In today's episode, Dave and I discuss why there are so many sellers on Amazon losing money on each product? Because the lower prices do not make any sense at all.    Today's topic is something that I've been thinking about for awhile: how many people are losing money selling on Amazon?    You're probably thinking that this question sounds ridiculous, but if you think about the increasing amount of competition and the higher platform fees, there does seem to be some basis for the question.    Which begs the question: how many people are losing money selling on Amazon? Are they selling old inventory that isn't profitable anymore? Is the competition everywhere at this point?    I thought this would be a topic that my partner Dave could chime in on from his perspective as a Canadian Seller, and also as someone who frequently visits China.    Timestamps:  Intro - 0:00  Catching up with Dave - 0:30  How Many People are Losing Money Selling on Amazon? - 1:55 The Types of Sellers Losing Money & Competition on Amazon - 3:57 Sacrificing Margins for Brand Equity - 6:04  Fishy Practices to Avoid Paying Duties - 8:00  The Chinese Government is Providing Subsidies for Exporters?? - 8:51 The Numbers Don't Make Sense - 11:02  Every Seller Has an Unprofitable SKU - 16:26 The Problem with Product Research Tools - 19:53 Bad Business People - 20:52  What Amazon's Q4 Earnings Report Tells Us - 23:09  Legacy Sellers Who've Suffered Through Events - 26:01 Shortened Product Life Cycles - 30:47  What should happen to old products? - 32:27 Prices are 20% lower than they should be - 33:37    If any listeners would like to have a discussion about this, let me know by emailing us directly at support@ecomcrew.com.    Also, if you have any questions or any topics you'd like us to discuss on the podcast, you can email us directly as well!   Also, we would really appreciate it if you would leave us a review on iTunes.    Thanks for listening!  

EPISODE 100 | Conspirasphere Rising - A Talk w/Derek Arnold Guest: Derek Arnold, Senior Instructor at Villanova University, where he teaches a course on The Rhetoric of Conspiracy Theories The modern conspirasphere sort of starts with the assassination of JFK, and events in the two decades that follow help shape a growing trend toward conspiracy thinking in the United States. Mr. Arnold teaches his students all about this, and also offers guidance in how to construct a toolkit for analyzing conspiracy theories that they can take with them out into the world.

i haven’t been making it to shows so much recently. i regularly check the listings and add the ones i’m interested in to my calendar and then inevitably remove them. part of the reason has been the cold and rain, the distance to sac, but i think a lot of it is that i’m having a nice time just hanging out with friends. back in santa barbara the friend group was always pretty centered around music, among other activities obv, but shows were paramount. you knew you could show up and everyone would be there. it was the place to be.the group i’ve landed in in davis has not been focused on shows, though we do play music together and there’s always music playing on a speaker somewhere, it’s just different. and while they’ll check out a show with me once in a while, i’ve been going to most shows by myself. i was doing it for three years when i wasn’t living with friends, but now that i’m living with people i like, it’s even harder to leave the house, or leave the group, to do something else. but in any relationship - friend, romantic, otherwise - it feels so important to not stop doing the things you love doing just because you found some new things you like to do. obvious statement of the week but i’m going to keep saying it to myself.hunkering down with the group was essential to my survival through that atmospheric river. but shows are going to be essential to my thriving through the atmospheric river of life, of whatever, lol. and i know that i’ll never be able to be in two places at once, and that friends will hang out without me and i’ll miss out on some things sometimes. it’s so easy to get lost in what i’m missing out on that i don’t get to fully experiencing the thing that i’m doing. a thing that i love doing - a major through-line for me - going to shows. working on releases myself from that fomo mentality!.DOWNLOAD/STREAM RECORDING00:00 (intro by omar)00:20 Nervous Twitch “Should’ve Come By” Get Back In Line02:26 Surface to Air Missive “Phases” Surface II Air Missive05:44 WOLF GIRL “Middlesexy” We Tried08:38 Program “Program” Show Me11:41 No Vacation “Out of Place” Phasing14:59 Docks “Roses” Terracotta Ladder18:16 Corridor “Junior” Junior21:13 Black Pus “LAND OF THE LOST” ALL ABOARD THE MAGIC PUS24:26 Basement Revolver “Romantic At Heart” Wax and Digital EP27:22 Hovvdy “Cathedral” Heavy Lifter30:27 Beret “How Many People” Jesus White33:01 Blacker Face “I Know More Things Than You Do” Distinctive Juju27:53 Guerilla Toss “Moth Like Me” What Would The Odd Do?40:55 Foxes in Fiction “Antibody” Trillium Killer44:11 HXXS “Year Of The Knife” Year Of The Witch46:37 Emma Russack & Lachlan Denton “Love For Myself” Take The Reigns49:01 The Kiwi Animal “Flesh And Time” Mercy51:00 Shelf Life “Avril” Everyone Make Happy53:04 Barrie “Drag” Happy To Be Here (Ext)55:13 Lubec “Against Nature” Against Nature

Episode 103: Caring for LGBTQ+ Patients. Salwa, Pat, and Dr. Arreaza explain how to care for patients who identify themselves as LGBTQ+. Answered questions include, what screenings are needed? Any special needs? Introduction: LGBTQ+ Information.  By Hector Arreaza, MD. Recently the media has been flooded with information about LGBTQ+. If you wonder what LGBTQ+ means, it means lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning, and the “+” sign acknowledges other orientations such as asexual, intersex, and more. June was designated as “pride month”. I think we have received more information within the last year than in the previous century. Many people consider this an overrepresentation of the calculated 3.5% to 8% of the population who identify themselves as LGBTQ+, many others consider this a revolution to promote equality in our society by reaffirming gay rights, while others consider this a part of an agenda to destroy the “American way of living” or even the US Armed Forces. You can come to your own conclusion about the origin and validity of this movement, but as medical providers, especially as family medicine providers, we must be prepared to care for any patient we encounter, including members of the LGBTQ+ community, and treat them with the same respect and compassion as any other patient. This episode was done to increase your awareness of this topic and motivate you to keep learning about it. By the way, there are now specific fellowships you can take to become more specialized on this topic, and you can find more information on the American Medical Association website.[3] This is the Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California.

Comments by Hector Arreaza, MD. Salwa: So, I was browsing the internet as we all do these days and I came across a short film, The Clinic, by a Canada-based organization, the Get REAL movement. Have you heard about this Dr. Arreaza? Arreaza: No, I haven't, but this sounds interesting. What was the film about? Salwa: Essentially, it's about LGBTQ+ patients and how healthcare is not inclusive. The film shows two patients with the same concern, one of which is from the LGBTQ+ community. It goes on to show how they are treated differently by the physician. Arreaza: That's not how it should be. Unfortunately, healthcare disparity is very real, especially in minority groups like the LGBTQ+. One study found that 3.5% of Americans identify as lesbian, gay, or bisexual and 0.3% identify as transgender. They also found that these individuals are more likely to get poor care because of stigma and lack of awareness. Salwa: Exactly! And since June is PRIDE month, I thought this would be a great topic! Especially because we as students or healthcare providers don't learn too much about this in school or training. Arreaza: I think that's a great idea. I've heard a lot about PRIDE celebrations and the memorials that are held. How about we start with what exactly is PRIDE?Pat: PRIDE is a celebration, a movement. It's celebrated to commemorate the 1969 Stonewall Riots or Uprising. The riots began after the police raided a gay club in New York City leading to almost a week of violent clashes. This event marked the beginning of the gay rights movement as we know it today. Arreaza: And today PRIDE is celebrated with parades and many hold memorials for members of the community who were victims of hate crimes. By the way, you can listen to our episode 14, “Gender Diversity”, to learn about the definitions of gender, sexual orientation, and more.Pat: As you said earlier, LGBTQ+ individuals are part of a minority group and face discrimination. Arreaza: Let's talk about the health care gaps the “community” faces. Tell us more. Salwa: Yes absolutely! Let's get into it! Did you know that LGBTQ+ youth are at a higher risk for substance abuse, STDs, cancers, cardiovascular disease, obesity, bullying, isolation, rejection, anxiety, depression, and suicide in comparison to the general population? Arreaza: The AAFP says suicide rates are 4 times higher among LGBTQ+ and even higher among trans youth compared to heterosexual youths. Also, members of the community, specifically men who have sex with men, are at a much higher risk of being affected by HIV/AIDS.Pat: In fact, family physicians, and all primary care providers, are key to providing care for the LGBTQ+ community and the special needs of the community including gender-affirming care. Arreaza: So, what should primary care providers do?Salwa: That's a great question! First, let's go back to the basics. Bedside manners are key. Being open and welcoming will open the door for you to find relevant health information. Having open conversations and being empathetic and mindful will help you build that patient-doctor relationship you want to have with your patients. I'll share a story from when I was rotating in surgery. I had a transgender patient in the clinic, male to female. That's what is called a transgender woman. When I was reviewing the chart, I couldn't tell what pronouns the patient used. The first thing I did when I got into the room was to ask, “What pronouns would you like me to use?”. Even though she was wearing a mask I could tell that her face lit up just by looking at her eyes, and she said, “Thank you, that was very kind of you to ask.” Small things like this can really make a difference. Arreaza: And that's becoming a routine question when our medical assistants encounter a patient for the first time. Their preferred pronoun is listed next to the patient's name. What about the other health issues for LGBTQ+ patients? What should we do for that?Salwa: For the other concerns – depression, anxiety, suicide, and more – follow the current guidelines for cisgender patients (cisgender patients are those who identify themselves with their gender assigned at birth). The AAFP and USPSTF have screening guidelines in place that can be utilized to help determine what someone may need further management for. Pat: The PHQ9 – a screening questionnaire for depression – will help you determine if you need to start treatment for depression or refer to behavioral health. There's a similar questionnaire for anxiety – the GAD 7. Salwa: When I was doing my psychiatry rotation, I had a transgender male patient who didn't have a support system. His family had essentially rejected him, and he was so isolated that he became depressed and suicidal. So, I'd say ask your patients about bullying, their support system, ask them about their friends. Maybe even talk to their parents if the patient is a minor, if they consent you to do so, or refer to family therapy. Pat: And of course, there is STD testing, HPV vaccination, obesity and related comorbidity screening, PAP smears for anyone with a cervix, maybe even consider an anal PAP smear when appropriate.Arreaza: Beverly Hills rotation: A gynecologist for men.People at increased risk of anal cancer:-Men who have sex with men-Iatrogenic immunosuppression (e.g., solid organ transplant recipients, long-term oral corticosteroids)-Women with a history of cervical, vulvar, or vaginal SIL (also termed intraepithelial neoplasia) or cancer-Women with a history of cervical HPV 16 infection-Individuals with a history of anogenital wartsPat: Depression is important to detect on time given the higher rate of suicide in this population, aside from following current guidelines, are there any unique health-related questions we should ask our LGBTQ+ patients? I hope you guys said yes! two common health topics are gender-affirming care and complications related to chest binding. Dr. Arreaza, have you had any patient encounters for gender-affirming care?Arreaza: Yes actually. I've had a few patients who requested gender-affirming care. It requires a multi-disciplinary care team. You must consider hormone replacement, mental health, and surgeries. At the primary care level, you are there as the patient's support system to help them navigate through everything and provide them with all the information. Hormone replacement is generally done by an endocrinologist or by a primary care provider who has been trained to do it. Of course, when appropriate, we will refer the patients to surgeons for certain procedures. Salwa: Exactly! Individuals who, from my understanding, are transgender or non-binary, as in they identify as males but tend to have female sexual characteristics such as breasts, may do something called chest binding. It involves compressing the breast tissue with a wrap to have a more masculine gender expression. Usually, individuals will use commercial binders, elastic bandages, duct tape, or plastic wrap. When you have a patient who practices chest binding, it's important to address safe practices. They commonly develop dermatological conditions like acne, scarring, fungal infections. But they can also develop other complications like chronic pain, restrictive respiration, rib fractures, syncope, lightheadedness, and heartburn. Pat: A study showed that 88.9% of participants experienced a negative side effect of binding, but only 15% sought care. Cleveland Clinic suggests that individuals use a commercial, breathable binder or a sports bra. It's also important to stay hydrated, have at least one day a week when a binder is not used, and avoid using a binder while sleeping. Most importantly, if you experienced any side effects, to get help from a doctor. Arreaza: Asylum seekers due to sexual orientation is possible. People in different parts of the world suffer persecution due to their sexual orientation. LGBTQ+ individuals are target for “killings, sexual and gender-based violence, physical attacks, torture, arbitrary detention, accusations of immoral or aberrant behavior, denial of the rights to assembly, expression and information, and discrimination in employment, health, and education in all regions around the world.Pat: So, I think we covered most of it. Do you two think we mentioned the important parts? Salwa: On that note, we want to end this podcast with a small message to LGBTQ+ individualslistening in. We want you to know that you are not alone and that you matter.And if you're listening right now and know someone who is LGBTQ+, check in on them and letthem know how much they mean to you. Pat: We encourage you to go to your PCP and talk to them about your concerns and how you're doing. And we encourage all PCPs, all healthcare providers even, to implement these principles when encountering their LGBTQ+ patients. Arreaza: If you do not feel comfortable caring for LGBTQ+ patients, you can refer them to a provider with the knowledge and skills to care for them. Available Resources:The Center for Sexuality and Gender Diversity in Kern CountyPFLAG Bakersfield ChapterBakersfield LGBTQ+The Trevor Project (have crisis counselors available to help)National Suicide Hotline (1-800-273-8255)National LGBTQ TaskforceSAGE - Services and Advocacy for LGBTQ+ EldersTransgender Law Center ____________________________Conclusion: Now we conclude our episode number 103 “Caring for LGBTQ+ Patients.” Remember to screen your patients for conditions related to their gender assigned at birth but take into consideration the effects of hormones in those who have changed their gender. While caring for LGBTQ+ patients, remember to apply the same ethical principles you apply to the rest of your patients: beneficence, non-maleficence, autonomy, and justice. Even without trying, every night you go to bed being a little wiser.This week we thank Hector Arreaza, Salwa Sadiq-Ali, and Pat Perera.Thanks for listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast.

Woody is doing the podcast so if something is screwed up...blame him. Wilcox has what is going on in the world and how YOU can take the day off. It Happened In Florida Game There is an old show that had some serious controversy that is coming back to TV We discuss some of the weird stuff that happened on that old reality TV show, the things they did, and HOW MANY PEOPLE watched the final episode Woody has some of the stranger items that are for sale on the internet, and we try to guess how much they're asking...It is Craigslist Price Is Right What happens when you donate your body to "science". it might now be what you think, as a family has learned this lesson the hard way. We get lots of your calls and thoughts on the family who had a member pass away, but then their body was used for a "public" autopsy. We get lots of e-mails about things to do and talk about on the show, but Chelsea just received one of the best ones, and we need to talk about it The plants thing continues!! What did we learn today?

Time Stamps:1. 0:17 {Can Megachurches be Effective?} From a biblical and practical standpoint, is there a maximum number of people that can or should make up a local church? Assuming their doctrine is biblical, can a megachurch with multiple satellite sites or campuses be an effective church?2. 13:52 {Was Mary Surprised about Jesus’ Deity?} If Mary was aware of the immaculate conception (visited by an angel, etc.), why in Mark 3: 21 does it seem she’s surprised about Jesus being the Messiah? Scripture says His "family" that goes to "take charge of Him" for being out of His mind are His mother & brothers. Why would Mary think He is out of His mind if she had been visited by an angel?3. 19:40 {About the Apostles’ Martyrdom} A big defense for Christianity is that the Apostles died & were tortured, never recanting Jesus. How are the Heavens Gate & Jonestown 1978 incidents any different? They all willingly died for a lie, too.4. 24:33 {Who are the Called & Chosen in Matt.?} Who are the called & chosen ones in Matthew 22: 14? Is it God who does both the calling & the choosing?5. 30:32 {Does Jesus Mean “Hail Zeus”?} What do you say to people who claim that the name Jesus really means “hail Zeus”? They say one is unknowingly doing witchcraft by using the name Jesus. Why didn’t His name just continue as Yeshua?6. 35:17 {Is John 15 Works-Based?} Is John 15 works-based? v.10 says, “IF you keep my commandments, THEN you will abide in my love.” That sounds like obedience earns God's love, contrary to the Gospel. What does a life of "abiding" look like daily?7. 42:25 {Ways to Grow in Christ} I've recently found a renewed desire to get closer with God and was just wondering if you have any advice about how to do so.8. 44:05 {Did God Ordain Animal Sacrifices?} Does Jeremiah 7: 22 & Matthew 9: 13 indicate God never ordained animal sacrifices? To me it seems God has gradually moved mankind away from sacrifices & idol worship and into His ideal form of religion.9. 54:05 {About Angels} I know that we are made in the image and likeness of God and are called God’s children, but what are angels to God? Are they made in the image and likeness of God? Are they God’s children?10. 57:22 {Is there a Contradiction?} In Matthew 2: 19-22, was Joseph’s second dream (vs. 22) from God? God says all who mean to kill you are dead, but God warns him again. Some translations of vs. 22 leave out “God.” Is this a contradiction?11. 1:00:40 {How Many People are in Heaven?} It's estimated that 60% of natural conceptions fail to implant in the uterus and that at least 50 billion people lived until now. Does that mean there are around 75 billion people in Heaven?12. 1:05:32 {How to Recognize the Spirit vs. Enemy} How do we know when we feel the Holy Spirit that it isn't a trick from Satan making us think that it’s God?

Time Stamps:1. 0:17 {Can Megachurches be Effective?} From a biblical and practical standpoint, is there a maximum number of people that can or should make up a local church? Assuming their doctrine is biblical, can a megachurch with multiple satellite sites or campuses be an effective church?2. 13:52 {Was Mary Surprised about Jesus’ Deity?} If Mary was aware of the immaculate conception (visited by an angel, etc.), why in Mark 3: 21 does it seem she’s surprised about Jesus being the Messiah? Scripture says His "family" that goes to "take charge of Him" for being out of His mind are His mother & brothers. Why would Mary think He is out of His mind if she had been visited by an angel?3. 19:40 {About the Apostles’ Martyrdom} A big defense for Christianity is that the Apostles died & were tortured, never recanting Jesus. How are the Heavens Gate & Jonestown 1978 incidents any different? They all willingly died for a lie, too.4. 24:33 {Who are the Called & Chosen in Matt.?} Who are the called & chosen ones in Matthew 22: 14? Is it God who does both the calling & the choosing?5. 30:32 {Does Jesus Mean “Hail Zeus”?} What do you say to people who claim that the name Jesus really means “hail Zeus”? They say one is unknowingly doing witchcraft by using the name Jesus. Why didn’t His name just continue as Yeshua?6. 35:17 {Is John 15 Works-Based?} Is John 15 works-based? v.10 says, “IF you keep my commandments, THEN you will abide in my love.” That sounds like obedience earns God's love, contrary to the Gospel.

When Scripture is Weaponized to Dehumanize In this episode, Rev Karla begins deconstructing the toxic theology behind the insult of calling others an abomination for not believing in the same things or living the same way they do. Scripture has been mistranslated and taken out of context in an attempt to justify the condemnation of the LGBTQIA+ community.

My guest is Jim Fleckenstein. He is a coach and educator on sexuality. He is also a researcher who focuses predominantly on non-exclusive relationships and how they affect the individuals involved. He is an expert in consensual non-monogamy and a wellspring of knowledge and insight, which he graciously shares in this episode. Jim shares stats and information on consensual non-monogamy, how those who practice it are reporting an overwhelming amount of satisfaction and happiness, how emotional needs have a lot to do with those who are drawn towards it, and how these relationship structures are actually much more common than you may have realized. This is just the tip of the iceberg of this discussion though. Listen along and learn a lot about this interesting topic! The Three Main Divisions of Consensual Non-Monogamy To start the interview, Jim breaks down consensual non-monogamy into polyamory, swinging, and open relationships. Polyamory is separate from the others because there is a chance for a deep emotional connection to be reinforced. While the others are more reserved for sexual acts, polyamory is can delve into the emotional as well as the sexual components of a relationship. Jim says that swinging is probably the oldest of the trio. And for those who don't know, it's a couple-centric act where couples work hard to establish an emotional wall to prevent emotional developments. They also don't have sex independently of one another. And in open relationships, partners are free to seek sexual liaisons outside of the primary relationship. Emotional connection is not established, and unlike swingers, they don't participate in sexual acts together but do their own thing instead. Jim says much more within the episode. Listen along! The Reasons Why Certain People Prefer Consensual Non-Monogamy For the reasons why people go the non-monogamous route, Jim says it has a lot to do with the emotional needs of the person. He says the question of “what is it that I am trying to attain here?” is a great question to ask to evaluate your emotional needs. Your needs will determine which version of consensual non-monogamy that you gravitate towards and want to eventually practice–if you do end up deciding that your emotional needs warrant the lifestyle, of course. Jim also talks about the boundaries that are established and how respecting those boundaries is important for the healthy functioning of any consensual non-monogamous relationship. Tune in! How Many People are Practicing? Jim says that it's difficult to have an accurate number or statistic for those who practice non-monogamous relationships. This is due to the fact that individuals can lose their jobs and their kids because of it, and in addition, it is still highly stigmatized in our country. This leads to a lot of people practicing in clandestine ways. So, because of these factors, it's hard to trust the surveys and numbers out there. But according to the stats, Jim says that somewhere between 2-7% of all relationships are practiced through one of the three divisions of consensual non-monogamy. The Importance of Education Jim shares a lot of important information on how people learn about polyamory or swinging by attending educational events where people discuss consensual non-monogamy in a non-sexual environment. Often the trepidations that occur can be alleviated through more understanding. And as is brought up during the episode, some of the concerns of being pressured by a partner into swinging or an open relationship can be addressed once more information is processed. He also makes it clear this needs to be a mutual decision. Who knows, maybe all it takes is a couple of events and you will comfortable enough with shifting your relationship dynamic! Maybe it will confirm your anxiety. Becoming educated is key! It destigmatizes and demystifies. Go-To Resources for Jim He says that his favorite go-to book is Opening Up by Tristan Taormino, for those who are curious about learning about or trying this relationship dynamic. It is a very comprehensive resource. The Ethical Slut is a good book as well, in addition to Designer Relationships. And for those who may have experienced infidelity, Tammy Nelson has a good book called The New Monogamy for handling the subject.

But according to the stats, Jim says that somewhere between 2-7% of all relationships are practiced through one of the three divisions of consensual non-monogamy.The Importance of EducationJim shares a lot of important information on how people learn about polyamory or swinging by attending educational events where people discuss consensual non-monogamy in a non-sexual environment.Often the trepidations that occur can be alleviated through more understanding. And as is brought up during the episode, some of the concerns of being pressured by a partner into swinging or an open relationship can be addressed once more information is processed. He also makes it clear this needs to be a mutual decision.Who knows, maybe all it takes is a couple of events and you will comfortable enough with shifting your relationship dynamic! Maybe it will confirm your anxiety. Becoming educated is key! It destigmatizes and demystifies.Go-To Resources for JimHe says that his favorite go-to book is Opening Up by Tristan Taormino, for those who are curious about learning about or trying this relationship dynamic. It is a very comprehensive resource. The Ethical Slut is a good book as well, in addition to Designer Relationships.And for those who may have experienced infidelity, Tammy Nelson has a good book called The New Monogamy for handling the subject.Key (Affiliate) Links for Jim: Books he recommends:Opening Up : https://amzn.to/2WWhgZODesigner Relationships : https://amzn.to/2Jk3k7pThe Ethical Slut :https://amzn.to/2th3tzfThe New Monogamy : https://amzn.to/2Dy0YxlJim’s website: https://www.affirmativeintimacy.com/More info:Book and New Course – https://sexwithoutstress.comWeb – https://www.bettersexpodcast.com/Sex Health Quiz – http://sexhealthquiz.com/If you’re enjoying the podcast and want to be a part of making sure it continues in the future, consider being a patron.
