![]() Perform each move back-to-back, then rest for 30-60 seconds after the last move. Let’s add some resistance with our TRX® Exercise Bands, shall we? That’s definitely technical so here’s the gist: imbalances or weakness in the pelvic area and core can result in increased fatigue, decreased endurance, and injury in runners. Why is this important? Lumbopelvic control and core muscles provide stability for better force generation and motion in the legs (read, less tight hamstrings and longer strides), as well as more controlled and efficient body movements. Next up, we want to fire up the front of your hips, which includes your core. Want to stop the workout here? Our TRX® Strength Bands are great for shoulder workouts, upper body moves, and all-around full body workouts.Ģ) STRENGTH SUPERSET: BREAK OUT THE MINI TRX® EXERCISE BANDS It’s a burner of a move and really teaches you proper glute and core activation at the same time. Keeping the core tight and without letting the low back arch, lift one leg toward the ceiling-make sure you keep the knee bent the whole time. ![]() Get in a tabletop position, hands and knees on floor, Exercise Band looped around your knees. With the Exercise Band still looped around your knees, perform 10 bodyweight squats, then hold halfway down and perform 10 pulses (one inch up and down, no bouncing), and finish up with holding it at the halfway point again, this time pulsing your knees outward 10 times. The key? Keep your hips level and try not to shift your weight too much so your glutes and hips do all the work. Then step forward 20 times, to the right 20 times, then backwards 20 times to complete a square. Wrap the TRX® Exercise Band of your choice around your knees, hinge back into a quarter squat, and slowly step out to the left 20 times. Perform the following moves back-to-back one time through to activate your entire lower body. Mesh bag to carry with you wherever you go.Adjustable sliders offer even more customisation.3 levels of resistance (light, medium, heavy) to best challenge you as you get stronger.Soft fabric won’t bunch on leggings or tug hair when next to skin.Build up glute and hip strength to improve posture, pelvic stability, and low back pain.Firstly and foremost, activating your hips and glutes (read: glute medius, glute minimus, glute maximus, adductors, and more) to help stabilise your pelvis for power. The good news? Adding in strength training will make you a better, stronger runner by focusing on all the muscles that carry over into your running form and technique.ġ) WARMUP ACTIVATION DRILL: BREAK OUT THE TRX® GLUTE BANDĮvery run starts with a solid warmup, and a solid warmup can go beyond the usual run-in-place and stretch-it’s intelligently firing up the muscles you’ll use during running. Training with your TRX® Suspension Trainer™ and other TRX weights plus resistance tools are a great way to add in running-specific strength, because while our bodies are highly resilient, over time, injuries can happen (like the dreaded IT band and achilles). We’re all born to run, right? We definitely are, except many of us spend our lives in office jobs, sitting in cars during heavy traffic, and other factors that all play a role in how our body responds to both running volume and intensity. ![]() ![]() bc extension and cannot be opened with any applications.

With 14,000 followers, they work with respected members of the queer community that post affirming and positive messages around the inherent desire to be cared for. One of FOLX’s strengths is that it relies heavily on Instagram influencers, a tried-and-true method that allows them to build their audiences by capitalizing on the established audience already cultivated by queer influencers. And Instagram is key here, considering their branding strategy. Hidden behind the bright colors and the branding of their website is important information that doesn’t work as algorithmically pleasing content for Instagram. One has to wonder how you flip a cis-tem on its head while directly benefiting from its funding. At first scroll of their website, you’ll see slogans like “we’re flipping the cis-tem on it’s head” and well-shot photos of queer people living their truths. FOLX sells itself as a community forward company, and their branding focusing on messages of “for us, by us” takes great pains to put queer people at the center of the conversation. Trans people have needed proper safe and affirming healthcare since time immemorial, so a service aiming to fill that gap should recognize that the trans community is ever-expanding and our needs are too. Taken at face value, this all sounds okay. While currently only offering basic hormone replacement regimens, they claim on their website that there are future plans for PrEP, STI tests, erectile dysfunction medication, and more. Donations can be given through Trans Lifeline, which will then redistribute to FOLX, who will then cover one year of HRT and related costs like labs and clinician check-ins. They simultaneously launched a partnership with nonprofit organization Trans Lifeline, creating what they call the HRT Care Fund, which aims to“radically redistribute financial resources to support transgender, nonbinary, and gender-nonconforming folx.” They make a point of saying the care fund is specifically for allies to underwrite the cost of HRT medication through FOLX. FOLX soft launched in January, offering their service in 12 states: California, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, and Washington. As a comprehensive healthcare experience for trans people, it’s doing something that’s seemingly revolutionary. Statistics estimate that roughly 31 percent of trans people in America lack access to proper healthcare, creating a crisis in immediate need of a solution. ![]() Either way, you’re in control.” At first glance, this concept is infallible: Trans healthcare in America is precarious at best, and barriers to access manifest in a variety of forms, such as the religious freedom to discriminate, lack of physical access to clinics, medical gatekeeping, or the high unemployment rate of trans workers. Its website features a range of faces of all types of people, and offers comforting messages like, “Start with us or switch your care. Or more telling, how FOLX found me.įOLX is a new startup, formed in Boston, that has the tagline “Queer & Trans Health, Delivered On Our Terms.” The company seeks to provide trans healthcare to people who have been long pushed to the sidelines and had their needs ignored, intentionally or otherwise. My journeys to pick up supplies for my hormone replacement therapy regimen are the most consistent out of the house routines I have. Otherwise, I only go to my pharmacist to buy my monthlies: a bottle of estrogen, syringes, needles in both 35 and 22 gauge, and my pills. My phone’s GPS knows I don’t leave these four walls that much, maybe for the occasional coffee at my neighborhood spot here and there. These days it tends to be comfortable jumpsuits and at-home workout equipment. The ads are targeted to get me where my wallet lives. It allows me to slow down and peruse an endless feed of people, cats, and take-out meals-only to, as is par for the course, be interrupted by the occasional ad that’s curated based on my profile and the links I’ve recently clicked. ![]() I wake up, fumble for my glasses, and mindlessly scroll social media feeds while the rest of my body catches up. Photo credit: National Cancer Institute on Unsplash Think of TES IV: Oblivion, a game that had a lot of good elements about its quest design: Simple tasks were embedded in interesting lore, featured unexpected twists and fascinating scenarios. However, good quest design made even fetch and kill quests enjoyable. ![]() Well, at least in most games I played that's actually true. You know the cliché that most RPG quests are simply "fetch this" or "kill that". Alternatively you can earn yourself some experience and shivers (the item you'll use as currency) by doing some freelancing: Try to find pirate treasures hidden at decent places in the sea, destroy ships and sell their load in towns or escort trading ships to their destination for a reward. When you've had enough of exploring the world to find ancient relics and small or less small settlements or simply taking in the scenery, you can return to settlements and (depending on your faction affiliation) do story missions or side quests. It also has arcade combat and some RPG elements, but most of the time you'll be mid-air, exploring a water-covered dystopian world.

The Band played concerts, too, in Doncaster, in and out of doors, not infrequently featuring compositions, mainly marches and dances, and arrangements by Birkinshaw himself. This band won many prizes in competitions between 18, some of them held in Doncaster. However in 1856 a fresh start was made with a Doncaster Plant Works Band, again a brass ensemble, that was conducted by George Birkinshaw (father of a similarly named leading cornet player with the world famous Black Dyke Mills Band and celebrated in William Rimmer's march Viva Birkinshaw!). This band soon faded out its organisation was informal and there was no regular bandmaster or musical director. On 5 June 1854 it accompanied the Plant schoolchildren on an excursion to Askern Spa on the occasion of the laying of the foundation stone of the Plant Schools. It celebrated its anniversary on 28 June 1853 with a supper at which 66 persons were present. At Christmas 1852 a Doncaster Loco Band played hymns around the town this had been formed in June that year and £50 spent on instruments. Doncaster's GNR "Plant" works opened in 1853, it is generally understood, though my researches suggest that parts of it were operational by the last two months of 1852. If I focus my observations in this direction on my home town of Doncaster, this is not to imply that similar activities did not take place on railways other than the Great Northern and later on the LNER, especially at Crewe and Swindon (respectively LNWR (LMS) and GWR. But as a kind of overture it may be worth recalling that railwaymen have themselves made music, in the same way that throughout most of recorded history working men in all industries have done so. ![]() And there are doubtless other examples.ĭozens, indeed hundreds (I mention well over 600) of musical compositions have featured the railway and this is basically what this paper is about. The father of the tenor Peter Pears was a railwayman. Sir Ralph Wedgewood of the LNER was related to Ralph Vaughan Williams. Sir Alexander Butterworth, of the North Eastern Railway, was the father of the composer George Butterworth killed on the Western Front in 1916 aged 31 and still remembered as a minor master of the "English folk song" school. One or two families have had connection with both. It is hardly surprising that railways and music should have been associated for practically all of that 170-odd years. They have now perhaps lost their primacy in that respect but they remain important. Railways, in the modern sense, have been with us for some 170 years and for maybe half that time they were THE major form of long-haul transportation by land. ![]() Music is a social and artistic activity of the first importance. ![]() ![]() Starting with the source material, Kimball made early versions of Jiminy more insect-like. Kimball would later say, “Walt was a salesman!”įeeling reassured about his role at Disney, Kimball set to work on designing the Jiminy Cricket that we have come to know and love. When Kimball went to talk with Walt about his disappointment and possibly wanting to leave, Walt instead took it upon himself to sell him on Jiminy, assuring Kimball that this new character would play a major role in Pinocchio. Kimball was excited to be assigned a new character as he was feeling a little disheartened with his job at Disney both of his major assignments in Snow White, the fully-animated “Soup-Eating” sequence and the in-development “Bed-Building” sequence had been cut from the final version of the film. ![]() Walt went to veteran animator, Ward Kimball, with the assignment of Jiminy Cricket. According to story artist Joe Grant, Walt Disney came to the idea that he wanted the cricket to be a conscience for Pinocchio. At one point he was to be a vessel for the Blue Fairy who brings Pinocchio to life, at another he was the bumbling guide of Pinocchio who would bungle sage advice and suffer from temptation to the point that he also turns into a donkey along with Pinocchio on Pleasure Island. When writing him into the film his character went through several reimaginings during the planning and story stages of Pinocchio. In the fourth chapter of Collodi’s book, the Talking Cricket was a philosopher who attempted to advise Pinocchio, but the puppet got mad and smashed the cricket. Jiminy Cricket, the loveable cricket who plays the role of Pinocchio’s conscience, had a very different storyline in the original story. While the main character, Pinocchio, went through a full transformation from bratty, clunky wooden puppet, to the naïve, loveable, wooden boy in the movie other characters were likewise transformed or imagined for Disney’s version of Pinocchio. However, the transition from page to screen was not easy, each character from the book had to be made to fit Walt’s vision for the film. Walt saw inspiration in Carlo Collodi’s book Pinocchio. In the early 1930s Walt Disney was looking for an encore that would live up to the success of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, while continuing to push the boundaries of animation.

Even if a reader picked up the book without reading the synopsis, the name “Steelheart” invokes a sense of strength and immovability. First, judging by the implication that Steelheart does not bleed, this line sets up the larger than life character of the title Epic. Immediately, the audience is aware of several factors at work in this story world. The very first line begins with a confession by the main character, David, “I’ve seen Steelheart bleed” (Sanderson 1). The first sixteen pages are a tight, fast-paced introduction to the story world, its characters, and the main character’s motivation and goal. While the writing community is divided on the topic of prologues, this specific story makes effective use of its prologue. But David knows something the Reckoners don’t. Everything thinks that assassinating the world’s most powerful and feared Epic is impossible. ![]() ![]() Only the Reckoners fight back, which is why David longs to join their mission. Years ago, when humanity experienced the first wave of unnaturally and extraordinarily powerful humans called Epics, the most cruel of them all, Steelheart, solidified his reign as the city’s most feared ruler. Steelheart by Brandon Sandersonĭavid knows firsthand that superheroes don’t exist in real life. We’ll be discussing hooks and subversion today, but there are many literary techniques at work in Steelheart, and I will probably come back at a later date to talk about writing action scenes. The material not only met, but also exceeded, my expectations. Steelheart is my very first introduction to Sanderson’s work, and I was not disappointed. I’ve been meaning to read a book by Brandon Sanderson for a very long time, ever since I first heard praise for his masterful fiction. ![]() Who was Razzle from Hanoi Rocks?Īnother tragic moment in the band’s history came when Neil, while driving under the influence, got into an accident that killed his friend, Nicholas “Razzle” Dingley, and critically injured two other people. While it took him several more years to finally get sober, Sixx has become outspoken about ways to combat opioid addiction. “For two minutes in 1987 I was pronounced clinically dead from an overdose,” he wrote in a powerful op-ed in the Los Angeles Times last year. He won.”ĭid Nikki Sixx really die temporarily from a heroin overdose? In an interview with Page Six, he said that while Motley Crüe was a “wild young band” who thought they could compete with Osborne, “you can’t with Ozzy. In The Dirt, while the band is at a hotel during the tour, a dress-clad Osbourne (played by Tony Cavalero) kneels down on the ground and snorts a line of ants up his nose with a straw, much to the shock of the band. Motley Crüe supported Osborne on his Bark at the Moon tour in 1984, at the height of Osbourne’s fame and depravity. “More than that, I wish no child ever had to go through it.” Did Ozzy Osbourne really snort a line of ants? “This ordeal is something no parent should have to go through,” Neil told People. She underwent six operations, plus extensive chemotherapy and radiation treatments, but passed away four months after her diagnosis. According to a 1995 story in People, she was diagnosed with Wilms’ tumor, a kidney cancer that affects children. One of the film’s most tragic moments is the death of Neil’s 4-year-old daughter, Skylar. If I’d been straight then I would not be able to see myself play.” What was the cause of death of Vince Neil’s daughter? “But there is one thing that is cool - I ended up bent. “There are some things about this thing that I’ve got that are not so cool,” he told Classic Rock Revisited. But Mars maintains a surprisingly positive outlook about the chronic illness. The chronic pain led to drug abuse and a hip replacement. And now that it’s up in my brain stem it’s hard for me to move my head in any direction.” “It’s literally squeezing my rib cage together, so I’ve lost some height. “I have a rare form of the disease that hasn’t stopped, so it’s all the way up my whole back and into my brain stem,” Mars told MusicRadar in 2008. While the disease frequently stops its painful, debilitating progression, Mars wasn’t so lucky. Mars was reportedly diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis, a form of arthritis that primarily effects the spine and makes it difficult to move, when he was 19. While the band’s wild antics were well-known to fans, one of the biggest bombshells when the band’s book was published was Mars’ admission that he had been coping with a chronic, degenerative, painful disease throughout his years with Mötley Crüe. “But I can’t remember.” When was Mick Mars diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis? When asked by the Guardian reporter to confirm whether the nefarious deed happened, Sixx shrugged. Mötley Crüe’s A&R man, Tom Zutaut, told The Guardianthat he took his girlfriend backstage to meet the band before a gig and “within three minutes” Sixx had disappeared with the girl. You want to get laid and you want to get drunk.” Did Nikki Sixx really sleep with his record label rep’s girlfriend? In an interview with TIME, Neil explained, “That’s the only reason guys get into music - because you get girls and free beer. You’re talking about a band who would regularly attack their own security guard - and he was head of a Hell’s Angels chapter and a black belt in karate.”ĭefinitely. You’re talking about a band who would physically bite you if they liked you. But with Mötley Crüe, full-contact management happened every couple of months. “I’ve had to use it on most of my bands as a last resort. I call it full-contact management,” McGhee wrote in an article for The Guardianon his rules of band management. “Sometimes punching people is the only answer. Did the band’s manager really punch them?Īccording to Doc McGhee, the band’s longtime manager, delivering the occasional knuckle sandwich was part of the job. Back in 2014, he told TIME, “The very first show, Vince and I ended up in the crowd in a fist fight! That kind of set a precedent for who we are and what we do.” The incident became a part of Crüe lore as a story of the band’s tough-as-nails, anything-goes attitude. Did the band’s first show really end in a fist fight?Īccording to Sixx, this is true. |
