Sarcoma cancers are relatively rare. If you're diagnosed with one, you've probably got lots of questions and concerns. That's where we come in.
What Is Sarcoma Cancer?
A sarcoma is a cancerous tumor that begins in various tissues of the body. Most are soft tissue sarcomas, meaning they occur in fat, muscle, nerves, tendons, blood vessels or deep skin tissues. But sarcomas can begin in bones, too.
Some soft tissue tumors are benign, meaning they aren't cancerous. They can't spread to other parts of the body like sarcoma cancer. Only an expert medical team can tell the difference between benign tumors and cancerous ones.
Sarcoma cancers are rare. According to the American Cancer Society, U.S. doctors diagnose less than 14,000 soft tissue sarcomas each year. Most sarcomas happen in the feet, legs and arms, although they can occur elsewhere in the body too.
Some types of sarcomas we treat at the Geaton and JoAnn DeCesaris Cancer Institute are:
- Chondrosarcoma, found in cartilage.
- Ewing sarcoma, which usually occurs in children and young adults in and around the bones.
- Fibrosarcoma, which starts in fibrous tissue in legs, arms or trunk.
- Kaposi sarcoma, which starts in the cells lining lymph or blood vessels.
- Leiomyosarcoma, which starts in smooth muscle tissue, often in the abdomen.
- Liposarcoma, which are tumors in fat tissue.
- Malignant fibrous histiocytoma, which are usually found in muscles and tendons.
- Osteosarcoma, a type of bone cancer seen most often in children and young adults.
- Rhabdomyosarcoma, which is a soft tissue sarcoma seen in children.

Tulsa is in a race with other mid-size cities to provide top-notch facilities, and downtown property owners are being called upon to swing for the fences in the mayor’s bid to build a downtown ballpark.
As the deadline for a plan neared, city officials offered up an alternate possible location because the site was next to entertainment areas already developed like Greenwood, the Brady and Blue Dome districts; there was a five-lane street and the potential for light rail.
The city first looked at a location in the East Village area for the ballpark, then switched to a tract owned by the Tulsa Development Authority in the Greenwood District in the northeast corner of the Inner Dispersal Loop.
“Once we talked to the architect, it just made a lot more sense because it gave us traffic density,” said Mayor Kathy Taylor.
She agreed TDA owning the property was also a factor.
“But it is the preferred site regardless who owns it,” she said. People patterns will have to change, she admitted. People are leery of coming downtown. There is the fear factor. That will change once activity picks up, she said.
“But, we have proven it is safe. We have bike patrols,” she said. “We want the feeling of there is something going on here. With the ballpark bordered by the Greenwood District, the Blue Dome and Brady; and with the investment that has already been made in those areas, that location makes sense,” Taylor said.
Property owners heard all the advantages for building a downtown baseball stadium for the Tulsa Drillers during a June 27 meeting with city and Tulsa Metro Chamber leaders.
And Drillers’ owner Chuck Lamson, talking as a fellow business owner, told them, “We feel this is important for our continuation.”
The Tulsa City Council is expected to vote on a proposed 6.5-cent per SF assessment Thursday, July 10, to raise $25 million in public funds for the stadium.
The $60 million ballpark is the critical ingredient for igniting a downtown revival, said Metro Chamber Chair Stan Lybarger.
“That concentration of venues creates a critical mass,” said the president and CEO of Bank of Oklahoma. “With the ballpark, (BOk) arena, the convention center — then the entertainment district becomes automatic.”
The proposed ballpark for the Tulsa Drillers would be a proven economic driver, according to Oklahoma State University economist Mark Snead.
Data on ballparks in other municipalities show they improve the property and sales tax base, said city and chamber officials.
If approved, groundbreaking would be this fall. An estimated 1,400 temporary construction jobs would be created during the 18-month construction period, according to data from OSU’s Center for Applied Economic Research.
The study, titled “The Expected Impact of a Downtown Tulsa Stadium,” was launched last fall and released Jan. 6, Snead said.
“They asked us to take a detailed look at it from a broader economic perspective,” Snead said. “They are concerned with the fine details: The construction, placement and other issues. They asked us to look at the bigger picture.”
The first pitch would be in April 2010. More than 200 permanent positions would be created, according to the report.
The economic output during the construction phase would be $114 million in sales and $46 million in payroll. Annual economic output would be $13 million in sales and $4.4 million in payroll.
The study reported that $1.4 million in construction phase sales tax revenue would be generated — $385,000 of which is distributed to Tulsa. Annually, sales tax revenue generated at the stadium would be $485,000 — $160,000 of which would be distributed to Tulsa.
About 125 people heard Taylor, Lamson, Lybarger and principal architect David Bower of Kansas City-based HOK Sports tout the advantages of a ballpark located in the Greenwood district of the Inner Dispersal Loop.
The 6,200-seat stadium, in the northeast corner of the IDL, would act a bookend with the Brady District and the Blue Dome district between the stadium and the nearly complete BOk Center on the west side.
The stadium would be two blocks from the railroad tracks, opening the way for light rail, Taylor said.
In addition to the stadium, downtown would have the iconic arena and a renovated convention center. Those three facilities would allow a critical mass for the growth of an entertainment district, said Lybarger and Lamson.
When combined with the BOk Center and potential hotel development, the stadium will provide a strong economic boost with additional foot traffic in downtown, Lybarger said during the presentation June 27.
Lybarger said the addition would be similar to the Bricktown ballpark in Oklahoma City.
“That was the single most important investment in Oklahoma City,” he said.
“It serves as a catalyst for a broader effort to enhance and redevelop downtown,” Taylor said.
“It would encourage connectivity between the Central Business District, Brady, the Blue Dome district and Tulsa North neighborhoods,” Lybarger said.
The ballpark would trigger additional development, Lybarger said.
Bower agreed, adding that he’d seen retail, hotels, offices and residential development follow such projects.
All said the $60 million project would provide a key attraction to draw greater numbers of Tulsa residents and visitors to the district while enhancing Brady Village, OSU-Tulsa, Blue Dome and Central Park and spurring development of a downtown entertainment district.
Lybarger admitted the proposed assessment is a significant increase.
“But the property owners will benefit materially from the ballpark,” Lybarger said. “It really is an investment in Tulsa’s future.”
He also admitted voters are focused on fixing the streets first.
”What we have here is an opportunity to generate significant momentum for the downtown area,” Lybarger said.
City officials “looked at every other conceivable funding source to fund the ballpark,” he said.
Officials examined TIFs, sales/lodging taxes and other economic development sources.
“We came to the conclusion there were only two practical ways to do it,” he said. They were private donations and extending the business improvement district assessment. Half of the money, $30 million, has been raised from private sources, Taylor said.
Another $25 million will come from the assessment — $5 million of those monies coming from city, county and state property owners. The ballpark itself would contribute an additional $5 million. Some speculate that the $5 million from the ballpark would be the naming rights to the stadium.
Property owners are expected to pass through their costs to tenants, Lybarger said.
Bottom line, Taylor’s administration wants to make the area between the BOk Center and the new ballpark a real destination.
“For me, it is about getting out-of-town people to come and spend their money so we can run the city without having to raise taxes,” she said.
The phenomenon in minor league baseball is moving to central business districts, creating a fan friendly environment with smaller venues, club seating, party platforms and decks. The overall effect is a standing-room-only, party atmosphere, Bower said.
“Professional baseball has been in Tulsa 100 years,” Lamson said. “Drillers Stadium has served us since 1981, but it no longer has the hospitality amenities or team amenities which is a factor to us, because we affiliated with the Colorado Rockies.”
Since 2000, six of the eight teams in the Texas League have built new facilities — Springfield, Mo.; Springdale; Corpus Christi; Frisco and Midland, Texas, and Little Rock.
“Our current location is inadequate,” Lamson said.
At its 15th Street and Yale Avenue location, the Drillers are locked in, he said. The stadium sits on 5.5 acres with the racetrack on the south and west and the street intersection on the north and east.
“Our future growth and opportunity of business resides in keeping current,” Lamson said. ?


I stitched the entire ornament in just under four hours! Mystic by Loretta Spears Designs is 3.25 inches square worked on 18 count blue. I used the silver 1/16 ribbon to do the center design and then using the overdyed filled in the leaf stitch at the center points. More overdyed worked all the Smyrna crosses around the center and then out six stitches to do another round. The silver ribbon was then stitched in to create the diagonal stitches in between the Smyrna rows. Last, overdyed floss is used to stitch all of the back stiches. How fast! In the pile to be finished!


Riot Games and Amazon are teaming up to live stream an experimental music and art festival called wwFest: Valorant. The music festival will air live on January 15, 2021, on Amazon’s Crown Channel. The stream will show live musicians, artists, and dancers with a digital background inspired by Valorant. The list of talented artists for the Valorant music festival include ARMNHMR, Moore Kismet, Ookay, and Whipped Cream. According to the press release from Riot Games, these guests are only the tip of the iceberg, with more to be announced in due time.
What’s in store for the Valorant music festival
To further enhance the Valorant environment and feeling, all of the live performances and art will be filmed from drones from the perspective of popular Valorant Agents: Raze, Reyna, Phoenix, Killjoy, and Jett. In turn, viewers will be able to create their own unique festival experience from the various drone feeds from the individual Agents. Riot has explained that each Agent’s “feed will be tailored to reflect their individual attitude, culture, and style.” Additionally, when an Agent is on the main stage, viewers of that Agent’s drone feed will see a variety of angles and views during the performances. So, by switching between Agents’ views, each viewer can truly have their own unique experience of the entire festival.
After the festival, the Crown Channel will have individual videos with highlights from the festival as well. So if you miss something incredible while playing around with the various Agents’ views, you can always check out the VODs.
This music festival seems to be on par with the concerts Fortnite has recently hosted. Because of COVID-19, plenty of artists have had to get creative with live concerts. Teaming up with video games isn’t a bad way to go about it.
Neither Riot Games nor the Crown Channel have announced the start time for the Valorant music festival. In the meantime, mark your calendars for January 15 and bookmark the Crown Twitch Channel.

My friend and I called to this lovely little restaurant as we had both heard good things about it. Our intention was to have a quick coffee but we were lured by the menu to try a bit of lunch.
There is an all day menu of snacks and sandwiches Italian style with antipasti plates and salads.
The owner also handed us a hand written menu of pastas which are available from lunchtime. I had a small portion of carbonara for €8.50. It was utterly delicious and cooked the Italian way. No cream just eggs, seasoning and cheese. It was more than adequate for lunch and I was pleasantly full. I was also given some slices of baguette. My friend had the pollo panini which she enjoyed. I am looking forward to a return visit and would highly recommend.

Access to skilled workers is already a key factor that sets successful companies apart from failing ones. In an increasingly data-driven future – the European Commission believes there could be as many as 756,000 unfilled jobs in the European ICT sector by 2020 – this difference will become even more acute.
Skills gaps across all industries are poised to grow in the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Rapid advances in artificial intelligence (AI), robotics and other emerging technologies are happening in ever shorter cycles, changing the very nature of the jobs that need to be done – and the skills needed to do them – faster than ever before.
At least 133 million new roles generated as a result of the new division of labour between humans, machines and algorithms may emerge globally by 2022, according to the World Economic Forum. There will also be strong demand for technical skills like programming and app development, along with skills that computers can’t easily master such as creative thinking, problem-solving and negotiating.

'Ex' accused of linked arsons
Predawn fires connected to former wife
Ernest Cambridge, 35, of 7th Avenue, is being held on bonds totaling $750,000 after police say he set fires at occupied homes in the early morning hours of April 3, 2012.
Cambridge's ex-wife later told police that her mother's car, and the lobby of her apartment building in Danbury, also had been set afire.
Police suspect Cambridge used kerosene to set fire to the back deck and wall of a condo on Poplar Street in April 2012. There were no injuries in that fire, as a woman letting her dog out at 3 a.m. noticed her burning deck and called 911.
Another fire, at 975 North Main St., consumed the back porch of a third-floor apartment. The building was heavily damaged, but no one was hurt.
That same night, a woman living on Hunt Hill Road awoke at 4 a.m. to find her front door on fire. Investigators later learned that newspapers had been soaked in some sort of accelerant, then were set on fire and used on the door.
As police investigated, they were contacted by Cambridge's ex-wife, and learned the addresses were all connected. The home on Poplar Street belonged to the woman's father, Cambridge had lived at the North Main Street apartment with his 'ex' in 1998, and the woman's new boyfriend had lived at the home on Hunt Hill Road.
The woman later told police she wasn't surprised to learn their old apartment on North Main had been burned, as she "could see him trying to burn away our memories."
City police also learned that police in Danbury investigated two fires on Triangle Street in early 2012. Those also were connected to Cambridge's 'ex,' as a car that had been torched belonged to her mother and the lobby where her mother lived had been set on fire.
Cambridge was questioned about the fires in April 2012, but denied any involvement. Only two months later, Danbury police arrested him after finding him near the Triangle Street building, dressed in fatigues and carrying knives. He also had pepper spray, duct tape, a grappling hook and a rope ladder.
Court records also show he had a plastic bottle filled with an unidentified liquid and matches. Police were initially called to the building after a woman there noticed some sort of hook on the railing of her second-floor home.
That arrest helped tie Cambridge to the fires, records show. Police say he was carrying two phone storage devices that were later searched, revealing that directions to two of the homes targeted in the arsons had been downloaded from the Internet.
Cambridge's 'ex' later told police she believed her new boyfriend's email had been hacked and Cambridge continued to harass the couple. She also told police he had been mentally abusive toward her and threatened to kill her before she left him.
Court records show the couple filed for divorce in Danbury Superior Court in September. That request was granted during an uncontested hearing in January, records show.
Cambridge was held on bond following his arrest in Danbury, and appeared Friday in Waterbury Superior Court, where he was charged with three counts of first-degree arson and first-degree reckless endangerment. He's due back in court next month.

Malware is brief for “malicious software” hostile applications that are created with the categorical intent to wreck or disable mobile devices, computers or network servers. Malware’s objectives will embrace disrupting computing or communication operations, stealing sensitive information, accessing non-public networks, or hijacking systems to use their resources. The exponential growth in email and net use over the last decade has brought with it a corresponding growth in malware.
Our technology not solely stops hackers and malware, however it also cleans up infected machine higher than ancient antivirus.
Malware is deliberately malevolent, even once disguised as real software system from a on the face of it. Today’s malware primarily targets are sensitive personal, money or business data, generally for financial gain. Alternative objectives embrace fraud, cyber warfare and spying, or service disruption targeting specific firms. The victims will even as simply be governments, enterprises or individual users. For a malware program to accomplish its goals, it should be ready to run while not being detected.
We use layers of technology like anomaly detection (a cool variety of artificial intelligence), behavior matching, and application hardening to crush malware.

Lucas Davidson’s exhibition limbo explores the intermediate space between photography and video. Through acts of separating photographic emulsion from its paper backing, the final works document images of the artist’s body as it circulates, drips and floats in water. Over time, Davidson’s images distort the subject and blur the line between the defined and undefined image. By recognising the ambiguous and intangible nature of the human condition and exploring this through his chosen medium, Davidson’s intention is to remind viewers of their own life and mortality, placing emphasis on ‘change’ as the only constant in our lives.

Polestar Racing unveils its Volvo S60
Volvo Polestar Racing has unveiled its Valvoline-liveried Volvo S60 V8 Supercar. Volvo Car Australia Managing Director Matt Braid was joined by drivers Scott McLaughlin and Robert Dahlgren, team principal Garry Rogers and Polestar owner Christian Dahl to present the race car to the media.
This is an historic day in the history of Volvo Car Australia. – said Matt Braid. As the first luxury car manufacturer to enter V8 Supercars with a factory team, we’re delighted to reveal our Volvo S60 race car to meet the challenge of the world’s toughest touring car series and strengthen the presence of the S60 model line, and Volvo brand, here in Australia.
Utilising the resources of Volvo, Polestar and GRM, the Volvo Polestar Racing S60 V8 Supercar has been designed and built to V8 Supercars’ regulations. These regulations include 18-inch wheels, transaxle gearbox and independent rear suspension.
This is a significant day. – said Christian Dahl – Polestar has been Volvo Car Group’s global performance and motorsport partner since 1996, and has campaigned Volvos in the WTCC, the European Touring Car Championship and, currently, the Scandinavian Touring Car Championship. To that end, we’re looking forward to the challenge of the V8 Supercar Championship.
Volvo Car Australia has a rich heritage of motorsport in Australia, dating back to the 1960s, and posting some notable milestones, including winning the 1986 Australian Touring Car Championship with Robbie Francevic in a Volvo 240T. Last year marked the 15th anniversary of Volvo winning Australia’s most famous race, the Bathurst 1000 in 1998 with Jim Richards and Rickard Rydell in a Volvo S40.

So often we hear about the negative effects of a high-fat diet: The more fatty foods we eat, the more we put ourselves at risk for diseases, such as obesity and heart disease. But do high-fat foods threaten our psyche, too?
A study recently published in the journal Biological Psychiatry hypothesized a high-fat diet produces changes in health and behavior (partly) by altering a person’s gut microbiota. Prior research suggests “alterations in the microbiome may underlie the host’s susceptibility to illness, including neuropsychiatric impairment” — and present researchers decided to put this theory to the test. The transplanted gut microbiota from mice maintaining a high-fat or control diet to non-obese mice maintain a normal diet.
When evaluating recipient mice for changes in behavior and cognition, the mice who received microbiota from the mice maintaining a high-fat diet experienced increased anxiety, impaired memory, and repetitive behaviors. They also showed “many detrimental effects in the body, including increased intestinal permeability and markers of inflammation.” This is all in addition to signs of inflammation in the brain.
In humans, inflammation in the brain has been linked with severe depression.
“This paper suggests that high-fat diets impair brain health, in part, by disrupting the symbiotic relationship between humans and the microorganisms that occupy our gastrointestinal tracks,” Dr. John Krystal, editor of Biological Psychiatry, said in a press release.
In a column for Psychology Today, Dr. Gary L. Wenk, a professor at Ohio State University, said almost everything we consume directly or indirectly effects our brain. The foods we consume in high doses (think coffee and sugar) have immediate effects, while different amino acids and carbohydrates with a high glycemic index, like potatoes and donuts, affect the brain over a period of a few days to weeks. Most studies, however, focus on what happens when we don’t get enough of them, not so much when we overconsume them.
“In truth, no one ever considers these distinctions when eating — we just eat what tastes good,” Wenk said. “Sadly, our brains powerfully reward us when we eat sugar, fat, and salt; thus, there is an oncoming epidemic of obesity-related illnesses. Food has both negative and positive effects, and it all depends upon what you consume, how much you consume, and for how long.”
What’s interesting in the present study is the fact brain function was altered even in the absence of obesity, advancing the existing idea there’s a link between psychiatric conditions and gastrointestinal symptoms. Krystal and his team concluded more research needs to be done, but as is, their findings suggest “the gut microbiome has the eventual potential to serve as a therapeutic target for neuropsychiatric disorders.”
This feels like a good time to remind you not all high-fat foods are bad. Foods, like avocados, walnuts, and wild salmon can help you stay healthy, Dr. Mark Hyman said.

If you or someone you love has been diagnosed with cancer, you might be worried about making ends meet during your treatments if you’re unable to work. If you’ll be out of work for at least 12 months due to your cancer or treatments, you might be eligible for Social Security disability benefits. The Social Security Administration (SSA) offers financial resources for people in need who are unable to earn income due to a serious illness or injury.
While a cancer diagnosis will not usually “automatically” qualify, you may be eligible depending on the type of cancer you have, or the stage at which your cancer was diagnosed.
Qualifying Via the Blue Book
The SSA refers to its own medical guide known as the “Blue Book” when evaluating every person who applies for benefits with cancer. Qualifying with cancer will completely vary depending on your diagnosis—Some will qualify with your doctor’s diagnosis alone, but some will need to be advanced or recurrent.
For example, liver cancer will automatically qualify for disability benefits with only a diagnosis. Someone diagnosed with lung cancer, on the other hand, will need to meet one of the following criteria to qualify:
- The cancer is inoperable
- The cancer has returned despite treatment
- The cancer has spread beyond your lung’s hilar nodes
- You have small-cell/oat-cell lung cancer
Compassionate Allowances and Cancer
The average initial claim is approved in three months or so, but if your claim goes through the appeals process, it can take two years or more to finally be approved for disability benefits. Some conditions are so clearly disabling and warranting of approval, they require expedited approval. The SSA maintains a list of conditions that will be approved quickly, known as Compassionate Allowance conditions. If you have one of the following forms of cancer, your condition could be approved in as little as ten days:
- Acute Leukemia
- Adrenal Cancer
- Adult Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma
- Any Small-Sell Form of Cancer
- Childhood Brain Cancer
- Esophageal Cancer
- Gallbladder Cancer
- Inflammatory Breast Cancer
- Liver Cancer
- Pancreatic Cancer
- Salivary Cancers
- Sinonasal Cancer
- Thyroid Cancer
Additionally, any other form of cancer not listed (breast, prostate, lung, etc.) can qualify for a Compassionate Allowance if one of the following criteria is met:
- Your cancer has returned despite at least three months’ treatment
- Your cancer is inoperable
- Your cancer has spread to other organs or distant regions of the body
There is no additional work you need to do to qualify for a Compassionate Allowance. Simply submit your application as usual, and it’ll be flagged for expedited review automatically.
Starting Your Social Security Administration
If you would like to apply for disability benefits, you can do so online on the SSA’s website. You can also start an application on behalf of a child with cancer online, but you will need to complete the process at your local SSA office. Appointments can be made by calling the SSA toll-free at 1-800-772-1213.
Most applications will be approved in a few months, but as mentioned earlier, those with Compassionate Allowances will be approved in just a couple of short weeks. Disability benefits can be used on your hospital bills, any childcare costs, rent or your mortgage, car payments, or any other daily living needs.

A new interference self-cancellation (ISC) method for Single Carrier-FDMA (SC-FDMA) systems is proposed to mitigate the inter-user interference caused by frequency offset or Doppler effect. By transmitting a compensation symbol at the first symbol location in each resource block, the energy leakage can be significantly suppressed. With little bandwidth and power sacrifice, the proposed method can greatly improve the system robustness against frequency offset. Simulation results show that the signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) can be improved by 7 dB on average for the entire system band, and up to 11.7 dB for an individual user.

How to Repurpose Old Desk and Chair for a Special Girl!
I had been looking for a cute desk & chair that would be a good size for a very sweet little gal. I've known her & her mom for a long time. They recently suffered a great loss & I wanted to add a little sunshine to their day! I came across this one at a local antique store for $20.00.
I painted the desk & chair white, using American Decor chalk paint. She loves pink so I purchased some cheetah print fleece & some wrapping paper to match.
Since her favorite color is pink, I wanted to make it very girly but not too baby looking. I painted the drawers pink on the sides so it's just as cute with the drawers pulled out too.
Next, I took the wrapping paper & cut out a bunch of the flowers, then just tore around the edges to give me a ragged edge.
I then just mod podged it randomly on the desk. Halfway through, I ran out of mod podge & it was too late to run to the store, I googled how to make my own. All you do is mix equal parts of school glue & water, which I had on hand, it works just as good if not better than the store bought mod podge & a heck of a lot cheaper!
I also took the wrapping paper & mod podged it inside the drawers!
I got some pretty pink glass knobs at Hobby Lobby to really get that girlie look on!
And here's the little princess with her new desk and chair! That smile is worth a million dollars to my heart!

As Ireland prepares for its crucial World Cup qualifiers against Georgia and Serbia, Three has released the latest video in the #TheCallUp series focusing on Irish fan and Irish Football jersey collector, Eddie O’Mahony and his incredible collection.
Three have a big weekend with the Republic of Ireland for whom they are the main commercial partner in action on the road to the World Cup and the Waterford Senior Hurlers wearing the logo out onto Croke Park for the All Ireland Hurling Final on Sunday.
In the soccer video O’Mahony reveals his possession of one of the most famous Irish Football jerseys ever; Roy Keane’s 2002 World Cup squad jersey, and what happened when he asked Keane to sign it.
As well as Roy Keane’s 2002 World Cup squad jersey, O’Mahony is the envy of many Irish fans with his collection of some of the most legendary Irish jerseys ever including; Richard Dunne’s No. 5 jersey from Moscow (2011), Ray Houghton’s jersey when he scored against England (1988) and John Aldridge’s jersey when he scored against Mexico (1994) among others.
With a supportive wife by his side, O’Mahony justified passing up on painting his house in order to get Richard Dunne’s No. 5 jersey. With it “covered in blood, written in marker, created live on the pitch”. O’Mahony claims “there’ll never be another jersey like that ever again”.
Justifying his collection, O’Mahony sums it up poignantly claiming, “the Irish jersey means everything to me. I’ll never be a player but it’s the next best thing”.
The FAI, GAA, AIB, AIG, PwC, Dublin City Council and Vodafone are among the more than 220 organisations that play an active part of the Sport for Business community.

The merchants who sold these things
and gained their wealth from her
will stand far off, terrified at her torment.
They will weep and mourn and cry out:
Woe! Woe, O great city,
dressed in fine linen, purple and scarlet,
and glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls!
In one hour such great wealth has been brought to ruin!
~ Revelation 18

The wait is over! Apple has revealed their new toys on Tuesday, the 10th of September. The new iPhone models are the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. The first detail that strikes you when you first see these two babies live is the size. The 6 Plus is larger than the iPhone 6 but both new models are bigger than the existing iPhone models. We still haven’t figured it out if that’s a good or a bad thing. The iPhone 6 is super slim, 6.99 mm deep, which makes it the slimmest handset Apple ever created. The 6Plus is 2mm thicker.
The new iPhone 6 comes with a 4.7 inches screen, while the 6 Plus has a 5.5 inches screen. Compared to the 4 inch screen of the previous iPhone 5S, the new ones are bigger. The new models have rounded sides, compared to the flat ones of the 5S. The screen resolution of the new iPhone is 1,334×750 pixels, Apple calling it Retina HD. The 6Plus will have a full HD resolution of 1,920×1,080 pixels. You remember all the rumors about the sapphire crystal screen. Unfortunately, they were just rumors and the new iPhone 6 comes with a ion-strengthened screen protection. The camera is also improved, with a sensor of 8MP, a new focusing system and a new slow-motion video at 240 frames per second. The iPhone 6 Plus comes with optical stabilization.
Both new iPhones will include a built-in barometer and they will both be available in the UK starting with September 19. The prices have not yet been confirmed but we will keep you updated with any news on this issue.
What do you think about the new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus? Do you think they live up to the hype that has been built around them in the last couple of months? Share your thoughts in the comment section below.

Roger Daltrey planning Keith Moon biopic
A biopic of legendary drummer Keith Moon is being planned by his bandmate in The Who, Roger Daltrey.
There have been previous attempts to make a film about the drummer's life, but Daltrey told the Daily Star that he would be able to provide the inside track on Moon, who died at the age of 32.
"It needs to be written by someone who was there," said Daltrey. "I'd love to have the time to do it justice with the right writer."
He stated that he could come up with a workable script in six weeks if he was able to find a suitable writer.
Daltrey added that he may soon write his own autobiography.
Last month, The Who star told BBC 6 Music about another ambition he has going into the recording studio with Led Zeppelin's electric guitarist Jimmy Page.
Daltrey explained that he would love the chance to record an album of blues music with the electric guitar player.Posted on 30 Mar 2010 07:57 to category : Band / Celebrity News

This is an excellant companion to the piano player who is just learning to use a Fake Book. It's a little slower than knowing how to make a 7th or a 9th in Major or minor cords. But with this you don't have to know how, you can see the cords and you can hear them. Something like this is available at music stores, but at a higher price.

There are so many benefits to meditation. It clears your mind, lowers your cortisol, and gives you this awesome feeling of Zen. The more advanced you are the longer you can hold your focus. When you first start out, you may only be able to hold your focus for 2-3 seconds before thinking about something. Give it some time and before you know it, you will be blissed out all day. Here are some tips and tools to get started on a meditation routine.
Some people prefer absolute silence when meditating, but the background music and calming voice really helps you get in the zone. There are tons of videos on YouTube that can help guide you into a state of eternal bliss. Start with ten minutes and build up in length as you go along. There are also guided meditations that utilize binaural beats and theta waves to get your brain into a deep meditative state.
Make sure you meditate at a time when there are literally no distractions. Ideally you should be home alone, your phone should be turned off, nothing should be on your mind. Just like you carve out a specific window of time to exercise, you should be doing the same thing for meditation.
Although meditation is usually done in a lotus pose, with you legs crossed and palms facing up on your lap, it’s not the most comfortable position. Lying on your back lets you completely relax every single body part, which allows you to go deeper with your meditation.
Master the deep breath
If you do any kind of guided meditation, you will notice deep breathing is always a big part of it. The idea here is to breathe in and fill up your belly with air, not your chest. Your shoulders shouldn’t be moving up and down at all. When you breathe in, try to keep your chest still, or better yet; picture a weight on your chest so it can’t rise up when you take air in. This is called diaphragmatic breathing and is known to calm the nervous system.
Witness your breath
Another reason why deep breathing is often used in meditation is because it forces you into the present moment. When you breathe in, feel it pass through your nostrils and down to your stomach. When you breathe out, feel it come up and pass through your mouth. You can also give your breath a color. White when you breathe in and black when you breathe out. Switching between colors will help you stay present.
Open your eyes
It’s a completely different experience when you meditate with your eyes open. It can also be easier to stay focused. Meditating in this way can actually train you to become more present during the day. It shows you what it’s like to look at the world in a meditative state.

Google’s Chromecast is a super-handy and cost-effective media streamer. It’s a great way to access videos from streamers like Netflix, serve up your favorite music, and even share photos. Since Chromecast is so small, wouldn’t it be great if you could just throw it in your carry-on luggage and set it up at your hotel room? Lots of people have done just that, and when it works, it’s just like using the device at home.
Unfortunately, due to differences in how hotels operate their Wi-Fi and TVs, getting your Chromecast to work in a hotel TV isn’t always that easy, and sadly, sometimes it’s impossible. But before you throw the towel in and settle for your laptop, take a read through this step-by-step guide. We’ll explain how hotelling with your Chromecast works, what to look for, and how to get around some of the more common gotchas. Let’s do this!
What you need:
- A Google Chromecast or Chromecast Ultra, and the included USB cable and USB power adapter
- A smartphone or tablet running Android or iOS
- Your hotel’s Wi-Fi access point name and password
- Optionally: A portable Wi-Fi travel router
Step 1: Find the HDMI port on the hotel TV
Bill Roberson/Digital Trends
This first step is critical. The TV in your hotel room has to have an open HDMI port that you can access (many of which don’t), otherwise it’s game over. Check the sides of the TV, or if you can access it, around the back. The inputs should be clearly labeled as HDMI 1, HDMI 2, etc. While you’re looking, take note to see if there’s already an HDMI cable plugged into the TV. If there is, you might need to unplug it in one of the next steps. Once a free port has been found, plug your Chromecast in.
Step 2: Find some power
Bill Roberson/Digital Trends
Your Chromecast needs a power source, of course. The USB cable that came with it is designed to siphon power from an available USB port on a TV, but since not all TVs have one of these, you should definitely bring along the USB wall adapter as well. If there is no USB port on the TV, take a look around for an open USB port on the desk or a nearby power outlet. Since the TV needs power, an outlet shouldn’t be far, but accessibility may be an issue so hopefully there’s an alternative nearby in such a case.
Step 3: Switch inputs
It’s now time to turn on the TV and see if you can switch the source to the HDMI input you used for the Chromecast. The TV remote might have an input button or source button, but often the hotel will swap out the manufacturer’s remote with one of its own. If not, check the TV itself — most models will have an input selector button next to the power and volume buttons, usually at the TV’s back panel along the edge. If you’re successful, you should see the default Chromecast setup screen. If you have trouble switching inputs (maybe because the TV simply won’t allow it), it’s time to try plan B: If you found a cable already plugged into an HDMI port in step 1, unplug it, and swap in your Chromecast. Of course, this means you’ll lose your hotel TV channels, but you can always swap it back once you’ve binged the last season of The Walking Dead.
Step 4: Get connected
If you’ve gotten this far, this is (hopefully) the last step. Assuming for the moment that your hotel’s Wi-Fi is a standard setup, i.e. you simply look for the corresponding access point in your phone’s Wi-Fi list, and then use the provided password, then use those credentials to connect to the hotel Wi-Fi using your phone or tablet. If you haven’t already, download the free Google Home app from your app store. Launch the app, and follow the instructions for setting up your Chromecast on the same Wi-Fi network. Congrats, you’re ready to start casting!
Step 5: Wi-Fi woes
Alas, a lot of the time it won’t be that easy. Many hotels use a web-based interface for accessing Wi-Fi, and for the moment, Chromecast simply isn’t compatible with such a system. Still, workarounds do exist, and if you’re feeling your inner tech support guru, they’re worth a shot.
Create your own Wi-Fi hotspot
- If you have a Windows 10 laptop, you can share its Wi-Fi connection with both a smartphone and the Chromecast.
- You can do the same thing on a MacOS laptop, but only if you can connect the laptop to an Ethernet connection in the hotel room, and these are becoming increasingly rare.
- On an iOS device that has a mobile 4G data connection, you can create a Wi-Fi hotspot, but not only will this use up your precious mobile data, it’s pretty taxing on your phone’s battery. Moreover, you’ll need a third device with the Google Home app to use as your setup and casting machine.
- Some Android smartphones can be configured to share their Wi-Fi connection without needing mobile data. We’ve never tried it, but it’s worth a shot. Another option is to try an app like Netshare, which accomplishes the same thing on any device running Android 6 or later.
Use a travel router, preferably one with a WISP mode
A travel router offers the most reliable way to create a Wi-Fi access point you can share with devices in your hotel room. There are plenty of these to be found on Amazon and elsewhere and they usually cost less than $75. Some require access to an Ethernet jack, which as we mentioned above, can be hard to find. A model that can run in WISP (Wireless Internet Service Provider) mode (or bridge mode), will let you sign in to your hotel’s Wi-Fi, and then make that connection shareable as a regular Wi-Fi network, with a name and password of your choosing.
One more thing…
If none of these options work for you, or you simply don’t want to be bothered messing around with HDMI ports and Wi-Fi hotspots, you may not need to bring your Chromecast at all. More and more hotels are beginning to install Chromecast-compatible systems like RoomCast. If your hotel has this, all you need is your phone, tablet or laptop, and you’re all set.
Using your Chromecast in a hotel is just one of many cool features. Check out our complete Chromecast tips and tricks explainer for more things you can do with a Chromecast.

Medicare primarily covers healthcare services used to diagnose and treat medical conditions. At times, Medicare also covers preventive services, such as annual wellness visits. However, it does not usually cover other types of visits, like annual physical exams.
Does Medicare pay for senior wellness exam?
Providers also ask patients to complete a health risk assessment (HRA) and may perform a cognitive impairment assessment to look for signs of Alzheimer’s disease or dementia. Medicare patients pay nothing for the annual wellness visit.
Are annual wellness visits covered by Medicare?
If you qualify, Original Medicare covers the Annual Wellness Visit at 100% of the Medicare-approved amount when you receive the service from a participating provider. This means you pay nothing (no deductible or coinsurance).
What is the difference between an annual physical and a wellness exam?
An annual physical exam is more extensive than an AWV. It involves a physical exam by a doctor and includes bloodwork and other tests. The annual wellness visit will just include checking routine measurements such as height, weight, and blood pressure. It’s a good idea to see your primary care doctor annually.
What is included in the annual wellness visit?
During your wellness exam you may receive screening for cholesterol, blood pressure, diabetes, mammogram, pap test, osteoporosis, or STDs. Your doctor may ask you about current stress, physical activity, diet, or drug use such as tobacco and alcohol.
Does Medicare wellness exam include blood work?
Any blood work or lab tests that may be part of a physical exam, are also not included under a Medicare Annual Wellness Visit. The purpose of the annual wellness visit under Medicare is to paint a picture of your current state of health and to create a baseline for future care.
Does Medicare Part B cover yearly physicals?
En español | Medicare does not pay for the type of comprehensive exam that most people think of as a “physical.” But it does cover a one-time “Welcome to Medicare” checkup during your first year after enrolling in Part B and, later on, an annual wellness visit that is intended to keep track of your health.
How much does Medicare reimburse for annual wellness visit?
Use HCPCS code G0439, “Annual wellness visit, includes a personalized prevention plan of service (PPPS), subsequent visit,” reimbursed at an average of $117.71 to bill each subsequent visit.

A – Yes. Traditional Medicare and all managed Medicare plans will accept the G codes for AWVs. A – When appropriate, a routine office visit (9920X and 9921X) may be billed with a Medicare AWV. Modifier -25 should be appended to the evaluation and management (E/M) code.
What costs are not covered by Medicare?
Medicare does not cover private patient hospital costs, ambulance services, and other out of hospital services such as dental, physiotherapy, glasses and contact lenses, hearings aids. Many of these items can be covered on private health insurance.

How much does a Medicare wellness visit cost?
Similar to the Welcome to Medicare Visit, this visit is free of charge as long as your Medicare provider agrees to the Medicare fee schedule. You are eligible for one of these visits after 12 months of Medicare Part B coverage.
What is a women’s wellness check?
A women’s wellness exam includes a full physical exam, including a clinical breast and pelvic exam as well as health screenings, blood tests, vaccinations, and education or counseling so you can make informed health care decisions.

I'm a regular at Cat's Cradle. I hesitate reviewing them because I selfishly worry that someone else might get to that great find before I do. I collect antique/vintage jewelry. I've bought several pieces over the years from Glen and Gary. The ones I've had independently appraised were valued at 3-4 times the price I paid for them. My family has also purchased some wonderful things for me in this shop, including a San Ildefonso pot made by Maria the Potter. I grew up in New Mexico, I was so excited to get this pot that came with a biography signed by Maria!
Glen and Gary are very knowledgeable about the items they sell. They're also total geeks about antiques, so they love what they are able to collect and resell. There's always something new (well, old) when I go in and I probably drop by a couple of times a month. If you love antiques and you're anywhere near Provo, you've got to check this place out.

Trustees Focus on Quality to Improve Health Care
Non-profit boards have array of resources to fulfill quality mission
Michael Jellinek and Thomas Glynn
Many hospitals, like academic medical centers and integrated health systems, are relied upon as significant contributors to their local economy. Non-profit trustees face challenges that include: selecting a CEO, developing strategies in a competitive market with changing reimbursement, resolving conflicts of interests, encouraging equity and inclusion, assuring non-profit hospitals meet tax-exempt status requirements and sustainable financial planning given inflation, unexpected clinical demands (such as the COVID-19 pandemic), as well as capital investments in equipment, facilities and information systems. Boards in some states, because of sensitivity to high costs, are constrained by regulation that limits increases in reimbursement. All of these challenges lay the foundation for meeting the hospital’s purpose or mission of providing high quality health care.
Quality: The Core Mission
For many years, quality health care was based on the premise of an individual patient coming to see a physician for an office visit or an operative procedure. Quality was defined by office-based or hospital measures such as post-procedure infection rates. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted that the aperture of health care is much wider. Hospitals, pharmacies, government, insurers and the public had to work together to provide quality health care. What happened inside and especially outside the hospital was critical to limiting morbidity and mortality. Immunizations, testing, active follow-up, equitable access for historically marginalized communities and telemedicine, as well as hospital intensive care units, were all critical facets of quality care. Time will tell how much telemedicine will be limited by reimbursement and state-by-state medical licensure.
COVID-19 brought to the forefront what we already knew: factors before and after a visit, including the patient’s behavior and their social circumstances, are highly relevant to quality care. Such factors include immunizations, cancer screening, lifestyle choices such as smoking, management of chronic diseases and mental health concerns, especially depression. Many would add housing, nutrition/food security, health disparities and a public health approach to gun accidents and violence as both a community benefit obligation and within the scope of a quality health care mission. To provide oversight, non-profit boards need trustees who have an in-depth understanding of quality and how incentives inherent in reimbursement impact quality. Fee-for-service, the most common reimbursement, provides fees for specific, in-person services, does not vary payment with outcome and provides little or no support for interventions that are not face-to-face. Many fee-for-service plans pay fully for the office visit including a prescription, but does not consider the patient’s behavior, actions, or efficacy of the medication. Alternatively, a value-based reimbursement contract might pay for a year of high blood pressure management which would include the office visit and incentivize any associated actions (e.g., home-based blood pressure measurement) that result in a better outcome.
With trustee encouragement and oversight, the hospital, insurer and pharmacy providers could combine their data capabilities with incentives for better quality and outcomes. These could include:
- Patients picking up prescribed medications.
- Chronic diseases being well-managed.
- Home-based interventions being used to avoid emergency room visits.
- Rates of screening and follow-up for breast or colon cancer, depression and domestic violence.
- Guns being stored safely to prevent what has become the leading cause of death in children.
Further, reimbursement contracts can provide incentives to use less costly sites for secondary care such as community hospitals (e.g., births, initial joint replacements), which might result in high quality outcomes at lower cost.
Quality Agenda: A Trustee’s Opportunity
Trustees have available an array of educational, political and financial resources as well as encouraging collaborations with insurers, pharmacies, local governments and other providers to fulfill the quality health care mission. For example, trustees could:
1. Assess CEO candidates on the extent to which quality is a core value that drives decision-making and the related judgments regarding reimbursement, equity and community needs. Does the CEO have the necessary leadership skills financially, organizationally, culturally and in building collaborations to impact the many aspects of quality?
2. Initiate an ongoing educational process for the board so they can put a quality framework on their decisions. Before endorsing a reimbursement contract, hospital budget, diversity policy, or a community benefit plan, etc., the Board should be prepared to discuss and balance options through both a financial and quality lens.
3. Focus on the patient’s experience, which often provides a window on quality of care. The “net promoter score” (NPS) is a well-studied, evidence-based measure that asks if patients would recommend their hospital to friends and family. High scores indicate loyalty, trust and often predict growth; lower or falling scores indicate areas in need of quality improvement.
4. Review quality data that highlights equity issues such as outcomes, access, language, cultural competency, etc., as well as the clinical needs of the communities being served by the hospital. These needs are likely to include immunizations, maternal health, mental health and chronic disease care. Trustees can then be aware of disparities that disadvantage historically marginalized communities.
5. Define the commitment to diversity. This could mean a more diverse professional staff, providing facilities and care to underinsured, minority communities, or providing adequate salaries and health insurance to low wage, essential workers and not outsourcing to avoid offering benefits. Commitment to diversity could also take the form of support for career education and promotion ladders for non-professional employees. For example, a hospital needing medical assistants could provide high school internships, followed by a training program that helps lift community members out of poverty, provides health insurance for their family, saves the cost of temporary labor and enhances diversity – all resulting in better quality health care.
6. Work to create hospital joint ventures with local small businesses for supplies, food and construction work that strengthens diversity efforts and creates jobs that could reduce the medical consequences of discrimination and poverty.
7. Define community benefits from both a regulatory and optimizing health perspective. Often the tax-exempt status of hospitals requires providing and reporting on uncompensated care. But what, how much, and where should there be investments with the greatest impact on quality?
8. Consider, from a real estate perspective, the commitment to the community. Could the hospital help to revitalize a neighborhood by providing a needed clinical service or administrative offices in an area needing development? Addressing the needs of the surrounding community could mean enhancing local transportation or encouraging a mixed-use site that provides housing for hospital employees and community residents.
Board Duties, Composition and Structure
Non-profit trustees’ fiduciary duties include (1) the prudent use of all assets, (2) advancing the hospital’s mission of high quality health care and (3) assuring that the nonprofit obeys applicable laws and regulations. Trustees in non-profit hospitals are volunteers who represent the public by providing oversight of a social contract between the community, which has given up tax dollars to support medical services and the hospital’s promise of high-quality medical care. Trustees are selected by current board members and given the growing need for changing expertise, term limits are essential.
To help meet current challenges, board membership should include expertise on quality, equity and diversity. Boards that have committee structures could add a committee or re-charter the quality committee, led by a trustee with appropriate expertise, to spearhead the Board’s quality mission. The quality committee should oversee the development of updated quality goals and a dashboard that includes current, new and incentive base metrics as well as measures of equity and the patient experience. Members of the quality committee should also serve on the finance, contracting, community benefit and real estate committees to assure that a quality-oriented perspective is well represented at an early point in the development of a budget, proposal for new facilities, or assessment of a reimbursement contract. The annual quality plan should be understood as the mission that the financial and operating plans support and be given equal status to the financial reporting in the board’s standing agenda.
Ultimately, the long-term sustainability of a hospital very much depends on fulfilling a social contract: the promise of quality health care and the community’s willingness to support the institution financially through reimbursement and philanthropy.


Trixie Mattel has certainly been a busy queen this year! From releasing her second studio album in the spring (purposefully a greater smash than ‘Two Birds’, ‘One Stone’ clearly was created to kill ‘Two Birds’ and propel Miss Mattel into the country music stratosphere!), to winning the third season of Rupaul’s Drag Race All-Stars in early 2018, to releasing her own makeup products in collaboration with LA based home-grown company; Sugarpill, to the return of UNHhhh with partner in crime, Katya Zamolodchikova, this ambitious Barbie girl has undoubtedly built her own dream empire!
One thing, however, has remained constant throughout this season of Trixie’s lavish career: Now With Moving Parts.
(Ok, so little disclaimer before we go on. Very little really qualifies me to write this article: I only saw the show twice. I know twice seems like a lot to an outsider, and sure, twice was enough for the message of the show to emotionally impact and help me keep my sh*t together throughout the entirety of 2018…but if you’re a Trixie Mattel stan, it usually is a normal thing to see her show at least four times. Luckily, I have enlisted the help of some very wonderful individuals to help me get a full picture of the lasting legacy of Now With Moving Parts.).
Trixie superfan Arielle (@_MermaidArielle on twitter) remembers well the intimacy of the shows at the Provincetown debut of Now With Moving Parts in summer 2017. The first time she saw the show, she states, was on Trixie’s birthday, during that first summer run in P-town.
According to Arielle, it was during this initial set of performances that Trixie was fleshing out the bare bones of the show by ‘testing’ out her treasury of jokes on the audiences to see which ones landed, which ones didn’t, and to see how exactly they could be incorporated into the show as permanent fixtures for when the time came for the production to tour.
It was during this time that Arielle accidentally co-wrote a joke that Trixie ended up keeping in the show throughout its international run:
“[In Provincetown} she struggled with her guitar and I said loudly “somebody help her”, not realizing she could hear me a few rows back. She responded and the audience laughed. The following nights she began telling the audience that some girl yelled “someone help her” at her and she received great responses.”
The stage production was still in its infancy when the legend-icon-star packed her bags and set out to compete in the perpetual Hunger Games of drag (All Stars 3), which was airing internationally by the time Miss Mattel began touring her second one-woman show in the United Kingdom and Ireland in early 2018.
The show of course followed her first very successful show, Ages 3 and Up, and while it is difficult to compare the two shows, I do have to say that seeing Now With Moving Parts having also attended Ages 3 and Up was like coming home. Now With Moving Parts, as a sequel to Ages 3 and Up, is millions of times more successful in its quality and execution than Means Girls 2 is to Mean Girls. It truly is like the difference between Season 7 and All Stars 3: A LEGENDARY GLO-UP extravaganza.
I mainly think this is to do with the fact that Ages 3 and Up had been centred around Trixie’s struggles getting into the business and as an artist, and also probably owing to the fact that she basically GREW UP COMPLETELY on that tour. Her drag had improved exponentially by the time I saw Ages 3 and Up in Manchester in Spring 2017, and the video-tapes she used as part of the show clearly showed that.
Meanwhile, Now With Moving Parts featured a new sense confidence, bigger costumes, bigger wigs, bigger hip-pads and boobies (I remember my friend Robin (@remichanga) telling me, following their experience seeing Trixie’s show, how ‘big and sparkly’ she was in real life!) and a much heavier feature of original music of course.
Probably one of the most memorable moments of the entire show for me is the infamous ‘God Warrior’ lipsync medley. I remember my friend and longest-stanning Trixie stan I know Shannon (@babyybatt) telling me about a wonderful moment during a show on New Year’s Eve 2017 she attended with now-girlfriend and fellow fanatic Christina (@C__Orlando) when Trixie came into the audience during the God Warrior number and held both the girls’ hands.
I marvelled myself as before my eyes Trixie ‘blessed’ Slam (@HipsandPaads) during the Belfast performance of Now With Moving Parts. It was a moment from Heaven: literally!
From what I personally experienced, Trixie has a fantastic aptitude for cradling her audience in the womb-like warmth of her musicianship, lulling us into not exactly a false sense of security (because the music she writes comes genuinely from her heart and her own personal life experiences and struggles), but rather setting the mood of a family gathering in which she is the disarming host, ready to offend ever so slightly and to poke fun using her shiny winner’s sceptre and her cleverly crafted arsenal of jokes and anecdotes.
This creates a comforting and uplifting environment rather than one where you might feel unsafe or made fun of. In fact, super-stan Erin (@itserinpeden) shared quite movingly the following personal sentiment regarding what her time following Trixie on her U.K leg of the tour meant to her:
The show was particularly special for me because when I got home from my first show of the tour, I had a phone call from my mum to tell me my gran had died. I was extremely close with my gran. I was planning on selling all my tickets but I knew if I did I would be sitting at home miserable […] there wasn’t a show I went to where I didn’t leave with my face hurting from smiling so much. She made me laugh even though I’d heard the jokes 5 times already and knew all the punch lines. That tour was very important to me as it gave me happiness when I had none elsewhere.’Slam (@HipsandPaads), Tanya (@thanksliving) and I (@loodapoo) literally could have said the whole show along with Trixie the night we saw it in Belfast we had already watched so many clips of it online, and yet seeing her perform her literal baby live was so much better. Trying to compare watching clips online to watching the real thing would be like telling yourself you had tasted Gordon Ramsey’s cooking just by watching him making a fillet steak open sandwich on the telly. Experiencing the real thing, in particular Trixie’s musicianship, is extremely special.
Em (@Emilydurrant_xo) remembers how wonderful her first time seeing Trixie was last year: she was thrilled to be able to hear one of her favourite songs, Moving Parts (for which the show is named) performed live.
The song Moving Parts exemplifies the message of the whole show, and the feeling of togetherness we all felt during our time experiencing this show. Not only that, but it sort of just suddenly hits you how ground-breaking it is to be looking up at a big, pink, fabulously gay lady-man, singing country music written by himself about the same-sex relationships he (Brian) has had, the same-sex breakups he has had.
In some ways, there is a sadness that comes not only from the topics of the music, but the fact that this princess we see in front of us makes a statement of palatability: those outside the fanbase of a more homophobic or discriminatory nature may be able to overcome the fact these are gay love songs only by the fact the vision they see in front of them is so hyper-feminine.
As Trixie herself has said, there is a truth to people having to wear disguises to be accepted: Dolly Parton had to do so to be taken seriously inside a male dominated industry, and now Trixie has to do so, again because of the nature of masculinity in the country music industry being largely, if not totally, heteronormative. I think this is why we have seen the connection this year between Trixie and her fans.
In particular, there has been prominent interaction between Miss Mattel and her young (and mostly lesbian/bisexual/pansexual/queer) female fanbase (by the admission of Trixie herself), made apparent throughout the time Now With Moving Parts has been toured. Amy (@Amyowst) stated that on one of the many occasions she attended the show (the Boston show, to be precise) Trixie repeatedly referenced having a lot of young, queer women as fans, and stated her appreciation for them:
‘[Trixie admitted] that she felt more connected to her lesbian fans because she listened to [queer women] artists (e.g. Melissa Etheridge) while coming to terms with her own sexuality in her youth.
I felt like that show, as a whole, unveiled a previously unseen layer of vulnerability for her and it was just really GOOD to see her trusting herself and allowing it to happen. I’ve only see this side of her continue to grow, and her fan base and legacy grows with it.’
Furthermore, throughout the year this show has run, there have been horrendously trying times for the marginalised communities following the instatement of Donald Trump as president of the USA. For many, therefore, the show has become a welcome relief from not only the individual stresses of life, but also the anxiety caused by the challenges of change we meet in our personal world through the collective world of our minority cultures being further marginalised.
We feel seen, valued, and cradled in the warmth of the uplifting humour and familial embrace of the crowd we gather in to listen to the key messages of the show: we are combined, each of us important in a living jigsaw and support network in a scary political and social climate.
In conclusion, the fact that this tour has brought so much joy, laughter and light into fan’s lives is hard to ignore, and it’s legacy has been the connections which have been made.
To quote Albus Dumbledore, ‘the bonds of friendship we have made this year will be more important than ever…’: this is an undeniable truth. Many of us didn’t know each other before this show, and now we do know each other, we couldn’t really imagine life without each other now.
Each person I interviewed for the purposes of this article mentioned how important Trixie has been to them finding their ‘chosen family’, Now With Moving Parts the vein that has connected all these hearts to beat as one. Thank you, Trixie: we cannot wait to see what Skinny Legend has in store for us!
