From site plans to court judgments: Why luxury apartments sit vacant for years - and the brutal truth about land documentation, investment strategy, and the $55,000 deal that proves competition is reshaping Ghana's real estate future. In this explosive episode of Konnected Minds, real estate veterans Rash Asari and Quasiotin Desmond (COD) dismantle the dangerous investment myths keeping African buyers trapped between unaffordable luxury and undocumented land nightmares. This isn't motivational property talk from social media influencers - it's a systematic breakdown of why $5,000 monthly apartments struggle to find tenants while strategic investors negotiate 25% discounts, why every land buyer needs a site plan and indenture before touching soil, and why the future of Ghana's real estate market depends on enforcement, competition, and infrastructure expansion that will make today's remote locations tomorrow's premium addresses. Critical revelations include: • Why luxury properties can sit vacant for two years - not many people in Ghana can afford $4,000-$5,000 monthly rent • The starting investor dilemma: land versus luxury investment property - if you're just starting out and can easily afford land, do your homework and buy from trusted sources • The partnership entry strategy: get a few friends together, buy an investment property through a trusted agency, use passive income to build your portfolio from there • Why Ghana's real estate future is beautiful, not crashing - the Big Push Mahama initiative road infrastructure will reduce commute times and expand the market beyond everyone wanting to live in Cantonments. From understanding that most luxury apartment owners bought their homes in simpler times when competition was low, to recognizing that the future will force price competition as supply increases and new projects flood the market, to accepting that the dream of living in Cantonments becomes more real when developers negotiate discounts to compete with four other quality options in the same area - this episode proves that Ghana's real estate market rewards strategic timing and documentation knowledge over rushing into ownership. The person who starts with affordable land in infrastructure development zones, or partners with friends to buy investment property generating passive income, will build a portfolio faster than the person waiting years to afford luxury alone or buying cheap land without proper documentation that ends up in court. For the diaspora investor, local entrepreneur, and first-time buyer seeking to enter Ghana's real estate market without becoming another vacancy statistic or land fraud casualty, this conversation offers the unfiltered blueprint: if starting out, buy land from trusted agencies in areas where road construction is happening - Prampram, Dodowa, Fiena - so commute time drops and value appreciates by the time you build. If investing for passive income, partner with friends to buy affordable luxury units ($55,000 range) and use rental income to fund future purchases. Always demand the site plan (land fingerprint with GPS coordinates), indenture (lease hold terms), and title or judgment documents. Take the seller's original title when buying single plots to prevent multiple sales. Verify that court judgments have reached the Land Commission. Work with established companies that handle documentation and absorb legal risk. And remember - the future of Ghana's real estate isn't crashing. It's expanding through infrastructure, competition, and enforcement. The only question is whether you'll position yourself in the path of development before roads finish and prices reflect the new reality.

Episode Summary: In this episode, Ann Pearson gets straight to the heart of the biggest challenge paralegals face managing an overwhelming workload. Skipping the usual intro, Ann dives right into why so many paralegals feel behind before their day even begins, and why that feeling has nothing to do with their competence. Drawing from her own early-career story of last-minute assignments and impossible timelines, Ann explains the real reason paralegals struggle: no one ever teaches them the systems and structures needed to stay ahead of the chaos. To change that, she introduces a four-step blueprint that helps legal support professionals move from reactive to proactive workload management. Ann also walks listeners through the first section of her new Paralegal Survival Toolkit, a free eight-part resource designed to help paralegals build clarity, control, and confidence in their daily work. As the episode unfolds, she reassures listeners that while the legal workload will always be heavy, the overwhelm doesn't have to be. Key Takeaways: Workload overwhelm is normal and fixable: Feeling behind is not a personal failing; it's part of the legal profession. What can change is your system for handling the workload. Prioritize by impact, not urgency: Inbox urgency is often an illusion. Instead, look for items tied to court deadlines, client deliverables, strategic decisions, or workflows that move a file forward. Map the work before you start the work: Most overwhelm happens because tasks aren't broken down. A project like "prepare discovery responses" contains 8 - 10 steps. Mapping creates clarity and reduces stress. Verify deadlines and assumptions every time: Asking clarifying questions isn't being difficult - it's being professional. Confirm deadlines, expectations, and whether a draft or final version is needed before you begin. Eliminate micro time wasters to reclaim hours: Small inefficiencies, repeated searches, rewriting emails, constant notifications, lack of templates, or unclear instructions add up quickly. System fixes unlock weekly time savings. You can't change the workload, but you can change your control over it. Heavy workloads are unavoidable, but overwhelm isn't. Skills and systems, not more hours, are what make the difference. Get the free Paralegal Survival Toolkit. The downloadable toolkit includes the workload clarity checklist, prioritization prompts, and a project-mapping template. It supports this episode and the seven episodes that follow.

Setting up Linux Mint with Custom LVM and Luks Linux Mint with Custom LVM on LUKS Overview The current Linux Mint installer doesn't support custom partitions when setting up a new machine with LUKS encryption using LVM. I prefer having a separate partition for my home directory and a backup partition for Timeshift, so that reinstalling or fixing issues won't overwrite my home directory. I found several approaches to achieve this. One method involves setting up partitions first and then using the installer to select them, but this requires extensive post-installation configuration to get boot working with the encrypted drive. I discovered this blog which explains how to repartition your drive after installation. Combined with my guide on setting up hibernation, I created this documentation to help remember how to install a fresh copy of Linux Mint with LVM and LUKS. Tested on: Linux Mint 22 Cinnamon Partition Layout For this guide, I'm working with a 1TB drive that will be split into the following logical volumes: Root - 100GB (system files and applications) Swap - 32GB (for hibernation support) Home - 700GB (user files and documents) Backup - 100GB (Timeshift snapshots) Unallocated - ~68GB (reserved for future expansion) This setup ensures that system snapshots and user data remain separate, making system recovery much easier. Installation Guide Step 1: Initial Linux Mint Installation Start the Linux Mint installation process as normal: Boot from your Linux Mint installation media Follow the installation wizard (language, keyboard layout, etc.) When you reach the Installation type screen: Select "Erase disk and install Linux Mint" Click "Advanced features" Enable both options: ✓ Use LVM with the new Linux Mint installation ✓ Encrypt the new Linux Mint installation for security Click Continue Enter a strong encryption password when prompted Complete the rest of the installation (timezone, user account, etc.) When installation finishes, do NOT click "Restart Now" - we'll repartition first Important: Do NOT reboot after installation completes. We need to repartition before the first boot. Step 2: Access Root Terminal After installation finishes, open a terminal and switch to root: sudo -i This gives you administrative privileges needed for disk operations. Step 3: Check Current Disk Layout View your current partition structure: lsblk -f This displays your filesystem layout. You should see your encrypted volume group (typically vgmint) with a large root partition consuming most of the space. Step 4: Resize Root Partition Shrink the root partition from its default size (nearly full disk) to 100GB: lvresize -L 100G --resizefs vgmint/root What this does: -L 100G sets the logical volume size to exactly 100GB --resizefs automatically resizes the filesystem to match This frees up ~900GB for our other partitions Step 5: Resize Swap Partition The default swap is usually small (a few GB). We need to increase it to 32GB for hibernation: lvresize --verbose -L +32G /dev/mapper/vgmint-swap_1 What this does: -L +32G adds 32GB to the current swap size --verbose shows detailed progress information This ensures enough swap space for RAM contents during hibernation Note: For hibernation to work, swap should be at least equal to your RAM size. Adjust accordingly. Step 6: Create Home Partition Create a new logical volume for your home directory: lvcreate -L 700G vgmint -n home What this does: -L 700G creates a 700GB logical volume vgmint is the volume group name -n home names the new volume "home" Step 7: Create Backup Partition Create a logical volume for Timeshift backups: lvcreate -L 100G vgmint -n backup What this does: Creates a dedicated 100GB space for system snapshots Keeps backups separate from user data Prevents backups from filling up your home partition Step 8: Format New Partitions Format both new partitions with the ext4 filesystem: mkfs.ext4 /dev/vgmint/backup mkfs.ext4 /dev/vgmint/home What this does: Creates ext4 filesystems on both logical volumes ext4 is the standard Linux filesystem with good performance and reliability Step 9: Mount Partitions Create mount points and mount your partitions: mkdir /mnt/{root,home} mount /dev/vgmint/root /mnt/root/ mount /dev/vgmint/home /mnt/home/ What this does: Creates temporary directories to access the filesystems Mounts root and home so we can configure them Step 10: Move Home Directory Contents Move the existing home directory contents from the root partition to the new home partition: mv /mnt/root/home/* /mnt/home/ What this does: Transfers all user files and directories from the old location to the new home partition Preserves your user account settings and any files created during installation Without this step, your home directory would be empty on first boot Step 11: Update fstab Add the home partition to the system's fstab file so it mounts automatically at boot: echo "/dev/mapper/vgmint-home /home ext4 defaults 0 2" >> /mnt/root/etc/fstab What this does: Appends a mount entry to /etc/fstab Ensures /home partition mounts automatically at startup The 0 2 values enable filesystem checks during boot Step 12: Clean Up and Prepare for Reboot Unmount the partitions and deactivate the volume group: umount /mnt/root umount /mnt/home swapoff -a lvchange -an vgmint What this does: Safely unmounts all mounted filesystems Turns off swap Deactivates the volume group to prevent conflicts Ensures everything is properly closed before reboot Step 13: Reboot Now you can safely reboot into your new system: reboot Enter your LUKS encryption password at boot, then log in normally. Verification After rebooting, verify your partition setup: lsblk -f df -h You should see: Root (/) mounted with ~100GB Home (/home) mounted with ~700GB Swap available with 32GB Backup partition ready for Timeshift configuration Setting Up Timeshift To complete your backup solution: Install Timeshift (if not already installed): sudo apt install timeshift Launch Timeshift and select RSYNC mode Choose the backup partition as your snapshot location Configure your backup schedule (daily, weekly, monthly) Create your first snapshot Additional Resources Original blog post on LVM rearrangement Setting up hibernation on Linux Mint Conclusion This setup gives you the best of both worlds: the security of full-disk encryption with LUKS, and the flexibility of custom LVM partitions. Your home directory and system backups are now isolated, making system recovery and upgrades much safer and more manageable. Automating Your Linux Mint Setup After a Fresh Install Automating Your Linux Mint Setup After a Fresh Install Setting up a fresh Linux Mint installation can be time-consuming, especially when you want to replicate your perfect development environment. This guide will show you how to automate the entire process using Ansible and configuration backups, so you can go from a fresh install to a fully configured system in minutes. Why Automate Your Setup? Whether you're setting up a new machine, recovering from a system failure, or just want to maintain consistency across multiple computers, automation offers several key benefits: Time Savings: What normally takes hours can be done in minutes Consistency: Identical setup across all your machines Documentation: Your setup becomes self-documenting Recovery: Quick recovery from system failures Reproducibility: Never forget to install that one crucial tool again Discovering Your Installed Applications Before creating your automation setup, you need to identify which applications you've manually installed since the initial OS installation. This helps you build a complete picture of your custom environment. Finding APT and .deb Packages To see all manually installed packages (excluding those that came with the OS): comm -23

Ed Kashi on Archiving, Personal Projects & the Future of Photojournalism Insights from the “10 Frames Per Second” Podcast with photojournalist Ed Kashi, co‑founder of Talking Eyes Media, and his newest book A Period of Time (Briscoe Center, UT Austin). Ed's career spans 40 years of visual storytelling—from early analog darkrooms to iPhone coverage of Hurricane Sandy, from Iraq's Kurdish frontlines to a decades‑long “Aging in America” project. His journey offers timeless lessons for anyone who creates, curates, or consumes visual media. 10 Frames Per Second – a weekly photojournalism podcast from Loyola Radio (WLOY) – brings together veteran photojournalists to discuss the craft, the business, and the stories that shape our world. In episode 168 (released 12/02/25), hosts Molly Roberts, and guest host Stephen Crowley (a guest on Episode 91) sit down with Ed Kashi, a 40‑year visual storyteller who has worked for National Geographic, The New Yorker, Time, MSNBC and more. “We love to start with an origin story. So, Ed, how did you first fall in love with photography?” – Molly The interview uncovers the hidden gems behind Kashi's career, his new retrospective book, and the lessons he's learned while navigating a changing media landscape. If you're a photojournalist, documentary filmmaker, or simply love visual storytelling, you've just landed on a summary of Ed Kashi's recent interview on the 10 Frames Per Second podcast. We break down: Ed Kashi's origin story and why photography hooked him 50 years ago. The making of his new book A Period of Time (Briscoe Center, UT Austin). Why archiving is essential for a sustainable career. The power of personal projects—especially his “Aging in America” series. Mentorship tips for emerging photographers. Ethical challenges in the age of AI. Grab a coffee, skim the headings, and dive into the actionable takeaways! How Ed Kashi Fell in Love With Photography Freshman at Syracuse University (1976) – originally wanted to be a novelist, but a poetry professor told him he was “a really bad writer.” Discovered the Newhouse School of Public Communications, one of the world's top photojournalism programs. Took a basic black‑and‑white darkroom course, learned about legendary photographer Imogen Cunningham (who was still shooting in her 90s). Realized photography could synthesize politics, art, and storytelling—the perfect medium for his activist spirit. “Even at age 10 I was stuffing envelopes for Hubert Humphrey against Nixon. Photography just seemed the vehicle to combine that political impulse with art.” Takeaway for Readers If you're just starting out, look for a mentor or a historic figure who inspires you. That spark can sustain a 50‑year career. A Period of Time: A 40‑Year Retrospective Why a Retrospective Now? Archive donation – Ed Kashi gave 127 banker‑boxes of negatives, slides, prints, and ephemera to the Briscoe Center for American History (UT Austin). Unexpected invitation – Briscoe's director, Don Carlton, asked Ed Kashi, “How does one get collected?” and then offered to collect him. Creative freedom – The Center gave him full editorial control: “This is your story. Do whatever you want.” The Book's Core Idea Linear, issue‑oriented storytelling – Each chapter is a deep dive into a major project (e.g., Northern Ireland, Kurds, Aging in America). Scholarly rigor meets journalistic depth – The book reads like a photo‑anthropology textbook with stunning visuals. “Opening the book felt like holding a newborn—overwhelming but beautiful.” The Power of a Well‑Organized Archive “My archive is like a garden; I can harvest what I need because everything is sorted.” – Ed Kashi How Ed Kashi Keeps His Archive Manageable Early adoption of digital workflow – Transitioned from analog boxes to searchable digital files. Meticulous cataloguing – Every image tagged by date, location, project, and theme. Professional support – Collaborated with studio managers (e.g., Frish Brandt) and curators (e.g., Alison Nordstrom). Benefits for Photojournalists Monetization – Ability to license old images for new publications. Storytelling efficiency – Quickly locate relevant photos for pitches or books. Legacy preservation – Ensures future generations can study and exhibit the work. Quick Tips to Organize Your Own Archive Create a consistent naming convention (YYMMDD_Location_Project_Sequence). Use metadata tags for keywords, people, and locations. Back up on at least two external drives and a cloud service. Review annually – purge duplicates and update tags. Personal Projects: The “Aging in America” Series Why Aging? Not “sexy” but universally human – Kashi wanted a topic that would outlive trends. Long‑term commitment – 8 years, 25 states, $300k in grant funding (Robert Wood Johnson, George Soros). Humanizing statistics – The project shows “the vitality of life, love, and hope” beyond the typical “dying” narrative. Key Outcomes Iconic image – Death scene of Maxine Peters (West Virginia) that resonates across cultures. Global collaboration – “Climate Elders” exhibition at COP 30, involving 150 photographers from 40 countries. Lessons for Emerging Photographers Research first; then shoot – Deep immersion builds trust and authentic moments. Secure funding early – Grants give creative freedom and resources. Be patient – Long‑term projects earn credibility and impact. Mentorship & Teaching: Ed Kashi's Advice for New Photographers Area Kashi's Insight Actionable Tip Tenacity “Failure is not an option; keep going.” Set mini‑milestones; celebrate small wins. Ethics No manipulation, no staging; honor subjects as collaborators. Draft a personal ethics checklist before each shoot. Access Build relationships; be respectful of vulnerable communities. Attend local events, volunteer, network before pitching. AI & Credibility Trust reputable media; AI threatens misinformation. Verify sources; use AI for organization, not image creation. Joy of Photography Keep the joy alive—look at others' work for inspiration. Schedule weekly “inspiration sessions” with peers. Ethics & AI: The New Frontier Ed Kashi worries about political actors using AI to fake images, not about entertainment misuse. He believes trusted news outlets (NYT, BBC, National Geographic) will gain more value as AI blurs reality. Over‑post‑production can create a gloomy aesthetic that misrepresents the world. Practical Guidance Never alter factual content in post‑production. Label AI‑generated edits clearly if they're artistic. Teach media literacy: help audiences distinguish authentic journalism from AI‑fueled “deepfakes.” Closing Thoughts, Ed Kashi Call‑to‑Action Ed Kashi's journey—from a panic‑driven freshman at Syracuse to a globally respected visual storyteller—offers an actionable roadmap for anyone chasing a sustainable photojournalism career. Archive like a gardener. Invest in personal, issue‑driven projects. Mentor, learn, and stay ethically grounded. Embrace technology wisely, especially AI. Want More?

Are you confident in spotting a child at risk of neglect? Do you know what to do if you witness abuse in your practice? How can you raise concerns safely while protecting both the child and your team? This episode with Dr. Christine Park provides tangible actions, practical scripts, and clear guidance for managing challenging scenarios—like seeing an adult hit a child in the waiting room or recognizing neglect in the dental chair. These are situations dental school rarely prepares us for. Every practice needs clear protocols for safeguarding. This episode acts as a North Star, helping you stay compliant while ethically doing the right thing. If you treat children, you must listen to this episode and share it with every colleague who treats children. https://youtu.be/-kYs23Xa4Ls Watch PDP251 on YouTube Protrusive Dental Pearl: Find the phone number of your local child safeguarding board / social services. Verify it, then display it where you and your team can quickly access it. Key Takeaways Dentists are trained observers of family dynamics. Recognizing normal behavior is key in dental care. Unconscious observations can guide professionals. Feeling uncomfortable about a situation is a valid signal. Empowerment comes from trusting your instincts. Dental care professionals see many aspects of families. It’s important to act on uncomfortable feelings. Observation skills are crucial for effective care. Children’s interactions reveal much about family health. Awareness of discomfort can lead to better outcomes.

Kathrine Nero In this episode, Kathrine Nero and Lauryn Howery discuss ways to talk turkey, not politics, this Thanksgiving! There's a chill in the air, a pie in the oven, and an uncle somewhere warming up his favorite political rant. Welcome to misinformation season. It's that time of year when your cousin's cranberry sauce might come with a side of controversy, and as we gather in gratitude, the real goal isn't steering the conversation — it's staying at the table. If you've ever found yourself sitting at the family table wondering how the conversation went from mashed potatoes to misinformation, you're not alone. The holidays are basically democracy in the dining room: everyone has a voice, everyone's talking at once, and occasionally someone walks away mid-sentence. Journalists deal with this every day - separating opinion from evidence, listening to people they disagree with, and trying to get to the truth without losing their cool. Borrowing a few of their habits might make this year's gathering a little more bearable. Start with curiosity, not combat. The best reporters don't start with an agenda; they start with questions. Instead of jumping in with “That's not true,” try, “Where did you hear that?” or “Can you tell me more about that?” Or “What makes you say that?” You're not trying to win an argument (yet!) - you're trying to understand a perspective. And sometimes, just asking how someone knows what they know, or why they believe certain things reveals that they're not entirely sure themselves. Verify before you amplify. Journalists are trained skeptics. Before they publish, they confirm. Before you forward that post, do the same. Look up the original source. Check whether it's been reported elsewhere. Read past the headline. Some reliable, quick fact-checkers include PolitiFact, Snopes, and AP Fact Check. Or just check against other similar outlets. If a meme, video, or “breaking news” update seems too wild to be true, there's a good chance it is. Find common ground — and if you can't, find common values. Most people agree that communities should be safe, schools should work and the truth should matter. Find a way to get back to those greatest hits. When you start from what unites rather than what divides, conversations tend to soften. The goal isn't to change someone's mind in one meal; it's to remind each other that respectful disagreement still exists. Know when to take a pass the potatoes. Even journalists hit “pause” when an interview turns unproductive. You can, too. Not every debate has to end in resolution. Sometimes the best choice is to move on - or to shift the topic back to football, dessert, or literally anything less heated. Democracy thrives on engagement, but it also depends on civility. The church I went to for years had a saying that still sticks with me: “We agree to disagree - agreeably.” The dinner table, or the football game that follows, isn't the place to change every mind or solve every problem. But taking time to understand another person's perspective might be the start of something better - a little empathy, a little patience, maybe even a little peace.

Former Intel CEO Patrick Gelsinger has secured $110 million to develop "Christian AI" through his company, GLUE, hoping to accelerate the second coming of Christ with server farms instead of faith. The panel dissects this brazen attempt to hardwire theology into technology, arguing that this is merely lobbying with excessive tech money and a dangerous act of desperation. We explore how faith-driven AI restricts knowledge, shapes minds, and threatens secular democracy by pushing public policy further toward a costly and contradictory theocracy. Will a new algorithm erase millennia of biblical contradictions? We doubt it.News Source:Patrick Gelsinger Christian AIBy Adam Willems for The GuardianOctober 28th, 2025

Joe Rogan weighs in on the church, claiming people attend only to "better their lives." The panel dissects this rosy, misguided view, contrasting church community (which often manipulates vulnerable people) with true secular support. We challenge the notion that Jesus offered a "perfect way to live" and dive into the philosophical debate over whether divine permission makes humans more, or less, decent. Plus, we explore the explosive argument for the mythicist position on the historical Jesus. Theocratic claims crumble under critical scrutiny.News Source:Joe Rogan on Religion and ChristianityBy NewsNation Stafffor NewsNationOctober 29th, 2025

AP correspondent Charles de Ledesma reports the UN is concerned about Tehran's uranium stockpile.

A Massachusetts mayor decided to spend $850,000 in taxpayer funds to put up Catholic saint statues outside city buildings, claiming they are "secular demigods" invoked globally by first responders. This blatant blurring of church and state lines is drawing fire from citizens who recognize that religious icons, especially those specific to Catholicism, shouldn't be bankrolled by public funds. The move highlights the constant fight against theocratic creep, where religious privilege attempts to hijack government resources and spaces in violation of constitutional religious neutrality.News Source:Catholic statues, Quincy Massachusetts religious libertyBy Brianna J.

Misinformation is a growing problem, with most Americans worried about the reliability of online information. Dan Nottingham created Mi Credible.ai to help people navigate this landscape by providing a credibility score for statements. The tool uses multiple AI models to objectively analyze sources, offering a numerical score and an explanation so users can assess the accuracy of their content before sharing it. This approach helps reduce bias, promotes informed communication, and gives businesses and individuals a measurable way to maintain trust and credibility online. Mi Credible.ai can be used for business, social, and casual purposes, from validating marketing content to settling debates among friends. Users can input any statement to check its accuracy and receive a clear score, making credibility a key performance indicator. Nottingham envisions a future in which AI tools like this serve as impartial editors, helping people navigate misinformation with confidence. The platform is currently browser-based, with mobile apps in development, and encourages users to try it themselves to see how it can improve communication and decision-making. Quotes: “Everyone is a publisher, but not everyone is an editor. That's where credibility tools come in.” “Credibility shouldn't be a buzzword; it should be a KPI for your business.” “It's not enough to be right—you have to persuade.” Resources: Connect with Dan Nottingham on LinkedIn Credibility starts with you

We dig into Auburn's big idea: auction houses collaborating on a shared shill-bidder list to protect buyers and legit sellers. Chris explains how some marketplaces already purge unpaid sales from data, and why tougher KYC/AML-style identity checks could raise the bar. We also break down private sale transparency, when a headline price is really marketing spend, and how to contextualize comps so you don't get wrecked by bad data. Topics: Cross-auction shill blacklist & real penalties Fanatics sending unpaid-item removals; why more should do it KYC / AML-style identity verification for bidders—practical or pipe dream? Private sales: docs, names, paper trails, and fraud risk Comp literacy: float, intent, rarity, and why not all sales are equal PSA Offers, vault deals & what should count as a comp Disclaimer: Nothing here is financial or legal advice.

professorjrod@gmail.comA dead PC at the worst moment is a gut punch—unless you have a roadmap. We walk through the exact thinking that turns “no lights, no fans, no display” into a calm, step‑by‑step recovery, starting where every system truly begins: firmware. BIOS and UEFI aren't trivia; they decide how your machine discovers drives, validates bootloaders, and applies security like Secure Boot and TPM. That's why a simple post‑update check of boot order, storage mode, and firmware toggles can rescue a lab full of “no boot device” errors in minutes.From there, we get brutally honest about power. PSUs age, rails sag, and idle tests lie. You'll learn the outside‑in “power ladder,” why a line‑interactive UPS prevents ghost errors, and how unstable XMP profiles masquerade as OS problems. We demystify boot and drive failures—wrong boot entries, NVMe lane conflicts, cloning driver mismatches—and show how SMART data, free space, cooling, and firmware updates revive sluggish SSDs. Then we cut through RAID mythology: 0 for speed, 1 for uptime, 5 for read‑heavy with risk, 6 for double‑parity safety, and 10 for fast resilience. And we repeat the rule that saves careers: RAID is not backup. Verify restores, keep copies offsite or offline, and schedule tests before disaster strikes.Video issues get the practical treatment too. No display? Check inputs and connect to the discrete GPU, not the motherboard. Blurry or artifacting under load? Validate refresh rates, cables, thermals, and PSU capacity. We close with a field checklist and a case study where a quality PSU upgrade stabilized 3D renders instantly—proof that systems thinking beats screen-chasing every time. If you want a technician's mindset—evidence over assumptions, one variable at a time—this guide will sharpen your process and speed your fixes.If this helped you think like a tech, follow the show, share it with a teammate who's on call this week, and leave a quick review so more builders and troubleshooters can find it.Support the showIf you want to help me with my research please e-mail me.Professorjrod@gmail.comIf you want to join my question/answer zoom class e-mail me at Professorjrod@gmail.comArt By Sarah/DesmondMusic by Joakim KarudLittle chacha ProductionsJuan Rodriguez can be reached atTikTok @ProfessorJrodProfessorJRod@gmail.com@Prof_JRodInstagram ProfessorJRod

When you board a plane, you trust the pilot to get you safely to your destination. Shouldn't you be just as careful about who advises you on your financial future? Financial guidance isn't just about numbers—it's about trust, worldview, and values. The right advisor can help you make decisions that align with your faith and priorities.Every advisor brings a worldview to the table. Too often, cultural definitions of success revolve around accumulation alone. But biblical stewardship points higher—toward faithfulness, contentment, and generosity. That's why this choice is not only financial—it's spiritual. You're entrusting someone with influence over how you manage God's money, and that requires discernment.Clarify What You NeedBefore beginning your search, determine what type of help you're looking for. Do you need comprehensive planning—covering retirement, insurance, taxes, estate planning, and generosity—or just investment management? Do you want a one-time plan or an ongoing relationship? The clearer your goals, the easier it will be to evaluate fit.One of the most important questions to ask is whether your advisor is a fiduciary, legally obligated to put your interests first. Compensation models vary:Commission-based advisors earn by selling products, which may create conflicts of interest.Fee-based advisors charge fees but may also receive commissions.Fee-only advisors are paid solely by clients, helping ensure objectivity.No matter the model, insist on full transparency about fees and expenses.Credentials and CharacterCredentials demonstrate an advisor's training and licensing, but character matters just as much. Evaluate potential advisors in three areas:Values – Do they share your biblical worldview?Competence – Do they have the training and experience to serve families like yours?Process – Can they explain how they build a financial plan and how they are compensated?A Practical Process for Finding the Right AdvisorBuild a shortlist – Ask trusted friends, family, or church leaders for recommendations. Explore advisors who share biblical values, like Certified Kingdom Advisors® at FindaCKA.com.Do a background check – Verify licenses, review disclosure documents, and check for disciplinary history.Interview at least three advisors – Treat this like a job interview. You're hiring for a critical role.Request a written scope and fee schedule – Get clarity in writing.Pray and take your time – Don't let anyone pressure you into quick decisions.When meeting with potential advisors, ask:“How are you compensated? Please outline every fee and expense.”“What role does faith play in your financial advice, and how do you define success?”“What's your process for creating a financial plan or investment strategy?”Proverbs 11:14 reminds us: “Where there is no guidance, a people falls, but in an abundance of counselors there is safety.”Red Flags and Green LightsBe alert for warning signs such as:Promises of unrealistic performanceVague answers about feesPressure to move assets quicklyLook instead for encouraging signs:Transparent communicationA listening-first approachAdvice that integrates faith and family prioritiesThe right advisor depends on your season of life. Young families may need guidance on budgeting, insurance, and college savings, while retirees often seek tax-efficient withdrawals, income strategies, and estate planning. Ask potential advisors about their typical clients to see if their expertise aligns with your needs.Keeping Faith at the CenterA trusted advisor can help you avoid mistakes, manage taxes, stay disciplined during market swings, and design a generosity plan that reflects your calling. Most importantly, the right advisor will keep your focus on faithfulness, not just finances—helping you honor God with every decision.If you're ready to seek biblically wise financial advice, consider working with a Certified Kingdom Advisor®.
