Happy Black History Month everybody. To kick off this month I wanted to start with a story of one of my favourite African queens Yaa Asantewaa. Yaa Asantewaa was not born to be a leader but when her brother appointed her to the important position of queen mother it thrusted her into a world of complicated politics and a war against the British. Today she's remembered in the modern nation of Ghana as a hero and I'm so excited to present her story this month. Come join me to learn about this badass gun wielding queen on today's episode.

When twenty-year-old Walter Brooks was found dead from a bullet to the head on Valentine's Day 1902, suspicion immediately fell on Brooks' nineteen-year-old sometimes-girlfriend, Florence Burns. The two were known to have a tumultuous relationship and had fought violently on the morning of his death, and there was considerable evidence indicating that Burns had been in the hotel room at the time of Brooks' murder. However, despite all the evidence indicating guilt, Florence Burns was never brought to trial for Brooks' murder or even formally charged with a crime, and Walter Brooks murder officially remains an unsolved case in New York.While the story of Walter Brooks and Florence Burns is relatively uncomplicated in terms of the crime around which the story is built, the story is a remarkable illustration of the ways in which things like class, gender, and technological advances can influence and even shape how the law is applied in the United States. Indeed, at the time of the murder, the nation was undergoing incredibly social and cultural changes as a result of dramatically expanded transportation and communication technology, giving rise to a youth culture the likes of which had never been seen in the nation prior. That youth culture and the rebelliousness it produced in many young wealthy Americans played a direct role, not only in Walter's life and death, but also in the socio-cultural perspectives and Victorian beliefs that allowed Florence to get away with murder.Thank you to the wondrous Dave White of Bring me the Axe Podcast & 99 Cent Rental for Research!ReferencesEvening World. 1902.

When it opened in 1894, the Preston School of Industry represented a change in how criminal offenders and wards of the state were treated in American society, shifting towards a more compassionate mission of reform over punishment.

In a conversation with CancerNetwork®, Rakshanda Rahman, MD, FRCS, FACS, discussed a wide range of surgical therapy strategies and other developments in the breast cancer space, ranging from factors that should be considered for surgical decision-making to the evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) in the field. Rahman, a professor of Breast Surgical Oncology at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center and the medical director of UMC Cancer Center, spoke about challenges associated with barriers to treatment, stating how some patients, particularly those residing in rural counties, may not have sufficient access to the latest technologically advanced care as those in other communities. She also emphasized the value of giving early breast cancer screenings to patients to match them with appropriate systemic therapies. “We need to keep increasing the advocacy towards screening for patients,” Rahman said. “There are still a lot of misgivings in people's minds. They may be scared of radiation or do not have time; there are lots of reasons why people choose to not have a screening. Nothing makes a bigger difference to mortality from breast cancer like screening does. All these advancements are great, but if patients do one thing, they should get screened.” Rahman also discussed her adoption of a genomic profiling test at her clinic to more accurately predict patients who may benefit from treatment with chemotherapy or endocrine therapy. Additionally, she spoke to the use of advanced screening technologies that allow for the detection of tiny tumors, although this may present some logistical challenges for surgically removing a tumor of that size. She also highlighted her use of MOLLI®, a magnetic device that she said has produced quicker operating times compared with a standard wire-based procedure. With respect to AI, Rahman said that processing blood tests with an algorithm may help identify genes that could affect a patient's disease, thereby allowing practices to discern what makes a tumor develop resistance. Additionally, certain AI tools may reduce the number of imaging tests needed for a patient, thus reducing health care costs in the process. However, Rahman cautioned that these AI programs should be used responsibly, as to not replace the “human connection” that underscores the doctor/patient relationship.  Reference MOLLI: precision surgery made simpler.

In a recent discussion with CancerNetwork®, Joleen Hubbard, MD, research collaborator with Mayo Clinic and deputy director for clinical research at Allina Health Cancer Institute in Minneapolis, Minnesota, discussed new opportunities for patients with colorectal cancer (CRC).   In the discussion, Hubbard highlighted the potential of trastuzumab deruxtecan-nxki (Enhertu; T-DXd) in patients with HER2-expressing metastatic CRC based on studies including the phase 2 DESTINY-CRC01 trial (NCT03384940), which assessed the efficacy and safety of the agent in those who progressed after 2 or more prior regimens.1  These trials may play a role in continuing HER2 inhibition downstream after the FDA approval of trastuzumab (Herceptin) plus tucatinib (Tukysa) in patients with metastatic HER2-positive CRC.2   Hubbard also discussed the phase 3 MOUNTAINEER-03 study (NCT03043313) and its effects in the CRC space.3 This trial assessed the safety and efficacy of frontline tucatinib and trastuzumab in patients with treatment-refractory, RAS wild-type, HER2-positive metastatic CRC. Primary endpoints for this analysis showed a clinically meaningful overall response rate of 38.1% and a median duration of response of 12.4 months. Additionally, the treatment combination was well tolerated.   She said she is “optimistic” that moving HER2-directed therapy to the first-line setting, as seen in the MOUNTAINEER-03 study, may help outcomes for patients with metastatic CRC.  “It's a very exciting space,” Hubbard said. “Because it's only 5% to 8% of patients [who have CRC], it may not get as much attention, but there's 150,000 new cases of [CRC] diagnosed each year. So, 5% to 8% of that is a large number of patients [whom] we need to be looking at, studying, and potentially impact with these treatments.”  References  Yoshino T, Di Bartolomeo M, Raghav K, et al.

BrainWaves is an academic audio podcast whose mission is to educate medical providers through clinical cases and topical reviews in neurology, medicine, and the humanities, and episodes originally aired from 2016 to 2021. Originally released: March 5, 2020 Generalized weakness is a common complaint. Much of the time, we as neurologists don't even see these patients in the hospital or the clinic. But more often than not, “generalized” weakness may be the only way a patient describes difficulty brushing their hair or climbing stairs. In these situations, it's not exactly generalized weakness. It's something else. This week on BrainWaves, we review the major patterns of weakness that characterize the most common muscle disorders. With a quick review of EMG findings.

When you think about self-care, the term itself implies that it's just about one person...you. But actually, that doesn't tell the whole story. As we move through our lives, we're supported by stilts. Like a house on the water, you might not always see them holding you up, but you couldn't be there without them. Those stilts are the hands of your community. Friends, family, partners, and pets, some are just ships passing in the night, while others remain steadfast throughout our lives. Particularly when the seas feel choppy and life changes course with little warning, those steady hands become our path to sanctuary. They keep us connected to our roots, and they are what guide us back home to self. This week, Karlee invites you to take respite in the wisdom of Tanika Ray, a pop culture & lifestyle specialist with a holistic view of the cross sections of culture. Her podcast, Mamaste, is a sanctuary for the mommy collective. There, she fosters community and amplifies wellness, self-love, self-care, life lessons, and unapologetic boundaries.In this episode, you'll hear how becoming a mother profoundly shifted Tanika's perspective about what's important, and how it changed her definition of rest. She shares detailed insights from her upbringing, telling the story of her search for authentic community and for her truth, starting from the inside out. Rest can often feel like a defiant act of self-care. But sanctuary needs stilts. If you're ready to find sanctuary and claim the space you need to come “home” to yourself, then this episode - and this community- are for you.

The murders of Billy Payne and Billie Jean Hayworth were incredibly senseless. The case would end up being dubbed "The Facebook Murders" because of an ongoing feud between the victims and a woman named Jenelle Potter who had moved to their small town years earlier. Strangely enough, all three had been part of the same friend group at one time, but unreciprocated romantic feelings would tear the friend group apart. The case would involve catfishing, manipulation, Facebook.... and even the CIA.Thank you to the astounding David White for research assistance ReferencesDiaz, Joseph, and Alexa Valiente. 2015.

On March 4th, 1999 the body of Cordell Richards was found in Fort Walton Beach, Florida. The man had been absolutely brutalized. He was tied to a tree, beaten, burned, and had his throat cut. The medical examiner notices something strange though; he found maggots present at the scene but some of them had been charred. This meant that the man had likely been burned after his body had already begun decomposing. Why would the killer(s) come back after the fact?

Do you feel overwhelmed? Frustrated? Rested enough? Success takes work. A lot of it. And you're probably feeling the side effects of it in your body right now. But ask yourself this…are you successful by your own definition, or sometimes, does it feel like someone else's? With so many converging definitions, how do you make sure you're staying true to your own inherent values? Or should we back up…Do you know what those values are? This week, Karlee taps into the wisdom and experience of mindset coach Meredith Brisson. Through her work, Meredith helps equestrians hone in on their values, helping them learn how to work with their emotions rather than fight against them. By learning how to find their definition of success, they can embrace their true nature both on and off the track. In this episode, you'll learn what the highly intuitive nature of working with horses teaches us about finding balance and connecting with our actual values. You'll start to identify whose values you're really living by, and whether or not those values are leading you toward your goals- or potentially on a wild goose chase to a destination not of your choosing. Finally, you'll learn how to successfully use your hard-won grit to find more balance, more time for rest, and offer yourself more grace. If you're ready to untangle your definition of success and get more deeply in tune with values that are truly your own, then this episode is for you.

Dispelling Brain Health Misunderstandings: A Response to Joe Rogan and Max Lugavere

This episode is dedicated to clarification of a podcast between Joe Rogan and Max Lugavere, two popular influencers that have a large audience. They discussed Alzheimer's disease and brain health in general and some of the information that was shared was not accurate, which can be really harmful. This is by no means an attack on Rogan or Lugavere. After listening to the conversation, we think Lugavere may not be quite familiar with the data regarding brain health, and it would be important to set the record straight and share the evidence with people and let them decide what's best for them. Having seen thousands of patients with dementia, whether it's Alzheimer's disease, frontotemporal lobe dementia, Lewy Body Dementia and others, we feel it's our responsibility to share evidence based data as opposed to feel-good, self confirming anecdotes.

The MCG Pediatric Podcast

Did you know that the leading cause of monocular vision loss for people of all ages can only be prevented by intervening in early childhood? Amblyopia, or decreased vision from lack of visual stimulation, affects about 3-5% of children and can lead to permanent vision loss if not treated by the age of 8. Dr. Stephanie Goei, a pediatric ophthalmologist, joins medical students Lindsay Berman and Joanne Thomas to discuss detection, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of amblyopia in infancy and early childhood. Specifically, they will cover how to: Recognize common history and physical exam findings associated with amblyopia. Formulate a differential diagnosis for visual deficits in children. Appreciate the importance of vision screenings as part of regular wellness visits. Understand the initial diagnostic approach to amblyopia. Recognize when to refer patients with visual deficits to a pediatric ophthalmologist. Acknowledge how the approach to treatment of amblyopia depends on the specific etiology.

Episode 78: Infantile Hemangioma. Dr Shelat discusses with Dr Schlaerth and Dr Arreaza the definition, pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment of infantile hemangioma.___________________________Infantile Hemangioma. By Tejal Shelat, MD (Lady Hardinge Medical College). Discussed with Katherine Schlaerth, MD; and Hector Arreaza, MD.   This is Rio Bravo qWeek, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California. Our program is affiliated with UCLA, and it's sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. What is infantile hemangioma?Infantile hemangioma is vascular overgrowth that leads to tangled blood vessels that appear as a reddish plaque on the skin as early as days to weeks after birth.  It is the most common benign vascular tumor in infants, with a prevalence of 4-5% in mature neonates and is about 2.5 times more common in female (ratio female:male is 3:1) and Caucasian children.  Risk factors: There are several risk factors, including prematurity, low birth weight less than 1000g, family history of infantile hemangioma, placental anomalies, and eclampsia. Progression of infantile hemangioma. Hemangiomas typically undergo three phases:First is the proliferation phase that occurs between 0 to 6 months of age, with about 80% growing to their final size by age 3 months. During this time there is growth of a bright red, soft, raised, non-blanching plaque that is visible on the skin. This occurs to due proliferation of rapidly dividing endothelial cells in the blood vessels.This is followed by a plateau phase.Next is the involution phase, that occurs after 6 months of age. The lesion/s now turn deep red or violet and spontaneously begin to regress in size. Pathogenesis. Several hypotheses have been described to explain the reason behind the occurrence of hemangiomas. We now know that they occur due to dysregulation in angiogenesis and vasculogenesis.  The most likely trigger is thought to be hypoxia, which induces transcription of the Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) gene, leading to overexpression of angiogenic factors such as VEGF. This leads to differentiation of endothelial cells, influx of other cells such as mast cells, myeloid cells and also tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs). Regression.  The mast cells produce interferon and transforming growth factor, which, along with the TIMPs that we just talked about all work together to halt the proliferation of endothelial cells. The endothelial cells then become senescent and that leads to passive involution of the hemangioma. Diagnosis. The diagnosis of infantile hemangiomas is clinical. If you are not familiar with how a hemangioma looks, search in your favorite dermatology atlas.  A hemangioma may be red if it involves the papillary dermis (called superficial strawberry hemangiomas), but they can also be purple, blue, or colorless if they involve the reticular dermis or subcutaneous fat (called deep, cavernous hemangiomas). Early white discoloration of infantile hemangioma may be an early sign of imminent ulceration. Additional workup.  Further investigation is also required in specific situations: If there are 5 or more cutaneous lesions, we would need a liver ultrasound to rule out involvement of the liverFor facial or segmental involvement, echocardiogram and MRI of the head are recommended to rule out posterior fossa malformations, hemangioma (usually localized on the face), arterial anomalies, cardiovascular anomalies, eye anomalies, sternal clefting and/or supraumbilical raphe  PHACE Syndrome: posterior fossa brain malformations, hemangiomas, arterial anomalies, coarctation of the aorta and cardiac defects, and eye abnormalities. By definition, PHACE is diagnosed when there is at least one hemangioma >5 cm on head/scalp PLUS one major or two minor criteria OR hemangioma of any size on neck, upper trunk and proximal upper extremity plus two major criteria.Major criteria include arterial anomalies such as anomaly of major cerebral or cervical arteries, retinal vascular anomalies, sternal defect. Minor criteria include cerebral artery aneurysm, ventricular septal defect, etc. Laryngoscopy should be done if there is cervicofacial involvement, i.e., beard distribution Spinal ultrasound should be performed if the hemangioma is in the lumbosacral region Management-Most hemangiomas will not require treatment, and most need observation only. -When treatment is needed, treatment is usually medical depending on severity, location, and extension of hemangioma/s, you may decide to go with topical or systemic therapy.-Topical therapies include beta blockers (propranolol 1% applied TID for 1 year), corticosteroids, and imiquimod, but data on efficacy is limited.-Systemic therapies: Beta blocker therapy (with propranolol by mouth) is indicated when there is concern for ulceration or scarring in large, facial, segmental and or rapidly growing hemangiomas, for visual impairment in periorbital involvement, high output heart failure in hepatic involvement and airway obstruction in subglottic involvement. The dose of propranolol is 1mg/kg to 3mg/kg in the form of an oral solution, depending on the response to therapy and weight of the child. Initiation of therapy may require hospital admission to watch for side effects to beta blockers.-Second-line treatments include systemic corticosteroids-Surgical intervention is rarely needed, and it´s usually avoided because surgical scars may be worse than the resulting lesion after spontaneous regression.  Prognosis. The prognosis is very good for most uncomplicated hemangiomas, with about 50% undergoing complete involution by age 5 years and about 90% by age 9 years. Permanent cutaneous residua are seen for hemangiomas that involute slowly, after 6 years of age and hemangiomas involving the eyelid, nasal tip, ear and lip. Functional impairment or obstruction may occur when the hemangioma is located near natural orifices and/or in the head and neck area. In these cases, surgical intervention may be needed. Conclusion. You may find hemangiomas during routine physical exam of a newborn. It is important to remember the natural progression of uncomplicated hemangiomas. Make sure to educate parents about concerning features and how to determine if treatment is needed. In most cases, when treatment is needed, a dermatology evaluation is needed. ___________________________ [Music to end: JERUSALEMA]Now we conclude our episode number 78 “Infantile Hemangioma.” We learned about the natural progression of most hemangiomas. They grow for up to 3 years, then remain unchanged until around 6 years of age when they gradually regress without treatment. In most cases, monitoring is all what's needed. However, it's important to identify the hemangiomas with concerning features that require additional work up or early treatment. Treatment is mainly medical. Surgery is rarely recommended or required. Even without trying, every night you go to bed being a little wiser.Thanks for listening to Rio Bravo qWeek.

I step out of the bunker into some toxic air and a moment to reflect. This episode will focus on our intimate connections as we weigh the balance of our relationships. Trauma bonding is characterized as loyalty to a person who is destructive. Despite the term “bonding” having a positive connotation, the act of trauma bonding is anything but that. Trauma bonds are both unhealthy and dysfunctional.  Contribute to our Patreon! we also have a Patron through Podbean so just throw coins at us like we're a medieval courtroom jester. thanks!  Follow us on Twitter!

Want to make change but not sure how or where to begin? Small steps for big change tackles this question, looking at what we can do to change oil spills. This episode talks about how large oil companies dominate areas inhabited by low-income or indigneous people in both Nigeria and the Peruvian Amazon and how their negligence in maintaining pipelines has caused thousands of oil spills which are dangerous for both the ecosystems and the people. Consumers in the U.S. continue to buy oil from these companies without realizing how they exploit and harm these communities.

Contributor: Ruben Marrero-Vasquez, PharmD Educational Pearls: ACEP and FDA have both issued warnings about the viral Tik Tok Benadryl (diphenhydramine) challenge where individuals voluntarily overdose on diphenhydramine which can cause fatal toxicity Diphenhydramine is typically dosed at 0.5-1 mg/kg in pediatric patients Q4-6 PRN and carries a fatal dose of 20-40 mg/kg but anywhere from 3-5x recommended dose does can cause toxicity Diphenhydramine toxicity causes both central and peripheral anticholinergic toxicity Central anticholinergic toxicity symptoms: delirium, agitation, combativeness, confusion, restlessness, hallucinations, ataxia, tremor and seizures Peripheral anticholinergic toxicity symptoms: tachycardia, dry flushed skin, dry mucus membranes, thick secretions, dilation of pupils, urinary retention, and decreased bowel sounds Pneumatic to help you remember anticholinergic toxidrome: Red as a beet Dry as a bone Blind as a bat Mad as a hatter Hot as a hare Full as a flask Management typically only requires supportive care, agitation from central anticholinergic delirium can be hardest aspect to treat, IV benzodiapines are first line treatment to control and may require large doses to prevent rhabdomyolysis and hyperthermia Diphenhydramine toxicity has been associated with blockade of sodium and potentially potassium channels increasing risk of arrhythmia and seizures. Cardiac changes can include: QRS widening, myocardial depression, QT prolongation and torasades-type ventricular tachycardia. Wide QRS complexes indicate delayed ventricular depolarization caused by sodium channel blockade, bolus of sodium bicarbonate can be used dosed 1-2 mEq/kg followed by continuous infusion Prolonged QT: restoration of low serum potassium and magnesium to high normal range Benzodiazipines should be used as first line therapy for toxin induced seizures Don’t use fosphenytoin or phenytoin sodium channel blockers as they can worsen cardiac conduction References Su M, Goldman M.

Follow them on Twitter and Instagram @millennialmhc Contributors: Dr. Justin Romano and Eddie Carrillo, M.A., LPC Educational Pearls: Suicide is 10th most common cause in U.S. and the rate rose by 30% from 2000-2016 and the CDC reports that there was a 25% increase in ED visits for SI from January 2017 - December 2018 Use an objective screening tool like Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) when assessing patients as they can help detect SI although ultimately it is up to your clinical impression to make a decision Suicide reduction measures and strategies work! Take advantage of social workers when setting up outpatient resources for patients i.e. gun locks Risk Factors include: prior attempts, substance use/abuse, mental disorders (especially depression and bipolar disorder), access to lethal means (most modifiable by risk reduction strategies), knowing someone who has died by suicide, social isolation, chronic disease or disability, lack of access to mental health resources, recent changes in social status and being a member of a high risk demographic (older caucasian men, LGBTQ+, Native Americans and Alaskan Natives) Protective Factors include: good followup as an outpatient, good social support, life skills, purpose in life, cultural beliefs, children and sense of responsibility in the family Sober up and reassess suicidality If not medically cleared, admit to hospital to address these complaints and then address suicidality If they have suicidal thoughts, plan and are reaching out for help because they don’t want to do it then send to inpatient facility Consult psychiatry to explain inpatient psych or when you’re worried about patient safety to have them weigh in Get collateral by talking to a family member to verify that the patient is telling the truth At the end of the day, thorough documentation of risk and protective factors and results of screening tool in Assessment and Plan is essential to protecting yourself as a professional References Betz ME, Boudreaux ED.

Violette Morris, a powerhouse athlete with 14-inch biceps, discovered a love for trousers and fast driving while piloting ambulances for the Red Cross during the First World War. But her outrageous and mannish style – she dated Josephine Baker, smoked, and cut her breasts off to better fit behind the wheel of a race car – outraged the respectable upper-middle-class world of women's athletics. And when she was cast out of respectable society, she became a Nazi spy and a sadistic torturer known as the "hyena of the Gestapo." ----more---- SOURCES: Colvin, Kelly Ricciardi.

Contributors: Rachael Duncan, PharmD and Sean McCullough, PharmD Educational Pearls: A 2019 Report by the National Women’s Law Center: Most common occupations for pregnant workers are elementary and middle School teachers, registered nurses, physician assistants and nursing/psychiatric/home health care aides.  This raises the question of should pregnant women, specifically front-line workers get the Covid-19 vaccine?  As of currently, and according to the FDA, there is currently not enough data to make a conclusion about the safety of the Pfizer vaccine for populations that include children less than 16, pregnant and lactating women and those that are immunocompromised.  Specifically, pregnant women were excluded from the clinical trials testing the Pfizer vaccine.  According to the CDC, additional data needs to be reviewed from the phase III clinical trials in order to provide recommendations to pregnant and breast-feeding women about taking the Covid-19 vaccine and its safety.  An Advisory Committee of Immunization Practices (ACIP) meeting will take place on 12/13/2020 and will hopefully provide formal recommendations to pregnant and lactating women.  The Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine (SMFM) has consistently advocated for the inclusion of pregnant and lactating women into clinical trials when these criteria are met: 1) pregnancy poses increased susceptibility to or severity of a disease; 2) the best approach to protect the infant is through passive placental antibody transfer, which provides the most efficient and direct protection to the newborn before an infant can be vaccinated, and 3) there is an active outbreak. SMFM recommends healthcare workers who are currently being prioritized to receive the vaccine to also receive the vaccine if pregnant.  Pregnant women should take their individual situation into consideration and weigh the risks and benefits for themselves and the risk for detecting disease when considering if or when to take the Covid-19 vaccine.    References  ACIP Meeting Agenda December 13, 2020 - cdc.gov.

In this episode, Kelsie and Brooke discuss Andrew Jackson and the women who revolved around his presidency. We start by talking about how difficult it is to track women, especially women who marry through historical documents and time because their names change so much. We then examine the elections of 1824, 1828, and 1832 to understand the nastiness of those elections and how Jackson's wife and mother were regular targets. Jackson's first cabinet dissolved due to a scandal that revolved around Peggy Eaton, the wife of his Secretary of War. In the second half, we talk about Jackson's legacy of native American removal and genocide. We tell the story of his final solution to dealing with the natives by reading oral histories from native women. Of course, we have a lesson plan for teachers on our website.

The loss so many of us feel from those years were trapped on the drugs.  Mailbag This is where we share questions and comments which were discussed: COMMENT: You could attract more listeners if you included anti-depressants in your content. This comment was from Sara in Memphis, Tennessee. She suggested that I could draw more listeners if I included anti-depressants in the content. I agreed and suggested I would try and be more inclusive, but that our primary focus will still be on benzos. QUESTION: I would love for you to do a “bedtime” podcast.This question was from Karla in Chino Hills, California. She suggested I do a “bedtime” version of the podcast for people to listen to when they have insomnia. This was a great idea and I asked for suggestions of what it would entail.  Benzo News We discussed a variety of stories around the benzo community in this section today.  Benzo Spotlight Today's spotlight was on the website benzo.org.uk. This is the home to the Ashton Manual and thousands of links related to benzos, studies, articles and other information.  Benzo Stories Today's story was from Jill in Grand Junction, Colorado.  Feature Today's featured topic: The Effects of Benzodiazepines and Z-drugs on the Elderly The senior population around the world is an at-risk group, especially when it comes to the effects of certain drugs like benzos. Unfortunately, they are also the most likely to take these drugs. In today's feature, I shared several statistics, studies, and articles about the dangers of the overprescribing of these drugs in the elderly population.  The PodcastThe Benzo Free Podcast provides information, support, and community to those who struggle with the long-term effects of anxiety medications such as benzodiazepines (Xanax, Ativan, Klonopin, Valium) and Z-drugs (Ambien, Lunesta, Sonata).

Goal-setting can support your recovery from back pain and lead you to a better quality of life. Part 2 of this episode shows you proven techniques that help you in achieving what you aim for. + download your personal goal-setting sheet for free!!! Get your free Personal-Goal-Setting-Sheet here   Part 1 was about what you should aim for in your recovery:  Increasing physical activity1,2,3,4 improving sleep quality4,5 managing stress4,6  Now let´s dig in how goal-setting can help us in achieving that.  In their Article from 2002 Edwin Locke from University of Maryland and Gary Latham from Univerity of Toronto sum up the evidence about what science knows about the mechanisms of goal-setting.7 Goals affect performance through four mechanisms: direct attention and effort energizing function goals affect persistence, hard goals prolong effort (important for us, recovery process is a long term comittment) goals affect action indirectly by leading to the arousal, discovery, and/or use of task-relevant knowledge and strategies   To sum it up: "Effects of Goal-Setting are very reliable. Goal-setting theory is among the most valid and practical theories in organizational psychology."7 Those with high specific goals reach higher performance than those who tried to do their best. It´s not always that easy and we will talk about what research tells us, what is important in defining goals that help reaching higher performance. And thats exactly what we are looking for.   They further conclude:7 a goal should be specific, proximal goals should be added, proper use of learning goals should be made. What does this mean?   A general goal would be: Increasing physical activity. A specific goal would be: Increase walking distance up to 20 min a day. Translated into a proximal goal: Walk 20 min every day for one week starting today. And you could also add a strategy: Walk 20 min every day, before a get into the car driving to work starting today, or getting out of the bus-stop one station before my destinantion and walk there. Be creative!   So thinking about activity: Set specific Goals. Add a proximal goal and add a strategy   Be clear about why you are doing this! You are not doing this right now to become instantly pain free, you want to increase physical activity, increase quality of sleep and manage stress because in the long run that is what you will benefit from and as aresult will increase your quality of life.   Start with something that you are confident to achieve.8 No doubt there should be some challenge within your set goals. Sucess in reaching your goals will feed your confidence and step by step you can start set higher goals for your self. Goal setting is also about self efficacy, which means confidence in that you can achieve your goals. So thats a reward on it´s own, and we need that in roder to go on with our recovery.   Goals lead to higher performance when people are committed to their goals and receive summary feedback. And there are several ways you can enhance commitment. Through factors that make goal attainment important for you First of all write your goal down. Put your Goals somewhere where you can see them, so that you stay focused and you reflect upon them. Having an accountability buddy helps in multiple ways. The announcement to another person will raise the importance of xour goals for you and if you hold a weekly conversation where you report about your progress or difficulties you will have a fixed time to reflect upon your situation and this feedback will enable you to find better strategies to overcome difficulties.    Resource Section: Goal-Setting-Sheet Get your free Personal-Goal-Setting-Sheet here Set your goals for each day and at the end of the day reflect on them. Did you made it? Great! If not reflect about the reasons for it. Can you think of any strategy how to achieve your goal the next time you will be in the same situation? Could you ask someone for help if it is a time problem? Any strategy is better than no strategy. And by trying out new things you probably will come along with better and better strategies that will work for you.   If you are short on time, make it a 5 min goal. Maybe some stretching, or mobilisation-technique that you already know that you can do before you go to sleep.

8.1 Setting Goals to Boost Your Recovery from Back Pain - Part 1 What we should aim for in our recovery process and how setting the right goals can help us with that.   What to aim for The most effective treatments for low back pain include exercise or multidisciplinary rehabilitation (also see Episode 06). Passive treatments, on the other hand, have not been demonstrated to induce long-term improvements.1   Physical Activity and Therapeutic Exercise 2,3,4,5 This is what we know what will help in the long term. Increasing activity. Developing a set of active coping strategies.   Improve Sleep5 Improving sleep also makes total sense, since over 50% of people living with chronic pain suffer from depression and there is a strong correlation between quality of sleep and depression. And depression has an impact on your recovery process.5 "Presenting, persistent, and developing sleep problems have a significant impact on recovery for those with LBP"6  According to the "2015 sleep in america poll", making sleep a priority is linked to better sleep, even among those with pain. Setting the right goals has a direct impact on your life.7    Check out the videos of the national sleep foundation about sleep and chronic pain: Sleep and Pain: Beat the Cycle and Improve Your Sleep Today https://sleep.org/articles/sleep-pain-beat-cycle-improve-sleep/   Chronic Pain and Sleep https://sleepfoundation.org/sleep-disorders-problems/pain-and-sleep   What is Sleep Hygiene https://sleep.org/articles/sleep-hygiene/   Manage Stress5 Relaxation is an integral component of cognitive behavioral treatment programs for chronic pain.8 -formal interventions are for example: therapy, counceling classes, support group, relaxation techniques, meditation, yoga, breathing exercices, autogenic trainingcreative activity....- There is a lot of research how people living with chronic pain can benefit from meditation and relaxation techniques.

Overview Black Girls Talk Sports is a podcast where women of color discuss all things sports, including but not limited to amateur and professional football, basketball and baseball. Why I created this podcast? Growing up I loved and followed football, basketball, and baseball. I knew what was going on; I could call players by name; and could rattle off some stats. I enjoyed watching Doug Flutie, Joe Montana, Magic Johnson, Dr. J., Kareem, Steve Garvey, Ozzie Smith, and so on. I also I wanted to become - among many things - the first female newscaster for the National Football League. Keep in mind, the only sports that I played were kickball, dodgeball, and powderpuff football. Fast forward, life happened and here I am. I'm not an expert, but I have an opinion and I'm sure other women do too. I hope to learn something new and expand my horizon. Plus, I can always research something that I don't know and engage in a meaningful conversation with you. Another reason why I created Black Girls Talk Sports podcast was to give women a safe space to discuss sports without male intrusion. This does not mean that I won't interview men for the podcast. It just means: You will hear me most weeks along with other women of color – some you might know and others you might not. No, I don't discriminate against other women. They are welcome here as well – just know it will be predominately women of color. Favorite Teams I'm from Indiana; I like the Colts and Pacers. I graduated from Indiana University, so I'm a fan of IU basketball too. I went there during the Bobby Knight era. Therefore, I will seem bias. I will, however, show respect for your team, even if it's the Cleveland Browns.

Recommendations based on current available evidence helps you combine your personal experience and expectations with research to form an individual treatment plan and find treatments with the most promising results.   What treatment should I consider for my back pain?  There are many guidelines regarding LBP and some even especially for chronic LBP. In this episode you will find information about the treatment options often recommended in these guidelines.   Setting evidence into your personal situation After having examined all the best available evidence from systematic research it is important to know how to apply this information to your individual situation. Evidenced based treatment is more than simply the best available evidence from systematic research alone. It should also take into account the expertise of your clinician(s) as well as your personal expectations, beliefs and preferences!1,2,3   Treatment Recommendations with strong supporting evidence Information, education and self-care "All the guidelines explicitly underline the importance of educating and providing patients with information on LBP with regard to their expected course and the possibility of effective prevention and selfcare options."4 Physical activity and therapeutic exercise "There is strong evidence that physical activity and therapeutic exercise are effective for the management of CLBP, even if it is not clear what kind of exercise is best. An individual, graded and active exercise program supervised by an expert (physical therapist) is almost always recommended."4 Multidisciplinary treatment programs "Combined physical and psychological interventions with cognitive-behavioral therapy and exercise are particularly recommended for people who have received at least one course of less intensive treatment and have high disability and/or significant psychological distress."4   All other forms of treatment are currently categorized using the following descriptions: Might do - recommendations with moderate supporting evidence Don’t know - recommendations with limited or inconclusive evidence Don’t do - recommendations with strong evidence against intervention   For more information of other treatment options please refer to the original article which can be found via the Internet: "An updated overview of clinical guidelines for chronic low back pain management in primary care."4   Find out more: www.mybackrecovery.com   Literature:   Sackett DL, Rosenberg WMC, Gray JAM, Haynes RB, Richardson WS.

Is Beats 1 Redefining Radio?

If you enjoy this podcast, consider buying me a coffee: https://adamstoner.com/support ‘Defying Conventions: Is Beats 1 Redefining Radio?' was originally submitted as part of a University of Gloucestershire Radio Production module. With the exception of two small typographical changes, this essay is posted exactly as it was submitted. Appendices have been redacted but bibliography and in-line references remain – get in touch if you need to chase anything. Apple's annual World Wide Developer Conference is a showcase of the company's latest software and technology. Described by CEO Tim Cook as the ‘epicentre of change', 2015 marked their ‘most global conference ever' (Apple, 2015), a fitting stage to announce their new ‘worldwide' and ‘always on' internet radio station, Beats 1. The announcement of Beats 1 came as a footnote to an addendum. The presentation mainly dealt with Apple's latest technological offering, ‘Apple Music' – a streaming service and social network combined, of which the radio station is merely a subsidiary – rather than with Beats 1 Radio directly. Nevertheless, speaker, record producer, and entrepreneur Jimmy Iovine painted it as a nod to the company's history; the minds behind the iPod and media software iTunes were returning to the grassroots of music sharing: radio. This essay will look at the early success and criticisms of Beats 1. It will do this by examining how the station defies established radio theory and is helping to evolve the medium both technologically and stylistically. It will contextualise these findings in the form of current industry practice, as well as what pressures the station may put on commercial and public service radio broadcasting in the United Kingdom. The essay aims to explore the timing and reasons behind the inception of the station and will raise questions behind its ideology. It will draw on a range of practitioner, academic and secondary sources as well as personal listening and theorisation in order to explore whether Apple's Beats 1 is ‘redefining radio'. Defining Radio From the offset, a couple of basic but important distinctions need to be made. As the Radio Advertising Bureau reflect in their 2014 report Audio Now (p.10), new forms of audio are continually emerging. The report highlights three main forms of consumer-level audio, with the latest — ‘on-demand' — being less than ten years old: ‘Owned audio': Here, the consumer owns the physical or digital audio format. This may include digital downloads, gathered legally or otherwise, or physical copies of the sound, such as CD, cassette or vinyl. ‘Live audio': This is the oldest of the three forms. The report refers to it as ‘live radio' but for the purposes of this essay we shall expand its definition to all audio consumed in real-time, as it is performed or transmitted. ‘On-demand': The newest of the three and the most complex to define due to its multifaceted nature. This encapsulates audio where the consumer does not have the original file and listens in isolation. Examples cited in Audio Now include streaming services, podcasts and YouTube videos. This notion of ‘owned audio' can be entirely discounted when discussing Apple Music as a standalone product; the user never gets physical access to the music files, just the right to stream them in exchange for a monthly membership fee of £9.99. The second and third definitions – ‘live audio' and ‘on-demand' respectively – are vital when addressing Beats 1 and Apple Music's other ‘radio'-esqué offerings, the definition of which has been somewhat corrupted by modern-day ‘on-demand' music streaming services. ‘Radio', as understood by the likes of Spotify, Deezer, Pandora, or similar, is intrinsically different from the traditional and well-established institution of radio broadcasting. This is not to say traditional radio is out-dated – far from it – but that ‘on-demand' services have appropriated the name of the medium and have used it incorrectly. There are multiple differences between the two, with the most notable being that the more traditional notion of radio broadcasting features human presence. Chignell (2009, p.33) explains people ‘add meaning' and context, and also provide a sense of co-presence. This is the complete antithesis of so-called ‘radio stations' on streaming services which strip broadcasting of its ‘essential element' (Priestman, 2006, p.36): human-to-human contact. As Corderio (2011, p.499) highlights, there is a long line of radio theorists who contend ‘music playlists, without human interaction, should not be confused with radio', and that radio can be easily defined as public, point-to-point_s_ broadcasting. Priestman describes the aforementioned, human-bare stations as ‘automated web “jukebox[es]”' and for the purposes of this essay, these on-demand web-jukeboxes will be called exactly that. iTunes Radio – the 2013 predecessor of Apple Music – was one such service. Allowing users to create ‘stations' around a single artist or band, algorithms mixed content from one band with similar material by similar artists. As Baldwin (2013) reports, iTunes Radio let users ‘rate the songs (…) as they stream[ed]', thereby learning individual preference in order to modify the output to better suit taste. While iTunes Radio was by no means a failure, algorithms, as Iovine himself admits, ‘can't do it alone' (Dredge, 2015). While movements in the realm of acoustic and computer science are moving in the right direction, machines currently fail to recognise mood, thus playing inappropriate or mismatched tracks sequentially, and cannot provide all important context. Enter Apple Music. While the newer service still contains web-jukeboxes, Apple makes a clear point of distinguishing Beats 1 Radio from them. In the native Music application on iOS, a graphic inviting people to ‘Listen Now' takes centre stage (appendix; a), occupying well over 50% of the screen space. Not only does this force automated-jukebox stations to exist several swipes away but it also separates Beats 1 from these lesser-refined services. The Beats 1 landing page on the Apple website makes a further point of highlighting this distinction by defining the true meaning of radio itself: ‘No matter where you are or when you tune in, you'll hear the same great programming as every other listener' (2015b). This reinforces a concept Chignell (2009, p.74) writes about, co-presence, a theory Scannell and Cardiff (1991) highlight, imagined community, and Marshal McLuhan's Global Village, ‘one world connected by an electronic nervous system' (Stewart, n.d.). Irrespective of scale, collective listening is precisely what radio is all about. As a technology company, there are technological considerations to take in to account when defining what ‘radio' means to Apple. As the smartphone market leader (Forbes, 2015), it is fitting of Apple to create a station that is marketed at, and primarily received on, mobile devices. According to a 2015 report from the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry, the digital music industry is worth $6.85 billion worldwide per annum (IFPI, p.6), with ‘music subscription services' accounting for 22.75% of revenue. On the other hand, ‘radio is a massive $20 billion industry' (Truong, 2015). At a time where physical format sales are declining (IFPI, 2015b), where the revenue share of music streaming is growing exponentially, and where radio is still ‘able to command the largest share of the listening ear' (Lloyd, 2015, p.293), Apple wants in. Moreover, there are some strong statistics to suggest mobile listening is quick becoming a force to be reckoned with. ‘31 minutes a day is the average amount of time spent listening to music on a phone', Global (2015) claims, and ‘65% of “digital audio” streamers' – both live audio and on-demand consumers – ‘listen with head[/ear]phones'. Undoubtedly, radio is an intimate and personal medium, esteemed by consumers (McLeish, 2016, pp.3 to 6). To further emphasise this, by interacting through earphones, listeners are choosing to place broadcasters in their ears, to make the broadcast a part of their body, a sacred trust and one only radio could garner. Global also claim ‘44% of 35-44 year-olds' stream music over tablet devices. Logically, what with early adoption rates and increased technological competence in younger generations who have grown up with this hardware from an early age, this number will only be higher in the 15 to 24 and 25 to 34 demographics, precisely the age of consumer Apple is attempting to capture with Beats 1 Radio. Defying Radio In the words of both Finer (2003, p.32) and Castelles (2003, p.17), the internet is the world's first international radio frequency. Apple not only advertise Beats 1 as being ‘worldwide', but as ‘a truly global listening experience', letting audience members discover ‘what's going on in the world of music'. While parts of this statement are correct – the station can be received in 100 countries around the world (Apple, 2015c), although that is only 51% of the planet – the overall sentiment could not be further from the truth. At present, the BBC World Service is the world's largest international broadcaster (House of Commons, 2010, ev.11) serving over 188 million people per week (BBC, 2009). Whilst the on-air content of each station cannot be compared – the BBC World Service is primarily a news and informational platform, while Beats 1 is purely a music station – there are, in terms of scale, many similarities. Evident from its marketing decisions and branding, Apple's goal is for Beats 1 to adopt an audience of ‘World Service' magnitude – ‘truly global', ‘worldwide'. However, in the same way Beats 1 broadcasts from exclusively Western locations – New York City, London, and Los Angeles – yet claims it is a ‘global' voice, the BBC World Service soldiers in a similar vein. The Operating Agreement of the World Service (BBC Trust, 2012, p.6) sets out English language services as their ‘core offer' and designates 75% of overall output worldwide to English language programming each week. Even the name of the BBC World Service contains a jarring juxtaposition, seating ‘British' and ‘World' two words apart. On the other hand, ‘beats' – acoustically speaking – know no borders and are not unique to any specific genre of music. Here, Beats 1's lack of cultural identity, as far as the name of the station and the simplistic graphical signifiers and branding it uses, allows the station to be transient in nature. However, as O'Malley (2015) reflects, this ‘ill-defined genre remit' hasn't come without criticism – He goes on to state ‘if you make content so broad, it becomes meaningless'. Beats 1 contradicts Priestman's (2006, p.233) argument that ‘web radio works best as a narrow-cast or niche medium' and Nyre's argument (2008, p.192) that music radio stations attempt ‘to attract niche audiences'. Roy Martin, managing editor of Radio Today, claims Beats 1 threatens ‘specialist music stations such as 1Xtra, Kiss [and BBC Radio] 6 Music' (2015). The breadth of music these stations play is replicated on Beats 1 without advertisements or pressures to fill remit goals. Contrasting Martin's sentiment, BBC Radio 1's controller Ben Cooper – who has lost two talents: Head of Music George Ergatoudis to Spotify (Lunden, 2015) and Lowe to Apple – claims ‘a rising tide lifts all boats' (Griffiths, 2015). Martin continues, ‘the likes of Radio Plymouth, The Bee [Lancashire] and Clyde 1 [Glasgow]' need not feel at risk, despite Beats 1 being billed as ‘the world's local station' (Quartz, 2015). Although Beats 1 can attempt to masquerade as local radio, when it comes to discussing truly local news and events, even at its closest level of inspection Beats 1 has to take a national view for fear of alienating other listeners. Locality is what makes radio work and Beats 1, with its syndicated, single, linear programming which never once breaks out in to local titbits, cannot possibly achieve the same effect on its desired scale. The on-air content of Apple's Beats 1 behaves as a BBC Radio 1Xtra and Radio 6 Music hybrid. The station is clearly attempting to promote ‘challenging, innovative' (BBC Trust, 2012b, p.2) music, with a distinctive focus on ‘contemporary black music (…) rarely heard elsewhere' (BBC Trust, 2015, pp.2 to 4), as the aforementioned BBC stations also reflect in their respective remits. Introducing challenging music comes with the need to reason track selection and explain why the creation deserves respect. BBC Radio 6 Music achieves this through interviews and technical discussions, many of which deconstruct musical theory, and through detailed back-announcements that may include the name of record labels, similar musicians, and artist influences. BBC Radio 1 Xtra achieves the same effect by discussing the artists' potential influence in relation to black British culture. This form of education, required by remit, is evident in the plays-per-day of each station, with BBC Radio 6 Music totaling an average of 172 plays per day and 1Xtra averaging 159 (Last FM, 2016, 2016b). The breaks are filled with news, documentaries and interviews. This is a stark contrast to Beats 1, a station that plays an average of 300 songs per weekday, peaking to 600 on weekends due in part to ‘high-track-turnover DJ mix shows that play during prime party hours' (Quartz, 2015). The on-air schedule of Apple's Beats 1 Radio is unlike any other station. Those familiar with radio will be aware of dayparting, ‘the practice of segmenting the broadcast schedule in to blocks (…) programmed for unique audience demographics and listeners' daily habits' (Piasek, 1998). Dayparting helps broadcasters provide more of that all-important context Chignell (2009, p.33) discusses. Nielsen Audio (2015, p.23), one of several U.S. audience rating services, divides a weekday into five such parts. Having slightly adjusted the times for an audience based in the United Kingdom, those dayparts are as follows: 0600 to 9000: Breakfast 0900 to 1600: Daytime 1600 to 1900: Evening Drive Time 1900 to 2300: Late Night 2300 to 0600: Overnight (colloquially known as the ‘graveyard slot') James Cridland believes (2015) ‘it makes no sense putting the money into a great breakfast show (…) because the timezones mean it's always breakfast somewhere'. Beats 1 replays its three flagship programmes – Zane Lowe, Ebro Darden, and Julie Adenuga – on a twelve-hour loop, thus hitting both eastern and western-based audiences with all three shows in any given 24-hour period. The rest of the schedule is comprised of irregular and one-off programmes fronted by musicians from Elton John to HAIM, and organisations like Noisey and Pitchfork. This pre-recorded content, masquerading ‘as live', is broadcast at times relevant to the market Apple is attempting to target. For example, St. Vincent's programme is played at 3 a.m. GMT, 7 p.m. PST (American East-Coast) and 11 a.m. CST (Mainland China), evidently targeting listeners in the Americas and Asia rather than the United Kingdom. Whilst this may seem a strange idea, it works. One of radio's early strengths, the art of ephemeral broadcasting, is being eroded in the age of podcasting, ‘owned audio' and ‘on-demand'. With this comes a pressure for more refined content – producers now must craft sound not only for initial impact, but also for replay value. Transmitting great content once then losing it to the ether is neither cost effective nor clever. LBC – a commercial, London-based news and talk station – is one of the first in the United Kingdom to implement pay-for catch-up services. Subscription services on a rolling monthly basis cost £3.99 (AudioAgain, 2014). In comparison, Beats 1 offers the same catch-up method: pay to become an Apple Music member. ‘While it doesn't quite provide the experience of listening to the show live, (…) every DJ will post a set playlist for their show a few hours after it ends' (iMore, 2015). Most commercial radio stations are yet to offer on-demand catch-up services at all, but some, like Fun Kids – the UK's only radio station aimed at under-12s – have in excess of 80 podcast channels (Think Fun Kids, n.d.). It is as-of-yet unclear whether the pay-for catch-up model works well enough to warrant the long-term investment required by commercial radio stations in order to develop distribution platforms. However, empowering the consumer through this medium provides another point-of-entry to the station and rewards active consumers with the opportunity to replay their favourite moments from past programmes, or to store the show for posterity. Given the high profile musicians Beats 1 has access to and the respective fan-bases of those musicians, Apple's move is clearly another call to subscribe. Once an interview or programme has been broadcast, the only way for dedicated fans to hear that content again – or catch-up, if they missed it first time around – is to pay. Apple know many fans have a fear of missing out, desperate to hear content from their favourite creators, therefore can reasonably assure themselves a select number of subscribers by providing exclusive content hidden behind paywalls. Redefining Radio Being owned by a multinational, technological giant has its advantages. While the equipment Beats 1 uses to broadcast is the same as any other digital radio station, the techniques are certainly groundbreaking. Beats 1 is available in two stream formats, 64 kbps and 256 kbps (Painter, 2015) AAC, superior to DAB's MP2 streams which vary from 64 kbps – for stations including Absolute Radio, Amazing Radio and BBC Radio 5 Live – to 192 kbps – used exclusively by BBC Radio 3 (Laird, 2015). With concern to mobile devices, where the vast majority of stations stream second-by-second, Beats 1 utilises the new HLS streaming format. HLS is HTTP Live Streaming, a new communications protocol developed and implemented by Apple (2014). Designed to be adaptive, devices request stream information in packets of varying quality, and, if at any point diminished bandwidth or download speed causes stress to the stream, devices will request the next packet in a lower quality. This creates the effect of zero buffering, allowing for a smooth and more dynamic listening experience. The highly customisable nature of mobile phones makes this next statistic hard to measure but assuming a couple of reasonable conditions – that a user has biometric Touch ID enabled and has not moved the Music application from the factory default setting in their iPhone's docking bar – an ordinary mobile user can become a Beats 1 listener in only four taps. If Siri's newer hands-free function – ‘Hey Siri' – is enabled, a user can become a listener without even having to touch their device (appendix; b). In stark contrast to popular radio streaming applications such as TuneIn or RadioPlayer – two of numerous for desktop and smartphone – Apple forces consumers to use their dedicated Music application in order to hear Beats 1. The reason behind this decision is simple: Apple is a lover of control; proven by the fact Beats 1 audio steams are encrypted. The keys to decrypt the audio streams lay within the Music application itself. When addressing Apple's design decisions, the company has previously been accused of attempting to create a ‘totalitarian monoculture' (Bissell, 2008), a statement that is hard to defend Apple against. Indeed, in order for a listener to switch from Apple's Beats 1 to a potential rival – say, BBC Radio 1 or Capital FM – they would have to conduct at least eighteen further interactions with their device, first by launching a non-native iPhone application, then by having to search for the station before launching it, an overwhelming contrast in user-friendliness from the potential hands-free starting of Beats 1. Matt Deegan – radio practitioner and Creative Director of Folder Media – emphasised this, explaining the inception of Beats 1 is a move to ‘keep people in the Apple Music ecosystem' (University of Gloucestershire, 2015). On December 29th 2015 it was reported (RadioToday) Beats Electronics LLC., a division of Apple and the owners of the Beats brand, had put in a bid to internationally trademark the names of four potential new stations, Beats 2 through 5 and respective station logos ‘B2' through ‘B5'. Whilst Apple has made their intention to expand its radio arm clear (Billboard, 2015), it is unknown whether the filings are just a protective measure to prevent others piggybacking the Beats Radio brand. In the United Kingdom, the government-approved communications and competition regulator Ofcom, can step-in to ensure monopolies of broadcasting remain fair. If a station like Beats 1 wanted to broadcast on FM, AM, or even DAB, there's a high likelihood that Apple – with their marketing budget in excess of $1 billion USD (United States Securities and Exchange Commission, 2012) and end-goal of creating several ‘Beats'-branded stations – would not be in receipt of an license. This is where broadcasting solely online has measureable advantages, namely in the lack of regulation. Under the sole condition Apple pays for the rights to stream music in the 100 countries Beats 1 is playable from, there are no further restrictions. Although indecency regulations do not apply to its online streams, Apple still chooses to play non-explicit, clean, radio-edited versions of tracks 24/7. ‘[C]ensoring explicit language could be a matter of playing it safe rather than hoping the content flies everywhere it's played,' Kastrenakes (2015) believes, ‘it's likely a way to stay in advertisers' good graces — and it's certainly possible that ads will show up on Beats 1 eventually, especially since it's available for free', he adds. Where a track has a particularly high number of expletives, presenters signpost the non-censored version as ‘now streaming on Apple Music', a call to subscribe to the service for uncensored content ‘as the artist intended'. As Priestman (2006, p.3) reminds us, ‘[r]adio was supposed to mean the end of newspapers [and] television was supposed to mean the end of radio', but as is now evident, newer mediums change their predecessors but do not replace them. Criticism aside, Apple has made some logical additions to the visual and multimedia assets accompanying radio. Beats 1's metadata – ‘data that provides information about other data' (Merriam Webster, n.d.) such as what is playing on the station – is visualised on the iPhone lock-screen (appendix; c, d). If users are Apple Music subscribers they can ‘favourite' tracks, add them to personal playlists for offline ‘on-demand' streaming, and share the station via social media channels. Moreover, the synergy Apple's Beats 1 manages to achieve by embedding its content within the native Music application is unrivalled. Presenters regularly direct listeners to their ‘Connect' pages – the social networking arm of Apple Music – to see content complimentary to on-air discussions. Apple's monopolistic attitude over its content pays-off here, where the dynamo and fluidity of content publishing aids the sense of liveness. While it is clear to see Apple have brought many innovations to the worlds of technology and of music – and is continuing to experiment, along with on-demand streaming services, with the power of radio – I am unconvinced Beats 1 poses a threat to traditional notions of radio broadcasting. I believe Apple has missed a trick by failing to make the station more revolutionary. The stream is ‘live' but its DJs are not, the station is ‘global' but radio works best locally. It is entirely within Apple's capabilities to syndicate international programming with local break-offs, in the same way Heart FM syndicates a national breakfast show with regional news and travel. Similarly, Apple could easily syndicate its presenters across several genres of station, unifying links but playing different tracks, thus narrowcasting to niche audiences while still maintaining an overall brand identity. Absolute Radio's ‘Project Banana', piloted during Christian O'Connell's breakfast show, adopts this method, handing consumers the power to ‘choose the music to suit their tastes, while enjoying and interacting with the show's hosts' live (MediaWeek, 2014). While the station certainly has had success in marketing itself as a ‘breakthrough', in the words of James Cridland (2015) ‘I'm not sure it'll set the world on fire'. Moreover, the move to launch a radio station has attracted many critics, one of which stated it was ‘a terribly exclusive vanity project' (O'Malley, 2015), a statement I'm inclined to agree with. Matt Deegan is correct; Beats 1 is an advertising space for Apple Music, and contains measureable disadvantages for non-subscribers. Nevertheless, Beats 1 does pose serious questions for Station Managers and Radio Futurologists alike, namely around sharing multimedia content, ideas of exclusivity and privilege, and scheduling for maximum impact. Where Beats 1 excels, such as in technological competence and innovation, it is my opinion more traditional stations fall far behind. Here, they really are ‘redefining radio'. In this digital age, stations need to strive for technological excellence and Beats 1 is a prime example. This is not shocking, as the biggest and most valuable technology company in the world owns Beats 1. It is just a shame that, as far as content is concerned, where other stations excel, Beats 1 misses the boat. It comes across clumsy and mismatched, alienating and lazy, rather than the inclusive, ‘worldwide', gritty and new-age aesthetic it needs to succeed. – Bibliography Apple (2014) ‘HTTP Live Streaming Overview' On: iOS Developer Library [Accessed 01 January 2016] Apple (2015) Apple – WWDC 2015.
