Original Screenplay by Ronald Davidson, Norman S. Hull, William Lively, Joseph Poland and Alfred Batson. "In 1941, Republic thrilled audiences with perhaps the best jungle serial ever produced. This thrilling adventure was loosely based on the famous novel Jungle Girl by Edgar Rice Burroughs. It starred the very beautiful Frances Gifford as Nyoka, with Tom Neal as the male hero Jack Stanton, and Trevor Bardette and Gerald Mohr as their villainous adversaries. Jungle Girl was packed with thrilling cliffhangers as opposing sides fought from chapter to chapter for a fortune in diamonds hidden in the African jungle. With both Helen Thurston and David Sharpe providing incredible stunt work, Gifford was able to swing through the jungle on vines with the agility of Tarzan, dive from cliffs into alligator-filled lakes, wrestle with man-eating lions, and battle quicksand and poison gas throughout all 15 exciting episodes!" Starring: Frances Gifford, Tom Neal, Trevor Bardette, Gerald Mohr, Eddie Acuff, Frank Lackteen, Tommy Cook Directed by William Witney, and John English.

Her vision had a purpose.  She is "The Child of Thirteen", a figure of prophecy and legend.  Surrounding herself with a band of unlikely companions, they travel the lands discovering the fullness of the prophecy and her place in the world.  There is a force at work against her.  Born of darkness and hatred, "The Child of None" a necromancer and priest of the god of destruction, Dealthagar, is determined to kill her and her companions.

Marna is at a crux.  In her hands lies the fate of the world.  If the Child of None succeeds, "The Reckoning", an apocalyptic nightmare, will come to pass and Marna will be destroyed.  If she is able to triumph, the world will know peace for the first time in generations.

A MARS NEVER DREAMED OF by Kathy Sawyer
National Geographic ~ February 2001 ~ pp 30-51
The more scientists see of Mars, the more mystified -- and astonished -- they are about
the powerful forces that shape its terrain.
Images from the Mars Global Surveyor intensify debates about the
role of water and the chances of finding life.
Polar Ice ~ Wind Features ~ Canyon Layers ~ Faulting ~ Wind Trails ~ Volcanic Activity ~ Impact Craters ~ Water Marks?

"The human perspective on Mars has flickered over the centuries, but in some sense it has always centered on water. Percival Lowell's famous notebooks -- drawn from telescope observations enhanced by a hopeful imagination -- proposed in the late 1800s that vast, engineered canals, or irrigation ditches, carried water from the Martian poles to a mighty civilization concentrated nearer the equator, where the Martian climate was no less comfortable than, say, "the South of England."

A more skeptical assessment by Alfred Russel Wallace in 1907 described a much colder, perpetually frozen place as dead and forbidding as Earth's moon. Still, life-giving waters flowed compellingly through the Mars novels of Edgar Rice Burroughs, while H. G. Wells conjured a race of intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic.

Our first space-age close-up -- a glimpse from Mariner 4 as it swept over a slice of ancient cratered terrain -- revealed a staggeringly inhospitable world."
