I was not familiar with her post Magnum career, I didn't watch many of those shows listed but lately have felt I missed out on Tales of the Gold Monkey, I need to try and track that down.Marta is an actress and she lives a crazy busy live. These were important memories for our lives and their passing's hit unexpectedly sometimes. It's great when "new blood" joins the forum! I appreciate your feelings towards Marta and I get it. She's being targeted by her mad bomber psycho husband played by Ed O'Ross. I first saw her in an episode of WALKER TEXAS RANGER called "Blown Apart" from 1995. She's a major reason why "Memories are Forever" is pretty much tied with "Did You See the Sunrise" as my favorite MPI episode. ![]() Big fan of hers as well! Marta DuBois was very striking (actually mesmerizing) as Michelle and it's easy to see why Magnum fell so hard for her. RIP Marta, you will always be missed, but never forgotten. So much that I would like to say about Marta, but I will leave it at that. Very glad to hear that Michelle was her favourite role. And she is still a knockout at 50 plus.Īnd I would like to thank you guys for those interview links. You get to see her 20 years after Magnum. I was very happy to see that she did the McBride TV movies, 10 of them. Plus there is Star Trek TNG, and some other parts. Just watched the pilot of " Tales of the Gold Monkey" and one of her McBride movies. I really only have ever known her as Michelle, but am going to check out her other bodies of work in TV and film. On a positive note, it just makes me appreciate what we do have of her. It is strange that news of her death has made me feel this sad and somewhat depressed. And clearly it is having an impact right now. It's not like I am obsessed or anything, although I did just join this site, lol, but her character Michelle made a big impact on me, going back 40 years now. And to be perfectly honest, it has hit me pretty hard for some reason ? I just looked her up on imdb a couple of days ago, and found out that she died suddenly in May 2018. It looks like the clip above is part of the larger interview you were referencing.īrand new guy here, and unfortunately some of my very first posts are about the sudden death of Marta Dubois. I started looking around and came across these. I hope she was happy in her last years, and I hope she has atleast planted some good seed in the aspiring actors that found their way to the wokshop. It was a heavy conversation more about keeping the faith in a difficult career choice, suffering loss, and getting back to a place of peace and joy. It should be pretty easy to find again if interested. She also mentioned having a conversation with Stacy Keach during some downtime on a set, and that they had a discussion about PEDs in sports, cutting corners to succeed, along those lines. do I really need to say she said Michelle was it. Two bits I thought were kinda cool and stood out, She was asked something to the affect - what was your favorite role or favorite experience as an actor working on a set. this interview was 2013, before the MeToo movement. The conversation was really and mostly about her work in her husband's actors workshop, training young actors to remain moral and not to sellout and do something they would later regret simply to get a part. Marta was really shaken by his passing and she said it was what drove her back to the religion of her youth, she was raised Catholic. She said a number of times she had lost her husband Sal 6 years ago, he died in 2007. Interestingly, I had recently listened to the audio of what I think was a Skype conversation with Marta from around 2013. The Sal Dano Actors Workshop was his, or was started in his name or honor. Neither IMDB or Wikipedia made mention of her marriage to Sal Dano, I believe his given name was Salvatore Giardano, I'm sure I've got the spelling wrong.

The most commonly accepted explanation for the Blue Bunker Hill Flag is that it was the result of an error made by someone who was creating flag charts hundreds of years ago, whereby, they incorrectly filled in the Flag of New England with a blue background instead of red. The red flag shown is similar to the New England Flag. A red flag with a white canton that is similar to the Bunker Hill Flag except in red was featured in one of the paintings. His most famous paintings of the Battle of Bunker Hill include several flags, however, none of the depictions show the Blue Bunker Hill Flag, and moreover, the flags that are depicted have been found to be historically inaccurate, so it seems that the artist may not have paid careful attention to the historical accuracy of the flags featured. He painted scenes from the Battle of Bunker Hill from his memory, which are the most accurate visual historical record of the battle. John Trumbull, a soldier in the Continental Army who witnessed the Battle of Bunker Hill, painted a series of famous paintings entitled, "The Death of General Warren at the Battle of Bunker's Hill, June 17, 1775."

Once a client’s information is entered, the application automatically calculates their risk of progressing to end-stage kidney disease using the Kidney Failure Risk Equation. Client consents, demographic information, and clinical data are entered at the point of care onto an iPad using a secure, customized application designed specifically for Kidney Check. An additional blood sample (100 μL) is collected to analyze for hemoglobin A 1c and a urine sample is provided to determine the albumin-to-creatinine ratio on a DCA Vantage analyzer (Siemens, Erlangen, Germany). Pediatric Kidney Check screening process.įollowing registration, clients are brought to a designated screening area where a finger prick droplet sample (100 μL) is collected and analyzed for creatinine on an i-STAT Alinity analyzer (Abbott Point of Care Inc., Princeton, NJ). As an affiliate of the CanSOLVE CKD network, members of all committees within Kidney Check have linkages to the broader network. Stationed in various communities across the country, the team’s primary aim is to accommodate high throughput while maintaining quality control (QC) standards. Screening teams operate under the auspices of the Diabetes Integration Project and First Nations Health and Social Secretariat of Manitoba (FNHSSM). They are supported by the patient partner committee that oversees the execution of knowledge translation activities including but not limited to community selection criteria, community engagement procedures, and review of communication materials and strategies. Largely composed of Indigenous stakeholders and closely affiliated with the CanSOLVE CKD Indigenous People’s Engagement Council (IPERC), the advisory committee provides valuable insight on how to best use engagement strategies to maximize participation in the screening event. This includes working closely with the advisory committee to preemptively identify potential barriers and risk issues in order to develop efficient mitigation strategies. Leadership provides guidance to the provincial teams to ensure the appropriate objectives, processes, and tools are in place to support high-functioning groups. Kidney Check’s management structure consists of the leadership team, advisory committee, patient partner committee, and mobile screening teams. The intent of this manuscript is to describe the development process of all procedures and components related to the deployment of the Kidney Check program with specific focus on organizational structure, point-of-care testing devices, and data management. To ensure the efficacy and sustainability of the program, Kidney Check relies on a strategic quality management system that addresses all aspects of the screening process.

Indigenous peoples often endure significant health disparities fueled by historic and ongoing marginalizing policies and practices. ![]() |
