La Jolla Scripps Beach Family Photos | N + H

La Jolla Scripps Beach Family Photos | N + H As a La Jolla family photographer, one of the photo locations I get requested the most is Scripps Beach. Located in La Jolla, it is one of the prettiest beaches that offers the most diverse backdrops! Especially at low tide! Whenever I am requested to shoot at the beach, I try to suggest dates where the tide is at its lowest or near low tide. This…

This is a modernist home built in 1994 in La Jolla, California. I would call it "brutalist lite." 3bds, 5ba, $16.8M (you really gotta like concrete, though, to pay that amount. Should be interesting to see how fast it sells.)

The grand entrance hall is a cross between a concrete castle and a lighthouse.

Not sure where this door under the stairs leads, but it's a beautiful door. I hate when realtors take such stupid confusing photos.

I don't see a formal indoor living room. I guess it's this outdoor space around the fire table, b/c California, and there's a sort of "garage" door to a loggia.

Alongside the main entrance is this hallway with double doors.

The doors appear to open to this bath.

This is probably the closest it gets to a living room with a large modern fireplace and ocean views.

There's also this smaller room with a more provincial fireplace.

The only photo of the kitchen shows an angular counter attached to a large quartz counter. The cabinets are Teak.

Not sure if this is the primary bedroom, but it has an ocean view and a narrow terrace.

Marble tub in front of window.

This bedroom has a view and a fireplace.

And, the 3rd bedroom has a terrace facing the ocean.

A home gym.

Around the exterior of the home. The ocean is pretty close.

I don't know, looks like some day some of it will be in the ocean.

Driveway and garage are on the street.

Day 28- A picture of you last year and now, how have you changed since then?

The first photo of me was in Charlotte, North Carolina in August 2021. I was visiting two good friends and their baby daughter, who was about two months old at the time. On that day that photo was taken, my friends and I enjoyed a warm summer's day hanging out at an old red brick warehouse complex that had been converted into a hip, art collective-esque space with cafes, galleries, and a traveling Van Gough exhibit. I daydreamed, listened to A Tribe Called Quest that was reverberating from some nearby speakers, looked up at the clouds, and watched my friends interact with their baby daughter; it was probably the first moment I recall that I was viscerally inspired to become a parent myself one day in the future. Later, we drove around downtown Charlotte before finding a quiet community park tucked away in the city, where my friend and I walked around the baseball field and his wife nursed the baby in the car as a rainstorm was approaching. As my friend and I walked back to the car we ended up getting caught in the rain for a bit. I asked him to take a portrait of me in the parking lot to commemorate the moment once the rain let up. We had smoked turkey, beef brisket, baby back ribs, hushpuppies, and cold beers for dinner before returning back home for the night.

I often think about how my life might have turned out differently if I had decided to take shelter with these friends in North Carolina instead of going to Texas when I had to evacuate New Orleans from Hurricane Ida only a few weeks later. I probably would not have been living as recklessly and wildly as I had been in Austin or Dallas, since I would have been in a more stable, domestic household than couch surfing with my other bachelor friends. Even though a lot of the food options in both North Carolina and Texas are not too dissimilar, I would probably still have been eating more wholesome, nutritious home-cooked foods if I had been taking shelter in Charlotte. Realistically, I also would not have been exposed to as many people there compared to either Austin or Dallas too. But a lot of that type of thinking is just a never-ending rabbit hole of hypothetical "what-ifs." I have since made peace with the realization that I made a serious of poor, irrevocable decisions with my health and well-being during my "evacuation vacation" in Texas that proved to be my downfall. And that is a lesson I have to live with for the rest of my life going forward.

The second photo of me was taken at Scripps Pier in La Jolla, California, about three months after I had been discharged from the hospital in San Diego following my double lung transplant. In about the year since these two photos were taken, I was hospitalized in three different states, lost my father, survived 165 days on ECMO treatment, received my double lung transplant surgery, began playing more video games and watching more movies and television series, reconnected with formerly estranged friends and family, lost 45 pounds from being in the hospital, regained almost 30 pounds since getting out, released a full-length album with my folk rock band, began a lifelong medication regiment as a transplant recipient, and underwent a surgical procedure to remove a polyp from above my vocal cord and seal up the hole in my neck from my trach tube.

Life as I knew it before feels like a distant memory—finishing my first year of graduate school in New Orleans, playing music and performing at gigs with my band, bicycling around and exercising at Audubon Park, smoking a joint and enjoying a cold beer, hiking through the mountains and swimming at the beaches in Hawaii, beginning in person classes for my second year of graduate school, and working towards completing my master's thesis in musicology. Now, I have had to put my studies on hold to take a medical leave of absence and I am still in full-time recovery in San Diego, living with my mom and grandma. I have recently resumed writing tutoring and coaching UCSD's mock trial program in my spare time. I do miss regularly playing music with other musicians; playing my instruments by myself without going busking or collaborating with other creatives does not hold the same appeal anymore. I have been sober from any recreational drugs and alcohol for over a full year by now, and I intend to keep it that way until the one year anniversary of my transplant surgery, after which I will decide to what extent I want to reintroduce any substances back into my life. Maybe I will find that I am better off without any of them.

The one thing that has not necessarily changed but has substantially deepened has been my belief and faith in God and Jesus Christ. I do not know how an inveterate atheist or someone who denies the existence of a higher power could have survived the ordeal that I went through, both from a mental fortitude perspective and also the circumstances and timing surrounding the events that transpired throughout my extended hospitalization and leading up to my surgery, over which I had absolutely no control or influence over. I cannot simply dismiss the miracle of my survival as a random, chaotic coincidence that I could probably do all over again and yield the same favorable results based on another spin of the cosmic lottery wheel.

A good friend of mine told me that even though a lot of my life circumstances might have changed, he did not see me as any different than the Kyle that he knew before. I might have added new layers to who I currently am based on what I have been through, but at the end of the day, he still saw me as the same person who is constantly growing and evolving into who I am today. That was encouraging to hear for me when I was still in the hospital, since I felt like a helpless shell of a human being for so long, at the mercy of the medical staff and God at all times. But just to be alive today is a miracle in itself and the rest of the journey is still waiting to be continued.

Happy graduation, Vivian!

Content warning: graphic discussion of plastic surgery, anatomy, etc.

🕯 The home smells like oatmeal-chocolate chip cookies due to baking them not thirty minutes ago before bedtime, intermixed with the warming scent of lit bakery item scented candles.

I haven't checked my work phone in a few hours. This is pretty big for me, to not even check it in the evenings after work. I want to get better at really stepping away from work. Our offices are closed on the weekend, but I work from home and my work phone is at home with me so it's tempting to check it. However, I don't check my work phone on Sundays because that is my day devoted to no work, not even chores really. I want to be better at not worrying about work and having much identity in work. I don't like work, I am grateful for work, but I don't want any of my identity in it. I just want to do a job well done and provide for my family and hopefully help people along the way.

My favorite time of day is when I am in bed before sleep, because I look forward to sleep. I like the dark hours, the quiet. It's more home-y, more intimate, no worldly distractions. The darker hours make one gather more internally and inch towards coziness and impending rest for the weary body, mind, and heart.

Today I spoke on the phone with a plastic surgery office in La Jolla. I actually had a consultation with them in 2013, but I never went through with it. I spoke with them today about getting an approximate quote for what I was thinking of: breast lift and nose tip rhinoplasty. Approximately $17,000 total. This sounds so shallow talking about it, but I want to, because I believe other people think about these things at times in our current culture and I want to bring to light something that needs to be talked about among people of faith. Because I think plastic surgery does whittle down to our faith, our belief in God, the Creator and the created. The created body. I inquire about the breast lift because my chest used to be bigger in high school and then pregnancy and nursing for a year. One breast is a lower than the other a bit because G preferred the right breast with nursing. I want to get a lift because I want whoever I marry to be pleased with my body, I'm embarrassed at it. Why am I embarrassed? Because my body doesn't line up with the ideals I see. If this was 200 years ago and there was no TV, no computers, no nudity on brazen display like now, like bikini tops, etc. I wouldn't have thought twice about it likely. A body is a body. I am sure this is how women in less developed areas think now, they don't worry about their breasts. A body is a body, there's no shame. It serves it's function, it's not meant to be pleasing to a man's eye - what a petty concern. These are the things we think about sometimes, in our culture. We call it empowerment, but empowerment would be contentment in a woman's body as is, surely? One scary fact I learned: in a breast lift they actually move your nipple. I couldn't go through with it. I'd rather have my body as is than have someone alter where my nipples are; how strange to cut out flesh and re-position it. I couldn't get implants; too many horror stories of side effects in the sense of illness and mental fatigue/fog and no man I have ever met likes them (and I've known men who have been with women with implants, they don't like them, they feel fake, like hard balls under skin - no intimacy there when a man is thinking of fake hard plastic under the skin and knowing the woman was insecure enough to get them done [men prefer confidence] - plus a woman loses sensation in her breasts). As for rhinoplasty, my nose is actually fine. From a profile view it is straight and actually cute, but I have this strange bump of sorts from a certain angle (I've shown photos here before of it, I don't really actually care), and it would be simple for a surgeon to shave down the cartilage of it and change the shape. What message does this send to my daughter? I wouldn't be surprised if she would get nose surgery someday because of my example because I sent her a message that a unique nose isn't good enough and it must be changed to look like what the masses like, by what modern beauty standards like. I would be telling her that her nose as is, is undesirable and unwanted. I hate that message. What a hypocrite I would be. We send conflicting messages to girls all the time; it's enough to make females go mentally crazy with all of the conflicting and pressurized messages.

Why do I share that and what does this have to do with faith? I like to disclose things honestly. As for faith, my faith is a reason I don't want to change my body. God created my body. Do I live to please the world, even myself, or God? Did God create a mistake when he created me? My body is imperfect in the sense of health things, but these are fallen bodies in a fallen world. It's not like I was slipped under his radar and he sent me out into the world before I was ready, before things were perfected, like he made mistakes. He put me on Earth, with health concerns and all, just as I am. It's okay. To go to a man to cut out my nipples, re-position them, lift my skin, shave my nose - is to say what God created and carved isn't good. I can't do that. I'd rather be ugly (and I know I am not ugly) than live to please other people according to how I look. People say they do plastic surgery for themselves - no, they don't. If the world was blind they wouldn't do it. Everyone knows people do it for others. Again, if people would never ever see you - would you still do it? No. You wouldn't risk the health concerns, shell out the money, etc. You wouldn't care. It's just you seeing you anyway. We know why people do it, we know why we are tempted to do it - to be thought of as beautiful/desirable by others.

Sometimes I think: I could spend the money and be perceived as beautiful, be sought-after more. Yet I know it wouldn't make me happy. This is statistically proven that plastic surgery doesn't make people happier. I heard somewhere when reading a study that a large number of women who had plastic surgery actually committed suicide. The study attributed it to possible link of those wanting plastic surgery having body dysmorphia and therefore mental illness which led to suicide. I think a part of this could be that you think you'll be happy, beautiful, sought after, and when it doesn't happen what have you left? You put your eggs in the basket of beauty. And beauty failed. What have you left? I would rather have a man fall in love with me as I am anyway, and not for fitting into an ideal that is not me. Everyone wants to be loved for who they are as they are. I do believe the right man for me will love me for as I am, that my body will please him, and that my nose is part of my family heritage and I don't have to re-write that family history to fit in and be loved. More than anything, I am convicted that not getting plastic surgery is right because it's telling God he did not make a mistake when he created me. Plastic surgery consideration does whittle down to our faith, our belief in God, the view of the Creator and the created.

In 1976 I worked for the La Jolla Light, a weekly paper in San Diego. As the Bicentennial was celebrated I was given an assignment to submit photos for a “American Birthday” page. I thought it would be great to photograph at Black’s Beach since most everyone would be wearing their Birthday Suits. This image was run (cropped a bit) and we received quite a few irate letters to the Editor. My favorite was from a local Matron who stated she “didn’t subscribe to The Light to see an old guys flabby naked behind!” I discussed the story with another photographer and said it was my first time at Black’s and I was surprised at how many more men there seemed to be than I expected. He laughed and said I should have known I was at the section for gay men! I heard on the radio that June is Pride Month, so I thought I’d start here.

La Jolla Beach Family Photos | Stacy + Mike As a La Jolla family photographer, I love getting to photograph at the beach! More specifically, the different conditions you can find the beach at. The tides affect how much of the beach is exposed to you. Beaches that have reefs, loose it’s sandy beach during a high tide. That is why whenever a client requests a beach session, I always like to check…

Myrna Loy (born Myrna Adele Williams; August 2, 1905 – December 14, 1993) was an American film, television and stage actress. Trained as a dancer, Loy devoted herself fully to an acting career following a few minor roles in silent films. She was originally typecast in exotic roles, often as a vamp or a woman of Asian descent, but her career prospects improved greatly following her portrayal of Nora Charles in The Thin Man (1934).

Born in Helena, Montana, Loy was raised in rural Radersburg during her early childhood, before relocating to Los Angeles with her mother in her early adolescence. There, she began studying dance, and trained extensively throughout her high school education. She was discovered by production designer Natacha Rambova, who helped facilitate film auditions for her, and she began obtaining small roles in the late 1920s, mainly portraying vamps. Her role in The Thin Man helped elevate her reputation as a versatile actress, and she reprised the role of Nora Charles five more times.

Loy's career began to slow in the 1940s, and she appeared in only a few films in the 1950s, including a lead role in the comedy Cheaper by the Dozen (1950), as well as supporting parts in The Ambassador's Daughter (1956) and the drama Lonelyhearts (1958). She appeared in only eight films between 1960 and 1981, after which she retired from acting.

Although Loy was never nominated for an Academy Award, in March 1991 she received an Honorary Academy Award in recognition of her life's work both onscreen and off, including serving as assistant to the director of military and naval welfare for the Red Cross during World War II, and a member-at-large of the U.S. Commission to UNESCO. Loy died in December 1993 in New York City, aged 88.

Loy was born Myrna Adele Williams on August 2, 1905, in Helena, Montana, the daughter of Adelle Mae ( Johnson) and rancher David Franklin Williams. Her parents had married in Helena in 1904, one year before Loy was born. She had one younger brother, David Frederick Williams (d. 1982). Loy's paternal grandfather, David Thomas Williams, was Welsh, and emigrated from Liverpool, England to the United States in 1856, arriving in Philadelphia. Unable to read or write in English, he later settled in the Montana Territory where he began a career as a rancher. Loy's maternal grandparents were Scottish and Swedish immigrants. During her childhood, her father worked as a banker, real estate developer, and farmland appraiser in Helena, and was the youngest man ever elected to serve in the Montana state legislature. Her mother had studied music at the American Conservatory of Music in Chicago, and at one time considered a career as a concert performer, but instead devoted her time to raising Loy and her brother. Loy's mother was a lifelong Democrat, while her father was a staunch Republican. She was raised in the Methodist faith.

Loy spent her early life in Radersburg, Montana, a rural mining community approximately 50 miles (80 km) southeast of Helena. During the winter of 1912, Loy's mother nearly died from pneumonia, and her father sent his wife and daughter to La Jolla, California. Loy's mother saw great potential in Southern California, and during one of her husband's visits, she encouraged him to purchase real estate there. Among the properties he bought was land that he would later sell, at a considerable profit, to filmmaker Charlie Chaplin for his film studio there. Although her mother tried to persuade her husband to move to California permanently, he preferred ranch life and the three eventually returned to Montana. Soon afterward, Loy's mother needed a hysterectomy and insisted Los Angeles was a safer place to have it done, so she, Loy, and Loy's brother David moved to Ocean Park, where Loy began to take dancing lessons. After the family returned to Montana, Loy continued her dancing lessons, and at the age of 12, Myrna Williams made her stage debut performing a dance she had choreographed based on "The Blue Bird" from the Rose Dream operetta at Helena's Marlow Theater.

When Loy was 12, her father died during the 1918 flu pandemic in November of that year. Loy's mother permanently relocated the family to California, where they settled in Culver City, outside Los Angeles. Loy attended the exclusive Westlake School for Girls while continuing to study dance in downtown Los Angeles. When her teachers objected to her extracurricular participation in theatrical arts, her mother enrolled her in Venice High School, and at 15, she began appearing in local stage productions.

In 1921, Loy posed for Venice High School sculpture teacher Harry Fielding Winebrenner as "Inspiration"; the full length figure was central in his allegorical sculpture group Fountain of Education. Completed in 1922, the sculpture group was installed in front of the campus outdoor pool in May 1923 where it stood for decades. Loy's slender figure with her uplifted face and one arm extending skyward presented a "vision of purity, grace, youthful vigor, and aspiration" that was singled out in a Los Angeles Times story that included a photo of the "Inspiration" figure along with the model's name—the first time her name appeared in a newspaper. A few months later, Loy's "Inspiration" figure was temporarily removed from the sculpture group and transported aboard the battleship Nevada for a Memorial Day pageant in which "Miss Myrna Williams" participated. Fountain of Education can be seen in the opening scenes of the 1978 film Grease. After decades of exposure to the elements and vandalism, the original concrete statue was removed from display in 2002, and replaced in 2010 by a bronze duplicate paid for through an alumni-led fundraising campaign.

Loy left school at the age of 18 to begin to help with the family's finances. She obtained work at Grauman's Egyptian Theatre, where she performed in what were called prologues, elaborate musical sequences that were related to and served as preliminary entertainment before the feature film. During this period, Loy saw Eleonora Duse in the play Thy Will Be Done, and the simple acting techniques she employed made such an impact on Loy that she tried to emulate them throughout her career.

While Loy was dancing in prologues at the Grauman's Egyptian Theatre, portrait photographer Henry Waxman took several pictures of her that were noticed by Rudolph Valentino when the actor went to Waxman's studio for a sitting. Valentino was looking for a leading lady for Cobra, the first independent project he and his wife Natacha Rambova were producing. Loy tested for the role, which went to Gertrude Olmstead instead, but soon after she was hired as an extra for Pretty Ladies (1925), in which she and fellow newcomer Joan Crawford were among a bevy of chorus girls dangling from an elaborate chandelier.

Rambova hired Loy for a small but showy role opposite Nita Naldi in What Price Beauty?, a film she was producing. Shot in May 1925, the film remained unreleased for three years; but stills of Loy in her exotic makeup and costume appeared in Motion Picture magazine and led to a contract with Warner Bros. There, her surname was changed from Williams to Loy.

Loy's silent film roles were mainly as a vamp or femme fatale, and she frequently portrayed characters of Asian or Eurasian background in films such as Across the Pacific (1926), A Girl in Every Port (1928), The Crimson City (1928), The Black Watch (1929), and The Desert Song (1929), which she later recalled "kind of solidified my exotic non-American image." In 1930 she appeared in The Great Divide. It took years for her to overcome this stereotype, and as late as 1932, she was cast as a villainous Eurasian in Thirteen Women (1932). She also played, opposite Boris Karloff, the depraved sadistic daughter of the title character in The Mask of Fu Manchu (1932).

In 1932, Loy began dating producer Arthur Hornblow Jr., when he was still married to his wife, Juliette Crosby. Prior to that, Loy appeared in small roles in The Jazz Singer and a number of early lavish Technicolor musicals, including The Show of Shows, The Bride of the Regiment, and Under a Texas Moon. As a result, she became associated with musical roles, and when they began to lose favor with the public, her career went into a slump. In 1934, Loy appeared in Manhattan Melodrama with Clark Gable and William Powell. When gangster John Dillinger was shot to death after leaving a screening of the film at the Biograph Theater in Chicago, the film received widespread publicity, with some newspapers reporting that Loy had been Dillinger's favorite actress.

After appearing with Ramón Novarro in The Barbarian (1933), Loy was cast as Nora Charles in the 1934 film The Thin Man. Director W. S. Van Dyke chose Loy after he detected a wit and sense of humor that her previous films had not revealed. At a Hollywood party, he pushed her into a swimming pool to test her reaction, and felt that her aplomb in handling the situation was exactly what he envisioned for Nora. Louis B. Mayer at first refused to allow Loy to play the part because he felt she was a dramatic actress, but Van Dyke insisted. Mayer finally relented on the condition that filming be completed within three weeks, as Loy was committed to start filming Stamboul Quest. The Thin Man became one of the year's biggest hits, and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture. Loy received excellent reviews and was acclaimed for her comedic skills. Her costar William Powell and she proved to be a popular screen couple and appeared in 14 films together, one of the most prolific pairings in Hollywood history. Loy later referred to The Thin Man as the film "that finally made me ... after more than 80 films."

Her successes in Manhattan Melodrama and The Thin Man marked a turning point in her career, and she was cast in more important pictures. Such films as Wife vs. Secretary (1936) with Clark Gable and Jean Harlow, and Petticoat Fever (1936) with Robert Montgomery gave her opportunity to develop comedic skills. She made four films in close succession with William Powell: Libeled Lady (1936), which also starred Jean Harlow and Spencer Tracy; The Great Ziegfeld (1936), in which she played Billie Burke opposite Powell's Florenz Ziegfeld; the second Thin Man film, After the Thin Man (1936), with Powell and James Stewart; and the romantic comedy Double Wedding (1937). Loy married Arthur Hornblow in 1936 in-between filming the successive productions. She was later rumored to have had affairs with co-star Tracy between 1935 and 1936 while filming Whipsaw and Libeled Lady.

She also made three more films with Gable at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM): Parnell (1937) was a historical drama and one of the most poorly received films of either Loy's or Gable's career, but their other pairings in Test Pilot and Too Hot to Handle (both 1938) were successes. While working for MGM, Loy was outspoken about the studio's casting hierarchy, especially based on race, and was quoted as saying: "Why does every black person in the movies have to play a servant? How about a black person walking up the steps of a court house carrying a briefcase?"

During this period, Loy was one of Hollywood's busiest and highest-paid actresses, and in 1937 and 1938, she was listed in the annual "Quigley Poll of the Top Ten Money Making Stars," which was compiled from the votes of movie exhibitors throughout the United States for the stars who had generated the most revenue in their theaters over the previous year.

By the late 1930s, Loy was highly regarded for her performances in romantic comedies, and she was anxious to demonstrate her dramatic ability. She was cast in the lead female role in The Rains Came (1939) opposite Tyrone Power. She filmed Third Finger, Left Hand (1940) with Melvyn Douglas and appeared in I Love You Again (1940), Love Crazy (1941), and Shadow of the Thin Man (1941), all with William Powell.

On June 1, 1942, Loy divorced husband Hornblow in Reno, citing "mental cruelty" as the impetus for separating.[46] Five days after the divorce, she married John D. Hertz, Jr. an advertising executive and founder of Hertz Rent A Car, at his sister's home in New York City.[46] They remained married for two years, eventually divorcing in Cuernavaca, Mexico, on August 21, 1944, with Loy again citing mental cruelty.

With the outbreak of World War II the same year, Loy all but abandoned her acting career to focus on the war effort and began devoting her time working with the Red Cross.[48] She was so fiercely outspoken against Adolf Hitler that her name appeared on his blacklist, resulting in her films being banned in Germany.[49] She also helped run a Naval Auxiliary canteen and toured frequently to raise funds for the war efforts. Around 1945, Loy began dating producer and screenwriter Gene Markey, who had previously been married to actresses Joan Bennett and Hedy Lamarr.[46] The two were married in a private ceremony on January 3, 1946, at the chapel on Terminal Island, while Markey was serving in the military.

She returned to films with The Thin Man Goes Home (1945). In 1946, she played the wife of returning serviceman Fredric March in The Best Years of Our Lives (1946). Loy was paired with Cary Grant in David O. Selznick's The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer (1947). The film co-starred a teenaged Shirley Temple. Following its success, she appeared again with Grant in Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House (1948).

In 1950, Loy co-starred with Clifton Webb in Cheaper by the Dozen (1950), which was a box-office hit, grossing $4.4 million in the United States. The same year, she divorced Markey. Her fourth and final husband was Howland H. Sargeant, U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Public Affairs and president of Radio Liberty, whom she married on June 2, 1951, in Fort Myer, Virginia. Sargeant, a Presbyterian, wanted the marriage officiated in the church, but they were unable to do so due to Loy's recent divorce.

Throughout the 1950s, Loy assumed an influential role as co-chairman of the Advisory Council of the National Committee Against Discrimination in Housing. In 1948, she had become a member of the U.S. National Commission for UNESCO, the first Hollywood celebrity to do so. In 1952, she starred in the Cheaper by the Dozen sequel, Belles on Their Toes. In 1956, she appeared in The Ambassador's Daughter along with John Forsythe and Olivia de Havilland. She played opposite Montgomery Clift and Robert Ryan in Lonelyhearts (1958), Dore Schary's adaptation of Nathanael West's classic 1933 novel Miss Lonelyhearts. In 1960, she appeared in Midnight Lace and From the Terrace, but was not in another film until 1969 in The April Fools. In 1965, Loy won the Sarah Siddons Award for her work in Chicago theatre. Loy, a lifelong Democrat, publicly supported the election of John F. Kennedy in 1960.

After divorcing her fourth husband Sargeant in 1960, Loy relocated to 23 East 74th Street in Manhattan's Upper East Side. She later lived at 425 East 63rd Street. In 1967, she was cast in the television series The Virginian, appearing in an episode titled "Lady of the House". In 1972, she appeared as the suspect's mother-in-law in an episode of the television series Columbo titled "Etude in Black". In 1974, she had a supporting part in Airport 1975 playing Mrs. Devaney, a heavy-drinking woman imbibing Jim Beam and Olympia Beer mixed together; a foil to the character played by Sid Caesar. In 1975, Loy was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent two mastectomies to treat the disease. She kept her cancer diagnosis and subsequent treatment from the public until the publication of her autobiography in 1987.

In 1978, she appeared in the film The End as the mother of the main character played by Burt Reynolds. Her last motion picture performance was in 1980 in Sidney Lumet's Just Tell Me What You Want. She also returned to the stage, making her Broadway debut in a short-lived 1973 revival of Clare Boothe Luce's The Women. She toured in a 1978 production of Alan Ayckbourn's Relatively Speaking, directed by David Clayton.

In 1981, she appeared in the television drama Summer Solstice, which was Henry Fonda's last performance. Her last acting role was a guest spot on the sitcom Love, Sidney, in 1982.

Her autobiography, Myrna Loy: Being and Becoming, was published in 1987. The following year, she received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Kennedy Center. Although Loy was never nominated for an Academy Award for any single performance, after an extensive letter-writing campaign and years of lobbying by screenwriter and then-Writers Guild of America, West board member Michael Russnow, who enlisted the support of Loy's former screen colleagues and friends such as Roddy McDowall, Sidney Sheldon, Harold Russell, and many others, she received a 1991 Academy Honorary Award "for her career achievement". She accepted via camera from her New York City home, simply stating, "You've made me very happy. Thank you very much." It was her last public appearance in any medium.

Loy died at age 88 on December 14, 1993, at Lenox Hill Hospital in Manhattan during a surgery following a long, unspecified illness. She had been frail and in failing health, which had resulted in her being unable to attend the 1991 Academy Awards ceremony, where she was to receive a lifetime achievement Oscar. She was cremated in New York and her ashes interred at Forestvale Cemetery in her native Helena, Montana.

Act III — Chapter 3

June 2017

Looking down on the placid lake, Owen felt relaxed for the first time in months. Years, maybe. No, that wasn't fair to her. Dammit, why was Claire always near the forefront of his consciousness? His current setting was far removed from her. They'd never camped in Northern California. There were no memories of her in the Sierra Nevadas. Hell, there weren't even any pictures of them hanging in the van anymore. Those mementos had all been taken into her condo.

He still wondered if she'd destroyed them when she'd collected and boxed up all of his belongings after he'd left. They hadn't been amongst his things. And not that he'd ever admit it aloud, but his wish (his fervent hope) was that she kept them for herself. Keepsakes in a drawer somewhere. After all, hadn't he sifted through the trash for every last glow star he'd torn down and shoved them into the back of a cupboard in the van for the same reason? At least he hadn't rehung them. That would've been truly pathetic.

Owen deeply inhaled the mountain air, cool and crisp despite it being June. The noise, smog, and general bustle of the city hadn't followed him up there even if he couldn't escape his thoughts of Claire. When Lowery had mentioned his old family friend's plot of land as a way to get off the grid while staying in one place, Owen had jumped at the opportunity. It was a perfect compromise. He was tired of driving aimlessly — no, strike that, what he was actually tired of driving without, was Claire. His aim for the last nine months had been to get away from her. But staying on the road had only reminded him that he missed her companionship. And staying in San Diego had lasted less than a month, as keeping himself busy doing odds and ends at Lowery and Andrea's cottage had felt more like stalling than anything else.

While the engaged couple certainly appreciated their new solar panels, they had recognized evasion as well as Owen had. It was clear to everyone that he never had any serious intention to settle in San Diego, either with Claire or anyone else (least of all by himself). After returning from Mexico, it took only a few days for Owen to conclude (again) that the city would never feel like home. There were too many memories there of his former life, both in terms of InGen and his failed relationship.

A second failed relationship. He hadn't been able to stay anywhere that reminded him of Susan, so why would it be any different with Claire? Maybe he had a problem with grudges or letting go. That wasn't something flattering on which he wanted to ruminate. It also reminded him of the photos on his phone that he couldn't bring himself to delete. At least his work for Lowery and Andrea had earned him a reputation for being a "green tech handyman" amongst their extended families and co-workers. Springtime had brought him multiple jobs from La Jolla to Oceanside.

As May ended, however, Owen was feeling restless. His work had only partially obliterated Claire's assertion of his living like a bum. He was still in the van, after all, and anxious about accidentally running into Claire if he accepted jobs in the city proper. His reason for returning to California had been to move forward. Instead, it felt like he was merely treading water. Lowery and Andrea had commented on him appearing worked up about it all — the polar opposite of getting settled — and while they would've liked him to stay local, they'd reluctantly accepted that it wasn't likely. It was then that Lowery had mentioned the undeveloped lot.

The issue of antibody disappearance, the key to "immune passport" is "T cell"

The issue of antibody disappearance, the key to "immune passport" is "T cell"

T cells thought to hold the key to improving resistance to new coronavirus (Photo: Agence Phanie / Afro)

■The road to obtaining an "immune passport"

In Japan, the number of new cases of new coronavirus is increasing again, and the arrival of the second wave is pointed out. The “Go To Campaign,” which the government has squeezed out to support travel in Japan and stimulate tourism demand, also raises concerns that it may spread the infection nationwide.

People who were not infected with the new Corona also reacted to the proteins of the new Corona. This may be the reason why some people are resistant to corona uninfected

If an infected person moves unknowingly and comes into contact with someone who has not been exposed to the virus, the virus may easily be transmitted. One of the factors behind such anxiety may be that many people are considered to be immune to infectious diseases. The World Health Organization (WHO) and others have introduced "immune passports" that give people with antibodies freedom of movement. Behind this is the idea that it may be difficult to recognize people's freedom of movement before they are resistant to infection.

"Vaccine" is a much-needed answer to the immune passport. Although it has been introduced in many articles and the author has continued to report, AstraZeneca, which is a joint vaccine development with Oxford University in the United States, is being conducted in Japan by Angers, a venture company from Osaka University, who is conducting clinical trials of DNA vaccines. Was reportedly aimed at early approval. According to a joint meeting held by the Komeito on July 17, the number of infected people in Japan is ironically too few to check the safety of the vaccine, and it is a direction to use foreign data for approval.

A glance at foreign papers reveals that the way to perceive virus immunity is at a global turning point. The author has touched on the findings of animal coronaviruses, and considers immunity to the new coronavirus based on the latest research.

■ T cells that are responsible for the attack of human bullets are one of the hopes

Recently, many studies have been published on the immunity of the new coronavirus. Many people may know it because it was reported in Japan, but on July 11, it was reported that the "antibody" for resistance to the new coronavirus may disappear in a short period of time. .. It was a research result that antibodies that are thought to lead to resistance to viruses did not last unexpectedly, and shocked the world.

It was published as a pre-refereed paper by a research group at King's College London in the UK, and as a result of analysis, the number of antibodies increased at the beginning of symptoms, but decreased in about one month, and then some people became undetectable. I calculated. If the antibody disappears, it can be infected again. It is common to the common cold that one of the causes is a virus of the coronavirus family, and the paper makes a funny point. Since it would be more difficult to deal with the new coronavirus, it was taken with a tragic feeling.

While the fragility of such "antibodies" is exposed, it is another form of immunity called "T cells" that illuminates the light in the dark.

To borrow the easy-to-understand expression from the cartoon "Working Cell" (Akane Shimizu, Kodansha) that depicts cells in the body, there are "bazooka cannon" and "flesh bullet attack" in immunity. The bazooka cannon is an antibody, and the human bullet attack is cell-mediated immunity that kills foreign enemies including killer T cells.

While there is now concern that the bazooka can be shot out quickly, the results of a study showed that T cells, which are responsible for the flesh bullet attack, last longer and are indispensable for raising the resistance to the new coronavirus. Are continuing.

■Why uninfected people have resistance to viruses

On July 15, an interesting research result for the new corona control was reported in a paper in the well-known science journal "Nature". In contrast to the "antibody disappearance" research results we saw earlier, it is a discovery related to T cells that are maintained for a long time. The mechanism of immunity may be complicated, but I will introduce it because it is important when considering future solutions.

The research group of the Singapore Agency for Science and Technology Research, who made the research report, may be called an "obsessed researcher." This is because it is a group that has continuously verified the actual conditions of immunity to coronavirus, including SARS that became popular in Hong Kong in 2003.

In 2016, the group published results of a study investigating the immunity of healers 11 years after the SARS epidemic. They found that "antibody T cells," which are one of the cells responsible for flesh attack, last for a long time, even though the antibody disappears early, and that they can respond to SARS over 10 years ago. It is epoch-making in considering the actual condition of immunity to coronavirus, and has been cited many times in other studies in the current pandemic.

In July, a new study they showed was that surprisingly, people who have never been infected with the new coronavirus or SARS often have memory T cells that can respond to the new coronavirus. Hit

Even in Japan, if you have been infected with a related virus, "cross-immunity", which is resistant to other viruses, has become a hot topic. A relationship with a coronavirus that causes a cold is pointed out. However, what interestingly emerged from the research in Singapore was not the human coronavirus, but rather the coronavirus of animals.

■ Some people with SARS recovery who have maintained their immune system for nearly 17 years

In addition to 36 people who recovered from the new coronavirus, 23 people who had recovered from SARS in the past and 37 people who did not have any infectious disease (we did not contact infected people) ).

First, when looking at people who recovered after being infected with the new coronavirus or SARS, it was confirmed that all of them were immune to the protein (NP) called "nucleocapsid" of the new coronavirus. It is reacting to the main parts that make up the body of the virus. Next, 5 out of 36 people who recovered from the new coronavirus and 2 out of 23 people who recovered from SARS responded to the protein (NSP7, NSP13) for gene amplification of the new coronavirus. It is estimated that those who recovered from the infection with SARS maintained their immunity for about 17 years from around 2003 when the epidemic actually occurred. Since the proteins possessed by the novel coronavirus and the SARS virus are similar, it means that the elicited immunity was common.

What was always surprising was the result with uninfected people. That's because 19 out of 37 people were found to respond to the proteins of the new coronavirus. Among them, T cells responding only to the proteins for gene amplification (NSP7, NSP13), which were not found in those who recovered from the new coronavirus or those who recovered from SARS, were also confirmed in 8 people. It was considered that the protein for gene multiplication is a part that is commonly present not only in new coronaviruses and SARS but also in broad beta coronavirus genus including new coronaviruses and SARS.

What the research group doubted as the background is the involvement of "cross immunity." A group of researchers found that proteins for gene amplification (NSP7, NSP13) were less relevant in the beta-coronavirus genus that causes human colds, and that was not the reason. Rather, it is presumed that the viruses that have been contacted in the past belong to the genus Beta-coronavirus of animals other than humans as described above. As I pointed out in a previous article, there are types of beta-coronavirus genus that are unique to multiple animals, including cattle, horses, pigs, mice, and bats. There may be an answer there.

In May going back from this study, a group at the La Jolla Immunology Institute in the United States also reported that individuals who were not infected with the novel coronavirus had T cells that could respond to the novel coronavirus. At this time, he suspected a coronavirus that causes a cold, but based on the research conducted in Singapore, it may be an animal. Further verification is needed there.

In any case, the point that can be pointed out, again, is the fact that, in contrast to antibodies, when looking at T cells, "traces of infection" persist. It is symbolic that immunity was maintained for about 17 years in SARS-recovered persons, and it seems significant that T cells were maintained for a long period of time even without infection.

Although it is unknown how they protect themselves from viruses, it is possible that these T cells may lead to an immune passport. There is a slight glimpse here as we consider the path to control the new coronavirus.

■ Considering the presence or absence of T cells

On July 17, a research group at Imperial College London in the UK based on previous research results in "Science Immunity", "In the early pandemic, we found a possibility of diagnosis and cure in antibody data" However, it became clear that we needed T-cell data so that we could see the whole picture of the infectious disease."

Among these, he points out the possibility of a test to measure T cells corresponding to the novel coronavirus in diagnosis. In tuberculosis, there is a test called "quantiferon" that measures T cells. Furthermore, it is important to pay attention to T cells during diagnosis and vaccine development.

On the other hand, overconfidence is also prohibited, the group sees. He pointed out that it is necessary to verify whether the new coronavirus can be blocked by the increase in T cells. There is also an increase in T cells, not in critically ill patients, which may have a negative effect on the disease. There are possibilities that the advantages and disadvantages will be determined by the T cells of multiple types.

As I wrote in the previous article, I think that the potential of cell therapy can be opened up by making good use of such differences. In Japan, Terra and Rohto Pharmaceutical are just starting out. The minimum explanation would be that it is necessary to develop a strategy for virus suppression that is more conscious of T cells, which had been a day-to-day existence.

Antibodies pointed out to disappear in a short period of time still have the potential. On July 15th, in a well-known scientific journal "Nature", a research group including Vanderbilt University in the United States found that a single type of molecular structure of an antibody (called a monoclonal antibody) is a new coronavirus. It has been reported from the results of animal experiments that the infectivity of A. can be successfully suppressed. Antibodies do not have dissimilar structures, and if they have the same properties, the effectiveness in controlling viruses will be enhanced.

There are many problems to be solved such as how to make antibodies and how to maintain them. As pointed out in previous articles, it is also important to prevent the harmful effects of "antibody-dependent infection enhancement (ADE)" that exacerbates infectious diseases.

When it comes to immunity, there is a tendency for people to focus on antibodies, but looking at the latest research, it seems that T cells are at the same level as important. It is also related to the realization of an immune passport. It is not common now, but it will be necessary to consider generalizing the mechanism that can test T cells.

Family Trip by jamesx // Being a daddy for two very young kids while having two jobs is nothing easy for a landscape photographer. I only have a few days in a year to be able to get out and do some photos alone. Most of the time, I'm tied up with everything in life. There are however some very rare opportunities when I can get out with my entire family for fun and a nice beach is also near by for photos. Here is one from the last Christmas in San Diego with my family. My kids had so much fun in the Legoland and I had so much fun by the La Jolla beach. Enjoy!

“Our Little girl is finally home”: Priyanka Chopra shares her daughter’s pic!!!

This Year, in January, Priyanka Chopra and her husband Nick Jonas welcomed their daughter via surrogacy. On 8th May, the occasion of Mother’s day, Priyanka Chopra shares the first photo of her daughter Malti Marie Chopra Jonas. In this picture, she can be seen with her singer and songwriter husband Nick Jonas while holding her baby girl. Along with this picture, she also penned a long note sharing that their little girl is finally home as she spends more than 100 days in the NICU (neonatal intensive care unit).

She writes “On this mother’s day we can’t help out but reflect on these last few months and the rollercoaster we’ve been on, which we now know, so many people have also experienced. After 100 plus days in the NICU, the out little girl is finally home. Every family’s journey is unique and requires a certain level of faith, and while ours was a challenging few months, what becomes abundantly clear, in retrospect, is how precious and perfect every moment is”.  She also thanks to the doctors and nurses at the hospital for taking care of her little one.

In her note, she further added, “We are overjoyed that our little girl is finally home and just want to thank every doctor, nurse, and a specialist at Rady Children’s La Jolla and Cedar Sinai, Los Angeles who were there selflessly every step of the way. Out next chapter begins now, and our baby is truly a badass. Let’s get it MM! Mommy and Daddy love you”.

When Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas welcome their baby girl into the world via surrogacy, she has announced this new edition to their family with a post that reads “We are overjoyed to confirm we have welcomed a new baby girl via surrogate”.

Meanwhile, both actors dated each other for a few months and finally tie a knot in December 2018.

DIA DE LOS MUERTOS. The Día de Muertos, the Day of the Dead, is not a Mexican version of Halloween. Although the two holidays are related and around the same time, they are very different in their traditions and atmosphere. Halloween is usually considered a dark night filled with horror, while the Día de los Muertos extends over three days in an exposition of color and life-affirming joy. Of course, the theme is death, but the whole purpose is to show ones love and respect for deceased family members.

The Día de Muertos came up several thousand years ago in the cultures of the Aztecs, Toltecs and other peoples who found the mourning of their dead disrespectful. For these pre-Hispanic cultures, death was a natural phase in the long continuum of life (Universia, 2015). The dead were still considered members of the community and were kept alive in spirit and memory.  Today, the Día de los Muertos celebrations seem to be a mixture of pre-Hispanic and Christian celebrations.

The rituals are full of symbolism such as the Heart of the Celebration, the Altar or Ofrenda, which is set up either at home or in a cemetery. But these altars are not for worship, they are to welcome the spirits of the dead into the realm of the living. Therefore, they are richly endowed with gifts; water to quench the thirst of the long journey, food, family photos and a candle for each dead relative.

One of the most important features is the marigold, which are the most popular flowers to decorate the altar (La Jolla Mom, 2018). The flowers that are scattered from the altar to the tomb are meant to guide the wandering souls back to their resting place. Also, I was told by people at the cemetery, the smoke from the smoke candles, which are made of tree resin, are supposed to transmit praise and prayer and clean the area around the altar.

The Día de Muertos is a very hospitable event, which also involves parades on the streets. Dressing up and painting the face as a skeleton is traditionally seen as part of the fun.
