[professionalnooneatall]

Everyone Keeps Saying Make Something New, but When I make Something Aggressively New, I Get "not like that,"

I was talking with an Imam once and I asked him how a Muslim would go about doing the Hajj if they lived on Mars. With zero hesitation he said "Get on a rocket and go back to Earth, there's only one Mecca." The quote stayed with me and for over a decade I've been developing a television show around that sentence:

It's the far future. Humanity and our allies live throughout the Milky Way and there are Muslims on every planet where there are humans, which is to say all of them. Let me introduce you to the characters.

Master Fleet Adm. Achmed Abdul Qadir

Regal, bird like, rather tall with a well-trimmed mustache, salt and pepper hair, Qadir is a devout Muslim with a calm “been there done that” attitude from being Nearly 100 years old. Shrewd but compassionate, Qadir applies Islamic jurisprudence as often as possible, resulting in a high degree of compassion. Because of this Qadir was among the first wave of volunteers to fight under the banner of the Alliance first on Mars under NATO/METO and later as Alliance Forces Earth, and finally just the Alliance. Qadir is unflappable in nearly every respect. If he ever uses foul language, it’s not a good sign.

Command Sergeant Major Maya Abdel-Fattah

Lean, lethal and shorter than most people. Always wearing hijab in public. Cybernetic right arm starting at the shoulder. Maya is the strong, silent type. A full Alliance Marine, qualified planet and space she wears the Galaxy Globe and Anchor. Maya was widowed and lost her whole family in a space transport accident and so she transferred to the recently codified Alliance Marine Corps from Alliance Forces Earth Quartermaster Corps. Maya served with the Black Sword Brigade, a particularly tough unit specializing in deep strikes and decapitation attacks. She serves as the senior enlisted on the ship and if there's fighting to be done she can get it done from 1,000 meters to 1 centimeter.

Command Sergeant Major (ret) Robert W. Leary

Hearty, tough, Irish and Black American. Very American military, Qadir’s best friend, so much so Qadir’s actual wife, Jamila, referred to Leary as “My husband’s work wife” when they worked together under NATO and METO military operations before the Alliance conflict. Father died in Corpo Wars, mother retired from the 1st New York Brigade after the North American Protectorate was codified. Leary met probably his closest friend Achmed Qadir while on R&R leave in Iraq, specifically when he attended the completion ceremony for Al-Rahman Mosque is Baghdad. Leary is deeply atheist but very respectful and knowledgeable of many religions; he’s both street-smart and socially intelligent. Leary is also the Alliance Cultural Preservation, Restoration, and Development (CPRD) Officer, ensuring cultural needs and practices are cataloged and practiced, respected, and continued for and by Alliance personnel.

Lt. Cmdr. Dikembe Emenike

Eminke is the executive officer of the Grand Falcon. All four limbs are cybernetic, an aerospace engineer, a race car driver, and Chief Engineer in the construction of the Grand Falcon, the ship that takes Muslims back to Earth for Hajj. Emenike is an accomplished pilot and like most veteran pilots of the war has an absurd amount of flight hours. He was onboard a ship that had to use its jump drive system without calculation and it jumped into a planet’s atmosphere, subsequently crashed and plunged into that planet's ocean. Emenike was among the survivors and due to his actions - using the ship's propulsion to beach the craft on the nearest landmass - the casualties were low.

Master Chief (ret) Paulina Stevens “Boston” Abdur Razzaq

Boston is an Iranian American, punk rocker, with lots of tattoos,  lower jaw is cybernetic, it’s a subtle piece, though, and mostly matches her skin tone. She has close-cropped curly hair and a nose ring. Experienced medic and explosives technician, Boston formed her own contracting company - Iron Pineapple - after the war for “post-war and peacetime operations,” which has an extremely broad definition meaning her team didn't want for work. Boston has been divorced twice, from a man and a woman. She doesn’t do anything by half measures and this extends to her personal relationships. She connects intensely with people and intimate partners are no exception so her command style with her team is often very blunt but compassionate.

Maj. (Dr.) Mohammed Al-Aziz Billah

Dr. Billah, or "just Dr. B," as he would introduce himself, is stocky, bearded, intense, and driven but is kind and has an impeccable bedside manner. Billah is often in a doctor’s coat over his Alliance uniform. He is Qadir’s nephew on Jamila’s side. A devout Ahmadiyya Muslim, Billah saw becoming a doctor as a holy mission. He is a certified physician for both people and earth animals, having studied both sciences concurrently at Penn State. Billah served in Iraqi military as a combat doctor and in between tours he worked with members of the Jain Dharma as a veterinarian. His incredibly wide skill set made him ideal for treating non-human beings and many foundations for combat medical procedures were established by him and other members of The First Medical Fleet which would become Alliance Medical Command. His refrain, "Death Is my Only Enemy," became the official motto of First Medical Fleet, "Death Our Only Enemy"

Special Warrant 2 (ret) Shen She Zhan

Shen underwent sixteen very painful surgical procedures to increase her height and skin grafts to make her skin look like that of the Hiraska aliens whose empire threatened the whole galaxy with facial reconstruction including reshaping her jaws and her eyes were fully replaced. Her cover was blown but she was able to escape however he pod was intercepted by Alliance Forces Earth personnel who didn’t believe she was actually human. Qadir’s ship received the signal and he intervened but not soon enough. Qadir, Leary and Billah were there for her recovery so they are on the very short list of people she trusts, those three serve as kind of her “sounding board” for certain topics and issues. Qadir was furious with the task forces’ treatment of Shen and he disbanded the task force and several senior leaders were relieved of duty. After the war she joined Iron Pineapple and Boston became the fourth person in the galaxy she trusts. This history informs much of Shen's responses and actions. Among strangers, she is very controlled but given the presence of one of the four, she will speak her mind clearly.

Major (ret) Maria Shahid Rodriguez-ChavezMajor (ret) Maria Shahid Rodriguez-Chavez

Latino and Arab Christian. A real technical wiz Chavez can fix anything; hardware or software even if she's unfamiliar with it because she has an intuition about technology overall. Chavez is a trans-woman but presents as masculine in the war flashbacks. She is gradually becoming more and more comfortable with herself but will often retreat into her technological expertise and focus on solving tech problems rather than personal development. She often seeks guidance from Boston, Leary, and Billah. She is estranged from her father but is in touch with her mother and kid brother, who live the Leo City, the domed human settlement on Mars. Her plan settle with them somewhere and open a small business, probably an automotive repair shop and salon.

Senior Command Chief Jamila Qadir

Jamila is a highly experienced nurse with time in ERs, plague zones, and combat zones, and her compassion for humans is matched only by the sheer “lack of fucks,” she gives. Her compassion for people is matched by her husband Achmed, but she will not suffer fools gladly, will not make time for bullshit, and definitely won't stand for your nonsense. She has tried to play matchmaker for Leary on several occasions. It didn’t go well each time. She is often the smartest person in the room as she knows how to apply her knowledge of people learned through being a medical professional in any given situation.

Petty Officer 2nd Class (ret) Akira Shima 

Akira was a quantum navigation systems programmer and he is exceptional at that, having served on many task forces and has a mind for science and tactics but he is largely untested due to getting relegated to "IT bullshit" when he was in uniform. He is motivated to prove himself at every opportunity and is often unorthodox in his thoughts and actions but he is effective and when he combines his abilities with Chavez they are unstoppable. He is very intuitive and empathetic. He understands software interacting with organics as he often had to fix cybernetic limbs in the war when no formal technician was present. Shima is “always on,” and will often wake up in the middle of the night having dreamed of a solution to a problem he may have only heard about in passing.

Valerria Vall

Assigned a special advisor to the Grand Falcon, Vall is a member of the Omega, a race of beings who once fought a Terminator-style war between organics and machines. After about seventy years they realized it was pretty stupid and over time they became a “joint race,” the Hiraska saw them as the greatest threat to their empire and released a plague that destroyed all organic life in their home system. They barely survived and are now fully artificial. They founded the Alliance as an anti-colonial and defensive force against the Hiraska to prevent what happened to them from happening to any other beings. As they connect with new extraterrestrial species they send a representative to study and learn from their cultures, altering their whole physical and mental self to mirror that race to create a deep cultural understanding.

Kimi Running Rabbit

Running Rabbit is part of the new generation of humans that grew up off-world and is the youngest member of the crew. She is part of the Alliance Tribal Nations, a recognized part of the Alliance government’s judicial, social and educational systems. Running Rabbit began as an alliance cadet but the war ended and she spent two more years just training with little engagement against real threats. When she saw the Hajj ship needing volunteers she signed on with an individual contract. Like many other personnel who were born off-world, she’s only heard stories about how vicious earthbound humans were to each other but especially horrible to the indigenous peoples and she hates Earth and doesn't want to ever go there. This mission is the first time she has been around a significant population of earth-born humans. Kimi is well educated in languages, histories, and cultures through the Alliance Primary Education system but she has limits as they are "textbook,"

Lt. Cmdr. Jordan Nusholtz 

Nusholtz is the youngest pilot of the main ensemble and uses direct interphase to pilot vessels. While Qadir uses zero augmentation and Enemike uses maximum augmentation to pilot starfighters, Nusholtz is the middle ground between those two schools of thought/action and will come up with unique solutions within that content. In fact, he has skills and experience on par with Qadir and Enemike despite being at least a decade younger.. He initially joined under a task force assembled by the Israeli Defense Force but they withdrew from the Alliance after Mars was secured and Nusholtz joined the alliance as a pilot - and accepted a three-step demotion due to the nature of the alliance rank structure at the time - to bring the war to a conclusion and in solidarity with his adopted brother Anthony who is Palestinian.

Master Sergeant (Ret) Anthony Sydnor 

A former infantryman turned technical repairman, Sydnor is the Rosencrantz to Cmdr. Jordan Nusholtz’s Guildenstern, with a more absurdist sense of humor and a more practical view of the world. Sydnor is a widower but has three sons who are all in the Majiid initiative. He has a rather dim view of being in space, however, like many humans, he seeks the leave Earth behind and settle on one of the Alliance's home planets or even one of the terraformed planets which could include Venus would be preferable. He is Palestinian American and that informs his cynicism. He runs general supply on the Grand Falcon and if something needs to be acquired, he’s the one to acquire it.

Col. Rashad Ibn-Arai Al-Wali

Col. Al-Wali is the “by the book” type of person who doesn’t care much for individuality. He is an alliance sentience code enforcement officer, meaning he ensures the rights, history and dignity statutes for all living beings are, in fact, assured. Rather like a police officer but personal property isn't the goal. This also makes him the de-facto first contact officer. His personal feelings actually run counter to the sentience codes so in a way the codes are his “check,” to do the right things. The codes were NOT written exclusively by humans so in a way, he seeks guidance from them in much the same way Qadir does with Islam. However, Qadir seeks to justify compassion, kindness and justice whilst Al-Wali tries to justify his personal feelings and gets consistently thwarted.

Teen Cups - Plot Notes Part 26 (END)

Beginning of the comic | Previous

Doudy (mod): These are ideas that still had to be developped and the final scene.

Cuphead wants to help Chalice with her fear. He suggests her to go see the stars. Chalice doesn't want to, as they'd be in the dark.

Cuphead: That's the idea.

Make Chalice hold onto Cuphead for reassurance as they're stargazing, laying on a blanket.

Cuphead gets therapy.

Mugman is healed. The CPRD doesn’t exist anymore, but his body was still weakened by the many times he fell sick, so he’s more fragile than the average and still has asthma, but overall, he’s fine.

Since Cuphead, Mugman and Chalice were absent from school for about a year, they all redo the year together.

About ten years later, Doudy is with Cuphead, Mugman and Chalice at their place. She’s taking notes of their story, Mugman telling her the end.

Doudy: This is so sweet… Can’t wait to draw this ! Now I’ll go to the past, meet your younger selves, and ask them if they wanna create a blog to talk with the readers aside of the comic ! Hoping they won’t freak out…

Mugman: Don’t worry, our world is made of magic. Don’t think they’ll be weirded out much.

Cuphead: Would be nice if you told younger us that everything will be alright. Would save some nerves.

Doudy: I’d love to, but I can’t. As Quadratus told Chalice, if your younger selves knew about their futures, they might act differently than if they don’t know, and time travel paradoxes would follow. Maybe things wouldn’t be alright now.

Cuphead: … Meh, fair enough. I survived. BUT HARDLY! Younger me would hate me for agreeing. But he’s me, so I guess he’s also fine with it? But not on the moment.

Mugman: I’m having a headache.

Doudy: Ok, I’ll create the blog now!

Time travel effect: An arrow going to the left, then back to the right. Doudy (mod): The arrow to the left is basically me going back to the start of this blog and your asks, the comic, etc. The one to the right is me going back to this same scene (the one 10 years later).

Doudy: Their future didn’t change, except Cuphead and Mugman have extra memories with everything related to the blog. Oops! Didn’t think of that. Guess I made a divergence anyway 😅

Mugman: Thanks for sticking with us! It was so cool talking with… people from Doudy’s world… that she doesn’t know either, because it’s online and you didn’t meet in person either, but you share a passion and it’s… cool?

Chalice: I have the headache too now.

Cuphead suddenly appears in the foreground.

Cuphead: BYEEEEEEE!

New Real World Evidence platform extracts data from Electronic Health Records in minutes

[Birmingham] A new piece of software has been launched, that extracts and analyses datasets from Electronic Health Record (EHR) data in near real-time.

Dexter is a spin out from the University of Birmingham and has been developed over a decade of research and development to overcome historic issues surrounding Real World Data (RWD) such as reproducibility, biases, and data quality in health data research.

The proprietary technology utilises Electronic Health Record (EHR) data in near real-time, extracts analysable datasets and delivers insights to research organisations (academic and commercial), healthcare organisations and pharmaceutical firms. Outputs that traditionally take months, can be achieved in minutes.

Dexter has already been deployed for research in secure data environments and hospitals and has assisted in over 120 scientific publications including Nature Medicine and the British Medical Journal.

Notable projects include a data-driven randomised controlled trial in gestational diabetes funded by National Institute for Health Research in collaboration with Cegedim; Real-world evidence research for a number of pharmaceutical companies such as Vifor Pharma and AstraZeneca; Drug repurposing to identify new therapeutic options for Age -related Macular Degeneration (AMD) in collaboration with Action Against AMD, and a long-covid study in collaboration with CPRD and Aparito.

Dexter has developed close relationships with national and international data providers providing access to over 100 million electronic health records and is currently supporting over £25 million worth of grants on a wide range of projects.

Professor Krish Nirantharakumar, Co-Founder of Dexter says: “The power of Dexter and its ability to deliver actionable insights from a wide variety of real-world data (RWD) sources is a huge turning point for the healthcare sector. Our technology will be a critical enabler throughout clinical development, market access, post-market surveillance, care delivery and population health.”

Teen Cups - Plot Notes Part 25

Beginning of the comic | Previous | Next

Cuphead sneaks in the Devil’s office while Henchman keeps watch. Cuphead finds the contract and finds out that it doesn’t say what the Devil said after he lost. But what he initially said, that he only owns the casino money. He calculates. Having worked there for a while, he already refunded it, and even has to be paid, as he worked more than what was due.

He suddenly hears the Devil and King Dice coming back, talking with Henchman, who struggles to keep them out. They eventually enter, making Cuphead hide in a closet in panic. He overhears them talking.

King Dice: Mr. Bell called earlier. He said he’s finally ready to sell his soul in exchange of healing.

The Devil sits down at his desk.

The Devil: Excellent. Creating CPRD is my best move. So good for business!

Cuphead has a horrified look.

Cuphead: *thinking* ”Creating CPRD”?! “Good for business”?!!

King Dice: And scientists struggling to find a cause, it’s hilarious!

Cuphead slams the closet door open.

Cuphead: YOU BASTARD!

The Devil: What the heck are you doing here? You’re in so much trouble!

Cuphead: SHUT THE FUCK UP! YOU’RE THE WORST AND I’M DONE HERE!

Cuphead shows the contract.

Cuphead: I know EVERYTHING. I don’t owe you anythi- Ugh!

He frowns and holds his head. The Devil gets up.

The Devil: *chuckles* And what can you do about it, huh?

He holds Cuphead by the collar and pulls him against his desk. Cuphead struggles to keep balance, letting himself lay down on the desk in an uncomfortable position.

The Devil: You are so pathetic! You can’t even stand, how could you stand against me?

Sky: BROLOM BROLOM

Cuphead: *thinking* Thunder?

The Devil lets go of him, startled and looking scared, looking up. There’s a blackout allowing Cuphead to run away with Henchman, while the Devil gets angry. They get out of the casino. They approach the Inkwell Hell exit. They stop and Cuphead turns back.

Cuphead: I’ll be back for what he owes me. And it’ll be the last time I come here.

Henchman: It’s the first time I leave here.

Cuphead: Really?

Henchman: Yeah. What are all these colors?

They look at the entrance of Inkwell III.

Cuphead: I guess… Those are joyful colors.

As they walk around to go home, Henchman looks everywhere. He points at a candy stall.

Henchman: Hey look! It’s the thing you did once! The apple with sugar!

Cuphead: Heh, yeah. I’ll get you one some time.

Person 1: Oh gee! It’s a demon!

Person 2: What is it doing here?

Cuphead: ...I think people will have to get used to seeing you around...

Later, Cupchal (hand in hand huehue) go see Quadratus, because the CPRD disappeared, and they're surprised, as the Devil definitely didn't plan to obey Cuphead, so they wanna make sure it's over.

Cuphead: Is it really -?

Quadratus: Yes, the illness that made your brother and many people suffer doesn't exist anymore.

Cuphead: But how is -

Quadratus: Despite the Devil refusing to obey a mortal, he isn't the highest entity.

Cuphead: YOU MEAN -!?

Quadratus: The Devil exists, why wouldn't God exist?

Cuphead: But why did he -

Quadratus: They helped you because you are a good person and to make justice. Make things go as the contract says.
