Red Hat
Sherri glanced at the bumper sticker and had to laugh. Yes, a giant meteor might be better in this current political climate. It would definitely be better than the two bozos that had been chosen from them… Sherri contemplated a giant rock hitting the earth as she stood outside of the school that had been assigned to her to cast her vote.

'The Avengers,' Space Force and Our Real American Heroes
We, the American people, have been most certainly blessed with a nation that defends our personal safety constantly. We lead relatively safer lives on a day to day basis, In comparison to many of the other countries we share this planet with. Its not to say that we do not have a great deal of our own issues here at home. Yet the fact remains that due to the strong efforts of our elected leaders and military power worldwide, most Americans have the privilege of going to sleep at night feeling safe. We often have used this hard-earned freedom to create some of the biggest artistic and scientific accomplishments known to man. One industry that benefits from this the most is the movie industry. Over the last 50 years Hollywood has produced some of the most epic films the world has ever seen. Star Wars, Avatar, The Fast & The Furious, Titanic, Harry Potter, Terminator, and most recently Avengers: Infinity War being by far the most profitable movie of all time.

'Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons' - 50th Anniversary Box Set Review
For many years now, Big Finish have been producing audio dramas based on cult properties such as Doctor Who, Sapphire And Steel, The Avengers, Blake's 7, and The Prisoner, among others. But one range of programmes that they have never touched are the Supermarionation series' produced by Gerry Anderson throughout the 1960s. After a successful three boxset revival of Terrahawks in 2015-17, it wasn't going to be long before Big Finish turned their attention to another Anderson property. And now, in time for the programme's 50th anniversary, we have our answer, in the form of four special releases centered on Captain Scarlet And The Mysterons. The successor to Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet And The Mysterons is probably one of the Supermarionation programmes that has stood the test of time and endured in the public consciousness, so it's fitting that Big Finish get the chance to do something to celebrate the programmes' anniversary. The first of these sets is a bumper collection of the various mini-LP's that were released to tie in with the series during it's original transmission run. Available from Century 21 Records, these mini-albums are now highly sort after collectors pieces, so a CD boxset collecting all these titles together would be a highly anticipated release, and one that contains enough nostalgia to make any fan of the programme giddy with joy.

How Does Ebola Work?
An article published in 2018 by Younan, et al. titled “Disabling of lymphocyte immune response by Ebola virus,” draws to attention some interesting associations between lymphopenia, a significant reduction in T cells, and an Ebola virus infection. Most specifically, the author shows how the level of lymphopenia in a patient correlates to survival or fatality. Although the article lacks statistical findings and experimental data, it still provided relevant insight into some mechanisms behind Ebola infections, as well as future prospects in the area of therapeutics.

Home? (Part 5)
"Welcome, welcome, everyone," says the President in the most squeaky yet excited voice I have heard in a long time. None of us have met him personally for we are considered too insignificant to have any direct contact with our governor. It's rather strange how the habitants of this aircraft seem okay with the idea that they have never even seen what our leader looks like. He has appeared once or twice on one of the massive panels allocated in the center of the spaceship to give some important public announcements. However, that only happened in the first two weeks of our arrival to the aircraft, and since then I would even say that his existence had become a myth. For me, at least, for I didn't even think he was a real person. But I've been proven wrong. From what I remember, he's gone a little bit fatter and, instead of having just one prominent double chin, he's now upgraded to a triple chin. His stomach is not small either and I begin wondering where he gets eatable food from, bearing in mind ours is mostly purée, provided to us as a supposed good nutrient source that can be easily chewed and eaten faster than actual solid pieces. Even our times to feed ourselves are under control, and there is no room for relaxation or enjoying a simple moment. We eat in solitude, and it's no surprise that this banquet which we have been invited to is perplexing enough.
