Sports broadcasters face a decline in interest of their services, with younger viewers drifting away from their products. As broadcasters and sports events battle to maintain their relevance, a new study suggests they will have to reckon with the hyper-inflation which is pricing many fans out of their respective games.
Organisations continue to struggle to find practical applications for artificial intelligence, even as the hype around the technology continues at pace.

Midwifery is a deeply rewarding profession, but it can also be physically, emotionally, and mentally demanding, leading to burnout if not managed effectively. Burnout can affect job satisfaction, patient care, and overall well-being. Here are strategies to prevent and manage burnout among midwives:
Burnout is characterized by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment. Factors contributing to burnout in midwifery include:
By implementing these strategies, midwives can proactively prevent burnout and effectively manage stressors associated with their profession.

Remember, addressing burnout not only benefits individual midwives but also enhances patient care and overall practice success.

The post-mortems from those who did not back the winner in this presidential election seem to be two-fold.
On one hand, we have a group of insightful people asking, “What did we do wrong, and how can we improve?” On the other, we have people whose heads are exploding in vitriol and venom.
The latter’s basic premises are that those who voted for the winner were fooled, are ignorant and poorly educated, and are “f…ing” morons. The amount of profanity seems to be in direct proportion to the lack of an intelligent argument.
The overwhelming number of people who didn’t vote for the Democratic candidate are not misogynistic, racist, or any other epithet. They just did not prefer that candidate.
Perhaps “woke is broke.” Perhaps the price of consumer goods, the lack of any cogent immigration policy, and persistent, independent polls indicating that Americans didn’t like the direction of the country shouldn’t have been ignored.
There’s too much arrogance around, too much self-illusion that one’s opinion is more than an opinion; it is the “moral high ground.” Maybe. Or maybe it’s something we experienced when we were young and won a game fair and square, but the other side complained that we won the game by cheating.
We called them “sore losers.”

Introduction to the show recorded by Connie Dieken
Recently I wrote about theater experiences being undermined by people shouting and “hooting” during the performances. Apparently, this is disturbing the actors and producers, as well. Here’s an excerpt from this morning’s New York Times:
“As anticipation builds for the film’s release on Friday, some fans who have attended early screenings have ignored theater norms to sing right along with their favorite characters, much to the chagrin and annoyance of other “Wicked” enthusiasts. Many have taken to social media to issue a strict edict: Shush.
“As a debate grew on TikTok and Reddit, a possible solution emerged this week: For those who want to join in on the duet “What Is This Feeling?” between Grande and Cynthia Erivo, who plays Elphaba, more than 1,000 theaters across North America will host singalong screenings starting on Christmas Day.”
(I doubt this will stop the practice!)
