Nat Clifton opened doors for African-Americans

    Nat Clifton opened windows of opportunity for African-Americans in basketball in divided times like this. It’s a shame we take him for granted. Without Clifton, there is no Micheal Jordan, let alone Barack Obama. Providing the Commentary with Dan Riley: Please consider sharing our stories on Social Media.

Blanda the Jungle Queen

Blanda The Jungle Queen is a Public Domain character with incredibly little to her name in terms of history; both from Comicvine where no description is given at all, or public domain superhero fandom website. Which details her as a leader/ruler in a locationless jungle and ruling over a group called the Aza Tribe, she saves a game hunter called Greg Martin from being sacrificed because she loves him.

I think that from the time periond this was penned in and context clues in the three sentences describing her publication history, like Cave Girl that Blanda was meant to utilise Africa (more specifically a hyper-fictionalised impression of Africa) as a backdrop for the narratives she was involved in. Hence the Big Game hunter and her being the 'voice of reason' to the rest of her wild animal worshipping, human sacrificing tribe. Which in turn like many WW2 public domain characters makes Blanda hard to reimagine into the modern age.

But it isn't impossible; considering how little actual material exists of Blanda's run as a comicbook character, anyone reimagining her only needs to keep track of two things: She rules a group/tribe of individuals in a wild or primal part of the world, and that said group reveres and worships animals. Greg Martin, the implied notion of this being somewhere Africia and her being some 'voice of reason' can all easily be discarded.

A way to reimagine Blanda could be something similar to Bastard: King of Evil and Destruction; where technology and magic and religion have bled into one another, where the Aza tribe were designed for animal husbandry and are capable of calling on otherworldly power or energies to maintain their borders to fulfill their purpose. Allowing a mix of sword and sorcery and low fantasy fair found in the 1996 Heavy Metal movie and the 1977 Wizards; where wizards, knights and tanks and guns were side by side.

You could go comfortably into a middle fantasy world with artistic leanings from Conan and Red Sonja. A primeval world where civilisation was just beginning to dawn and magic and the gods are real; so the Aza tribe's reverence for animals assists them in staying enemy forces and intentions. But also means that Blanda must way the consequences of taking people and using them as a sacrifice to appease the gods and fuel her kingdom with power and plenty.

Or you could do something similar in tone to Kamandi and the Tiger Empire by DC Comics; have Blanda and the Aza tribe be some neo-dark age pocket of human civilisation in world dominated by an alien species or some kind of hyper-evolved animal-humanoid hybrids. That Blanda must use her position as queen to protect the last few vestiges of Humanity left on a planet that has either moved on from them; or out right abandoned them. In this narrative Greg Martin might be a young animal-humanoid who encounters the tribe and realises that they've been misled or indoctrinated into thinking hunting humans for sport is utterly disgusting and wrong on so many levels. Leading to him feeding the Aza tribe information whenever he goes on a 'hunting expedition' as to avoid being caught aiding a group that his culture deems a lower form of life.

We lay to a few minutes to ask the cutter some questions, and learned, among other glorious news, that civil war is raging in Africia, while the plague is doing its good work beautifully both in Yurope and Ayesher. Is it not truly remarkable that, before the magnifcent light shed upon philosophy by Humanity, the world was accustomed to regard War and Pestilence as calamities? Do you know that prayers were actually offered up in the ancient temples to the end that these evils (!) might not be visited upon mankind? Is it not really diffcult to comprehend upon what principle of interest our forefathers acted? Were they so blind as not to perceive that the destruction of a myriad of individuals is only so much positive advantage to the mass!

-- Edgar A Poe, from MELLONTA TAUTA, a work of science fiction taking place in the year 2848

Sounds like something ann rand (not a typo) would have taken as a long-winded motto, and adopted by today's rethuglicants.

Sports could help heal and unite a divided country

Fun meme! Tell me Jill and Kendra, please!

Jill - If you could have any meal perfectly prepared for you once a week, what meal would it be? 

Homemade fresh pasta!!! So good but so time consuming

Kendra - Describe your ideal itinerary if you could spend six months traveling the world with no financial or visa-related limitations.

I was lucky enough to study abroad, I lived in London and visited Paris, Ireland, Prague, Austria, Greece, Barcelona, Geneva, and Italy while I was there. I feel like I checked Europe off my bucket list. So I would divide my 6th months and do 3 in Africia- Morocco, South Africa, Egypt, spend some time visiting a wildlife preserve. Then two weeks in the Seychelles. Then I’d do a month going all over Australia, and two weeks in New Zealand, two weeks in Fiji. I’d conclude with two weeks in Haiwaii. Honestly that sounds so nice. Can I skip the rest of finals and do that?
