Excess skin on the top of the arms is very common with aging and weight loss. In most cases an arm lift (aka Brachioplasty) is the only real option for getting rid of the extra skin. Having an arm lift is a big decision so Dr. Martin and Amy are here to tell you everything you need to know before having this transformative procedure. Questions to ask your surgeon at your consultation: Are you certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery? Do you perform surgery at an accredited facility? What specific training to you have in brachioplasty techniques? Am I a good candidate for this procedure? What surgical technique is recommended for me? What are the risks and possible complications? How are complications handled? Will weight loss/gain/pregnancy alter my results? What can I do to maximize my recovery and results? What kind of help will I need during my recovery and for how long will I need assistance after surgery? How can I expect my arms to look/age over time? What are the options if I am dissatisfied with my outcome? Do you have pictures of results that are reasonable for me to expect?

In today's episode, Danielle Hayden, CPA and founder of Kickstart Accounting, Inc., dives into a topic that every small business owner needs to take seriously: cybersecurity. As entrepreneurs, we're focused on growth, profitability, and strategy, but all of that hard work can be put at risk in an instant if we fall victim to cyber threats. A single phishing email, password breach, or scam can lead to lost revenue, stolen data, and massive headaches (and let's be real, none of us have time for that!). But don't worry, we've got you covered! Danielle breaks down the biggest cybersecurity threats facing small businesses and shares simple, practical steps to keep your business and finances safe. Key Takeaways:  Phishing Emails & Texts Are Everywhere: Be on the lookout for fake DocuSign requests, “unpaid” toll or shipping texts, gift card scams, and urgent wire transfer emails. If something feels off, don't click! Verify directly with the sender outside of the potential scam text or email before doing anything and immediately report it. Scammers Want You to Act Fast: Cybercriminals rely on urgency to trick you into clicking malicious links or sharing sensitive information; slow down and verify before taking action. Strong Passwords & Two-Step Authentication Are Essential: Using unique passwords and enabling two-step authentication makes it harder for hackers to gain access to your accounts. Yes, it's annoying but it's worth it! Backup Your Data to the Cloud: Use Google Drive or Microsoft OneDrive for automatic backups so that if your device is compromised, your business documents are safe and easily recoverable. Trust Your Gut & Double-Check Everything: If you weren't expecting an email, text, or request for money or information, take a moment to verify before you click or send anything! It's always okay to say no and follow up through a secure method. Topics Discussed: Common Cyber Scams Targeting Small Businesses (00:01:06 – 00:03:24) How to Spot and Avoid Phishing Emails and Text Scams (00:03:24 – 00:04:53) Best Practices for Password Security and Two-Step Authentication (00:04:53 – 00:06:42) Why Backing Up Your Business Data is Critical (00:06:42 – 00:07:43) The Power of Slowing Down and Verifying Before You Click (00:07:43 – 00:09:18) Recap of Cybersecurity Steps to Take (00:09:18 - 00:10:51)   Book a Call with Kickstart Accounting, Inc.: https://www.kickstartaccountinginc.com/book    Connect with Kickstart Accounting, Inc.: Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/Kickstartaccounting YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/@businessbythebooks  Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/kickstartaccountinginc

There are many things that can impact your ability to become pregnant. In today's episode, I'm reviewing the top 10 things to consider if you are TTC.    1. Environmental Toxins. Avoid microwaving food and plastic containers or bottles. Always store food and glass or stainless steel containers. Million Marker offers a test to find out if you have in-body toxicity. 2. Chemicals in food and everyday products. Verify that the products you are using are chemical free. You can do that on https://www.ewg.org/ 3. Being sedentary. The CDC and American College of OBGYN, both recommend exercise in amounts of 150 minutes per week. Avoid over exercising, as low BMI can also cause fertility issues. 4. Food allergies or intolerances. Work with a nutritionist to find out if you have a food allergy or other food intolerance. You may also want to consider working with a specialist if you have PCOS or using Pollie.co to help you manage PCOS if you have it. 5. Blocked Fallopian Tubes. Check with your doctor to find out if this is what may be causing you to have a hard time TTC. 6. THC and Cannabinoids can affect the motility of the fallopian tube and the receptors in the lining of the uterus. This makes embryo implantation harder and it might not happen as quickly as you would want. 7. Nicotine. Nicotine can affect the DNA and the egg in the sperm cells, and it can also affect a woman's fertility such that she could go potentially into menopause earlier. 8. Blaming birth control pills. Many people think that birth control pills "cause" infertility, but the truth is that because they regulate your period they may be masking the indicators of infertility. Make sure you get your hormone levels checked with your doctor every year to confirm your levels.  9. Ignoring biology. Every woman is born with a finite number of eggs, and if you want to wait to have kids until later in life, be sure and freeze your eggs when you are in your 20s.  10. Not getting enough sleep.    Listen on Dr. Aimee's website.   Curious about IVF? Click here to join Dr. Aimee for The IVF Class.

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. Transferring Large Data Sets Very large data sets present their own problems. Not everyone has directories with hundreds of gigabytes of project files, but I do, and I assume I'm not the only one. For instance, I have a directory with over 700 radio shows, many of these directories also have a podcast, and they also have pictures and text files. Doing a properties check on the directory I see 450 gigabytes of data. When I started envisioning Libre Indie Archive I wanted to move the directories into archival storage using optical drives. My first attempt at this didn't work because I lost metadata when I wrote the optical drives since optical drives are read only. After further work and study I learned that tar files can preserve meta data if they are created and uncompressed as root. In fact, if you are running tar as root preserving file ownership and permissions is the default. So this means that optical drives are an option if you write tar archives onto the optical drives. I have better success rates with 25 GB Blue Ray Discs than with the 50 GB discs. So, if your directory breaks up into projects that fit on 25 GB discs, that's great. My data did not do this easily but tar does have an option to write a data set to multiple tar files each with a maximum size, labelling them -0 -1, etc. When using this multi volume feature you cannot use compression. So you will get tar files, not tar.gz files. It's better to break the file sets up in more reasonable sizes so I decided to divide the shows up alphabetically by title, so all the shows starting with the letter a would be one data set and then down the alphabet, one letter at a time. Most of the letters would result in a single tar file labeled -0 that would fit on the 25 GB disc. Many letters, however, took two or even three tar files that would have to be written on different disks and then concatenated on the primary system before they are extracted to the correct location in primaryfiles. There is a companion program to tar, called tarcat, that I used to combine 2 or 3 tar files split by length into a single tar file that could be extracted. I ran engrampa as root to extract the files. So, I used a tar command on the working system where my Something Blue radio shows are stored. Then I used K3b to burn these files onto a 25 GB Blu Ray Disc carefully labeling the discs and writing a text file that I used to keep up with which files I had already copied to Disc. Then on the Libre Indie Archive primary system I copied from the Blu Ray to the boot drive the file or files for that data set. Then I would use tarcat to combine the files if there was more than one file for that data set. And finally I would extract the files to primaryfiles by running engrampa as root. Now I'm going to go into details on each of these steps. First make sure that the Libre Indie Archive program, prep.sh, is in your home directory on your workstation. Then from the data directory to be archived, in my case the something_blue directory run prep.sh like this. ~/prep.sh This will create a file named IA_Origin.txt that lists the date, the computer and directory being archived, and the users and userids on that system. All very helpful information to have if at some time in the future you need to do a restore. Next create a tar data set for each letter of the alphabet. (You may want to divide your data set in a different way.) Open a terminal in the same directory as the data directory, my something_blue directory, so that ls displays something_blue (your data directory). I keep the Something Blue shows and podcasts in subdirectories in the something_blue directory. Here's the tar command. Example a: sudo tar -cv --tape-length=20000000 --file=somethingblue-a-{0..50}.tar /home/larry/delta/something_blue/a* This is for the letter a so the --file parameter includes the letter a. The numbers 0..50 in the squirelly brackets are the sequence numbers for the files. I only had one file for the letter a, somethingblue-a-0.tar. The last parameter is the source for the tar files, in this case /home/larry/delta/something_blue/a* All of the files and directories in the something_blue directory that start with the letter a. You may want to change the --tape-length parameter. As listed it stores up to 19.1 GB. The maximum capacity of a 25 GB Blu-ray is 23.3GB for data storage. Example b: For the letter b, I ended up with three tar files. somethingblue-b-0.tarsomethingblue-b-1.tarsomethingblue-b-2.tar I will use these files in the example below using tarcat to combine the files. I use K3b to burn Blu-Ray data discs. Besides installing K3b you have to install some other programs and then there is a particular setup that needs to be done including selecting cdrecord and no multisession. Here's an excellent article that will go step by step through the installation and setup. How to burn Blu-ray discs on Ubuntu and derivatives using K3b? https://en.ubunlog.com/how-to-burn-blu-ray-discs-on-ubuntu-and-derivatives-using-k3b/ I also always check Verify data and I use the Linux/Unix file system, not windows which will rename your files if the filenames are too long. I installed a Blu-Ray reader into the primary system and I used thunar to copy the files from the Blu-Ray Disc to the boot drive. In the primaryfiles directory I make a subdirectory, something_blue, to hold the archived shows. If there is only one file, like in example a above, you can skip the concatenation step. If there is more than one file, like Example b above, you use tarcat to concatenate these files into one tar file. You have to do this. If you try to extract from just one of the numbered files when there is more than one you will get an error. So if I try to extract from somethingblue-b-0.tar and I get an error it doesn't mean that there's anything wrong with that file. It just has to be concatenated with the other b files before it can be extracted. There is a companion program to tar called tarcat that should be used to concatenate the tar files. Here's the command I used for example b, above. tarcat somethingblue-b-0.tar somethingblue-b-1.tar somethingblue-b-2.tar > sb-b.tar This will concatenate the three smaller tar files into one bigger tar file named sb-b.tar In order to preserve the meta data you have to extract the files as root. In order to make it easier to select the files to be extracted and where to store them I use the GUI archive manager, engrampa. To run engrampa as root open a terminal with CTRL-ALT t and use this command sudo -H engrampa Click Open and select the tar file to extract. Then follow the path until you are in the something_blue directory and you are seeing the folders and files you want to extract. Type Ctrl a to select them all. (instead of the something_blue directory you will go to your_data directory) Then click Extract at the top of the window. Open the directory where you want the files to go. In my case, primaryfiles/something_blue Then click Extract again in the lower right. After the files are extracted go to your data directory in primaryfiles and check that the directories and files are where you expect them to be. You can also open a terminal in that directory and type ls -l to review the meta data. When dealing with data chunks sized 20 GB or more each one of these steps takes time. The reason I like using an optical disk backup to transfer the files from the working system to Libre Indie Archive is because it gives me an easy to store backup that is not on a spinning drive and that cannot be overwritten. Still optical disk storage is not perfect either. It's just another belt to go with your suspenders. Another way to transfer directories into the primaryfiles directory is with ssh over the network. This is not as safe as using optical disks and it also does not provide the extra snapshot backup. It also takes a long time but it is not as labor intensive. After I spend some more time thinking about this and testing I will do a podcast about transferring large data sets with ssh. Although I am transferring large data sets to move them into archival storage using Libre Indie Archive there are many other situations where you might want to move a large data set while preserving the meta data. So what I have written about tar files, optical discs, and running thunar and engrampa as root is generally applicable. As always comments are appreciated. You can comment on Hacker Public Radio or on Mastodon. Visit my blog at home.gamerplus.org where I will post the show notes and embed the Mastodon thread for comments about thie podcast.

Ash and Kane share how brands and podcasters can find the right match with sponsorship. They reveal what both advertisers and podcasters can leverage to get the sponsorship right, including how brands can find the perfect audience match and how podcasters can position themselves to attract ideal sponsors. KEY TAKEAWAYS Relevance trumps reach when choosing podcasts to sponsor. Find niche shows where your target audience aligns rather than mass-market podcasts with scattered audiences. Look for creators who are famous to a few in their specific niche, as their recommendations hold significant weight with followers who trust their opinion. Average viewer duration matters more than view count. Ensure audiences actually consume the portions where your ad will appear before investing. Research what competitors a podcaster has previously endorsed. Multiple competing sponsors can signal audience recommendation fatigue and can mean your ad won’t be as effective. Always listen to a podcaster's previous ad reads to evaluate their authenticity. The way they deliver ads for other brands indicates how they'll represent yours too. Long term partnerships are a strong signal for success, try and prioritise podcasters who maintain ongoing relationships with sponsors. Verify audience demographics for legitimacy, unusual geographic distributions (like a US business podcast with 60% Indian listeners) could indicate buying followers. Sponsors earned $4.90 for every dollar spent on podcast advertising last year. You're not just buying ad space, you're purchasing years of established trust between host and audience. BEST MOMENTS " The sentiment of this episode is relevance, not reach.” "Someone said to Matt, 'whatever you recommend, I just buy' what a fucking endorsement that is. If you're a brand, you can find your specific audience and then find who is the person that they all know in that space and trust the opinion of." "Even if you have a script, you can make a script sound not like a script." "Do they work with their partners in a way where they genuinely endorse the product and genuinely are trying to get results for them?" "On average, last year, sponsors make $4.90 for every dollar they spend. So it's a great place to be in and for the brand's benefit, you are buying trust that would normally take you years to build."

Bitcoin initially surged to $92,000 after President Donald Trump announced plans for a U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. However, the rally was short-lived as investors quickly realized the executive order did not clarify how the government would acquire more Bitcoin.

What steps should you take if you suspect your identity has been stolen?We are joined by guest Victor Russell, Operations Manager at Apprisen, to explore the pervasive issue of financial scams and how individuals can protect themselves. The discussion covers various scams, primarily targeting seniors, such as the "grandparent scam" where victims are manipulated into sending money continuously until they realize they have been deceived. Another prevalent scam involves romance, where lonely individuals are exploited into giving money, leading to severe financial repercussions like unmanageable debts.Russell underscores the importance of regularly obtaining a credit report to defend against identity theft, given the frequency of database breaches. He recommends using AnnualCreditReport.com to obtain detailed reports from the three major agencies.To add another layer of protection, Russell recommends freezing credit reports, which can prevent unauthorized loans but must be unfrozen before applying for new personal loans.Victor advises against responding to unsolicited digital communications, especially those with suspicious links, as they are often scams. Government agencies like the IRS and the Social Security Administration do not request sensitive information via email or phone.He also stresses the importance of younger individuals being cautious about their online presence, sharing an example involving his daughters and potentially compromising online content. Support this Podcast For those who fall victim to identity theft, Russell outlines a process: contact financial institutions and credit card companies notify the Social Security office file a police report. ftc.gov and the AARP Fraud Watch Line assist identity theft victimsSocial Security Administration and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau also offer support.Apprisen, the organization Russell represents, is a non-profit agency providing a range of financial services for over 70 years, including debt management, credit health education, housing counseling, and assistance with student loan management.

Key Takeaways:Be very cautious of deals with extremely high cap rates (over 10%), as there are likely underlying issues with the property or tenant.Thoroughly vet the seller and ensure they are the actual owner of the property before proceeding. Verify ownership through title work.Conduct thorough due diligence, including a Phase 1 environmental study, to uncover any potential problems or liabilities.Have a commercial real estate attorney review all lease and purchase documents carefully before moving forward.Work with reputable title and escrow companies, not directly with the seller, to protect yourself from potential scams.Ensure the tenant's financials and business model make sense for the high rent being paid, as it may not be sustainable.

Language Failure: How Words Shape Our RealityA Long-Form Summary of the PodcastOpening Hook: The Illusion of RealityImagine walking through downtown San Francisco. On your phone, you see pristine streets and a bustling city. But when you look up, the reality is starkly different—crumbling infrastructure, vacant storefronts, and widespread urban decay. This isn't an episode of Black Mirror; it's what happened in 2023 when San Francisco created a Potemkin village—a facade meant to impress foreign dignitaries while hiding the city's deeper issues.This phenomenon isn't just about urban aesthetics; it signals something deeper: the failure of language to accurately reflect reality. When we manipulate language, we manipulate perception, and when perception detaches from truth, society begins to collapse.The San Francisco example proves that we know what a functional city looks like—we can manufacture an illusion of order when necessary—but we don't maintain it. Instead, we mask the problem rather than solving it. This mirrors the broader theme of the podcast: language, like infrastructure, is breaking down, and instead of repairing it, we disguise its failure with illusions.The Problem: The Breakdown of RealityWhat happens when our words and perceptions no longer match reality?We see this in:Infrastructure decay: Baltimore's bridge collapse, failing subway systems, and deteriorating roads.Media and distraction: Instead of addressing problems, we divert our attention—scrolling through TikTok instead of engaging with real-world issues.Social and political discourse: Headlines inflame emotions, but we rarely engage with the underlying facts.We live in a loop of anxiety and escape, toggling between existential threats and dopamine-fueled distractions. This is not just modern life—it's a historical pattern that has preceded societal collapse before.Historical Warning Signs: Orwell, Cuenco, and the Soviet UnionMost people remember 1984 for its themes of surveillance and thought control. But Orwell also illustrated a world where physical reality itself was decaying—the elevators don't work, the food rations shrink, and yet, the Party insists everything is improving.Michael Cuenco builds on this idea in his 2021 essay, Victory Is Not Possible, arguing that today's culture wars function in the same way as Orwell's language control. The ruling elite isn't just lying—it's actively shrinking language, making dissent impossible because people lack the vocabulary to express opposition.The Soviet Union offers another chilling parallel. Adam Curtis's documentary, HyperNormalisation, explores how, in the USSR's final years, everyone knew the official narrative was false—record-breaking harvests were announced while store shelves were empty. But rather than resist, people played along, creating a world where fantasy replaced reality.The result? A world where illusions become more real than facts. People, exhausted by the gap between truth and propaganda, retreated into cynicism, vodka, and pop culture.Today, we are experiencing a similar detachment from reality—not through authoritarian control, but through semantic drift, emotional manipulation, and digital distractions.The Mechanism: How Language Becomes UntetheredHow does language lose its connection to reality? Through concept creep and false logic.Concept Creep (Semantic Drift)Words broaden in meaning, diluting their original precision.Example: Trauma once meant a physical wound (1850s), but by 1895, William James and Freud extended it to psychological wounds. Today, it describes any discomfort—I was traumatized by cold coffee.Hyperbole and Semantic InflationOveruse weakens terms: Abuse now includes neglect, fascism is applied to trivial disagreements, bullying can refer to mere criticism.Example: Courage once meant facing real danger, but now can mean avoiding offense.Semantic InversionWords flip in meaning—what was once good can become bad and vice versa.Example: Freedom increasingly means freedom from reality and consequences rather than actual agency.When words become unanchored from objective meaning, they create ideological vacuums—leaving us drifting like astronauts in space, weightless, disconnected, and incapable of grappling with reality.The Ladder of False Logic: How We Convince Ourselves of LiesThe Ladder of Inference, or false logic, explains how we trick ourselves into believing distorted realities:Observable Facts – A politician says, Education is declining despite higher spending.Selected Data – You focus on a single phrase that confirms your bias.Interpretation – This sounds like something a dictator would say.Assumption – They must have a hidden agenda.Conclusion – They're trying to destroy public education.Belief – They are evil and must be stopped.Action – Post an outraged rant online, comparing them to Hitler.Each step takes you further from reality—until your worldview becomes purely ideological, detached from objective facts.At this point, we are radicals—not because of some external manipulation, but because we self-radicalized through unchecked emotional reasoning.The Philosophical Root: Kant's Detachment from RealityMatthew Crawford critiques Immanuel Kant, arguing that his philosophy set the stage for modern detachment from reality.Kant suggested true freedom means acting according to self-imposed rational laws, independent of external influences.This led to a view of reality as subjective—where internal logic overrides external truth.Instead of grounding ourselves in the real world, we live in a mental space station, floating free but becoming increasingly weak and incapable of dealing with reality.Astronauts in zero gravity may enjoy their detachment, but their bones and muscles deteriorate. Likewise, the more detached we are from reality, the weaker our ability to engage with it becomes.Contemporary Crisis: The Illusion EconomyModern financial markets and politics operate not on productivity or value, but on perception and emotion.Stocks rise and fall based on optimism, not output.Presidential campaigns are waged on vibes, not policy.Social movements focus on interpretations rather than material outcomes.In San Francisco, the government hid homelessness rather than solving it. This is how language manipulation replaces action.When words detach from material reality, truth becomes contingent, and society drifts into ideological orbit.The Challenge of Re-Entry: Reclaiming RealityHow do we return from orbit and reconnect words with truth?Verify personally – Base beliefs on direct observation, not media narratives.Reality-check assumptions – Climb down the ladder of inference before reacting.Resist semantic drift – Demand precision in language.Closing: The Fight for TruthWe are at a turning point. We can either continue floating in ideological orbit, or we can re-enter reality.Re-entry is painful. It requires effort, humility, and engagement with the material world—but it's necessary.In the next episode, we'll explore specific tools for resisting semantic drift and maintaining a clear connection to reality.Until then, stay grounded.
