Dr Huu Kim Le is an Australian child analyst and psychiatrist, specialising in video game addiction. Based in South Australia, Kim can reach young and remote Australians across Australia thanks to telepsychiatry. Growing up as a gamer himself, he’s combined the two loves in his life — video games and medicine — and is an expert in the rapidly growing field of gaming addiction. In today’s episode, he discusses types of gaming disorders, insights into the type of gamer who is at risk, how gaming designers appeal to the types of personality traits that we each possess, how they use financial incentives to maximise gaming promotion and participation, and the potential inherent issues that can negatively impact children who are susceptible to addiction.   Key takeaways: In China, the government is imposing a curfew for children after 10 pm and restricting the number of hours they're allowed to play games. Richard Bartle, the first virtual world game designer came up with the 'Bartle Player Types': The Killer, The Achiever, the Socialiser, and the Explorer. Research from Singapore suggests that there is a relationship between social competence, anxiety, depression and video gaming time. According to the Interactive Games and Entertainment Association in Australia, female players are just as likely as their male counterparts to be playing video games. Girls are having more problems with their internet usage, even though boys are playing more video games, with the rise of social media addiction. Telehealth is a powerful medium to overcome physical barriers and limitations. It allows people across Australia to get access to help who otherwise wouldn't be able to receive help.   Resources and links: https://cgiclinic.com/ LinkedIn - Dr Huu Kim Le Game Quitters Website Call To Mind - Supporting people to find the right mental health solution for them, anytime, anywhere.   Connect: Listen to other episodes of Reimagining Healthcare Connect with Yianni Serpanos on LinkedIn Follow HealthTechX on LinkedIn Follow HealthTechX on Instagram Follow HealthTechX on Meetup

Cutting Edge C.E. is an annual music conference in New Orleans that brings together prominent musicians, industry professionals, and filmmakers from across the country. The 26th Cutting Edge conference concluded a few weeks ago, and for my podcast coverage I had the opportunity to interview the festival's founder Eric Cager, along with some musicians performing at the conference and a filmmaker who screened work there. We seek out good people in the industry.  You can go out and meet sharks anywhere, but you don’t need to come and meet them at the Cutting Edge.” - Eric Cager, founder and executive director of Cutting Edge C.E.  Below is a breakdown of the interviews and the approximate times when they start. 1. Bucky Goldberg and Marietta Roebuck, Wild Rabbit Salad - 4:48 min Their song "Amelia" has been tracking high on the Americana charts, and "Killing Flood in Houston" was the No. 1 song on Reverbnation in Houston back in February. 2. Filmmaker Paul Catafago, founder of Mosaic Culture Project - 8:22 min Paul is a New Yorker whose sense of artistic purpose was significantly shaped by the 9/11 attacks. Along with his Mosaic partner Lance Arnold, Paul has put together a series of documentaries on icons in the New Orleans music community. Some of the musicians he interviewed include Clarence "Frogman" Henry, best known for his 1956 hit song "Ain't Got No Home" Deacon John Moore, guitarist for Allen Toussaint and head of the New Orleans Musicians Union George Porter Jr., "the grandfather of funk bass" who has a residency at the Maple Leaf Bar 3. Henry Turner Jr., a soul and funk musician - 20:02 min Henry who wrote the Baton Rouge theme song and spreads the Louisiana spirit across the country with his Ultimate Louisiana Tour. In appreciation of his music outreach efforts the city of Baton Rouge proclaimed Oct. 28 as Henry Turner Jr. Day. Henry's song "Ugly Man" can be heard shortly after his interview.  4.  Cliff & Jeana Downing and Michael Robertson, The Captain Ledge Band - 39:02 min Captain Ledge Band's latest album, Rumors of the Great White Skunk, was awarded the 2018 Bluegrass Album of the Year by the International Music and Entertainment Association.  The band has a sweet way to make a first impression on music industry types, which we also discuss. After the interview concludes, you can hear the band's song "Bucket Mouth," which was nominated for bluegrass song of the year by the International Music and Entertainment Association (IMEA).   5. Eric Cager, founder and director of Cutting Edge C.E. - 59:31 min We discuss the unique vision behind Cutting Edge and some of the highlights from this year's music conference.   # I had a number of takeaways from the conversation and things I wanted to expand upon, so I recorded my commentary as a separate track, which you can hear below or next in the podcast feed. # If you'd like to hear from another band that has played at Cutting Edge, check out thisinterview I did with Mystery Loves Company, a chamber rock band I met at the music conference a few years ago. # Sponsor for this Episode nsavides productions– I make videos and tell stories.

Today's guest on I Am Refocused Podcast is Music Artist Matt WestinBioMatt Westin was born and raised in a blue collar family in a middle class suburb of Pittsburgh, PA. From a young age, he pursued various passions, including academics, sports, acting, and music. After years of searching, Matt found true fulfillment in the creative outlets of acting and singing, dedicating himself to his artistic pursuits, and walking away from a promising career in engineering. With the influences of many legendary artists, ranging from Johnny Cash to Garth Brooks, “all the way” to Frank Sinatra, Matt found his voice. The thrill of live performance fed his desires, as he honed his vocal ability in bars and clubs around Pittsburgh for over a decade. His obvious drive and talent quickly won over his family's initial disapproval of his walking away from an engineering career, and they became his biggest supporters. Tragically, after a bravely fought battle with Leukemia, Matt's father succumbed to complications of chemotherapy, in April 2016. As a true family man, Matt was utterly devastated and struggled day to day with the reality of his father's death. After months of depression, instead of self-destructing, Matt decided to honor his father's memory, by finally pursuing his music career, as his father had encouraged. Deciding to make a country record in his father's honor, and being introduced by a mutual friend, to world-class musician/songwriter/producer Bryan Cole, the stage was set. Bryan took on the project as producer, believing in his talent and vision, and guiding Matt in making a first-class country record. Bryan recruited long-time friend and mix engineer, Doug Kasper to record and mix the record at nearby Tonic Recording Studios. With radio-ready songs, legendary musicians Mike Brignardello (Big & Rich, Blake Shelton, bass) and Steve Hinson (Dolly Parton, Luke Bryan, steel guitar), and an amazing up- and-coming musician, Adam Ernst, Matt dedicated an entire year to making the record he and his father would be proud of. First single, “Our Redneck of the Woods” reached the IndieWorld Country chart and the European Country Music Association charts. Matt is nominated for a 2018 International Music and Entertainment Association award.http://www.mattwestin.com https://www.facebook.com/MattWestinMusic/ Press Kit: https://drive.google.com/open?id=120BkqX09gNVkTGMrrAd6RyC7GY1E3bM4 CONTACT:Michael StoverHear this podcast on Googleplay, TuneinRadio, iTunes, Spreaker, Youtube, and iHeartradioPodcast weekly broadcast location:Rockafellas Barber Shop (Owner: Rico Rodriguez)1733 Babcock Rd.
