“I think it’s the fun, the camaraderie, and what we’re doing for the community, and being part of that community spirit,” says O’Riordan.Volunteers have varying qualifications: consultants, interns, registrars, specialist and enrolled nurses, paramedics, first aiders, and occasionally, physiotherapists and social workers.They all require first aid training at a minimum, but there are other less tangible requisites.“Can you chat with someone, can you socially engage with someone? Can you have fun on the night? Those other skills are vitally important,” says O’Riordan.“I remember using all my first aid equipment to put stilettos back on for one of the drag queens,” laughs O’Riordan.Another time, someone was coming out for the first time and was completely overwhelmed.“Nothing wrong with them medically. They just needed a hug.”Every year, after the parade and party, Mardi Gras gathers feedback on the types of injuries treated by medical volunteers.

is nearing the end, and tensions are rising dramatically as the competition got narrowed down in a big way on Monday with a double eviction.Following last Friday's eviction — which saw Carson Kressley get the boot — Todrick Hall won the title of Head of Household and he went on to put Todd Bridges and Lamar Odom up on the chopping block.On Monday, Todrick made it perfectly clear that Todd was his real target — as he's done better in most of the competitions than either Lamar or Cynthia Bailey, and Miesha Tate has been Todrick's ally throughout the whole season.Todd didn't appreciate being nominated and was also irritated that Todrick and Miesha likely manipulated him into axing Carson last week. However, as Todd and Lamar have been friends and allies for some time now, having them both on the block almost guaranteed that one or the other of them will be going home, regardless of the Power of Veto competition.That being said, the only way Todd could really shake things up — and potentially throw Todrick's game for a loop — was to earn the Veto. The competition was designed to look like a luge event, and it saw the contestants face off by going down a ramp and trying to do so closest to a pre-determined time.

British spy novelist John le Carre has sadly died. The best-selling British spy writer died from pneumonia on Saturday (December 12) at the age of 89-years-old, his literary agent shared with CNN.

John Le Carré was a British novelist known for bestselling spy novels including “The Spy Who Came in from the Cold” and “Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.”Le Carré’s novels drew in part from his own experiences in the 1950s and ‘60s working for British intelligence in both MI5 and MI6, the British equivalents of the FBI and CIA. His early novels focus on the Cold War that raged as they were being written, and several featured the Le Carré hero George Smiley, a retired spy whose everyman qualities endeared him to British readers as an anti-James Bond.
