Nancy Cunard, of the English shipping family, announced on May 2, 1932 that she had been disinherited by her mother for her relationship with Henry Crowder, an African-American jazz musician. Cunard was a famously flamboyant bohemian writer and political activist whose best-known work was editing Negro Anthology, a huge compendium of work by Black writers. The photo shows Cunard with John Banting, left, a painter, and Taylor Gordon, right, a writer, in front of the Harlem hotel.

Some poor freelancer for British GQ had to cobble together a piece ahead of Christopher Nolan's OPPENHEIMER and since all the Barbenheimer jokes have been made, they decided to dream a little bigger (darling) and present to the readership the reachiest of reaches about the homoreoticism of Christopher Nolan films. A stretch worthy of Mister Fantastic, Elongated Man and Plastic Man.

I'm not mad at it. Especially since they, at least, got the #1 and #2 picks correct.

Because just what things do you get up to with the Protagonist, Neil???

World Diabetes Day is observed on November 14th each year to raise awareness about diabetes, its prevention, and management. It was created by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) and the World Health Organization (WHO). The theme for World Diabetes Day 2023 is 'Access to Diabetes Care.'

Over 100 years ago, Frederick Banting and John Macleod won a Nobel Prize for discovering the treatment that has gone on to save millions of lives worldwide - insulin.  

It's also a reminder that you are not alone.

Paint your nails blue to help us raise awareness this World Diabetes Day on 14 November!

Take on the #NailingDiabetes challenge and help turn the world blue this World Diabetes Day, so that others living with diabetes know they’re not alone.  

For everyone living with diabetes. And for you. For the days you feel like you’re nailing your diabetes, and the days you don’t - and for everyone who’s been there to support you on those tough days.

On September 6th 1876, the Scottish physician and physiologist John James Macleod was born near Dunkeld.

J J Macleod is arguably the most famous unknown Scot you will hear about today.

He was the son of the Rev. Robert Macleod. When later the family moved to Aberdeen, Macleod went to the Grammar School there and later entered the Marischal College of the University of Aberdeen to study medicine.

J J R Macleod directed and informed the research which led to the discovery of insulin. His expertise ensured that the laboratory findings of his team were rapidly translated into the clinical application of insulin to treat type 1 diabetes in 1922 – one of the therapeutic landmarks of 20th century medicine.

Prior to the discovery of insulin, type 1 diabetes was fatal and without it many millions of people, many of them children, would subsequently have died. The discovery of insulin is frequently and inaccurately attributed to “Banting and Best”, and for decades Macleod was effectively airbrushed out of medical history.  The importance of the research of this quiet and unassuming Scottish scientist cannot be over-estimated and he deserves to be as well-known to the public as is Sir Alexander Fleming for his discovery of penicillin.

It was not until 1982 when a Canadian historian, Michael Bliss, published his book, “The Discovery of Insulin” that Macleod’s reputation was restored and he took his rightful place as co-discoverer

It is also interesting to note that the first insulin in the UK was given in the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh in August 1922. Following publication of the early findings regarding insulin in March 1922, doctors in Edinburgh contacted John Macleod who provided them with detailed directions on how to make and administer insulin.

In October 1923 it was announced in Stockholm that Frederick Banting and John Macleod would share the 1923 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for the discovery of insulin.

John James Macleod was  buried at Aberdeen cemetery, and the grave seems to be the only memorial to him in Scotland, Canada at least honours him with a plaque at the house he stayed in Toronto and another at the University.

Frederick Banting was born on November 14th, 1891. 29 and bit years later, in 1921, he discovered insulin. Working with Charles Best, and under the supervision of John Macleod, they were able to isolate insulin. James Collip assisted in purifying insulin so it could be safely injected, for the first time in January of 1922. Before insulin, the most effective “treatment” was to limit diet to the point diabetics starved to death. 

Broadly speaking, insulin helps turn food into energy. It’s produced by the beta cells in the pancreas. In type 1 diabetes these cells are destroyed by the immune system.  Before insulin, type 1 diabetes was a death sentence, one most often given to children. It used to be called juvenile diabetes because in the vast majority of cases onset is during childhood. 

In January of 1923 Banting, Best, and Collip sold the patent for insulin to the University of Toronto for $1 each so it could be mass produced. Banting said “insulin does not belong to me, it belongs to the world.” 

Without insulin I would have died before I reached my teens. Without insurance, insulin would cost me around $1000 a month.

So today, on the birthday of Frederick Banting and consequently World Diabetes Day, I would like to let you know that this blog and the thousands of descriptions I’ve made would not exist without Frederick Banting. Because I would be dead before I ever even heard of Tumblr.

predictions / fevered wishes for Fallout Commander decks

I think they'll be east coast factions with cards in them / alternate commanders from the west coast that make them more archetypal

of course the most obvious one is the Brotherhood of Steel. One of the decks is going to be a BoS deck, with Arthur Maxson as the commander and Roger Maxson as the alt. equipment theme is obvious, and i think it will want you to have multiple equipped creatures rather than loading up one. think they'll be Jeskai. one suit of horned power armor is all I ask for.

Minutemen led by Preston Garvey or a Nate / Nora partner combo. Alt commander is someone from the NCR, so they are the "rebuilding after the apocalypse / hope for the future" deck. either Bant or Naya, probably Bant. Landfall, explore, and something to represent building up your little town, like levelers or classes, or maybe non-Siege battles to defend.

Enclave led by either John Henry Eden or MODUS. Alternate is obviously Horrigan but there's also Caesar in there and some Rakdos raiders so this is the "old world blues / war never changes" deck. Mardu. Probably aristocrats (life is cheap and disposable) with some energy counters (large, cumbersome, distant resources).

Institute led by Shaun, with backup commander The Master, making it the "abominations of science" deck. Sultai. Super mutants and robots, cheating out big creatures, stapling creatures onto each other, Emerge to represent changing into another creature, and good ol' Mutate.

bonus option: Vault Dweller, Chosen One, Warrior, Lone Wanderer, Courier 6, and Sole Survivor colorless creature cards with either companion or a weird "partner with anyone as long as you meet the criteria" thing to represent the player's choices letting them define their character and the ability to pick to back different sides.

I’m mad at JD and Rudy for doing this all they did was fuel a delusional ship 💀 https://twitter.com/sxarlights/status/1624265046019936256?s=46&t=0FxSc2u0_UKE-PCvoe029g

I’m not because… it’s not that deep. The only ones who think this is fuelling, confirming or baiting jjpope are delusional jjpopes.

Now the neck nuzzle or whatever was fruity af and like… idk what those boys were doing there lmao. But… it was the boys messing around and means nothing with in the context of the season.

The be safe thing will never not make me laugh more than how much they take that ‘be safe’ moment out of context. It’s like oh look at how they caress each other and look into each others eyes while saying be safe. You know they are mocking John B right? Like it’s bants, it’s ribbing. Every call back to it is an inside joke mocking the cheesy couples not a jjpope hint. Like I beg of you, have some media literacy, please. No, not even that. Know how friendships work. (On a side note can’t wait for jj to do a genuine be safe with Kie and get mock relentlessly for it)

I don’t blame Rudy and JD for having fun with these moments because they are just emulating their completely platonic real life relationship, that’s not queerbaiting. And I love seeing that close, physically affectionate male friendship void of toxic masculinity. It’s one of the things that made me fall in love with the pogues

The discovery of insulin, which saved countless lives, won the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1923 for Frederick G. Banting and John JR Macleod. The choice of the two has been the subject of numerous controversies ever since the award was announced, as stated on the official website of the Nobel Prizes, nobelprize.org. The name of the famous Romanian researcher Nicolae C. Paulescu also appears in the discussion, one of those who would have been entitled to receive recognition for the huge discovery.

50 years after Paulescu's work was published, Murray Anderson, a professor of physiology at the College of Medicine in Glasgow, wrote an article acknowledging Paulescu's discoveries. In a 1971 edition of the Journal of the History of Medicine and Allied Sciences, Murray wrote: "Insufficient recognition has been given to Paulescu, the distinguished Romanian scientist who, at the time when the Toronto team was just beginning their research, had already managed to extract antidiabetic hormone from the pancreas and demonstrate its effectiveness in reducing hyperglycemia in diabetic dogs”.
