  • Red Hot Chili Peppers Are an American Alternative Rock Band Formed in Los Angeles, California in 1983
    1. INTRODUCTION The Red Hot Chili Peppers are an American alternative rock band formed in Los Angeles, California in 1983. For most of its career, the group has consisted of vocalist Anthony Kiedis, guitarist John Frusciante, bassist Michael “Flea” Balzary, and drummer Chad Smith. The band's varied musical style has fused traditional rock and heavy metal with various elements of funk, punk rock, hip hop, and pop. In addition to Kiedis and Flea, the group originally featured guitarist Hillel Slovak and drummer Jack Irons. However, Slovak died of a heroin overdose in 1988, resulting in Irons resigning. Irons was replaced briefly by D. H. Peligro, before the band found a permanent replacement in Chad Smith, while Slovak was replaced by an upcoming guitarist Frusciante. This line-up recorded the band's fourth and fifth album, 1989's Mother's Milk and 1991's Blood Sugar Sex Magik. Blood Sugar Sex Magik was a critical success and sold over twelve million copies. However, Frusciante grew increasingly uncomfortable with the band's success and left the band abruptly in 1992. Kiedis, Flea, and Smith employed Dave Navarro of Jane's Addiction for their subsequent album, 1995's One Hot Minute. It failed, however, to match the critical acclaim of Blood Sugar Sex Magik and sold less than half the copies of its predecessor. Shortly afterwards, Navarro was fired from the band due to creative differences. Frusciante, while absent from the band, developed a severe drug addiction and nearly died. In 1998, he completed rehabilitation and, at Flea's request, rejoined the band.

  • From Marcus Welby, M.D. to the Resident: the Changing Portrayal of Physicians in Tv Medical Dramas
    RMC Original JMM ISSN electrónico: 1885-5210 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.14201/rmc202016287102 FROM MARCUS WELBY, M.D. TO THE RESIDENT: THE CHANGING PORTRAYAL OF PHYSICIANS IN TV MEDICAL DRAMAS Desde Marcus Welby, M.D. hasta The resident: los cambios en las representaciones de los médicos en las series de televisión Irene CAMBRA-BADII1; Elena GUARDIOLA2; Josep-E. BAÑOS2 1Cátedra de Bioética. Universitat de Vic – Universitat Central de Catalunya.2 Facultad de Medicina. Universitat de Vic – Universitat Central de Catalunya (Spain). e-mail: [email protected] Fecha de recepción: 9 July 2019 Fecha de aceptación: 5 September 2019 Fecha del Avance On-Line: Fecha de publicación: 1 June 2020 Summary Over the years, the way medical dramas represent health professionals has changed. When the first medical dramas were broadcasted, the main characters were good, peaceful, intelligent, competent, empathic, and successful physicians. One of the most famous, even outside the US, was Marcus Welby M.D. (1969-1976) of David Victor –which this year marks 50 years since its first emission. This depiction began to change in the mid-1990s. While maintaining the over positive image of medical doctors, TV series started to put more emphasis on their negative characteristics and difficulties in their interpersonal relationships, such asER (TV) by Michael Crichton (United States) and House MD (TV) by David Shore (United States). In these series, physicians were portrayed as arrogant, greedy, and adulterous, and their diagnostic and therapeutic errors were exposed. The last two series are The Good Doctor (TV) by David Shore (United States), with a resident of surgery with autism and Savant syndrome, and The Resident (TV) by Amy Holden Jones, Hayley Schore and Roshan Sethi (United States), where serious institutional problems appear.

Across every segment of the company’s operations, BMI has rededicated $1668 itself to be “the future of performing rights.” We are building upon our core competencies to ensure BMI’s continued relevance in a dynamic market, guided by principles of continuous improvement and innovation. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2012, BMI reported revenues of $898.7 million and royalty distributions to our affiliates totaling $749.8 million.

Excluding the impact of this settlement, BMI revenues would have increased by 4.1%. $529 BMI operates under GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) and was required to absorb in FY 2012 the full amount of a one–time refund to RMLC stations of $70.5 million related to prior years.
