Umm, so some important context I missed in the small YouTube uploads of Black Point is that the guy Natalie ends up shooting and killing is Gus' brother. 😳 Idk how I missed that, but that definitely makes me feel kinda bad for Gus. Like I get, you hate your husband Natalie, but like you betrayed him, killed his brother, and still stole the money.

This beautiful artwork of Alex, Natalie and Cinna was created by @seadolph for artfight! I am seriously in love... they've been captured beautifully and I have not stopped gushing about this image since the day it was posted <3

Unlocking the secrets behind immune exhaustion in myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) and long COVID patients is at the center of new Griffith University research.

The study, published Oct. 22 in JCI Insights, investigated immune exhaustion at the molecular level, and offers a crucial step forward in understanding the overlap and differences between ME/CFS and long COVID.

Lead author and Research Fellow at Griffith's National Center for Neuroimmunology and Emerging Diseases (NCNED), Dr. Natalie Eaton-Fitch said the term "immune exhaustion" is new in the area of ME/CFS.

"Our research highlights the importance of investigating different immune pathways to better understand these complex conditions," Dr. Eaton-Fitch said.

"Research is ongoing into overlapping and distinct mechanisms at play for ME/CFS and long COVID.

"While we identified commonalities between the two diseases, there are also distinct immune mechanisms potentially at play which may be indicative of the differences in duration of illness and potential insights into early disease progression."

The study is the first to concurrently analyze immune gene expression in both ME/CFS and long COVID patients, emphasizing the intricate role of immune exhaustion in disease progression for both conditions.

ME/CFS and long COVID are increasingly recognized as serious multisystemic conditions that severely impact quality of life.

This research provides insight into the mechanisms of conditions impacting approximately 250,000 Australians with ME/CFS and 500,000 Australians with long COVID.

NCNED Director, Professor Sonya Marshall-Gradisnik, said, "This research will guide investigators on defining subtypes of ME/CFS and long COVID according to immune gene expression."

"Further investigations into immune gene expression may offer new insights into biomarkers used for identifying disease subtypes or treatment strategies for these chronic conditions," Professor Marshall-Gradisnik said.

"Our team is dedicated to using innovative technologies to further identify the mechanisms of ME/CFS and long COVID.

"Our research goal is to ultimately provide innovative technology to improve diagnosis and treatment for people suffering these conditions."

Doll History: Secret Central

Tagline: Styles in a Snap

Producer: Hasbro 

Designer: Gayle Middleton

Debuted: 2003

Height: 3.5 in

History

Secret Central is a set of mini dolls inspired by high school stereotypes who are in a designated school year class. There were two doll lines released for the school years the dolls will “graduate”: Class of ’04 and Class of ’05. The dolls come with a locker and a unique accessory for each specific character. Some sets came with a secret, concealed character. The dolls come with a secret: a secret note that reveals something about the relationships within their high school class. The dolls also came with a code to use on their website to unlock items.

Characters

Class of ’04 came out in 2003, with 16 characters released:

Ashley Adams

Brandon Brown

Bryoni Boyer

Cathy Carson

Dean Darling

Emma Emerson

Georgina Griffith

Lucy Lee

Madison Merryweather

Magenta Morgan

Natalie Nicolby

Jenny Jenkins

Rhonda Rodriguez

Class of ’05 came out in 2004 with over 20 new characters introduced (list is incomplete):

Website

The website that accompanied the dolls had digital lockers that can be unlocked by using a combination found on the products. When the locker is unlocked, various content is revealed. There is also a tour of each of the students, and a matching game to play.

Movie

To promote Class of ’05, a direct-to-DVD movie called “Secret Central: Have You Heard?” was released.

Description: 

There's a secret at Central High, and no one knows what will happen. Notes are being uncovered one by one and there is only so much time before the senior prom to uncover the clues. Join the senior class of '05 as they uncover secrets, sleuth and make friends in their last year of high school. From zany shopping sprees to boyfriend troubles, the Secret Central gang promises laughs, drama and best friendships forever.

So please find a way to support them. Buy a CD, Album Pin, Shirt, Digital Download, or join their communities on Patreon.

You can find a link to all of the artists in the shownotes, along with show times, when you visit our website at celticmusicpodcast.com.

Do you make Celtic art? We’re looking for a design to incorporate into our shirts, album pin and CD in 2025. We’d love your contribution. Email some design ideas with or without our podcast name.

Speaking of CDs and Album Pins, Celtic on the Inside is the name of the latest compilation CD and album pin by the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast. The album is now officially on sale. Only 100 copies of the CD and 100 copies of the Album Pin are available. This is a great way for you to preserve your memories of the Best Irish and Celtic music of 2023. Plus, it’s a great way to financially support the podcast so we can keep bringing you great Celtic music each and every week.

Preserve your memories at magerecords.com where you can get the CD and album pin.

Oh! And do you know what an album pin is?

An album pin is an enamel pin themed to a particular album. You get a digital download of the album. And you can then wear your album on your sleeve… or attach it to another piece of clothing. It’s a visual way to tell others that you are Celtic on the Inside.

If you are a Celtic musician or in a Celtic band, then please submit your band to be played on the podcast. You don’t have to send in music or an EPK. You will get a free eBook called Celtic Musicians Guide to Digital Music and learn how to follow the podcast. It’s 100% free. Just email Email follow@bestcelticmusic and of course, listeners can learn how to subscribe to the podcast and get a free music - only episode.

TRAVEL WITH CELTIC INVASION VACATIONS

Every year, I take a small group of Celtic music fans on the relaxing adventure of a lifetime. We don't see everything. Instead, we stay in one area. We get to know the region through its culture, history, and legends. You can join us with an auditory and visual adventure through podcasts and videos.

The Celtic Invasion of Scotland’s Whisky Distilleries is now booked. The next Celtic Invasion will go to Galicia in Spain IF I can get enough people to explore that region with me. I need a minimum of 6 to make it happen. It’s not yet open, but if you’d like to join, sign up to our mailing list. Learn more about the invasion at http://celticinvasion.com/ #celticmusic #irishmusic #celticmusicpodcast

Cheryl Arvio emailed: “Hi Marc, My boyfriend went to an Irish set dance yesterday. Since it was Pride Day in Chicago, he wore your Pride Month with the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast T - shirt to the gathering, prompting several of his fellow dancers to tell him that they, too, are listeners of the podcast!

Just thought you'd like to know you've got fans here in Chicago  ☘️☘️🎻🪗😊”

Daniel Ide emailed from Fallbrook, CA: 'Dia duit Marc  -  I am delighted to officially become a patron of The Irish and Celtic Music Podcast.

I have been a fan of your show since this time last year, and an Irish and Celtic music fan most of my life.  I stumbled upon your podcast while searching “Celtic Music” on Sirius Radio.

I played in an Irish Folk music band in college 40 years ago (when The Chieftains ruled and Sinead was kicking ass).  We called ourselves “The Rakes of Kilarney”.  I was a guitarist and singer back then, today I am a full on percussionist (congacero mostly) with a passion for Latin - Jazz and Afro - Cuban rhythms.  This past year I have been practicing my Bodhran playing to a level of session quality performance (thanks to your podcast).  My plan is to travel to the West of Ireland in the end of October and session hop my way from Galway up to Sligo and beyond.  I will be hitting you up for recommendations as the date grows closer.

I am 5th generation Irish - American.  My ancestors fled the hard times In Ireland during the 1870’s, landing in Boston.  Very few of them, generationally, have ever returned, myself included.  I have been a student of Irish and Celtic history and culture with a romantic notion of returning “home”.  My parents have been there a few times, making connections with distant relatives in Castlebar and Derry.  I intend to return to the origin point of most of my family, feel what needs to be felt and embrace what ever is to come of it.  Ever since I read John O’Donohue’s “Anam Cara” I have been absolutely smitten with my imminent return to the home of my ancestors.

So, as you can see, I am experiencing a delightful homecoming to my ancestral roots, and The Irish and Celtic Music podcast is providing me with a lovely springboard for weekly indulgences.  What I love most about your show is your authentic love of the music, and the wonderful new connections being made for Irish and Celtic Music right in our own backyards.

Blessings of Peace and Love to you and your’s.

Slainte, Daniel"
