Central Gospel Music lança releitura do sucesso “Estou Contigo”, pelo projeto CGM Covers

Com o propósito de resgatar seu catálogo de sucessos, a Central Gospel Music apresenta o segundo lançamento do projeto CGM Covers, como parte das comemorações dos 20 anos da gravadora. Após a releitura do hit “Se Eu Não Conseguir Falar”, que ganhou uma nova roupagem na voz de Thayane Asafe, agora a gravadora traz a versão de mais um de seus sucessos.

A canção escolhida dessa vez para integrar o CGM Covers é “Estou Contigo”. Lançada originalmente em 2012 como uma das faixas do álbum “Essência”, que marcou a estreia de Jotta A na Central Gospel Music. Escrita por Claudivan de Barros e Jotta A, a faixa teve mais de 4 milhões de plays no Spotify e mais de 24 milhões de views no YouTube.

Quem dá voz à releitura é o cantor Breno Aguiar, uma das novas apostas da gravadora. Com início da música na igreja, ele é líder dos músicos do Ministério Profético Vidas Restaurando Vidas, em Santa Cruz, na zona oeste do Rio de Janeiro.

– Ter a oportunidade de participar do CGM Covers foi um mix de sentimentos e foi uma experiência incrível. Interpretar essas canções relembrou minha adolescência que foi toda ouvindo essas músicas e também o início da minha caminhada como cantor – compartilha Breno.

Além de “Estou Contigo”, Breno Aguiar também dá voz aos covers de “Vencedor” e “Descansarei”, que também ficaram conhecidas na voz de Jotta A. A produção musical é de Lucas Rodrigues, que já trabalhou com nomes como Gabriela Rocha, Lukas Agustinho e Abdiel Arsênio. Já o clipe foi dirigido por Moisés Silva, mais conhecido como SilvaMoi, no estúdio da Central Gospel Music.

hey gang I’m beginning to think I won’t make it out of being disabled alive or debt free. or with insurance

[lesbiangiratina]

Damn. The disorder really can be obsessive and compulsive.

[bjornkram]

Out of the 2 G7's I've used so far both of them have not worked properly. We are on Dexcom g7 replacement number 2

For the folks keeping score that's 0 for 2 and not looking good

[rlyehcityplanner]

Finally paid through my deductible.

I genuinely don’t know how I would’ve paid it off with my old insurer (50% coverage as opposed to 80% I have now, it would’ve been 1400 out of pocket to pay for life-sustaining insulin I need)

[kj-yikes]

(Cw mild medical stuff in the tags)

We’re having Christmas with my in laws this weekend and everyone’s staying at our house even though they live two miles away and today my pancreas has apparently decided to not do its fucking job so this is bound to be the GREATEST time

Hey, I need money so I don't die from Diabetes

Mod Cat Flopter here. I have one continuous glucose monitor (CGM) left. It will last me two weeks. My others have been giving me fucky readings and peeling off the closer i get to their take off dates, so two weeks is more of a best case scenario.

Each of these costs $100 dollars. I need 3 more to make it until my insurance will cover them again, so i need $300.

Please help.

I'm a really big fan of the way demons were, for some time, depicted as being covered in beastly faces. Especially on their torso. Thinking up a tattoo in that style. Would you know of a collection of examples? Or some particularly interesting sources? Trying to collect them for inspiration.

gastrocephalic demons my beloved! idk of any collections but here are of some of my favs, all from 15th or 16th c. manuscripts 😌

Steve is a kindergarten teacher (not sure if I mentioned this before) in this universe, so he’s constantly covered in paint or glitter and he makes sure to always wear fun colored polo shirts or sweaters. He also owns one singular pair of corduroy pants that have clown dogs printed onto them that his kids absolutely love.

When Steve starts putting the patches over his cgm on his arm (when it’s visible, so usually during the beginning and end of the school year), the kids go wild for the cool colors that Eddie picked out for him.

This turns into his students trying to sneakily put stickers onto his cgm when he isn’t looking. Steve has the newest dexcom so it’s a bit smaller and more circular than the ones he used to purchase, so the stickers mostly end up on his sleeve or the skin around his cgm.

Eddie finds this extremely cute and starts to have Steve send him pictures of his arm at the end of the day to see the accuracy of the five year olds.

Since Steve is a sap he saves all of the stickers he can manage into a separate scrapbook, which he holds very dear to his heart.

[eris-abomination]

Weird rant but I’m EXHAUSTED by the fact that medical supplies are either mind-numbingly clinical or literally made for children.

I’m sick of having to buy adhesive patches for my CGM that are covered in crayon scribble and unicorn patterns because all the rest are depressingly plain and I just want something colorful and FUN.

I’m sick of disabled young adults being completely overlooked by society because the stereotypes only include “decrepit elderly person” and “poor innocent child who doesn’t deserve the horrors of a disability”.

I’m sick of the idea that disabled people are incapable/undeserving of being happy and enjoying life and should just settle for a Dull Gray Existence, and if they ARE happy, then they’re an ✨amazing special inspiration✨ who’s going to constantly be put on a pedestal and infantilized to hell and back.

Thayane Asafe participa de novo projeto da Central Gospel Music com releitura

No ano em que comemora 20 anos de história na cena musical, a gravadora Central Gospel Music lança um projeto especial para celebrar a data. Dona de um vasto catálogo que conta com canções de Eyshila, Jozyanne, Jotta A e Danielle Cristina, a empresa apresenta o CGM Covers, que trará uma série de releituras desses grandes sucessos que será lançada no YouTube e nas plataformas digitais simultaneamente.

– A Central Gospel Music possui um catálogo incrível com muitos louvores de sucesso. Então, sentimos a necessidade de revisitá-los novamente, comemorando esse marco de duas décadas de trajetória por meio de novos talentos da música cristã. As canções já são conhecidas, então queríamos uma produção mais prática e rápida – explica a gerente da gravadora, Dainara Campos.

De acordo com Dainara, as canções foram selecionadas segundo o interesse do público e que tiveram maior repercussão entre os ouvintes. Para interpretar essas releituras, a gravadora selecionou três de seus novos talentos: Thayane Asafe, Duda Cesário e Breno Aguiar.

– Os cantores foram selecionados já visando o repertório, mas eles também deram suas opiniões e preferências, respeitando o estilo e técnica vocal de cada um. Buscamos cantores jovens com a vida no altar, com muito potencial vocal e fortes em suas redes sociais, que são uma vitrine atualmente – detalha Dainara.

O escolhido para tocar a produção musical do CGM Covers foi Lucas Rodrigues, que já trabalhou com nomes como Gabriela Rocha, Lukas Agustinho e Abdiel Arsênio. Já os clipes, gravados no estúdio da Central Gospel Music, a direção ficou com Moisés Silva, mais conhecido como SilvaMoi.

Pontapé Inicial

E a primeira canção escolhida para dar o pontapé inicial ao CGM Covers é “Se Eu Não Conseguir Falar”. Escrita por Gislaine e Mylena, a canção foi gravada ao vivo originalmente em 2014 e fez parte do álbum “Esperança”, da cantora Jozyanne. Dez anos depois, a releitura ganha a interpretação da cantora Thayane Asafe, que é uma das apostas da Central Gospel Music para o ano de 2024.

Envolvida com a música desde a infância, Thayane é membro da Igreja Frente Missionária Transformando Água em Vinho, na Vila da Penha, na zona norte do Rio de Janeiro. Com influências de Midian Lima, Jessica Augusto e Tasha Cobbs, ela define seu estilo musical como pentecostal.

– Minha entrada na Central Gospel Music aconteceu por meio de um convite para participar do projeto CGM Covers e foi uma alegria para o meu coração, pois esse novo ciclo é o cumprimento de uma promessa sobre a minha vida e ministério – compartilha a artista.

Bálsamo para Alma

Além de “Se Eu Não Conseguir Falar”, Thayane Asafe vai interpretar as canções “Simplesmente Te Adorar” e “O Milagre Sou Eu”, conhecidas na voz de Eyshila.

– Essas canções já fizeram parte dos meus momentos de oração em meu secreto em um tempo de luto pela perda dos meus pais. Por um tempo da minha vida, eu achei que ter um projeto com a minha voz seria um sonho distante e ver o projeto pronto me fez relembrar as promessas. Deus fez como disse que faria! Deus não mente! – testemunha Thayane.

Casada, ela afirma que foi uma honra poder interpretar “Se Eu Não Conseguir Falar”, que foi um bálsamo para a sua alma em dias difíceis.

– O público pode esperar por muita entrega, verdade e a presença de Deus que é o principal. Espero que vidas sejam tocadas através das canções. Toda gravação foi marcante, foi um momento lindo, marcado pela presença de Deus ao lado de uma equipe maravilhosa que foi nos conduzindo e saiu tudo perfeito – finaliza Thayane Asafe.

so a device is commercially available that kinda clicks to the sensor and would do what i need but

1) its only available in europe

2) an older version of the device WOULD work with the US sensors but

3) its unavailable and the newest version of the device only works with the european versions of the sensor

4) if i COULD find the an older one AND get it to me AND not blow it up trying to charge it because thats something i would do, it has mixed reviews on stability, general comfort, and disconnection issues

other problems:

im like 90% sure why its not available here is because

uh

so it converts the RFID to a bluetooth signal to have it sent to a phone

which is bad

because its a software vulnerability

which i mean id take that risk because i already have a software vulnerability in my pump where if you just had my serial number you can hook up a bluetooth controller to it

and like

kill me???

by dosing my with a shitload of insulin

theres no fix for it because thats technically a feature and a bug

because parents put insulin pumps on kids where rhe kid cant reach, so the pump company made a remote control so you can use the pump without unstrapping it from your hyperglycemic toddler

another thing is that if im homebrewing the hardware, theres encryption on the cgm i have because i dont fucking know, people could steal my numbers????

and theres not a lotta info on whether people have cracked it cause some loopers are kinda hush hush so they dont have their exploits patched out

THIS WOULD BE EASIER WITH A DEXCOM

i have this batshit idea i wanna build where i get an nfc reader and hook it up to my chrome and build myself a what is basically an external glucose reader that just looks like the rig from dead space

cause my coworkers sometimes dont believe im dropping dead and need to sit down and not get bothered while i smash fruit into my mask

argue with the big fuckin neon sign asshole im dying

people have figured out the libre outputs so if i can just have an arduino translate the number to an animation for a bunch of neopixels i THINK i can get a healthbar going

problem is that it doesnt really stream the data like other continuous glucose monitors, you get the info by tapping your phone against it

so id have to like. have the nfc reader ping it intermittently to change the level on the healthbar, and idk if thatd strain the battery on the libre

maybe do it like once an hour and have a button to force it to read if im feeling weird

id also have to have the reader sandwiched on top of the cgm but thats fine i can figure that out

how to write a diabetic character: CGM edition

is your diabetic character wearing a CGM? do they have to? CGMs these are Continous Glucose Monitors that can detect how much sugar is in your bloodstream.

How are they different than tradtional fingerprick (blood) tests? they take blood sugar readings 24/7, and provide you with how your sugars are doing at all times, rather than just at that moment. This leads to tremendously better control over blood sugar.

The way they work is that they can "sample" your blood sugar by testing your subcutaneous tissue for sugar levels then adjusting that value.

However, they're less accurate than a fingerprick (blood) reading and will often "lag" behind by about 15 minutes.

SO if you have a character who is expereincing low or high blood sugar - they'd get an alarm on their CGM, and then they might take a fingerprick reading to make sure. CGM false alarms DO exist and it can cause some very annoying situations.

A less careful/depressed/struggling/burnt out character might A. not care or "sleep through" alarms B. not double check with a finger prick C. not care that they're wearing a CGM - pump into stuff or just rip it off (although they are very expensive!).

can you mute them? yes, and a character might choose to do this while they're sleeping, having an exam, or if they know they're about to fuck up their blood sugar.

how long do they last? the libre ones last 14 days. the dexcom ones last up to 10 days.

can you shower with them? yes

can you swim with them? yes

can you have sex with them on? yes, and i've read very funny anecdotes from diabetics having to pause during sex because their cgm was beeping

are they expensive? yes! sometimes, they're covered by insurance, but not completely. If a character is in poverty, or do not have insurance, they likely would have to rely solely on fingerpricks.

Who usually uses CGMs? they are very widespread between T1Ds and are increasingly being used by T2Ds as well.

can you share the readings on multiple devices? yes! your character might share their info with their SO, parents, roommates, close friends...etc. It is genuienly one of the most telling signs of a close relationship between people - because those people will see your "mistakes" and decisions.

where do you stick them? the libre ones (circular ones) officially just go on the back of your arm. The dexcom ones can go on just about anywhere that's "soft" - stomach, thighs, back of arm, chest...etc.

does putting them on hurt? sometimes! the way they are installed involves a needle going into the skin then sitting in the subcutaneous tissue. This can sometimes cause some bleeding, and soreness for a few hours.

Often times the process is completely painless, but this is not the case for everyone. A thinner character might struggle to find a place "cushy" enough for a cgm.

can you put them on your own? yes the process is made for one person to stick it on, but i've seen some couples on instagram act all romantic and sappy about applying it together, so that should give you some ideas for your diabetic characters' budding romances ;)

Some CGMs are just naturally faulty, i'd say about 4 sensors is a busted one, and in that case you'll have to replace them - which most companies just do without any hassle.

do they work with insulin pumps? some insulin pumps can work in tangent with CGMs and provide feedback for the user to automatically generate the correct doses of insulin, depending on their current blood sugar.

do they come off easily? depends on who you're asking. some people swear up and down that they never last and have to put on patches, which are admittedly very cute. Weather, clothing, and how clumsy a character is all factor in this. For me personally i just put them on raw and keep them together by sheer willpower.

CGMs can cause anxiety in diabetics. The constant flow of information can easily burnout people, and this can possibly be the case for any diabetic character you might write. Seeing arrows going down or up can be very distressing, especially knowing how painful some of the consequences are. I personally take breaks for both myself and my wallet from using CGMs to avoid burn out.

nonetheless, CGMs are WONDERFUL pieces of technology that have personally made me much happier as a diabetic, freer and a lot more independent.

does your character want their CGM to show? lots of people, including myself don't like revealing their CGMs - but your character might like showing them off!

and lastly - my favorite thing about CGMs - taking them off and having a "naked" shower once a month where i dont have to worry about it coming off. - They look like this:

You deserve to be comfortable in hot temperatures. In fact, it’s very dangerous if you wear clothes that prevent you from cooling off because it stops your body from being able to regulate/cool your core temperature as you’re not allowing sweat to escape properly. Not only can it worsen symptoms of already being outside in higher temperatures— such as nausea or dizziness, but it can also increase your risk of heatstroke.

If you have body hair, you deserve to be comfortable in hot weather.

If you have stretch marks, you deserve to be comfortable in hot weather.

If you have self harm scars, you deserve to be comfortable in hot weather.

If you’re fat, you deserve to be comfortable in hot weather.

If you have any other scars that you might hold shame or embarrassment over, you deserve to be comfortable in hot weather.

If you’re disabled and it affects the way your body looks, or you have additions to your person like an ostomy bag, an insulin pump/cgm, or any other extension of you, you deserve to be comfortable in hot weather.

No matter the person, what you look like, how you feel about your body (whether you hate it or love it or somewhere in between), you deserve to be comfortable.

I absolutely understand hiding under a hoodie, I used to do it too. However, when you cover your body with layers, or a hoodie or long pants whatever, you block out its own ability to help you survive. When you sweat, it cools your body down and also releases sodium and other electrolytes from your body. The harder your body works, the more you will sweat. And the more you sweat, the more fluids your body loses. Which is why you see all of those Gatorade ads for athletes. Also, your body begins to work harder when the weather becomes warmer because it’s already triggering that natural response. And if you’re not drinking at least water, you will make it worse and it can become life threatening if you’re not careful.

You do not have to be in the sunshine to get heatstroke. It can happen to anyone, anywhere— including indoors. (And that’s why you see the “don’t leave your kids or pets in the car” warnings and advisories.) Keeping yourself cool can mean life or death. You won’t ever win against the sun.

You deserve to be comfortable this summer and every summer after that. Please, take care.

I'm making a wheelchair user picrew because I'm so fucking tired of not being included in picrews so I'm making one for just us, WIP

[ID: a screenshot of a picrew of a wheelchair user doing a wheelie. the wheelchair user has a pink rigid wheelchair, strawberry hair in a short ponytail, a nasal feeding tube with pink tape, a green crop top with mushrooms on it, blue jeans with a crescent moon and stars on them, a pink ostomy bag, and pink AFOs]

I fucked up quite a few of the pinks in this, they don't match, oh well I might fix it later

I'm adding:

-an variety of skin tones

-a variety of hair textures and styles

-head coverings

-medical devices (HAs, BAHAs, CIs, 3 types of feeding tube, oxygen tube, tracheostomy, PICC line, Hickman line, ostomy bag, AFOs, KAFOs, knee braces, wrist braces, elbow braces, CGM, service dog, no constraints on the number of medical devices)

-customizable wheelchair options (arm rests, clothing guards, push rim colors, spoke protectors, calf strap, backpack, power assist)

-multiple vitiligo options

-multiple styles of glasses

-facial differences (microtia, anotia, cleft lip, ptosis)

I'm going to try to add:

-different body type

-prosthetics

I can't add (due to constrictions with layering and the base)

-missing limbs

-different styles of wheelchair

if there's anything you think I'm missing or want to suggest you're welcome to comment/send an ask- I need ideas
