Powernomics 101

The book that explains that money buys power, period.  The fish to didn't like freedom of speech became very rich bought up the market.

Whatever label you put on it, the cycle of life will always push and pull you in ways unpredictably. 

Lion King Tibet Flag

Simba has replaced the 'Snow Lions' on the flag of Tibet.  It is funny how the Chinese or rather the Tibet peoples drew lions.  They look more like dogs than big cats.  None...the...less this flag will help the human mind to remember that there are two lions on the flag of Tibet.

To the left is not the Tibet flag.  Spot the difference.  Rather it is the bordered flag of Tibet.  Usually the fly end does not have a gold frame.  Now it is like totally 'Nat Geo.'

White Blood Cell Badge — from Reading Rainbow: Germs Make Me Sick 1986

In 1986 the first cool cartoon about white blood cells depicted as police was broadcast in homes across America with Reading Rainbow, Episode 4 from season 4: Germs Make Me Sick.  In the episode, white blood cells have a badge that is a five pointed white star.  It can be seen on their hats and vehicles.

In this version the portrayal of the immunity response team, antibodies are like police dogs that bite onto foreign criminals.  You can see one police-protein canine unit with a bone in its mouth and another has a spiked dog collar.

Also, a bad guy is being shuttled into back of the the larger Macrophage white blood cell paddy wagon to be executed, but they don't show us that part in the original 1986 episode.  Phagocytes act as judge, jury, and executioner, in addition to being a police-security force.

生命の科学ミクロパトロール or Once Upon a Time...Life — The Antibody Charge Flag

1987 Antibodies on the Defense of the human body since 1,000,000 BC

Once Upon a Time...Life was a 1980s version of Osmosis Jones 2001 or Cells at Work! 2018.  Once Upon a Time...Life was created for European audiences back in 1987.  Unfortunately PBS got the rights to this little gem, consequently much of American youth missed this would have been awesome pop-culture 80s show about immunology.  It would have had a bigger American following if one of the major networks or syndicated channels would have gotten the broadcast rights. This cartoon was an international work of art that made learning about the human body fun.  Nations that made it possible included Spain, Switzerland, Canada, France, Belgium, Italy, and Japan. 

In this episode antibodies are preparing an attack on toxins from bacteria that causes Tetanus.  The standard bearer for the attack is holding a yellow pennant protein flag, directing the other antibody force to where the bad guys are.

To the left is a high ranking White Blood Cell.  Maybe a Helper T Cell?  We don't know, but his badge of identification is a yellow star, which can be seen on his hat and chest.  He also has yellow officer epaulettes on his shoulder.
