Pablo Picasso is known as one of the greatest artists of all time, and he made many works of art that are still talked about today. In this episode we will explore his work that is considered to be the most controversial of all time. ‘Les Demoiselles d'Avignon' is a painting that is made up of heavily distorted human forms, which are unlike any other traditional views of beauty that have been portrayed in art before. In this episode we will look at the genius behind this work of art and also explore the possible cause of such a work of art, and how Picasso used his paintings to express the deep rooted societal problems that were going on at the time. We will also explore the fine line between artistic innovation and pure ugliness, and ask the question, can a work of art be so visionary that it makes us feel uncomfortable? We will also look at how people view ‘Les Demoiselles d'Avignon' today, and compare it to how people viewed it after the trauma of history had developed. Join us as we delve into the many layers of this groundbreaking work of art, and have a discussion on whether or not it is beautiful, and what we really mean by the word beautiful. Is true beauty found in a work of art that is full of harmony, or in the cracks of a broken and fractured human form.
For decades the reassuring story about tattoos was that the ink stays put: a permanent mark, sealed in the skin, chemically done with your body. It isn't. Pigment migrates out of the skin and lodges in your lymph nodes, carrying the carcinogens it came with, and it stays there for the rest of your life. That's not in dispute. What is in dispute is whether any of it actually causes cancer, and in 2024 and 2025 several teams finally ran the studies. They came back contradicting each other, one country finds tattoos raise melanoma risk, another finds the opposite, and the strongest study designs find nothing at all. So what does the evidence actually show, where's the real risk, and who's regulating what goes into the bottle?0:28 The stained node no one could explain2:01 What's actually in tattoo ink3:28 The body's immune response to ink7:23 Ink and vaccine response8:42 Where the ink migrates to12:30 Tattoos and cancer risk14:44 Conflicting skin cancer data16:03 A confounding factor in the data17:27 The risk of laser removal19:32 How tattoo ink is regulated23:35 Practical takeaways

In this episode, we're introducing the Skin 360 treatment series: a six-month program designed to support overall skin quality through a rotating monthly plan using ADVATx, LaseMD, and Exceed microneedling.Rather than relying on one approach, Skin 360 alternates between these technologies month by month, allowing us to target different aspects of skin appearance, including tone, texture, redness, pores, fine lines, and overall radiance.We'll talk through how each treatment works, why spacing and sequencing matter, what patients can expect during the six-month (every 4 weeks) or nine-month (every 6 week) journey, and who may be a good candidate.As always, treatment plans should be individualized after a consultation, because skin type, goals, medical history, and downtime tolerance all matter.Thank you for your listenership!
Chez Swan, la croissance vient majoritairement de l'usage plutôt que de la signature de nouveaux deals, même si un nouveau deal reste évidemment un générateur de croissance.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 1-08-2026: Dr. Dawn concludes her 2025 medical advances recap, noting that while GLP-1 weight loss drugs showed unexpected benefits for addiction, schizophrenia, and dementia risk, Novo Nordisk recently reported semaglutide had no effect on cognition in people with existing dementia or mild cognitive impairment. She describes the first successful human bladder transplant performed on May 4th. The 41-year-old recipient received both kidney and bladder due to the bladder's complex blood vessel network. Surgeons practiced on cadavers with active circulation before achieving success, opening pathways for future bladder-only transplants for the 84,000 Americans diagnosed with bladder cancer annually. An emailer follows up about purslane for cognitive health. Dr. Dawn reviewed the referenced studies and found neither actually supported claims about purslane and cognition—one discussed the Lyon Heart Study's Mediterranean diet, the other described antioxidant properties. She cautions listeners that websites citing "scientifically proven" claims often reference articles that don't support their assertions. An emailer asks about statin alternatives after developing severe muscle pain on both atorvastatin and rosuvastatin. Dr. Dawn suggests he shouldn't be on statins given his classic adverse reaction. She recommends ezetimibe plus oat bran for cholesterol, metformin for his elevated triglycerides indicating insulin resistance, and checking LDL particle size and inflammation markers. She emphasizes that cholesterol is a risk factor, not a disease, and treating 50 low-risk people for 10 years prevents only one heart attack. A caller discusses plaque formation theory, comparing it to calluses. Dr. Dawn explains Linus Pauling's similar hypothesis that plaque forms at vessel bifurcations to protect against turbulent blood flow damage. She warns against driving total cholesterol below 130, as it disrupts steroid hormone production. The caller shares his mother's near-fatal rhabdomyolysis from statins—muscle breakdown releasing myoglobin that clogs kidneys—and criticizes data transfer failures between hospital systems. An emailer reports four UTIs in two months at age 79. Dr. Dawn questions whether all were true infections, since vaginal contamination causes false positives on dipstick tests. For confirmed UTIs, she recommends D-mannose and cranberry to prevent bacterial adhesion, post-void residual ultrasound to check for incomplete emptying, lactobacillus probiotics, and vaginal DHEA (Intrarosa) to restore mucosal thickness and disease resistance. Dr. Dawn describes Stanford's Phase III trial for dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa, where defective collagen-7 causes skin layers to separate at the slightest touch. Researchers take patient skin biopsies, use retroviruses to insert corrected genes, grow credit-card-sized skin grafts over 25 days, then suture them onto wounds. At 48 weeks, 65% of treated wounds fully healed versus 7% of controls. She reports a Stanford study showing premature babies who heard recordings of their mothers reading for 2 hours 40 minutes daily developed more mature white matter in language pathways. The left arcuate fasciculus showed greater development than controls, demonstrating how early auditory stimulation shapes brain circuitry even in NICU settings. Dr. Dawn concludes with tattoo safety concerns. Modern vivid inks contain compounds developed for car paint and printer toner, including azo dyes that break down into carcinogenic aromatic amines—especially during laser removal. Pigment particles migrate to lymph nodes and persist in macrophages, causing prolonged inflammation. She advises those with tattoos to avoid laser removal, wear sunscreen, practice lymphatic hygiene, and reconsider extensive new tattoos.

CFOs and FP&A leaders are flooded with shiny "modern planning" tools, but which ones actually scale with control? In this episode, Andy welcomes back Dave Collins, Director of Strategic Alliances at OneStream, to compare OneStream vs. Pigment in plain finance terms. We dig into the pitfalls finance teams report with lightweight, cube-based planning tools, fragile models, technical debt, and "too many cooks" changing calculations, then contrast that with OneStream's unified platform: governed workflows, data quality checks, and extensible dimensionality that lets you plan and consolidate in one application. Dave unpacks why consolidation isn't just "aggregation," how to avoid fragmentation from bolt-ons, and what real governance looks like when actuals, planning, reporting, and AI all live together.

The most successful enterprises are about to become autonomous — and Eléonore Crespo, Co-CEO of Pigment, is building the nervous system that makes it possible. In this conversation, Eléonore reveals how her $400 million AI platform is already running supply chains for Coca-Cola, powering finance for the hottest newly public companies like Figma and Klarna, and processing thousands of financial scenarios for Uber and Snowflake faster and more accurately than any human team ever could.Eléonore predicts Excel will outlive most AI companies (but maybe only as a user interface, not a calculation engine) explains why she deliberately chose to build from Paris instead of Silicon Valley, and shares her contrarian take on why the AI revolution will create more CFOs, not fewer.You'll discover why Pigment's three-agent system (Analyst, Modeler, Planner) avoids the hallucination problems plaguing other AI companies, how they achieved human-level accuracy in financial analysis, and the accelerating timeline for fully autonomous enterprise planning that will make your current workforce obsolete.PigmentWebsite - https://www.pigment.comTwitter - https://x.com/gopigmentEléonore CrespoLinkedIn - linkedin.com/in/eleonorecrespoFIRSTMARKWebsite - https://firstmark.comTwitter - https://twitter.com/FirstMarkCapMatt Turck (Managing Director)LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/turck/Twitter - https://twitter.com/mattturck(00:00) Intro (01:22) Building Pigment: 500 Employees, $400M Raised, 60% US Revenue (03:20) From Quantum Physics to Google to Index Ventures (06:56) Why Being a VC Was the Perfect Founder Training Ground (11:35) The Impatience Factor: What Makes Great Founders (13:27) Hiring for AI Fluency in the Modern Enterprise (14:54) Pigment's Internal AI Strategy: Committees and Guardrails (17:30) The Three AI Agents: Analyst, Modeler, and Planner (22:15) Why Three Agents Instead of One: Technical Architecture (24:10) Agent Coordination: How the Supervisor Agent Works (24:46) Real Example: Budget Variance Analysis Across 50 Products (27:15) The Human-in-the-Loop Approach: Recommendations Not Actions (27:36) Solving Hallucination: Why Structured Data Changes Everything (30:08) Behind the Scenes: Verification Agents and Audit Trails (31:57) Beyond Accuracy: Enabling the Impossible at Scale (36:21) Will AI Finally Kill Excel?

At 30, Jay Peir stepped into the CFO role at SunPower, a high-efficiency solar cell manufacturer. The appointment came after leading M&A and venture investments at Cypress Semiconductor, where SunPower was the largest portfolio company. “I had my first CFO experience at the age of 30,” Peir tells us, recalling how corporate development responsibilities opened the door to finance leadership.That early leap reflected a broader pattern in his career: moving fluidly between finance and strategy. With dual engineering degrees from Stanford, Peir began in economic consulting before earning his MBA amid the rise and fall of the dot-com era. His background in technology and data analysis, he tells us, formed “my first chapter” and prepared him for navigating growth in fast-moving sectors.A decade at Tableau deepened those lessons. When revenue slowed and the company's stock “dropped about 50% in one day,” Peir was tasked with helping lead a shift to subscription. He emphasizes that success required aligning stakeholders across sales, marketing, and finance, ensuring teams could both understand and articulate changes to customers. “There's both internal and external change management,” he tells us, noting the importance of investor communication as well.Today, as Head of Strategy at Pigment, CFO Peir applies these experiences to scaling an AI-native planning platform. Pigment's tools unify financial and operational planning, enabling companies to act on data with speed and flexibility. The company's AI roadmap includes predictive analytics and autonomous agents, helping finance teams drive variance analysis, expense tracking, and forecasting more efficiently, Peir tells us.
The crew (Dr.D, Kara, and Josiah) come on to talk about being the unaligned commander for the Summer of Plunder campaign by Blood and Pigment. They talk about how the campaign went and what was expected of someone who was not actually in charge of a specific country. We also briefly talk about Oak and Iron. It wouldn't be an episode of Arachne if it didn't include some terrible humor as well. Come aboard and give it a listen! ARRGGG!!!
