The Blind Rage podcast: Horror Movie Commentaries

Maria Ford (MIND GAMES) returns to The Blind Rage Podcast in Dan Golden's 1995 erotic thriller STRIPTEASER. It's closing time at Zipper's Clown Palace, a seedy Hollywood strip joint, when a blind man enters. In minutes, he drops the cane, sunglasses, and charade, now brandishing a shotgun, which he uses to hold the remaining employees, as well as its last patrons, hostage. What appears to be a random act of violence slowly becomes more sinister as we discover our gunman has something of an infatuation with Christina (Ford), one of Zipper's most popular performers. Chock full of violence, nudity, lap dances, and sleaze, STRIPTEASER remains one of my favorite Roger Corman straight-to-video quickies. Pull up a chair (not that one; there appears to be a sticky residue along the seat) and join Tony and I for this lost gem. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/blindragepod/message

Ellen and Dan talk with Meg Heckman, a colleague of ours at Northeastern University's school of journalism. Meg is an associate professor and author. She had a long career as a journalist. She spent more than a decade as a reporter and, later, the digital editor at the Concord (NH) Monitor, where she developed a fascination with presidential politics, a passion for local news and an appreciation for cars with four-wheel drive. Her book, “Political Godmother: Nackey Scripps Loeb and the Newspaper That Shook the Republican Party,” documents the lasting impact of New Hampshire publisher and conservative activist Nackey Loeb.  In Quick Takes, Ellen calls attention to a piece in ProPublica by journalist Dan Golden about his history working for the local daily in Springfield, Massachusetts. Turns out the good-old-days in newspapering weren't all good. Golden cautions against recreating them. Dan takes a look back at an example of how diligent local news reporting can have an enormous impact nearly 45 years after the fact. Recently the EPA proposed a ban on trichloroethylene, an industrial solvent that's been linked to leukemia, birth defects and other health problems. The road to that ban began in Woburn, Massachusetts, in 1979, with a super-smart young reporter Dan had the honor of working with. Dan wrote about it here.

Dogs do not bark just because. Anyone who wants to know how to stop dog barking should understand behind any excessive barking is a real, serious trigger… at least in our dog's eyes. Indeed, barking is a big behavioral issue! But it is often misunderstood. Most dog owners and even dog trainers treat barking at face value, as if there's nothing more to it. This is where most solutions get it wrong — they focus on stopping dog barking without addressing the root cause of the problem. Dog owners get frustrated because even if they do get some success, after a few days of silence, the barking resumes! This is what I aim to change with Rule #4 of the Doggy Dan Five Golden Rules. As a top dog trainer who has seen the most notorious of barkers switch off after just a few tries, I have proven that the best way to solve a barking issue is to be the leader WHO DEALS WITH DANGER. A leader who can tell a dog “You can hand over the protecting to me. I deal with danger. I've got you covered. You can relax.” What does this mean and how can you be this kind of leader? Read on to learn more about Doggy Dan's Golden Rule #4. Key Takeaways: Dogs are naturally protective because for them, all that matters is their survival and the pack's. Rule #4 focuses on helping dog owners communicate to their dogs “I am in charge, I will decide how to react, I deal with danger, you can relax.” Saying “Thank You!” is one of the ways to make dogs understand that YOU are in charge with danger, not them. LEARN HOW TO STOP DOG BARKING WITH THE DOGGY DAN GOLDEN RULE #4! Table of Contents Recap: Rules #1, #2, #3 of the Doggy Dan Five Golden Rules Rule #4 is Dealing with Danger: Dear Dog, I am in Charge of Danger, Not You How Rule #4 of the Doggy Dan Five Golden Rules Help You React Like a Leader In Charge of Danger What Your Dogs Will Learn From the Rule #4 The Five Most Common Mistakes Dog Owners Do to Stop Dog Barking How to Stop Dog Barking: Calmer Dogs Have Owners Who Understand Rule #4 By Heart Dog Calming Code: Helping Dogs Stop Barking and Live the “Switched Off” Life   How to Stop Dog Barking: Rules #1, #2, #3 of the Doggy Dan Five Golden Rules Recap Important Note: Before you implement Doggy Dan Golden Rule #4 — Dealing with Danger — with your dog training, it's imperative that you are already following Rules #1, #2, and #3. Unless these rules are in place, you and your dog won't be able to make Rule #4 work as effectively. To recap, the first three rules focus on winning your dog's mind by showing them you're the pack leader, not them: Rule #1 talks about controlling the food and understanding why being in control of the food communicates that you are in charge. (You can check Rule #1 here.). Rule #2 is about the importance of ignoring your dog after separation and why it's crucial in establishing leadership in the home. (Learn about Rule #2 here.) Rule#3 is about helping your dogs pass on the leadership hat to you through showing them that you and not them call the shots. (Learn about Rule #3 here.) These rules are important prerequisites to make sure Rule #4 really does its magic on your dogs. LEARN MORE ABOUT THE DOGGY DAN FIVE GOLDEN RULES WITH THE DOG CALMING CODE Rule #4 is Dealing with Danger: Dear Dog, I am in Charge of Danger, Not You Dogs are naturally very protective of us. Why? As established in the first three blogs for this series, nothing matters more to our dogs than their survival, and the pack's. (Watch the full video below for Rule #4)   This protectiveness comes from their wolf ancestry as wolves are stalwart in protecting the pack from potential threats. Therefore, anything they think poses any danger to the pack are dealt with VERY SERIOUSLY Strangers walking past the property? Dog will bark. Motorcycle zooms by? Dog barks. Birds swooping through the garden? Dog goes nuts. I often say this: unless trained, dogs are instinctive—they DO what's natural for them. And what's natural is to ensure the pack and the property are safe. WE CAN'T BLAME A DOG FOR BARKING AT RANDOM THREATS ALL THE TIME: THEY NEED TO ALERT US TO DANGER TO KEEP US SAFE. What Dogs Communicate with Every Bark In every “woof, woof” your dog makes to a stranger across the street, or a distant sound is this message: “Hey, this is my property and I am in charge. I will deal with you! You look dangerous, you have to stay away! I'm going to bark so you will be scared to come near.” If you want to know how to stop dog barking, this is crucial info! Simply saying “STOP!” won't do it for our dogs, no matter how much we try. They're protectors — they won't get it why you're asking them to stop when danger is really there! They're worried the strange shadow that passed the window will harm you or the property, so unless their fear of the danger is pacified, barking will persist. How Doggy Dan Rule #4 Helps Dogs Switch Off and Stop Barking Rule #4 enables dog owners to communicate this clearly to dogs: “You are not the one in charge of danger, I am. You can relax. I'm going to handle every decision around danger. I deal with the threat. Thank you, you can calm down now.” Of course, we can't just say this out loud expecting our dog to immediately walk away from the threat. Your dog has to feel, see, and hear that you are indeed a confident, capable leader they can trust to handle danger. And when they feel your confidence—your calm, unbothered energy, with body language that's relaxed—they will catch on. But what do you need to do to become a capable Alpha in your dog's eyes? DOG CALMING CODE: THE PROGRAM TO GUIDE YOU HOW TO STOP DOG BARKING How Rule #4 of the Doggy Dan Five Golden Rules Help You React Like a Leader In Charge of Danger In situations where your dog barks non-stop, you can seize the chance to tell your dog: "I've got it handled, buddy. No need to worry or agitated. I got you covered." You can convey this POWERFUL message through your words, voice, body language, and overall demeanor. Communicating this message is purely done through dog psychology so your dog can absolutely get what you mean. If your dog is in a middle of a barking episode, here are three things that can encourage your dog to switch off and be calm. STOP DOG BARKING WITH THE HELP OF THE DOG CALMING CODE Showing Your Dog You Hear Them with a “Thank You!” Your dog has to know that you hear “Danger! Danger! Danger! I'm protecting you so I'm barking” instead of just… well… barking. You can't be the protector in their eyes if you can't even understand the urgency of their barking! Now, there's a thin line between letting your dogs know you get them, and indulging them. I'm sure it's tempting to go to your dog and give them a comforting pat or hug and say “Where's the danger? You scared right? Good boy, I'm here.” But that only tells them they are still the ones making the decisions around danger. All I would do is say “Thank you!” in a calm, gentle, relaxed voice just to let your dog know you hear them but you're not worried. Acknowledging The Danger and Saying Thank You From experience, I know that some dogs aren't satisfied with just hearing “Thank you!” They persist with the barking as if saying “You don't get it! There's danger outside! How can you be unbothered when you haven't even checked yet!” It's very powerful when they see you get up, walk calmly over and check what they're seeing, remaining unfazed, then turning your back on the “danger”, and walk off with a “Thank you!” Your. Dog. Will. Get. It. You've seen the “danger” and you've totally ignored it! You made the decision that you're not worried about the threat your dog sees. It's an effective way to let your dogs know “I've seen the danger and I have a decision about it. The bird you are barking at does not bother me so it should not bother you. Go on and relax.” Making It Absolutely Clear That Barking is NOT Okay In some cases, using the two solutions I mentioned above won't immediately work for the first or second time. Your dog may still continue to bark. If barking persists, you can calmly take them to timeout for a few minutes until they relax. STOP DOG BARKING AND HELP DOGS SWITCH OFF WITH THE DOG CALMING CODE What Your Dogs Will Learn From the Rule #4 This powerful rule has three pillars that dog owners ABSOLUTELY have to know: #1: I am the Pack Leader. I Deal with Danger Rule #4 lets your dog know “I am the leader here, so I will protect you. If there's danger, I'll handle it. You don't have to worry.” Dogs naturally look up to a strong and confident pack leader, someone they can trust to make decisions in potentially dangerous situations. Being a leader who makes the decisions and remains unbothered by threats makes your dogs feel “Ahhh, someone capable is taking the protector hat from me. Finally, I can relax!” Dogs will start to switch off their vigilance (and non-stop barking!) and have faith in you as a leader. #2: I Decide What's Dangerous or Not It's true — your dog barking aggressively at a bird's shadow looks ridiculous! But your dog doesn't know a bird is NOT a big threat. However, you do! And the simple gesture of saying “Thank you!” and calmly acknowledging the source of the barking without a worried energy can help your dog understand there's nothing to stress about. Rule #4 helps you communicate “Relax, it's not a threat” through your energy, tone of voice, overall demeanor, and body language! #3: I Take Lead on How to React To explain this fully, let me tell you a story about an Alpha, their pack of wolves, and an ice cream motorcycle. For wolves, the ice cream motorcycle is totally alien! It's not a creature of the woods. It's strange, so therefore, dangerous. When it comes to tricky situations like this one, the Alpha is steps in to do the checking while the other pack members wait. BECOME THE ALPHA OF THE PACK WITH THE HELP OF THE DOG CALMING CODE Then, after a few minutes of checking, the Alpha walks away, totally ignoring the bike. Do you think the other wolves will cry out “Uhm, excuse me? It's still dangerous!” NO! The Alpha knows. And because they walked away calmly, ignoring the thing that all of the pack thought dangerous, the other wolves understand there's nothing to worry about. Oh but how different would it be if the Alpha started barking at the bike! Other wolves surely join in in no time! In situations your dog perceives as dangerous, THEY WILL BE LOOKING TO YOU. The way you react to things your dog considers as threats has the power to stop your dog from having a full-on barking spree! THE DOG CALMING CODE: THE GUIDE TO HELP YOU HAVE CALMER, HAPPIER DOGS The Five Most Common Mistakes Dog Owners Do to Stop Dog Barking Yes, even the most well-meaning gesture can encourage frequent barking responses from your dog. Let me explain… In an ideal world, we dog owners should be reacting to our dog's barking episodes with a calm energy and an unbothered body language. However, this is NOT ALWAYS the case. In fact, I have worked with dog owners who correct dog barking through this scenario: Let's say a dog named Rover starts barking at someone walking past the front gate. In the eyes of Rover, the stranger poses a threat of real danger! But here's the scenario that PLAYS OUT MOST IN REAL LIFE. Rover: *Barking to say “Hey everybody, there's a stranger close to the property. Is this danger real? What should I do?”* Dog Owner: “Cut it out, Rover!” (in a shouty voice) Rover: *Continues barking to say “But seriously, I'm barking because they look dangerous, and you're shouting back so I'm barking louder—can't you hear me?!”* Dog Owner: “I said cut it out now!!” (more irritated) Rover: *Barking louder than ever “There's danger present and I'M BARKING THE LOUDEST BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT SEEING THIS FOR YOURSELF PLUS YOU SOUND AGITATED SO I'LL BARK EVEN MORE!” Finally, the stranger is no longer in sight. Rover stops barking, and goes over to his owner who says “Good boy, Rover. Good boy.” From the interaction above, we learn of FOUR BIGGEST MISTAKES that you can do when teaching your dog to stop barking. Mistake #1: Dog Owner Shouts Without Doing Anything to Acknowledge the Dog's Call for Attention. They made no effort to confirm if there was danger or not, sending the signal to the dog that danger is their job to deal with. That puts stress on the dog to take charge and become overly protective. Mistake #2: Not Keeping Their Energy in Check Dogs are big energy readers and absorbers. You can influence them with your energy. Even if you're saying “Thank you!” but you're doing it with an irritated tone, your dog will think the danger is bothering you. Mistake #3: Giving a Treat After a Dog's Barking Episode If you give your dog a pat, a cuddle, a hug, or a treat after they barked non-stop, your dog will start thinking they did the right thing! Your dog will think “If I sense danger, my owner wants me to bark my loudest because I have to do all the protecting.” The more you give rewards to a dog that barks non-stop, the more they will think that there's no problem with barking all the time! Now, I'm going to include two more mistakes not found in the scenario above, which often stall the success of Rule #4. Mistake #4: Giving Pats and Cuddles WHILE Dealing with Danger I empathize with you — it's heartbreaking to see a stressed dog. It's so easy to give in to hugging them or patting them while on a barking episode. You might go “Oh, Rover. Is that bird making you scared? Go away, bird! How about now? Are you still scared?” Let me tell you this: it's going to do more harm. You have to be absolutely clear that it's you who will have the final say whether or not something is worth the worry. LEARN MORE ABOUT THE DOG CALMING CODE, THE PROGRAM TRUSTED BY 88,000 DOG OWNERS! Mistake #5: Cheating Through the Process Some dog owners give up after the first “Thank you!” thinking it will still work on their dogs. Truth is: it won't. You have to operate in a language dogs can process and understand. And the process of saying the first “Thank you,” checking out the source of the barking, showing calm and unbothered demeanor, and giving timeouts when necessary should be done in order for it to work. How to Stop Dog Barking: Calmer Dogs Have Owners Who Understand Rule #4 By Heart Dogs — especially those who have taken on the responsibility of protecting you and your property — can't relax. They're constantly running around, barking non-stop at everything and everyone, and often exhibit serious separation anxiety. You can easily tell a relaxed dog from a wired one, and the difference is always so sad. I remember the first time a dog licked my hands after using Rule #4 on him. In that moment, I thought it was just a sweet coincidence. However, so many dogs I've helped since then would do the same. Dogs who FINALLY SWITCHED OFF would lick my hands as if saying “Thank you!” It's as if it's their way of telling me: “Wow, mate. You finally got the security covered. I'm gonna switch off now.” This is why I always ask dog owners to learn Rule #4 of the Doggy Dan Five Golden Rules as it is the solution that solves both the root cause of the problem and the non-stop barking. I've seen it transform my dogs and the dogs of the people I have worked with. Dog owners who follow it have less stress on the park and during walks because unfamiliar stranger and dogs in the park no longer triggers their dogs! I know you love your dog, and I know that aside from the barking, you also want them to be the happy, calm, relaxed, healthy dog you've always wanted them to be. I have four words: follow Rule #4. LEARN MORE ABOUT GOLDEN RULE NUMBER FOUR WITH THE DOG CALMING CODE Dog Calming Code: How to Stop Barking and Help Dogs Live the “Switched Off” Life I hope by now you see that Golden Rule #4 of dog training is a gift our stressed, anxious, high-wired dogs WILL ABSOLUTELY THANK US FOR. However, as a dog trainer who has helped thousands of dog owners navigate their dog's barking problem with Rule #4, I know that it's also EASY TO GET THIS WRONG. But in your quest for a bark-free household and happier dog, I've made sure YOU WILL NEVER FEEL ALONE OR CONFUSED BY HOW TO IMPLEMENT THIS RULE. In my online dog training program, the Dog Calming Code™️, you'll discover the thorough, step-by-step instructions on Rule #4, and all the other Golden Rules. With the Dog Calming Code, you'll learn answers to common questions around Rule #4 including: What do we do if we don't know what our dog is barking at? Will we have to do this forever? Is it ok to call the dog to us to stop it barking? What should we do if after the second thank you our dog runs away and plays a game of chase! Should we praise our dog when he comes to us after he has barked? Is it ok if we change the word to something else? Is it ok to recall our dog when he is barking? After the second Thank You our dog likes to do one more gruff but then follows us inside, my question is do we have to isolate him for this? We still want a guard dog, how will this work? Let me assure you: this is not one of those temporary, quick-fix, no-more-barking-solutions. Rule #4 talks to your dog's very core, assuring them “Hey, you're not in charge. And the one in charge has you covered 100%. No need to bark, or bite, or chase anymore. Take a break, buddy. You deserve it.” And really, isn't that what YOUR dog absolutely deserve?

The Blind Rage podcast: Horror Movie Commentaries

“I dunno about everybody else, but I certainly got a hard-on.”   It's closing time at Zipper's Clown Palace, one of Hollywood's sleaziest strip clubs, when a deranged gunman (Rick Dean) strolls on in and holds the remaining patrons, as well as its employees, hostage. As a long night wears on, we come to find that our verbose villain has developed an unhealthy infatuation with Christina Martin (Maria Ford), one of the club's most popular dancers, and decides this is the night they meet face to face.   Like many Roger Corman productions, especially of this era, Stripteaser is very much a family affair. Dean and Ford have appeared in numerous Concorde / New Horizons Home Video quickies (a handful of ‘em together), as have Nikki Fritz and Duane Whitaker.  Duane, most often seen in front of the camera, penned the screenplay directed by Dan Golden, who stood at the helm of several Concorde films. Fans of low-budget thrillers will undoubtedly recognize the name Andrea V. Rossotto, cinematographer on more than 70 productions, a good percentage of them for Corman. Tossed into the mix is R.A. Mihailoff, who played the title role in Jeff Burr's under-appreciated Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw Massacre III. Here, he's wielding bottles, as opposed to power tools, playing “Little,” the bearded, beer-bellied bartender.   Though I've been a long-time fan of this micro-budget, straight-to-video epic, I never before noticed the endless padding throughout its 74-minute running time. From extended dance sequences to opening titles that seem to go on forever, Stripteaser utilizes a number of methods to maximize what couldn't have been more than a 50-page script. It's actually over 7 minutes into the film before any dialogue is spoken. Nevertheless, there's enough here to keep the viewer entertained, especially if said viewer enjoys excessively gratuitous nude scenes. There's a moment in the film where one of the dancers, fully disrobed, stands over a strategically-placed stage light and there's practically a near-glimpse of cervix.   While there's no doubt that Stripteaser is a T&A film (the title pretty much says it all), some of the performances are particularly strong. Rick Dean plays a pretty convincing psycho and delivers every line (and demented cackle) as though this were a mainstream film meant to be seen by a much larger audience. Maria Ford, who probably holds the world record for playing more strippers than any other actress, has always given her all, despite the lackluster material she's so often given. Here, she plays the doe-eyed woman-in-peril to the letter.   Much to my surprise, Stripteaser is available for streaming via YouTube and in its uncut, unrated version. However, if you'd like to watch using the Concorde DVD, which runs 1:14:06, please feel free to do so.   --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/blindragepod/message

We've talked about a few of them on the show before. Right now we're going to be talking about a completely different approach to home security and what Ring's latest camera is all about. Hi everybody. Craig Peterson here. Thanks for joining me. Okay. Ring has been around for a while. As I recall Ring was purchased, two, three years ago by our friends over at Amazon. They have some interesting security stuff and they've certainly had their fair share or share of computer problems, security problems here over the years who hasn't, right? This is what's being called a true ambitious new home security device. This thing is really cool. It sits there. It just, it says Ring on the front. it's just a little square almost. The device has got rounded corners, so looks very nice. And it's got a little light button on it. One of those little Rings, which is always cool, but it's called the always home cam. And this thing reminds me a little bit of a movie that I've enjoyed many times called Tron from way back when. You might even remember these flying T things, although they had two legs on them and they flew around, that's what this Ring looks like. It is an autonomous and manual little Quadrocopter, and it is designed where all of the blades are completely hidden if you will. So they're not going to run into anything. They're not going to hurt anything or anyone and hanging beneath these four enclosed blades is a thing like a pack of gum. You remember the old packs of gum, the long thin ones. That's it looks like underneath these four blades. So the idea is you pay them 250 bucks and you plug this thing in, you're going to have to configure it obviously, but it is this little, I guess a Quadrocopters, how I describe it that sits in its charging base. Now, when it's in the charging base, it's the tail, the long downward part of the T that sits completely immersed in the charging base. So this charging Base goes all the way up around the base of the Quadrocopter. And it's just the blades that are exposed on top. What it has on that is a camera. I imagine it probably also has a microphone. It doesn't say, but it has a little camera. So when it's in the dark it's charging and that camera is not active. Even if it was it wouldn't be able to see anything. But what's really cool about this thing is that it can provide you with viewpoints throughout your house. You don't need multiple cameras anymore. The Rings founder's name is Jamie Siminoff. And he's also the chief inventor said that Ring has spent the last two years called focused on the development of the device. And that it is an obvious product that is very hard to build. And thanks to advancements in drone technology. Ring pulled it off. They're not available yet. It's called the "always home cam." So I'm keeping an eye out for this thing. It is quite cool. It, you can program it what path to take, where it can go. When you first get it, you build a little map of your home for it to follow. And it asks you for specific viewpoints, such as the kitchen or the bedroom, and the drone can be commanded to fly on-demand or programmed to fly when a disturbance is detected. So you might have a Ring alarm system you in that might include a window opening sensor door, opening sensor. So this little drone can fly up in the air. When it detects someone trying to break in and off it goes, isn't that cool? The drum makes an audible noise when it's flying. Of course, it's small and it's got all these little blades for little blades. So it's obvious when footage is being recorded. I'm looking at a picture of her right now. It's very cool. Indoor only it's got high Def Ten-Eighty P video. It only records when it's in flight, the propellors are enclosed and integrates with the Ring alarm. So if you are a Ring fan, Check it out. If you're looking for home security, it is not a bad thing. If you are a business, do not buy Ring. Okay. Because there are real security problems with some of these devices. They are not certified for use in any business that has any federal contacts. In the near future, it's all being disallowed. So just keep that in mind as well. If you're looking to buy security stuff. Also the cheap security stuff we have found backdoors in. Chinese spies that they're just getting in and they are messing around. So be careful of the Panda out there that is the bottom line. Now we were talking about Teslas earlier, autonomous cars, electric cars. I got to add this. I was thinking about it as we were talking, but Elon Musk announced just about two weeks ago some amazingly aggressive plans. He has built a big battery plant. You probably know about that. I think that was in New Mexico or Nevada. I can't remember. Might be in Nevada. His whole goal behind all of this is to just slash the costs of producing batteries. And he says, Elon Musk, that is that within three years, he's going to have a fully autonomous electric vehicle for $25,000. Isn't that absolutely amazing? Now they were expecting that he would be announcing a million-mile battery, which would be, wow! If he had a million-mile battery and a $25,000 Tesla, I would buy it. I would sell some of the other cars and buy them. They also announced a car that has over a 500-mile range. You're going to have to use one of their supercharge to get that thing charged back up again. But it's absolutely amazing. Could you imagine that a $25,000 electric vehicle battery operated to the market within three years now, the other giveaway from this, because he said it would be autonomous that means, by the way, he has a goal of an autonomous vehicle within three years? So that's another thing to consider. So the model asks the three, my daughter just bought a Tesla Model three, and she's barely used it yet, but she's absolutely loved with it. It is cool. There's no doubt. It is very cool, technology here. I got to hit this before the hour runs out and that is that paying ransomware could land you in jail. This is a fascinating article, came out in about a week ago in ARS Technica, and Dan Golden wrote this thing, but I agree with him. I have many times had to advise people not to pay ransoms for their data and most of the time I have to admit they went and they paid the ransom. Even these companies that say that they can get your data back by scripting it, breaking the encryption, et cetera. Even those companies, well, a large percent of them, not all of them, the percentage of them are actually paying the ransom behind the scenes. So you pay them 50 grand and they pay the 20 grand 40 grand ransom and they make a cool 10 grand right off the bat. Right now. I've got to also mention that there are a couple of websites out there that are dedicated to helping you break the encryption on ransomware. If you do have your data ransomed, now I'm talking about its encrypted and they say, if you want to ever see it again, you pay us. That's different than having ransomware to actually extortion saying, we stole all of your data. Then we encrypted it. And unless you pay this extortion money, not only are you not going to get your data recovered on your computers, but we are going to release everything that we stole, which is your client lists, on and on. We're going to release that to the worldwide internet. Most companies say, Oh no, don't do that. we'll pay, we'll pay.  I can understand that. Statistics I've seen right now, I think it's a little less than 50% of companies are paying the ransoms. Now, part of the reason when I say not to pay the ransoms is you, don't want to encourage these guys. They are stealing your data. You have your intellectual property that you have spent a lifetime building, right? Or a career building it's not something that really they should be having access to and you don't want to encourage them. One of the things that these bad guys have found. Is, if they can get you to pay a ransom today, they can get you to pay a ransom in a couple of weeks. So they'll try and hit you again because it takes most companies a while. And to bring in security managed security company like mine takes a while to get everything locked down. Usually what we'll do in that case, is we'll come in, just lock the heck down then try and restore them from backup. Hopefully, their backups are good. I got to say 80% of the time, the companies that think they have backups do not have good backups and it can't all be restored. Plus the time it takes to restore them, you got to factor all of this in. Treasury Department officials said in an official advisory published last Thursday that these bad guys are part of as designated sanctioned nexus, which means you are paying a ransom to an organized criminal or to a blocked person list.  There prohibited lists, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, other countries that it is forbidden for you to do business with. So guess what ends up happening then if you pay ransoms law enforcement officials can now charge you. The treasury department, says they're going to. So keep an eye out for that. Make sure you stick around because we'll be back here after the top of the hour. Check out my website, Craig peterson.com. There's a whole lot of information there as well for you. And we're going to talk about the future of computers and it has nothing to do with Intel, nothing to do with AMD, at least the way it looks right now.

Smart Agency Masterclass with Jason Swenk: Podcast for Digital Marketing Agencies

Do you struggle to get clients to view you as an authority? Do you have a difficult time communicating value to your prospects and clients? Are you concerned about losing work to machine learning or AI? When you position your agency in the context of strategy, you bring value to clients and outlast computer intelligence. In today's episode, we'll cover: How to grow your agency team the right way.  3 ways to set your agency apart from AI. Do your clients view your agency as a trusted advisor? Today I sat down for an interesting talk with Dan Golden, co-founder and president of BFO, a digital marketing agency with over 60 employees globally. Over the past 10 years, Dan and his partner have grown their agency across the globe and learned what it takes to be successful in today's changing market. He's here to talk about what he's learned about growing a team and evolving his agency with changing technology over the past decade.   How to Grow Your Agency Team the Right Way When you're first starting an agency, it's easy to focus on rapid growth. What can I do to get more clients, make more money, and grow my team? It's a natural instinct. We all want to find success and we can be impatient waiting for it to come organically. But if you're not careful, you may find the growth of your team no longer supports the work you bring in.  So how do you avoid this and make sure you don't have to make some painful cuts? Focus on "right-sizing": As you're building your teams, don't simply be reactive to the work that comes in. Be intentional with the type and size of team you create.  Resist the urge to overbuild management: It may seem like a natural progression to promote your early employees to managers as the agency begins to grow. But just because someone has been there the longest, doesn't mean they should be a manager. Put the right people in the right places and don't create a position you don't need.  3 Ways to Set Your Agency Apart from AI If you're not paying attention to AI, you should. AI is changing the industry and forcing many agencies to take a hard look at the way they do things. And the hard truth is, there are many agencies vulnerable to losing business to AI. The trick is to position yourself so you work with AI, not against it. This means: Refocus on where you add value: A machine can compile spreadsheets and discover trends, but what about strategy? You may need to shift how you do business. However, if you restructure some of the engagement to strategy instead of execution, you will still end up with a valuable partnership.  Embrace the change: AI isn't all bad. Automation can make your life easier and add value to your clients. Focus on how you can use this technology and act as a shepherd to guide clients through this new world.  Up your skills: AI can have a steep learning curve. Be the best in class in understanding how to manipulate machine learning algorithms and do something not many other people can.   Do Your Clients View Your Agency as a Trusted Advisor? "Most agencies give away their secret sauce and then charge for cooking." As agencies, we tell our clients exactly what we do and why we do it. The problem is, eventually, you'll have clients who think they can do it on their own. But you can prevent this.  Know the value of your services: One of the main reasons clients don't understand the value of strategy is because you don't understand the value of strategy. If you're not charging strategy as a separate line item, do it now.  Be flexible: Things are changing. There are more resources available on the client's side than ever before. Some clients may not need you for everything. And that's okay.  Ask the right questions: The client may think they have a better strategy, but what are they risking? Lay it out to them — How many leads are they getting? What is a lead worth? What type of traffic are they getting from these leads? When faced with hard facts, many clients will see the benefit of working with an expert.  Now, more than ever, it's important to highlight what you bring to the table. When you position yourself as a trusted advisor instead of an executioner, your clients are going to have a harder time walking away.  Looking for a Payroll and HR Solution for your Agency? Payroll and benefits are hard. Especially when you're a small business. Gusto is making payroll, benefits, and HR easy for small businesses. You no longer have to be a big company to get great technology, great benefits, and great service to take care of your team. For a limited time, Gusto is offering a deal to Smart Agency Master Class listeners. Check out Gusto.com/agency for 3-months FREE once you run your first payroll with them.

Drew declared it Dan Golden and Maria Ford month, so having looked over 1994’s Saturday Night Special last episode, this time we go for one of their most famous collaborations: 1995’s Stripteaser. A psychopathic madman - played by the astounding Rick Dean, in his most incredible performance ever - takes the staff and customers of a strip club named Zipper’s Clown Palace hostage, and then proceeds to alternate between forcing them to act out his whims, and monologuing at them. Seriously, Dean has like a 15 minute monologue in this one. It’s like nothing you’ve ever seen on film before. And of course, given it’s his magnum opus, how could we not look at the life and times of Rick Dean? He was a trained stage actor, and a favourite of a number of LA avant garde playwrights. Unfortunately, he never got the chance to show his skills in A movies, but that’s their loss, right? The B movie world got some seriously unforgettable work from him.

Dr. Snuggles and friends return for episode 57 of your guide to the truly astonishing world of softcore films, and the world’s number one podcast on that subject! Drew has declared it Dan Golden and Maria Ford month, and who are we to argue with Drew now that he’s been promoted? The next two episodes are films directed by Dan Golden, starring his regular collaborator Maria Ford (and also both star his other regular collaborator, Rick Dean, as it happens). The first is Golden’s 1994 country music and murder softcore romance Saturday Night Special, and Get Soft’s regular collaborator, Jaymz from the NBA Straya podcast, comes along for the ride! Ford and Dean are joined in the movie by country/rockabilly superstar Billy Burnette in his first acting role, and also briefly joined by ol’ crazy eyes, Mick Fleetwood. So that’s unexpected. And, even though it’s Dan Golden and Maria Ford month, we’re actually turning the Softcore Spotlight on some of the male leads for this episode and the next one. There’s plenty of time to get to Golden and Ford later, but when else will we get to talk about Billy Burnette? Never, that’s when! So we talk about his life and career in both music and film. He was in Fleetwood Mac in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, you know. Also, he started his singing career when he was just seven years old! We sample a bunch of hits from throughout his career (and maybe one or two misses, to be honest - sorry Billy). Hey, why not call us on our hotline? (724) 246-4669!

Espionage 101: How the CIA, FBI, and Foreign Intelligence Secretly Exploit America's Universities

Once upon a time, at the apogee of the cold war, the CIA recruited the best and the brightest from our most elite universities. The likes of George HW Bush, James Jesus Angleton, William Bundy, Porter Goss, and Cord Meyer, all owed their allegiance to God Country and Yale. And Harvard also had its share. These universities were, as someone once referred them, “a nursery of spooks.” Today, like everything else, espionage has gone through its own creative destruction. Colleges and universities are still at the epicenter of espionage, but it’s all been impacted by globalization, technology, the free flow of international students and professors and information, and yes, 9/11. It’s as if the military industrial-complex that Eisenhower warned us about, is now the military, industrial, intelligence and university complex. Bringing this all into bold relief is Pulitzer Prize winning author Daniel Golden, in his book Spy Schools: How the CIA, FBI, and Foreign Intelligence Secretly Exploit America's Universities. My conversation with Dan Golden:

For decades, intelligence recruitment has been taking place at American universities. This isn’t only done by the FBI and CIA, but by geopolitical rivals such as China, Russia and Cuba, that recruit students and professors to gain access to sensitive research and gain insight into U.S. culture and policy. In turn, the U.S. enlists foreign students and teachers to spy on their home countries.   Although many may not be aware of this practice, Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Dan Golden has spent decades researching it, and recently released a new book on the subject, “Spy Schools: How the CIA, FBI and Foreign Intelligence Secretly Exploit America’s Universities”.   On this episode of 15 Minutes, the Cipher Brief’s Mackenzie Weigner spoke with Dan about his book, some of the examples and cases of intelligence recruitment in American schools, how it started, and what schools aren’t doing to stop it.
