This is how I spend three days per week now. Connected to a machine that cleans my blood. Thankfully I can bring my laptop and Telenor has been kind enough to supply me with a portable LTE wireless access point.
An interesting point is that the blood never comes into contact with the machine itself. It always flows inside the (disposable) tubes and the artificial kidney. This means some cleverness is necessary to pump the blood. This is done using a peristaltic pump. When I am done with my dialysis session, the nurse just rips out the tubing and throws it in the special yellow biohazard waste-bin. Then someone wipes the machine down, puts in a new set of tubes, and the machine is ready for the next patient.
Access cover near Gurnet Head on Cooper's Island, Parish of St. George's, Bermuda.
I guess this is a left-over from when this particular area was occupied by US military installations now demolished, so perhaps this access cover no longer gives access to anything electrical at all. I didn't try finding out.

1960/07.R393. The train seen at Sheffield Park in previous shots proceeded up the line, complete with the camera crew aloft on STEPNEY.
At that time, the Bluebell Line was denied access to Horsted Keynes station and had to stop short a bit down the line. The sleepers visible in the grass on the left were ready for a gang of volunteers to build a temporary halt at this spot.

Throughout Africa, public libraries are promoting social and economic development in their communities through financial literacy workshops, ICT training for women, health classes, programs for children, and more.
Representatives from some of those libraries — from nine countries throughout Africa and Europe — came to the Beyond Access event in Cape Town, South Africa to build partnerships and exchange ideas on how libraries can drive development.

Title : Denver Art Museum
Other title : Denver Art Museum
Creator : Ponti, Gio, 1891-1979; James Sudler Associates; Michael Graves Architect; Klipp Colussy Jenks Dubois Architects
Creator role : Architect
Date : 1971
Current location : Denver, Colorado, United States
Description of work : In 1971, the museum opened what is now known as the North Building, designed by Italian architect Gio Ponti and Denver-based James Sudler Associates. The seven-story structure, 210,000-square-foot building allowed the museum to display its collections under one roof for the first time. The North Building was an innovative move away from traditional, temple-style museum architecture. More than a million reflective glass tiles on the building's exterior complement the dramatic windows and pierced roofline of the building's castle-like facade. "Art is a treasure, and these thin but jealous walls defend it" said Gio Ponti. (Source: Denver Art Museum, www.denverartmuseum.org/discover_the_dam/architecture, Accessed 01/26/2010)
Description of view : View of the east facade of the North Building of the Denver Art Museum complex, from the roof of the Denver Central Library. The original oval-shaped entrance to the North Building is seen, which is now an emergency exit. In front of that is the bright red sculpture "Wheel" by Hock E Aye Vi Edgar Heap of Birds. The street goes along the right side which is next to the Civic Center Park.

#No DAPL - Stop Dakota Access Pipeline
San Francisco
November 15, 2016
At dawn, thousands gather at San Francisco Civic Center to stand in solidarity with the Standing Rock Sioux tribe in North Dakota and the massive gathering of Protectors standing against the Dakota Access Pipeline. A sunrise ceremony is followed by a march to the SF Army Corps of Engineers to increase pressure on them to not permit the laying of pipe under the Missouri River, a source of water for the tribe and millions of others.
The protest in San Francisco was one of over 200 actions across the country, calling for a stop to the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline and for the protection of water, sacred sites and the planet from the fossil fuel industry and it's funders.
According to the odometer on Joni's vehicle, it was a 684 mile trek from her home in South Carolina to downtown Harrisburg. It is basically a two day trip. Joni left her home early on Tuesday afternoon and headed north, planning on an early Wednesday afternoon arrival in Harrisburg. Joni left her home in guy mode, but planned on arriving in Harrisburg fully dressed as Joni. Obviously, Joni was going to have to change her clothes and gender somewhere along the way. The easy solution, of course, would be to pull into a cheap roach motel or a more expensive chain brand hotel at some point later in the evening and emerge en femme the following morning. However the whole Keystone trip and Conference is a bit of a financial strain on a woman living on a fixed income, as is the case with Joni. Checking into a hotel is an additional expense which Joni chose to avoid. Furthermore, the best time for Joni to drive was late at night and in the early morning hours when traffic was lightest. Additionally, checking into a hotel would slow down the trip. While there is a lot to be said for a good night's sleep, the reality is if she checked into a hotel at midnight, when she would wake up in the morning she would be approximately 200 miles further away from Harrisburg than if she had kept driving. Finally, Joni has had extensive experience sleeping in rest areas and changing clothes in her car. What's more, Joni has a favorite rest area where she can sleep and use a "family room" for changing. It's ideal. She has used it on other trips coming north, including prior trips to Keystone Conferences.
By the time Joni pulled into her favorite rest area a little after 3:00 a.m., she had already driven nearly 600 miles and quickly fell asleep in her car on what was a rather cold night. Joni bundled herself with blankets and nevertheless managed to sleep soundly through the remainder of the night, other than a sleep-walking visit to the men's room. Her slumber was otherwise undisturbed by the early morning traffic on the highway or idling trucks in the rest area. She awoke shortly after 9:00 a.m. and after stretching to work out some of the overnight kinks, Joni invaded her cooler for a chocolate protein drink which she used to wash down a Twinkie and some cookies. . . . Joni calls it breakfast. Joni then repaired to the men's room again where she took care of business. Upon exiting the men's room, she checked to see if the family room was unoccupied and available, which it was. She then returned to her car where she picked up her travel bag containing toiletries and a large pre-packed bag full of femme clothes and items and entered the family room, locking the door behind her.
Something needs to be said about "family rooms". Not all rest areas have one, but it's great when there is one. It appears that family rooms were designed as a convenience for changing baby diapers or breast-feeding mothers, or anyone desiring a higher level of privacy than the usual public restroom provides. They are usually very clean as well, as this one was. They are particularly ideal for transgender women as it allows them to avoid the gender-related controversies which upset some people and politicians who obsess over the issue of what public restrooms a transgender person can use.
Once inside, Joni started her transformation by first shaving her face with an electric razor and then using a soapy washcloth to wash her face. She then applied a facial moisturizer and brushed her teeth. At this point, Joni was still presenting as her male alter ego, but her transition began in earnest when she removed all of her clothes right down to her birthday suit. She proceeded to give herself a thorough handwashing to freshen up in lieu of a shower. (You can't expect everything in a family room!) It is to be noted that it helped that this family room was well-heated on this otherwise cold morning. Joni then began dressing en femme as quickly as possible, starting with panties and a panty girdle, followed by her bra and breast forms. She then added knee-high stockings and denim pants with dressy black flat heels. She completed her outfit for the ride to Harrisburg with a pink sweater top. She put on a wig cap, but did not put on her wig as yet because she prefers to put on her makeup before putting on her wig.
As virtually all women, especially T-Girls, know, putting on one's makeup can be a very time consuming process which must be done carefully. On this occasion, Joni shortened her usual makeup routine after moisturizing when she would normally apply beard cover, concealer, cream foundation and setting powder by using a Cover Girl All-in-One foundation. Once the All-in-One foundation had settled, Joni still took considerable time applying her eyebrow pencil, liquid eyeliner, eye-shadows, mascara, and blush, saving the application of her lipstick for last. Before Joni put on her wig, she added her necklace, bracelets, and earrings Only after Joni put on her wig du jour and combed it out, did Joni pick out a shade of lipstick from the several shades she had brought with her which she felt best matched or complemented her hair color and makeup.
Joni then packed up all her remaining clothes and items and posed for a couple of quick photos before she put on her black leather jacket and hoisted her hand bag over her shoulder and headed out the door to her car. This whole process of getting dressed and putting on her makeup still took approximately an hour and a half. It was already after 11:00 a.m. and Joni still wasn't done because she still had to put on her fingernail polish! Joni couldn't paint her nails in the family room because there was no chair for her to sit on, so she had no choice but to paint her nails outdoors in the chilly and windy conditions while sitting at a picnic table. That took a while, as the conditions caused some mishaps which required nail polish remover and do-overs, but at least the nails did dry quickly in the wind.
By the time Joni got back on the road and resumed her trip to Harrisburg, it was nearly noon time. She arrived at the Harrisburg Hilton Hotel shortly after 2:00 p.m. It should be noted that even though Joni occupied the family room for an inordinate amount of time, at no time did anyone else knock on the door of the family room seeking to access it. The only person who suspected anything was the security guard/ groundskeeper who in the course of his duties probably noticed that the lone occupant of the vehicle with the out of state South Carolina license plate was a guy early in the morning and was dressed as a women later when he was putting on fingernail polish seated at a picnic table. . . .Then again maybe he didn't notice.
In the above photo, Joni is seen applying the finishing touches to her makeup as she applies her chosen shade of lipstick. . . .On to Harrisburg!!
