Podcasts about diy do it yourself

In this episode of The Freelancers Teabreak, I discuss the three tiers of services freelancers can offer: DIY (Do It Yourself), DWY (Done With You), and DFY (Done For You). DIY services include low-cost offerings like guides, training, or templates that clients use independently. DWY involves more interactive options such as memberships or coaching, where freelancers provide support and accountability. DFY is the premium service where freelancers handle tasks entirely, like creating website content, requiring fewer clients at a higher cost. This tiered approach helps cater to varying client needs and budgets without discounting services.   Follow me on Instagram Follow me on Bluesky Email: hello@emmacossey.com  Come join us in the free Freelance Lifestylers Facebook group Want more support?

One of the least explored subgenres in cinema is the short-lived, radical category known as "punk film." This genre emerged in response to the rise of punk music in the late 1970s, which served as a counterpoint to the hedonistic glam of disco and dance music—a genre I also enjoy. However, punk's emergence was more than just a musical trend; it was a political reaction against the shift toward right-wing and neoliberal policies in Britain and America. Punk embraced a "DIY (Do It Yourself)" ethos that challenged the notion of expertise as an elitist barrier to creative expression. With this DIY spirit, anyone could participate and create without needing to be a skilled musician or filmmaker. Notable examples of punk cinema include Susan Seidelman's *Smithereens* (1982), Allan Moyle's *Times Square* (1980), Julien Temple's *The Great Rock and Roll Swindle* (1980), and Gregg Araki's *The Doom Generation* (1994). However, the film that arguably stands as the "Citizen Kane" of punk cinema is Alex Cox's *Repo Man* (1984). This visionary film captured the punk ethos of early 1980s Los Angeles. *Repo Man* is smart, bizarre, hilarious, and cosmic—making it one of the standout films of the underground cinema of that decade. Join Azed and Tom as they explore this remarkable work by the often-overlooked Alex Cox.

What in the world is the status quo? How is it able to keep you from closing deals? My guest, Will Barron, founder of Selling Made Simple and the Salesman Podcast, is here to reveal the number one deal killer. Tune in to learn more about the status quo, Will's experience with it, and how he was able to overcome this sales challenge. Introducing Will Barron Will Barron, the mastermind behind Selling Made Simple and the Salesman Podcast, brings a wealth of experience and expertise in B2B sales. He specializes in helping salespeople close more deals in a simplified manner. Will's strategies revolve around understanding the root causes of sales stagnation and turning them into actionable steps. What is the Status Quo? You know that feeling where you won't do anything unless there's a massive reward at the end? It kind of stalls your motivation to get things done. This feeling illustrates the concept of the status quo. Many salespeople face situations where deals stall and ultimately fall off the pipeline, not due to competition or pricing, but simply because of inertia. There are psychological and business factors contributing to the status quo. Often, it's not about the product or the competitor, but more about the inherent resistance to change. Engaging with Decision Makers Often, you may find yourself speaking to individuals who lack the authority to move deals forward. You want to communicate with the decision-makers to close deals. Will provides practical advice on identifying and engaging those with the actual power to affect change. DIY Objection & Simplification Without realizing it, you may be oversimplifying or overcomplicating the sales process, making prospects believe they don't need external help. Will explains the DIY (Do-It-Yourself) objection, where prospects feel they can implement solutions on their own. He also shares how to keep prospects in the “Goldilocks zone,” where they see the value in seeking professional help for their problem. “If you're selling complex products to sophisticated buyers, where there are real financial concerns and businesses on the line, you need to guide them through their buying journey. You need to help them make decisions and move forward.” - Will Barron.  Resources www.salesman.com The Salesman Podcast LinkedIn Prospecting Course Cold Call Openers Sponsorship Offers This episode is brought to you in part by Hubspot.

Dans une manif, une foule ou une fosse, le nombre fait la force. On se sent moins seul⋅e avec sa bande. Comment s'organisent celles et ceux qui ont décidé de faire collectif au sein d'une société qui prône l'individualisme ? Que permettent ces groupes et espaces autogérés ? Et comment ces modèles solidaires, nés autour de l'amour de la musique, peuvent imprégner le reste de la société ? Dans ce premier épisode de « Comment la musique change le monde », Camille Loiseau nous emmène à la rencontre des collectifs bruxellois Chanoirs, CNN199 (Souterrain) et les Volumineuses. Dans une société qui prône l'individualisme, les collectifs forment des micros-sociétés avec leurs propres règles, leurs valeurs et leurs combats à défendre. Antoine Grenez est l'un des cofondateurs du collectif pluridisciplinaire Chanoirs (actif dans la musique, le design, les arts numériques et la mode). Pour lui, toute révolution débute par un acte de rébellion. Avec Chanoirs, il trouve une plateforme d'expérimentation artistique, individuelle et collective. Le 19 septembre 2023 Rival remonte sur la scène du Botanique à Bruxelles avec son crew CNN199. Il raconte la naissance du groupe de rap - et celle du collectif Souterrain Production (Defij, Pitcho) - dans les années 1990. Pour lui, la culture hip-hop (rap, breakdance, graffiti) s'est révélée salvatrice. Sa spécificité : être ouverte au plus grand nombre grâce à l'éthique du DIY - Do It Yourself - tu n'as besoin de rien d'autre que de la volonté et de la détermination. Un flashback qui nous amènera Place de la Monnaie. À l'époque lieu de rassemblement des crews hip-hop, elle s'est vue occupée par le collectif Bezet (La Monnaie Occupée) durant la crise du Covid19. Des artistes s'y rassemblent alors pour revendiquer leurs droits et défendre la culture comme bien public essentiel et fondamental. Quand il s'agit d'occuper l'espace - sonore et physique - ce sont les Volumineuses qui entrent en scène. Collectif à géométrie variable, les Volumineuses ont pour vocation de transformer le paysage musical en mettant en avant les personnes sexisées - c'est-à-dire victimes de sexisme - encore minoritaires sur les scènes et dans les backstages (comme le montre les rapports de SCIVIAS). Elles s'attèlent à remplacer la productivité, l'efficacité et la rentabilité par des valeurs de soin et d'écoute. Manon Bonniel-Chalier, coordinatrice des Volumineuses, prend la parole. Comment ces pratiques collectives pourraient à leur tour inspirer des changements au sein de la société ? Et si pour changer le monde, il fallait avant tout se rassembler ? avec Antoine Grenez (Chanoirs), Manon Bonniel-Chalier (Les Volumineuses) et Rival (CNN199) Ecriture, conception et montage : Camille Loiseau Composition musicale & co-réalisation : Théo Rota Mixage : Christophe Loerke Prise de son additionnelle : Radio Panik Merci pour votre écoute Tous les épisodes de ce podcast sont disponibles ici: https://auvio.rtbf.be/emission/comment-la-musique-change-le-monde-27477 Retrouvez l'ensemble des contenus de la RTBF sur notre plateforme Auvio.be Et si vous avez apprécié ce podcast, n'hésitez pas à nous donner des étoiles ou des commentaires, cela nous aide à le faire connaître plus largement.

Public speaking spots are a great way to get attention for ourselves and what we sell.  This is mass prospecting on steroids.  The key notion here is we are selling ourselves rather than our solution in detail.  This is an important delineation.  We want to outline the issue and tell the audience what can be done, but we hold back on the “how” piece.  This is a bit tricky, because the attendees are looking for the how bit, so that they can apply it to fix their issues by themselves.  We don't want that because we don't get paid.  We are here to fix their problem, not for them to DIY (Do It Yourself) their way to a solution. All selling is public speaking and presentations skills.  However, very few salespeople are trained as speakers or presenters.  This is incongruous, isn't it?  We need to be able to present to the one person in front of us or to hundreds of prospects all gathered together at an event. First of all, we are selling our personal brand and then by extension the solution we are representing.  That is the correct order and just jumping to the solution won't work.  Buyers buy us first and then what we sell.  We all know we can't do good business with a bad guy or gal and our talk is a due diligence process to see if we can be trusted. The dumb way to sell from stage is to provide all of the content up front and then come in at the end with the shiny sales pitch.  There is a discernable break in the flow and the audience braces themselves for the pitch.  This isn't the way to do it.  We need to be interspersing our pitch throughout the talk, so there is no discernable shifting of gears by the speaker.  This way, there is nothing to brace against or push back on. The way to do this is to determine what are the key problems and fears confronting the audience.  We have the fix for these and can be a trusted partner for them.  Once we have determined what are the key problems, we construct our talk to address all the most high priority needs in the time allotted. The talk is broken up into specific chapters, rotating around the key issues.  We need to create hooks, which will grab the attention of the listeners. In each chapter, we outline the downside of not doing anything about fixing the problem we have raised.  We also talk about what needs to be done to fix it, but we don't reveal how to fix it.  To get the point to register with the buyers, we pose rhetorical questions about what will happen if they don't take action to deal with it.  We are painting a dismal picture for them of the future ramifications of leaving the mess as it is. The fact that we understand the problem in detail tells the audience we are an expert in this area.  If we have some visible proof of our expertise, all the better.  We might point them to our books, blogs, podcasts or our video shows.  Today, all of these things are much easier to pull off than ten years ago.  For example, Amazon prints my books one at a time if I request it and so no garage is full of unsold books, which used to be the reality for most authors. Today, creating blogs and pushing them out through social media gives us credibility at almost no cost.  The same with podcasts and videos.  There might be some small cost to recording the shows and hosting podcasts on a platform like I use with LibSyn, but really the cost is marginal.  YouTube hosts my videos and it is free.  Our mobile phones provide amazing quality for recording video and video editing software is not prohibitively expensive. Editing things yourself is possible in a way it wasn't before. This means we can project our expertise beyond the physical limits of the stage.  Let me give you a case study. Please go to LinkedIn and find my page.  You will see I am posting all the time on three subjects – leadership, sales and presentations.  If you scroll down through the feed, you will just see over three thousand posts.  My prospective buyers don't need to read them all, but they can see there is a substantial collection of my expertise there. They can read what I publish and check it for themselves, whether it is good enough or not. This substantially bolsters my personal brand.  It also allows the buyers to follow up after the talk, to check me out further before they buy what I am selling.  For risk averse buyers, this is very important. By incorporating the key hooks into the talk itself, using well-crafted questions to create fear that they may have trouble if they don't fix a problem we have flagged, we eliminate any resistance against what we are selling.  When there is an obvious transition from sharing information to now selling, there is a large barrier created between the speaker and the audience.  They are thinking, “I love to buy, but I hate being sold. Now I am getting the hard sell by this speaker”. Doing it the way I have outlined, we never have any barrier, because we have been working the crowd all the way through the talk.  If our questions hit the mark, they will want to know the “how” from us, after we have sold them the “why” and the “what”. We are aiming to create two concerns: 1. We haven't considered that possibility and 2.  We have not prepared for that possibility.  If we are successful in doing this, then we will get sales. We have caused them to self-discover their own needs without us forcing it down their throats. This is ideal in sales. Would the people who know you or meet you describe you as persuasive? Do you think you are persuasive enough? Persuasion power is the most important, but the most commonly lacking skill in the business world. Do it yourself trial and error wastes time and resources.

What's up everyone, today we're taking a deep dive into customer data and the stack that enables marketers to activate it. We'll be introducing you to packaged customer data platforms and the more flexible options of composable customer data stacks and getting different perspectives on which option is best.I've used both options at different companies and have had the pleasure of partnering with really smart data engineers and up and coming data tools and I'm excited to dive in.Here's today's main takeaway: The debate between packaged and composable CDPs boils down to a trade-off between out-of-the-box functionality and tailored flexibility, with industry opinions divided on what offers greater long-term value. Key factors to consider are company needs and data team size. But if you do decide to explore the composable route, consider tools that focus on seamless integration and adaptability rather than those who claim to replace existing CDPs.The 8 Core Components of Packaged CDPs: What the Experts SayOkay first things first, let's get some definitions out of the way. Let's start with the more common packaged CDPs.A Customer Data Platform (CDP) is software that consolidates customer data from various sources and makes it accessible for other systems. The end goal is being able to personalize customer interactions at scale. I've become a big fan of Arpit Choudhury of Data Beats, he articulates the components of a packaged CDP better than anywhere I've seen in his post Composable CDP vs. Packaged CDP: An Unbiased Guide Explaining the Two Solutions In Detail. 8 packaged CDP components: CDI (Customer Data Infrastructure): This is where you collect first party data directly from your customers, usually through your website and apps. ETL (Data Ingestion): Stands for Extract, Transform, Load. This is about pulling data from different tools you use and integrating it into your Data Warehouse (DWH). Data Storage/Warehousing: This is where the collected data resides. It's a centralized repository. Identity Resolution: This is how you connect the dots between various interactions a customer has with your brand across platforms and devices. Audience Segmentation: Usually comes with a drag-and-drop user interface for easily sorting your audience into different buckets based on behavior, demographics, or other factors. Reverse ETL: This is about taking the data from your Data Warehouse and pushing it out to other tools you use. Data Quality: This refers to ensuring the data you collect and use is valid, accurate, consistent, up-to-date, and complete. Data Governance and Privacy Compliance: Ensures you're in line with legal requirements, such as user consent for data collection or HIPAA compliance for healthcare data. So in summary: Collect first party data and important data from other tools into a central database, id resolution, quality and compliance, finally having a segmentation engine and pushing that data to other tools.I asked recent guests if they agreed with these 8 components.Collection, Source of Truth and SegmentationBoris Jabes is the Co-Founder & CEO at Census – a reverse ETL tool that allows marketers to activate customer data from their data warehouse.When asked about his definition of a packaged CDP, Boris elaborated on the role these platforms have carved for themselves in marketing tech stacks. To him, packaged CDPs are specialized tools crafted for marketers, originally in B2C settings. Their primary utility boils down to three main functions: data collection, serving as a reliable data source specifically for the marketing team, and data segmentation for targeted actions.The ability to gather data from various customer touchpoints, such as websites and apps, is crucial. These platforms act as the single source of truth for that data, ensuring that marketing teams can trust what they're seeing. Finally, they provide the capability to dissect this data into meaningful segments that can be fed into other marketing tools, whether that's advertising platforms or email marketing solutions.Though Boris mentioned the term “DMP,” it's essential to differentiate it from a CDP. Data Management Platforms (DMPs) have historically been tied to advertising and don't provide that rich, long-term profile a CDP can offer. The latter offers a more holistic view, allowing businesses to target their audience not just based on advertising metrics but on a more comprehensive understanding of consumer behavior.Key Takeaway: Packaged CDPs are functional units that collect, validate, and segment data for marketing utility. If you're considering implementing an all-in-one CDP, look for these three core features: comprehensive data collection, a single source of truth for that data, and robust segmentation capabilities.Adding Predictive Modeling to Packaged CDPsTamara Gruzbarg is the VP Customer Strategy at ActionIQ – an enterprise Customer Data Platform.When asked about her stance on 8 components of a packaged CDP, Tamara generally concurred but added nuance to each element. Starting with data collection and ending with data activation, she emphasized the critical nature of these components. Tamara also advocated for the necessity of drag-and-drop UI for audience segmentation, which paves the way for data democratization and self-service.Going beyond mere segmentation, Tamara revealed that her platform offers insights dashboards. These aren't just Business Intelligence (BI) tools; they help marketers understand segment overlaps and key performance indicators, which further empower them to design more efficient campaigns. Her approach involves offering two types of audience segmentations: rule-driven and machine learning (ML) driven. The latter is a distinct component that allows clients to construct audiences based on predictive models, and it's an option that has gained traction especially among mid-market businesses.Tamara also touched upon a salient point regarding large enterprises. Even these giants can benefit from predictive tools when dealing with new data sets they hadn't previously accessed. Collaboration with their in-house data science teams ensures the quality and reliability of this predictive modeling.Key Takeaway: A well-designed CDP should not just offer data collection and segmentation but also facilitate data activation and provide actionable insights. Whether you're a large enterprise or a mid-sized business, the predictive modeling feature in some modern CDPs offers a fast track to gain valuable insights into your audience. Keep an eye out for these extended functionalities when evaluating a CDP for your business.The Importance of Data Quality and GovernanceMichael Katz is the CEO and co-founder at mParticle, the leading packaged Customer Data Platform.When asked about his agreement with the often-cited eight components of a packaged Customer Data Platform (CDP), Michael did more than just nod in approval. He concurred that these elements are, at a minimum, the pillars of first-generation CDPs. Yet, he warned that very few platforms are strong across all these functionalities, giving his own platform as an exception for its comprehensiveness. According to Michael, a robust CDP is not just a collection of features but an integrated system where the entire value is greater than its individual parts.Diving deeper into the conversation, Michael addressed a common shortfall in the CDP landscape—data quality and data governance. Many platforms, he noted, lack robust features in these areas. The result is an unstable foundation that undermines the value proposition of a CDP. In Michael's words, the real magic happens when you can move from the data collection phase through to the data activation layer without compromising on quality and governance.Michael also highlighted a nuanced point that often gets overlooked: the speed at which you can push data out into your application layer must be balanced with maintaining data quality and consumer privacy protection. It's not just about how fast you can move; it's about how fast you can move responsibly.Key Takeaway: When evaluating a CDP, don't just look for a checklist of features. Look for an integrated system that's strong in areas often neglected by others, such as data quality and governance. Speed is important, but not at the cost of quality and consumer privacy. Your CDP should offer more than just rapid data transfer; it should provide a stable, comprehensive platform for making that data actionable.The Main Event: Harnessing and Activating DataTejas Manohar is the Co-founder and Co-CEO at Hightouch, another reverse ETL tool, that's taken a bit more of a controversial stance.When asked about the 8 components of a packaged CDP, Tejas broke ranks. He neither agreed nor disagreed with the elements but instead shifted the focus to the real question: Why do companies seek out a Customer Data Platform in the first place? According to Tejas, it's primarily about harnessing and activating customer data to personalize experiences and drive better outcomes. Everything else, in his view, is ancillary.In a field cluttered with feature lists and component breakdowns, Tejas urged companies to simplify. He distilled the CDP's core functionality into three primary aspects. First, the platform must offer a mechanism for data collection. Second, it needs to provide some form of data transformation; think identity resolution and modeling. And third, it should facilitate data activation, typically through audience building and integrations.For Tejas, the exhaustive lists of features and components often discussed in the martech space are merely a means to an end. Companies shouldn't get lost in the weeds of features or components; instead, they should focus on what a CDP is fundamentally designed to achieve. Tejas argues that it's not about ticking boxes on a feature list but about how these features contribute to the ultimate goal of using data effectively.Key Takeaway: Don't get sidetracked by a long list of features or components when evaluating a CDP. Keep your eye on the main event: harnessing and activating data to improve customer experiences and business outcomes. Simplify your approach, and focus on the core functionalities that will help you reach your objectives.So What's the Hype Around Composable CDPs?Thought of as the new kid on the block, composable CDPs promise a lot of different things compared to the packaged option. Composable CDPs take a modular approach to data management, built from separate, easily interchangeable parts. This design offers finer control over data processes and can be customized to fit particular business objectives. They provide a contrast to packaged solutions, balancing specialized benefits against workflow complexity.Example tools/setup: CDI: Snowplow ETL: Airbyte DWH: BigQuery Reverse ETL: Census Data quality: dbt But not everyone sees the composable route as an entirely new thing.Drawing Parallels: Composable CDPs and the Lessons from Headless CommerceDavid Chan is Managing Director at Deloitte Digital and leads their CDP practice.When asked about the buzz surrounding composable Customer Data Platforms (CDPs), David turned the spotlight on a parallel from his own background—headless commerce. Originating around 2013-2015, headless commerce was a game-changing moment that separated web content management from the commerce tools themselves. In this setup, the content management system functioned as the front end, while the commerce tools handled the heavy-duty logic like checkouts and product details. David observed that this shift towards modularity in the commerce space was an early sign of how composability could transform industries.David then dissected the current state of composable CDPs, comparing it to the early days of headless commerce. The crux of the issue, he said, lies in integration. While today's CDP landscape is flush with features and capabilities, it's noticeably lacking a unified framework for how these components should interact. This fragmentation echoes the initial phases of headless commerce, where disjointed systems eventually gave way to more standardized, interoperable solutions.What sets the CDP space apart right now, according to David, is the absence of those well-defined standards and partnerships that can guide the development of composable architectures. The commerce space underwent a similar period of “mashing and banging,” where different features and tools were reluctant to work in concert. Eventually, standards emerged that dictated how these composable elements should fit together. This level of structure, David argues, is still conspicuously absent in the world of CDPs.Key takeaway: Composable CDPs are still in their formative stages. But given the trajectory witnessed in headless commerce, it's only a matter of time before these platforms evolve to include more standardized, collaborative frameworks. That's what will take them from being a collection of features to a cohesive system, just like headless commerce did years ago.Tap Into Existing Data in Your WarehouseWhen asked about the shift toward composable CDPs, The Co-CEO of Hightouch explained that while the demand for CDPs is high, the satisfaction derived from most available solutions leaves something to be desired. Tejas cited a Gartner report indicating that a mere 60% of organizations find their CDPs valuable. The issue isn't with the CDP concept, but rather with its traditional execution of making a copy of your data—hence the rising interest in composable CDPs.Tejas contends that composable CDPs offer a much-needed alternative. These platforms are designed to tap into the extensive data already stored in an organization's data warehouses. This approach integrates existing data pools, breaking down data silos, and making it accessible to marketing teams. The result is a more practical and efficient way to activate personalized customer journeys.The push toward composable CDPs, then, isn't just a passing fad. It's a meaningful evolution aimed at resolving real-world dissatisfaction with older CDP models. By enabling marketers to seamlessly leverage existing organizational data, composable CDPs stand to make the concept of a CDP not just aspirational but genuinely functional.Key takeaway: The movement toward composable CDPs is rooted in the need for a different data architecture and utilization of existing data. While traditional CDPs sometimes fall short of delivering on their promise, composable CDPs aim to make existing organizational data accessible and actionable for marketers.The Need to Adapt to Complex Customer Journeys and Regulatory DemandsWhen asked about the factors motivating the industry's move towards composable Customer Data Platforms (CDPs), the Co-founder and CEO of Census explained that it wasn't merely a matter of opposing the traditional CDPs. Instead, the focus was on first principles, aiming to provide marketers with more trustworthy data. Boris emphasized that existing data storage solutions, like data warehouses from Google, Snowflake, Amazon, or DataBricks, already hold extensive and infinitely flexible data sets. The question then becomes, why duplicate these resources?Composability, Boris shared, isn't about disassembling systems but about creating components that can seamlessly work together. This approach allows businesses to customize parts of the system without disrupting its overall functionality. Traditional CDPs tend to fall short because they can't offer the level of flexibility modern businesses require, particularly as customer journeys become more complex and multi-faceted.Boris also discussed the increasing complexity in customer journeys, pointing out that marketing has evolved significantly from the times when placing a pixel on a website would solve most tracking issues. Today, especially in the B2B sector, customer relationships and touchpoints are more varied and complicated than ever before.Lastly, Boris touched on emerging regulatory demands. Marketers now have to navigate complex privacy requirements. Whether it's the EU or California, companies are expected to be more transparent about data collection, storage, and usage. This shift makes first-party data and its proper governance crucial, adding another layer of complexity to an already intricate landscape.Key takeaway: The shift towards composable CDPs isn't just a reactionary move against traditional platforms; it's an evolution driven by a need for more reliable data, increased flexibility, and the capability to adapt to complex customer journeys and regulatory demands. By focusing on composability, companies can harness their existing data infrastructure to build more agile, adaptable systems.Debating the Merits of Composable Versus Packaged CDPsOkay so we've covered the components and the definition of a packaged CDP and why there's a need for some companies to explore the more flexible route of a composable stack. Let's hear from various different industry pros about where they side when it comes to the packaged vs composable CDP battle. Choosing the Right Customer Data Platform: Flexibility vs. Cost in the CDP DebateWyatt Bales is Chief Customer Officer at Bluprintx, a global Growth-as-a-Service consultancy who provide Martech, Salestech, and Work Management solutions.When asked about his stance on the debate between packaged and composable Customer Data Platforms (CDPs), Wyatt shed light on some crucial considerations. He noted that for some companies, the ongoing licensing costs of Segment have become a long-term burden. Wyatt referenced a data integrity customer in Belgium, as an example of a company benefiting from a different approach. Instead of operating on a traditional CDP, they use a data warehouse like Snowflake to gauge the quality of their data.Wyatt emphasizes that modern data warehouses have evolved to offer a wide array of tools. These tools, which sit atop the warehouse, serve as insightful indicators of what kind of data you're dealing with. Whether it's about understanding data cleanliness or complexity, the warehouse can act as a hub for diverse data operations. This kind of flexibility makes warehouses an increasingly attractive option for companies looking beyond traditional CDPs.The discussion then veered into the realm of API calls for tasks such as email delivery and campaign execution. Wyatt is convinced that, particularly for the enterprise space, the future lies in leveraging data warehouses for these outbound tasks. The inherent adaptability of warehouses allows for easier integration of various functionalities, offering a nuanced, practical approach to handling customer data.Key takeaway: It's not about choosing one type of CDP over another but understanding your specific needs and options. Companies may find that the flexibility and scalability of modern data warehouses make them a suitable, if not superior, alternative to traditional CDPs.Why Data and Messaging Integration Matters in the Packaged vs Composable DebatePini Yakuel is the CEO of Optimove, a platform that combines a Customer Data Platform (CDP), a journey orchestration tool and an AI engine.When asked about the ongoing debate between packaged and composable CDP and martech solutions, Pini emphasized the importance of contextualizing each company's unique needs. He argued that for many businesses, the true value of data lies in its proximity to messaging channels. In this setup, data isn't just a dormant entity waiting for analytics; it actively informs real-time decisions to improve customer interactions.Pini pointed out a common pitfall: the fragmentation of data and channels. While some tools may excel at data management, they often export that data to another tool responsible for messaging. This can create a disconnection between data analytics and actionable insights. The exported data is fed into a system that remains, at its core, rule-based rather than data-driven.Diving deeper into the importance of integrating data with decision-making, Pini indicated that when data and channels share the same platform, they enable an “AI feedback loop.” This is not just about smarter segmentation; it's about making the entire system inherently smarter. An integrated platform can be adaptive, not just reactive. Such a setup cannot be easily replicated by stringing together APIs from different systems because the latter approach doesn't change the fundamental nature of those systems—they remain rule-based.Closing out his argument, Pini revealed the mindset driving his company's approach to solving this issue. To truly unlock the power of data, they maintain an “obsession” with solving this particular problem. Their unwavering focus enables them to slowly piece together a more comprehensive and optimized solution where data and channels coexist in a virtuous cycle.Key takeaway: The debate between packaged and composable CDP and martech tools isn't about one being universally better than the other. It's about understanding that the real power comes from aligning your choice with your specific needs and goals, especially when it comes to integrating data and messaging channels for actionable insights.Choosing Flexibility and Innovation: The Case for Composable over PackagedArun Thulasidharan is the CEO & Co-founder at Castled.io – A warehouse-native customer engagement platform that sits directly on top of cloud data warehouses.To him, the core difference between composable and packaged CDPs resembles the contrast between open source and closed source systems. A composable CDP, built atop a data warehouse, bestows the flexibility to innovate. If you find something lacking, you're not confined; you can add more tables or transformations to the system.Arun emphasizes that this flexibility is not just theoretical; it's practically beneficial. He brings into play real-world examples, citing tools that perform identity resolution on top of a data warehouse. These tools employ fuzzy logic, rather than deterministic methods, to identify that two rows of data might actually be related. In doing so, they enable a new kind of innovation—one that can only occur in an open system, directly on the data warehouse.In contrast, packaged CDPs often restrict this level of flexibility. They operate in a closed system, limiting your ability to introduce new functionalities or plug in external tools. To Arun, this lack of adaptability can stifle the innovations that are currently shaping the martech industry.Yet, Arun acknowledges that the discussion isn't black and white. There are compelling arguments for both sides, but his preference leans toward the composable model for its adaptability and the freedom it offers for innovation.Key takeaway: Flexibility is currency in today's martech landscape. Opting for a composable CDP over a packaged one can provide you the elbow room to innovate and adapt, positioning you at the forefront of industry advancements.Cloud Data Warehouses, Data Strategy, and the Real Value of CDPsOnce again, let's get thoughts from Michael Katz, the CEO of mParticle (packaged CDP) about how he genuinely feels about the packaged vs composable CDP debate.MK asserted that the dialogue around it is often reduced to noise—distracting from the core issue. To him, the evolution of CDPs is not a luxury but a necessity, paralleling the demands of any growing business. He cut through the chatter to highlight the critical role of Cloud Data Warehouses, noting they serve as an organization's single source of truth, at least in theory.However, MK acknowledged that simply setting up a data warehouse doesn't solve all problems. He emphasized the critical need for a robust data strategy and mechanisms to ensure data quality and integrity. The challenges don't stop at data collection; they extend to navigating an ever-changing landscape of privacy regulations. MK clarified that the value provided by legacy CDP vendors like mParticle is not merely in data storage but in the movement and activation of data.MK also argued that the real evolution in CDPs is away from basic segmentation tools toward more nuanced ‘journey tools.' These not only collect data but offer a greater understanding of that data—providing context and insights. He shared that his focus over the past year and a half has been to move beyond just verifying the data's truth to finding its meaning. Whether it's looking back to understand what happened or looking forward to predict future outcomes, the goal is an ‘infinitely optimizing loop.'Not mincing words, MK criticized the strategy of companies offering reverse ETL solutions. He labeled their approach as “garbage in, garbage out,” cautioning that a quicker path doesn't equate to better results if you have garbage data in the first place. He also tackled what he perceives as distracting tactics—myths about zero data copy, unfounded security concerns, and misleading narratives on deployment times. MK pointed out that initial value and sustained value are not the same; what is easy to initiate is often difficult to maintain in the long run.Key takeaway: Discarding the noise is the first step to understanding the real value of CDPs. It's not just about having a data strategy; it's about continuously refining it to move from data storage to data activation and insights. MK warns against the allure of quick fixes and emphasizes that true value in the data space is a long game, demanding a robust strategy and the right tools.Understanding the Distinct Roles of CDPs and Reverse ETLs in Marketing StrategyPratik Desai, is the Foudner and CEO of 1to1, a personalization agency that works with enterprise clients and has recently released a product called Ragana, a composable search and sort personalization engine built on top of your eComm platform. When asked about the tension between packaged and composable Customer Data Platforms (CDPs), Pratik identifies a core issue: the debate often stems from a misunderstanding of what Reverse ETL tools are actually doing. He explains that marketers are sometimes sold on Reverse ETLs as if they're a one-for-one substitute for CDPs. That's misleading. Reverse ETLs and CDPs are solving different problems. CDPs, for instance, excel in identity resolution, a feature Reverse ETLs don't offer.Pratik digs deeper into the structural gaps that led to the rise of CDPs. Historically, marketing teams were often sidelined when it came to data strategy. CDPs emerged as a tool to give marketers a “seat at the data table.” Reverse ETL tools have value, but they won't inherently solve this organizational disconnect. Buying a new tool won't suddenly align your marketing and data teams if those teams weren't aligned in the first place.Switching focus to enterprise-level challenges, Pratik highlights the importance of operational excellence and data structure. The adoption of a reverse ETL tool won't automatically resolve operational inefficiencies or integrate marketing into broader data strategy. It's not a silver bullet for organizational issues.Pratik ends by urging businesses to examine their unique problems before leaping into any tech solutions, whether it's a CDP or a Reverse ETL. Some organizations, particularly SMBs where marketing already has data influence, can extract enormous value from reverse ETL tools. However, Pratik warns that we're a long way from a one-size-fits-all solution, especially for enterprise-level customers.Key takeaway: Understand your organization's specific challenges before diving into CDPs or Reverse ETLs. These tools are not interchangeable; they solve distinct problems. Align your teams and clarify your data strategy first—only then can you effectively leverage these technologies.Can Reverse ETL Really Replace Packaged CDPs?So let's talk about the confusion in the market. Can reverse ETL actually replace a packaged CDP?Most of the confusion stems from one Reverse ETL vendor in particular: Hightouch. They've written plenty of controversial articles claiming that the CDP is dead and that they can replace it. I sat down with Tejas, the Co-founder and Co-CEO to get to the bottom of why they think they can replace the packaged CDP.Is the CDP Really Dead?Tejas mentioned that large Hightouch customers like Blizzard Activision and Warner already refer to their platform as a CDP (at elast internally). But what makes Tejas' perspective intriguing is that their product doesn't fit the typical mold of a CDP.The core of Tejas' viewpoint rests on the activation of marketing data. He emphasizes that the ultimate differentiator in this space isn't just the collection of data, but how effectively a company can activate and personalize that data. Tejas hints that traditional CDPs often fall short in this area. While they collect mountains of data, they lack in providing actionable insights and seamless data activation for marketing teams.Tejas went on to address a bold prediction made in their company's blog post, stating “CDPs are dead.” He argues that the CDPs of the future will either adapt to the flexible, data activation-centric model their company has pioneered or risk becoming obsolete. In Tejas' eyes, they are shaping the future of the CDP landscape by focusing on what matters the most—enabling companies to own their data, offering infinite flexibility, and allowing data activation across all channels.So some large customers do refer to Hightouch as their internal CDP. Is that enough to be able to claim that the CDP is dead and that they can replace it? I asked Michal Katz for his take on Tejas' argument.Challenging the DIY Approach to CDPsWhen asked about Tejas' claim that some customers refer to their platform as an internal CDP, MK offered a nuanced take. He argues that this viewpoint represents a narrow segment of the market. For Michael, the fragmented DIY (Do It Yourself) approach, often favored by data engineers, falls short in delivering business value, especially for enterprises. MK warns that the “day of reckoning is coming,” as sloppy habits have been formed, particularly during the pandemic. According to MK, these habits often stem from data engineers operating without proper business requirements, resulting in suboptimal digital marketing campaigns.MK points out a significant shift that has occurred over the past 9-12 months—marketers are reclaiming power from data engineers. mParticle is built with marketers in mind, focusing on low-code or no-code data activation. MK notes the importance of usability in delivering value, contrasting their approach with some of the more complex CDPs. Hes emphasize that their platform allows for easy data contextualization and activation, all through a point-and-click user interface.Beyond usability, MK makes a case for integrated platforms, pushing against the notion of using different components for an end-to-end CDP. He highlights the challenges of troubleshooting across multiple systems, especially when things go awry. According to MK, managing across different platforms introduces unnecessary complexities and slows down the ability to deliver business value.MK concludes by stressing that while there may be many paths to value creation, the quickest is usually the most straightforward. In his view, there's considerable value in using an integrated platform where seamless workflows are a given and customization is an option but not a necessity.Not All Reverse ETL Tools Aim to Replace the CDPNot all Reverse ETL platforms have taken a loud controversial approach to marketing though. I asked Boris Jabes, the CEO and Co-founder of Census if his platform replaces a CDP, he emphatically said no.He explained that many of his customers use his product, Census, alongside a traditional CDP. Far from making these platforms obsolete, Boris' goal is to give users access to trustworthy data across multiple locations. His focus is on composability—a philosophy that emphasizes building tools that seamlessly integrate with existing systems. Rather than adding another data silo, Census aims to utilize a business's existing data infrastructure.Boris took issue with the cutthroat language often seen in brand marketing—this idea that one tool “kills” or “destroys” another. According to him, composability benefits everyone; it's the unsung virtue that ensures different tools can work together without causing chaos. This isn't just a win for the marketing team. Sales, finance, privacy, and compliance—all can leverage the same cohesive data structure.Boris also noted that composability isn't just about making it easier for marketers. It's a guiding principle in software development, often discussed even at the level of programming languages. Whether you're a marketer or part of a data team, he advocates for tools that don't just serve their isolated purpose but can also integrate effectively with other components of a business's tech stack.On the topic of identity resolution, Boris argued that if it's happening in your CDP, that shouldn't be exclusive to the marketing team. Census aims to democratize access to this crucial data, ensuring it benefits the entire organization. This is not about Census trying to replace CDPs; it's about working harmoniously with them to provide a well-rounded, integrated solution.Key takeaway: The question isn't whether Reverse ETL can replace a CDP, but how these tools can coexist and complement each other. Composability is the bridge that allows for this harmonious relationship, making the data landscape more functional and less complicated for everyone involved.Why the Idea of Reverse ETL Replacing CDPs is MisleadingDavid Chan, the Managing Director at Deloitte Digital who leads their CDP practice is really close to the composable vs packaged debate. Despite wanting to move on from the debate, I asked him about the perspectives of Census and Hightouch.David pointed out his understanding of Boris' perspective, stating that Boris wasn't aiming to dethrone CDPs but rather to create robust tech solutions for data teams. In contrast, he questioned the sincerity behind Tejas' claim that a Reverse ETL tool could take the place of a CDP.David pulled apart the anatomy of a CDP to make his point. He sees Reverse ETL as just one piece of the larger CDP puzzle. Arguing that no single tool should claim the full functionality of a CDP, David raised some important questions: Is a Reverse ETL tool responsible for real-time and batch data collection? Does it handle transformations and all inbound ETL? Is it responsible for identity resolution? His answer was an emphatic no. He suggested that what Tejas and Hightouch are offering is valuable but shouldn't be inflated into something it's not.He went on to say that what Hightouch and similar platforms can do is to integrate seamlessly into native enterprise data warehouses. This enables frontend users to query data, build audiences, and connect to various downstream systems in martech and ad tech. However, this isn't the same as serving as a comprehensive CDP solution.David seemed to imply that the idea of Reverse ETL replacing a CDP might just be a marketing gimmick to generate buzz. He did acknowledge that such tools offer a convenient plug-and-play into enterprise data structures but felt it was misleading to label them as CDP substitutes.Key Takeaway: The dialogue shouldn't focus on whether Reverse ETL can replace a CDP, but rather how it functions as a component within the broader data ecosystem. Recognizing the limitations and specific utilities of each tool will lead to a more effective and truthful martech strategy.The Irony of Reverse ETL Tools Possibly Becoming the CDPs They OpposeSince we last spoke to Tejas, Hightouch added ID resolution and event collection features. While they are built on your warehouse vs copying your data, many are arguing that this is making them start to look a lot like the packaged CDP they initially claimed to be dead.Aliaksandra Lamachenka, a data and martech consultant is a big fan of the composable architecture for some companies depending on their stage and their team but she shared some of her thoughts on the evolution of CDPs.Aliaksandra candidly dismissed the notion of a one-size-fits-all solution. She believes that as businesses grow, their needs for functionalities will also evolve. Vendors then face a critical decision: either evolve alongside their customers by adding functionalities, or stay true to their core offerings. According to Aliaksandra, this fork in the road could have significant industry implications.Interestingly, she noted that adhering to core values and functionality could actually be beneficial for the industry. Such a stance supports market democratization by serving a broader range of customers at different stages of growth. However, she also points out that vendors will inevitably reach a juncture where they must decide whether to keep adding layers to their platforms to meet customer demands, or to specialize and remain focused on their core offerings.The discussion on packaged vs composable CDPs is happening in a vacuum, Aliaksandra feels. While the industry debates the merits of one over the other, companies are struggling with more immediate and foundational issues like data quality, data lineage, and system discrepancies. For her, these problems underscore the necessity of having a strong data infrastructure in place before even considering which type of CDP to adopt.Aliaksandra highlights a common pitfall: the industry's fascination with adding new tools without considering the state of the existing data. She argues for the importance of first having a “clean” data layer to build upon. Without it, no CDP—packaged or composable—can be fully leveraged. In essence, she champions the idea of data hubs that enforce ownership and documentation by design as a foundational step.Key takeaway: Before diving into the packaged vs composable CDP debate, focus on the basics. Ensure your data is in good shape and avoid adding new tools to a chaotic environment. Once your data is well-managed and reliable, you'll be in a position to make more informed choices about which type of CDP best suits your needs.Episode RecapSo there you have it folks, Hightouch believes they can replace a packaged CDP because a few of their customers refer to them as their internal CDP. But Michael Katz thinks that represents a very narrow segment of the market. He argues that a fragmented DIY approach doesn't optimize business value and isn't practical for most enterprises. On the other hand, Boris and Census have taken a less controversial approach to product marketing and opted for more honest messaging. They don't claim to replace CDPs, in fact they're happy to work alongside them. The core idea behind Census is creating tools that integrate well with existing systems without adding complexity. Census seeks to distribute trustworthy data across different departments, leveraging existing data infrastructure rather than creating another silo. David seems to side with Census on this part of the debate. He doesn't think reverse ETL tools can replace CDPs entirely. His view is that reverse ETL tools are just one component of a complete CDP system and claiming that a reverse ETL tool could serve as a CDP would be misleading. Finally, Aliaksandra argues that vendors offering composable, lightweight solutions are making data more accessible. However, these vendors face a strategic choice: either expand their feature sets to keep customers engaged, risking the credibility of their original bold statements like “the CDP is dead,” or focus on perfecting their core offerings without overhyping their capabilities.You heard it here first folks: The debate between packaged and composable CDPs boils down to a trade-off between out-of-the-box functionality and tailored flexibility, with industry opinions divided on what offers greater long-term value. But if you do decide to explore the composable route, consider tools that focus on seamless integration and adaptability rather than those who claim to replace existing CDPs.✌️ —Intro music by Wowa via UnminusCover art created with Midjourney

What You'll Learn From This Episode: Finding help that's also affordable Why you need to outsource something that you are good at Why hire someone from Philippines? Related Links and Resources: If you go to www.onlinejobs.ph/webinar, there's a 35-minute video where John will walk you through this process. How and why is this different than what you heard before in outsourcing. Summary: John Jonas has helped thousands of entrepreneurs succeed in their business by doing outsourcing differently. He created and runs OnlineJobs.ph, the largest website for finding Filipino virtual workers, with over 1,000,000 Filipino resumes and over 300,000 employers from around the world using it. While making a full-time living he rarely works full time. He works about 17 hours per week, choosing to spend his time with his family rather than working. John has made millions of dollars online directly from work that his 37 full-time Filipino workers have done for him and now teaches others exactly how to do the same thing. Here are the highlights of this episode: John has told us that typically their ideal client is not big business; a solopreneur or entrepreneur who's running your own business or having a small team. But they do have clients who area realtors, doctors, attorney, even from Google, Uber, and a lot more. These folks are facing the common issue of not having much of time of the day to get things done. The need assistance, but it's hard to find that help and someone who's affordable. In the Philippines, you can get a full-time talented designer or programmer. Typically, they feel overwhelmed, that's what John felt when he started the business. Like everyone, he wanted to work for himself and there's no 'boss.' But then he realized "yes, I'm the boss, I'm going to force myself to work 60hrs a day in a week" and it resulted to him feeling stressed and overworked. Common mistake is sometimes having this mindset of DIY (Do It Yourself) because you may still need help. John hired someone full time in the Philippines and it completely changed his life; for the first time ever, he stepped away from his business and worked ON his business to create something for him to do. He then felt liberated! He was forced to get the Filipino guy to do stuff for John and it was amazing. Why the Philippines? For John, he tried people from different countries. For him at beginning, the country doesn't matter. But when he went to the Philippines, he realized that the country matters. They're honest and loyal. The person that John hired back in 2005 still works for him today (16 years). They won't steal your idea, they're hard-working, the speak American English or no communication problem. They really value long-term full-time work, and that creates stability in the business.  John's Valuable Free Action (VFA): Most people would say "outsource what you don't know what to do and do what you're good at." And I say that's a terrible advice; outsource something that you are good at. It's maybe something you don't like doing but you know how to do, get something out of your plate. It makes hiring so easy because you know exactly the skills and qualities you're looking for, you what feedback to give, and even providing training. And when you succeed in this, you're less busy.

What You'll Learn From This Episode: Finding help that's also affordable Why you need to outsource something that you are good at Why hire someone from Philippines? Related Links and Resources: If you go to www.onlinejobs.ph/webinar, there's a 35-minute video where John will walk you through this process. How and why is this different than what you heard before in outsourcing. Summary: John Jonas has helped thousands of entrepreneurs succeed in their business by doing outsourcing differently. He created and runs OnlineJobs.ph, the largest website for finding Filipino virtual workers, with over 1,000,000 Filipino resumes and over 300,000 employers from around the world using it. While making a full-time living he rarely works full time. He works about 17 hours per week, choosing to spend his time with his family rather than working. John has made millions of dollars online directly from work that his 37 full-time Filipino workers have done for him and now teaches others exactly how to do the same thing. Here are the highlights of this episode: John has told us that typically their ideal client is not big business; a solopreneur or entrepreneur who's running your own business or having a small team. But they do have clients who area realtors, doctors, attorney, even from Google, Uber, and a lot more. These folks are facing the common issue of not having much of time of the day to get things done. The need assistance, but it's hard to find that help and someone who's affordable. In the Philippines, you can get a full-time talented designer or programmer. Typically, they feel overwhelmed, that's what John felt when he started the business. Like everyone, he wanted to work for himself and there's no 'boss.' But then he realized "yes, I'm the boss, I'm going to force myself to work 60hrs a day in a week" and it resulted to him feeling stressed and overworked. Common mistake is sometimes having this mindset of DIY (Do It Yourself) because you may still need help. John hired someone full time in the Philippines and it completely changed his life; for the first time ever, he stepped away from his business and worked ON his business to create something for him to do. He then felt liberated! He was forced to get the Filipino guy to do stuff for John and it was amazing. Why the Philippines? For John, he tried people from different countries. For him at beginning, the country doesn't matter. But when he went to the Philippines, he realized that the country matters. They're honest and loyal. The person that John hired back in 2005 still works for him today (16 years). They won't steal your idea, they're hard-working, the speak American English or no communication problem. They really value long-term full-time work, and that creates stability in the business.  John's Valuable Free Action (VFA): Most people would say "outsource what you don't know what to do and do what you're good at."

¿Cuantas cosas de las que tienes las compraste? ¿Cuantas de las cosas que tienes las hiciste tu mismo? DIY (Do It Yourself), hazlo tu mismo, es un término que utilizan varias comunidades de personas que crean cosas por sí mismas sin la ayuda de un profesional. Esto surge como una filosofía que critica la cultura del consumidor y, en cambio, alenta a las personas a tomar las tecnologías en sus propias manos. La ética del Do It Yourself en muchos casos se asocia al anticapitalismo, ya que rechaza la idea de tener que comprar las cosas que uno desea o necesita, intentando hacerlas por uno mismo. Se trata de un movimiento contracutural. Cuando nos enfrentamos a la falta de recursos “Hazlo tú mismo” cobra más importancia que nunca. “Hazlo tú mismo” utiliza al máximo los recursos y también se vale de reciclar y reutilizar logrando la artesanía como salida a lo profesional. Tomando en cuenta que los aficionados al bricolaje son solucionadores de problemas, podemos ver que el movimiento está madurando hacia algo nuevo y mejor: un movimiento DIT (Do-It-Together), dentro de este nuevo movimiento hay un mayor apoyo y una apreciación del éxito colectivo. https://www.facebook.com/bichicori.tranzgenauta

Some A+ (Prime) lenders see consumers with scores in the Fair range as having unfavorable credit, and may decline the application. That usually just depends on your credit score. Are they taking anything else into consideration. Probably not to be honest. Their requirements are very specific and they won't bend those rules. The main reason is because they sometimes have to answer to investors or board of trustees that are many times reviewing the credit criteria or more than likely have come up with the terms of credit they are willing to offer funding to. Yes. You need to be squeaky clean for them to take you on. On the other end of the spectrum there are sub-prime lenders that will take you on. It might not be because you have a low credit score. It is likely that they have reviewed your credit profile and noticed you have no late payments just that your credit utilization is too high and offer you a lower amount but still fund the deal however, with a higher interest rate even though you don't have any derogatory items on the report.  Here's my solution: I put together an ebook that allows you to DIY (Do it yourself) because in the case mentioned above you don't need credit repair just a little consultation. With the DIY (Do it yourself) you will get dispute letters and a real understanding of how credit reporting works but most importantly how to fix your credit profile from having fair to excellent. It's almost like getting a credit specialist from A to Z but except you're the specialist. Of course if for some reason you decided DIY isn't for you the Tier 1 Credit Team is always here to lean on and are committed to helping our clients achieve their goals.

Se há um item que é logo associado à pandemia que estamos vivendo atualmente, esse item é a máscara de proteção. De modelos mais básicos aos mais sofisticados, os protetores faciais até viraram moda, com materiais e desenhos inovadores, além de seu uso sanitário. Pesquisando pela internet ou até mesmo pelo YouTube, pessoas podem encontrar milhares de resultados sobre a confecção de máscaras de proteção, geralmente envolvendo o conceito DIY (Do It Yourself, ou seja, faça você mesmo). A USP e seus professores/especialistas não podiam ficar de fora, e alguns projetos derivados de ideias inusitadas e ações coletivas conseguiram ir para a frente. Um desses casos é a máscara de proteção criada pelo professor Ruy Pauletti, da Escola Politécnica (Poli) da USP, que aproveitou do conceito envolvendo a prática do esporte esnórquel para pensar em uma ideia diferente. “Logo no início, quando começou a ficar claro que a epidemia chegaria no Brasil, eu já ruminava a ideia. Nas mídias sociais apareceu alguém que vestiu uma máscara, um snorkel full-face, eu achei a ideia interessante. E eu então ruminava a ideia, ‘por que não pegar um snorkel e adaptar um filtro nele?'”, explica Pauletti, ao Momento Tecnologia. O projeto se desenvolveu tão bem que a empresa Lorenzetti resolveu apoiar a ideia do professor, e apesar de ainda precisar de testes e comprovações de eficácia, seu potencial pode fazer diferença na proteção de médicos intensivistas. Uma ideia também original surgiu na Faculdade de Medicina da USP, em que as doutoras Lilian Arai e Suzane Kioko Ono (além de suas equipes) fizeram um vídeo no Instagram, divulgando uma ideia simples, mas eficiente. “Bem no início da crise, o pânico e a falta generalizada de TIs nos fez buscar alternativas para proteção dos nossos colaboradores. A gente recebia vídeos de como fazer essas máscaras, uma delas foi a de uma moça, que foi muito legal, que era o das tiaras, que ela prendia com grampos”, comenta Suzane. A simplicidade em torno dessa máscara feita na FM-USP fez com que professores da Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora (UFJF) criassem a campanha Máscara do Bem, que confeccionou máscaras para profissionais de saúde na cidade. “A ideia da campanha Máscara do Bem surgiu da vontade de envolver os alunos, na verdade, de uma insatisfação, de simplesmente assistir à carência de equipamentos de proteção individual dos profissionais”, esclarece a professora Gisele Fabri, coordenadora da Liga de Odontologia da UFJF. E você já imaginou fazer uma máscara de proteção baseada em um filtro de papel, um saquinho plástico de geladeira e um pedaço de barbante? Talvez a ideia possa parecer bem inusitada, mas o professor Henrique Eisi Toma, do Instituto de Química da USP, conseguiu fazer exatamente isso e explica o uso do filtro de papel. “Para o químico, existe o filtro de papel que é muito diferente do papel toalha, do papel higiênico ou do guardanapo. Todos são feitos de papel, mas o papel de filtro foi feito para filtrar. Quando você faz um cafezinho, um filtro de café que é bom, é estéril, filtra bem e você não fica chocado com isso. Filtra um suco, qualquer coisa, é estéril, é higiênico”, comenta. No vídeo abaixo, você confere como a máscara é feita: https://jornal.usp.br/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Máscara-de-proteção-caseira-Professor-Henrique.mp4 Saiba mais ouvindo o episódio na íntegra, com reportagem de Anderson Lima e Gabrielle Abreu.

“No future, no future for you”, sådan vrænger Johnny Rotten fra Sex Pistols på punkklassikkeren, God save the Queen. Således var det startskuddet på en genre, der bragte sikkerhedsnåle og hundehalsbånd med sig, mens punkerne sagde skråt op til alt, hvad der var konformt. Det skal handle om DIY - Do It Yourself - det skal handle om halsbrækkende trommer, hvinende guitarer og vrede vokalister. Men midt i al virakken opstår spørgsmål om den kaotiske livsstil og musikgenre stadig kan være relevant i vores moderne verden. Kort sagt: Det skal handle om punk. Vært: Andrew Davidson.

¿Qué tienen en común Steve Jobs y Bill Gates? Ya sé que muchas cosas. Pero hay una en concreto: ambos han sido auténticos líderes en su sector. Bill Gates lo sigue siendo. ¿Crees que son grandes economistas? ¿Expertos en SEO?¿Especialistas en Recursos Humanos? ¿El alma de las campañas de publicidad de sus empresas? En absoluto. Si hubieran sido todo eso, no habrían llegado donde lo han hecho. ¿Por qué? Porque no se habrían dedicado a lo verdaderamente importante en sus negocios: su fondo de comercio. “¿Qué es eso, Franck?” Muy simple: sus clientes. Esa es la clave. Hablemos ahora de ti. ¿Crees que tú debes encargarte de todo en tu negocio online? ¿Es verdad que tienes que hacerlo todo tú cuando empiezas? Sí... Y no. Me explico. La filosofía del DIY (Do It Yourself) me parece buena. Incluso sana. Yo también he sido autodidacta. Pero todo tiene un límite.

When you're ready to begin looking at your next hunting adventure should I choose a DIY (Do-It-Yourself) approach or should I choose a guided hunt? This is a good question and often the subject of debate. In today's Hunt the World, Bryan, Brian and Brad talk about how they approach the subject. Sometimes it's better to choose DIY, sometimes it is better to choose a guided hunt. DIY is tempting because it's generally less expensive, but is it really? Conversely guided hunts can be more expensive but is there more value to them than meets the eye? Drop in for some good advice from three hunters who've hunted in their own backyards and around the globe.

Programa Let's Go! SkateRadio #63 O programa Let's Go! SkateRadio #63 que vai ao ar nessa próxima sexta, tem o privilégio de entrevistar um skatista profissional que tem no seu currículo, muita bagagem, experiência, skate na veia e acima de tudo, batalhador e sem tempo ruim pra conquitar novos espaços pro skate e para os skatistas: Rafael Finha! Se o termo DIY (Do It Yourself) está tão comum no skate nos dias de hoje, Finha é o mestre nesse conceito há muito tempo. Começa pelo espaço que há mais de 12 anos mantém com muita dedicação, que pode ser considerado um “oasis” na cidade de São Paulo, cravado no bairro do Real Parque/ Morumbi. O espaço conhecido como Quadrinha ou Prafinha, fica no bairro que sua família mora à várias gerações e Finha conquistou cada metro quadrado, aprimorando a cada ano com novos obstáculos construídos com as próprias mãos e desenvolvendo projetos sociais de maneira exemplar (quem conhece, sabe!). Como gosta de deixar claro, não paga pra fazer, ele faz e constrói os próprios obstáculos. E pra quem pensa que manter uma espaço público é fácil, ainda mais pro desenvolvimento do skate, é melhor repensar seus conceitos. A briga é diária e constante. Inquieto, de personalidade forte e sempre criativo, está colocando sua energia em mais uma nova área chamada Quadrespra, quadra próxima a antiga Água Espraiada, que está se transformando a todo momento e como não poderia deixar de ser, construindo novos obstáculos com as próprias mãos, mas deixa claro: Respeite o pico! Pra saber mais dessas conquistas, ouvir as músicas que separou exclusivamente para os ouvintes, as perguntas dos parças e do seu amor ao skate, não perca nessa sexta, dia 07 às 18h, na rádio Antena Zero... e let's go!

John Woerth, who leads Vanguard’s public relations and strategic communications division, and who also has LONG been a believer of “buy and hold” and “you can do it yourself” has now changed his tune. What happened??? Well, apparently this guy is now 56 years old and is starting to have some doubts about his DIY (Do It Yourself) approach as his retirement is on the horizon.  He lists three reasons why he is now thinking it is time to get help from a financial advisor.  

Technology (AI, Automation) Vs. Humanity2020 will reach the highest levels of contraventionWhere should entrepreneurs put their $1 for marketing on in 2020?(and there is a clear winner!!)Elon Musk: “Mark my words, AI is far more dangerous than nukes. Far.” Mark Schaefer: “The most Human Company wins” IDC: “big data and business analytics will surpass $210 billion at a CAGR of 11.9% in two years.” Technology Vs. Humanity - 6 of my most successful entrepreneur guests on the Reach or Miss show are leading the changes. Let’s hear what they think is the most important of the two. Humanity is the King for entrepreneurial success   Mark Schaefer “Marketing is sick right now. It’s too tech-centric instead of human-centric… If you don’t have customers, you don’t have a business.”     Most passionate about I’m a person who is always looks forward, so I’m always in the process of reinvention. I tend to be almost obsessed with the big problems in our business. When I wrote my last book, Known, it was about how creating an effective, powerful personal brand is really the only sustainable, competitive advantage we can have. I was addressing the question: Could anybody become known? The question I’m wrestling with now is that everywhere I go, marketing seems to be stuck. There are a few symptoms: People are over whelmed by technology in marketing They are over using technology in marketing They’re stuck in ineffective patterns Many of the companies today, either big or small have social media departments that were established in 2010 to 2014, and I can assure you that almost none of the outputs these teams are producing have been updated. So much has been changed with social media during the last years. The idea that I have is that marketing is too tech-centric instead of human-centric. We don’t want to talk with our customers anymore; we just want to monitor them on Twitter. We automate everything and we are loosing our hearts, our souls, and our way. Marketing is sick right now! What is marketing, according to Mark? Get out and talk to customers. The truth is out there. Marketing is finding un-met and under-served needs and creating demand to those needs in a unique way. Hopefully by establishing an emotional connection. I love working with entrepreneurs and startup communities; I love their energy. But the biggest frustration I have is that marketing is almost always overlooked. Startups and entrepreneurs are in love with an idea, or with a business model. They think that marketing is DIY (Do It Yourself), they think that they can read some blog posts and do it. But marketing is about finding and acquiring customers. If you don’t have customers, you don’t have a business. Marketing is HARD! It’s really hard. But you’ve got to address it. And if you aren’t a natural marketer or trained in marketing, you’ve got to get help! Because marketing is really the centerpiece of your business; no matter how good your idea is, no matter how much you are in love with it, if you don’t have customers you are not going to have a business! Mark’s best advice about approaching customers I asked a young marketer that wanted my advice whether he talked with the company’s customers, or joined their sales people? He was already six months in that position and never talked with a single customer! You should talk with your customers and ask them: What do you love about your business? What do you hate about your business? What keeps you awake at night? How can we serve you better?     Ramon Ray’s best advice for entrepreneurial business success: “I’m all about relationship building.” I asked Ramon what is he most passionate about?     Most passionate about I love what I do. I educate business owners on how to start and grow their businesses. I’m...

This Podcast Is Episode Number 0327, And It Will Be About Proven Reasons Why Contractors Lose More Money Doing Their Books As a construction or trade contractor, you are highly skilled, intelligent, and adaptable. That is a given because you operate in a multi-faceted changing environment doing the impossible with limited time, money, and resources on every project. Moreover, soon as one is finished, another one is waiting for you.   Many contractors like you feel that hiring a Professional Contractor Bookkeeping Service is a waste of money when you should be able to do it yourself. You press a few keys on your keyboard thinking you are going to get the results you want, accurate bank balances, a report showing who owes you money and who you owe money to, a Profit and Loss Report and Balance Sheet Report you can understand and if all goes well perhaps even some Job Costing Reports. Instead, what you get is a hot steaming pile of fertilizer that cannot even be used in the garden.   The DIY (Do-It-Yourself) approach is one of the traps every contractor who is financially struggling falls into because as contractors, we don't believe in asking for help until we are in deep trouble. We find it hard to trust experts because they cost too much, and most do not understand how construction works. In the end, hiring a QuickBooks Expert in Construction Accounting can prove to be not only beneficial but a safer option. After all, what makes a homeowner or businessperson call an expert contractor like you instead of working on their own construction project? You have the skills, expertise, and experience about how construction projects are done. You know how to bid jobs, collect money, coordinate labor, material, subcontractors and other things needed to get work done, and in the end, you will have saved your customers and clients time, money and frustration. Here are five reasons why contractors like you lose more money doing your bookkeeping: 1. Figuring out the right bookkeeping/accounting software for your business The only way to do it right is to make sure you start it right. Using a particular software depends on the kind of contracting business you have, what you need out of it, and how much time you are willing to devote to learn and use it. Keep in mind that using more popular and in-demand software and applications have a significant advantage in case you are having some issues. Technical support should be readily available, and if not, a quick Google search can lead to video tutorials and community forums. Buying an accounting software or being locked-in for a year's subscription of a cloud service that doesn't particularly align with your company's goals is not cheap. Not to mention the hours you've dedicated to learning and on-boarding your office team will prove to be costly once you realize all the effort you put in won't make any sense because you have the wrong tool from the start. 2. Proper Invoicing When a construction project grows beyond two invoices, and you add job deposits and change orders, the process gets tricky. For instance, there is no "magic button" in QuickBooks that will generate a complex invoice that makes sense to your customer. You need a proper money trail from beginning to end in a way that everyone can understand and appreciate, which means you get paid faster, with less hassle, and your clients will love you for it. Doing it wrong could mean you get little or no down payment when starting a construction project. Keeping change orders paid early and often is crucial to your company's cash flow. 3. Financial Reporting Generating financial reports is easily accessed through your accounting software. The real question here is, how reliable are your reports? A generic chart of accounts that comes with your QuickBooks software, for example, is not customized to your construction business needs; thus, transactions are often assigned to improper categories resulting in inaccurate reports. These reports, in combination with Five Key Performance Indicators, are what helps you understand which projects to pursue and which ones to ignore. Having inaccurate statements could result in bad decisions on what to bid and not bid on until you eventually run out of time and money. 4. Payroll Processing Payroll calculations are tedious, time-consuming and thanks to a variety of local, state and federal regulations, they are rather complex to compute. You have to consider everything from time cards, workers compensation, unemployment, federal withholding, social security, employee loans, child support, wage garnishments, certified payroll reports, sick pay, vacation pay, holiday pay – not to mention, filing the entire group of local and state and federal payroll tax returns. In this area alone, a Professional Contractor Bookkeeping Service is worth having because you will save time, aggravation and hopefully avoid fines, late fees, interest, and penalties. 5. Tax Filing Filing tax returns takes time and can be a misadventure for those who aren't aware of the local, state, and federal regulations. If you find yourself in an audit situation, it is in your best interest to have an accountant doing the math rather than playing the rookie apprentice. Again, you may incur financially crippling fines, penalties, and interest if you miscalculate your tax returns. Bookkeeping errors such as filing receipts as expenses could also result in your company overpaying taxes. In conclusion You work vigorously for your hard-earned money, don't let yourself (or your bookkeeper) waste it because of trying to do everything. Profitable Contractors and Construction Company owners have known about the value of outsourced bookkeeping services and contractor coaching services like ours for a long time, and now you know about it, too.

The Bounce Curl Story I am the Creator/Formulator of Bounce Curl Products and I am more than excited to share my curl secrets with you!  My main goal is to empower all individuals to achieve their own dreams.   EDUCATION & EXPERIENCEI graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree with a strong focus in Chemistry. My solid foundation and extensive experience in Chemistry were valuable tools as I began formulating the first innovative Bounce Curl products.  During those first four years of formulations with Bounce Curl, I also became a product formulator for over 5 different companies in the hair care, skincare, and body supplement industry.  But, it did not take long for me to realize that I needed to expand my Bounce Curl product line into shampoos and conditioners so that clients could be confident that their shampoo, conditioner, cleansing conditioner, and light creme gel would all work well together and give them amazing results!  So, in the fall of 2017, I was thrilled to present an entire Bounce Curl product line for men, women and youngsters with Wavy, Curly, or Kinky curls!  ON A PERSONAL NOTE I have had curly hair all my life and struggled for so many years trying to figure out how to properly style my curls. The list of products I’ve tried are endless. I became frustrated with all the unsuccessful results from the harsh products I was using, so I decided to do something about it! After spending 3-4 hours a day in chemistry class labs mixing acids, balancing acid/base equations, analyzing bacteria in microbiology, and reading IR spectrums - I helped create Bounce Curl and I have also created beauty products for other companies in this incredible industry.  My parents taught me from a young age to take great care of my hair. I have always had long, shiny and strong hair and I believe it is because I was raised to use only home-made, natural ingredients on my hair. My grandmother played an important role in developing my hair care routines and she has been my inspiration for Bounce Curl. She would mix up special formulas using only natural ingredients and she always used black seed oil.  Nigella Sativa (black seed oil) is one of the secret middle eastern oils and has been used by me and my family for many years.  My experience with natural ingredients date back to my childhood. I have fond memories of going to my backyard, scraping aloe vera out of the plant, boiling flax seeds and using them as hair gels. I love mixology and DIY (Do-It-Yourself) projects!  The Bounce Curl Tradition of Excellence At Bounce Curl, we are committed to creating products that do not use harsh chemicals. We carefully select natural ingredients that can style, moisturize and hold your beautiful curls. There are certain ingredients that the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) requires us to include in our products; preservatives are a good example of this because they work to keep the product stable and safe from growing any bacteria. FDA has strict rules and, as a responsible company, we follow the rules!  At Bounce Curl, we believe that Beauty is Shared. We realize that every individual is different and educate our customers on hair, skin & body care. We are HUGE FANS of mixology. You will want to check out our blog section where we share advice, news and product reviews. We are also committed to Serving with a Genuine and Pure Heart, exemplified by our Custom Wig Donation Program. Every month we create and donate a full custom wig with real human hair to an individual who has lost their hair to chemotherapy or any other medical condition. As a company with the heart and intention to serve, we are pleased to be able to help those going through difficult times; everyone should feel beautiful! 

When it comes to delivering a product or a service, there are 3 overarching strategies, each of which have their own pricing models. DIY (Do It Yourself), DFY (Done For You) and DWY (Done With You). Listen to the show for the rest.

Matt Blashaw, Licensed contractor, Host of HGTV’s Professional Grade and DIY Network’s Yard Crashers, Money Hunters, and Deconstruction. If you own a home, there’s almost always a DIY (Do It Yourself) project that needs done. According to a new survey of 1,000 U.S. homeowners commissioned by Coinstar, a leader in self-service coin counting, more than two-thirds of homeowners typically perform DIY projects with someone else in the household, like a family member or significant other. And among those who do a project with someone else, 65% of respondents said they had a disagreement. The survey also provided insights on budgeting, showing more than 3 in 5 respondents were motivated to take on a Do It Yourself project as a means to save money. One way to offset costs for the next DIY project is to tap into spare change you’ve accumulated at home. The value of the coins in your coin jar may surprise you.

Mark W. Schaefer Show Notes Mark W. Schaefer is a globally recognized author, speaker, podcaster, and business consultant who blogs at {grow} — one of the top five marketing blogs of the world. He teaches graduate marketing classes at Rutgers University and has written six best-selling books, including The Tao of Twitter (the best-selling book on Twitter in the world) and The Content Code, named by INC. magazine as one of the top five marketing books of the year, and his new book KNOWN: The handbook for building and unleashing your personal brand in the digital age. Mark also wrote the classic first book on influence marketing, Return On Influence. His many global clients include Pfizer, Cisco, Dell, Adidas, and the US Air Force. He has been a keynote speaker at prestigious events all over the world, including SXSW, Marketing Summit Tokyo, and the Institute for International and European Affairs. He has appeared as a guest on media channels such as CNN, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and CBS News. Most passionate about I’m a person who is always looks forward, so I’m always in the process of reinvention. I tend to be almost obsessed with the big problems in our business. When I wrote my last book, Known, it was about how creating an effective, powerful personal brand is really the only sustainable, competitive advantage we can have. I was addressing the question: Could anybody become known? The question I’m wrestling with now is that everywhere I go, marketing seems to be stuck. There are a few symptoms: People are over whelmed by technology in marketing They are over using technology in marketing They’re stuck in ineffective patterns Many of the companies today, either big or small have social media departments that were established in 2010 to 2014, and I can assure you that almost none of the outputs these teams are producing have been updated. So much has been changed with social media during the last years. The idea that I have is that marketing is too tech-centric instead of human-centric. We don’t want to talk with our customers anymore; we just want to monitor them on Twitter. We automate everything and we are loosing our hearts, our souls, and our way. Marketing is sick right now! What is marketing, according to Mark? Get out and talk to customers. The truth is out there. Marketing is finding un-met and under-served needs and creating demand to those needs in a unique way. Hopefully by establishing an emotional connection. I love working with entrepreneurs and startup communities; I love their energy. But the biggest frustration I have is that marketing is almost always overlooked. Startups and entrepreneurs are in love with an idea, or with a business model. They think that marketing is DIY (Do It Yourself), they think that they can read some blog posts and do it. But marketing is about finding and acquiring customers. If you don’t have customers, you don’t have a business. Marketing is HARD! It’s really hard. But you’ve got to address it. And if you aren’t a natural marketer or trained in marketing, you’ve got to get help! Because marketing is really the centerpiece of your business; no matter how good your idea is, no matter how much you are in love with it, if you don’t have customers you are not going to have a business! Mark’s best advice about approaching customers I asked a young marketer that wanted my advice whether he talked with the company’s customers, or joined their sales people? He was already six months in that position and never talked with a single customer! You should talk with your customers and ask them: What do you love about your business? What do you hate about your business? What keeps you awake at night? How can we serve you better? Biggest failure with a customer It wasn’t necessarily a failure with my customers; it was a failure with me. I don’t enjoy selling and

Given that Tor’s DNS resolver code does not support MX record lookups, care must be taken for setting up an MTA behind a fully Tor-ified network. OpenSMTPD was chosen because it was easy to modify to force it to fall back to A/AAAA lookups when MX lookups failed with a DNS result code of NOTIMP (4). Note that as of 08 May 2018, the OpenSMTPD project is planning a configuration file language change. The proposed change has not landed. Once it does, this article will be updated to reflect both the old language and new. The reason to use an MTA behing a fully Tor-ified network is to be able to support email behind the .onion TLD. This setup will only allow us to send and receive email to and from the .onion TLD. Requirements: A fully Tor-ified network HardenedBSD as the operating system A server (or VM) running HardenedBSD behind the fully Tor-ified network. /usr/ports is empty Or is already pre-populated with the HardenedBSD Ports tree Why use HardenedBSD? We get all the features of FreeBSD (ZFS, DTrace, bhyve, and jails) with enhanced security through exploit mitigations and system hardening. Tor has a very unique threat landscape and using a hardened ecosystem is crucial to mitigating risks and threats. Also note that this article reflects how I’ve set up my MTA. I’ve included configuration files verbatim. You will need to replace the text that refers to my .onion domain with yours. On 08 May 2018, HardenedBSD’s version of OpenSMTPD just gained support for running an MTA behind Tor. The package repositories do not yet contain the patch, so we will compile OpenSMTPD from ports.

I use it for just about anything, from homelab to large scale deployments and I’ll give out on any fancy for a pfSense setup on a decent hardware. I also love DigitalOcean, if you ever used them, you know why, if you never did, head over and try, you’ll understand why. . Unfortunately, while DO offers tremendous amount of useful distros and applications, pfSense isn’t one of them. But, where there’s a will, there’s a way, and here’s how to get pfSense up and running on DO so you can have it as the gatekeeper to your kingdom. Start by creating a FreeBSD droplet, choose your droplet size (for modest setups, I find the 5$ to be quite awesome): There are many useful things you can do with pfSense on your droplet, from OpenVPN, squid, firewalling, fancy routing, url filtering, dns black listing and much much more. One note though, before we wrap up: You have two ways to initiate the initial setup wizard of the web-configurator: Spin up another droplet, log into it and browse your way to the INTERNAL ip address of the internal NIC you’ve set up. This is the long and tedious way, but it’s also somewhat safer as it eliminates the small window of risk the second method poses. or Once your WAN address is all setup, your pfSense is ready to accept https connection to start the initial web-configurator setup. Thing is, there’s a default, well known set of credential to this initial wizard (admin:pfsense), so, there is a slight window of opportunity that someone can swoop in (assuming they know you’ve installed pfsense + your wan IP address + the exact time window between setting up the WAN interface and completing the wizard) and do . I leave it up to you which of the path you’d like to go, either way, once you’re done with the web-configurator wizard, you’ll have a shiny new pfSense installation at your disposal running on your favorite VPS. Hopefully this was helpful for someone, I hope to get a similar post soon detailing how to get FreeNAS up and running on DO. Many thanks to Tubsta and his blogpost as well as to Allan Jude, Kris Moore and Benedict Reuschling for their AWESOME and inspiring podcast, BSD Now. ##News Roundup One year of C It’s now nearly a year that I started writing non-trivial amounts of C code again (the first sokol_gfx.h commit was on the 14-Jul-2017), so I guess it’s time for a little retrospective. In the beginning it was more of an experiment: I wanted to see how much I would miss some of the more useful C++ features (for instance namespaces, function overloading, ‘simple’ template code for containers, …), and whether it is possible to write non-trivial codebases in C without going mad. Here are all the github projects I wrote in C: sokol: a slowly growing set of platform-abstraction headers sokol-samples - examples for Sokol chips - 8-bit chip emulators chips-test - tests and examples for the chip- emulators, including some complete home computer emulators (minus sound) All in all these are around 32k lines of code (not including 3rd party code like flextGL and HandmadeMath). I think I wrote more C code in the recent 10 months than any other language. So one thing seems to be clear: yes, it’s possible to write a non-trivial amount of C code that does something useful without going mad (and it’s even quite enjoyable I might add). Here’s a few things I learned: Pick the right language for a problem C is a perfect match for WebAssembly C99 is a huge improvement over C89 The dangers of pointers and explicit memory management are overrated Less Boilerplate Code Less Language Feature ‘Anxiety’ Conclusion All in all my “C experiment” is a success. For a lot of problems, picking C over C++ may be the better choice since C is a much simpler language (btw, did you notice how there are hardly any books, conferences or discussions about C despite being a fairly popular language? Apart from the neverending bickering about undefined behaviour from the compiler people of course ;) There simply isn’t much to discuss about a language that can be learned in an afternoon. I don’t like some of the old POSIX or Linux APIs as much as the next guy (e.g. ioctl(), the socket API or some of the CRT library functions), but that’s an API design problem, not a language problem. It’s possible to build friendly C APIs with a bit of care and thinking, especially when C99’s designated initialization can be used (C++ should really make sure that the full C99 language can be used from inside C++ instead of continuing to wander off into an entirely different direction). ###Configuring OpenBGPD to announce VM’s virtual networks We use BGP quite heavily at work, and even though I’m not interacting with that directly, it feels like it’s something very useful to learn at least on some basic level. The most effective and fun way of learning technology is finding some practical application, so I decided to see if it could help to improve networking management for my Virtual Machines. My setup is fairly simple: I have a host that runs bhyve VMs and I have a desktop system from where I ssh to VMs, both hosts run FreeBSD. All VMs are connected to each other through a bridge and have a common network 10.0.1/24. The point of this exercise is to be able to ssh to these VMs from desktop without adding static routes and without adding vmhost’s external interfaces to the VMs bridge. I’ve installed openbgpd on both hosts and configured it like this: vmhost: /usr/local/etc/bgpd.conf AS 65002 router-id 192.168.87.48 fib-update no network 10.0.1.1/24 neighbor 192.168.87.41 { descr "desktop" remote-as 65001 } Here, router-id is set vmhost’s IP address in my home network (192.168.87/24), fib-update no is set to forbid routing table update, which I initially set for testing, but keeping it as vmhost is not supposed to learn new routes from desktop anyway. network announces my VMs network and neighbor describes my desktop box. Now the desktop box: desktop: /usr/local/etc/bgpd.conf AS 65001 router-id 192.168.87.41 fib-update yes neighbor 192.168.87.48 { descr "vmhost" remote-as 65002 } It’s pretty similar to vmhost’s bgpd.conf, but no networks are announced here, and fib-update is set to yes because the whole point is to get VM routes added. Both hosts have to have the openbgpd service enabled: /etc/rc.conf.local openbgpdenable="YES" Conclusion As mentioned already, similar result could be achieved without using BGP by using either static routes or bridging interfaces differently, but the purpose of this exercise is to get some basic hands-on experience with BGP. Right now I’m looking into extending my setup in order to try more complex BGP schema. I’m thinking about adding some software switches in front of my VMs or maybe adding a second VM host (if budget allows). You’re welcome to comment if you have some ideas how to extend this setup for educational purposes in the context of BGP and networking. As a side note, I really like openbgpd so far. Its configuration file format is clean and simple, documentation is good, error and information messages are clear, and CLI has intuitive syntax. Digital Ocean ###The Power to Serve All people within the IT Industry should known where the slogan “The Power To Serve” is exposed every day to millions of people. But maybe too much wishful thinking from me. But without “The Power To Serve” the IT industry today will look totally different. Companies like Apple, Juniper, Cisco and even WatsApp would not exist in their current form. I provide IT architecture services to make your complex IT landscape manageable and I love to solve complex security and privacy challenges. Complex challenges where people, processes and systems are heavily interrelated. For this knowledge intensive work I often run some IT experiments. When you run experiments nowadays you have a choice: Rent some cloud based services or DIY (Do IT Yourself) on premise Running your own developments experiments on your own infrastructure can be time consuming. However smart automation saves time and money. And by creating your own CICD pipeline (Continuous Integration, Continuous Deployment) you stay on top of core infrastructure developments. Even hands-on. Knowing how things work from a technical ‘hands-on’ perspective gives great advantages when it comes to solving complex business IT problems. Making a clear distinguish between a business problem or IT problem is useless. Business and IT problems are related. Sometimes causal related, but more often indirect by one or more non linear feedback loops. Almost every business depends of IT systems. Bad IT means often that your customers will leave your business. One of the things of FeeBSD for me is still FreeBSD Jails. In 2015 I had luck to attend to a presentation of the legendary hacker Poul-Henning Kamp . Check his BSD bio to see what he has done for the FreeBSD community! FreeBSD jails are a light way to visualize your system without enormous overhead. Now that the development on Linux for LXD/LXD is more mature (lxd is the next generation system container manager on linux) there is finally again an alternative for a nice chroot Linux based system again. At least when you do not need the overhead and management complexity that comes with Kubernetes or Docker. FreeBSD means control and quality for me. When there is an open source package I need, I want to install it from source. It gives me more control and always some extra knowledge on how things work. So no precompiled binaries for me on my BSD systems! If a build on FreeBSD fails most of the time this is an alert regarding the quality for me. If a complex OSS package is not available at all in the FreeBSD ports collection there should be a reason for it. Is it really that nobody on the world wants to do this dirty maintenance work? Or is there another cause that running this software on FreeBSD is not possible…There are currently 32644 ports available on FreeBSD. So all the major programming language, databases and middleware libraries are present. The FreeBSD organization is a mature organization and since this is one of the largest OSS projects worldwide learning how this community manages to keep innovation and creates and maintains software is a good entrance for learning how complex IT systems function. FreeBSD is of course BSD licensed. It worked well! There is still a strong community with lots of strong commercial sponsors around the community. Of course: sometimes a GPL license makes more sense. So beside FreeBSD I also love GPL software and the rationale and principles behind it. So my hope is that maybe within the next 25 years the hard battle between BSD vs GPL churches will be more rationalized and normalized. Principles are good, but as all good IT architects know: With good principles alone you never make a good system. So use requirements and not only principles to figure out what OSS license fits your project. There is never one size fits all. June 19, 1993 was the day the official name for FreeBSD was agreed upon. So this blog is written to celebrate 25th anniversary of FreeBSD. ###Dave’s BSDCan trip report So far, only one person has bothered to send in a BSDCan trip report. Our warmest thanks to Dave for doing his part. Hello guys! During the last show, you asked for a trip report regarding BSDCan 2018. This was my first time attending BSDCan. However, BSDCan was my second BSD conference overall, my first being vBSDCon 2017 in Reston, VA. Arriving early Thursday evening and after checking into the hotel, I headed straight to the Red Lion for the registration, picked up my badge and swag and then headed towards the ‘DMS’ building for the newbies talk. The only thing is, I couldn’t find the DMS building! Fortunately I found a BSDCan veteran who was heading there themselves. My only suggestion is to include the full building name and address on the BSDCan web site, or even a link to Google maps to help out with the navigation. The on-campus street maps didn’t have ‘DMS’ written on them anywhere. But I digress. Once I made it to the newbies talk hosted by Dan Langille and Michael W Lucas, it highlighted places to meet, an overview of what is happening, details about the ‘BSDCan widow/widower tours’ and most importantly, the 6-2-1 rule! The following morning, we were present with tea/coffee, muffins and other goodies to help prepare us for the day ahead. The first talk, “The Tragedy of systemd” covered what systemd did wrong and how the BSD community could improve on the ideas behind it. With the exception of Michael W Lucas, SSH Key Management and Kirk McKusick, The Evolution of FreeBSD Governance talk, I pretty much attended all of the ZFS talks including the lunchtime BoF session, hosted by Allan Jude. Coming from FreeNAS and being involved in the community, this is where my main interest and motivation lies. Since then I have been able to share some of that information with the FreeNAS community forums and chatroom. I also attended the “Speculating about Intel” lunchtime BoF session hosted by Theo de Raddt, which proved to be “interesting”. The talks ended with the wrap up session with a few words from Dan, covering the record attendance and made very clear there “was no cabal”. Followed by the the handing over of Groff the BSD goat to a new owner, thank you’s from the FreeBSD Foundation to various community committers and maintainers, finally ending with the charity auction, where a things like a Canadian $20 bill sold for $40, a signed FreeBSD Foundation shirt originally worn by George Neville-Neil, a lost laptop charger, Michael’s used gelato spoon, various books, the last cookie and more importantly, the second to last cookie! After the auction, we all headed to the Red Lion for food and drinks, sponsored by iXsystems. I would like to thank the BSDCan organizers, speakers and sponsors for a great conference. I will certainly hope to attend next year!

Hoy tenemos el placer de contar con César García (@elsatch ) como invitado. Un referente de la Cultura Maker y el IoT en España. Es el creador del podcast La Hora Maker y es un verdadero placer haberle entrevistado.Gracias a su dedicación divulgativa, hemos podido comprender ciertos aspectos de la Cultura Maker como los FabLabs y Maker Faire. Cofundador del MakeSpace Madrid y Profesor del Programa de Innovación en la Economía Digital (PSIED), tiene un amplio historial a sus espaldas relacionado con el Mundo Maker y el IoT.Pero, ¿qué es la Cultura Maker?La Cultura Maker o el Movimiento Maker, se basa en lo más primitivo de la esencia humana. Hacer las cosas por nosotros mismos. Es algo, que con el tiempo se ha ido diluyendo a lo largo de la historia.Cada vez disponemos de menos tiempo para crear cosas y hacerlas por nosotros mismos. Pero siempre tenemos ese gusanillo dentro y esa sensación de satisfacción, cuando uno hace las cosas por si mismo.Antiguamente nuestros abuelos hacían prácticamente de todo, jabón, mermeladas, comidas ricas ricas e incluso cultivaban su propia comida. Todo esto poco a poco se ha ido perdiendo en favor de las cosas ya echas.Cada vez hay más comida preparada y productos químicos. Todos los hogares está repletos de ellos. La Cultura Maker, no solo se centra en la tecnología, es un movimiento que pretende rescatar la esencia humana, la esencia del hazlo tu mismo.Precisamente el significado DIY (Do It Yourself, Hágalo usted mismo) es ese, intentar en la medida de lo posible, ser autosuficientes.Cultura Maker y tecnologíaQuizás el mayor exponente de la Cultura Maker dentro de la tecnología sea Arduino, algo de lo que hablamos mucho en este blog. También con circuitos, programación y electrónica podemos crear tecnología nosotros mismos.Gracias al open hardware y el open software, somos capaces de crear tecnología y no ser unos meros consumidores.La Cultura Maker y la tecnología, son dos términos que se gustan y dan rienda suelta a nuestras ideas y proyectos. Un ejemplo lo podemos ver con los dispositivos del IoT o Internet of Things. También hablamos mucho de esto en este blog.César nos da su visión. Nos introduce en el concepto de programación ubicua. Un término que se utiliza desde hace mucho tiempo dentro de la Cultura Maker y que actualmente está en desuso. En Xeros Parc estuvieron investigando qué ocurre cuando la computación no es una pantalla o un teclado y es el entorno que nos rodea.Para César, el IoT es un rebranding, algo que se lleva estudiando muchos años en el MIT, desde que Kevin Ashton introdujo este término en la primera década de este siglo. Coincide conmigo que el hito que se produjo en el año 2008, cuando los dispositivos conectados superaron a la población mundial, fue importante.Todavía queda mucho por hacer y, como hablamos en el podcast, solo cuando el IoT afecte a las personas de la calle como tu y yo, será una realidad. Es igual que lo que se produjo con los ordenadores personales, los teléfonos inteligentes y muchas tecnologías que a día de hoy nos parecen comunes, pero que hace unos años eran de ciencia a ficción.El Movimiento Maker y el IoTSin duda alguna, si hay algún movimiento que puede impulsar el IoT, ese será la Cultura Maker. Gracias al abaratamiento de la tecnología y, lo más importante, la eliminación de barreras, la tecnología ya no avanza de la mano de las grandes empresas.Ahora avanza de la mano de la gente cotidiana, de la gente de la calle. Nos reunimos en espacios como FabLabs o Makespace. Compartimos y nos complementamos entre nosotros e incluso tenemos plataformas de colaboración comunitaria a través del crowdfunding.Además de Arduino, existen otros ejemplos donde podemos ver que el IoT será una realidad y algo cotidiano en nuestro día a día. Poder incorporar un procesador a prácticamente cualquier cosa y no solo eso. Hace unos años, añadir conectividad a un objeto era caro. Hoy en día, gracias al ESP8266, podemos hacerlo por menos de 3€.Lo mismo que está ocurriendo con la Computación Física en la Cultura Maker, está ocurriendo con el IoT dentro del movimiento. La eliminación de barreras de acceso ha convertido a esta placa microcontroladora en el máximo exponente en este área.César nos habla de un portal donde podemos ver dispositivos y objetos conectados en tiempo real, Thingful. Se trata de un motor de búsqueda para el IoT.Es el IoT una tecnología del futuroCuando realmente seamos capaces de ver el IoT en nuestro día a día, será cuando las iniciativas de Smart Cities (Ciudades Inteligentes) sean una realidad. Mezclar datos obtenidos de nuestras ciudades, ya sean abiertos o cerrados, y que se integren con automatizaciones, es el gran reto del futuro.Disponer de cruces de semáforos inteligentes, sistema de riego automáticos o gestión de alumbrado público automatizado. Estos son solo algunos retos del futuro para el IoT y para la Cultura Maker. Uno de los congresos más importantes a nivel mundial se celebra en Barcelona, el Smart City Congres. Es un referente y pretende mostrar los avances tecnológicos en esta materia.Pero todo esto sigue una trayectoria progresiva. En contra de las previsiones, los usuarios están paulatinamente renovando sus electrodomésticos por otros que ya disponen de conectividad. Comenzamos con las televisiones inteligentes y, poco a poco, los demás electrodomésticos empiezan a integrar estas funcionalidades.Existen cuatro retos a los que nos tenemos que enfrentar la Cultura Maker, para instaurar la era del IoT dentro de nuestras vidas.#1. PrivacidadSi hay algo que define plenamente el IoT, son los datos. ¿Qué pasa con esos datos? Tenemos derecho a saber si son tratados o no por empresas de terceros y que uso hacen de ellos.#2. SeguridadAnte todo, seguridad. Ya no solo estamos hablando de acceder de forma fraudulenta a los datos. Ahora ponemos en peligro la integridad de nuestros hogares. Cerraduras automáticas, persianas motorizadas y controladas desde el móvil, cámaras de seguridad, etc...#3. PrecioYa hemos visto que el precio de los componentes y de los procesadores se abarata. En contra de lo que podamos pensar, un objeto con el adjetivo conectado o inteligente, puede duplicar y hasta triplicar su precio.#4. La parte socialMuchas veces pensamos que la tecnología es la solución cuando realmente es parte del problema. Todo depende de según se emplee. Google Glass es un claro exponente. Aunque tuviera varios problemas tecnológicos, el gran problema era social. Ver a alguien que te mira a la cara con unas gafas de este tipo, es un poco raro.

Curious about self publishing? Even more curious if you can make money with it? In this episode, Dr. Heidi Thorne, MBA/DBA, discusses the four basic income streams from self publishing, and the risks and rewards for each, including: royalties, DIY (Do It Yourself), BOR (Back Of Room sales for speakers) and repackaging.

En esta nueva expedición creativa, exploramos el movimiento Hazlo tú mismo (DIY- Do It Yourself). Una nueva forma de conciencia social que se ha convertido en una salida alternativa a la crisis económica mundial. A su vez, exploramos el mundo musical de artistas emergentes de la música independiente y conversamos con la experta en productos DIY Irene Abreu, co – fundadora de Tantras Urbanos.com y autora del E- Book: 21 Rituales para Empoderarte. quien nos enseña cómo podemos desarrollar nuestro poder creativo.

Most musicians now know Ari Herstand (pronounced Ar*ee Her*stand) as the guy who helped them fly with their instruments. His Carry Your Instrument On The Plane... It's The LAW blog post went viral and has been viewed over 300,000 times with over 40,000 Facebook Likes. In just under three years, Herstand's music business advice blog, Ari's Take, has been nominated by the LA Weekly as the best music blog in Los Angeles and has become a go to resource for DIY (Do It Yourself) musicians. Herstand started the blog to help musicians from his own experiences managing his music career. "Before the blog, I was getting so many questions from other DIY musicians on how to get their bands off the ground. It got to a point where I just didn't have time to respond to everyone anymore, so I started Ari's Take and just started pointing people there," he explains. Herstand has played over 600 shows, toured with the Milk Carton Kids and Ron Pope, opened for Ben Folds, Cake, Matt Nathanson, Joshua Radin and Eric Hutchinson, and performed with Thirty Seconds To Mars on the Ellen Degeneres Show. He's had countless songs placed on TV shows and charted in the top ten on iTunes - all as a DIY musician. As an actor, he has co-starred in TV shows like Mad Men, 2 Broke Girls, The Fosters, Sam & Cat and Touch. Best known for his live looping shows, Herstand records and layers the acoustic guitar, keys, beat boxing, trumpet and vocals for a full sonic live experience. twitter.com/ariherstand instagram.com/ariherstand Snapchat: @ariherstand basically everything online is under Ari Herstand, except the blog which is Ari's Take: aristake.com
