time, cargo capacity, raiding percentages, realistic hourly yields, and whether commanders should use the Amalgam to clear traditional resources before switching to the Reaver for Sigma resources.   01:31 - Welcome to Talking Trek 06:20 - The Secret Server 11 Raid Leaks 07:39 - A Dev Base With One Trillion Sigma Tritanium 09:15 - The Raiders Did It Without the Reaver 11:18 - Calculating the Resource Pack Value 15:46 - How Much Was Injected Into the Economy? 17:02 - A Nearly $18 Million Mistake 18:27 - Could the Raiders Spend the Resources? 23:56 - Scopely's Official Response 24:36 - Resources Will Be Reclaimed 24:56 - The Exclusive Legendary Looter Title 28:16 - What the Raiders Will Get to Keep 34:40 - Cameron Stewart Learns About the Incident 35:37 - New Rules for Development Accounts 49:34 - Why Scopely's Response Worked 58:29 - Is M94 the Real Anthology Arc? 1:00:29 - The New G4 Ascension Tree 1:05:10 - Cameron's Experience With Early Progression 1:18:45 - Alliance Tournament Rewards and Ship Skins 1:39:20 - M93 Battle Pass Choice Token Math 1:45:11 - Free Track Versus Elite Track Value 1:48:15 - Adding the Daily Login Calendar 2:00:07 - Ra'ul Reaver Refinery Breakdown 2:02:13 - How Long Will the Reaver Take to Max? 2:03:39 - The Reaver's Improved Raiding Ability 2:09:19 - How Much Can the Reaver Steal? 2:14:20 - Amalgam Versus Reaver Raiding Strategy 2:15:57 - The Reaver's Best Use Cases

White voters without a college education have been a core component of Donald Trump's base and key to putting him in the White House. But a new poll from CNN shows that group now disapproves of Trump more than approves by 8 percentage points. One insight in the poll is that Americans by a wide margin thing Trump is focused on the wrong priorities. Jen Psaki takes a closer look. Jen Psaki reports on the postponement of a Senate committee vote on the nomination of Donald Trump's former criminal defense lawyer, Todd Blanche, to be attorney general. A vote was contingent on Blanche agreeing in writing to drop his pursuit of a settlement with the IRS to fund payouts to January 6 rioters. Trump was apparently not willing to allow Blanche to make that agreement. Senator Adam Schiff joins to discuss. Jen Psaki talks with Josh Turek, Democratic candidate for Senate from Iowa, in his first interview since being endorsed by former President Barack Obama. And Maine's Democratic nominee for Senate, Troy Jackson, also joins Jen in the studio. To listen to this show and other MS podcasts without ads, sign up for MS NOW Premium on Apple Podcasts.

Brian Armstrong changed his profile picture to a memecoin. It pumped to thirty million. Ten thousand wallets piled in. Less than twenty-four hours later, he changed it back — and every one of those wallets felt it.That one move cracked open the week's biggest debate: what should Coinbase and Base actually be for? And what does it mean that Robinhood's new L2 — launched three weeks ago, supposedly for tokenized stocks — already has five hundred million in memecoin volume versus thirteen million in RWAs?This week on The Defiant, Camila Russo sits down with three guests who can't agree on anything — and that's exactly why this conversation works.Austin Campbell (Zero Knowledge / NYU Stern) says Base's behavior was both an intellectual and moral failing — memecoins are gambling, and Coinbase can't build payment infrastructure while promoting gambling to young people at the same time. Jason Yanowitz (Blockworks) says the strategy is closer to right than people admit, and the real problem is execution, not direction. Michael Lee (LienFi), a Base builder since day one, says Armstrong's PFP move caused real damage — but mercenary traders have also paid twenty million dollars to creators on Base, and nobody else is stepping in to do that.School bus. Rocket ship. Same company. That's the problem.Guests: Austin Campbell (Zero Knowledge / NYU Stern) | Jason Yanowitz (Blockworks) | Michael Lee (LienFi) Topics: Memecoins, Coinbase, Base, Robinhood L2, content coins, Brian Armstrong, crypto regulation, everything exchange

YC's Nemil Dalal joins to explain why he's never been more bullish as BitMEX winds down after 11 years, whether every failed crypto idea (TCRs, DAOs, creator coins) eventually works, why crypto is really about money, Base's consumer mea culpa, on-chain reputation and credit, and who pays in the x402 AI-agent era. Welcome to The Chopping Block – where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. This week they're joined by Nemil Dalal, Visiting Partner at Y Combinator and ex-Coinbase, where he led USDC and the Coinbase Developer Platform. He's here to explain why, with exchanges winding down left and right, he's somehow never been more bullish. The crew digs into the great contrast of the moment: BitMEX shutting down after 11 years (plus BitMart, Movement Labs, Balancer Labs) while the plumbing quietly prints, and whether Imran's viral 'everything that failed will eventually work' thesis is genius or toxic positivity. From there it's the question of whether crypto is really only about money (Jesse's Base mea culpa included), a war-memories tour through TCRs, on-chain reputation and why pure on-chain credit keeps faceplanting, and finally who actually pays in the x402 AI-agent era, and whether decentralization even survives contact with Google-shaped gravity.

In this episode, we cover CJ Hetherington's path from a self-taught teenager trading crypto in the UK's Lake District to Co-Founder and CEO of Limitless, one of the fastest-growing prediction market platforms built on Base. CJ walks through his early builds - a gamified NFT protocol, the Atlantis World metaverse — and how a chance conversation led him and his Ukrainian co-founder to raise crypto donations for humanitarian aid within hours of the full-scale invasion, eventually hosting a hackathon inside a bomb shelter with Vitalik Buterin. From there, he traces Limitless's founding in late 2023, why staying outside the Polymarket/Kalshi duopoly has been an advantage, the CFTC review process for US market entry, and why he sees institutional hedging — not sports betting — as the real endgame for prediction markets. We close on what Limitless saw in the data during the World Cup and CJ's read on where the broader crypto market is headed next.Sponsored by FirstRead — the AI-powered contract review tool built for lawyers who don't have time to read every clause twice.

Non hanno lo stesso nome, non rivendicano le stesse battaglie e non condividono un manifesto comune. Eppure, i giovani della Generazione Z dell'Asia sembrano mossi dallo stesso desiderio: smettere di essere considerati soltanto motore della crescita economica e partecipare alla vita politica e democratica. In Italia una famiglia su tre quest'anno non potrà permettersi di andare in vacanza. E l'aspetto più complesso da raccontare è che il fenomeno è in evidente peggioramento. E il peso maggiore ricade sui nuclei numerosi, quelli che devono fare i conti con spese quotidiane sempre più alte. E se uno dei segreti della longevità italiana non fosse soltanto la dieta mediterranea o il clima, ma anche la bellezza che ci circonda? Un ampio studio dell'University College di Londra certifica che frequentare musei, mostre o attività culturali può rallentare l'invecchiamento biologico quasi quanto fare attività fisica con regolarità.

In a lengthy post, the Base creator admitted the Base App's social bet had not worked, leaving Base behind in perps, prediction markets and tokenization, and handed the app's reins to Jordan Fish, better known as Cobie. Pollak joins Laura Shin to unpack why the pivot happened now, what he makes of Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong's memecoin controversy over a token called $BRIAN, and how Base plans to compete as Robinhood Chain outpaces it on daily active users, according to Artemis data. They cover Base's move off Optimism's stack onto its own Azul, Beryl and Cobalt upgrades, a roadmap toward 20,000 transactions per second under the new B20 stablecoin standard, and the x402 agentic payments protocol already handling roughly 90% of Base's transaction volume. Pollak argues less than 1% of the world uses crypto, and that Base's bet is on whoever builds the trusted rails first.

Bitcoin analyst Matthew Mezinskis joins the show to defend the power law model against recent criticism, arguing the curve remains intact and Bitcoin is trading near historical lows relative to its trend. He breaks down why exponential models fail to capture Bitcoin's network growth, compares the power curve to stock-to-flow and Plan B projections, and examines global monetary base expansion, Fed balance sheet trends, and the intersection of Bitcoin's scalable growth with TradFi's volatile exponential debt. The discussion covers log periodic cycle analysis, generational buying levels, and what happens when Bitcoin's power trend collides with fiat's unsustainable compounding.

¿Qué significaba ser un noble en el Egipto del Imperio Nuevo? Más allá de los mitos, existía una clase privilegiada que articulaba el funcionamiento de un imperio vasto y complejo. En este programa, junto a Yolanda Barreno y Francisco Muriana, diseccionamos la vida cotidiana de los altos dignatarios, sus responsabilidades políticas y su relación con el poder divino. Exploramos cómo la arquitectura funeraria y los ajuares encontrados en las necrópolis nos revelan no solo el lujo de las élites, sino también las tensiones sociales y los intentos de las clases menos favorecidas por emular los ritos de los poderosos. Un episodio dedicado a desentrañar la estructura social y la cosmovisión de una civilización que entendía la muerte como una continuación de la vida.

An OpenAI model hacked Hugging Face to cheat its own test. Kain and Taylor break it down — plus Base's failed social bet and the North Korean IT workers still inside crypto. ======================================================== Thank you to our sponsors! ⁠⁠⁠⁠Cape⁠⁠⁠: Your biggest crypto vulnerability isn't your wallet, it's your phone number. Cape is America's privacy-first mobile carrier that rotates your SIM identity daily and blocks SIM swaps before they happen. Get 33% off your first six months at ⁠https://cape.co/unchained⁠ (use code: UNCHAINED). ======================================================== Coinbase just handed Jesse Pollak's Base app to Cobie, days after Pollak posted a public mea culpa admitting that the onchain-social and creator-coin bet behind Base never worked. Kain Warwick and Taylor Monahan trace why Base swung so hard at social instead of perps and prediction markets, and argue Coinbase's bottomless-money culture, the same one that let Google build Android on a whim, makes it nearly impossible for founders to know when a bet has genuinely failed. They also unpack Brian Armstrong's memecoin profile-picture flap, arguing the outrage is almost entirely manufactured by traders chasing volatility, the North Korean IT workers still quietly inside much of the crypto industry, and the strangest story of the week: an unreleased OpenAI model that chained two zero-day exploits to escape its test sandbox and hack Hugging Face's benchmarking servers for the answers. The episode closes on an uncomfortable question: if a model will cheat on a security test just to avoid not knowing its score, what else will it break to get there?

On this week's Talkhouse Podcast we've got a couple of dynamic frontmen who've brought a ton of personality to rock and roll over the years: It's Pelle Almqvist and James Smith.  Pelle Almqvist, aka Howlin' Pelle Almqvist, is the singer for the Swedish band the Hives, who make garage rock, punk rock, or simply rock and roll, depending on who you're talking to—that question comes up in this conversation. The Hives broke through back in the early 2000s with the monumental album Veni Vidi Vicious and the song “Hate to Say I Told You So,” and they've since amassed an incredible catalog alongside an earned reputation as one of the most exciting live bands you're ever going to see. The Hives went quiet for a while but came roaring back in 2023, and last year they released their seventh record called The Hives Forever Forever The Hives, a brilliant title if I've ever seen one. Check out the title track from that album right here. The other half of today's conversation, James Smith, is the singer/talker/kinda rapper at the helm of the British band Yard Act, whose first album—2022's The Overload—immediately announced them as a serious musical force. Smith's voice is the slick, confident center of their songs, and his unique way of sing-speaking feels like a gamble that paid off ridiculously well. The band has since released two more records, including the excellent new You're Gonna Need A Little Music, which deals at times with the idea of getting everything you want but not knowing what to do with it. It was produced by Justin Meldal-Johnson—he's the Justin mentioned in this chat—who seemed to help tame the beast in all the right ways. Check out “Empty Pledges” right here. This lively chat took place via Zoom, and I have to note right off the bat that Almqvist was dialing in from his sauna while wearing a Hives-branded robe—totally on brand in the best way. They talk about religion, typical days on tour, and quite a bit about how they've both gotten into painting—and how they're trying not to make it into work. Enjoy. 0:00 Intro 02:42 Start of conversation 02:43 On sharing an interest in painting and art 04:37 On recording new records in home studios, and how touring impacts recording 08:07 On if the “lightning in a bottle” approach to making music is real, trying new sounds, and why Ace of Base is similar to Bob Marley 10:41 On the music scenes in Sweden and Leeds 13:20 On folding bikes and land skis  15:08 On architecture, history, and visiting cathedrals and other landmarks on tour 16:09 On organized religion, capitalism, and if spirituality encourages unity 18:26 On growing up near Russia during the Cold War, nuclear war fears, punk music, and class awareness 20:21 On modern interpretations of punk music 23:04 On traveling on tour, seeing more cathedrals, why AI is like an Easter Island statue, and staying optimistic about the future 26:29 On upcoming tour dates, and future plans and priorities 29:35 On James' experiences showing his paintings, the pros and cons of selling passion projects, and learning new art skills 32:43 On Pelle's painting projects, and how painting is like songwriting 35:12 On being creative vs. slowing down during time off 36:53 On if slowing down musically is the same as getting complacent 38:19 On Pelle's sauna and swimming in the Baltic Sea 39:20 On input vs. output for creativity and culture Thanks for listening to the Talkhouse Podcast, and thanks to Pelle Almqvist and James Smith for chatting.

 Pentagon Out Of Money, Houthis Block Red Sea, Laura Ingraham Tells Trump “End War Now” As Polls Show Trump's Base Hates The War! Plus, Iranian Military BEGS For US Ground Invasion!

//The Wire//2300Z July 21, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: HOUTHIS ANNOUNCE EMBARGO OF SAUDI OIL TANKERS. LARGE SCALE BOMBINGS OF IRAN CONTINUE. ANDY BURNHAM ASSUMES OFFICE AS BRITISH PRIME MINISTER. STABBING REPORTED AT CHURCH IN IRELAND.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Middle East : The war continues as before with a new series of attacks taking place overnight, with CENTCOM conducting their 7th wave of airstrikes within Iran since the break of the ceasefire. In Jordan, the Tower 22 Base was struck again, with Iranian ballistic missiles targeting an aircraft hangar as well as a warehouse.Bahrain: Significant Iranian targeting continued with the Iranians striking the electrical substation powering an Amazon data center. The data center itself was not hit, but the center remains offline due to the power source being cut.Black Sea: The targeting of oil tankers by both Ukraine and Russia has continued, with concerns growing regarding the wider threats to petroleum infrastructure. Yesterday, Kazakhstan halted all shipments of oil through their pipelines that eventually arrive at the Russian oil terminals on the Black Sea, due to the threats presented by Ukrainian drones.Ireland: This morning a stabbing attack was reported at Holy Cross Church in Tramore, Wateford. One woman was stabbed at the altar shortly before Mass began, with the assailant fleeing the scene before being detained a short distance from the church. The victim remains hospitalized with serious wounds following the attack.United Kingdom: Yesterday Andy Burnham formally transitioned into the role of Prime Minister. This afternoon, he authorized the use of British bases by the United States to conduct strikes in Iran, marking a more public foreign policy departure from Starmer's government.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: In the Red Sea, things are not going so well. Last night, the Houthis claimed to have partially closed the Bab el Mandeb Strait, threatening another major global maritime chokepoint. This announcement has been implemented as a blockade of Saudi ports, with the Houthi's claiming that all ships bound for Saudi Arabia will be attacked. The status of other ships just passing through the area remains unclear.As a reminder, the US already fought the Houthis, specifically over their closure of the Bab el Mandeb Strait last year. That conflict resulted in a de facto Houthi victory after the US ceased the bombing campaign without securing the defeat of the Houthis, and many shipping companies have, to this day, continued to avoid the Red Sea route altogether. So far, the Houthi's have not struck any vessels however reports suggest they may have turned a couple of tankers around without missiles being fired.The Houthis are perhaps an even more substantial threat to the region than most realize, simply due to the weapons available to them. Unlike Iran, which has the capability of hitting individual ships in the comparatively cramped Strait of Hormuz, the Houthis have historically had to rely on the sledgehammer approach. It is true that the Houthis will strike vessels in their backyard with relative ease, but their main target is the Saudi port of Yanbu, far to the north on the east coast of the Red Sea. From that distance, the Houthis can't hit individual ships...they will be hitting the oil terminal itself. That's comparatively worse than striking just one ship; the Houthi targeting efforts are a much more blunt instrument than observed with Iran, and as a result they are more likely to cause damage that lasts a long time. This was already demonstrated by their previous targeting efforts during the short-lived war last year. The Houthis can also hurt the United States more directly too...Camp Lemonnier in Djbouti is just 70 miles away from Yemen, on the other side of the Strait. This has historically been a non-combat post, but this can change in an instant, if the belligerents choose to escalate this war to include two continents.Analyst: S2A1 Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground NomadNet: 5fa68c88be727a0e1a250a75e5e79269 Disclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report. //END REPORT//

Alan Mikhail relates how, following Grietje's death, Anthony remarried a burgher woman, reflecting his elevated social status despite earlier prejudices. Mikhail frames Anthony's life as a vital starting point for discussing Islam in North America, noting the parallels between historical biases and the challenges modern Muslim leaders face today.

Henry Sokolski discusses the security implications of a power outage at a US missile base, warning that electrical grids are now primary targets in "gray warfare." He notes that nations like Russia and Iran increasingly view civilian infrastructure as legitimate military targets to spread mayhem and leverage power. (13)
