Mind Games was meant to be a return to form for John Lennon, after an instantly dated protest album that felt didactic and cold. He seemed to be back on track with its opening Top 20 hit title song. But the rest of Mind Games could be a strangely ruminative and often mid-tempo, with a shaggy studio approach. Mind Games: The Ultimate Collection makes it clear who fans should blame: The producer.

Junior Marvin might not have been with Bob Marley at the beginning of his legendary career, but he was there for its height and the reggae icon’s untimely end. But before that, Marvin – born Donald Hanson Marvin Kerr Richards Jr – was a dyed-in-the-wool Beatles and Jimi Hendrix fan, who had renounced an early education in classical piano and formed an obsession with British rock. This led him into a hearty session career before forming his band, Hanson.

(BPT) - Sponsored by Adaptimmune Therapeutics. Megan was 12 years old, an active student-athlete, and an enthusiastic member of her cheerleading squad when she first started experiencing what she described as a “weird zing” of pain in her right shoulder. Over the following years, she saw multiple doctors who attributed the sensation to adolescent growth, frozen shoulder or sports-related injuries. But the pain never went away.By her sophomore year in college, Megan’s debilitating pain was only getting worse — to the point where she could no longer sleep through the night — despite years of X-rays, physical therapy and prescription painkillers."I didn't feel like I was being listened to when I described the pain and symptoms," said Megan. "Doctors assumed a young, healthy woman with pain probably just had a bruise or something. Not cancer."It wasn’t until a physical therapist accompanied Megan to a doctor's appointment and insisted on an MRI that Megan got her answer: the true cause of her pain was a soft tissue tumor the size of a tennis ball in her shoulder. A biopsy confirmed it was synovial sarcoma.What is synovial sarcoma?Synovial sarcoma is a rare soft-tissue cancer that typically presents as a painful lump around the knee, hip, ankle or shoulder, most commonly affecting people under age 40.[1,2] But because the range of symptoms can mimic other conditions, synovial sarcoma is often misdiagnosed.Symptoms may include a painless lump underneath the skin, sudden sharp pains and an area of swelling.[3]Coping with her diagnosisEarly diagnosis of synovial sarcoma is crucial, as it can significantly improve treatment outcomes and survival rates. However, if the disease has metastasized (spread) by the time it is diagnosed, the five-year survival rate for patients is approximately 20%.[2,4]While Megan’s diagnosis was devastating, she felt fortunate that — despite the years-long diagnosis journey — her tumor had not metastasized. She began treatment immediately with Dr. John Charlson at the Medical College of Wisconsin, a specialized sarcoma medical center. It was a grueling regimen of chemotherapy, radiation and surgery, but Megan has now been in remission for five years.

The local animal rescue explains: “Joannie was found as a stray extremely emaciated and less than half her current weight now. She was missing fur on her body, face and ears.
