Authored by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison and John Jay to appear anonymously in New York papers under the pseudonym "Publius" in 1787 and 1788, the Federalist Papers aimed to rally public support for the proposed Constitution of the United States.

In today's episode, we speak to Estes Park local John Messiner about a hunger strike undertaken to bring attention to what he feels is the town of Estes Park's inaction in providing humanitarian assistance to the city and county of Denver after they have pleaded for help from regional communities. According to Fox 31 News out of Denver: Dozens of migrants are arriving in Denver each night, adding to a total of more than 3,600 migrants served by the city in less than a month.Saying resources are stressed to the max, Denver officials are calling on neighboring cities, counties, and churches to step up. At Denver's first city council meeting on Tuesday, Councilwoman Amanda Sandoval made a plea for help.“Denver cannot be the only ones who are shouldering this responsibility,” Sandoval said.According to a release from the City and County of Denver earlier today: City resources to respond to this crisis remain at capacity, and we continue to call on the federal government, private businesses, and area non-profits to assist. The need for more widespread support from other organizations is greater than ever, as the city is developing plans to return existing migrant shelters back to their original uses in the weeks ahead. Denver continues to manage a reception center, two congregate emergency shelters, an overflow shelter, and several hotel and community partner shelters.Due to the security and sensitivity of this evolving situation, the city is not releasing the locations of these shelters. We continue to ask the media not to report the names/locations of the emergency shelters as well. In addition, we ask all media outlets to please be respectful of the difficult and traumatic circumstances faced by our migrant community. Please be respectful when interacting with our new guests for your reporting.As of 1 p.m. on Thursday, January 5:* Number of Migrants that Arrived Overnight:  75* Total Number of Migrants Served by the City since Dec. 9: approximately 3770 * Number of Migrants Sheltered in City Emergency Shelters:  841 * Number of Migrants Sheltered in Partner Emergency Shelters: 822 Please note that yesterday's press release incorrectly stated that 167 migrants arrived overnight. This number was incorrect. A total of 21 migrants arrived over Tuesday night into Wednesday.Mayor Michael B, Hancock today made the following statement regarding President Biden's border enforcement actions announcement: “This is a positive step from President Biden. I'm hopeful these additional resources and enforcement actions will help alleviate the pressures this influx of migrants is putting on Denver and cities across the country. The Administration's offer of funding support and coordination, particularly around sheltering and assistance, is especially critical. I also echo the President's call for Congress to take meaningful action on comprehensive immigration reform. That is the most long-term solution to a pressing humanitarian crisis.” Employment Opportunities The City and County of Denver will be hiring another 100 Short-Term Shelter Assistants to support the migrant sheltering effort.

Distances, Radial Distribution and Total Number of Galactic Supernova Remnants by S. Ranasinghe et al. on Monday 12 September We present a table of 215 SNRs with distances. %estimate New distances are found to SNR G$51.26+0.11$ of $6.6 pm 1.7$ kpc using HI absorption spectra%Additionally, and to 5 other SNRs using maser/molecular cloud associations. We recalculate the distances and errors to all SNRs using a consistent rotation curve and provide errors where they were not previously estimated. This results in a significant distance revisions for 20 SNRs. Because of observational constraints and selection effects, there %seems to be is an apparent deficit of observed number of Galactic supernova remnants (SNRs). To investigate this, we employ two methods. The first method applies correction factors for the selection effects to derive the radial density distribution. The second method compares functional forms for the SNR surface density and selection function against the data to find which functions are consistent with the data. The total number of SNRs in the Galaxy is $sim3500$ (Method 1) or in the range $sim2400$ to $sim5600$ (Method 2). We conclude that the current observed number of SNRs is not yet complete enough to give a well-determined total SNR number or radial density function. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2209.04570v1

For the first time in nearly 50 years, the number of dialysis patients shrunk, not because more people were healthy, but because Covid struck. People with kidney failure and the associated illnesses are more prone to severe infection, but many people also neglected getting their treatments during the pandemic. And despite dialysis centers implementing Covid precautions, some facilities didn't follow their own infection control policies. Duaa Eldeib, reporter at ProPublica, joins us for how dialysis patients were the pandemic's perfect victims and how few people took notice.

Summary by author Julia: This podcast starts from a scene in an American hospice and then leads to the topic-- terminal disease and death in China and the U.S. After shortly introducing the definition of terminal disease/illness in both cultures, the podcast mainly focuses on the “honesty” of the family with a terminal disease patient. Chinese families tend to tell “white lies” to the patient while American families are more direct. This is caused by the difference between collectivist and individualist societies.

The proportions of those who responded 'satisfied' and ‘very satisfied’, in comparison, both went up in the year after the refurbishment, to 40 and 35 percent respectively, and these were the two most common responses that year.

I do not often do this, but I saw a post from someone who is a great guy, Mr. Brent Lindeque this morning on facebook. I decided there was a need for comment on this, and so we discussed it on the programme. In a post this morning, Brent asks the question "Why does the Government and the media continue to report on and put emphasis on, the TOTAL number of cases of Covid-19 in South Africa, instead of the number of ACTIVE cases? The media of course uses the official information, without covering at all, or at times putting very little emplasis on, the number after recoveries, which is very much different. Sensationalism or fear-mongering? I have been saying this for months, and I completely agree with Brent. Have a listen and let us know what you think. CLICK HERE TO LEAVE A VOICE COMMENT.

The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) licensed a total number of 20 new Internet Service Providers (ISPs) between January and October this year. This makes the operators licensed by the NCC 120 in number. The number of licensed operators was at one time over 170 but because of the challenges surrounding the business, many operators quit. The exit of some of the old ISPs was due to a number of challenges faced in the sector, and this has, in turn, had an effect on the active service providers. One of the challenges is the serious pressure the ISPs have come under from mobile network operators (MNOs) over the years. The intense competition and other operational challenges such as increasing capital and operational expenditure have been cited as the bane of ISPs in the country. Addressing the issue, the NCC’s Director of Licensing and Authorisation, Funlola Akiode, urged the operators to renew their licenses and fulfil their licensing obligations.--- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/newscast-africa/support --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/newscast-africa/support Learn more about your ad choices.

BENZO FREE LINKSWebsitePodcast Home PageFeedback FormDisclaimer Podcast Summary This podcast is dedicated to those who struggle with side effects, dependence, and withdrawal from benzos, a group of drugs from the benzodiazepine and nonbenzodiazepine classes, better known as anti-anxiety drugs, sleeping pills, sedatives, and minor tranquilizers. Their common brand names include Ambien, Ativan, Klonopin, Lunesta, Valium, and Xanax. Introduction In today's intro, we tackle the subject of suicide. I share a story about a book I've been listening to, Robin by David Itzkoff, and about how hearing about his tragic death triggered my emotions this past weekend. I then compared his story with mine and others and reminded people that benzo withdrawal is not a terminal diagnosis, not by a long shot. This illness is temporary, and if you are having suicidal thoughts, to seek help and get support. Benzo Stories Today's benzo story was from Lynn in the United Kingdom. Featured Topic Today's featured topic: Quick Questions About Anxiety, Insomnia, Benzos, and Withdrawal

You can do all the Customer Satisfaction Surveys you like. For me, the real answer on how well you're doing is...Are Guests Coming Back? Re-bookings are, in my mind, the best measure of real-time impact or customer satisfaction. This metric is expressed as % And is calculated by Number of Spa Guests who Re-book / Total Number of Spa Guests A re-booking is considered to a booking made immediately following the treatment.  It's worth noting that a guest who makes another booking sometime after their initial treatment would not be counted in this KPI. Rather, we would capture them in the Repeat Guest or Return Guest KPI.   #spabusiness #hotelspa #spametrics #KPI

What Goes into a Successful Podcast? Know who your target audience is and know what they want. Give it to them via audio that is not distracting Use a consistent schedule so they can add you to their routine Your content should be so good it inspires people to tell their friends. Don’t quit Don’t worry about making money for three years. Don’t OBSESS about your stats Focus on your audience. The math of podcast downloads is Total Number of downloads = Value X Promotion If you promote an episode that has no value, your results are pointless. If you deliver value but don’t promote it (and by that I mean you might have to get out of your chair) then your podcast will grow slowly.

How do benzodiazepines work? What do they do in the body? Why do they initially calm us, but then stop working? And why are they so incredibly hard to stop? When we take a look at the neurotransmitters GABA and glutamate, we find a few answers. In today's episode, we examine two key chemicals in the brain and discover a few insights into why withdrawal is so difficult for so many. We also answer a couple questions about support groups, spotlight two regional organizations, and hear a story from Nova Scotia, Canada. https://www.easinganxiety.com/post/the-science-of-benzos-gaba-and-glutamate-bfp018Video ID: BFP018 Chapters 00:00 Introduction07:50 Mailbag12:35 Benzo News15:24 Benzo Spotlight19:32 Benzo Story25:52 The Science of Benzos42:22 Moment of Peace  Resources The following resource links are provided as a courtesy to our listeners.

I even added some ukulele music to lighten the mood. The message was simple, why wait until your back to normal to feel happy. Grab every happy moment you can when you can. You need it those joyful moments now more than ever.  Mailbag This is where we share questions and comments which were discussed: QUESTION: Are there any emotional support groups or organizations specifically for families and other caregivers of those recovering from benzo use?This comment was from an anonymous listener. Unfortunately, I didn't have a good answer and didn't know of any off-hand. I did ask for input from our listeners to see if anyone could provide one that I could share with this listener or anyone else.QUESTION: Starting a withdrawal support group in NYC, can I help spread the word?This comment was from Naomi, in NYC. She first asked if I knew of any support groups in NYC, which I didn't. But then said that she was going to start up a Meet-Up and could I help spread the word. I said I would and would add a new category to our resources just for regional support groups.  Benzo Spotlight Today's spotlight shined on two regional support groups in the U.K. They are Bristol and District Tranquilliser Project (BTP) and Battle Against Tranquillisers (BAT). Both groups provide one-on-one and group services to people living in the Bristol and South Gloucestershire areas. Even though these services are not available outside of this area, their websites are still useful resources.  Benzo Story Today's story was from Jane in Glace Bay, Nova Scotia, Canada.  Feature Today's featured topic: The Science of Benzos: GABA and Glutamate In the feature, we examined the science of how benzodiazepines work inside of the body. In particular, we explored the neurotransmitter mechanisms of GABA and glutamate. Glutamate excites, and GABA inhibits, kind of like the gas pedal and the brakes on a car. Benzodiazepines enhance the actions of GABA and increase their inhibitory effect.

You want to launch a podcast, and in the past, I've talked about how there are 27 steps to launch a podcast (you might want to read that first). Today I want to cover this episode from a new angle and address some of the mistakes I am seeing on episode 636 of the School of Podcasting. If you missed the previous list it was Step 1: Pick Your Topic Step 2: Decide if you're podcasting solo or with cohost(s). Step 3: Pick how you will podcast. Step 4: Pick where will you podcast? Step 5: Pick a name. Step 6. Buy the Hardware Step 7. Buy Software Step 8 is purchasing web hosting Step 9 is installing WordPress Step 10 is to get your WordPress installation ready to podcast Step 11 is making your website look good. 12. Domain Name 13. Graphics 14. Intro Music. (optional) 15.  Media Hosting (for your mp3 files) 16. Organize Your Content 17. Record Your Content 18. Edit Your Content 19.  Assemble Your Episode 20. Add ID3 Tags 21. Upload your media 22. Write Your Show Notes 23. Copy the Media URL and Paste It Into Your Post (optional) 24. Click Publish 25. Set Up Tags for iTunes 26> Make Sure your Feed is Valid 27. Submit Your Podcast to Apple Podcasts What is the Goal of Your Podcast? You need to know this. How will know if it's successful? Is it a certain number of downloads? Is it a certain number of sales? Is it to position you as an expert? Does Your Podcast Move You Toward Your Goal? So if the goal of your show is to help build an email list, did you remember to tell people about your list. If it's to build your consulting clients, did you mention you are available for consulting? Has Someone Who Is Your Target Audience Given You Honest Feedback? Have You Checked to See If You Are Unique? There are at least five shows named "outside the box", and six shows named, "The Feed." If you name your show identical to another show, not only may you be opening the door to legal action, but these people have a head start and you will have a hard time ranking for that phrase. What you NEED to Launch a Podcast Artwork: The artwork is SQUARE with a minimum dimension of 1400X1400 and a maximum dimension of 3000X3000. The FILE SIZE needs to be less than 500 kb. Failure to meet these specifications can get you rejected, and cause your show not to update, and in some cases get removed from Apple. A Valid RSS feed. That feed will have a description of your show. Along with the author/hosts(s) of the show, categories, and an email address. This is typically entered into your media host (more on that later) or whatever tool you are using to create an RSS feed A media host. I was a Libsyn customer for 10 years before being a customer, but I feel Libsyn.com is the best. For other thoughts on podcast media hosting see this post A quick note: Stay away from Anchor or any other free media hosts. I've seen multiple attempts at free media hosting over the years and it always ends badly One published episode. You can't upload a bunch of episodes as drafts, submit your show to Apple and other directories, and the flip a switch.  While many people will tell you to launch with 3, 4, 10, 30 episodes, I'm here to tell you that you can launch with as many as you want (please note they DO NOT automatically download when someone subscribes, your audience needs to manually download them) but you only NEED one. The Podcast Launch Schedule I see so many people picking a launch date and then trying to fit their podcast into it. This is like picking a time for Thanksgiving dinner and you've never cooked a turkey before. You need to have a knowledge of how long it takes to cook the bird, and likewise, you wouldn't call everyone to the table if the meal wasn't done. They would all come running to the table and ask, "Hey, where's the food?" I spent last week with Rob Walch the VP of Podcaster Relations at Libsyn.com (the oldest, largest podcast media hosting company - get a free month using the coupon code sopfree ) and he recommended to start submitting your show to directories ONE MONTH in advance and I agree and here is why: While it may take 3-5 days to be listed in Apple, in some cases it takes a few extra days for the artwork to show up (after you've been approved) and in some cases even more, time before you are shown in the results of a search You want to have your show listed in as many apps as possible. Right now I recommend Apple, Spotify, Stitcher, TuneIn, Google Podcasts, and if it's still alive Google Play Music. As I write this in September of 2018, Google Play Music is on a respirator and I would worry about it last. The reason for this is people get comfortable with their apps and devices. I use Overcast on my iPhone. If someone wants me to listen to their podcast and it's only available in Stitcher, there is a very strong chance I will never hear their episode. It costs nothing but a few minutes to submit your show to these places. I've got tutorials on how to do all of this at the School of Podcasting Once Your Ready Pick Your Date Once you are listed in the directories, then you can pick your date and start building the buzz (OK, you can start building the buzz when you submit to the directories).  A musician is not going to plan a CD release party (remember those), or an author won't setup a book reading and autograph session until they have their products in their hand. With this in mind, I strongly suggest you do NOT pick your date until you are listed in all the directories. Teach Your Audience How To Subscribe Don't just tell your audience, "I'm in Apple podcasts." SHOW THEM how to subscribe. You can take screenshots on your phone (on an iPhone hold down the button on the right side of the phone and press the home button). If you have an android phone just press the Volume Down and Power buttons at the same time, hold them for a second, and your phone will take a screenshot. You want to guide your audience into being subscribers. This is the difference between a clerk at Home Depot answer the question "Where are the plastic tarps?" by saying "Isle 8" or taking me to aisle 8 and putting one in my hand.  In that scenario, the clerk knows I'm walking out of the store with a plastic tarp. You want your audience walking out with a subscription. If you want you can use a video I made that explains how to subscribe to a podcast in Apple podcasts at www.learntosubscribe.com One thing I should mention here, while I'm assuming you have episode(s) recorded is I also assume you have a domain name. Do you have your own website? That's up to you ( I recommend it) but at least have a domain name so your website is Did You Know Siri Can Help You Subscribe to podcasts? Get on Facebook live and ask Siri on your iPhone to subscribe to your podcast. Most of the time she gets it right. Get Your Social Media Ready To Go Make sure you have your Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc ready to go with graphics, etc. There is a tool called thunderclap.it which enabled you to work with your friends so you can post a tweet on their account and so your message goes out to a huge group of people at the same time. As I write this thunderclap.it is having issues with their website (and may have gone out of business). With this in mind, supply your group of friends with a pre-written tweet that they can retweet, etc. Get Your Attitude in Check If you want your podcast to be a business eventually, then you better write a business plan on how you're going to be different, better, and more successful than your competition. I will say that it takes YEARS to generate a sizeable income. In the book "beyond powerful radio" by Valerie Geller she points out that it takes three years to build an audience on radio. Wil Schroter is the Founder + CEO @ Startups.co say that it takes at least 4 years just to get pointed toward a real business. According to a post on Quora.com Amazon started in July 1994. They reported their first profit in Jan. 2004 for the last quarter of 2003. With this in mind, get ready for the long haul. This is not a sprint. It is a marathon. How Many Downloads Should My Podcast Get? I have said the equation for downloads is Total Value in the Episode Multiplied by The total amount of intelligent promotion = Total Number of Downloads Also, keep in mind, it's not all downloads. You can see so many benefits of podcasting. I spotlight them in this podcast as a "Because of My Podcast" segment Conclusion Make sure your show is good. Get your target audience to give you feedback You only need one episode to launch, but many people launch with three. Use the right tools, and make sure you are following image guidelines. Don't start promoting your show until you are listed in the top directories Get everyone to SUBSCRIBE to your show when it launches Realize it will take time to grow your audience Common Podcast Launch Mistakes Using the wrong tool for the job. Podcaster who host their media on a web host (instead of a media host), free media hosts, companies that minor in podcast (Squarespace, Soundcloud) Only promoting Apple. In May 2018, 54.4 percent of U.S. smartphone subscribers were using a Google Android device. Apple was the second most popular smartphone operating system with a 44.3 percent market share. source Picking a launch date a few days from today (and not knowing the time frame it takes) Horrible titles of episodes ( putting the name of the show in the title along with the episode number) Overthinking everything and Underthinking the process Not checking to see if the podcast name is already in place. Not knowing how to use their equipment (bad mic technique, and bad microphones like the Blue Yeti, Blue Snowball, that are not bad, but you need to know how to use them) Thinking a "Big launch" equals a big success. This is like saying a big wedding will lead to a happy marriage. Worrying about Apple charts, and new and noteworthy. Focus on your audience, and make it easier to interact with you instead. The charts do not deliver much of a boost, and their validity is under suspicion at the moment. Rating and Reviews are nice to have, but SUBSCRIBERS are the better thing to cultivate (which is why you want to lead them) People are spamming their name. So if I had "School of Podcasting" |make money podcasting, Pat Flynn, John Lee Dumas that would be spam.

Over the next several episodes of Pep Talks for Side Hustlers, I’m going to take you behind the scenes of my strategic planning process – so be sure that you’re subscribed so that you don’t miss a step! From setting big goals to getting into the weeds with data to planning out what I’m doing next and and when it’s going to happen, I’m going to break it all down for you, and share the insights I’ve uncovered along the way. So at my day job, we used to have these big long strategic planning meetings that a) I dreaded, and b) were a total waste of time. It was basically a giant brainstorm session of all the things we had always done with a few big dreams thrown in with no data to back any of it up, no funding, and no accountability. It would get put away right after it was done, everyone would go back to putting out fires every day until the next year rolled around and it was time to look and see if we actually did anything on that list, and then create a new one for the next year. That is the opposite of what I’m going to walk you through. We’re going to look at what you’ve done over the past 12 months, or since you started your side hustle, what’s working, what’s not working, where you’re spending your time and money, what you’re getting in return and make decisions about what you’re going to keep doing, stop doing, or what your going to do more of. Okay, so let’s dive in. So when I was researching strategic planning, most of the articles I read started with goal setting… but how can you know how to get where you’re going if you don’t know where you are right now? So instead of starting with goals, today, we’re going to start with data. Yep, I’m going to ask you to look at ALL of your numbers. I know, you’re probably totally groaning right now, but this is important stuff to know! Monthly Data Tracking Worksheet To help you track your numbers every single month, I’ve got an awesome resource for you from one of my Serious Side Hustlers members – Lyndsay Clement of Ellen Grace Marketing put together a monthly data tracking worksheet and an annual scorecard spreadsheet that will help you get your numbers together – and KEEP them together so that this analysis I’m going to share with you is painless. You can get access to it by clicking this link. Okay to do this analysis I’m going to walk you through today, you’re going to need info from Google Analytics, your email marketing software, whatever your using to keep track of your sales and revenue, and your expenses. Here’s what I want you to pull together from all of these sources: Total Unique Visitors to your website each month Total number of subscribers added to your email list each month Total Number of Customers Total Revenue Total Expenses These 5 metrics are going to give us the big picture of what’s happening in our business, and will reveal where our time and money is best spent. Here’s how. First, You take the total of your website traffic for the month and divide it by the total # of subscribers. That going to give you a Conversion Percentage of Traffic to Subscribers. Make a note of that percentage. Then, you’ll take the total number of subscribers and divide it by the total number of customers. That gives you another conversion percentage, from subscribers to customers. Then, you’ll divide your revenue by your number of customers to get the average dollar amount earned per customer. Then, you’ll subtract your expenses from your revenue to get your profit. And then you’ll divide your profit by your revenue to get your profit margin. We care the most about those 5 numbers: Traffic, The Traffic to Subscriber Conversion Percentage, the Subscriber to Customer Conversion Percentage, the Average Order Amount Per Customer and the Profit Margin. The number we care about the most is the profit margin. That’s the percentage of money WE get to take home, and we want that number to increase. And there are 4 ways you can make that number go up. Yep, you guessed it. Traffic, The Traffic to Subscriber Conversion Percentage, the Subscriber to Customer Conversion Percentage, the Average Order Amount Per Customer. You have 4 places you can focus your time and money. Getting More Traffic Getting more of that traffic onto your email list Getting more of your subscribers to make the decision to buy Increasing your prices or adding new products and services But which one do you choose? Most people, myself included, think Traffic. If only I could get more traffic, then I’d have a bigger email list. When I have a bigger email list, more people will buy, and then I’ll hit my goal. But that type of thinking is totally backwards. It makes no sense to put more water in a bucket that’s full of holes. Let me explain. So I asked myself the following question – and I came to a totally different conclusion that I would have in the past: Q: If I was maxed out on traffic & subscribers, what is the #1 thing I can do to increase revenue? A: Increase Conversions from Subscriber to Customer   Q: How can you increase Conversions from Subscriber to Customer? A: Better copywriting, and a more strategic customer journey/funnel.   Q: If I was maxed out on conversions from Subscriber to Customer, what could I do to increase revenue? A: Increase conversions from visitor to subscriber.   Q: What’s #1 thing you can do to increase conversions from subscriber to customer? A: Compelling value proposition & CTA, more strategic optin placement with compelling value prop & CTA.   Q: If I was maxed out on conversions from Subscriber to Customer, and Conversions from Traffic to Subscriber, what could I do to increase revenue? A: Increase Traffic.   Q: If I was maxed out on traffic, conversions to subscriber and conversions to customer, what could I do to increase revenue? A: Raise my prices. Offer a new service.   Q: What will have the most impact on your revenue? A: Increasing conversions from subscriber to customer and working back from there (traffic to subscriber and then more traffic) bc then I’ll see exponential growth. It’s the logical place to start, even though I know I’m not maxed out on traffic, and even though I know I can increase my traffic to subscriber conversions, but why put all of those people into a bucket for them to just slip right out of one of the many holes? Patch up the bucket, and then work backwards from there. And I’ve got a spreadsheet you can download that will let you play with the numbers so that you can see what changes will have the most impact in your business. You can get that over at www.peptalksforsidehustlers.com/155 So, how do I find out where my holes are, and how do I fix them? A survey. And in episode 156, I’m going to share with you exactly how I surveyed my email list to find out where the holes are, so if you’re not already subscribed, definitely do that so each new episode downloads automatically every day!

Session 21 General Surgery is gaining in popularity, which shows in its competitiveness for residency. You need to be on the top of your game to match. And similar to Internal Medicine, it is the gateway to a lot of subspecialties. As we're presenting the data here, remember that this is not just for those looking to be general surgeons their whole life but those who are looking into other subspecialties which we will be featuring here on the podcast in the future such as Surgical Oncology, Colorectal Surgery, Surgical Critical Care, Minimally Invasive Surgery, etc. There are certainly a lot of things you can go on and do after your general surgery residency. The 2017 NRMP Main Match Data is now available since the match happens in March of every year. [01:45] Total Number of Programs and Applicants For General Surgery, there are a lot of physicians available with 267 programs around. There are 236 Psychiatry residencies and 204 Pediatric residencies so that gives you an idea that there are more general surgeons than pediatrics. There are 241 OB/GYN residencies so there are a lot of surgical residencies. General Surgery has two categorical residency programs. A categorical program is one where you apply to the program from medical school and that's where you're going to do your five years of General Surgery residency. Then there are prelim surgery positions and there are more prelim surgery positions than there are categorical. Somebody doing a surgical prelim can do it because they're going into a surgical subspecialty straight out of medical school and they're required to do their PGY-1 year separate from their categorical residency.  In this episode, I will only tackle the full five-year categorical surgery programs consisting with 267 programs for categorical surgery. Out of 267 programs, there are 1,281 spots. There are almost 5 spots at each program. Interestingly, there are not a ton of U.S. Seniors applying for these categorical programs. And out of these spots, there were only 1,383 that applied and 2,388 total applicants. For the purposes of this data, U.S. Seniors equals Seniors at an allopathic (MD) medical school. Hence, this does not include graduates of an MD medical school. These are only students who are still in school. Those who took some time off to do some research or didn't match the first time are not included in the U.S. Seniors data. There were 3 unfilled programs which means a lot of of people are matching with 99.6% of the spots filled. I want to briefly mention that if you don't match in a categorical spot, it's typically pretty easy to do a Supplemental Offer and Acceptance Program (SOAP), which used to be called Scramble. There are only 61.7% of those spots were filled. So it's very easy to do a SOAP into a program if you don't match in a surgical program. But assuming your stats are decent and you're a good person, you're probably going to match because it's not overly competitive for U.S. Seniors which is interesting. [06:55] Types of Applicants Table 2 of the 2017 NRMP Match Data breaks down the types of applicants for each specialty. For categorical surgery, there were 1,281 positions and there were 1,276 were filled. So there were 5 empty spots and 3 programs that went unfilled. Out of the 1,276 filled positions, 1,005 were U.S. Seniors while 74 were U.S. Grads (students that either didn't match the first time or didn't apply because they were doing research or something else. Total number of U.S. Seniors (allopathic MD students) was 1,079 out of the 1,276 positions. The rest of it was filled by 64 osteopathic students and 62 U.S. International medical graduates. Something that is highly debated in the premed world is whether to go to a U.S. DO school or an international MD school, specifically Caribbean schools. If General Surgery is something you're interested in, there were 64 students that matched from U.S. osteopathic schools and 62 from international medical schools. Moving along, there were 71 Non-U.S. International medical graduates that matched into General Surgery. For me, this is a peculiar number and is not something I would have thought to see. It just goes to show that there is still a high demand for General Surgery spots so they're taking as many possible and the most qualified and a lot of those happen to be non-U.S. citizen international medical graduates. [09:47] Trends in Positions Offered and U.S Seniors (2013-2017) Table 3 of the 2017 NRMP Match Data illustrates the total number of physicians offered from 2013 to 2017. This is the fourth time I've looked at the Match Data and the numbers always seem to very consistent. Surgery is no different at 4.4 to 4.5 every year, going at a a good, steady pace and hopefully it continues that way. Table 7 shows the number of U.S. Seniors being accepted compared to all applicants over the course of the last five years. As the number of seats in each program has increased all the way up to 1,281 for 2017, the U.S. Seniors are increasing as well. This is a good thing in that more U.S. allopathic students are going into General Surgery to fill this increasing need for spots. It's not necessarily a good thing for DO students or U.S. International medical grads because the demand is rising among U.S. Seniors as there are more spots. Table 8 shows the actual percentage of U.S. Seniors for each of the programs. There were 80.8% of U.S. Seniors in 2013 and it dropped down to 76.5% in 2014, back up to 80% in 2015, back down to 76.4% in 2016, and then up again at 78.5% in 2017. This suggests that maybe the demand is not as high also looking at the data in table 7. Table 9 shows the percentage of applicants that matched into a given field compared to the rest as a whole. 4.6% of all applicants that matched in all fields matched into Surgery (categorical). So it's up there. Internal Medicine is huge at 25.6%, Family Medicine at 11.6%, Emergency Medicine at 7.4%. This gives you an idea of where Surgery lies. Interestingly, Psychiatry (categorical) is at 5.4% which is more than Surgery and Pediatrics at 9.7%. [13:25] Osteopathic Students, Unmatched U.S. Seniors, Independent Applicants, and SOAP Table 11 looks specifically at Osteopathic students who have matched into PGY-1 spots as a whole. This is similar to the last table but this one looks specifically at osteopathic students. As expected, General Surgery has a lot less total number of osteopathic students percentage-wise. Looking at all specialties adding up to 100%, Surgery only made up 2.2% of all osteopathic students that matched into an allopathic General Surgery (categorical) program. Students may think it's harder to go to an MD General Surgery residency as a DO student and if this is what they want to do, then they should probably only apply to MD programs. My different perspective on this is that if osteopathic schools are doing a good job at recruiting students that meet this "osteopathic" philosophy and are looking at recruiting and attracting more students that are interested in Primary Care, then there should obviously be a lot less that are matching into a surgical program. Figure 6 of the 2017 NRMP Match Data shows the percentages of Unmatched U.S. Seniors and Independent Applicants (outside of the U.S. Seniors which, for these purposes, are considered U.S. allopathic students who are still in school). General Surgery had one of the higher unmatched rate at 20.7%, which is 9th on the list. Majority of those are unmatched, independent applicants (non allopathic students, non MD Seniors). The unmatched U.S. Seniors was only 9.6%. This is still high compared to a lot of the other specialties. It seems it's getting more and more competitive and this is a trend that I've heard from speaking to others that General Surgery is becoming more and more competitive as there are more options available for these subspecialties and fellowships afterwards. Table 18 breaks down the SOAP process and looking into Surgery (categorical), there were 3 programs that needed to fill 5 spots and all 3 programs filled those 5 spots through the SOAP process. Looking at the National Matching Service Data for 2016 for the different program types, there were 49 programs for General Surgery for osteopathic students and 155 positions. 149 positions were filled and 6 went unfilled. The data given is not as robust at the NRMP so I'm uncertain if there were a lot more applicants than these 155 spots and a lot went unmatched or if there weren't just that many applicants. [17:43] 2016 Charting the Outcomes - NRMP Based on the 2016 Charting the Outcomes for the NRMP, Chart 3 shows the match rates and there was an 83% match rate for U.S. Allopathic Seniors for General Surgery. Looking at other specialties, Dermatology at 77%, Neurosurgery at 76%, Orthopedics at 75%, Plastic Surgery at 77%, and Vascular Surgery at 71%. So General Surgery is right there with all of the other surgery subspecialties. Chart 4 shows the Median Number of Contiguous Ranks of U.S. Allopathic Seniors. For students that matched and those who didn't, the chart shows you how many programs they ranked on their rank list when they submitted. Those that matched ranked 13 as a median number while those that did not match ranked 5. If you are picky about where you go or if you didn't get an opportunity to apply or to interview at a lot of spots, then you have a lot less chance of matching. Chart 12 shows the percentage of U.S. Allopathic Seniors who are members of AOA (the Honor Society for medical students showing good academic success in medical school). For those that matched only 17% of the U.S. allopathic Seniors were AOA whereas 52% for Plastic Surgery and 53% for Dermatology. So General Surgery is in the lower end for a surgical specialty. Looking at the Summary Statistics (Table GS-1) for General Surgery, those that matched have a decent Step-1 Score at 235 and those that did not match at 218, which shows a big difference in Step scores. This is one of those things where you need to be very realistic with your chances of matching. If you don't match, why? Could it be that because your Step score is not high enough? The mean Step 2 score is 247 for those that matched and 231 for those that did not. [21:20] Burnout, Happiness, and Compensation The Medscape Lifestyle Report 2017 and Medscape Physician Compensation Report 2017 are two separate reports that Medscape releases every year. For the Lifestyle Report, more than 14,000 physicians over 30 specialties have responded in the survey. The numbers are not necessarily the best data-wise because it's a survey so just take this with a grain of salt. Who is the most burned out? General Surgery is lower on the list at 49% which is more than halfway down the list. This is good. But looking at how severe is the burnout, surgery is higher up on the list at 4.3 from a scale of 0-4.5. Which physicians are happiest at work and outside of work? General Surgery is higher up on the list with 35% happiness at work and 69% happiness outside of work. So it's on the higher end of the scale. Moving on to the Medscape Physician Compensation Report 2017, General Surgery is higher up on the list with an average annual salary of $352,000. Above it is Anesthesiology and below it is Ophthalmology. So it's a decent living as a general surgeon. Although if you think about the lifestyle and everything else, it's harder. So you're compensated for that harder lifestyle. Looking at the rate of increase year over year,General Surgery had a 9% increase which is pretty decent. The number of physicians who feel fairly compensated for General Surgery is lower at only 48%. Whether a specialist would choose medicine again, General Surgery is right in the middle at 77%. While only 82% said they would choose the same specialty, which is a little in the lower half of all the specialties there. [24:50] Final Thoughts If you're not sure what you're interested in yet, go through these numbers. It's eye-opening to see what is going on in the world when it comes to matching and physicians that are happy and making money and those that aren't.

Podfest hapned this weekend in tamp Florida. Wow was it fun. I got to hang out with Hall of Fame podcasters like Danny Pena, and meet some people who are trying to get their podcast off the ground. I love, love, love, the podcast community. It's filled with helpful, loving ,caring people. I got to catch up with Dan and Jared from Podcast Movement, Glenn the Geek, some members of the School of Podcasting. I'd write more names, but I'm still in a coma from the Dramamine. Cool Things About Podfest Being a new event (this was year two) they had one track. This meant that all the attendees sat in the same room and the speakers would rotate in and out. We were strongly encouraged to network on breaks and sit in new locations. It was cool. I ran out of business cards, an luckily had a box of "stand by" business cards. One of the coolest things were did was like Speed Networking. You had a time keeper at the table, and each person had 90 seconds to share their name, their podcast, and their target audience. Then each round you would go to a new table and meet more people. By the end of the session, you had pretty much met everyone in the room. This was one of the coolest things I've ever seen. They had a schedule flowed nicely together. This lead to speakers often referring to something mentioned previously in the conference. Great speakers. Simple. All brought value. Relative sponsors: Audio editing services, marketing, interviewing, trademark, conferences, hosting, all were relevant to the audience. I saw, felt, and participated in Content Marketing. I met Katie Krimitsos the night before. I saw her presentation on Facebook Goups, and she showed me how much more I could be doing. I will be a customer.  When Will The School of Podcasting Open? As God as my witness, ready or not, it will open next weekend 3/5 What am I doing? I'm reshot many of the videos. I've added quite a few videos, and I'm restructuring how I will do business. At this point (subject to change) I want to let a certain amount of people in at one point, and the close the doors so we can all kind of be "on the same page." Then I can help, encourage, and guide you through your process, while still providing value to current members through additional videos and live office hour webinars. Creating Compelling Podcasts Adjective: having a powerful and irresistible effect; requiring acute admiration, attention, or respect How Podcasts are like Potatoes You have instant potatoes out of a box. These are quick, easy, and cheap. The end result? Bland. You can make mashed potatoes from scratch. They take longer, it takes more effort, and they are more expensive to create. The result? They are delicious and your recipients want more. It's Not About the Audio Quality If you record with your laptop microphone, that's bad. I think we all can recognize audio that is distracting (if you make me adjust the volume during your podcast, we have a problem). You can purchase an Audio Technica 2100 for around $60 and have great audio. Be sure to get a pop filter (check out this package with a swing arm). Once you have that, MOVE ON. I would listen to an 8-track tape of the Beatles because the content is good. My friend Paul Colligan from the Podcast Report records in all sorts of fun locations. Some are better than others. One time it sounded like Paul was recording fro ma submarine. I listened to every minute. Why? Because Paul makes me think. On the other hand, Metallica put out and album with Lou Reed. Van Halen Put out an album with Gary Cherone. One of more of the following need to happen: Laugh Cry Think Grown Entertain Educate If none of the above is happening then don't press record. Identify Your Audience If you have a "Secret Santa" at your job and you get someone's name that you don't know you have two choices: Gift Card (quick, easy, fast - bland) Go ask someone who knows the person and get them a gift they want Which one gets the best response? This is why you have to know who your audience is, so you can go to where they are and listen to what they are talking about. Start of listening when you find your audience. Ask them what they might want to hear. Be sure to take notes using tools like Evernote or OneNote The ADDIE Approach Anaylize - Go research your audienceDesign - Decide how you'r going to cover your topicDevelop - Buy the podcasting equipment, figure out what segments you will use.Implement - Let a member of your target audience listen to the show.Evaluate - Did they like it? Get feedback Feedback is just that - feedback. It leads to failure if the feedback causes you to quit. Don't quit. Instead Analyze the feedback, design a new approach, develop a new version of your podcast, and have a target listener evaluate it. This goes on and on, forever. How Many Downloads Should My Podcast Get? Here is the equation: Total Number of Downloads X Effective Production = Total Number of Downloads If you have no value (bit focused, horrendous audio quality) then it doesn't matter how much you promote it. If you have great value, but don't tell anyone about it, that won't work either. This is why you need to record a couple of shows so you know how much time it takes to create an episode. THEN you can choose your publishing schedule. Check out the Slides at www.schoolofpodcasting.com/503 Creating Compelling Podcasts from podcastcoach

If you want a streaming station you can get the same playlist features with Abovecast.com, but you will have to list your show in directories manually (Dave is working on a list for those interested).  Libsyn as a New Player that has a lot more tools to customize your player on your site. 4:25  This is what it looks like 2016 will looks to be the year of the player. Appendipity player is in beta. Dave hasn't played with it yet. He has a copy of it.  Austin Wants to Know How to Grow Your Audience 8:25 Identify your audience Create content that will impact them in a positive way Go to where you audience is Make friends with your audience Tell them about your show The equation for the number of downloads is:  Value in your episode multiplied by the amount of time spent promoting your shows = Total Number of Downloads Austin should get a domain name, I prefer to have a self hosted Wordpress install (use the coupon code podcastcoach), and get a microphone like the Audio technica 2100 James Prescot: How to Grow Your Podcast  15:45 See above  John Bukenas Has A Client Who Got a Cease and Desist Order 17:40 How do you avoid this?  Google Search. Lots of Searches.  If you want to go the full route, you hire a lawyer.  Dave had a member of the School of Podcasting who had the Miami Valley Music Cast, but got a notice from the people who had musiccast. So he had to change the name of his show to www.audiogumshoe.com As podcasting gets bigger we might see more legal issues come into the arena. Companies have to defend their trademark, and it gets fuzzy.  Craig Brings Up Making Sure your Website is Accessible to People Who Are Blind 24:25 Make sure your images and menus are setup for screen readers. Blab is not very accessible. Libsyn and Blubrry (media hosts for podcasts) are both accessible (use the coupon code sopfree to get a free month on either site).  31:00 Congrats to Craig who won an award for Best Education Podcast.m Chuffed is the word of the day.

First you need to know what generates your RSS feed. It's in the iTunes settings of PowerPress.

For 2016 more than likely.  Be Sure to Update Your PowerPress Plugin if You Update Your Wordpress 42:10 Mike Dell chimes in to let us know that the latest Wordpress update had some extra special ingredients. If your feed says "no title" then update Wordpress AND PowerPress and then let iTunes refresh your feed. Wordpress is a big target as 25% of the Internet runs on Wordpress. Predictions For Podcasting? 46:33 Dave hopes to see less tools designed by people who are designing tools for podcasters who have zero experience with podcasters. We all want to see the number of people consuming podcast goes up. More money will come into Podcasting. There will probably be another big break out show. We hope that the "Little guy" doesn't get squeezed out." We will probably see people quit podcasting because they aren't making a living with it after a few months.  Revisit Live Streaming Discussion and SquareSpace 57:15 Jason from Mattalkonline.com chimes in with his disappointing numbers from Live365.  Mentioned on this Episode Check out Jim at www.theaverageguy.tv Check out Dave at www.schoolofpodcasting.com   Join the School of Podcasting at www.theschoolofpodcasting.com use the coupon code ask20   Become an awesome support of the Ask the Podcast Coach show at www.askthepodcastcoach.com/awesome
