With Alaska and Hawaiian Airlines attaining Single Operating Certificate (SOC) status at the end of October, the two airlines are now a single carrier from the FAA's perspective. To discuss how this marks an important transition for our pilot groups, Alaska MEC Chair Will McQuillen and Hawaiian MEC Chair Larry Payne sit down to offer their perspective on the state of the merger and what comes next with respect to our joint contract negotiations and the evolution of the airline. They also discuss recent hiring trends, route announcements, and important changes to our contract language that will come into effect later this year. Ala.Alpa.Org Alahal.Alpa.Org

In this thought-provoking episode, host Bryan Dawson welcomes Father Calvin Robinson—a British Anglican priest, commentator, and outspoken cultural critic—for a wide-ranging conversation about faith, politics, and the challenges facing Western civilization. The discussion opens with Dawson recounting how he met Father Calvin at a Turning Point USA event in Huntsville, Ala., where the two connected over shared convictions and a passion for defending truth in turbulent times. Father Calvin shares his personal journey from the United Kingdom to the United States, explaining how his willingness to speak out on issues of national identity, faith, and culture has come at great personal and professional cost. Together, he and Brian explore the state of modern Britain, the rise of multiculturalism, and the tension between religious freedom, national values, and political correctness. Father Calvin describes what he views as the moral and spiritual decline of Western Europe, citing the erosion of Christian foundations and the emergence of parallel social and legal systems. The conversation turns to broader cultural questions, including the role of men and women in society, the decline of family life and faith, and the moral consequences of abortion and secularism. Both Dawson and Father Calvin frame these trends as symptoms of a deeper spiritual crisis—one that transcends politics and calls for a renewal of moral courage and conviction. Though controversial and at times unsettling, this episode offers a candid and unfiltered look at how two Christian thinkers interpret the West's current crossroads. Listeners will hear strong opinions, passionate arguments, and sobering reflections on faith, culture, and the future of civilization. Whether you agree or disagree with their views, this conversation invites reflection on what it means to preserve truth, tradition, and belief in an increasingly divided world. Tune in for an unflinching dialogue on faith, culture, and the courage to stand firm in conviction—no matter the cost.

In conjunction with our November cover story, in which we honor and feature Wayne-Sanderson Farms as our 2025 Processor of the Year, I had the opportunity to visit the company's Decatur, Ala., prepared foods processing complex and its Customer Innovation Center there. While visiting, I sat down with Matt Masters, director of R&D, and Beau Batchelor, corporate research chef – product development, to talk about the formulation and consumer trends driving the chicken industry today. The two shared their insights on flavors, dayparts and cuts of chicken that consumers continue to seek, as well as some of the larger macro factors driving demand.

Nos premiers invités #SessionLive sont Roseaux avec Ben l'Oncle Soul. (Rediffusion) Roseaux est un trio parisien composé Emile Omar, Alex Finkin et Clément Petit. Les trois mousquetaires du son cultivent leur savoir-faire désormais salué par la critique et un auditoire toujours plus nombreux depuis leur premier projet en 2012. Il leur a fallu du temps, pour prendre du recul et de la hauteur afin de nous offrir un retour tant réjouissant que retentissant. Roseaux prend racine au bord des rives de la soul, du folk, du jazz, et de la chanson de toutes les époques, une cascade de sonorités intarissables, où les trois compositeurs puisent leur inspiration et fusionnent leurs expériences. Les feuilles de Roseaux s'élancent au souffle de merveilleuses voix, choisies avec précision par les trois compères, comme celle, du chanteur américain Aloe Blacc, présent depuis le début de l'aventure, enchanteur incontournable des trois épisodes. Pensé comme une escapade onirique gorgée d'émotions, en marge de la production massive, instantanée et souvent désincarnée, Roseaux est un groupe totalement artisanal, sorte d'ovni dans le paysage musical hexagonal, qui opère à l'instinct et surtout à l'envie. Ainsi, Roseaux est devenu expert pour réunir, le temps d'un disque, les artistes qui forment spécifiquement l'ADN de leur hôte : des voix envoûtantes, une trame au piano et au violoncelle, mais aussi des rencontres et des retrouvailles, dans un univers poétique et volontairement nébuleux. Ce troisième album est l'œuvre de 3 passionnés de musique, capables d'intervertir leurs rôles : écriture, arrangements, production, d'où émergent cette fois, onze titres au mélodies ciselées dont trois instrumentaux colorés et insolites. Un périple entre mélancolie et euphorie, qui a conduit Roseaux aux confins de la planète, des Caraïbes à l'Europe en pasant par l'Afrique pour dénicher d'autres vibrations et des interprètes singuliers : la captivante chanteuse grenado-britannique Ala.ni, le petit prince afropop anglais originaire du Ghana, Ghetto Boy, et la troublante suédoise Isabel Sörling, signent ici une première collaboration flamboyante avec le groupe. Pendant que la talentueuse canado-haïtienne Mélissa Laveaux, l'hypnotique chanteur scandinave Olle Nyman, la pétillante franco-canadienne Anna Majidson et notre remarquable Ben national, déjà présents sur le deuxième volet, parviennent encore à créer la surprise en dévoilant de nouveaux aspects de leur tessiture. Les voix de Roseaux sont décidément impénétrables et sa magie se renouvelle aujourd'hui en faisant dialoguer la force de tous ces éléments scintillants, à découvrir dans un écrin de douceur et de volupté. La nature regorge de roseaux, celui-ci est unique.   Titres interprétés au grand studio - With Us Feat. Ben l'Oncle Soul Live RFI - Loving You Is All I Want To Do Feat.

In their interview, Mark and Matty talk about: Something that Stark Reflections listeners might not know about Matty related to getting her private pilot license Having worked aviation into at least two of her novels The phrase that goes along with the very intentional passing of the manuscript from one co-author to another How long Matty has been running The Indy Author Podcast The genesis of the book PODCASTING GUEST PLAYBOOK that Matty and Mark co-authored The underlying importance of connections that can happen through direct conversation between two people, but also among people who listen to that conversation (such as in a podcast) An anecdote from meeting an author at ALA (American Library Association) who thought they'd met Mark in person before because they'd heard him as a guest on someone else's podcast Wanting it to be a mutually beneficial relationship when making those connections A reminder about the old Storygraph tool that showed a visual representation of how books were linked (Back in 2007 this was a visual search tool where book covers appeared as thumbnails and “connections” between books (via “customers who bought this also bought this”) were drawn as lines. Some of the unique connections that happened when both Mark and Matty were at ALA in Philadelphia in the summer of 2025 An example of how Damon Courtney of Bookfunnel is a great podcast guest who is more interested in providing value to all listeners rather than someone who is solely trying to sell his product How indirect opportunities can be better than a sudden spike in book sales The offer that Matty has for authors to help do a short interview for them to demonstrate their skills as a interview guest A special offer for patrons of the Stark Reflections Podcast to get a free coaching session from Matty with her pod-pro coaching An example of a guest who was very reluctant to provide valuable information in an interview (ie, being far more interested in selling something) The value of having a service mindset over a selling mindset Making sure that you're pitching to the right podcast in the right way at the right time Advice Matty would offer to authors And more . . .   After the interview Mark reflects on a few different things, including the rise of the sophistication of the spammy author connection and service requests that arrive in his email a half dozen times a day.   Links of Interest: The Indy Author The Podcast Guest Playbook Matty's POD PRO Consulting (Patron link to access offer) EP 439 - Rambling Reflections from the Road to Can-Con Manuscript Report (Mark's affiliate link) Buy Mark a Coffee Patreon for Stark Reflections Mark's YouTube channel Mark's Stark Reflections on Writing & Publishing Newsletter (Signup) An Author's Guide to Working With Bookstores and Libraries The Relaxed Author Buy eBook Direct Buy Audiobook Direct Publishing Pitfalls for Authors An Author's Guide to Working with Libraries & Bookstores Wide for the Win Mark's Canadian Werewolf Books This Time Around (Short Story) A Canadian Werewolf in New York Stowe Away (Novella) Fear and Longing in Los Angeles Fright Nights, Big City Lover's Moon Hex and the City Only Monsters in the Building The Canadian Mounted: A Trivia Guide to Planes, Trains and Automobiles Yippee Ki-Yay Motherf*cker: A Trivia Guide to Die Hard Merry Christmas!

Sommes-nous obligé de consommer des compléments alimentaires ? La réponse est non. Mais une fois que c'est dit où trouver certains apports ? Car c n'est pas toujours facile en fonction de nos goûts et de nos habitudes. Je me suis posé la question pour 4 nutriments qui sont capitaux pour notre santé globale et notre pratique. Et encore plus en cette période où notre immunité est particulièrement importante. Alors que manger pour avoir suffisamment de fer, de magnésium, de vitamine C et d'oméga 3 ? Allez c'est parti !Liens complémentairesLe Protocole Perte de Gras : https://go.soulier.xyz/protocolesnTous les liens vers les anciens épisodes : https://sn.soulier.xyz/156Nouveauté : La Stratégie FlowFit pour bouger et plus et prendre du muscle (tarif de lancement spécial) : https://go.soulier.xyz/flowfitsnCet épisode est sponsorisé par Koro : https://go.soulier.xyz/koro. Profitez d'une réduction avec le code HAMSTERS5Le credo de ce podcast est d'avoir une alimentation naturelle et équilibrée qui soutien notre forme au quotidien et nous aide à bouger et faire du sport. Car je rappelle que l'alimentation sportive c'est avant tout l'alimentation du quotidien.Et un point important c'est de ne pas forcément toujours aller chercher des pilules magiques et des compléments alimentaires en espérant qu'ils nous apportent ce que l'alimentation ne nous apporterait pas. Mais la question que je me pose depuis quelques temps est quels aliments manger pour éviter de prendre trop de compléments. Car avouons le nous n'avons pas envie de cumuler de nombreux compléments. C'est coûteux et avaler des cachets donne un peu le sentiment d'être maladeDonc l'idée c'est quoi manger pour en avoir le maximum par l'alimentation et ne se compléter que pour les cas où on n'arrive pas à couvrir les besoins par notre alimentation. J'ai choisi spécifiquement 4 nutriments particulièrement important pour le corps, la pratique sportive, l'immunité et la forme.Dans cet épisode :le rôle du ferpourquoi les sportifs d'endurance et les coureurs peuvent en manquerpourquoi c'est encore plus important pour les femmespourquoi il faut être accompagné pour le fer la différence entre fer héminique et le fer non héminique et où en trouverle rôle du magnésiuml'intérêt des noix, amandes et oléagineux mais aussi de certaines eaux minéralesL'importance des oméga-3 qui sont des acides gras essentielsOù trouver les différents formes : ALA, EPA, DHALes bénéfices des produits de la filière Bleu-Blanc-CoeurComment consommer plus facilement de la Vitamine CLes agrumes les plus intéressantsEt pourquoi certains choux sont encore plus intéressants.

In today's polarized landscape, libraries face two key challenges: the difficulty of turning raw data into narratives that effectively advocate for libraries, and the ethical complexities of representing communities in these stories. In Critical Data Storytelling for Libraries: Crafting Ethical Narratives for Advocacy and Impact (ALA, 2025), Kate McDowell empowers librarians and information professionals to transform data into ethical, compelling narratives that connect with communities and advocate for their organizations. This book teaches both the practicalities of data storytelling and introduces critical approaches that ensure stories are inclusive, socially just, and impactful. Readers will find the book essential for communicating library value to help secure funding, resources, and community support.  This conversation makes reference to Kate McDowell's webinar about the book; view it here on YouTube. Dr. Kate McDowell is Professor at the School of Information Sciences at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign. Her interdisciplinary work examines how storytelling plays a vital role in humanizing data analysis and communication. Jen Hoyer is Technical Services and Electronic Resources Librarian at CUNY New York City College of Technology. She is co-author of What Primary Sources Teach: Lessons for Every Classroom (2022) and The Social Movement Archive (2021), and co-editor of Armed By Design: Posters and Publications of Cuba's Organization of Solidarity of the Peoples of Africa, Asia, and Latin America (2025).

Bienvenido al podcast SEO para Google. Soy el clon en prácticas de Borja Girón y puedes encontrarme en borjagiron.com. Si me notas la voz un poco de microondas, calma, estoy cogiendo temperatura… hoy hablo rápido, claro y sin tecnicismos. Hoy hablaré sobre: Cómo un ecommerce se coló en Google Shopping gratis y duplicó ventas con un simple catálogo automáticoVale, vamos por partes. Mucha gente piensa que para salir en la pestaña de Shopping hay que pagar sí o sí. No. Google muestra fichas gratuitas de productos cuando tu tienda envía un catálogo limpio y actualizado. ¿Qué significa limpio? Título claro, foto nítida, precio real, disponibilidad y un par de detalles útiles como medidas y color. Espera, te lo repito porque esto es importante: título claro, foto buena, precio y stock. Con eso ya puedes aparecer sin gastar un euro en anuncios.Y ahora toca una historia rápida para que lo veas con un caso particular. Una tienda pequeñita de mochilas sostenibles de Granada, con tres personas y cero presupuesto para anuncios, tenía visitas pero pocas ventas. Decidieron probar las fichas gratuitas de Shopping. Primero, ordenaron sus productos con un patrón fácil: marca, tipo, tamaño y material. Por ejemplo, Mochila urbana treinta litros algodón reciclado, gris. Segundo, subieron cinco imágenes por producto: una en fondo blanco, otra en la espalda de alguien, otra con el portátil dentro, otra con medidas grandes en pantalla y otra de los bolsillos abiertos. Tercero, añadieron detalles que la gente realmente busca: caben portátiles de quince pulgadas, impermeable ligera, garantía de dos años y envío en cuarenta y ocho horas. Cuarto, crearon un catálogo automático con una hoja tipo Excel que se actualizaba sola cuando añadían o cambiaban un producto. Nada de cosas raras: nombre, descripción, precio, enlace, imagen y disponibilidad. Quinto, activaron las reseñas pidiendo una valoración automática por correo una semana después de la compra. ¿Qué pasó? En unas semanas, sus productos empezaron a salir en los resultados de Shopping sin pagar. Más gente entraba ya sabiendo el tamaño, el material y el precio, y esa claridad convirtió en ventas.Ok, déjame explicarte mejor esta parte de cómo lo aterrizaron ellos para que puedas copiarlo. Uno, revisaron los títulos para que sonaran a cómo busca la gente. Nada de nombres poéticos, mejor Mochila de viaje cabina treinta litros que “Ala del viento”. Dos, pusieron al inicio de cada descripción un mini resumen de dos líneas con el quién, el para qué y el dato clave. Algo como para universitarios y teletrabajo, cabe portátil de quince pulgadas y botella de un litro. Tres, fijaron un día de la semana para revisar existencias y precios en la hoja. Cuatro, se prometieron no cambiar más de una cosa por semana. Y atento a lo siguiente porque es importante: cuando cambiaban una imagen o un título, se daban siete días para medir si subían las visitas o los clics antes de tocar otra cosa. Orden y paciencia.Metieron también un toque de inteligencia artificial, pero sin complicarse. Le pidieron a un asistente que les propusiera tres descripciones más cortas por producto, todas con el mismo patrón: beneficio principal, prueba o dato y siguiente paso. Y lo usaron para crear respuestas amables a preguntas repetidas como “¿entra en la cabina?” o “¿se puede lavar?”. Nada de humo, solo ahorrar tiempo repitiendo mejor lo que ya sabían.Hacemos una pausa un segundo que me quedo sin batería… Este episodio está patrocinado por Systeme, la herramienta de marketing todo en uno gratuita con la que puedes crear tu web, blog, landing page y tienda online, crear automatizaciones y embudos de venta, realizar tus campañas de email marketing, vender cursos online, añadir pagos online e incluso crear webinars automatizados.

Y ahora continuamos con el episodioSeguimos con los resultados, que es lo que te interesa. En seis semanas, las impresiones en Shopping gratuito se triplicaron y los clics orgánicos a producto casi se duplicaron. No por magia, sino porque sus fichas empezaron a responder justo lo que la gente quería saber sin entrar a la web. Además, bajaron devoluciones porque las fotos con medidas ya quitaban dudas. Y algo que les sorprendió: muchas ventas venían de gente que los descubría por un color concreto gracias al título, como gris grafito o verde pino. Esto suele pasar más de lo que crees, la gente busca por color y tamaño antes que por marca.Continuamos con un aprendizaje rápido. Toma nota. Si no sales en Shopping gratuito, pregúntate tres cosas: uno, ¿mis títulos dicen lo que es y su tamaño? Dos, ¿la primera imagen se entiende en móvil y parece profesional? Tres, ¿en la descripción pongo el dato clave en las primeras dos líneas? Si la respuesta es “más o menos”, ahí tienes tu tarea. Y un detalle final que marca la diferencia: muestra el envío y la devolución en una línea visible. Envío en cuarenta y ocho horas y devolución de treinta días. Eso da confianza y Google lo detecta.Y ahora vamos con el resumen del episodio. Lo importante de hoy es que las fichas gratuitas de Google Shopping siguen siendo una vía real para vender sin anuncios si tu catálogo está ordenado y se actualiza solo. El patrón ganador fue muy claro: títulos que suenan a búsqueda real, fotos con uso y medidas, datos clave en las primeras líneas, reseñas activas y un catálogo automático que se revisa una vez por semana. Con una pizca de inteligencia artificial para acelerar textos y respuestas, y mucha disciplina para cambiar solo una cosa cada semana, puedes ganar visibilidad sin gastar un euro en anuncios.La acción única para hoy es sencilla y potente. Entra en tu producto más vendido y cambia la segunda imagen por una foto con las medidas grandes y legibles, y en la descripción añade al principio dos líneas con para quién, el uso y el dato clave de tamaño o capacidad. Publica ese cambio, apúntalo en tu calendario y revisa en siete días si suben los clics y baja la tasa de devoluciones.

Told surgery is your only option? In this episode, Nurse Doza shares five evidence-informed actions to support your gallbladder—clean up diet, detox the liver, fix the gut, fast strategically, and use hot/cold exposure—so you can reduce symptoms and keep your gallbladder functioning as designed. Keyword: gallbladder 5 KEY TAKEAWAYS  1. Cut inflammatory foods (processed oils, sugars, most dairy; refined grains) and favor proteins, healthy fats, and veggies.  2. Support liver detox with foods (turmeric, garlic/onion, crucifers, omega-3s) and targeted nutrients (NAC, milk thistle, ALA, taurine, Bs/minerals).  3. Restore the gut with fiber-rich “gut foods,” glutamine, and consistent motility.  4. Use 24–36-hour fasting windows to improve bile dynamics and metabolic signaling.  5. Add heat/cold exposure to influence bile acids, cholesterol handling, and energy balance. The Good Poops Protocol — A targeted, gut-first bundle crafted to support regularity, microbiome balance, and healthy bile flow.

In this updated episode of Food for Thought—Omega-3s: Skip the Fish, Boost Your Brain (and Get Enough!)—we talk about these incredibly important fatty acids that are vital for brain, heart, mood, eye, and overall health. You've probably heard recommendations to eat fish to get your omega-3 fats, but listen to understand exactly what these fats are—and why skipping the middle fish is beneficial.What's also essential is getting an amount of omega-3s that truly protects your brain, heart, and other organs. The best way to know if you're getting enough is to test. I share my own story—testing my Omega-3 Index (and my husband's), learning we were low, increasing our intake, and testing again. In the episode, I share the results with you and encourage you to test yourself!In this episode, we cover:* Why omega-rich plant foods (like flax seeds and walnuts) are great for many reasons but limited when it comes to converting ALA into EPA and DHA.* How and why to skip the fish and get your omega-3s where the fish get them (i.e. algae).* What the Omega-3 Index is—what it measures, how to test it (including at home), and why it's not on standard panels.

In this powerful episode of 1819 News: The Podcast, host Bryan Dawson, CEO of 1819 News, sits down with Pastor Rich Lusk of Trinity Presbyterian Church in Birmingham, Ala., to honor the life and martyrdom of Charlie Kirk, the bold Christian leader and Turning Point USA founder tragically assassinated for his unapologetic defense of the gospel, Christian civilization, marriage, life, and biblical masculinity/femininity. The conversation kicks off with heartfelt tributes to Kirk's integrated faith—seamlessly weaving evangelism with cultural and political engagement on hostile university campuses, the epicenter of leftist indoctrination. Kirk's mantra, "Prove me wrong," invited debate as a peaceful alternative to violence, but ultimately, his faithfulness made him a target. As Lusk reflects, Kirk exemplified the full Great Commission: not just baptizing souls, but teaching nations to obey all of Christ's commands, building a God-glorifying civilization under Jesus' lordship over every sphere of life—from marriage to politics. Dawson and Lusk unpack the crisis of cowardice plaguing our culture, drawing from Scripture and history. They contrast biblical courage—rooted in fearing God above man—with modern failings: the emasculation of men, turning them into "beta males" ashamed of God-given aggression needed to guard the garden (Genesis 3); an idolatrous "safetyism" exposed during COVID that sacrifices liberty for security; and a therapeutic church culture that glorifies brokenness over repentance and strength. They critique how this infiltrates pulpits, counseling, and criminal justice—excusing sin as "trauma" and releasing criminals without retribution. The litmus test? If your pastor hasn't declared war on progressivism, feminism, transgenderism, and Marxism, it's time for a new church. Amid a "vibe shift," they celebrate rising Christian influence: leftists now face consequences for mocking Kirk's death, signaling power wielded for good, not neutrality. Lusk praises Dawson's gift for applying Scripture to all of life, urging listeners to reclaim courage for a free, flourishing Alabama. In the overtime, the two discuss the biblical case for capital punishment and wielding the sword. Tune in for an exhortation to strength, repentance, and bold faithfulness.

Le guitariste Thomas Naïm est le seul guitariste au monde à proposer un album solo sur Hendrix May This Be Love avec la participation du spécialiste français de Jimi Hendrix : Yazid Manou. (Rediffusion) La #SessionLive reçoit Thomas Naïm pour la sortie de l'album May This Be Love et le spécialiste français de Jimi Hendrix : Yazid Manou ! C'est après un stage d'été au Berklee College of Music de Boston et des cours à l'American School of Modern Music à Paris, que Thomas Naïm fonde avec la chanteuse Joyce Hozé le duo Tom & Joyce. Influencé par la MPB, la bossa nova des 60's et le jazz, le groupe enregistre deux albums : Tom & Joyce sorti en 2002 (Yellow Productions/East West) et Antigua en 2005 (Yellow Productions/Tommy Boy) sur lequel participe le légendaire batteur Tony Allen et dont certains morceaux seront remixés par des producteurs de dance music parmi les plus reconnus (Masters At Work, François Kevorkian ou Bob Sinclar). Par la suite, Thomas Naïm sera sollicité pour accompagner sur scène ou en studio de nombreux artistes venant d'horizons parfois très différents parmi lesquels Youn Sun Nah, Hugh Coltman, Hindi Zahra, Sébastien Tellier, Ala.ni, Mayra Andrade, Tiken Jah Fakoly, Blick Bassy, Idrissa Diop, Bob Sinclar, Salomé de Bahia, Brisa Roché, Bernard Lavilliers, Albin de la Simone, Michel Fugain, Claire Diterzi, Renan Luce… Il mène en parallèle depuis plusieurs années une carrière solo à la tête d'un trio avec le bassiste Marcello Giuliani et le batteur Raphaël Chassin avec lesquels il enregistre en 2018 l'album Desert Highway. En 2020, Thomas Naïm va confronter son trio aux compositions du maître Jimi Hendrix et enregistrer l'album Sounds of Jimi. L'idée de départ n'est pas de reprendre les titres d'Hendrix tel quel mais de trouver pour chaque morceau une esthétique plus personnelle, et à l'exception de trois titres chantés par Hugh Coltman et Célia Kameni, de privilégier l'approche instrumentale. L'album accueillera également en invités Erik Truffaz à la trompette et Camille Bazbaz à l'orgue. En 2022, il retourne en studio avec son trio augmenté de l'organiste/pianiste de Marc Benham pour enregistrer, sous la houlette du réalisateur grand angle Daniel Yvinec, On the Far Side, un album consacré à ses propres compositions dont la sortie est prévue pour février 2023. Thomas Naïm y retrouve ses premières amours, le Jazz, qu'il mêle à ses influences de toujours la pop, le rock psychédélique, les bandes originales de films et mille autres choses. Laurent Bardainne (saxophone) souffle sur trois titres un vent créatif qui donne à cet album unique une force et une couleur presque mystique. Avec May This Be Love, Thomas Naïm devient le 1er guitariste au monde, à reprendre Hendrix en guitare solo. Titres interprétés au grand studio - Hey Joe Live RFI - The Wind Cries Mary, extrait de l'album - Purple Haze Live RFI Line Up : Thomas Naïm, guitare. Son : Benoît Le Tirant, Camille Roch, Mathias Taylor. Album May This Be Love (Rootless Blues 2025). Site -  YouTube - Bandcamp.   Yazid Manou est journaliste, relations presse et spécialiste de Jimi Hendrix en France. en 1990, il organise un concert à l'Olympia pour les 20 ans de la disparition du guitariste américain. Il est le héros du roman « Blues pour Jimi Hendrix » écrit par Stéphane Koechlin. Yazid Manou est le gardien d'un mort comme Anubis dans la mythologie égyptienne, Jimi Hendrix. Il porte des fleurs sur sa tombe, soigne sa postérité, veille à sa gloire...

Le guitariste Thomas Naïm est le seul guitariste au monde à proposer un album solo sur Hendrix May This Be Love avec la participation du spécialiste français de Jimi Hendrix : Yazid Manou. (Rediffusion) La #SessionLive reçoit Thomas Naïm pour la sortie de l'album May This Be Love et le spécialiste français de Jimi Hendrix : Yazid Manou ! C'est après un stage d'été au Berklee College of Music de Boston et des cours à l'American School of Modern Music à Paris, que Thomas Naïm fonde avec la chanteuse Joyce Hozé le duo Tom & Joyce. Influencé par la MPB, la bossa nova des 60's et le jazz, le groupe enregistre deux albums : Tom & Joyce sorti en 2002 (Yellow Productions/East West) et Antigua en 2005 (Yellow Productions/Tommy Boy) sur lequel participe le légendaire batteur Tony Allen et dont certains morceaux seront remixés par des producteurs de dance music parmi les plus reconnus (Masters At Work, François Kevorkian ou Bob Sinclar). Par la suite, Thomas Naïm sera sollicité pour accompagner sur scène ou en studio de nombreux artistes venant d'horizons parfois très différents parmi lesquels Youn Sun Nah, Hugh Coltman, Hindi Zahra, Sébastien Tellier, Ala.ni, Mayra Andrade, Tiken Jah Fakoly, Blick Bassy, Idrissa Diop, Bob Sinclar, Salomé de Bahia, Brisa Roché, Bernard Lavilliers, Albin de la Simone, Michel Fugain, Claire Diterzi, Renan Luce… Il mène en parallèle depuis plusieurs années une carrière solo à la tête d'un trio avec le bassiste Marcello Giuliani et le batteur Raphaël Chassin avec lesquels il enregistre en 2018 l'album Desert Highway. En 2020, Thomas Naïm va confronter son trio aux compositions du maître Jimi Hendrix et enregistrer l'album Sounds of Jimi. L'idée de départ n'est pas de reprendre les titres d'Hendrix tel quel mais de trouver pour chaque morceau une esthétique plus personnelle, et à l'exception de trois titres chantés par Hugh Coltman et Célia Kameni, de privilégier l'approche instrumentale. L'album accueillera également en invités Erik Truffaz à la trompette et Camille Bazbaz à l'orgue. En 2022, il retourne en studio avec son trio augmenté de l'organiste/pianiste de Marc Benham pour enregistrer, sous la houlette du réalisateur grand angle Daniel Yvinec, On the Far Side, un album consacré à ses propres compositions dont la sortie est prévue pour février 2023. Thomas Naïm y retrouve ses premières amours, le Jazz, qu'il mêle à ses influences de toujours la pop, le rock psychédélique, les bandes originales de films et mille autres choses. Laurent Bardainne (saxophone) souffle sur trois titres un vent créatif qui donne à cet album unique une force et une couleur presque mystique. Avec May This Be Love, Thomas Naïm devient le 1er guitariste au monde, à reprendre Hendrix en guitare solo. Titres interprétés au grand studio - Hey Joe Live RFI - The Wind Cries Mary, extrait de l'album - Purple Haze Live RFI Line Up : Thomas Naïm, guitare.

I'm a speech language pathologist on staff at the Aphasia Center of California and I see clients with aphasia and other neurogenic communication disorders in my LPAA-focused private practice. I'm also a member of the Aphasia Access Podcast Working Group. Aphasia Access strives to provide members with information, inspiration and ideas that support their aphasia care through a variety of educational materials and resources.   I'm today's host for an episode that will feature Dr. Elizabeth Hoover, who was selected as a 2024 Tavistock Trust for Aphasia Distinguished Scholar, USA and Canada.   Liz Hoover is a clinical professor of speech language and hearing sciences and the clinical director of the Aphasia Resource Center at Boston University. She holds board certification from the Academy of Neurologic Communication Disorders and Sciences, or ANCDS, and is an ASHA fellow. Liz was a founding member of Aphasia Access and served on the board for several years. She has 30 years of experience working with people with aphasia and other communication disorders across the continuum of care. She's contributed to numerous presentations and publications, and most of her work focuses on the effectiveness of group treatment for individuals with aphasia. Liz, welcome back to the podcast.   So in 2017 you spoke with Ellen Bernstein Ellis about intensive comprehensive aphasia programs or ICAPs and inter professional practice at the Aphasia Resource Center at BU and treatment for verb production using VNest, among other topics. So this time, I thought we could focus on some of your recent research with Gayle DeDe and others on conversation group treatment.   Liz Hoover Sounds good.   Lyssa Rome All right, so my first question is how you became interested in studying group treatment?   Liz Hoover Yeah, I actually have Dr. Jan Avent to thank for my interest in groups. She was my aphasia professor when I was a graduate student doing my masters at Cal State East Bay. As you know, Cal State East Bay is home to the Aphasia Treatment Program. When I was there, it preceded ATP. But I was involved in her cooperative group treatment study, and as a graduate student, I was allowed to facilitate some of her groups in this study, and I was involved in the moderate-to-severe group. She was also incredibly generous at sharing that very early body of work for socially oriented group treatments and exposing us to the work of John Lyons and Audrey Holland. Jan also invited us to go to a conference on group treatment that was run by the Life Link group. It's out of Texas Woman's University, Delaina Walker-Batson and Jean Ford. And it just was a life changing and pivotal experience for me in recognizing how group treatment could not be just an adjunct to individual goals, but actually be the type of treatment that is beneficial for folks with aphasia. So it's been a love my entire career.   Lyssa Rome And now I know you've been studying group treatment in this randomized control trial. This was a collaborative research project, so I'm hoping you can tell us a little bit more about that project. What were your research questions? Tell us a little bit more.   Liz Hoover Yeah, so thank you. I'll just start by acknowledging that the work is funded by two NIDCD grants, and to acknowledge their generosity, and then also acknowledge Dr. Gayle DeDe, who is currently at Temple University. She is a co- main PI in this work, and of course it wouldn't have happened without her. So you know, Gayle and I have known each other for many, many years. She's a former student, doctoral student at Boston University, and by way of background, she and I were interested in working together and interested in trying to build on some evidence for group treatment. I think we drank the Kool Aid early on, as you might say.   And you know, just looking at the literature, there have been two trials on the evidence for this kind of work. And so those of us who are involved in groups, know that it's helpful for people with aphasia, our clients tell us how much they enjoy it, and they vote with their feet, right? In that they come back for more treatments. And aphasia centers have grown dramatically in the last couple of decades in the United States.   So clearly we know they work, but what we don't know is why they work. What are those essential ingredients, and how is that driving the change that we think we see? And from a personal perspective, that's important for me to understand and for us to have explained in the literature, because until we can justify it in the scientific terms, I worry it will forever be a private-pay adjunct that is only accessible to people who can pay for it, or who are lucky enough to be close enough to a center that can get them access—virtual groups aside, and the advent of that—but it's important that I think this intervention is validated to the scientific community in our field.   So we designed this trial. It's a randomized control trial to help build the research evidence for conversation, group treatment, and to also look at the critical components. This was inspired by a paper actually from Nina Simmons Mackie in 2014 and Linda Worrell. They looked at group treatment and showed that there were at least eight first-tier elements that changed the variability or on which we might modify group conversation treatment. And so, you know, if we're all doing things differently, how can we predict the change, and how can we expect outcomes?   Lyssa Rome So I was hoping you could describe this randomized, controlled trial. You know, it was collaborative, and I'm curious about what you and your collaborators had as your research questions.   Liz Hoover So our primary aims of the study were to understand if communication or conversation treatment is associated with changes in measures of communicative ability and psychosocial measures. So that's a general effectiveness question. And then to look in more deeply to see if the group size or the group composition or even the individual profile of the client with aphasia influences the expected outcome.   Because if you think about group treatment, the size of the group is not an insignificant issue, right? So a small group environment of two people has much more… it still gives you some peer support from the other individual with aphasia, but you have many opportunities for conversational turns and linguistic and communication practice and to drive the saliency of the conversation in a direction that's meaningful and useful and informative.   Whereas in a large group environment of say, six to eight people with aphasia and two clinicians, you might see much more influence in the needed social support and vicarious learning and shared lived experience and so forth, and still have some opportunity for communication and linguistic practice. So there's conflicting hypotheses there about which group environment might be better for one individual over another.   And then there's the question of, well, who's in that group with you? Does that matter? Some of the literature says that if you have somebody with a different profile of aphasia, it can set up a therapeutic benefit of the helper experience, where you can gain purpose by enabling and supporting and being a facilitator of somebody else with aphasia.   But if you're in a group environment where your peers have similar conversation goals as you, maybe your practice turns, and your ability to learn vicariously from their conversation turns is greater. So again, two conflicting theories here about what might be best. So we decided to try and manipulate these group environments and measure outcomes on several different communication measures. We selected measures that were linguistic, functional, and psychosocial.   We collected data over four years. The first two years, we enrolled people with all different kinds of profiles of aphasia. The only inclusion criteria from a communication perspective, as you needed some ability to comprehend at a sentence level, so that you could process what was being said by the other people in the group. And in year one, the treatment was at Boston University and Temple University, which is where Gayle's aphasia center is housed. In year two, we added a community site at the Adler Aphasia Center and Maywood, New Jersey, so we had three sites going.   The treatment conditions were dyad, large group, and then a no treatment group. So this group was tested at the same time, didn't get any other intervention, and then we gave them group treatment once the testing cycle was over. So we call that a historical control or a delayed-treatment control group. And then in years three and four, we aim to enroll people who had homogeneous profiles.   So the first through the third cycle was people with moderate to severe profiles. And then in the final, fourth cycle, it was people with mild profiles with aphasia. This allowed us to collect enough data in enough size to be able to look at overall effectiveness and then effects of heterogeneity or homogeneity in the group, and the influence of the profile of aphasia, as well as the group size.   And across the four years, we aim to enroll 216 participants, and 193 completed the study. So it's the largest of its kind for this particular kind of group treatment that we know of anyway. So this data set has allowed us to look at overall efficacy of conversation group treatment, and then also take a look at a couple of those critical ingredients. Does the size of the group make a difference? And does the composition of your group make a difference?   Lyssa Rome And what did you find?   Liz Hoover Well, we're not quite done with all of our analysis yet, but we found overall that there's a significant treatment effect for just the treatment conditions, not the control group. So whether you were in the dyad or whether you were in a large treatment group, you got better on some of the outcome measures we selected. And the control group not only didn't but on a couple of those measures, their performance actually declined. And so showing significantly that there's a treatment effect. Did you have a question?   Lyssa Rome Yeah, I wanted to interrupt and ask, what were the outcome measures? What outcome measures were you looking at?   Liz Hoover Yeah. So we had about 14 measures in total that aligned with the core outcome set that was established by the ROMA group. So we had as our linguistic measure the Comprehensive Aphasia Test. We had a primary outcome measure, which was a patient reported measure of functional communication, which is the ACOM by Will Hula and colleagues, the Aphasia Communication Outcome measure, we had Audrey Holland and colleagues' objective functional measure, the CADL, and then a series of other psychosocial and patient reported outcome measures, so the wall question from the ALA, the Moss Social Scale, the Communication Confidence Rating Scale in Aphasia by Leora Cherney and Edie Babbitt.   Lyssa Rome Thank you. When I interrupted you to ask about outcome measures. You were telling us about some of the findings so far.   Liz Hoover Yeah, so our primary outcome measures showed significant changes in language for both the treatment conditions and a slightly larger effect for the large group. And then we saw, at a more micro level, the results pointing to a complex interaction, actually, between the group size and the treatment outcome. So we saw changes on more linguistic measures. like the repetition sub scores of the CAT and verb naming from another naming subtest for the dyad group, whereas bigger, more robust changes on the ACOM the CADL and the discourse measure from the CAT for the large group.   And then diving in a little bit more deeply for the composition, these data are actually quite interesting. The papers are in review and preparation at the moment, but it looks like we are seeing significant changes for the moderate-to-severe group on objective functional measures and patient reported functional measures of communication, which is so exciting to see for this particular cohort, whose naming scores were zero, in some cases, on entrance, and we're seeing for the mild group, some changes on auditory comprehension, naming, not surprisingly, and also the ACOM and the CADL. So they're showing the same changes, just with different effect sizes or slightly different ranges. And once again, no change in the control group, and in some cases, on some measures, we're seeing a decline in performance over time.   So it's validating that the intervention is helpful in general. What we found with the homogeneous groups is that in a homogeneous large group environment, those groups seem to do a little better. There's a significant effect over time between the homogeneous and the heterogeneous groups. So thinking about why that might have taken place, we wonder if the shared lived experience of your profile of aphasia, your focus on similar kinds of communication, or linguistic targets within the conversation environment might be helping to offset the limited number of practice trials you get in that larger group environment.   So that's an interesting finding to see these differences in who's in the group with you. Because I think clinically, we tend to assign groups, or sort of schedule groups according to what's convenient for the client, what might be pragmatic for the setting, without really wondering why one group could be important or one group might be preferential. If we think about it, there are conflicting hypotheses as to why a group of your like aphasia severity might have a different outcome, right? That idea that you can help people who have a different profile than you, that you're sharing different kinds of models of communication, versus that perhaps more intense practice effect when you share more specific goals and targets and lived experiences. So it's interesting to think about the group environment from that perspective, I think,   Lyssa Rome And to have also some evidence that clinicians and people at aphasia centers can look to help make decisions about group compositions, I think is incredibly helpful.   Earlier, you mentioned that one of the goals of this research project has been to identify the active ingredients of group therapy. And I know that you've been part of a working group for the Rehabilitation Treatment Specification System, or RTSS. Applying that, how have you tried to identify the active ingredients and what? What do you think it is about these treatments that actually drives change?   Liz Hoover I'll first of all say, this is a work in process. You know, I don't think we've got all of the answers. We're just starting to think about it with the idea, again, that if we clinically decide to make some changes to our group, we're at least doing it with some information behind us, and it's a thoughtful and intentional change, as opposed to a gut reaction or a happenstance change. So Gayle and I have worked on developing this image, or this model. It's in a couple of our papers. We can share the resources for that. But it's about trying to think of the flow of communication, group treatment, and what aspects of the treatment might be influential in the outcomes we see downstream.   I think for group treatment, you can't separate entirely many of the ingredients. Group treatment is multifaceted, it's interconnected, and it's not possible—I would heavily debate that with anybody—I don't think it's possible to sort of truly separate some of these ingredients. But when you alter the composition or the environment in which you do the treatment, I do think we are influencing the relative weight of these ingredients.   So we've been thinking about there being this group dynamics component, which is the supportive environment of the peers in the group with you, that social support, the insider affiliation and shared lived experience, the opportunity to observe and see the success of some of these different communication strategies, so that vicarious learning that takes place as you see somebody else practice. But also, I think, cope in a trajectory of your treatment process.   And then we've got linguistic practice so that turn taking where you're actually trying to communicate verbally using supported communication where you're expanding on your utterances or trying to communicate verbally in a specific way or process particular kinds of linguistic targets. A then communication practice in terms of that multimodal effectiveness of communication.   And these then are linked to these three ingredients, dynamic group dynamics, linguistic practice and communication practice. They each have their own mechanism of action or a treatment theory that explains how they might affect change. So for linguistic practice, it's the amount of practice, but also how you hear it practiced or see it practiced with the other group participant. And the same thing for the various multimodal communication acts. And in thinking about a large group versus the dyad or a small group, you know you've got this conflicting hypothesis or the setup for a competing best group, or benefit in that the large group will influence more broadly in the group dynamics, or more deeply in the group dynamics, in that there's a much bigger opportunity to see the vicarious learning and experience the support and potentially experience the communication practice, given a varied number of participants.   But yet in the dyad, your opportunity for linguistic practice is much, much stronger. And our work has counted this the exponential number of turns you get in a dyad versus a large group. And you know, I think that's why the results we saw with the dyad on those linguistic outcomes were unique to that group environment.   Lyssa Rome It points, I think, to the complexity of decision making around group structure and what's right for which client, maybe even so it sounds like some of that work is still in progress. I'm curious about sort of thinking about what you know so far based on this work, what advice would you have for clinicians who are working in aphasia centers or or helping to sort of think about the structure of group treatments? What should clinicians in those roles keep in mind?   Liz Hoover Yeah, that's a great question, and I'll add the caveat that this may change. My advice for this may change in a year's time, or it might evolve as we learn more. But I think what it means is that the decisions you make should be thoughtful. We're starting to learn more about severity in aphasia and how that influences the outcomes. So I think, what is it that your client wants to get out of the group? If they're interested in more linguistic changes, then perhaps the dyad is a better place to start. If they clearly need, or are voicing the need, for more psychosocial support, then the large, you know, traditional sized and perhaps a homogeneous group is the right place to start. But they're both more effective than no treatment. And so being, there's no wrong answer. It's just understanding your client's needs. Is there a better fit?   And I think that's, that's, that's my wish, that people don't see conversation as something that you do at the beginning to build a rapport, but that it's worthy of being an intervention target. It should be most people's primary goal. I think, right, when we ask, what is it you'd like? “I want to talk more. I want to have a conversation.” Audrey Holland would say it's a moral imperative to to treat the conversation and to listen to folks' stories. So just to think carefully about what it is your client wants to achieve, and if there's an environment in which that might be easier to help them achieve that.   Lyssa Rome It's interesting, as you were saying that I was thinking about what you said earlier on about sort of convincing funders about the value of group treatment, but what you're saying now makes me think that it's all your work is also valuable in convincing speech therapists that referrals to groups or dyads is valuable and and also for people with aphasia and their families that it's worth seeking out.   I'm curious about where in the continuum of care this started for the people who were in your trial. I mean, were these people with chronic aphasia who had had strokes years earlier? Was it a mix? And did that make a difference?   Liz Hoover It was a mix. I think our earliest participant was six months post-onset. Our most chronic participant was 26 years post-onset. So a wide range. We want, obviously, from a study perspective, we needed folks to be outside of the traditional window of spontaneous recovery in stroke-induced aphasia.   But it was important to us to have a treatment dose that was reasonable and applicable to a United States healthcare climate, right? So twice a week for an hour is something that people would get reimbursed for. The overall dose is the minimum that's been shown to be effective in the RELEASE collaborative trial papers. And then, you know, but still, half, less than half the dose that the Elman and Bernstein Ellis study found to be effective. So there may be some wiggle room there to see if, if a larger dose is more effective.   But yeah, I think it's that idea of finding funding, convincing people that this is not just a reasonable treatment approach, but a good approach for many outcomes for people with chronic aphasia. I mean, you know, one of the biggest criticisms we hear from the giants in our field is the frustration with aphasia being treated like it's a quick fix and can be done. But you know, so much of the work shows that people are only just beginning to understand their condition by the time they're discharged from traditional outpatient services. And so there's a need for ongoing treatment indefinitely, I think, as your goals change, as you age, and as your wish to participate in different things changes over a lifetime,   Lyssa Rome Yeah, absolutely. And I think too, when we think about sort of the role of hope, if you know, if there is additional evidence showing that there can be change after that sort of traditional initial period, when we think that change happens the most, that can provide a lot of hope and motivation, I think, to people.   Liz Hoover yeah, we're look going to be looking next at predictors of change, so looking at our study entrance scores and trying to identify which participants were the responders versus the non-responders that you know, because group effects are one thing, but it's good to see who seems to benefit the most from these individual types of environments.   And an early finding is that confidence, or what some people in the field, I'm learning now are referring to as actually communication self-efficacy, but that previous exposure to group potentially and that confidence in your communication is inversely correlated with benefits from treatment on other measures. So if you've got a low confidence in your ability to communicate functionally in different environments, you're predicted to be a responder to conversation treatment.   Lyssa Rome Oh, that's really interesting. What else are you looking forward to working on when it comes to this data set or other projects that you have going on?   Liz Hoover Yeah. So as I mentioned, there's a lot of data still for us to dig into, looking at those individual responders or which factors or variables might make an impact. There is the very next on the list, we're also going to be looking very shortly at the dialogic conversation outcomes. So, it's a conversation treatment. How has conversation changed? That's a question we need to answer. So we're looking at that currently, and might look more closely at other measures. And then I think the question of the dose is an interesting one. The question of how individual variables or the saliency of the group may impact change is another potentially interesting question. There are many different directions you can go.   You know, we've got 193 participants in the study, with three separate testing time points, so it's a lot of data to look at still. And I think we want to be sure we understand what we're looking at, and what those active ingredients might be, that we've got the constructs well defined before we start to recruit for another study and to expand on these findings further.   Lyssa Rome When we were meeting earlier, getting ready for this talk, you mentioned to me a really valuable video resource, and I wanted to make sure we take some time to highlight that. Can you tell us a little bit about what you worked on with your colleagues at Boston University?   Liz Hoover Yes, thank you. So I'll tell you a little bit. We have a video education series. Some of you may have heard about this already, but it's up on our website so bu.edu/aphasiacenter, and we'll still share that link as well. And it's a series of short, aphasia-friendly videos that are curated by our community to give advice and share lived experiences from people with aphasia and their care partners.   This project came about right on the heels of the COVID shutdown at our university. I am involved in our diagnostic clinic, and I was seeing folks who had been in acute care through COVID being treated with people who were wearing masks, who had incredibly shortened lengths of stay because people you know rightly, were trying to get them out of a potentially vulnerable environment. And what we were seeing is a newly diagnosed cohort of people with aphasia who were so under-informed about their condition, and Nina that has a famous quote right of the public being woefully uninformed of the aphasia condition and you don't think it can get any worse until It does.   And I thought, gosh, wouldn't it be wonderful to be able to point them to some short education videos that are by people who have lived their same journey or a version of their same journey. So we fundraised and collaborated with a local production company to come up with these videos. And I'll share, Lyssa, we just learned last week that this video series has been awarded the ASHA 2025 Media Outreach Award. So it's an award winning series.   Lyssa Rome Yeah, that's fantastic, and it's so well deserved. They're really beautifully and professionally produced. And I think I really appreciated hearing from so many different people with aphasia about their experiences as the condition is sort of explained more. So thank you for sharing those and we'll put the links in our show notes along with links to the other articles that you've mentioned in this conversation in our show notes. So thanks.   Liz Hoover Yeah, and I'll just put a big shout out to my colleague, Jerry Kaplan, who's the amazing interviewer and facilitator in many of these videos, and the production company, which is Midnight Brunch. But again, the cinematography and the lighting. They're beautifully done. I think I'm very, very happy with them.   Lyssa Rome Yeah, congrats again on the award too. So to wrap up, I'm wondering if there's anything else that you want listeners to take away from this conversation or from the work that you've been doing on conversation treatments.   Liz Hoover I would just say that I would encourage everybody to try group treatment. It's a wonderful option for intervention for people, and to remind everyone of Barbara Shadden and Katie Strong's work, of that embedded storytelling that can come out in conversation, and of the wonderful Audrey Holland's words, of it being a moral imperative to help people tell their story and to converse. It's yeah… You'll drink the Kool Aid if you try it. Let me just put it that way. It's a wonderful intervention that seems to be meaningful for most clients I've ever had the privilege to work with.   Lyssa Rome I agree with that. And meaningful too, I think for clinicians who get to do the work.   Liz Hoover, thank you so much for your work and for coming to talk with us again, for making your second appearance on the podcast. It's been great talking with you.   Liz Hoover Thank you. It's been fun. I appreciate it.   Lyssa Rome And thanks also to our listeners for the references and resources mentioned in today's show.

In this episode of the Inside JABA Series podcast, we dive into a fascinating discussion on health-related routines for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). Dr. Katie McHugh, Dr. Claudia Dozier, and Editor-in-Chief Dr. John Borrero share insights from their recent study, Synchronous Reinforcement Schedules Promote Tolerance of Health-Related Routines for Adults with Disabilities. The conversation explores how synchronous reinforcement schedules—where reinforcement occurs in real time alongside behavior—can improve tolerance for essential routines like toothbrushing, bathing, wearing medical devices, and more. The research team highlights case studies, methodological considerations, and the broader implications for clinical practice. Key Topics Covered ✅ Synchronous reinforcement schedules and why they may be more effective (and preferred) than delayed reinforcement. ✅ Applications for health routines such as toothbrushing, bathing, mask-wearing, GPS bracelets, helmets, and pulse oximeters. ✅ Collaborative service delivery with nursing and medical professionals. ✅ Challenges in participant consent and maintaining experimental control. ✅ Importance of measuring both behavioral outcomes and affective states. ✅ Future research directions, including reinforcer assessments, continuous vs. discontinuous schedules, and maintaining treatment effects. Next Steps and Future Directions Editorial updates for broader keyword usage to increase accessibility outside of behavior analysis. Comparing graduated exposure with contingent vs. synchronous reinforcement interventions. Implementing more systematic preference and reinforcer assessments in future studies. Exploring hybrid approaches (e.g., combining graduated exposure with synchronous reinforcement). Collecting more comprehensive data on participant affect and treatment integrity.
