Today, broadcasters that have already migrated to IP have found it much easier to cater to variable consumption models and resource requirements while scaling and adapting to modern media requirements. The ease with which production teams can work from multiple areas on campus or even from their homes, a model now referred to as “distributed production,” has positioned IP media as an ideal solution for broadcasters planning to refurbish their infrastructure or embark on a greenfield project. Today, infrastructure must cater to increasingly demanding audiences and meet expectations that didn’t exist years ago. Such dynamic and changing environments require a…

Kennedy Jr. has spoken of an “existential threat” that he said can destroy the nation. “We have the highest chronic disease burden of any country in the world,” Mr. Kennedy said at a hearing in January before the Senate confirmed him as the secretary of Health and Human Services. And on Monday he is starting a tour in the Southwest to promote a program to combat chronic illness, emphasizing nutrition and lifestyle. But since Mr. Kennedy assumed his post, key grants and contracts that directly address these diseases, including obesity, diabetes and dementia, which experts agree are among…

I’m a big believer in the role of vitamin D in optimizing your health. As noted in previous articles, it’s been shown to help promote a diverse range of functions, including mental health, skeletal health, and immune function. However, there’s one topic about vitamin D that deserves more attention — toxicity. Just as a deficiency will lead to various health problems, it’s important to maintain a proper balance because too much vitamin D will also cause problems. This issue, as well as other topics, was explored by Reinhold Vieth, Ph.D., during a presentation at the University of Minnesota, which I…

For a child who is not vaccinated against measles — one of the world’s most infectious viruses — no classroom, school bus or grocery store is safe. Nine out of 10 unvaccinated people exposed to an infected person will catch it, and once measles takes root, the virus can damage the lungs, kidneys and the brain. With falling U.S. vaccination rates and outbreaks that have caused more than 580 cases and at least one death, health experts expect measles to infect hundreds or even thousands more across the nation. Here is how measles takes over the body. Unlike viruses that…
