Another adventure for everyone's favourite Time Lord. The Doctor (Colin Baker) and Peri arrive in the north of England during the Luddite uprisings, and discover that brilliant but amoral Time Lord the Rani is stealing the chemical which promotes sleep from the mine workers' brains. The Master is also in town, planning to use the disruptive Luddites to deprive the Doctor of his TARDIS and destroy him once and for all.
The longest 'Doctor Who' story ever. The Doctor (Colin Baker) is
put on trial by his people the Time Lords for interference in the
affairs of others; three segments of his past and future are
presented as evidence. 'The Mysterious Planet' shows the Doctor and
Peri (Nicola Bryant) in a battle with a megalomaniac machine on the
planet Ravalox, but what are the mysterious 'secrets' it protects?
'Mindwarp' shows the Doctor apparently betraying Peri to the vile
Sil (Nabil Shaban) and the Mentors - can the Matrix be falsifying
the evidence against the Doctor? In his defence he presents 'Terror
of the Vervoids', a future story where the Earth is threatened by
evil plant life forms. In the final two episodes, 'The Ultimate
Foe', the Doctor learns the truth about his prosecuting counsel,
the Valeyard (Michael Jayston), and has to enter the Matrix to
battle for his remaining lives. This was Colin Baker's last story
as the Doctor.
After explaining 'What is transgender?' this first book on
transgender in a prison setting looks at the entire HM Prison
Service regime for such people. Ranging from hard information about
rules and regulations, the transition process and how to access it
to practical suggestions about clothing, wigs and hairpieces,
make-up and coming out, the book also deals with such matters as
change of name, gender identity clinics, hormones, medication and
use of prison showers and toilets. Covering the entire transition
process the book contains contributions from a number of
transgender prisoners as well as extracts from reports showing how
those in transition still tend to attract a negative portrayal.
Also included are the special security implications of related
procedures and descriptions of the attitudes to transgender inmates
of other prisoners and staff. It contains a number of appendices
dealing with the latest 2016 HM Prison Service Instruction on
transgender prisoners and a range of support mechanisms including a
list of specialists in the field and other useful reference sources
and contacts.It also contains Sarah Jane Baker's account of her own
male-to-female transition and the difficulties she has faced behind
bars. The first book of its kind. Written by a transgender
life-sentence prisoner. Includes key extracts from the latest
official publications. Contains practical information, advice,
warnings and tips.
Do your legs tremble when you stand in place? Do you find
yourself needing to sit down, so you won't fall? Then you have as
many questions as I do. What is wrong with me? How do I cope with
this? Is there medicine to help? What about physical therapy? What
is this new brain surgery known as deep brain stimulation? Will it
help me? Am I the only one to have this problem?
In my twenty-two-year trek with orthostatic tremor, I have found
some of the answers. A rare neurological movement disorder, OT
continues to baffle medical science. I am sharing my experiences in
order to: 1) help identify orthostatic tremor symptoms, 2) explain
the alternative of deep brain stimulation, 3) describe practical
ways to manage the unique challenges of OT, 4) teach how to cope
with an HMO's process of securing outside referral, and 5) offer
hope for living with a disorder that currently has no cure.
