FAB Facts: The trouble with Stingray’s Marina
Marina is perhaps one of the best remembered characters in Stingray – but one of the show’s directors, Alan Pattillo, did not enjoy working with the mute character…

Whumptober Fic Master List
Now that we are at the end of October, we are also at the end of Whumptober 2019! Here’s a list of all of my fics from this month in case anyone missed them and wanted to check them out!
Rooster Teeth
Delirium -  Fever dreams and hallucinations are not great symptoms to have when you're sick, and Gavin was sick. Specifically, he was sick and injured, but mostly sick.
Gunpoint -  If Gavin knew that he was going to get kidnapped today, he wouldn't have come on the heist. (1/5)
Dragged Away -  When you underestimate a crew that's out to get you, you have to pay the price. (2/5)
Stab Wound -  Gavin and Ryan get jumped by a rival crew and barely make it back to their apartment alive. Cue injured boyfriend cuddles.
Adrenaline -  Another crew is hunting them down, but all Gavin and Michael want to do is get outside before the fire consumes them.
Scars - Scars. He had a lot of them. A (possible?) character study of the Golden Boy and his many scars, both physical and mental.
Pinned Down -  The Fake AH Crew head to a warehouse to steal some pretty expensive relics that were rumoured to be stored there, but things quickly get out of hand when another crew turns up.
“Stay with Me” -  A getaway from a heist doesn't go according to plan.
Muffled Scream -  He squeezed his eyes shut and pulled his knees closer to his chest. He just wanted to shut it all out, to pretend it wasn’t happening. He would have never agreed to the whole superhero thing if he knew that it was going to be like this.
Trembling -  Being undead meant that Gavin’s body doesn’t warm him up like it did when he was alive, which results in him getting cold pretty easily. Good job he’s got a fluffy werewolf boyfriend to keep him cosy.
Laced Drink -  After a successful heist, the crew heads out to the bar for some celebratory drinks. However, the night takes a turn for the worse when someone tries to poison their Golden Boy.
Abandoned -  At the end of a heist, Gavin is supposed to fly back to the safehouse alone. Instead, he ends up with a hurt wing and no way of contacting the rest of the crew.
Ransom -  The rest of the crew react to Gavin’s sudden disappearance, and Gavin reacts to his sudden change of scenery. (3/5)
Beaten -  Gavin was kidnapped for a reason. That reason was to gain information, and there was only one way that this crew was going to get it. (4/5)
Embrace - No one took a member of their crew and got away with it. (5/5)
Thunderbirds (Also available on FF.net)
Shaky Hands -  Rescues didn’t always go as planned.
Explosion -  When a rescue in a chemical factory takes a turn for the worse, Gordon must wait for his brothers to get him out before the whole building collapses on him.
Human Shield -  Virgil thinks Gordon is an idiot. Gordon just thinks he's a good brother.
Isolation -  Gordon is stuck alone on one side of the island whilst his family is on the other, and there is a raging storm quickly getting between them.
Shackled -  Rescues are hard when evil lies around every corner.
Unconscious -  Virgil gets worried when there's no sign of Gordon, so he goes investigating.
Stitches -  “I think you’re going to need stitches.”
“Don’t Move” -  Is it worse being stuck between a rock and a hard place, or a precipice and an empty space?
Tear Stained -  Finding yourself trapped under debris is not the best thing to wake up to.
Asphyxiation -  Trapped under rocks with a limited air supply at the bottom of the ocean? Just a regular day for International Rescue.
Hallucination -  Gordon is concussed, and Alan needs a break.
Bleeding Out -  Gordon could be very dramatic, even when he was a kid.
Secret Injury -  Gordon’s hurt, but Virgil needs him. He can set aside his own injuries if that’ll mean his brother is safe, right?
Humiliation -  The first time Gordon met Lady Penelope it did not go according to plan.
Numb -  When things go wrong, there are certain ways that people like to deal with their newfound emotions that stem from these hardships. Some methods can be neither effective nor healthy, but that still doesn’t stop people from locking themselves away and attempting to deal with them on their own anyways.
Recovery -  A snippet from Gordon’s recovery after the events of SOS part 2.
And here’s a link to the whole series!

October 4, 1951: Henrietta Lacks died from cervical cancer at Johns Hopkins Hospital.
Henrietta Lacks was an African-American woman who was the unwitting source of cells (from her cancerous tumor) which were cultured by George Otto Gey to create the 1st known human immortal cell line for medical research.
This is now known as the HeLa cell line.
In 1955 HeLa cells were the 1st human cells successfully cloned.
HBO announced in 2010 that Oprah Winfrey and Alan Ball were developing a film project based on Skloot's book, and in 2016 filming commenced, with Winfrey in the leading role of Deborah Lacks, Henrietta's daughter.
The film The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks was released in 2017.
DIAGNOSIS:
On January 29, 1951, Henrietta went to Johns Hopkins Hospital because she felt a knot inside her. It all started when she asked her cousins to feel her belly, asking if they felt the lump that she did. Her cousins assumed correctly that she was pregnant. But, after giving birth to her fifth child, Joseph, Henrietta started bleeding abnormally and profusely. Her local doctor tested her for syphilis, which came back negative, and referred her to Johns Hopkins.
Johns Hopkins was their only choice for a hospital, since it was the only one in proximity to them that treated black patients. Howard Jones, her new doctor, examined Henrietta and the lump in her cervix. It was like nothing he had ever seen before. He cut off a small part of the tumor and sent it to the pathology lab. Soon after, Jones discovered she had a malignant epidermoid carcinoma of the cervix Stage 1 (cervical cancer).
Lacks was treated with radium tube inserts, which were sewn in place. After several days in place, the tubes were removed and she was released from Johns Hopkins with instructions to return for X-ray treatments as a follow-up. During her radiation treatments for the tumor, two samples of Henrietta's cervix were removed— a healthy part and a cancerous part— without her permission. The cells from her cervix were given to Dr. George Otto Gey. These cells would eventually become the HeLa immortal cell line, a commonly used cell line in biomedical research.
Lacks returned for the X-ray treatments. However, her condition worsened and the Hopkins doctors treated her with antibiotics, thinking that her problem might be complicated by an underlying venereal disease (she had neurosyphilis and presented with acute gonorrhea at one point as well).
DEATH:
In significant pain and without improvement, Lacks returned to Hopkins on August 8th for a treatment session but asked to be admitted. She remained at the hospital until her death.
Though she received treatment and blood transfusions, she died of uremic poisoning on October 4, 1951, at 12:30 A.M. at the age of 31. A subsequent partial autopsy showed that the cancer had metastasized throughout her body.
BURIAL:
Henrietta Lacks was buried without a tombstone in a family cemetery in Lackstown, a part of Clover in Halifax County, Virginia. Her exact burial location is not known, although the family believes it is within feet of her mother's gravesite. Lackstown is the name of the land that has been held by the (black) Lacks family since they received it from the (white) Lacks family, who had owned the ancestors of the black Lackses when slavery was legal. Many members of the black Lacks family were also descended from the white Lacks family. A row of boxwoods separates the graves of whites from those of the blacks buried in the family cemetery. For decades, Henrietta Lacks' mother has had the only tombstone of the five graves in the family cemetery in Lackstown.
In 2010, however, Dr. Roland Pattillo of the Morehouse School of Medicine donated a headstone for Lacks after reading The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. The headstone, which is shaped like a book, her grandchildren wrote her epitaph:
"Henrietta Lacks August 01, 1920 – October 04, 1951
In loving memory of a phenomenal woman, wife and mother who touched the lives of many. Here lies Henrietta Lacks (HeLa). Her immortal cells will continue to help mankind forever. Eternal Love and Admiration, From Your Family"
RECOGNITION & LEGACY:
●In 1996, Morehouse School of Medicine in Atlanta, the state of Georgia and the mayor of Atlanta recognized the late Henrietta Lacks' family for her posthumous contributions to medicine and health research.
●Her life was commemorated annually by Turners Station residents for a few years after Morehouse's commemoration.
●A congressional resolution in her honor was presented by Robert Ehrlich following soon after the first commemoration of her, her family, and her contributions to science in Turners Station.
●Events in the Turners Station's community have also commemorated the contributions of others including Mary Kubicek, the laboratory assistant who discovered that HeLa cells lived outside the body, as well as Dr. Gey and his nurse wife, Margaret Gey, who together after over 20 years of attempts were eventually able to grow human cells outside of the body.
●In 2011, Morgan State University granted her a posthumous honorary degree.
●On September 14, 2011, the Board of Directors of Washington ESD 114 Evergreen School District chose to name a new health and bioscience high school in her honor. The new school, scheduled to open in the fall of 2013, will be named Henrietta Lacks Health and Bioscience High School. "It is such an honor to name our new school after a person who so impacted the world of medicine and science," said school board member Victoria Bradford, who also served on the naming committee. "It is also a privilege to be the first organization to publicly memorialize Henrietta Lacks by naming this school building after her."
●October 11, in Atlanta, Georgia, is Henrietta Lacks' Day
IN THE MEDIA:
■In 1998, a one-hour BBC documentary on Lacks and HeLa directed by Adam Curtis, won the Best Science and Nature Documentary at the San Francisco International Film Festival. Immediately following the film's airing in 1997, an article on HeLa cells, Lacks, and her family was published by reporter Jacques Kelly in The Baltimore Sun.
■In the 1990s, the Dundalk Eagle published the first article on her in a newspaper in Baltimore City and Baltimore County, and it continues to announce upcoming local commemorative activities.
■The Lacks family was also honored at the Smithsonian Institution.
■In 2001, it was announced that the National Foundation for Cancer Research would be honoring "the late Henrietta Lacks for the contributions made to cancer research and modern medicine" on September 14. Because of the events of September 11, 2001, the event was canceled.
■In 2000 Mal Webb released a CD with a song about Lacks called Helen Lane.
■In her 2010 book, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, Rebecca Skloot documents the histories of both the HeLa cell line and the Lacks family. Henrietta's husband, David Lacks, was told little following her death. Suspicions fueled by racial issues prevalent in the South (see Night Doctors) were compounded by issues of class and education. For their part, members of the Lacks family were kept in the dark about the existence of the tissue line. When its existence was revealed in two articles written in March 1976 by Michael Rogers, one in the Detroit Free Press and one in Rolling Stone, family members were confused about how Henrietta's cells could have been taken without consent and how they could still be alive 25 years after her death.
■In May 2010, The Virginian-Pilot published two articles on Lacks, HeLa, and her family.
■On May 17, 2010, NBC ran a fictionalized version of Lacks' story on Law & Order, titled "Immortal". An article in Slate called the episode "shockingly close to the true story."
■On May 31, 2011 Jello Biafra and the Guantanamo School of Medicine released the CD Enhanced Methods of Questioning with a song about Henrietta Lacks and the HeLa immortal cell line called "The Cells That Will Not Die".
■In May of 2012, self-proclaimed "Middle Eastern-psych-snap-gospel" band Yeasayer officially released "Henrietta", the first single from their third album "Fragrant World". Lead singer Chris Keating reports that Henrietta Lacks' legacy inspired the creation of this song.
LAW & ETHICS:
◆Neither Lacks nor her family gave her physician permission to harvest the cells. At that time, permission was neither required nor customarily sought. The cells were later commercialized.
◆In the 1980s, family medical records were published without family consent.
◆In March 2013, German researchers published the DNA code, or genome, of a strain of HeLa cells without permission from the Lacks family. This issue and Mrs. Lacks' situation was brought up in the Supreme Court of California case of Moore v. Regents of the University of California. On July 9, 1990, the court ruled that a person's discarded tissue and cells are not their property and can be commercialized.
◆In August 2013, an agreement by the family and the National Institutes of Health was announced that gave the family some control over access to the cells' DNA code and a promise of acknowledgement in scientific papers. In addition, two family members will join a six-member committee which will regulate access to the code.

Walkabout (Nicolas Roeg, 1971)
Cast: Jenny Agutter, Luc Roeg, David Gulpilil, John Mellon. Screenplay: Edward Bond, based on a novel by James Vance Marshall. Cinematography: Nicolas Roeg. Production design: Brian Eatwell. Film editing: Antony Gibbs, Alan Pattillo. Music: John Barry. Walkabout is both provocative and provoking. It stimulates thoughts about humankind's relationship to nature, about the fragility and even perniciousness of civilization, and about what happens to everyone as they grow up and learn to "fit in" to societal expectations. It's a film in which brutality jostles beauty. But it's as provoking, as annoying in its way, as a 3-year-old's constantly questioning "Why?" You start out trying to answer, but eventually realize that there's no end to the game. Nicolas Roeg has so loaded the familiar tale of the clash of civilization and the primitive with images and narrative incidentals that defy explanation. We begin with trying to understand the film's initial shock, in which the Father drives his children into the desert for a picnic and then tries to kill them before setting fire to the auto and turning the gun on himself. We want to know what brought him to such a terrible moment, but Roeg has no interest in giving us an answer. We want to know why the Girl so stoically accepts this horror, in the face of which most children would break down. Later in the film, we want to explain interpolated scenes like the one of the scientific crew in the outback -- what are they doing, and why is the one female in the crew so provocatively sexy? And the ending, in which we see the now-grown and -married Girl preparing dinner for her husband, who is crowing about his job advancement, juxtaposed with a scene of the three children playing naked in a pond, has a heavy-handed voiceover quoting A.E. Housman's A Shropshire Lad: Into my heart on air that kills From yon far country blows: What are those blue remembered hills, What spires, what farms are those? That is the land of lost content, I see it shining plain, The happy highways where I went And cannot come again. It feels oddly false and sentimental, an evocation of something untrue to the events shown in the film.  Does Roeg intend this ironic jolt, this disjunction of reality and sentiment? If so, he does little to prepare us for it. It's a fascinating film, but it feels incoherent.

Rex Richard Selters, 80, passed away on Monday, November 25, 2019. Visitation will be held at 10:00 a.m., Saturday, November 30, at First Presbyterian Church, 1100 Austin Avenue, Waco. Following the visitation, a celebration of the Resurrection of our Lord will be held at 11:00 a.m., Saturday, at First Presbyterian. A graveside service will follow at Oakwood Cemetery, 5th and LaSalle, Waco, Texas.
Rex was born May 26, 1939, the third son of Beula and George Selters of Macomb, Illinois, where George was superintendent of schools. Rex graduated from Western Illinois High School in Macomb in 1957. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in 1961 and Master of Arts degrees from Bob Jones University, Greenville, South Carolina. He completed a Bachelor of Divinity degree from Columbia Theological Seminary, Decatur, Georgia, in 1962 and a Master of Arts degree in psychology from Columbia University in New York City in 1968. Moving to Waco in 1969, Rex earned his Ph.D. degree in Psychology from Baylor University.
Rex and Anita Lorene Harvey met in college at Bob Jones University and were married December 28, 1961, in Springfield, Ohio. God has blessed them with 58 years of marriage and two wonderful sons, George Alan and Daniel Harvey. George, CFP, currently is vice-president and senior financial advisor with Raymond James in El Paso, Texas. Dan has worked in the aerospace industry at Johnson Space Center, Northrop Grumman in San Diego, and Lockheed Martin in Fort Worth. At Lockheed Martin he was part of the team that created collision avoidance software which was recently awarded the Robert J. Collier trophy placed in the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum.
Rex was a member of the American Psychological Association, the Texas Psychological Association, and Kiwanis International. He was a life sponsor of Ducks Unlimited.
Rex was ordained a Presbyterian minister in Illinois and served as pastor in Aledo, Illinois, and Brooklyn, New York City. He also preached at many churches in Texas and led youth and adult workshops and retreats.
After completing his doctorate, he spent the rest of his career as a psychologist first with MHMR and then in private practice. During this time he taught seven courses in psychology at Baylor University. He called himself a "pinch hitter" for professors who were away from the university. One of the delights of his career was serving as the primary supervisor of 27 doctoral students in psychology. In this position a student spent a year with the supervisor two days per week witnessing the teacher in practice, and then the teacher supervised the student in performing psychological practices. During this time Rex was also appointed as an adjunct professor in Community Psychiatry at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston.
One of the most interesting tasks of his career was working with local police departments. All Texas law enforcement officers must undergo a psychological evaluation to help determine their suitability for the positions. Dr. Selters conducted hundreds of such evaluations in this county. He also taught in the Waco Police Academy such topics as stress management, race relations, and shotgun employment.

Commissioner Bruce Holmes Youth Foundation Awards Gala!
Oh what a night at the 7th Annual Commissioner Bruce Holmes Youth Foundation Gala hosted by Actor Greg Alan Williams celebrating great community servants in Henry County! Teen boys and girls are connected to education, professions and culture through Project Exposure for Boys and Project Blossom for girls by the CBHYF.
Awards were given to community partners; District Attorney Darius Pattillo, Connecting Henry’s Joyce Rogers, Stockbridge High Principal Dr. Eric Watson, Dr. Edward Lee of Shiloh Baptist Church, Mildred Schmelz, and Ronnie Goodwater. Volunteers and board members of CBHYF were also honored for their contributions. The who’s who of Henry County attended along with officials for Clayton, Rockdale, and Dekalb counties.
The goal for 2018 is to send the teens to D.C, said Commissioner Bruce Holmes , after Holmes was overcome with emotion while spending several hours in the National Civil and Human Right Museum in D.C. He now wants the teens to share the true American history of all Americans.

In the year 2062, the cosmos is kept safe by the World Space Patrol, based at Space City on an island in the South Pacific. One of its key ships, Fireball XL5, is commanded by the brave Colonen Steve Zodiac. He is joined on his adventures by co-pilot Robert the robot, navigator/engineer Professor Matthew Matic, and medical officer Doctor Venus as they protect Sector 25. The ship has a gravity activator, so the crew does not have to deal with the effects of antigravity. The ship uses the detachable nose cone of the ship, dubbed Fireball Jr, for most landing purposes.
