¿Cansado de que tu monitor de uptime consuma más recursos que los propios servicios que monitoriza? Llevaba años usando Uptime Kuma, una herramienta fantástica, potente y muy fácil de configurar. Pero cuando miras el docker stats y ves 150 MB de RAM, 900 MB de disco y un 2% de CPU para monitorizar solo seis páginas, algo no cuadra. Sobre todo cuando lo único que quieres es que te llegue una notificación si algo falla, no tener un mini-Netflix corriendo en tu servidor.Por eso creé Watchbit: un monitor de uptime escrito en Rust con frontend en React, base de datos SQLite embebida y autenticación OIDC con Pocket ID. El resultado: 7 MB de RAM, 20 MB de disco y 0,2% de CPU. Sí, has leído bien. Estamos hablando de reducir el consumo de memoria a una vigésima parte, el de disco a una cuadragésima parte y el de CPU a una décima parte. Y todo esto sin perder funcionalidad: monitores HTTP, TCP, Ping, heartbeats, notificadores vía Telegram, Matrix, NTFY, Gotify, Discord, Email, y páginas de estado públicas.En este episodio te cuento cómo migré de Uptime Kuma a Watchbit, te enseño el dashboard por tarjetas, los heartbeats, los monitores, los notificadores y las 7 razones por las que no pienso volver atrás. También te explico el stack técnico: Rust con Axum y Tokio en el backend, React con TypeScript en el frontend, SQLite como base de datos embebida (adiós a PostgreSQL y MariaDB), y OIDC con Pocket ID para olvidarte de gestionar usuarios y contraseñas. Todo en un solo binario, sin dependencias externas, con una imagen Docker que apenas ocupa 20 MB.Además te muestro cómo configurar los monitores con intervalos personalizados, las plantillas de notificación para eventos de down, up, latencia y expiración de certificados, y el sistema de backup integrado que te permite exportar e importar toda la configuración en un solo clic. También te cuento el proceso de optimización que seguí: inicialmente hacía un bucle que recorría todos los monitores, pero después los separé en tareas independientes con Tokio para maximizar la eficiencia.Si tienes un VPS ajustado, una Raspberry Pi Zero, o simplemente quieres ser racional con los recursos de tu servidor, este episodio te interesa. Porque al final, de esto va el self-hosting: de tener herramientas que hagan su trabajo sin que el servidor se resienta. Como siempre, te dejo el docker-compose, las variables de entorno y las instrucciones en las notas del episodio para que puedas probarlo tú mismo en cinco minutos.Capítulos:0:00 - Introducción: la necesidad de monitorizar páginas web1:54 - Uptime Kuma: características y panel de control4:45 - Ventajas e inconvenientes de Uptime Kuma5:36 - El problema del consumo: CPU, RAM y disco7:05 - Watchbit: OIDC, dashboard y diseño por tarjetas8:43 - Comparativa de consumo: Watchbit vs Uptime Kuma10:53 - Heartbeats y monitores en Watchbit12:37 - Configuración de monitores, notificadores y plantillas14:31 - Ajustes, backup y stack técnico (Rust + React + SQLite)17:26 - 7 razones para migrar e instalaciónMás información y enlaces en las notas del episodio
This week I sat down with Gloria Xiong, Assistant Professor of Government at Colby College, and Jessica Chen Weiss, the David M. Lampton Professor of China Studies at Johns Hopkins SAIS, to discuss their new Foreign Affairs essay, "How China Found Its Most Potent Weapon: The Real History of Beijing's Rare Earth Dominance." The story everyone tells is one of foresight — a master plan hatched by Deng Xiaoping and now coming to fruition. Gloria and Jessica argue the reality was far messier: reform-era export mania, environmental catastrophe, defiant local governments, scarcity anxiety, and a lesson in chokepoint weaponization that Beijing learned from Washington. Getting the story wrong, they argue, feeds an action-reaction spiral that neither side started and neither fully controls — and with the Busan truce expiring in November, the stakes could hardly be higher.09:31 — "The Middle East has oil, China has rare earths": what Deng Xiaoping actually said, and how a quote got recruited for a story he wasn't telling12:33 — Why the master plan narrative is so irresistible across the partisan spectrum in Washington15:40 — The cheap and dirty origins: reform-era export mania, thousands of small mines, and rare earths sold "at the price of cabbage and dirt"19:06 — The West as co-author of the chokepoint: offshoring the pollution, and the stockpile that was never built21:53 — Beijing's struggle to control its own industry: quotas, "crime rings," and the partially failed 2002 consolidation25:13 — September 2010: what really happened with the "embargo" against Japan, and why Beijing may have learned about it from Japanese customs28:47 — Fans and fire hoses: how bottom-up nationalism can commit Beijing to coercive postures it didn't choose32:13 — The debate inside China after 2010: protectionists versus Hong Feng's warning against using rare earths as "political chips"35:44 — The 2015 WTO ruling: China complied — was it a rule-taker, or did it simply lack the tools to do anything else?38:06 — Learning from Washington: Huawei, the Export Control Law, the China Rare Earth Group, and what distinguishes learning from planning40:24 — The 2022–2024 ledger: what's the evidence for an action-reaction spiral beyond the timeline?44:25 — April 2025: coercion or bureaucratic pileup? Thirty licensing officials and a 74% collapse in magnet exports47:46 — October 2025: the extraterritorial rule that mirrored the Foreign Direct Product Rule, and the Busan truce52:32 — The countdown to November: hawks in both capitals, "mutually assured disruption," and Xi's coming state visit55:29 — The limits of leverage on both sides: yttrium, Japan's diversification, and China's own resource insecurity58:32 — From crime rings to two national champions: has the Wild West been tamed, and are central-local relations "fractured"?01:02:21 — Prescriptions: positive reciprocity, licensing Chinese technology, and managing interdependence rather than escaping it01:05:51 — Everyone else: Myanmar, Congo, Australia, and how Beijing thinks about third countries that don't want to choosePaying It ForwardGloria name-checked Wendy Leutert of Indiana University, who works on the reform and global expansion of China's state-owned enterprises and, with Isaac Kardon, on Chinese investment in global ports; Ning Leng of Georgetown University, author of the award-winning Politicizing Business: How Firms Are Made to Serve the Party State in China; and Ketian Zhang, who has written extensively on Chinese coercion and maritime disputes.Jessica first acknowledged the scholars whose research the essay drew on but couldn't cite in Foreign Affairs: Cory Combs of Trivium China, Arthur Kroeber, Henry Farrell, Duleep Singh, and Julie Klinger. She also flagged Jack Zhang, who runs the Trade War Lab at the University of Kansas, and Kyle Jaros and Sara Newland, who are writing a book on subnational economic statecraft — work that has shaped her thinking on disaggregating what the United States wants, not just what China wants.RecommendationsGloria: Healing the Heart of Democracy by Parker Palmer — a book she first read in a college writing seminar and returned to as she heads back into the classroom.Jessica: The Scientist and the Spy by Mara Hvistendahl, which she uses to close her SAIS seminar on Chinese foreign policy as a reminder about proportionality; and Ann Patchett's new novel Whistler.Kaiser: Wallace Stegner's Angle of Repose, the 1972 Pulitzer winner — a novel about mining camps in the American West and one of the most fully realized characters in American fiction.Also mentioned: Jessica's recent interview with Daniel Kurtz-Phelan on The Foreign Affairs Interview podcast, and her interview in The Monitor, the newsletter of the Carter Center's U.S.-China Perception Monitor.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Barry Morphew's GPS monitor told the whole story. On August 26, 2026, the man awaiting trial for his wife's murder wasn't at work. He was at a steakhouse, a Whole Foods, downtown Denver, and Denver International Airport — none of it authorized. Then he allegedly hit two cars near Cherry Creek, offered the driver cash, and fled. Prosecutors say the monitoring company had given him a roaming window the judge never approved and never checked whether he showed up to a job site. The judge raised his bond to ten million cash-only and said he shows no respect for any order of her court. Barry had already lived under fake names in Arizona and forged his missing wife's ballot. Every move he makes to avoid scrutiny becomes the reason scrutiny tightens.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292 Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

David Richter of Simple CFO opens this solo episode with a warning every flipper needs to hear: your rehab budget is probably lying to you unless you're tracking actual versus planned on every deal. He calls budget overruns the number one silent killer of fix-and-flip businesses, except it's not that silent, because it kills loudly when you're bleeding $10,000 a deal.This is a tactical walkthrough of how to set up your balance sheet to see exactly what you're all into a property at any moment. David breaks down the parent and sub-account structure for tracking purchase price, holding costs, and rehab, the "all-in" number that tells you when to worry, and a real story of an investor with 20 deals in his pipeline who nearly declared bankruptcy. If you flip houses, grab a pen.Timeline Summary[0:31] – Why your rehab budget is lying to you if you don't track actual versus planned[0:58] – Budget overruns as the number one silent killer, and how $5K to $10K a deal drains you fast[1:24] – Why you need to be able to pull your own money back out of the business[1:50] – Using the balance sheet, not just software, to see where you stand mid-project[2:13] – How an active flip sits on the balance sheet as a current asset until it sells[2:36] – Setting up an "other current assets" parent account with a sub-account per project[3:03] – The two or three sub-accounts every serious flipper should track[3:53] – A simple example: $100K purchase, $25K holding, $75K rehab equals $200K all-in[4:38] – What the all-in number tells you and why it matters for a fire sale[5:30] – Why the actual dollars hitting your bank beat any project management software[5:52] – How going $15K over, deal after deal, quietly takes you down[6:27] – The investor with 20 deals in his pipeline who nearly declared bankruptcy[7:13] – Checking your loan amount to know how much of your own money is trapped in a deal[7:46] – How having the numbers in front of you lets you make the decision that saves the business5 Key TakeawaysTrack Actual Versus Planned — A rehab budget you don't check against real spending is worthless. Overruns are the number one killer of flip businesses, and they compound fast at $5K to $10K a deal.Use Your Balance Sheet — An active flip lives on the balance sheet as a current asset until it sells. Set it up right and it tells you where you stand at any point in the project.Build The Right Account Structure — Under an "other current assets" parent, give each project its own account with sub-accounts for purchase price, holding costs, and rehab. That's how you see the truth.Know Your All-In Number — Adding purchase, holding, and rehab gives you what you're all into a property. That single number tells you your floor for a fire sale and how much of your own cash is at risk.The Numbers Save The Business — The investor with 20 deals nearly went bankrupt because his cash was trapped. Seeing your all-in and your loan amount lets you decide when you need a bridge loan or more funds before it's too late.Links & ResourcesSimple CFO — https://simplecfo.comProfit First for Real Estate Investing by David Richter — https://profitfirstrei.comEnjoyed This Episode?If David's all-in number made you realize you don't actually know what you're into your current flips at, that's worth fixing before your next draw. Share this episode with a flipper who's always wondering where the cash went, and follow the show and leave a rating and review so more real estate investors can stop letting overruns quietly kill their deals.

The International Criminal Court was set up to bring individuals to justice for war crimes. But its future is now being questioned by the United States. At issue is whether the U.S. should maintain its commitment to international justice or try to end an organization it sees as flawed and overreaching its authority. Also: today's stories, including how a new round of strikes by the United States and Iran threatens to restart a conflict in the Middle East; a look at how Boston is making strides in composting; and how in Somaliland, a major book fair is putting the unrecognized country on the literary map.

Global headline inflation cooled in July but is set to reaccelerate in August as higher energy prices reverse the recent decline. Food inflation has remained remarkably subdued, though rising pipeline pressures suggest a gradual pickup into year-end. Core inflation remains sticky at 2.7%oya, but a rotation is taking hold, with easing services inflation increasingly offset by firmer goods price inflation. We expect this dynamic to keep global inflation close to 3% and reinforce the case for further central bank tightening. Against this backdrop, next week's US CPI report will be closely watched ahead of this month's FOMC decision.

Iran's economy was in ruins even before the war, and before U.S. President Donald Trump's latest “D-Day” sanctions. So far, ordinary Iranians are bearing the brunt and feeling apathetic, meaning surviving leaders, for now, might face a lower risk of an uprising.

Every sale becomes content.It is fair to miss what collecting used to feel like.But the hobby we have now gives collectors access to sales history, checklists, population reports, saved searches, auction archives, and people with years of knowledge.Access is no longer the edge. Judgment is.Brett explains why the modern hobby rewards proactive collectors and shares a system for making decisions with purpose. Build a collecting thesis. Assign a role to each source. Monitor the cards that matter. Record why you buy. Give yourself confidence to pass.The hobby you remember is not coming back in the same form. That does not mean your best collecting years are behind you.Check out the awesome software that InfernoRed Technology can build for you.Sign up for Hobby Jobs and The Weekly Rip for freeGet your free copy of Collecting For Keeps: Finding Meaning In A Hobby Built On HypeStart your 7 day free trial of Stacking Slabs Patreon Today[Distributed on Sunday] Sign up for the Stacking Slabs Weekly Rip Newsletter using this linkFollow Stacking Slabs: | Twitter | Instagram | Facebook | Tiktok ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

The conversation begins with introductions from experts specializing in dairy genetics, reproductive management, transition cow health, and calf monitoring technologies, providing insight into how precision dairy tools are being applied across the dairy industry. 0:00-6:21 The panel then explores the evolution of computer vision and artificial intelligence, discussing how modern dairy technologies are moving beyond simple data collection to deliver actionable insights that help producers solve real-world challenges. They also examine technology adoption trends, workforce development, and the barriers farms continue to face, including connectivity and technical support. 9:32-24:08 A major focus of the discussion is precision health monitoring for transition cows and calves. The experts explain why the transition period remains one of the most critical opportunities for intervention and how emerging technologies can help identify animals needing attention while addressing the challenges of managing "yellow cows" that fall between healthy and sick. 24:08-36:11 Looking toward the future, the panel explores digital twin technology, genetic considerations, calf health monitoring, audio sensing, and innovative approaches such as Wi-Fi-based cattle monitoring systems. The discussion highlights how these emerging technologies may further advance precision dairy management in the coming years. 36:11-45:55 The episode concludes with a discussion on dairy welfare monitoring, AI model development, and reinforcement learning, emphasizing the importance of transforming large amounts of farm data into meaningful information that supports animal wellbeing and management decisions. 46:41-52:10 Please subscribe and share with your industry friends.

Monitor engineer Kevin “KG” Glendinning joins you live from a Roman amphitheater in Pula, Croatia: eight countries in seven days into the Lorde world tour…and he’s got the receipts. You’ll hear how fifteen trips through the SNL stage started with a Carson Daly taping, why the rooms that treat you well are the rooms you remember, and what happens when a 32-year veteran finally plugs in a source expander and realizes the “new guys” were right. That’s the through-line: always be learning, always be open-minded, and never let a get-off-my-lawn attitude about new tech be the reason your phone stops ringing. Then it gets into the real in-ear monitor conversations: recreating a Celestion cab with a 2.6mm armature, the one-ear trick that quietly costs Adam Levine and John Mayer another 25% of volume, and why ear fatigue deserves the same respect a pitcher gives his arm. The road stories land hard from there. Super Bowl XLV in Dallas with snow, the Black Eyed Peas, and a lesson in letting the pros run their own show. Red Rocks (aka “Wet Rocks”) and why a mountain full of shuttle trucks is worth every minute. A locked-up console mid-residency and telling Christina Aguilera the audio will come back, all while genuinely hoping it would. A charter plane struck by lightning over the Amazon, an emergency landing at a decommissioned airfield, and waking up to the news about Taylor Hawkins. Plus the covert phone call that became seven years with Justin Timberlake, and the soft ask years earlier that made it happen. Rehearse enough that nerves turn into muscle memory, thank the people who opened doors for you, ask for the gig you want…and Always Be Performing. 00:00:00 Gig Gab 549 – Monday, August 31st, 2026 August 31st: Eat Outside Day Guest co-host: Kevin Glendinning 00:02:38 Pula, Croatia. 8 countries in 7 days 00:04:36 SNL stage for The Deftones with the Carson Daly show 00:06:20 Making an impression on touring musicians with 00:08:35 Always be learning about the new tech Learning from the “new” guys Neve 5045 Primary Source Expander Waves PSE Plugin Digico Mustard Source Enhancer 00:13:55 Always be open-minded 00:18:57 Mixing ears and the respect of it all 00:21:02 Chris Rabold mixing monitors for REM 00:22:06 Now some REM stories 00:24:23 Helping get Adam Levine & John Mayer through ear fatigue with one ear monitor 00:26:46 OzFest System Engineers and hearing fatigue 00:27:45 Sometimes it just doesn't sound right 00:30:44 Super Bowl in 2011 in Dallas…with snow!

Show DescriptionWhen a disaster begins high in the mountains, its consequences can reach communities far downstream before people understand what is coming.In this episode of the Emergency Management Network podcast, we examine Nepal's devastating August 26 flash flood and debris flow, the unfolding humanitarian emergency, and the operational challenges facing responders. Preliminary USGS findings describe a rapid slope failure involving a glacier that sent destructive debris and floodwaters nearly 100 kilometers downstream. USGSAmid the destruction, a last-minute warning helped a school leader evacuate more than 900 students—a powerful starting point for discussing warning systems, decision authority, and protective action. ReutersWe explore the immediate response priorities, the consequences of damaged infrastructure, and the responsibilities that continue long after the initial flood. For emergency management professionals, this episode asks: What does this disaster reveal about our own readiness, and what should we do with those lessons?Show NotesBriefing Script — Situation as of August 31, 2026Nepal is confronting a major flash-flood and debris-flow disaster along its northern border with Tibet. The event began on August 26, when a rapid slope failure involving a glacier in Langtang National Park likely sent rock, mud, ice, and water into the Lende Khola and Trishuli river systems. The destructive flow traveled nearly 100 kilometers downstream. The precise initiating mechanism remains preliminary and requires continued scientific assessment. USGSThe humanitarian consequences are severe. According to the cited reporting, Nepalese authorities have reported more than 900 deaths, over 4,200 people missing—including hundreds of foreign nationals—and more than 10,000 rescues. The Nepal Red Cross estimates that more than 90,000 people have been affected. These figures are provisional; access constraints, debris burial, displacement, and disrupted communications complicate accountability. NBC NewsThis is a compound mountain disaster, with flooding, debris movement, isolation, and infrastructure failures creating overlapping response challenges. Buildings and a vital highway connecting Nepal and China have reportedly been buried or destroyed. USGS Reports also indicate that hundreds of workers may be trapped or unaccounted for at damaged hydropower projects in Rasuwa and Nuwakot. Associated PressSo What? Now What for the Emergency Management Professional?The following priorities frame our operational discussion:* Sustain lifesaving operations. Support search and rescue, missing-person accounting, and family reunification, particularly in isolated valleys and at damaged hydropower sites.* Restore safe access. Assess and establish ground and air access to communities isolated by road and bridge failures, while accounting for responder safety and changing conditions.* Meet immediate humanitarian needs. Coordinate emergency shelter, safe water, food, trauma care, and continuity of essential health services.* Rebuild situational awareness. Restore communications and conduct rapid damage, needs, and infrastructure assessments.* Monitor secondary hazards. Maintain downstream monitoring and public warning while assessing unstable slopes, river blockages, rainfall, and glacial hazards.* Plan for sustained displacement and recovery. Incorporate education, protection, psychosocial support, and safer reconstruction into early recovery discussions.According to the cited UN report, the United Nations has released an initial $2 million in emergency funding, while WHO has deployed emergency health supplies sufficient to support basic health services for up to 10,000 people. UNICEF reports that at least 17,000 children have been affected, facing risks associated with disease, malnutrition, disrupted education, violence, and exploitation. UN NewsNepal's emergency requires simultaneous attention to immediate life safety and prolonged needs involving access, shelter, health, infrastructure, and recovery. Our discussion considers how government-led coordination, local capacity, and international support can address those demands while continuing to monitor cascading hazards.Lifesaving Warnings: The School EvacuationReuters reports that a last-minute warning helped save more than 900 students at Tribhuvan Trishuli Secondary School. We use that account to examine the connection between receiving information and initiating protective action. ReutersDiscussion questions include:* Who can authorize an immediate evacuation without waiting for additional approval?* Can warnings reach schools through multiple, trusted communication channels?* Do evacuation plans address arriving buses, accessible transportation, accountability, and family reunification?* How do local emergency managers receive information about threats originating upstream or across borders?* How can recovery decisions reduce exposure to future disasters?Additional ReadingNPR: Nepal floods, climate change, and the HimalayasInformation reflects reporting available as of August 31, 2026. Casualty figures, missing-person totals, humanitarian estimates, and scientific findings are provisional and should be checked before recording or publication.Nepal Flash Flood: Top-Rated Charities Providing Reliefhttps://blog.charitywatch.org/nepal-flash-flood-top-rated-charities-providing-relief/ This is a public episode.

Podcasting 2.0 August 28th 2026 Episode 269 - "Verbal Pollution" Shownotes ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 00 - DATABASE SURGERY WEEK — AND THE THIRD EMERGENCY OF THE MONTH The lead, and it's Dave's: Saturday 22 Aug — "#api I'm in the middle of a big refactor with the Podcast Index database schema. If I do my job right, nobody will notice it. But, the side effect will be an overall huge increase in the consistency of the data (duplicates, url change lag, etc)." @dave — the big schema refactor (22 Aug) Wednesday night: "Podcast Index database surgery will begin in the morning." Thursday: "Step 1. Expect a brief api outage. It should last just a few minutes." — then "Done" — then "#api Adding a very large table index..." — and finally, Thursday evening: "Finished. Butt is intact." (6 favourites. The board's favourite status update of the month.) What Adam should ask: what actually changed under the hood, what does "consistency" buy an app developer in practice, and is there anything a host or an app should do differently now that duplicates and url-change lag are being cleaned up?

Cultivating H.E.R. Space: Uplifting Conversations for the Black Woman
Lady, when was the last time you took a long hard look in the mirror to examine the negativity you may bring to your relationships? We know that doing so requires hard work and often a level of vulnerability that some of us will readily avoid. In today’s throwback episode, Terri and Dom offer us ways to identify when and why we are the toxic ones in our relationships. They also share some of their toxic ways. Within that sharing, the ladies also provide us with concrete steps to take if we are ready for making a change in our behavior patterns. Be sure to tune in and also scroll below for more information on tips and resources mentioned in this episode. Quote of the Day: "Your toxicity in your relationships with other people is actually an extension of the toxicity in your relationship to yourself. What you have is not an issue with how you relate to others, but a fundamental trauma that is preventing you from being at ease within yourself. That is what you must address." - Brianna Wiest Takeaways: Signs it's you: All of your problems are someone else's fault You take more than you give There's so much drama You have a major superiority complex You’re a Debbie Downer You only express love or admiration when you need something. How to make the change: Watch how people interact around you Monitor your own thoughts and actions Apologize more and seek understanding Identify the root of the toxicity and what must be done to heal Will I Ever Be Good Enough?: Healing the Daughters of Narcissistic Mothers The Self Compassion Deck Relevant Past Episodes: S5E3: A Fresh Perspective on Receiving Feedback and Managing Defensiveness S5E4: How Your Words Are Creating Your Current Reality (Put Some Respect on Your Name) S3E12: Healing Intergenerational Trauma with Dr. Thema Bryant-Davis Resources: Melanin and Mental Health Therapy for Black Girls Psychology Today Therapy for QPOC Where to find us: Twitter: @HERspacepodcast Instagram: @herspacepodcast Facebook: @herspacepodcast Website: herspacepodcast.com Email: herspacepodcast@gmail.com H.E.R Space Sanctuary: https://www.facebook.com/groups/herspacesanctuary/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's a moment none of us wants to experience. The moment we learn someone stole our identity. Our head swims with questions. How did this happen? Where did I go wrong? How do I go about fixing it? There are many ways thieves target us and steal our information. From data breaches to check fraud, the tactics vary, but what matters most in this time is knowing the right steps to take to resolve the issue as soon as possible.

Follow us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter! Learn more about Triangle Credit Union Transcript: Welcome to Money Tip Tuesday from the Making Money Personal podcast. This week's tip is a resource from the America Saves campaign focused on check fraud awareness and resolution. Take a moment, listen in, and share it with others so they can be made aware of this ongoing financial threat. Finding out you've been a victim of check fraud can feel overwhelming. Maybe a check was stolen from the mail. Maybe your account shows a payment you never authorized. Or maybe you deposited a check that turned out to be fake. No matter how it happened, one thing is true: acting quickly matters. The sooner you respond, the better your chance of limiting financial loss, protecting your account, and preventing further fraud. If you think you're a victim of check fraud, here are the steps to take. Step 1: Contact Your Financial Institution Immediately Your first call should be to your financial institution. Tell them: What happened Which transaction looks suspicious When you noticed it Your financial institution may be able to: Place a stop payment Freeze your account Open an investigation Provide information needed to file a report with the authorities Do not wait to “see if it clears up.” Time matters. Step 2: Review Your Account for Other Fraud Fraud may not stop at one transaction. Look through recent account activity for: Other unfamiliar checks Unusual withdrawals New account changes you did not make Review at least the last 30–60 days if possible. If your account information was stolen, criminals may attempt additional fraud. Step 3: Document Everything Keep records of: Suspicious transactions Check numbers All related communications including calls, emails or text messages related to the fraud Police or fraud reports Write down dates, names, and case numbers. This documentation can help if you need to dispute charges or file reports. Step 4: File a Fraud Report Depending on the situation, you may need to report the fraud to local authorities or other agencies. This can be especially important if: Mail was stolen Identity theft is involved A scammer targeted you online Ask your financial institution what reports they recommend. Keep copies of everything. Step 5: Secure Your Account If your account information has been compromised, your institution may recommend that you open a new account. Take additional steps like: Changing online banking passwords Updating PINs Reviewing linked payment accounts If you use the same password elsewhere, update those too. Step 6: Replace Compromised Checks If physical checks were stolen: Report the missing check numbers Store remaining checks securely Order new checks if needed Do not continue using compromised check numbers. Step 7: Watch for Identity Theft A stolen check contains personal information. Watch for: Unfamiliar credit activity Unexpected bills Collection notices New account openings Continue monitoring your financial accounts regularly. If You Deposited a Fake Check If you deposited a fraudulent check as part of a scam, contact your financial institution immediately. Explain what happened. Even if the money appeared in your account, it may later be removed if the check is fake. Remember: If someone asks you to send money back after depositing a check, that is a major warning sign. How to Protect Yourself Going Forward After fraud happens, it's normal to feel cautious. Moving forward: Monitor your account weekly Use account alerts Mail checks securely Keep checks stored safely Be cautious with unexpected payments Ask questions before acting Fraud can happen to anyone. What matters most is how quickly you respond and what you do next. Final Takeaway Check fraud can be frustrating and stressful, but you are not powerless. Quick action can help protect your money and reduce the impact. Knowledge is one of your strongest tools. Download this action guide for step-by-step help on what to do, who to contact, and how to protect your money moving forward. Want to continue building your financial confidence and awareness?

Your voice is the most temperamental instrument you’ll ever own, and this week Victor Carrillo Tracey – original company member of Broadway’s The Outsiders – walks you through what it takes to keep one working eight shows a week. Hydration and sleep swap places at number one, alcohol and caffeine cost more than you think, and inspiration doesn’t get a vote when downbeat is 8pm. You’ll hear how a single college voice lesson with a head cold taught Victor to navigate around a compromised instrument years before he needed it on Broadway, and why nerves usually answer to preparation rather than talent. Book the room. Play your opener as the last song of soundcheck. Always Be Performing starts well before anyone’s watching. Then it gets nerdy. Victor breaks down what a swing actually is (think relief pitcher), and how he covered nine tracks at once before working his way up to playing Paul full-time. You’ll pick up forced perspective, the staging trick that tells an audience exactly where to look and translates straight to your own stage. Plus the band sealed in the pit under the apron, monitor wedges in the floor and sidefills in the wings, a rig that tracks each voice around the house, watching a Broadway book get written in real time, and Dave’s case for mixing your in-ears in stereo instead of piling everything up the middle. Victor’s last Outsiders show is October 11th, right around performance number one thousand…and he still tells himself this is the best job ever before every show. 00:00:00 Gig Gab 548 – Monday, August 24th, 2026 August 24th: International Strange Music Day Guest co-host: Victor Carrillo Tracey 00:02:45 The voice is the most temperamental instrument 00:06:04 The benefits of an education Always Be Learning – Beginner's Mind 00:08:54 Learning to navigate around your voice when things are non-optimal 00:13:28 Taking care of your voice The most important thing is hydration.
