Alpha Blue was a Federation space station for the study of sexual addiction and rehabilitation of its clientele. That was back in the good old days when enjoying sex was for deviants. Behavioral psychologists believed that stimulus overload would cure addictive personality disorder. Simply, give those hopeless degenerates what they crave... seven-fold! And pretty soon, their obsession will burn itself out.It was years before those kinds of theories were debunked and said behavioral psychologists were rounded up with the rest of humanity's failures and blasted into the nearest star. Now decommissioned, Alpha Blue is something akin to an interstellar whore house or "love boat", drifting from planet to planet, acquiring new talent, clients, and security. It's as big as a city, so there's no shortage of wild escapades, interesting characters, lucrative opportunities, and naked throbbing pleasure. Plus, there will be plenty of scenario seeds fleshed out for planet-side shenanigans. Aside from my imagination, I'll be relying on classic sci-fi TV and film inspiration to see my through... such as Blake's 7, (vintage) Doctor Who and Star Trek, Star Wars, Ice Pirates, Heavy Metal, Thundarr the Barbarian, Starchaser: the Legend of Orin, Flash Gordon, Blade Runner, Buck Rogers, Battlestar Galactica, Dune, Saturn 3, Woody Allen's Sleeper, and a dozen more.Contact me at Venger's old school gaming blog for high-resolution Alpha Blue maps... the space station and starship skematics.

The technology needed to travel the multiverse exists in at least 4 known universes, and perhaps more. How can Nina, now stuck in Universe Alpha keep all the infinite universes safe from those looking to exploit this technology? And, if the weight of protecting parallel universes wasn’t enough on her shoulders, she is the primary suspect in the disappearance of Dr. Parker Lovett. Can Nina exonerate herself without exposing the secrets of The Portal? Can she trust her alter-egos to keep watch on their entry point to the multiverse? Can she just get through the first week at her new job without having to worry about the fate of all people living across the infinite universes? Read The Alpha-Nina, the second book in The Feminina Series, and the anxiously awaited sequel to The Infinite-Infinite to find out.

“Generation Alpha” applies to children born between 2011 and 2025. They will be raised in smaller and constantly evolving families, digital natives, more tech-savvy than previous generations, globally-connected, diverse, and will live and interact with many more generations. Because of these differences, the next generation and the nation is transforming in ways that adults have never experienced before. Valora Washington invites you to consider how to advocate for and influence the trajectories of this next generation. Raising Generation Alpha Kids looks at how this generation of young children presents new opportunities and challenges, and supports and informs the two principal groups of adults in children’s lives—their families and early childhood educators.

To An Untrained Mind is a collection of short stories, poems and articles by Robert N Stephenson. These are works written over a 20 year period and have never before been seen, or published. These are imperfect appearances, there are faults with them all, from spellings to typos, from accidents in science and the limitations of knowledge. This book was not created to wow the reader with its prowess but more created to warehouse decades of material. If you have a copy, then you do indeed have a rare bird. Like the old Saab's Robert loves to own and drive, this book is also limited. Severe mental illness has distorted some visions and limited some expressions but never let you be controlled by such conditions, rather take control of them and thrive. The cover for this volume of imperfections is by the incomparable Conny Valentina and inside the image is another story. Rejoice in discovery, and forgive in measure.
