We'd all love to be able to tackle parenting without yelling at kids, at some point most of us have tried it...likely it's a daily struggle.  After seeing various "stop yelling at kids forever" challenges, I started feeling like every day I was either a "good mom" or a "bad mom," depending on if I messed up and yelled or not.  Living life thinking I'm either good or bad, doesn't work for me, and it doesn't have to work for you either.  While I'll never promote yelling at kids, when it happens, I found some surprising truths that help me turn the situation into something positive. Rather than spiraling down the shame track after yelling, I now turn to these ideas that I share here in this podcast which will help you to; *be a positive example for your kids even in less than perfect times *turn any day into a good day even if you mess up and yell at kids *teach kids how to come back from mistakes they make *come closer to your kids  *promote more honest conversations with your kids *have days of more parenting without yelling, without all the pressure either winning or losing each day If those are things you are looking for more of in your life, and the 100% no yelling at kids isn't working for you, listen in and tell me how this helps you. 

Amanda and Jenn discuss all the short stories in this week's special episode of Get Booked! This episode is sponsored by Random House. Subscribe to the podcast via RSS here, or via Apple Podcasts here. The show can also be found on Stitcher here.   Questions   1. I am a librarian who runs a book club for teens, one that reads primarily science fiction/fantasy/magical realism. I am looking for short story collections that would appeal to the group. Previous hits with the groups include The Martian by Andy Weir, The Bone Season by Samantha Shannon, Jackaby by William Ritter, and Smoke and Mirrors by Neil Gaiman. --Alexandra   2. I've fallen in love with short stories through podcasts (like Levar Burton Reads or The Writers Voice). They're my favorite to listen to at work. I'd like some recommendations of must read authors or collections! More podcast recommendations wouldn't be amiss either. Thanks! -Catherine --Catherine   3. I normally hate short stories and have tried reading several collections hoping I could find a place for them in my heart. Most of the collections are YA and contain stories by various authors. While I'll like some of the stories, overall the reading experience isn't very good. Recently I decided to give another short story a try, so I read The Grownup by Gillian Flynn and it was not only the best short story I've ever read, but one of my favorite reads of the year. Can you recommend any short stories or collections that are similar to Gillian Flynn's writing or just have lots of twists and turns? Thanks! --Candice   4. Hello! Short stories are something I've always enjoyed writing, but I haven't read very many. I want to start to read them more so that my own writing will improve. The only short story I remember reading very vividly is The Lottery by Shirley Jackson. I read it in school and found it really brilliant. I'm looking for more literary style short stories that display the authors command of the prose and structure. Anthologies would be ideal, but I'm open to single story suggestions as well. Thanks! --Ira   5. Hi there- I've recently started reading short story and anthology collections, and I'm loving them. My recent favorite has been Paper Menagerie by Ken Liu. I'm interested in expanding into other genres though, but I'm having trouble finding many Sci-Fi/Fantasy collections. I've seen a number of Lovecraft's short story collections, but not much else. Especially not for Fantasy. Any recommendations for some action packed short stories? Bonus points for any possible YA fantasy short story collections- I found one recently and I'd love to find more! --Amber   6. Hi! I am a voracious reader and have really enjoyed listening to your recommendations since discovering your podcast :) My question... When reading fiction, I have historically preferred full-length books over short stories. However, I have recently read and loved several short story collections (Knockemstick by Donald Ray Pollack, Tenth of December by George Saunders, Five Carat Soul by James McBride), and now I want to expand my horizons in this category. What short story authors or collections would you recommend? I don't mind dark or creepy and the only genre I typically tend not to gravitate toward is romance. Thanks in advance! --Sally   7. Hello! I like reading short stories before bed-reading helps my mind unwind, but if a novel is too interesting I will stay up late reading rather than put it down. Short fiction has an obvious place to stop, but I’m running out of ideas to try next. I love Jhumpa Lahiri, and What it Means When a Man Falls From The Sky was Amazing. I also liked Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s collection of short stories, The Thing Around Your Neck. I read Carmen Maria Machado’s book, Her Body and Other Parties, as well as Helen Oyeyemi but found some of the stories too creepy for before bed. Do you have any more ideas for short fiction, ideally with a global perspective, that isn’t going to give me nightmares? Thank you! --Kara   Books Discussed The Merry Spinster by Mallory Ortberg (recently announced transition to Daniel, but book is listed under Mallory) A Gathering of Shadows by VE Schwab A Fine Summer's Day by Charles Todd Salsa Nocturna by Daniel José Older Slasher Girls and Monster Boys, incl. stories by Marie Lu and Leigh Bardugo and Kendare Blake What it Means When a Man Falls From the Sky by Lesley Nneka Arimah podcast: Reading Women Night at the Fiestas by Kirstin Valdez Quade We Show What We Have Learned by Clare Beams Troubled Daughters, Twisted Wives, edited by Sarah Weinman Her Body and Other Parties by Carmen Maria Machado Sorry Please Thank You by Charles Yu Tender by Sofia Samatar Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy 2017, edited by John Joseph Adams and Charles Yu Gutshot by Amelia Gray Unaccustomed Earth by Jhumpa Lahiri In the Country by Mia Alvar The Djinn Falls in Love And Other Stories edited by Mahvesh Murad and Jared Shurin

“My mission is to empower people to take control of their own health, well-being and fitness using simple breathing exercises proven to improve body oxygenation”. -Patrick McKeown Breathing. It's fundamental to human life, and we've been breathing air since moments after birth. It's so instinctual, we do it correctly right from the start - diaphragmatic breathing with the mouth closed. Like so many other aspects of life, though, many of us stray from this original, natural, and healthy behavior. According to Patrick McKeown, the derangement of our breathing process is at the root of many of the ills and ailments that are common today. Patrick McKeown is the author of seven books and the Director of Education and Training at the Buteyko Clinic International. The Buteyko method is a breathing technique used to help children and adults suffering from breathing problems including asthma, COPD, snoring, and sleep apnea as well as helping athletes improve performance. Click here for complete show notes, resources, and links from this episode. Listen - if there is one thing that you consider addressing this year in your physical performance, I suggest it be breathing. It's the most fundamental element of life - you can survive less than 5 minutes without taking a breath, and it may just be the most transforming in your health and well-being. Patrick has been teaching these breathing techniques to thousands of people over the past couple decades. Many have seen absolutely remarkable transformations - eliminating asthma, snoring, sleep apnea, improving the health of gums and teeth, changing jaw structure, reducing stress, improving performance. While I'll admit that Patrick's coaching to "breathe less" sounds absolutely crazy, after you hear the reasons why... and that your body actually does a better job at delivering oxygen to your tissues, you'll find yourself itching to learn more (as I did). I suggest sitting down with a pen and piece of paper to jot down notes, and to pick up a copy of his book as well. Enjoy!  

Auction professionals spend a lot of time working on their laptops and never know when disaster might strike. In this episode, host Aaron Traffas looks at preventative measures that can save both time and stress when, not if, a computer is broken or stolen.

Focusing on social media, marketing strategies, finance, operations, human resources, and time management, we provide focused discussions on important topics weekly. ----- Episode 190: Transcription Hello and welcome to the  Fast Talking Podcast. My name is Aaron Traffas and I'm excited to once again be your guest host for today's episode. We auctioneers store large amounts of important and sensitive information on our laptops. What happens to our work if our computer is broken or, worse, stolen? We'll examine two crucial preventative measures that will save us both time and stress in just a moment after a word from our sponsor. [sponsor] I wrote the article that inspired this episode recently for the Colorado Auctioneers Association quarterly newsletter which, this quarter, is focused on technology. After making sure we're using strong passwords, which was the topic of my last appearance on the Fast Talking Podcast, I feel that backup and encryption are the two next steps auctioneers need to make as we strive to make sure our data is secure and our work is safe.   It was 2007. NAA Conference and Show was in San Diego. My bags were packed in my truck. I swung by the office to grab my computer and other electronics that I'd need for the week in California. As I walked out the door for my two hour drive from Manhattan, Kansas, to the Kansas City airport, I realized I'd forgotten something. I sat my computer bag on the ground next to my pickup's passenger door and went back inside. When I returned, I got in my truck, cranked the wheel to the left and backed out, only to realize that my front tire just rolled over my laptop bag. My computer — and my mood — was crushed. I had unfinished work for upcoming auctions that I'd planned to do on the plane and I had no time before my flight to prep another computer. It made for an interesting and uncomfortable trip. Broken hardware is one thing, but what if I'd lost the computer? What if instead of picking up pieces off the ground, I was instead unsure of where it was? Had it fallen into malicious hands? Were all the accounts that I'd logged in to now at risk of being compromised? It's always better to know a computer is destroyed than to wonder if someone is combing through the data. The scenario is simple — at any time, you can suddenly lose your laptop. In order to make sure that the only cost to you is the value of the hardware, it's crucial that your computer is encrypted and backed up properly. Encryption Computer encryption can get very technical very quickly, but for our purposes it simply means a way of scrambling the data on the computer's hard drive so it can't be read by anyone who doesn't have the password. The password to login to Windows isn't enough, as it's fairly trivial to bypass. The correct solution is called full disk encryption, where everything on the computer is encrypted for everyone who doesn't have the password. For many years, the right answer for encryption was a product called TrueCrypt. It was free software and the encryption was bulletproof. A few years ago, the TrueCrypt project closed down. Luckily it's successor, called VeraCrypt, is also free and based on much of the same code base as TrueCrypt. Since it's open source, third parties have been able to audit the software to make sure there aren't backdoors or other ways for criminals or governments to bypass the encryption. Operating systems have their own versions of encryption. Windows has BitLocker and Apple has FileVault. While I'll always prefer a free and open source solution over one from an operating system provider, these solutions may be a good fit in some situations. Many modern laptops also provide built-in encryption options on the hardware level. Many of these might work as well as VeraCrypt, though there's no way to guarantee there isn't a backdoor. Sometimes, a laptop's password simply prevents the laptop from booting up and doesn't actually encrypt the data. This means someone could simply remove the hard drive and put it in another computer to access your files. Make sure if you're using a built-in password function on your laptop that it's actually encrypting the data. Only by using full disk encryption can you rest assured that if your computer falls into the wrong hands, all your data about your auctions, customers, clients and personal accounts won't be at risk. Entering a password every time you boot your computer is a small price to pay for that peace of mind. Backup Encryption prevents the bad guys from getting your data, but what about losing your work? If you drive over your laptop with the front wheel of a diesel pickup, how do you get your files off of a hard drive that's in pieces on the ground? In addition to the possibility of losing your computer, new viruses called ransomware actually encrypt your files and make you pay a ransom before giving you the key to decrypt them. A good backup solution can mitigate a ransomware infection by allowing you to restore the unencrypted versions of your files. There is a frequently recited rule of backup called 3-2-1. You need three copies of your data, on two different mediums and one needs to be offsite. Simply buying an external hard drive and copying your files there is better than nothing, but it's also grossly insufficient and inefficient. A good backup solution will run continually in the background, copying versions of  your files offsite as you create them, so you don't notice it until you need it. In much the way that TrueCrypt was the best answer for encryption, there was also a best answer for backup called Crashplan. Crashplan allowed users to backup to friends for free. I wrote on my AuctioneerTech blog in 2012 how this was a perfect backup solution that didn't have a monthly fee like most of the backup services. Unfortunately, a few weeks ago, Crashplan  announced that it's discontinuing its free version in October 2018. While I've been hunting for a replacement, it's unlikely that anything will be as simple as Crashplan to use without a monthly fee. There are still myriad subscription backup services. Some of the best known are Carbonite, Backblaze and Mozy, and each has a different pricing plan based on the amount of data to store and how many computers will be using the service. As you shop around for the best  deal, pay attention to the cost to get your data back. In 2011, I lost 2 terabytes of data that was backed up with Mozy. Only then did I learn that they charged $.50 per gigabyte to restore the data, and I had to come up with the $1000 within 30 days before my files were deleted. In the auction business, like any business, time is money. Some backup solution is better than nothing. In my search for a Crashplan replacement, I've found a lot of negative comments about Carbonite and a lot of positive comments about Backblaze, so if I were looking for a simple turn-key subscription backup service, I'd probably start with Backblaze. Wrap-up In summary, disaster happens when we least expect it. We need to take steps now to ensure that when, not if, we lose a computer, it might cost us money to replace the device but it doesn't cost us time to recreate all our work or, worse, cost us sleep worrying about who might have our data and what he or she might be doing with it.

Sometimes I get cranky. I might be stressed out or upset about something that has gone wrong or perhaps I have a lot on my mind that saddens or concerns me. When that occurs I'm not my typical effervescent self. I get kind of quiet and retreat into myself needing to be left alone. My husband may be in the mood to chat or perhaps he needs to unload about the horrendous day he just had at work. While I'll usually accommodate him, when I'm cranky I don't really want to be bothered.
