Electric violinists FUSE performed a high impact show at this years annual British Red Cross International Fundraising Committee Gala Ball. Linzi Stoppard and Ben Lee (FUSE) showcased excerpts from their eagerly awaited debut album.

Guests attended a reception and dinner at one of a selection of Ambassadors’ residences before being taken to the Hyatt Regency London The Churchill Hotel for entertainment, dancing and the chance to bid for exclusive and unattainable items at an auction, which raised money for the international life-saving work of the British Red Cross.

The theme this year was ‘A Celebration of Life’ and the gala ball brought together influential people from across the world. Guests included Anne Robinson, Sir Trevor Nunn and European Royals.

FUSE are duo Linzi Stoppard (daughter-in-law of Sir Tom Stoppard) and Ben Lee, the most innovative and in demand string act for a generation. FUSE began 2009 as the act opening for the New Year’s Day London Parade immediately after the Queen’s New Year message. Their performance was broadcast to more than 300 million viewers on 750 international TV stations around the world. Their breakthrough album will be released later this year.

FUSE’s unique and authentic sound, the components of which and their combination are a close guarded secret, couldn’t be achieved using acoustic violins – after months of experimenting with soundscapes and recording techniques Linzi and Ben are adding the final touches to their breathtaking album (co-produced by FUSE). Gone are the days of churning out classical clichés, FUSE’s album will be a rock anthems “best of” fit for Guitar Hero, except this time it’s VIOLIN HERO!

This year’s auction prizes include a glamorous stay in Paris, including tickets to the Christian Lacroix Haute Couture show at Paris fashion week in July and a weekend for four touring the glories of the Veneto in Italy with television presenter and architect expert Francesco da Mosto.

All money raised from the Gala Ball will fund the vital work of the British Red Cross in the UK and around the world, which recently has included aid work in Darfur, relief efforts for the thousands of people affected by cholera and food shortages in Zimbabwe and fund-raising for those affected by the Italian earthquake and Australian bushfire

A PPO health insurance plan is basically an insurance plan that is supported by a preferred provider organization. This preferred provider organization (“PPO”) is a network of providers that have each agreed to provide healthcare services to members of the PPO at lower rates than they would otherwise charge. The providers do this in exchange for a larger referral base from the entities that they contract. These entities are insurance companies. The hard work of negotiating and contracting with medical providers is done by the networks who then charge a fee to the insurance companies for utilizing their network. In this manner, the insurance companies can lower their costs for medical claims by having to pay reduced rates to the medical providers. In addition, policy-holders also benefit by having access to these same rates and reduced prices for any and all out-of pocket healthcare costs that they utilize. Whether for deductibles, services not covered, etc. the consumer also benefits from these reduced fees. In addition, PPO health insurance plans also allow for utilization outside the network of the contracted medical providers. They allow the access, but they attempt to persuade policy-holders from going outside the network by lowering the benefits for any such utilization. In this manner, consumers are enticed to utilize as much of their healthcare services from network providers, which lowers the costs to the insurance company, lowers the out-of-pocket to the insured, and in theory lowers the health insurance premiums of consumers. PPO health insurance plans are fairly flexible and allow plenty of choices for consumers. There are many health insurance companies today that provide these types of plans and are also done in conjunction with high-deductible and/or savings accounts. There are also many, many medical networks in existence today and they must be maintained, expanded, and constantly kept with low contracted prices. There are also networks that lease access from one another in order to provide more expansive coverage. There are good networks and there are also bad ones. There are even health insurance companies that invest and build their own medical networks.
