"Holiday" 2016 PPM Analysis: Adult Contemporary
"Holiday" 2016 PPM Analysis: Adult Contemporary
Feb 6th 2017, 17:21, by TALKERS
By Mike Kinosian
Managing Editor
LOS ANGELES— This is the industry's most extensive and comprehensive overview of a "Holiday" ratings sweep and, of course, it's for adult contemporary – the format leading the way for the all-Christmas music programming strategy.
While some hot AC, classic hits-oldies, contemporary Christian, country, and urban AC outlets engage in wall-to-wall Christmas music, adult contemporary was the originator and, by an overwhelming majority, it remains the most common proponent.
Not every adult contemporary station listed here, however, plays all-Christmas music during "Holiday" sweeps and, as you'll see, some ACs register a December 2016 – "Holiday" 2016 decline. Whether or not they program all-Christmas music roughly between Thanksgiving and Christmas Day, adult contemporary facilities that rank in the top 20 in a PPM-market (6+, "Holiday" 2016) comprise the following scoreboards.
Another parameter is that Nielsen Audio only releases audience estimates for stations that subscribe to its services. Owing to that reason, ratings information in this "Holiday" 2016 report are limited to stations that pay Nielsen Audio for its data.
In "Holiday" 2016, an adult contemporary station is #1 (6+) in nearly eight of every ten PPM-markets (79%) and one AC outlet has once again reached the 20-share threshold (6+).
Especially noteworthy as well are the format's "Holiday" 2015 – "Holiday" 2016 stats.
To add perspective throughout this analysis, we are including several "Rewind" ratings comparisons from previous "Holiday" sweeps.
Hot AC is the next format to be summarized. Email managing editor Mike Kinosian at

Eds. Note: Please welcome our newest columnist, London-based Nazia, who will be sharing her food column Your Sunny Side Up the third Thursday of every month!
It was just a few short months ago we were dancing at her engagement party, stuffing our faces with these cupcakes, and later indulging in a midnight feast of pizza and cookie dough (what wedding diet?). Fast forward a few weeks and we're walking her down the aisle dressed in white to start the next chapter of her life. And now my beautiful (I-can't-believe-how-grown-up-she-is!) little cousin-sister is expecting a baby(!!!), and I could just burst with joy for her. She is going to be an amazing mother. Naturally, I am so excited to take on the role of baby's uber cool and fun aunt, who bakes shit and enjoys life.
She made the most beautiful bride. For privacy reasons I can't share pictures, but just take my word for it. The wedding was small and intimate with just the closest of friends and family. My Granddad flew back to London especially for the wedding, to watch the first of his 21 grandchildren get married (if he keeps that up for the next 20 grandkids then his air miles are going to be insane!). It was the first wedding in our family in 10 years and it was pretty damn special.
So often Asian weddings are not about the happy couple. Instead, it turns into a matchmaking event where the focus is on all the singletons in the room, followed by an excited phone call the next morning from an 'auntie' who noticed that "so-and-so looked beautiful" and wouldn't she make a great match for her neighbour's friend's second cousin? As the eldest granddaughter, everyone automatically assumed I would be first in line to get married. That's just the way it works in Asian circles. There were probably a few surprised faces when people learned it was actually my cousin (who is three years younger than me) who walked down the aisle first.
But, aunties, please put away your sympathetic looks. I am incredibly happy for my amazing cousin and in no way looking to marry any one of your sons, nephews, or grandsons. I don't care if he's a doctor or a lawyer, nor about the size of his wallet. I'm sure he's good looking, but really there's no need to whip out a picture of h– …oh, yes, I see, very good looking indeed, but still … oh, gosh, no! Don't call him over!
Please don't ask me my caste, or what village my ancestors are from, I don't know because I don't care for such things – it's all rubbish, if you ask me. And please don't think me rude if I don't answer your questions or appear to have ignored you. I most likely heard you but either didn't understand a word you said, or I understood but am incapable of forming an intelligent response because of my inability to speak my mother tongue. Yes, shame on me. I will not smile shyly and suffer your inquisition. If I feel you've become too invasive then I will stand up and walk away without feigning an excuse. I know you're only trying to help, but, really, our ideas are incompatible and your process makes me cringe.
I often feel like the Bridget Jones in my group of friends – minus all the booze and cigarettes. The topic of my settling down is a conversation that has been exhausted on too many occassions. And I'm only 23. By Asian standards, apparently I had better start looking now before I end up on the shelf.
While my happiness is of course their number one priority, there is definitely a secondary motive in their hopes that a nice man in my life might make up for the crap I've had to put up with in the past. Because, despite what my mother tells me, not all men are dicks. (Except some of them really, truly are). Plus, my independence is both selfish and comfortable, and I'm just not ready to start sharing a toothbrush. Wait, what do you mean couples don't do that?
No, but seriously. While my cousin has found wifehood and soon-to-be-motherhood so natural (and I know it's not easy, but she makes it look so), I find myself both wanting it and being utterly terrified of it. Which I'm told is completely normal, but can you please tell me something more useful? I'm always hanging out on my blog's facebook page (so you should drop by and say "hi!"), but I'm not very active on my personal one. A quick look at my news feed and I see it crawling with baby photos (pun intended) and engagement announcements. Girls I went to school with are pregnant with their second child and buying a home, while I can't even get my life together. Adding a man to the mess will just make more mess, right?
Still, despite all the confusion I feel surrounding single life, it hasn't stopped me and my friends from having a bit of fun. Every now and then I am sent photos of gentlemen in not-so-flattering poses through our group-chat with a "what about him? ;)". A couple of years ago my friend created a joke profile for me on a matrimonial site – apparently I "like going to collej", my favourite colour is "halthi, because it is like the sun" and "I am a smoker". Under preferences she selected "none" because apparently I have no standards. With a profile like that I'm surprised I didn't get any responses.
I am all too aware how far from ready I am in making any kind of commitment. I've just started a new placement with crazy hours, and yesterday I ate gummy bears for breakfast, chased down with day-old coffee I forgot to clean out of my thermos. I may be 23 but I have a lot of growing up to do. But if and when I do decide to take that step (what do the kids call it nowadays?), taking inspiration from Faiza, I may document my journey. If nothing else, it might make for a few good stories.
These vanilla cupcakes are my most popular recipe. I have lost count how many times I've made them – for friends, family, birthdays, parties, bake sales, or a night in – and they come out light and fluffy and just perfect every time. They are also incredibly easy to make and the recipe is foolproof. For my full recipe, click here.

Ask a reseller about the art of selling the MFP (the all-in-one copier, printer and scanner) and he'll tell you it's a tough nut to crack. But recent advancements, and downward price shifts, are bringing new meaning - and a new lease on life - to the jack-of-all trade category.
The multi-function printer or device (MFP or MFD) is currently growing in popularity in the small office environment. The colour laser all-in-one (AIO), in particular, which showed up on the market last year, is one to watch in the MFP space, according to industry experts.
Melbourne-based AIM Digital Imaging is cranking up the heat on the MFP market in the lead up to Christmas. The reseller peddles home cinema and digital imaging products as well as printers and scanners.
Its product manager, Russell Martyn, said partners needed to get the message out about the downward pricing, and the latest software advancements.
"It's a tough market because every man and his dog sells these things," Martyn said. "This sounds like bleak news, but there are some areas of opportunity."
The home and SMB space were likely fits, and the rollout of easy photo print software was a top selling point in both markets, he said.
IDC peripheral associate analyst, Katarzyna Czubak, said the small offi ce and SOHO markets were becoming interested in the colour laser AIO category given the sharp price decline, which hit the sub-$1000 level this month.
IDC findings reveal the local laser MFD market captured nice gains in Q2, growing by 20.7 per cent sequentially and increasing by 14.7 per cent from the same period in 2005.
Czubak said the printer and copier based markets were converging, and competing for the same opportunities but offering different solutions.
"End-users are aware of these differences and the benefits they bring," Czubak said. "From a vendor's viewpoint competition is much tougher. This is causing a reduction in average selling prices and requiring additional effort from vendors in terms of adding value and augmented product."
She said the printer-based MFDs continued to gain share in the overall market and by Q2 2006 accounted for 51.8 per cent of all MFD units shipped, with copier-based MFDs holding 40.3 per cent share and fax-based MFDs 7.9 per cent.
COPY THISIT dealers can capture good business with printer-based MFDs, as opposed to the copier based MFD world, since the latter are a trickier sale that includes contract service and maintenance.
HP market development manager, business colour printers, imaging and printing group, Irma van Leeuwen, said slashed prices along with new and improved features were changing the colour laser MFP landscape.
"We've cracked the sub-$1000 price barrier with the rollout of the colour in-line MFP model, the CM1015," van Leeuwen said. "It's a growing category and we expect to capture significant growth in the SMB arena." HP launched the first colour laser AIO in May 2005 with a sub-$2000 price tag.
"We have quickly gone from being a category that didn't exist to over 500 units a month, and this was due to pent up demand," she said. Colour laser AIOs have come to a price point that's attractive for SMBs to switch. Up until now it was too expensive.
For resellers, the big talking point is engine advancements. "The latest models are quieter, faster in colour, have a more reliable engine and there are less moving parts," van Leeuwen said.
The technology requires only four consumables, making it easy to use and maintain. The toner included in-box has enhanced melting and fusing features, which allows for better toner release and flow onto the page for more consistent colour, she said.
"There are fewer replaceable parts. The only one is the toner, which is the core consumable," van Leeuwen said.
"This is important for resellers. In the past, they had to look for fuser kits, waste toner collector and image drums - there were about six to seven parts on top of the toner that needed to be replaced. The simplified design will mean less cranky customers and resellers."

The Illusions of Sir Oswald Mosley
Sir Oswald Mosley has resigned from the Labour Ministry and made a great noise with his proposals to deal with unemployment. Though they are largely taken from the official Labour programme (Labour and the Nation) the Mosley plans are criticised and opposed by "official" Labour. An examination of his schemes shows that they are borrowed very largely from the Liberal Party programme, and hence Lloyd George sings their praise.
Raising the school age, pensioning some workers over 60, and making roads, bridges, etc. – these comprise the cream of Mosley's programme.
Do they deal with the cause of unemployment? Will they absorb the unemployed? Will they stop industry adding to the army of out-of works? The answer is No! Like Lloyd George's platform call, "We can conquer unemployment," the Mosley schemes play with effects and merely carry on the ordinary repair work the capitalists need to make their industry more effective.
Take cheap wage slaves over 60 out of the factory. Does that mean younger and more expensive workers will be employed instead?
Past experience shows that women and machinery will be used to keep down costs whenever production expenses are raised by legislation or Union activity. Young boys and girls taken out of the factory will provide another inducement to rationalisation by means of machinery, etc., and so, instead of older workers being employed, cheaper methods of production will prevent the increased employment of older workers.
Mosley and Lloyd George schemes—like the Labour Party policy, official or otherwise—simply mean that the ordinary and normal work of making repairs to capitalism is boomed as special relief work. Where it is not that, it is like making new roads—an attempt to increase the efficiency of capitalist production and distribution of goods.
Thirty shillings per week as a retirement pension may sound inspiring to Mr. Mosley, the millionaire, but it simply means the most pressing poverty for a married couple after a lifetime of toil.
Lloyd George and the Liberal manufacturers are uniting with the Labour Party on a common capitalist programme, not to solve unemployment—but to capture votes and pretend they are helping the workers. Both Liberal, Labour and Tory pin their hopes on rationalisation, which increases unemployment faster than relief work provides work.
None of these parties of capitalism face the fact that modern industry constantly and continuously produces an unemployed army of workers. The only way to cure unemployment is to stop the cause—the class ownership of the means of production.

What to say about the New Year? I don't know really. It is a strange time of year – full of short-lived expectations after a week of reminiscing.
I myself have not reminisced about the year past as the New Year approaches. Regular readers will know that I have not felt particularly festive and, for New Year itself, I was mostly wrapped up in bed. I'm not sure I saw the clock hands turn to midnight. If I did, I was probably too busy coughing to notice.
I have my usual post-Christmas virus. They usually come after a busy period of festivities – far too much port and not enough vegetables. I can't say that of the Christmas just gone – there was little port and plenty of vegetables. There was fresh air in abundance and I didn't become cheese from eating so much of the stuff. Yet here I am, tissues stuffed up my nose, to welcome in 2019. Great!
Here's to a healthy start to 2019!
New Year (same old pressures)
At this time of year it is so easy to feel the pressure to detox. The pressure to start fad diets, take out expensive gym membership that you'll use for two weeks. To spend a fortune of vitamin supplements and purifying teas. To pad your soups with fillers and to banish sugar to the food recycling bin. But really, being healthy is so much more than these things and, in reality, much of the so-called wellness movement can be damaging both physically & mentally.
I'm not saying don't try to lose weight if that is what you really want to do, but I will encourage you to ask why you really want to lose weight and how it will really make your life better. I'm also asking you to consider; what does wellness and being healthy really mean to you?
Wellness for me
For me, wellness is about taking time for myself, to stretch in my body and mind. To create space. It is to eat intuitively and without restriction. To exercise when my body wants and needs it. It is about pushing myself physically but in a place that is safe. To get plenty of fresh air. Allowing myself to go out drinking and dancing but also to stay at home with a herbal tea and a good book. To live my life, without fear of gaining of a few pounds.
And so, this new year, I'm making a few promises to myself to ensure wellness and wellbeing, both physically and mentally.
I promise to …
Only do exercise that I love and get more fresh air in the process
I will not feel the pressure to join a legs, bums or tums class just because a fitness trainer tells me to. Nor will I go for a run when the only result will be painful knees yet again. Instead, I will do the exercise that I love when I love.
I will take the dog for long walks on the beach or across Dartmoor. I'll practice yoga and pilates – hopefully outside in the park or on Dartmoor, even if it means people seeing my bad form.
I will swim more and maybe even try some open water swimming – just as soon as I've found a wet suit to fit.
Take stock more, rather than diving straight in
I have made some rash decisions this year. Dived straight into things without really taking the time to consider what I want from life. I'm still not sure what that is, but I've learnt some valuable life lessons and in 2019 I promise to think a little more before acting.
This includes not overreaching.
I promise not to stretch my time to thinly by promising to do things I haven't the time to do. Instead, I wish to spend my free time out of work doing the things I love. My yoga, my walking. To be more creative whether that be through art or photography or writing. They are each important to me, but slip through the net when things get tight.
Experiment more
Try new things. Visit new places. Cook new meals. Eat more intuitively – what does my body need and crave opposed to what is quick and easy. More variety is the spice of life, right? So I promise to experiment more and add something new and exciting regularly. I will say no to the things that bore me and yes to the things that intrigue and excitement me. I need to push aside the fears of not knowing and embrace that which I think is good for my mind and body.
These are not big changes to make but they are a step towards wellbeing and mindfulness. Now all that is left is to see where they take me!

We survived the 6 days without daddy! One of the perks of him being gone is he brings gifts! Andrew got this adorable robot hat. Now he can chant "I.AM.A.ROBOT." and actually look like one. Nathan got a different more "grown up" hat and I got chocolate! Weee!
The week without daddy wasn't tough at all. MY dad helped out a lot. My boys lovelovelove grandpa and I lovelovelove not having to walk in the rain to pick up the big kid from school. It was pretty great having him around.

THE EUROPEAN Court of Human Rights has ordered the British government to pay €7,500 in costs and expenses to the UK human rights organisation Liberty for violating its right to privacy by intercepting its telecommunications.
Liberty took the case along with the Irish Council for Civil Liberties (ICCL) and British-Irish Rights Watch over the interception of telephone, fax, e-mail and data between these organisations over a seven-year period, from 1991 to 1997.
The UK government, while refusing to disclose specifics, acknowledged these communications were likely to have been intercepted and stored en masse by an electronic test facility operated by the British ministry of defence.
It defended the interception on the grounds that, while the surveillance did violate the applicants' right to privacy, this was necessary in the interests of national security, for the prevention of serious crime and to safeguard the economic wellbeing of the United Kingdom. It argued that there was a system of safeguards in place to ensure that people's communications were not unnecessarily intercepted, and that appropriate procedures were followed.
Liberty argued that the "safeguards" that surrounded the interception were not accessible and not known to the public, so that people could not foresee the extent to which their privacy was being violated. This did not accord with the European Convention on Human Rights and the case law of the European Court of Human Rights, they said. The court found that the rules governing data interception in the United Kingdom did not "as required by the court's case law, set out in a form accessible to the public any indication of the procedure to be followed for selecting for examination, sharing, storing and destroying intercepted material".
While noting the arguments made by the UK government that revealing information on how the safeguards worked would inhibit the effectiveness of the surveillance regime, the court pointed out that the German government was able to spell out in legislation the regulations surrounding its interception of citizens' telecommunications.
Finding that there had been a violation of the applicants' right to privacy, as guaranteed by Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights, the court stated that the interference with the applicants' rights was not "in accordance with the law".
Welcoming the judgment, ICCL director Mark Kelly said: "The Strasbourg Court has vindicated the ICCL's belief that data 'fishing expeditions' by the intelligence services will fall foul of Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights. The judges have found that the United Kingdom's relatively sophisticated rules on data interception have failed to prevent unlawful interference with privacy rights.
"This has clear implications for Ireland's lax data interception regime, which will require a thorough overhaul in order to ensure that it meets the standards required by the European Court of Human Rights."
TJ McIntyre, chairman of Digital Rights Ireland and lecturer in law in University College Dublin, said that this judgment would be significant for the legal challenge to data retention currently being brought by Digital Rights Ireland in the High Court.
"This is a landmark case which casts further doubt on the legality of Ireland's 'data retention' system, which tracks the telephone calls and internet use of all citizens without discrimination," he said. "It is a clear statement from the court that indiscriminate surveillance will generally be incompatible with the right to privacy under the European Convention on Human Rights."

So Dan Deacon is playing at the Brilliant Corners of Popular Amusement festival in Eckhart Park in Chicago (Chicago Ave and Noble St) on Sunday Sept 17, with Shellac, A Lull and Fool's Gold. To be honest, I've never heard of these other bands but I'm willing to give them a shot. I always enjoy checking out new music.
Deacon has been working on a new album and live show since his last "Spiderman of the Rings" album. Apparently the instrumentation on "Bromst" is a mixture of acoustic instruments, mechanical instruments, samples and electronics, rather than mainly electronic as his last album was.
The last two times I saw Dan Deacon, were a spiritual experience for me. His ability to pull in and interact with the crowd is amazing. If you experience his show and it doesn't move you, then your soul is dead. Yeah, I said it.
You can find more information on the festival here -

Kensington is synonymous with London's great museums. The famous T-Rex at The Natural History Museum (NHM) pulls crowds during the day, but our eyes light up after dark. Both the NHM and Science Museums host a series of adult only 'late' events throughout the summer including live comedy and interactive exhibits fuelled by themed cocktails and canapés.
As a result of these bountiful crowd-pleasers, the restaurants along the Cromwell Road tend to be fairly chaotic. We recommend strolling a little further towards Gloucester Road and Kensington High street where you'll be spoilt for choice among fine French bistros like L'Etranger and Mersault, modern British gastropubs like Launceston Place, the Ivy Kensington Brasserie or Coco Momo and chic rooftop cocktail terraces. Peruse the vintage clothes racks and street book vendors of Portobello Road, London's favourite independent cinema the Electric and the exclusive boutiques and galleries of Westbourne Grove.
Gloucester Road tube station just across the road so you can be on the Piccadilly Line in minutes. And with Victoria train station only 3 miles away, the Gatwick Express will have you at the airport in 30 minutes.

Even before the dust had settled from the Las Vegas massacre, liberals were screeching about gun control. "We need to have a national conversation," they cried. "We need more laws to protect our citizens! Shame on Republicans! Shame on Trump! Shame on the NRA!"
Why the sudden emphasis on gun control? Why do Democrats and other liberals always rush to the cameras and microphones to attack honest, law-abiding Americans who happen to own guns? More importantly, why do the left-wing masses go along with it?
I'll give you those answers and more in this latest episode.

I liked it! The story was well written and the action fast-paced. I appreciated how the wreckers' past was so seamlessly woven into the plot/dialogue so that no part of the book seemed to bog down with a "history lesson." I'd definitely pick up book 2 to see what other adventures our narrator encounters and how he grows from them. :)

Wind Shield
4th-level abjuration
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Components: V, S
Duration: 1 minute
You surround yourself with the forces of chaos. Wild lights and strange sounds surround you, making stealth impossible. While wild shield is active, you can spend a reaction to absorb a spell that targets you or whose area of effect you are within. An absorbed spell has no effect, but absorbing a spell causes a chaos magic surge as if you had cast a spell, with you as the caster for all magic surge effects.
Wild shield ends when the duration expires or when it absorbs 4 levels of spells. If you try to absorb a spell whose level exceeds the spell levels remaining, make an ability check using your spellcasting ability. The DC equals 10 + the spell's level – the levels wild shield can still absorb. If the check succeeds, the spell is absorbed; if the check fails, the spell takes its full effect. The chaos magic surge happens regardless of whether the spell is absorbed.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, you can absorb 1 additional spell level for each slot level above 4th.

Keywords: chia gel, self-assembly, fiber network, 3D nanoscale fibers
Summary:Chia Gels have been associated with numerous health benefits over centuries, like curbing diabetes and obesity by retarding digestion rate and quenching craving for more food. However, the exact mode of gelation has always been quite ambiguous; the usual explanation for this process has often been conveyed as the mucilage's swelling in or coagulation of water. Gel making is our passion and expertise. Our working hypothesis is that chia seed mucilage forms extended fibrous structures in water to ultimately form a 3D network at nanoscale. We are interested to probe the mechanism of gelation in many ways including microscopic techniques. Our preliminary studies entailed gelation tests, which revealed the polar nature of the mucilage. Subsequently, we systematically did microscopic studies using optical microscope, scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The optical micrographs revealed bundles of fibers at microscale level while the SEM and TEM micrographs revealed a 3D network of nanoscale fibers with diameters such as 30 and 50 nm, confirming our hypothesis. This breakthrough would surely revolutionize the way we envision the gelation process of Chia and other gel forming seeds and materials.

Inside Our SoulScholarship Program
August 26, 2015
One of the brightest spots in #summerofSOUL: the official kickoff of our SoulScholarship program, from which 30 NYC adolescents graduated this month. Now the team behind the scenes — SoulCycle's JULIE KOSTER and ASHLEY MASHIHI — shares what the program was like, where it will go next and how these extraordinary teens inspired us...
Tell us about this summer's SoulScholarship program.
SoulScholarship worked with 30 underserved adolescents this summer from the Children's Aid Society, which is one of the largest social service agencies in NYC. We brought kids to both the Brooklyn Heights and the West 77th Street studios to ride with instructors Madison Lari and Anandah Carter.
How often did they ride?
The Scholars rode twice a week for six weeks in regular classes. Additionally, they participated in an orientation/Soul 101 class to learn how to set themselves up on their bike as well as to learn the different bike positions.
Amazing. What else did they do?
The Scholars had classes in nutrition and healthy decision-making around eating. They also had a 'Job Readiness' workshop run by Soul HQ's Amy Peck and Alex Ciola to teach the Scholars how to write a good resume, tips for their job search as well as practicing interview skills.
How did it culminate?
The SoulScholarship summer program ended with an incredible graduation party at SoulCycle West Village, where Madison and Anandah led a class together with all of the scholars. We presented the students with graduation certificates and SoulScholar sweatshirts.
And what comes next?
The Scholars now have the opportunity to enter Phase II of the SoulScholarship program, where each Scholar will be matched with a SoulCycle employee, who will be their 'Riding Buddy.' At the end of our year-long commitment to the Scholars, they will be able to ride at SoulCycle on a regular basis.
What was the most surprising thing about the program?
We had a few students that were very difficult to engage over the first several weeks of the program. Instead of dropping out of the program, they ended up becoming the most engaged, having the best attendance and connecting to SoulScholarship in ways unexpected. With a lot of attention from the instructors and the Soul staff, they came out of their shell and developed so much confidence and self-esteem from the program.
What kind of impact did the program have?
The impact of the program on the Scholars happened almost immediately. They had no idea what to expect from the program and became connected after their first ride. They talked about never having exercised to the level they did in a class and that they were able to accomplish things they never thought were possible for themselves. Among the Scholars riding the Brooklyn Heights studio, 77 percent are more excited about working out since the program began. For the West 77th Street group, 89 percent are more excited about working out since the program began.
What was their relationship with the instructors like?
They instantly connected to the instructors, and enjoyed giving Madison and Anandah song requests that they loved hearing during class. They immediately connected to the SoulCycle community and staff, who were always eager to welcome them and make they feel comfortable. They took control of their experience quickly and would walk into the studio with confidence and set themselves up on the bike and eagerly await the ride. Many of them came into class tired and left energized and ready to focus on what lay ahead for them. The Scholars appreciated the nutrition class and what they learned about how to fuel their body both before and after class and there was a significant decrease in juice and soda after the nutrition class.
That must have been incredible to watch.
None of the kids were ready to say goodbye at the conclusion of Phase I of the program and were eager to learn about ways they can stay connected to SoulCycle and to the individuals that ran the SoulScholarship program.
Any feedback from the Scholars?
Yes, where are a few quotes:
* "Today I could have sworn I would just get off the bike and quit, but I didn't and that surprised me… I am an athlete." – Ruby
* "What we do when the lights go off and what we take in from our fellow cyclers is truly what defines my sense of confidence for today." — Micah
* "SoulCycle has been my escape where it makes me believe and feel safe; everything will be okay." – Maria
* "SoulCycle has made me change my eating. I try to drink more water and cook my own food." – Taylor
* "I inspire to make fitness a part of my life to keep myself healthy." – Maryrose
* "I am far stronger than I believed I was, and now I feel like I can accomplish anything." – Diamond
What did the SoulScholars teach you?
The SoulScholars connected to SoulCycle in the same way all of our riders do. They felt welcomed and connected to the community and left every class feeling like they could accomplish anything they set their mind to. They pushed themselves to limits they never thought were possible. Most of the Scholars reported through their journaling that they learned through SoulCycle that things get better when you commit and remain consistent.
What's next for the SoulScholarship program?
SoulScholarship will begin Phase II with our graduates; Full-time SoulCycle employees will be 'Riding Buddies' to our SoulScholars. They will ride two times a month together and have a juice after class where they can work on a goal they set together. Goals for the Riding Buddy and SoulScholarship mentoring piece include goals for the relationship, workplace etiquette, learning about the mentor's job at SoulCycle and conflict management.
Will you be working with more adolescents?
Yes! We will be partnering with the Carrera program at the Children's Aid Society in the fall. We will be working with 30 new adolescents from schools in the Bronx and Brooklyn and they will be riding with us two times a week and will be taking nutrition and job readiness classes. We are launching in Chicago this fall.

From lifesaving Hepatitis C medicines that only a fraction of people in need can afford, to overnight price hikes on decades-old medicines, to growing resistance to existing antibiotic treatments, the rising price of medicines and lack of patient-focused research and development is a crisis that can no longer be ignored.
In our field programs every day, Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) not only grapples with the high price of medicines and vaccines, but also with a lack of research and development for neglected patients.
But it doesn't have to be this way. In a special October 26 webcast, a panel of international and US experts took a deeper look at the causes and consequences of high-priced medicines globally, and opportunities to improve a system that is failing patients who urgently need access to effective and affordable innovation.
Panelists: Dr. Manica Balasegaram, Executive Director, MSF Access Campaign Judit Rius Sanjuan, US Manager and Legal Policy Advisor, MSF Access Campaign Tracy Swan, Hepatitis/HIV Project Director, Treatment Action Group Moderated by Sandra Murillo, Media Relations Manager, Doctors Without Borders
