Merece destaque a criação dos cateteres de longa duração na década de 1970, em especial os totalmente implantáveis, que revolucionaram o tratamento do câncer, aumentando a segurança e o conforto dos pacientes oncológicos. Desde que Harvey, em 1616, descreveu o sistema circulatório a partir de estudos em animais e que Sir Christopher Wren, 4 décadas depois, realizou a primeira infusão endovenosa em seres vivos, a evolução na técnica de acesso e nos dispositivos para infusão tem sido constante. O acesso ao sistema venoso, seja para coleta de amostras de sangue ou para infusão de soluções, é de vital importância para o diagnóstico e tratamento de pacientes com as mais variadas condições clínicas. Will Elizabeth hold onto her self-preserving hate, or will she take note of her wings changing color and discover the deepest love? However, this phenomenon has been rarely talked about and even more rarely recorded. If their soulmate touches their wings, they will change colors, just in the place touched. What many people do not know, since they treat the Winged as slaves, is that all Winged have a soulmate. However, since the Winged are such a rarity they have not been studied overmuch. She is determined to hate him, for her own self-preservation. It does not matter to her that she was purchased as a gift for the young man who hates enslavement as much as Elizabeth. Elizabeth is furious at being sold, and she is ready to hate her new her owner Fitzwilliam Darcy. The Winged are considered a blessing to the family because if finances become tight, they can always sell the Winged for a great sum of money.

The security drones wouldn’t be scanning for SecUnits unless they were specifically instructed, and nothing had tried to ping me so far, which was a relief. Besides the humans, there were bots of all different shapes and sizes, drones buzzing along above the crowd, and cargo moving on the overhead walkways. Three passenger transports had come through wormholes along with the bot-driven cargo transport I had hitched a ride on, and the big mall between the different embarkation zones was crowded. This involved not panicking when anybody accidentally made eye contact with me.įortunately, the humans and augmented humans were too busy trying to get wherever they were going or searching the feed for directions and transport schedules. I skimmed it but most of my attention was on getting through the crowd while pretending to be an ordinary augmented human, and not a terrifying murderbot. But mostly because the news was boring and I didn’t care what humans were doing to each other as long as I didn’t have to a) stop it or b) clean up after it.īut as I crossed the transit ring’s mall, a recent newsburst from Station was in the air, bouncing from one public feed to another. Partly because downloading the entertainment media was less likely to trigger any alarms that might be set up on satellite and station networks political and economic news was carried on different levels, closer to the protected data exchanges. Even after I hacked my governor module and got access to the feeds, I never paid much attention to it. In fact, Rhisiart was killed by a dagger to his back after the attack, an arrow was pushed into his chest. Rhisiart’s back is wet, while his front is dry. Through some detective work, Brother Cadfael realizes that the arrow did not kill Rhisiart. John offers no resistance, as his arrest means he’ll be held near the home of Annest, whom he loves. As a result, Prior Robert orders John’s arrest for impeding the law and for breaking his vow of obedience to his superiors. Engelardruns off, with assistance from John. Prior Robert insists on Engelard’s arrest. Eventually, his body is found in the woods, his chest pierced, bearing the mark of Engelard, an Englishman who is in love with Rhisiart’s daughter, Sioned. At the time of the meeting, however, Rhisiart does not appear. With Father Huw’s support, Prior Robert requests another audience with Rhisiart, who agrees to take the meeting. Rhisiart leaves when Prior Robert offers him a bribe. The most influential landowner within the parish, Rhisiart, does not support the removal of the artifacts. When the monks from the abbey arrive at Gwytherin, they discover that a local clergyman, Father Huw, will not allow the removal of the remains until he receives the approval of the free men of the church. A party from the abbey including Prior Robert, Sub-Prior Richard, Brother Jerome, Columbanus, John, and Brother Cadfael leaves to retrieve the saint’s remains. Abbot Heribert approves a trip to Wales to locate, remove, and relocate Saint Winifred’s remains.

Ollie's mysterious death in Paris' Ritz Hotel in 1920 was one of Hollywood's first scandals, ensuring that her legend lived on. Together they developed a reputation for drinking, club-going, wrecking cars, and fighting, along with giving each other expensive make-up gifts. After a stormy courtship, she married playboy Jack Pickforrd, Mary Pickford's wastrel brother. When Hollywood beckoned, Ollie signed first with Triangle Pictures, and then with Myron Selznick's new production company, becoming most well known for her work as a "baby vamp," the precursor to the flappers of the 1920s. After winning a contest for "The Most Beautiful Girl in New York," shopgirl Ollie modeled for the most famous artists in New York, and then went on to become the toast of Broadway. From her longtime home at the theater, Ollie's ghost tells her story from her early life in Pittsburgh to her tragic death at twenty-five. They say she's the ghost of Olive Thomas, one of the loveliest girls who ever lit up the Ziegfeld Follies and the silent screen. A presence lurks in New York City's New Amsterdam Theatre when the lights go down and the audience goes home. He flirts, he charms, he gives every impression of a man falling in love, but she can’t quite believe it’s all true. So when Richard Kenworthy demands an introduction, she is suspicious. With her pale hair and quiet, sly wit she tends to blend into the background, and she likes it that way. Iris Smythe-Smith is used to being underestimated. She’s the type of girl you don’t notice until the second-or third look, but there’s something about her, something simmering under the surface, and he knows she’s the one. He knows he can’t be too picky, but when he sees Iris Smythe-Smith hiding behind her cello at her family’s infamous musicale, he thinks he might have struck gold. Sir Richard Kenworthy has less than a month to find a bride. In this case, cellist Iris Smythe-Smith finds herself courted by a suspiciously eager nobleman-but is he only playing with her heartstrings? From #1 New York Times bestselling author, and creator of the Bridgerton series, Julia Quinn presents the fourth and final installment in the Bridgerton adjacent Regency era-set world featuring the romantic adventures of the well-meaning but less-than-accomplished Smythe-Smith musicians. Hogmanay was quiet too (we’re both homebodies and not keen on going out at New Year – prefer to spend the time in our jammies lol). We went to my partner’s folks house for Christmas Dinner and just had a nice chilled day. I’ve been playing a few games (A Plague Tale: Innocence (again) and The Sims 4) plus watching films (my traditional Christmas Eve movie – Black Christmas lol) and a couple of shows (Emily in Paris – what can I say, it’s trashy but pretty!) and also starting watching World on Fire (which is so, so good). I’ve had the last week off work and I’m off the whole of next week as well and it’s been great just to chill out and not think too much about everything (probably also why I’m posting more as well). I’d say it was a New Year resolution but no one ever keeps those so it’s more like a promise to myself. I made a decision to not let things get too on top of me and most importantly to give myself a break and stop beating myself up for every little thing. Happy New Year folks! Whoa – three posts in one week? Some kind of record for me (this year anyway!) What can I say? I’m inspired lol.
