How you found out about us: Transferring from Rev.
Detailed appearance: Quinn is androgynous and on the angled slender side, and has some defining muscle due to vigorous martial arts and combat training. Quinn is tall, six-four or so, and quite graceful with long legs and neck, with tapered, elegant fingers. He has an oval-square shape to his face with a wide narrow nose and eyebrows not too masculine, but not quite feminine either. There is a good spanse of forehead and a rounded but softly dimpled chin, with full and shapely lips. He is a bit pale, and his hair can lighten or darken depending on season and climate in general, and sometimes he will grow his hair out or cut it shorter. He usually likes it long enough to style, and straight for the most part. Quinn has tri-color brown eyes in wide-almond shape that might remind someone of a tiger-eye gemstone. The polished metallic golden kind that starts with the gleaming shine of a pale bright gold-yellow, then a bold, hearty gold-brown followed by a dark, warm, woodsy golden. These eyes are often quite expressive.
Quinn has some tattoos in body art, and greenish rune symbols tattooed along the back left side of his neck along the spine that has faded to barely visable. Faint small aqua pinprick scars are scattered over his left side, lower neck and shoulder, chest. There is a brand at his inner right thigh. A faded greenish rune symbol on his right shoulder. He has a bite scarring under his ribcage on the left side, and a feather burn above his left hip. A scar through his right hand. A bite scar over the curve of his left shoulderblade. He has a *black gryphon tattoo on his inner left wrist; it tingles when his chosen prey is nearby.
Age: 3,170
Ethnicity: Irish
Gender: Male
Sexual orientation: Polyamorous Panromantic Homosexual
Religion: Disdainful of most deities.
From Rev --
Joining in at Level Seven to regain level eight after a ren quest*
SHAPESHIFT (Ability; Cheetah form)
As a cheetah, Quinn is not the normal golden tan one might imagine when thinking of the large cat. Instead, his fur is a pale gray color, classified naturally as maltesed. He does have the darker spots as most cheetahs might, of course. Quinn is somewhat larger than most male cheetahs, gaining size more along the lines of a tiger but fully cheetah-bodied. He is lithe, curvy, streamlined with long legs and a slender body. His tail is quite long and flexible, and his face is expressive with eyes of the same color as in human form. Overall, he is as predatory and dangerous looking as any large, wild cat might appear to most.
HALF-SHIFT (Ability)
Tarquin can shift half-way into his animal form, choosing what physical parts of his person shifts and what does not. This half-shift is temporary and can only be maintained for up to three hours with resting intervals in-between.
ADDICTIVE BLOOD (Ability)
Tarquin's blood has a unique, distinct flavor to those who consume it. Not only is this flavor usually pleasant, but it can easily become addictive under the right circumstances. His blood may also produce a "high" or have an intoxicating effect on the drinker. He may have the ability to control these effects - whether or not it is addictive and whether or not it provides the intoxicating effects - at will.
ATHLETIC (Ability)
Tarquin's body is in prime shape. He is strong and has great endurance, stamina; he is generally in better health than a normal human. He is also less likely to become ill.
PHYSICAL STRENGTH (Ability)
Tarquin can grip, push, lift and exert himself up to three times the normal human limit.
INDOMITABLE WILL (Ability)
Tarquin possesses a will that is more powerful than the average person. This means he's practically immune to both magical and normal coercion, and may be able to resist (or even ignore) spells effecting his mental state.
SUPER SPEED (Ability)
Tarquin is capable of moving at extreme speeds, so quickly as to appear as a mere blur for color. As one can imagine, this generates quite a lot of kinetic energy, and being run into by him at this speed doesn't feel particularly good.
SUPERB EQUILIBRIUM (Ability)
Tarquin possesses an extremely well developed sense of balance. This allows him to always perfectly position his limbs and maintain his center of balance at all times. He is almost impossible to knock down, rarely falls, and is able to recover from momentary imbalances nearly instantly!
VAMPIRE I & II (Ability)
While not a "true" vampire, Tarquin has the ability to gain sustenance by imbibing blood; this can be the blood of others or himself! He can also heal himself by imbibing blood.
BLOOD MEMORY I (Ability)
Others can access Tarquin's memories by ingesting his blood! This can be done directly from a wound, or he can will the memory to attach to blood poured into a vessel. Some with this ability may be able to control how long the blood contains the memory, and/or prevent the memories from being passed on, at will.
BLOOD MEMORY II (Ability)
Tarquin can access the memories of another person by ingesting their blood. This works best with fresh blood, but even dried blood may contain some fragments of memory.
WINGS (Ability)
Tarquin has developed bat-like wings which will show themselves after he has imbibed blood using his Vampire traits!
TERRIBLE VISAGE (Ability)
After receiving a contract, Tarquin can manifest his appearance to be that person's worst nightmare; this works best in secluded areas (since the victim will no doubt cause quite a fuss!), but can be activated and deactivated at will. Tarquin may also be able to manifest in this manner towards others, however, the effect will be strongest against those he has been contracted to kill!
CHANGE HAIR (Appearance Alteration)
Tarquin can change his hair from its normal hue to lavender and back at will!
SENSE PREY (Tattoo)
Tarquin's black gryphon tattoo will tingle when his chosen prey is nearby.
EARTHSHAKER (Inventory Item)
Tarquin can shake the earth at will for specific people, affecting up to three at once. It is a golden gemstone that fell out of Bhu's eyesocket upon her death; if you look closely, you can still see flames flickering inside. This eye loans Tarquin Bhu's ability to shake the earth at will, but with a twist. Tarquin can make the ground tremble for specific people, affecting up to three at once. This means that they will experience all the unsettling effects of the ground moving around under them (like loss of stability), without anyone else nearby noticing or feeling it!
*swapping out Divine Shard for Phoenix Physiology, approved by Aspelta via email.
Quinn has or can take on all the aspects of a phoenix. He has a phoenix form (black throated magpie-jay of various sizes), and he also has the healing tears and ability to rebirth (though this can go terribly wrong).
*taking Fire Manipulation & Healing for the two abilities not chosen in Rev.
Armor (Custom Armor)
Form fitting barbarian armor; made for not only defense, but mobility and agility in battle. Made up of assorted leathers and the smaller scales from a dragon.
Cloak (Shrouded Cloak)
This cloak will turn Tarquin into smoke, fog, or liquid to help him sneak through those pesky cracks! The cloak is charcoal in color and looks rather gross with loads of holes, no one would want it unless they knew how special it was!
Worth: Invaluable; Tradable? No (graduation item)
Gem (Warmth Gem)
An amethyst gem carved into a tiny rose that's embedded in Quinn's upper ear cartilage. This gem can be "activated" to produce warmth, meaning that Tarquin can stay comfortable even in areas where a fire would not be wise, or cold, meaning that Tarquin can stay cool in hot areas.
Necklace (Illusion Pendant)
This pendant and wire-like thread it is suspended from are almost completely transparent; when laying against Quinn's flesh it makes that patch of skin a bit "foggy" or distorted (in other words, don't set this down somewhere silly, Quinn, or you'll never find it again! ;]). This pendant will allow Tarquin to temporarily change or disguise his appearance up to an hour a day. For example, this would allow Tarquin to temporarily take the guise of a woman, or to become a shadow!
Weapons (Paired Katanas)
The first katana is composed of a soft white metal (it seems almost insubstantial, like mist) and can be used to strike quickly, causing wounds without pain. The second is composed of dense black metal and moves more slowly; this katana heals minor wounds on Quinn after absorbing the blood of his enemies!
Machine (Mechanical Crow)
This creature looks like a normal crow, but has wings tipped in silver. This crow can scout fly ahead and gather information for Tarquin; it builds a sort of mental map, marking what it sees, what direction it is moving in, etc. and then sending the whole "package" back to Tarquin. His crow is currently in a "blank slate" state, meaning it has no obvious personality and relays everything - not just the stuff Tarquin would be interested in. Over time, Tarquin and the crow will get to know each other, allowing it to develop its own unique personality (how this manifests is up to Cas!) and understand Tarquin's needs/wants/commands better.
Kit (Needs Kit)
A small, nondescript black bag. While not much to look at on the outside, this bag actually has a lot to offer! Not only does it work like Hermione's bag in Harry Potter, allowing Tarquin to store all manner of belongings in it as he sees fit, but it will also respond directly to Quinn's needs. For example, if he's trying to travel at night, Quinn could put his hand into the bag and withdraw a torch or lantern to guild his way; if he was caught outside in a rainstorm, he could withdraw a waterproof poncho. It can even provide basic food and water (he won't be getting any five-star meals or fine wines out of it, but it'll keep him alive at least)! These items will last for about an IG week before disintegrating. He can withdraw items for his basic needs, but would not be able to pull new weapons, defensive items, or magical objects from the bag.
Unique Saddle (Foresight Saddle)
When using this saddle on Glowstick (or any other mount he may eventually acquire!), Quinn will be receive small glimpses of the immediate future when dangers or other obstacles stand in his path. For example, he might receive a vision that lets him know that if he continues on this path for 2 minutes he will risk being crushed by a falling tree. These visions are not infallible or perfect, but can at least help him to take more calculated risks!
Figurines (Feline Figurines)
Two tiny feline figurines (resemble his cheetah form a bit, just mini!). These figurines are composed of a tarnished silver and rather rough-cut, meaning they aren't likely to be stolen if seen. However, these figurines are tied to one another and therefore those who possess them are tied together. This means Tarquin could provide one figurine to his ward and keep the other for himself; by doing so he will have the ability to sense his ward's location and general wellbeing/health no matter where he may be. Though the figurines are typically inanimate, they will have the "instinct" to remain with the person they were given to. So, for example, if the figurine is discovered and thrown away by an attacker, the figurine will "reappear" inside the ward's pocket within seconds!
Watch (Inn Monitor)
This item allows Tarquin to, at a glance, tell the condition of his inn. There are three separate lights on this watch: one indicates the overall status of the inn (i.e. how popular it is, if the general opinion is positive, etc.); one indicates structural health of the inn; and the third indicates the health/wellbeing of his visitors.
Gem (Affliction Gem)
This gem allows Tarquin to sense ailments that may plague those who Tarquin comes into contact with! The gem is usually a light gray in colour and is no bigger than a fingernail - Quinn can choose how he wears it - set in a ring, necklace or bracelet - and the color of the gem will change depending on the type of ailment (player choice on how the color changes!) Hopefully this will help Tarquin with healing should he ever set up his own courtesan flock!
Pendant (Animal Calming Pendant)
Tarquin has been gifted an animal pendant made from oak, the oval shaped piece of wood is ornately carved with various animals and when worn allows Tarquin to emit a calming aura that soothes animals in his vicinity - hopefully making them a little easier to handle and train! The pendant isn�t foolproof and may not work on every animal Tarquin encounters, however, and it works based off of Tarquin�s emotions so you better keep a cool head, Tarquin!
Staff (Shepard's Staff)
Tarquin has earned himself a shepherd�s staff! This wooden staff has been enhanced to allow Tarquin to know the whereabouts and well-being of his �flock� (his companion animals and any pets! Or a proper flock should he choose to embrace the herder life!) at any given moment simply by tapping it against the ground! This works by giving Tarquin a �sense� of the direction of the members of his flock.
Emblem (Fire Emblem)
This can be implanted painlessly anywhere on the user's body and can give their skin a "fire shield" for up to 15 minutes.
Tooth (Werewolf Tooth)
Gives the user the ability to grow canine-like teeth on the full moon.
Token (Dream)
A small quarter sized token that will give Tarquin the ability to slip into another character�s dream 1x per RL month (with player permission).
Horn (Frozen)
This will give Tarquin the ability to freeze time for 5 minutes.

The storm presses on and on, and Quinn had admitted faults in the confidence of the den; how he broke things in others, how he couldn't stop, didn't know how, probably wouldn't stop even if he ever did find out how to. That yes, being around Quinn was often a mistake. How many could attest to that truth? Quinn could make no promises. But he had more to offer than the idea of promises, and holding back was not a game he was currently willing to play. Quinn had made that known and let Vhetiveer glimpse the vicious corners of himself while grasping for the darker parts of Vhetiveer as well. There's a stillness to Quinn now as he holds to his bleeding throat, waiting for the wound to clot and slow.
He casts a glance to Vhetiveer when the words are spoken, watching the man tuck into the furs. "No worries, I am without that magic here." His gaze faulters, sways to the den walls for a moment. It hadn't been an accident, and he didn't think he needed to say anything more. This was the way things were; he'd made his sacrifices and he didn't feel like talking about it. Quinn settles back, fine with the invite to stay and sleep; pensive when Vhetiveer speaks of Ucal and how they would get the boy back somehow. Quinn didn't doubt it. If they wanted it bad enough, then they would find a way for it. Quinn didn't trust much of anything, to be sure, but he doesn't add any comments, already drifting to sleep.
Quinn sleeps like a rock, and there was no knowing what he dreamt of, because it was the kind that never lasted, that was gone as soon as it was done. Quinn would remember nothing of it, and perhaps that was for the best. Too much had happened in the time that Quinn had been in Knell, and feeling shut off for a little while as he slept was a kindness. One he probably did not deserve, but one nonetheless. In Knell, dream eaters were very real and well, though learning of all this would come later, not tonight, not here and now. Quinn sleeps long and hard, but there's wounding to heal, and his body is not what it used to be. He heals faster than some, sure, but he used to be able to heal in instants. No longer so.
He might have slept longer yet, but the twitching at his chest was what finally dragged him awake. He blinked blurrily at the sight of fuzzy ears being the culprit of waking him, feeling the rush of last night hitting him full force and suddenly he was very awake. Accepting, calm, but awake and prodding gently at his throat to see how the wound had faired during the night. Closed, sealed, but bruised and tender and feeling raw on the inside. Good enough; he'd survive. Quinn gazed at the rabbit from the corner of his eye, but for several minutes he doesn't move, doesn't disturb the smaller form against him. It's his stomach that complains first, and Quinn exhaled and let his fingertips run gently down Vhetibunny's back.

They're very comfortable and very natural looking, perhaps some of the best design I've seen to blend into natural eyes. Highly recommend, but I might get a different color next time, like to try Premier Brown.

January 11, 1991, Section A, Page 14Buy Reprints
In a rare collaborative undertaking, three of the country's leading philanthropies are establishing an Energy Foundation to promote energy efficiency and greater reliance on renewable sources like wind and solar power.
The foundation is being financed by an initial $20 million from the Rockefeller Foundation, the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation of Chicago and the Pew Charitable Trusts of Philadelphia.
The partnership was conceived long before the Persian Gulf crisis, the sponsors said after announcing the plan yesterday at a news conference in Washington. But they said current events underscored the need for a new energy strategy for political, economic and environmental reasons.
"At a time of grave danger and volatility in the Middle East, it is worrisome that the United States is increasing its dependence on foreign oil, especially so because there are other proven alternatives," said Hal Harvey, an energy engineer who will be executive director of the Energy Foundation. Goals of Foundation
The foundation, which will have its office in San Francisco, will identify innovations for conserving energy and will seek to promote their use nationwide. It will also provide funds for research and public education and work with government agencies and environmental groups.
Peter C. Goldmark Jr., president of the Rockefeller Foundation, said: "It is time to conceive of energy efficiency as a source of energy just like oil in Alaska or coal in Montana. That's what this foundation is all about. We want to promote an 'efficiency reserve' that is one of the cleanest, safest and cheapest sources of energy we have."
Adele Simmons, president of the MacArthur Foundation, said the sponsors conceived their energy partnership in 1989, convinced that there was growing public support for the concept of energy efficiency. "It was clear to us," she said, "that there are many constituencies ready to move ahead -- the utilities, regulators, environmentalists and policy makers -- and this was so even before the Iraqi developments put energy on the national agenda."
Pew, the country's second largest philanthropy after the Ford Foundation, joined the venture because of its potential to make a difference, said Rebecca W. Rimel, its executive director. "With some effort, we should be able to save between 30 percent and 50 percent of the energy this country now consumes annually. That's what makes this a beautiful program. Regretfully, we do not have the means to do away with poverty, crime or drugs. This is doable."
The foundation will start out by focusing on areas where there is a high potential for energy savings, in fields like electrical utilities, building construction and transportation. Rewards for Efficiency
For example, it will promote model practices adopted by electrical utilities like Pacific Gas and Electric, which offers cash rebates for customers who switch to more efficient energy equipment, ranging from light bulbs to refrigerators.
In the transportation field, which consumes 27 percent of the country's energy supply each year, the foundation will encourage the use of technologies that could double the fuel efficiency of automobiles in this country.
In the building construction trades, the use of more efficient windows, advanced lighting, heating and cooling systems could reduce energy consumption by 50 percent, said Mr. Harvey.
He said costs of renewable energy sources were significantly reduced in the last decade, making them competitive with fossil fuels. "Wind power produced by California utilities now produces enough electricity to meet the annual needs of 900,000 people," he said.
Welcoming the establishment of the foundation, Dr. John H. Gibbons, director of the Congressional Office of Technology Assessment, noted that the Federal budget for energy conservation, which he said "should be the centerpiece of any United States strategy to reduce oil dependency," was cut drastically in the early 1980's. Predictably, he said, progress in energy efficiency suffered.
"This new foundation," he added, "has unfettered resources, not tied by ideological in-fighting."

Your alarm goes off, you reach for your phone, and before you know it, you're running behind because you just fell down the Instagram rabbit hole. It happens to the best of us, especially when we encounter a particularly good celebrity fan account – you know the kind that compels you to keep clicking through even when you're crunched for time. While Instagram cracked down on some celebrity fan accounts with huge followings in the past two years, there are many that survived the sweep, and we're here for them.
If you're unfamiliar with celebrity fan accounts, they come in a multitude of forms – all of them reflective of the total devotion of celebrity aficionados. Some of our favorites are conceptual, taking celebrity photoshoots, editorials, and personal images and transforming them into creative posts with the aid of clever editing techniques. However, the ones that pose the biggest threat to our free time are fan accounts that synthesize every conceivable aspect of a celebrity's life, from behind-the-scenes clips to forgotten filmography.
Below, you'll find some of our tried-and-tested favorites, but we'll slap a warning label on this crop of accounts and tell you in advance that they're all seriously addictive.
While this account doesn't have a massive following, it deserves to. Not only does it artistically interpret Bella Hadid's red carpet, street style, and editorial looks in a beautiful way, but the user behind the account also posts helpful tutorials on how to stylize posts in a similar way. Hadid herself has given the account love on various occasions, by reposting some of its work.
In a similar vein, @GigiHadits also gets creative with its interpretations of Gigi Hadid's editorial shoots, juxtaposing them against natural backdrops and space scenery. The vivid edits are works of art, and have garnered the attention of Hadid herself who has liked and reposted several of their pieces.
We've written about this account before, but it bears mentioning again, especially in the context of cool royal fan accounts. #TheCrownWhisperer takes Queen Rania of Jordan's most stylish looks and triples them, creating syncopation between the triptychs by tying them together with artistic flourishes.
We were crushed when Instagram shut down the wildly popular @Beyhive account (which had 1.2 million followers at its peak), but @Rumiyonce has proven to be a decent contender in its wake. This fan account has a little bit of everything: Throwback posts, music video clips, live performances, candid moments, and more. If you "stan" Beyoncé, you won't regret giving this account your attention.
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen might be famously reclusive and elusive, but their fans have made finding them into something of an art form. Not only do they seem to know the twins' whereabouts at all times, but they've also proven adept at finding out who's in their inner circle and using that knowledge to extend their grasp of the Olsen universe. While there are a lot of obsessive Olsen fan accounts to choose from, we love @OlsenOracle the most because the user seems to genuinely appreciate the twins without being too stalker-y.

After reading @garage_magazine's article (link in bio) there was one thing I wanted to say. I have such an admiration for Ashley and MK because I'm a lover of nostalgia (and also their authenticity). Do you remember what it was like to be a fan of someone before social media? You had so many questions about them, but never many answers. You took what you could get and lived with the beauty of fascination. You couldn't imagine a world where a celebrity detailed their divorce or falling out with someone in a caption. Social media has created a world of fandom that didn't exist even 15 years ago. Creating a huge gap between obsession and fascination. A library book, a physical copy of a newspaper, listening to the classics from the 40s and 50s, wishing my car had a CD player…am I a purist? Not exactly. Am I in my 20s? Yes. There are just certain things that warm my heart no matter what. Certain things I long for that'll never return to this world of the digital age. My point being…MK isn't on Instagram posting what she ate for dinner and Ash isn't taking mirror selfies. But you know what? I love them even more because of that. That means they are living how they want to live. Authentically. They remind me that just because the world is rapidly changing every little thing, doesn't mean they have to follow suit. People wonder how they remain so authentic but never stop to think about what inspires a person who isn't constantly looking on social media apps. And now I'll stop because I know I'm a hypocrite writing this sort of blubber on..a social media app. 😂 (2014) • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • #marykateandashley #marykateandashleyolsen #photography #olsentwins #TheRow #fashion #inspiration #love #elizabethandjames #style #authentic #natural #highfashion #ashleyolsen #marykateolsen #blonde #wcw #hairstyles #sister #fandom #ootd #beautiful #minimal #newyork #bestfriend
This is one of the most thorough fan accounts you're likely to find anywhere (and it's one some of the other royals follow). Not only does it post candid shots of the Duchess of Sussex, behind-the-scenes footage of her public appearances, and style breakdowns, but it also posts adorable fan art, and side-by-side comparisons to other historical royal moments. It is extensively researched and exhaustively attended to, so mega-fans of Meghan Markle will find a lot benefits to giving this account a follow.
There are a lot, and we mean a lot of Kardashian-Jenner fan accounts on Instagram, with many devoted to individual family members. While you have plenty of options to choose from, we're of the opinion that @DashUniverse is one of the best because it covers aspects of the entire family, from the central family and its offspring to extended members of the family. It also amalgamates behind-the-scenes clips, photoshoots, editorials, clips from the show, Fashion Week moments, and so much more.
We have literally spent an entire afternoon watching every single video on this Rihanna fan account, and we don't regret it one bit. As one of fashion's most fearless icons, and the beauty industry's most beloved disruptor, there's one aspect of Rihanna's stardom that gets lost in all the breathless media coverage: How ridiculously funny and entertaining she is. @RihannaAve captures those moments better than most, posting candid videos, performances, and behind-the-scenes music video moments that help us get a better idea of what it would be like to hang out with the Bad Gal, IRL.

Weeks 4, 5, and 6 will repeat week 3, without the CT scan. Some patients will just have outpatient visits these weeks.
After treatment, participants will have follow-up visits every few months for up to 2 years. At these visits, participants will give blood samples and have CT scans.
|Condition or disease
|T-Cell Lymphoma Relapsed Adult T-Cell Leukemia (ATL) Peripheral T-Cell Lymphoma (PTCL) Cutaneous T Cell Lymphoma (CTCL) T-Cell Prolymphocytic Leukemia
|Biological: IL-15 plus alemtuzumab
|Phase 1
- A previous trial alemtuzumab (CAMPATH-1) in patients with chronic, acute and lymphomatous subtype HTLV-1 associated ATL showed appreciable initial activity but no clear long-term impact.
- Antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) with polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs), monocytes and natural killer (NK) cells acting as the effector cells is alemtuzumab s primary in vivo mechanism of action for depleting malignant leukemic or lymphomatous cells.
- The immunologic effects of Interleukin-15 (IL-15), a stimulatory cytokine that promotes the differentiation and activation of NK cells, monocytes and long-term CD8+ memory Tcells, has been assessed in several phase I trials in cancer patients.
- Administration of recombinant human (rh) IL-15 as an intravenous bolus (IVB), continuous intravenous infusion (CIV) or subcutaneous injections (SC) into adult cancer patients has produced 5 to 50 fold expansion in the number of circulating NK cells at well tolerated doses in these patients.
- Preclinical murine lymphoid malignancy models have shown efficacy from the administration of IL-15 and monoclonal antibodies, with improved survival compared to controls.
-To determine the safety, toxicity profile and the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of s.c. rhIL-15 in combination with standard three times per week IV alemtuzumab treatment.
- Age greater than or equal to 18 years old
- ECOG Performance Status less than or equal to 1
- Diagnosis of adult T-cell leukemia (HTLV-1 associated, chronic or acute), peripheral T-cell lymphoma (angioimmunoblastic, hepatosplenic, or not otherwise specified), cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (Stage III or IV, with leukemia involvement or erythrodemia), or T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia (T-PLL)
- Measurable or evaluable disease
- Adequate organ and bone marrow function as defined in the protocol.
- This is a single institution nonrandomized Phase I dose escalation study evaluating increasing doses of SC rhIL-15 in combination with alemtuzumab using a standard 3 + 3 dose escalation.
- Treatment will include s.c. rhIL015 daily (M-F) weeks 1 and 2 (dose levels 0.5- 2 mcg/kg/dose), followed by IV alemtuzumab beginning in week 3 (escalating doses followed by standard dosing in weeks 4-6).
- Up to 30 patients will be enrolled in this study.

I have worked since I was 15 years old. My first job was at a Jewish deli at the mall, and this is where I get my excellent sandwich making skills. It was fun, and like most, this was my first taste of financial freedom. For many years, my mom was a single parent so when it came to "stuff," we (my brother and I) often did without certain "things." No "Nike" shoes or alligator shirts amongst, but we always had the important stuff; love, health, a roof over our heads, clothes on our backs, lights, heat, and food. But having my first job gave me the means to buy the "stuff" that I thought would help me keep up with some of the other kids. Clothes I wanted, make-up, movies and when I started driving, gas money and car insurance payments. Since that time, I've had very few moments in life where I didn't have a job. One did not quit a job without having something else lined up. That was a definite no. You had to have money to "support" yourself. That's the way it works, and little did I know that back at a young age, I had fallen into the "keeping up with the Joneses" theory even if it was only teenage girls clothes vs. having the best yard in the neighborhood.
I can remember three times I didn't work:
- March 2001 – After my 3rd startup company, I told Ed I needed some time off. While I took a break from a paying job, I took on the most important title and impacting role I'd ever have; stay-at-home mom- of-two-teenage-kids. Also during that time, Ed had started his own business, so I helped him in the office and built his business. And for a hobby, I went to nail technician school so I could do nails – something I had always wanted to do. So I took time "off"…not so much.
- June 2008 – I had decided to take a voluntary severance package from a job, and within one week of that decision, Microsoft came knocking on my door. I went through the interview process and had landed the role in July but didn't start until September (I was moving across the country and needed some time to get all of that shit in order). And so for about six weeks, I had the peace of mind financially and professionally just to enjoy things for a moment. I did have to pack up a house and sell it, but the little things. 🙂 In all reality, Ed took care of getting the house ready to sell. He worked with the movers, the relator, the contractors for the small work or he did it himself. He was so supportive and just wanted me focused on one thing; my new dream job at Microsoft and our new adventure in Seattle. Done and done. I genuinely enjoyed this short amount of time. My days consisted of long workouts in the morning, lunching with girlfriends in the afternoons, reading books on the patio, and BBQs at night. Life was good. It was a time when I felt aligned on all fronts; physically, emotionally and financially. The time went by quickly without bumps in the road. We lost our beloved five-year-old Rottweiler, Sadie on July 31, 2008, to osteosarcoma (bone cancer), the housing market crashed, and I had to move to Seattle two months in advance of Ed. We had never spent this much time apart. It was hard, but we did it. It was a short time in life overall and six months went by very quickly.
- February 2013 – Ed passed away, and I could not work. I had been on leave starting in October 2012, but I was his full-time caregiver. What I thought was the most laborious work I would ever do, only to be schooled that grieving the loss of my husband would be the most painful and challenging work I'd ever do. Because that is what grief is; it is work. I won't go into details about what that means, but those who have been through it know. It's not just surviving every day, but you have to work through grief. And it's hard. For the first time since I was 15 years old, I didn't have a job. Worse than that, it felt like I didn't have anything including an identity. In one fell swoop, I was no longer a wife, caregiver, and who even cared about a professional career. My kids were grown and out of the house, so while I will always be a "mom," I wasn't raising kids. I am a "mom" to my fur babies, but that was it. My only "job" and responsibility at this point was me. I had to take care of myself. Be my caregiver, full time. Heal myself from not only the grief of the loss of my husband but the trauma I had been through taking care of him for 18 months. While we don't admit it while we are "in it," the entire experience was traumatic. From the shock of the diagnosis to the painful decisions, to the brutality of watching him go from Superman to a mere mortal, and ultimately to his passing, trauma seems like too small of a word to describe what we all went through. But there were bills to pay, and frankly, the fall and winter months were coming, so I needed to get back to some normalcy. I officially left Microsoft and moved onto Flexera Software in January 2014 – less than one year after the most devastating experience of my life.
So when changes came about at my job at Flexera Software in 2017, I had to dig deep into what I wanted to do. My habits of "you can't quit a job without having a job" jumped right into play. Christina Rasmussen, author of Second Firsts, a book I have recommended to many that are at a crossroads in life. We do what is safe and what we know because our "survivor" tells us we have to do so. Before digging too deep, however, I was headed out on a much-needed vacation. A week in Maui where I would unplug and not think about any of it. Life, working, politics. Nothing. I would take not working to the ultimate degree.
I went to Maui, and it is an understatement in saying what a great trip I had. It was my first real vacation in years. I've traveled, but it's been for work or family, never a complete tropical paradise indulgence. It was my first without Ed. A different kind of trip with two girlfriends who could not have been more supportive, caring and downright FUN 🙂 We had a great time, and when it was time to come home, I realized what I was returning to was not much. Let me pause in saying that I have so much gratitude for what I have in life. My children, my parents, my friends and family, my doggies, of course, the roof over my head, and the job that helps me to pay for my lifestyle and incredible trips like the one I was completing. But when thinking about what I was coming home to that day, what my life was about, I had very little that I could come up with in my mind. For the past several years, I have been on auto-pilot going to a job every day that while financially secures me, it does not serve me in a significant number of ways. I won't go into the details of what that means, but I know better than to allow life to keep passing me by the wayside. We only have so many days and while procrastinating and being fearful or "surviving" is okay, it's no way to live life.
I have spent many hours contemplating what I want to do. I have no clue. On this trip, however, I did realize that I don't want to do this any longer. And the fear of "what if I never find another job again" plays on a continual loop in my mind, I finally pushed the pause button as asked myself, "What if I take off six months' time? A sabbatical? That does not nearly sound as scary as quitting my job. Right?" In fact, it didn't. And with that, I am officially on permanent sabbatical from my career. For an undetermined amount of time. Because in the grand scheme of the 33 years I have been working, this seems reasonable and in my gut, the right thing to do. A risk, sure, but healing from trauma does not come in one short year. Perhaps I didn't take enough time after Ed passed? Perhaps I was too illusioned about what I "should do" and not focused on what I needed to do. I don't know what's ahead, but I do know that I will indeed be living a one-day-at-a-time life of presence. I will not overly plan or schedule myself. I will do like I did in Hawaii and having gratitude for the day, honoring the sunrise and sunset when I can see it here in Seattle :-). I will take care of myself physically, spiritually and emotionally figuring out what feeds my soul and serves me. Writing? School? Something completely different? I don't know, and it's okay not to know. Life is not one master plan that we can control. If there is nothing I have not learned since Ed was diagnosed, it is this, but I still don't live it. I am a control freak extraordinaire.
I will be okay. I can take the road less traveled and survive. I got this.
Have you ever started over? Leave me a comment and let me know how you did it. I can use all of the help I can get right now 🙂
Thanks for reading!

I just returned from the elite and rather secretive Black Diamond Conference in Florida, where I gave a seminar called "Extreme Trading Live"…alongside trading legends like Shah Gilani, Tom Gentile, and Chris Johnson.
It was so secret, even my editors were not allowed to attend.
Some parts of the conference were officially taped and my Stealth Profits Traders and 10-Minute Millionaire Pro subscribers should have their hands on a copy of those recordings soon.
But what I didn't reckon on was a rogue Promotions Director with a cell phone camera…
