violet_brinson: How do you say goodbye to something that has changed your life? 4 years of Walker has impacted me immeasurably. The family that this show has built, the work of the best crew in Texas, the laughter and the tears will stay with me forever. Saying goodbye to Stella Walker feels like saying goodbye to a piece of myself I didn’t even know I had. Her boldness, her brazenness, her heartbreaking mistakes and flaws fueled by hurt, grief, and a ravenous love for her family. Thank you @awfricke and all the writers of @thecwwalker who created such a beautiful character that I got to walk around in for a short 4 years. I’m taking her with me. I’m so thankful for everybody who worked so hard on this show. The crew inspired me to show up at my best every single day and the cast… You were always a rambunctious group filled with love and joy, you came prepared and ready to work and you inspired me with your performances. The true humanness of your work made me laugh and cry, (sometimes at the same time.) you captivated me, constantly. I love you all so much. I’m so thankful to the people who watched this show and made it part of their family just as the Walker family brought me into their own. Tonight is the series finale. Saying goodbye is hard, but only because we had something worth saying goodbye to ♥️

Anson Mount on theatre roles he'd like to play

When Anson was at Dragon Con in September 2022 promoting Star Trek: Stange New Worlds, a fan in the audience asked him what theatre roles he's always wanted to play.

Anson mentioned Hamlet by William Shakespeare, Uncle Vanya by Anton Chekhov (the role of Mikhail Lvovich Astrov, a country doctor), and The Changeling by Thomas Middleton and William Rowley (the role of De Flores, servant to Vermandero). The fan also brought up Shakespeare's Macbeth and Anson said he's played the role of Malcolm (Elder son of Duncan, king of Scotland) before.

In 2020 Anson played Uncle Vanya's Dr. Astrov in a virtual theatre production of the play (gifs here and here).

Uncle Vanya portrays the visit of an elderly professor and his glamorous, much younger second wife, Yelena, to the rural estate that supports their urban lifestyle. Two friends - Vanya, brother of the professor’s late first wife, who has long managed the estate, and Astrov, the local doctor - both fall under Yelena’s spell, while bemoaning the ennui of their provincial existence.

The Changeling is about young Beatrice who is in love with a visiting nobleman, Alsemero. However, her father has already arranged her marriage to Alonzo, another nobleman. Desperate to be with her love, Beatrice enlists the help of De Flores, a cunning but ugly servant, a deceptive man obsessed with her and determined to claim her virtue. While she initially resists him, Beatrice is drawn into lustful complicity with De Flores, and together they set in motion a chain of love, lust, madness, and death.

Shugborough Hall, Great Haywood, Staffordshire, UK

ian kelsall

Home to the Anson family since 1624, it was once described as ‘a perfect paradise’. Visit this important piece of Staffordshire's heritage for a full day of discoveries.

The stories of Shugborough are entangled with the exploits and interests of two brothers, Thomas and George Anson. Their fortunes and their social position shaped Shugborough; understanding the origins of their power helps us to interpret the ideas and materials which flooded into Britain throughout the 18th century, furnishing homes, forging fashions and changing culture.

Anti-opioid activists and public health officials have long argued that opioid “overprescribing” fueled the overdose crisis in the United States, causing drug deaths to surge to record levels.

“This rise is directly correlated with increased prescribing for chronic pain,” Dr. Jane Ballantyne, then-president of Physicians for Responsible Opioid Prescribing (PROP), wrote in a 2015 letter to the National Institutes of Health.

That claim was repeated the following year by then-CDC director Dr. Thomas Frieden when the agency released its controversial opioid guideline. “Overprescribing opioids – largely for chronic pain – is a key driver of America’s drug overdose epidemic,” Frieden said in a news release.

But a new analysis debunks the overprescribing myth, finding the “direct correlations” cited by Frieden, Ballantyne and others are no longer valid, if they ever were.

In a study recently published in Frontiers of Pain Research, independent researchers Larry Aubry and B. Thomas Carr examined opioid prescribing trends and overdose deaths from 2010 to 2019, using the same data sources that the CDC guideline is based on.

“The direct correlations used to justify the CDC guideline… are no longer present,” they reported.

Aubry and Carr found that opioid prescribing, when measured in morphine milligram equivalents (MME), was in steep decline years before the guideline was even released. That trend accelerated even further when regulators, insurers and healthcare providers started following the CDC’s recommendations.

If the overprescribing theory were true, you would expect drug deaths to go down as opioid sales did. But in subsequent years, overdoses linked to prescription opioids stayed flat and drug deaths surged even higher. In research terms, that is known as a “negative correlation” -- a trend not supported by facts. (Read more at link)
