Collen Nyanhongo's hails from Zimbabwe, which means "large house of stone." He comes from a family of Zimbabwe Artists, and learned to sculpt stones from his father, Claude Nyanhongo, who helped create the Zimbabwe Sculpture Movement in the 1950's and 60's, the most prominent art form to emerge from Africa in the 20th century.
Forging his own vision, Collen Nyanhongo transforms traditional figures into metaphorical abstractions. Transcending his past, he's establishes himself as a worldly Artist whose work has been honored in Zimbabwe, France, the Netherlands, Denmark, Australia, Holland, England, Switzerland, Germany, South Africa, and the United States.
Collen sculpts in all sizes, from a 15-ton marble public art project in Fort Collins, Colorado to smaller pieces that demand to be held and caressed. He prefers working with hard stones like Springstone, Serpentine, and Lepidolite, and ships them in from Zimbabwe quarries to wherever he's living and working.
Collen is a bridge maker, crafting sculptures the span varying cultures and languages to sing of human experience and emotion. Honoring simplicity and directness in his life and his art, Collen's work compels viewers to dismantle all that is trivial in their lives and contemplate the vitality of the human spirit.
While Collen's permanent home is in Zimbabwe, he travels throughout Europe and the United States for art shows and gallery events. If you have a desire to learn, Collen is available to teach, offering workshops and individual sessions, in addition to completing commissions and sculpture gardens, throughout the world.

April 25, 2015: Johns Hopkins attacker Ryan Brown (4) celebrates with his teammates during an NCAA Men's lacrosse match between the University of Maryland and Johns Hopkins at the University of Maryland in College Park, Maryland.
Ryan Brown has cemented legacy as one of most prolific goal scorers produced by Johns Hopkins men's lacrosse.
Ryan Brown still has (at least) one game left in his career at Johns Hopkins, but coach Dave Pietramala said the senior attackman has already cemented his legacy as one of the program's most prolific goal scorers.
The Sykesville resident and Calvert Hall graduate currently owns sole possession of second place in school history in all-time goals (159) and hat tricks (27) and ranks seventh in points (209). Brown would be hard-pressed to pass Terry Riordan, who leads in all three of those categories with 184 goals, 37 hat tricks and 247 points, but Pietramala said what Brown has done remains impressive.
Brown has ratcheted up his production for the Blue Jays (8-6), who visit No. 5 seed Brown (14-2) in an NCAA tournament first-round game Saturday at 5 p.m. He has registered 24 goals and nine assists in his past seven games, including a season high-tying seven points on five goals and two assists in a 14-12 loss to Rutgers in Thursday night's Big Ten tournament semifinal.
Pietramala said Brown's effectiveness despite the absence of four of the team's top seven midfielders is a credit to how he has refined his role in offensive coordinator Bobby Benson's system. Now the key is to cultivate similar efforts from Brown's teammates.
While studying film of No. 5 seed Brown at the Cordish Lacrosse Center, Johns Hopkins coach Dave Pietramala was struck by the similarities he noticed between the Bears' run-and-gun offense and a team that showcased the same style in two wins against the Blue Jays.

Southend History
Story Call
Charlie Evans
Commemoration of the 75th Anniversary of the 'Paying Off' of HMS Leigh Photo call!
The Mayor and Mayoress of Southend on the 15th of October will be unveiling a memorial to commemorate the brave men, women and children who served aboard HMS Leigh in WW2 on the 75th Anniversary of the Paying Off of Southend Pier.
Due to Covid-19 restrictions it will only be possible to have a small group at the initial commemoration but any visitor to Southend Pier can pay their respects. Everyone is invited to stand tall at the plaque and say thanks to those who survived those dark and difficult days. Any photographs or words of thanks sent to the HMS Leigh Team and Southend Pier will be included in a remembrance gallery to represent the Southend community.
Cllr Kevin Robinson, Cabinet Member for Business, Culture & Tourism says:
"We have been pleased to continue to find ways to commemorate this year's anniversaries on the Pier with Blade Education and there has been great success with virtual activity remembering 75 years since the end of WW2. We are still working together to find a safe event to deliver during next spring and in the meantime this plaque allows physical visits to link with the anniversary of the Pier's return to its civilian role."
At the beginning of WW2 in 1939 Southend Pier became a Royal Navy shore base renamed HMS Leigh to take charge of all shipping in out of the Thames and the Medway into London. On October 15th, 1945, the Royal Navy handed back HMS Leigh to the people of Southend. By flying a commissioning pennant or masthead pennant, like the ones flown from the masthead of a warship, a Pier became a shore base.
The first convoys of the war came and went from HMS Leigh and the waters off Southend Pier saw ships carrying coal, oil, wood, food, goods and supplies for the heart of the Allied War effort. 24 hours a day and 365 days a year, HMS Leigh stood watch and those who served both military and civilian are remembered by the unveiling of a plaque to their memory and a service of commemoration on the 15th October 2020 at 1200.
When the bombs were dropping and the bullets flying HMS Leigh marshalled thousands of ships and millions of troops together with the fuel for tanks, shells for artillery, bullets for rifles alongside the uniforms, food and supplies necessary to keep the Allied forces fighting for the freedom of us all.
During the dark days of World War 2, from Dunkirk and the Blitz to D-Day and the fall of Berlin HMS Leigh stood solid in the cold waters of the North Sea as the Guardian of the Thames and the Sentry post of London. The commemoration is being organised by the HMS Leigh – Guardian of the Thames project which has received funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund, the Arts Council and private donations to bring the community together to remember those who gave their all to defend their county and to gather the stories of wartime Southend so that they are not forgotten.
HMS Leigh Project Officer Alastair Deacon said, "We ask everyone to stand tall for HMS Leigh and remember those who lived and died during WW2. Just as people in 1939-1945 made it through a terrible conflict, they prove how resilient people can be and how it is possible for us to make it through difficult times as a community in 2020."
Covid 19 restrictions apply – photographs will be available to all outlets from 12:30pm.

Yes, patchnride is completely safe. The Goodyear Tire Company only considers a tire safe to ride after a flat if is patched from the inside. patchnride repairs the tire from the inside without ever removing your wheel or tire.
How many times can I patch a tire?
You can use patchnride as many times as you would like, as long as the puncture does not occur on the same or next to an existing repair. In our test we patched the same tire 4 to 5 times on the same test ride..
What size holes can you patch — what if my tire has a huge hole?
patchnride will easily patch inside holes up to 3mm. If the integrity of your tire through a big cut is compromised, we do not recommend that you attempt to repair or ride on the tire.
patchnride was founded and developed by a group of passionate cyclists ranging from road racers, endurance athletes, mountain bikers, commuters and pleasure riders.
Does patchnride work on sidewall cuts or pinch flats/snakebites?
Where can I purchase patchnride?
Currently you can find patchnride our website. International shipping is available.
patchnride has several patents filed for its technology.
1) Locate the puncture with our leak detector.
2) Remove any debris with the patchnride tool and insert into the puncture.
3) Make sure the tool is fully inserted in the tire and push the go button on the tool and release the Air Seal Patch .
4) Remove the tool from the tire and press down with your thumb on the repair. There will be a little rubber piece sticking out and that's your signal that the repair is complete.
You have now finished a successful permanent repair and can go on with your activity.
How quick is the repair?
With patchnride you will have finished your repair in less than 60 seconds. A traditional repair or permanent patch would take you up to 20 minutes.
No. With patchnride there is no need to use a sealant.
What kinds of tires can patchnride fix?
Patchnride works on tubular, clinchers, mountain bikes, cruisers, tubeless tires, fat tires and running stroller tires.
How can one tool work for all kinds of tires?
Patchnride uses replaceable patch pods. Our patent pending repair system was designed with interchangeable and replaceable patch pods. You only have to determine what bike you own, choose the patch pod accordingly, snap it on the tool and you are all set.
Does patchnride work for tubular tires?
Yes, especially tubular tires. Patchnride is the world first permanent repair on the go for tubular or race tires without ever having to remove the wheel or tire. Before our invention you had to throw away and buy and re-glue a new tire or go through and old fashioned pain staking long repair process by dismounting, un-sewing, and then patching the tire, re-sewing and eventually re gluing the repaired tire. Yes that's what racers did in the 50s and 60s to save some money. Now with patchnride everybody can afford to ride the best tires money can buy.
Does patchnride offer a warranty?
Yes, patchnride has a 3 year warranty on the patchnride tool.
Does the patch pod come with a warranty?
The patch pod has a 1 year warranty and expiration date of 1 year from the date of purchase.
What happens if I lose the patch pod – can I refill it – will it harm the tire inside if it gets lost?
You cannot lose a patch on the inside of a tire. Our patch pods will only release the patch to the inside if properly inserted into the tire. In the case that you lose a patch pod you just have to get out your spare one, clip it on the tool and you are all set again. We recommend bringing at least 3 spare patch pods with you on your ride.
What if I can't work the product? Is patchnride difficult to operate?
The patchnride repair system was designed for people of all ages and experience levels. There is no prior technical knowledge needed!
Has anyone ever failed to operate a patchnride tool?
No; not to our knowledge.
What is the Leak Detector?
The Leak Detector is an invention of patchnride to help you easily and quickly find a puncture or leak in any kind of tire without ever having to remove the tire from the wheel.
You put the liquid on the outside of the tire and the leak detector will show you where the leak is.
Do I need air in the tire to find the leak?
Yes, the tire will need some air in order for the leak detector to work. Most of the time when a puncture occurs there is still some air left in the tire. If you are totally flat just put a little air in the tire, and the leak detector will do the rest.
I have a flat tire. Does that mean my tire is no good?
There may or may not be anything wrong with the tire itself. It is most likely due to a hole in the inner tube.
My tire lost air over the past couple of weeks and I can't find a hole in it. Is that normal?
Yes. It is very normal for a tire to lose air over a period of weeks. This does not mean you have a hole in your tire. You may just need to pump air into your tire(s). Using the patchnride leak detector will give you a definitive answer to this question.
If you use high-pressure tires, you should check the pressure at least once per week. Slow leaks that take more than an hour or so to go down can often only be repaired by replacing the inner tube, since it may be impossible to find the hole.
What causes a tire puncture?
Punctures are caused by running over sharp things, which poke a hole through the tire and into the tube. Punctures may be caused by glass slivers, thorns, nails, bits of wire or other small, sharp objects.
The typical puncture puts a small hole in the tire, which doesn't have a huge effect on your bicycle riding. The fix for punctures is by patching or replacing the inner tube – BUT, don't forget to remove the pointy thing from the tire before you put it back on!
What is a pinch cut?
Pinch Cuts result from hitting stones, curbs, or sharp edges of holes in the road surface. When the tire hits a sharp edge hard enough, it compresses, so that it bottoms out. The inner tube can get pinched between the rock and the rim. Pinch cuts usually put two small holes in the tube. This type of damage is sometimes called a "snake bite", because the two holes look like the wound made by the fangs of a snake.
Will a pinch cut ruin my tire?
Pinch cuts sometimes ruin tires as well as tubes, but usually the tire will not be damaged. However, the impact that causes a pinch cut can also make a dent or "blip" in your rim.
Blowouts are sudden losses of air, usually accompanied by a loud BANG! Since the inner tube is just a rubber balloon, if you pump it up outside of a tire, it will stretch bigger and bigger the more air you put into it, until it pops. The inner tube will not take much pressure by itself. It needs to be held inside of a tire to get up to full pressure. If the tire doesn't hold the tube in all around, the tube will pop.
Do you have a video available that shows me what the patch pod does and how it works?
Yes, a demonstration video is available on our site.
Can I help a fellow cyclist who has a flat at the side of the road?
Yes, as long as they did not take off the tire of the rim. If the tire is still on the rim, even if it's not inside of the frame you can use the leak detector to locate the puncture, mount the right patch pod on the tool for the bike, and your friend will be back on the road in no time. We encourage our patchnride customers to help fellow cyclists who are stranded with a flat. Submit a photo or video to our Facebook page of you helping a cyclist with patchnride and we will send you a free patch pod.
What size and weight is the tool? Can I carry it with me on my bike rides?
Our tool measures 5 inches and weighs less than 100 grams. It was designed to go with you wherever you go. You can carry it in your back pocket, underneath your seat, or in special carrying bags.
Does patchnride have a halter that I can strap the tool to my bike so I don't have to carry it around me every time I take a ride?
We are currently working on solutions for different applications. We are hoping to release an innovative solution by the end of 2014.
How do I get my $ 5 credit?
After you place your order and your card is charged, you will receive an email from patchnride that contains a specific URL referral (a link designed only for you). If anyone clicks on your link and places a pre-order within 90 days of your order, you will be credited with $ 5.
Are there rules for this wonderful patchnride $5 credit on my pre-order?
(i) The person(s) that you refer must fully be charged for their pre-order. Once their card is charged, the $ 5 credit will be sent to you.
(ii) You can only earn up to the value of your pre-order in credits. So, basically, you can get your patchnride for free. The maximum value of your personal referrals is $ 25.
(iii) Even if your referrals place multiple patchnride orders, you still will only receive $ 5 per referral.
(iv) Credits you receive are only for referrals received by patchnride up to and including the first 90 days after you pre-order was placed.
(v) Only referral codes generated by the unique URL you receive after you pre-order will be valid for patchnride credits.
How and when do I get my $5 credit(s)?
Each $5 credit will go back to the same card you used for your pre-order without exception. You will receive an email each time you get a credit for one of your 5 referrals. If there are any issues, we will contact you immediately to make sure you get the credits you deserve..
Does the person who referred me get notified? How?
No. Only the person who placed a pre-order can use the referral link to send to other potential patchnride customers.
Will there ever be a scenario in which patchnride owes me money?
No. You can only earn up to $25 in credits. That's 5 referrals = a free patchnride !
Can I use my credits to purchase anything else on www.patchnride.com?
No. The credits will post to the same card as you used to make your pre-order. You can buy another patchnride if you like with the same card, but the credits are not akin to cash.
What if someone who I referred returns the patchnride ? What is the statute of limitations?
Your credit will be reversed and your card will be charged $5 per return. Up to 90 days out. If someone returns after the 90 days, you will not be charged the $5 return referral fee.

Russia's VTB Bank is suing the oligarch Oleg Deripaska for more than £100m, accusing his holding company of reneging on a loan guarantee.
VTB has filed proceedings at the High Court alleging that Basic Element, the Jersey-based company that manages various Deripaska interests, including his stake in the troubled aluminium giant EN+, has failed to repay money due under loan agreements with two Russian construction businesses. VTB says it lent money to Transstroy-SPb and Nitar, taking guarantees from Basic Element. It says it has served demands for repayment of £103.2m and interest of £445,900, but that the sums "remain unpaid". Transstroy-SPb is now bankrupt, according to the claim.

Skyline Road Homicides, The 90 Beat
Supervisor Don Horsley
Were the dumping of dead bodies, on Skyline Boulevard, foreseeable or something of that order inevitable? Did sheriff's executives fail the community?
The geographic area of Skyline Boulevard, in unincorporated San Mateo County, was formerly assigned patrol deputies to provide line-level law enforcement services for each of the sheriff's office's shifts. It was known as the "90 Beat." The position, that of a deputy sheriff providing patrol services, twenty-four hours a day, 365 days a year, was fully funded for by the County Board of Supervisors and staffed by the sheriff.
Under then Sheriff Don Horsely & Undersheriff Greg Munks, staffing for this position was changed, with the deputies being removed (reassigned) and the funding being used to, first, pay for deputies assigned to East Palo Alto and, later, other pet projects of the sheriff. This practice was continued, first, by Munks who took Horsely's position as sheriff, in 2007, and then Carlos Bolanos who was Illegally Appointed Sheriff July 12, 2016 by the Board of Supervisors and became elected Sheriff in June 2018 sworn in Janruary 2019.
In short, Horsley, Munks, and now Bolanos, respectively, made decisions to leave county residents who live at and about Skyline Boulevard unprotected, without a dedicated patrol officer, because they were deemed to have less of a need, even though the County Board of Supervisors fully fund the position and, I dare say, have the expectation that this was and is being done.
Could the two recent homicides, on Skyline Boulevard, be, in part, the result of no dedicated deputy sheriffs patrolling that area, providing an incentive for those that would engage in crime there? And, in that regard, couldn't the resulting crimes have been foreseeable, inevitable, since there was no dedicated deterrent?
Did Horsely, Munks, or Bolanos ever inform area residents of their decision to divert resources? Did these residents not have an expectation their neighborhood was being staffed and protected by sheriff's patrols?
Had a Deputy not been responding to an unrelated call for service and driven by and noticed the first body, how long would it have been before it was discovered? Shouldn't County residents expect more from current Sheriff Carlos Bolanos? Has he shown the vision, decision making, results, and stewardship residents should expect from the chief executive officer of a $140,000,000 enterprise / budget? Certainly, this should be a question best put to the residents of the 90 Beat?
Another way to view this, isn't such failure of leadership and results by Sheriff Bolanos foreseeable, given his past performance? Shouldn't we both expect and be resigned to it?

Two Murders in Two Days on Skyline. Both involved stabbings. Suspect Arrested and Hospitalized.
San Mateo County Sheriff Deputies arrested a suspect last night after firing at the car he was driving towards them. They had just located a man who was calling out for help, he had been stabbed and died at the scene. The night before they were up on Skyline for another murder case close by and about the same time in the evening.
The man arrested has been identified as Malik Dosouqui of Pacifica and has been hospitalized and not cleared to appear in court yet. Also the Sheriff's Office is still working on both murder cases and have not provided the police reports to the District Attorney's Office yet.
The June 17, 2019 first Murder victim is Abdulmalek Nasher of Pacifica went to the Skyline location in response to a call for service.
The June 18, 2019 second Murder victim is John Sione Pekipaki, of East Palo Alto. He was a Tow Truck driver who also went to the Skyline location because of a call for service.

Costco refuses to release Video or make comment on the killing of Kenneth French by Salvador Sanchez the LAPD Officer.
Salvador Sanchez has been identified as the off duty LAPD Officer who shot and killed Kenneth French. Shot both parents Russell and Paola French, who are in critical condition. It should be noted the LAPD and Corona Police Department have refused to identify Officer Salvador Sanchez for the last 5 days they still have not identified him. Credit goes to the reporters at the LATIMES.
Update: June 19, 2019 Authorities Officially Confirm what I reported yesterday.
The immediate releasing of the Costco Video and the Officers' name is so important to Public Trust. For Five days we still don't know How many shots were fired? Who was shot first? How many shots? Who was shot second? How many shots? Who's was shot third? How many shots? Officer Salvador Sanchez did not claim he was fearful for his life. That came later from his attorney as it always does. Why did he shoot at all?
Why has Costco remained silent. They are not acting like a good neighbor or good citizen.
In San Mateo County last year Chinedu Okobi was killed on October 3, 2018 by 6 San Mateo County Sheriff Employees. Within hours of his death Sheriff Carlos G. Bolanos and his PIO Rosemary Blankswade issued a False News Release that stated as fact "He immediately assaulted the Deputy." Both knew that was a lie, they left that statement on the Sheriff's website for 5 months. The videos were not released for 5 months, as soon as they were the public knew Sheriff Bolanos and the District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe (who supported the false statement) promoted the lie.
Costco release the video today. The public can handle the truth.

Attorney John Burris filed a lawsuit Friday May 31, 2019 representing Maureen Okobi mother of Chinedu V. Okobi who died in Millbrae, October 3, 2018 In-Custody of SIX San Mateo County Sheriff Employees. Four Deputies, one Sergeant and one Civilian. The Civilian CSO Joseph Gonzales was very involved in the physical take down of Chinedu Okobi and can be clearly seen in the District Attorney's video at the 7:18 mark dispensing O.C. Spray. You will also notice on the Government's Video they don't mention CSO Joseph Gonzales either. So he was not investigated period, Why? The D.A.'s Office treated him as a Witness.
District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe's Video
March 1, 2019 Steve Wagstaffe held a private Press Conference for select media, public not welcome. At around 8 minutes into the presentation he stated the Cause of Death by the pathologist to be "Cardiac Arrest". Reporter Julie Small of KQED asked about 40 minutes later "Do you know the manor of death?" Wagstaffe responded "The Coroner of this County labeled it Homicide." Why didn't he say that at the beginning? He went on to say "Homicide occurring during Interaction with that Individual." That means with the Six Employees.
KQED reported that Dr. Rogers determined the cause of Death to be Homicide. I reported that Deputy Coroner Heather Diaz #21 determined cause of Death to be Homicide.

Keck USC School of Medicine, United States.
Pericardial cysts are rare mediastinal cysts and an uncommon cause of cough. Patients are often asymptomatic but can present with cough, dyspnea and atypical chest pain. We describe the case of a 30 year old female with a 3 month history of unexplained cough. Extensive workup and empiric treatment for the standard causes of cough were unsuccessful. More detailed workup including bronchoscopy, endoscopy, pulmonary function testing and otolaryngology evaluation was normal. Computed tomographic (CT) scan and Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the chest revealed a 5.8 cm pericardial cyst in the left cardiophrenic angle. Video assisted thorascopic surgery (VATS) was performed for removal of the cyst and the cough resolved completely postoperatively.

'Angel shots,' cautionary coasters, and bartenders banding together: tackling sex assault at the tavern
Terri Coles
Yahoo Canada News January 16, 2017
Grassroots tools to reduce sexual assault in bars are cropping up across Canada. Photo from Getty Images
About nine years ago, Aja Sax was drugged at a bar in Victoria and sexually assaulted. Not long afterwards she was sitting at a different bar, trying to decide what to do with her drink.
"I remember being at the bar that I was a regular at and sitting there with my beer and wanting to go have a cigarette and not knowing what to do," Sax told Yahoo Canada News.
The bartender let Sax stash her drink behind the bar for safety, but was dismissive about it. She realized that a woman who didn't know the staff like she did might not ask at all.
The experience planted a seed. Now Sax, who is a bartender in Toronto, works to make bars safer for patrons and staff, pushing for training on sexual-assault prevention.
On Monday night, Bartenders Against Sexual Harassment (BASH) will meet at a Toronto bar to raise funds for the Dandelion Project, a plan to train bar staff on sexual assault and anti-assault procedures.
The event brings together some of the many efforts happening across Canada to make bars, nightclubs, and restaurants safer places.
Sexual assault is the only violent crime in Canada that isn't declining in frequency, with StatsCan data showing that rates of the crime remain relatively unchanged from 1999 levels.
Discussion about safety and sexual assault in Toronto bars received new attention last month after two male staffers were charged with assaulting a woman at bar in the city's Little Italy neighbourhood.
Measures like the Dandelion Project and BASH are a way to codify the work women have been doing for years to make themselves safer at bars, Sax says: watching drinks for each other, escorting people to their cars, and intervening when they suspect someone is at risk of being assaulted.
"Women have been self-policing for years," Sax said. "We've been doing that for each other for decades. Someone needs to start doing it for us."
Nationwide efforts
The cross-country work of activists, artists, industry professionals, and politicians on the issue of safety in bars covers the gamut from raising awareness of the issue to lobbying for mandated training on sexual-assault prevention for liquor servers.
Aisle 4, a Toronto-based art collective, partnered with four artists — Jesse Harris, Hazel Meyer, Lido Pimienta, Aisha Sasha John — for On The Table, which will put about 10,000 coasters at ten bars and events in the city during the Toronto Design Offsite Festival, which runs from Jan. 16 to 22.

"I think a lot of very small changes in perspective can happen when you're sitting around chatting with friends," Aisle 4 member Shannon Linde told Yahoo Canada News about the power of having a conversation-starting coaster on bar tables.
"It gives us this opportunity to open people's eyes and then be open to what other people's experiences are like. We are all better off if we start advocating about this."
Aisle 4 worked with White Ribbon, which works to engage men in preventing violence against women, on the project.
"They're very much approaching sexual assault from a very specific position of trying to educate boys and reengage with what masculinity means," participating artist Hazel Meyer told Yahoo Canada News. Bars are a place for conversation, she said, and this should be one of the conversations that happens there.
Other groups are working on grassroots efforts to train bar and restaurant staff in spotting and preventing sexual assault.
In November the student-run bar at Ryerson University in Toronto put up signs similar to ones seen at a bar in the UK, advising patrons to ask a staff member for "Rachelle or Jennifer" if they needed help getting out of an uncomfortable or threatening situation.
One Florida restaurant put up a sign inviting any patron who feels like they're in a situation they need to get out of to order an "angel shot" at the bar, alerting staff they need help to get to their vehicle, call a cab, or phone police.
At the eastern end of the country, the "angel shot" system would be of value in St. John's the head of the St. John's Status of Women Council told CBC News.
The value of the program is not just for patrons who use it, women's council head Jenny Wright told the broadcaster. It also let's bar guests and staff know their safety is important.
Activists in the city are also developing a version of the Safer Bars program initially developed by the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health and used in establishments across the country. And in Vancouver the Good Night Out campaign works with local nightclubs on assault-prevention measures.
There are also signs of action on the municipal and provincial level. Last September, Ontario's government announced $1.7 million would go to train hospitality staff on preventing sexual violence in their workplaces.
In Toronto a motion was passed in November asking the province to add information on assault prevention to the Smart Serve training all Ontario servers are required to take.
But existing measures are voluntary and lack enforcement, Sax said. Training on assault prevention should be mandatory for all establishment staff, she said, and taken as seriously as the prevention of impaired driving is now.
"The choice has to be taken out of it, in my opinion," she said. "It needs to be something like a Smart Serve card, where you need to be certified — and you don't get to serve until you are."

Honda Rolls out the Red Carpet for Developers, Launches Honda Developer Studio in Silicon Valley to Grow App Ecosystem
As part of its ongoing effort to elevate the connected car experience, Honda has unveiled Honda Developer Studio, an online portal and open innovation workspace in Silicon Valley. The portal and garage will enable developers to work directly with Honda engineers to create apps that are road-ready more quickly. The announcement comes on the heels of Google's debut release of the Android Auto software development kit (SDK), which allows Android developers to easily extend their apps to the in-vehicle environment.
Starting in December, Honda Developer Studio will enable app developers to test their Android Auto apps in a prototype vehicle environment and collaborate with Honda R&D teams. The goal is to help developers refine their ideas and accelerate the learning curve for newcomers to the automotive industry by encouraging them to consider "automotive grade" engineering principles, as well as driver safety and privacy – top Honda priorities – from the get go.
"App developer participation in the automotive space has the potential to transform the in-car experience," said Nick Sugimoto, senior program director for Honda Silicon Valley Lab. "We want to foster app developer participation and enthusiasm, and help them dream-up new experiences that will give drivers access to the latest in digital innovation."
Honda Developer Studio is the product of Honda Silicon Valley Lab (HSVL), Honda's open innovation laboratory in the San Francisco Bay Area. HSVL was founded to help accelerate Honda's global information technology research and development efforts, and forge new strategic partnerships with technology companies.
Developers interested in working with Honda should visit the Honda Developer Studio portal online, where they will be able to begin a dialogue with Honda engineers and schedule time to meet the team at a newly built workspace in Mountain View.

Q: Keep spawning object every second I have a function which adds the RandomBlock object to the scene and moves it down the screen.
function enemyPaddleMovement()
{
scene.add(RandomBlock);
RandomBlock.translateX(-8);
}

RandomBlock is made by this code:
var shapes = [LeftBlock, RightBlock, middleRightBlock, middleLeftBlock, middleBlock];
var shape = shapes[Math.floor(Math.random()*shapes.length)];`

RandomBlock = new THREE.Object3D();
RandomBlock.add(shape);

What I want to do is to keep spawning a new RandomBlock object every second and move it down the screen. Ive tried using setInterval but it only replaces the same RandomBlock object rather than creating a new object everytime.
any Help?

A: You need also to store this new Object. I think that you overwrite old object that is why is recreated.
Instead of RandomBlock you can have BlockContainer which will be a list.

A: This problem actually doesn't involve Three.js at all; it's just that you are not making any new objects, you are reusing the same one many times. Try something like this instead:
// this line stays outside the function
var shapes = [LeftBlock, RightBlock, middleRightBlock, middleLeftBlock, middleBlock];

function enemyPaddleMovement()
{
    var shape = shapes[Math.floor(Math.random()*shapes.length)];
    var randomBlock = new THREE.Object3D();
    randomBlock.add(shape);
    scene.add(randomBlock);
    randomBlock.translateX(-8);
}

Note that there are no longer any mentions of randomBlock outside the function. This is because it is an object for that one call of the function and is unique to it.
I'm assuming you wanted to pick a different shape for each new object. If you don't, then just move var shape = ... back outside the function.

So if you are thinking of giving a redo for your workplace to make it seem livelier and also give an attitude boost to your employees there are several things that you would need to consider. One of them, and one of the vital ones, will be the type of furniture to add to the workplace. You can use the old furniture but your will need to update the broken ones so here are some tips to keep in mind.
Make sure to get your measurements right and double check with the new office fitouts service you are using so that you do not end up with overlarge or too small items in your workplace. While you can get the items fixed again or go for a refund it takes time and will end up making your head be in a mess. Also if you are going for custom made furniture then make sure to check with employees if they need more shelves, drawers, mobile legs for their furniture, leg space and other items that need to be specified precisely.
The need of new furniture should be focused mainly on areas where new people are glancing at. So your hallway/ reception will need new furniture as well as the areas where the clients frequent. Make sure to add some new appliances to the break room to keep your employees happy too. And also ask for any extra requirements and give them consideration to see if that will significant affect the productivity of the employee and make a decision.
This goes with buying new furniture and painting the place. The areas where the new clients and newcomers end up looking at the most should be redone with care, and also aesthetic appeal should be the highest in these areas.
Do not try too much and end up cluttering up the workplace. Keep to a simple concept which also goes with the modern concepts.

Q: $d(x,Y)=0 \ \iff \ x\in\overline{Y}$
Let $(X,d)$ be a metric space and $\emptyset\neq Y\subseteq X$. For $x\in X$ define $d(x,Y)=\inf\{d(x,y)|y\in Y\}$
Show: $d(x,Y)=0$ iff $x\in\overline{Y}$

Proof:
We have,
$d(x,Y)=0\Leftrightarrow \inf\{d(x,y)|y\in Y\}=0\Leftrightarrow\forall\varepsilon >0 \exists y\in Y: d(x,y)<\varepsilon$
$\Leftrightarrow \forall\varepsilon>0:B_\varepsilon(x)\cap Y\neq\emptyset\Leftrightarrow x\in\overline{Y}$
Completing the proof.

Q: Linked assembly subroutine doesn't work as expected I'm writing a simple subroutine in FASM to print 32-bit unsigned integers to STDOUT. This is what I came up with:
format elf
public uprint

section ".text" executable
uprint:
    push ebx
    push ecx
    push edx
    push esi
    mov  ebx, 10
    mov  ecx, buf + 11
    xor  esi, esi
do:
    dec ecx
    xor edx, edx
    div ebx
    add dl, 0x30
    mov [ecx], dl
    inc esi
    test eax, 0
    jnz do
    mov eax, 4
    mov ebx, 1
    mov edx, esi
    int 0x80
    pop esi
    pop edx
    pop ecx
    pop ebx
    ret

section ".data" writeable
    buf rb 11

Then I wrote another program to test whether the above subroutine works properly:
format elf
extrn uprint
public _start

section ".text" executable
_start:
    mov eax, 1337
    call uprint
    mov eax, 4
    mov ebx, 1
    mov ecx, newline
    mov edx, 1
    int 0x80
    mov eax, 1
    xor ebx, ebx
    int 0x80

section ".data"
    newline db 0x0A

I compiled both these programs to their corresponding object files and linked them to create the executable.
On executing the program however it only displayed 7 instead of 1337. As it turns out only the last digit of the number is display regardless of the number itself.
This is strange because my uprint subroutine is correct. In fact if I combine both these programs into a single program then it displays 1337 correctly.
What am I doing wrong?

A: I gain the distinct impression that your LINK operation is building the uprint before the _start and you're in fact entering UPRINT, not at _start as you expect.

A: I found out my mistake. I'm using test eax, 0 which always sets the zero flag. Hence only the first digit is processed. Intead I need to use either test eax, eax or cmp eax, 0.

Gianna Nannini (Siena, Toscana, ) es una cantante y compositora italiana de música rock. Es una de las más importantes representantes del rock italiano con temas tan célebres como «Bello e impossibile», «Aria», «Profumo», «Centomila», «Ragazzo dell'Europa», «Sei nell'anima», «I maschi», «Io» y «Meravigliosa creatura», entre otros. Se hizo mundialmente conocida por cantar junto con el cantautor italiano Edoardo Bennato, la canción «Un'estate italiana» («Un verano italiano»), himno oficial de la Copa Mundial de Fútbol de 1990.

Biografía
Segunda de tres hermanos, hijos del empresario de la industria confitera Danilo Nannini (1 de agosto de 1921-15 de febrero de 2007) y de Giovanna Cellesi (1923–2014). Sus hermanos son Guido y Alessandro Nannini, expiloto de Fórmula 1.

Estudió piano en el Conservatorio de Lucca y después se mudó a Milán para dedicarse exclusivamente a su carrera musical. En 1976 publicó su primer álbum con la discográfica Ricordi aunque el primer éxito lo obtuvo con el sencillo «América», incluido en el álbum California y que abrió a la cantante el mercado intercontinental. Sobre todo gracias a la colaboración con el productor Conny Plank, con quien participó en la banda sonora de Sconcerto rock y Latin Lover, un gran éxito internacional, donde el rock de Nannini llegó a ser mucho más europeo.

El fenómeno comienza en 1984, año en el cual salió Puzzle, su sexto disco. Realizó el vídeo de «Fotoromanza», para después partir con una gira europea de gran éxito. Entre otros, participó en el Festival de Jazz de Montreux. Entre agosto y octubre, estuvo en gira en las mayores ciudades italianas, unos 40 conciertos, con un total de aproximadamente 300 000 espectadores. «Fotoromanza», ayudado por el vídeo, saltó al primer puesto de la clasificación por dos meses, mientras Puzzle estuvo durante seis meses entre los diez primeros puestos de la lista italiana de álbumes. El disco estuvo también en los primeros puestos de las listas de Alemania, Austria y Suiza (donde Gianna recibió el disco de oro). Con la misma canción, Gianna venció el Festivalbar.

En 1986 salió el álbum Profumo, cuyo sencillo «Bello e impossibile», consiguió dos discos de platino en Italia, el disco de oro en Alemania y el de platino en Austria y Suiza. Al año siguiente, la compilación Maschi e altri vendió otro millón de copias. En 1990 grabó la canción «Un'estate italiana», famosa canción de la Copa Mundial de Fútbol de 1990. Gracias a esta composición, se dio a conocer en todo el mundo.

Se licenció en 1994 en la Facultad de Letras y Filosofía de la Universidad de Siena con las notas más altas de la promoción. Al año siguiente apareció en un balcón del Palacio Farnese, sede de la embajada francesa, e improvisó un concierto en protesta contra la decisión del gobierno francés de reanudar los experimentos nucleares en el atolón de Mururoa.

06.05.2019 And Baby Makes Three: Estate Planning in the Age of "ART" By: Mary Rennie Rowe "M.R." Litman
In recent weeks, NBC News meteorologist Dylan Dreyer shared her personal story about secondary infertility, Food Network star Katie Lee posted about her experience with in vitro fertilization on Instagram, and Bravo host and executive producer Andy Cohen announced the birth of his son via surrogate. What each of these celebrities has in common with hundreds of thousands of Americans is the use of assisted reproductive technology ("ART") to grow their families.
ART includes a range of medical procedures to assist with the conception of a child by means other than sexual intercourse. Physicians use ART to address infertility and genetic risks, to cryopreserve genetic material, and to help same-sex couples and individuals without partners to conceive. The number of individuals benefitting from ART is growing. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Health Statistics, 1 in 8 couples has trouble getting pregnant or sustaining a pregnancy.[1] In 2016, U.S. fertility clinics reported 263,577 ART cycles, which included cycles for transferring embryos for pregnancy and cryopreserving resulting eggs and embryos for potential future use.[2] By comparison, ten years earlier, U.S. fertility clinics reported 138,198 ART cycles—nearly half of the number of cycles.[3] More than 1,000,000 babies have been born in the U.S. through the use of ART, and there are an estimated 700,000 to 1,000,000 frozen embryos sitting in storage.[4]
In Virginia, the Assisted Conception Act (the "Act"), codified in Virginia Code §§ 20-156 to 20-165, determines the status of children conceived through ART. On March 14, 2019, Governor Northam approved House Bill 1979, which makes several changes to the Act, including (1) the replacement of the terms "husband" and "wife" with gender neutral terminology, such as "spouse"; (2) the substitution of the term "intended parents" with "intended parent," to permit an unmarried individual to become a parent; and (3) allowing intended parents to use donated or "adopted" embryos. House Bill 1979's changes go into effect July 1, 2019.
Because an increasing number of couples and individuals are using ART to grow their families, and ART not only impacts those couples and individuals' estate planning, but the estate planning of their parents and grandparents, ART has a profound effect on the way estate planners draft documents to best carry out their clients' wishes. As ART becomes more sophisticated and the use of ART becomes more common, estate planners are tasked with defining "parentage" and "descendants" for inheritance purposes and planning for the ownership and control of cryopreserved genetic material.
There are several types of "parentage," including genetic parentage, gestational parentage, and adoptive parentage. Every estate plan should define "parentage" and "descendants," paying special attention to how the definitions impact children and more remote descendants conceived through ART. While it is imperative to focus on a client's current family circumstances, it is also important to consider how the definitions of "parentage" and "descendants" impact future generations, as well as how ART impacts an estate plan if an unfortunate life event occurs, such as a divorce or a spouse's premature death. There are numerous cases involving the ownership of frozen embryos upon a couple's divorce, which include questions regarding the resulting parentage of a child born after the divorce. In addition, many clients are unaware of the consequences of executing form parentage agreements prepared by fertility clinics, which may not consider the myriad of estate planning issues included in ART. There are also numerous cases regarding the inheritance rights of posthumously-conceived children and more remote descendants.
Estate planners and clients should consider the impact of ART on an advance medical directive. An advance medical directive not only serves as a health care power of attorney, permitting an agent to make health care decisions on behalf of the incapacitated principal, but it can also serve as a living will and provide directions regarding gifts of organs and other genetic material upon the principal's death. An advance medical directive can include a client's instructions regarding the acquisition, disposition, and control of genetic material upon the client's incapacity or death.
In the age of ART, a comprehensive estate plan includes definitions for "parentage" and "descendants" that are consistent with the client's wishes and state law. If a client has used ART or suspects that he or she will use ART, the estate planner should also contemplate the acquisition, disposition, ownership, and control of genetic material through specialized language inserted into the will, advance medical directive, and trust agreement, if applicable. If a client has already executed a form agreement provided by a fertility clinic for the use of ART, the client and his or her estate planner should review the agreement to ensure that it is thorough and consistent with the client's wishes and estate plan.

Your house is like an extension of yourself, and it's understandable why you would want to be involved in every aspect of its maintenance and upkeep. You might even fancy yourself a do-it-yourself guru.
But while that's impressive in itself, there are some things that you should leave to the experts. It's relatively easy to paint your own walls, refinish your floors, assemble your furniture, or even remodel a room. These aren't easy household tasks, but they're manageable. Electrical systems, on the other hand, are a different matter altogether. They're complex and even dangerous when handled by inexperienced hands.
While electrical work is a useful skill to have, it's still a skill that you have to learn and commit to. It's not a simple ability that you can acquire after reading just one book or watching a few videos on YouTube. And even if you dedicate more time than usual to this craft, you would still need years of experience to confidently work on electrical wiring, installations, or upgrades.
And since this is their field of expertise, professionals are sure to get up-to-date training, knowledge, licenses, and permits — things that would require even more time on your end.
Also, you know how time flies when you're having fun? That rarely happens when you do electrical work. And besides, you have errands to run and obligations to attend to. Hiring a local electrician would allow you to do those things instead.
What's the biggest factor that would probably make you want to choose the DIY approach? It's when you put cost into the equation. Getting expert help can be expensive. Doing it yourself would help you save. But if you think about it, professional electrical services are only expensive in terms of the upfront costs.
Investing in quality installation or systems can help you save money in the long run. You get it right the first time and you won't have to worry about the lack of quality which may or may not lead to you spending more money down the line. You don't want to end up with electrical work that's more complicated and expensive to fix.
You also have the option to cut back on services. If you want, you can have your circuits correctly mapped beforehand, so the electricians won't have to do it for you.
It's simple. Electrical work can be dangerous. If done incorrectly or haphazardly, it can lead to physical harm and even structural damage.
For electricians though, this is their bread and butter. It's almost second nature to them. They know enough about the job at hand. They know the risks and potential hazards. And most likely, they will offer some kind of guarantee or insurance.
While doing everything yourself can be fulfilling, hiring a professional can offer you the confidence of a job well — and safely — done.
In a nutshell, some things are worth the investment and that includes electrical work. It might be tempting to do it all yourself (and if you're an expert, by all means, go ahead!), but you have to choose the option that results in long-term optimum results. Hiring a professional is an option that would reduce electrical problems for your home in the future.

Artist Statement A snapshot of rural life in southeastern Pennsylvania. My mom was an artist and was always drawing and creating. You name it, she did it - drawing, painting, carving, sewing, she did it all. I have lots of her artwork around my house which is very precious and irreplaceable since she passed away. I inherited some of her creativeness but in other ways. I can't paint portraits the way she did but I dabble in other things. I crochet, make jewelry, I can paint a bit, am learning how to sew, and I love taking pictures. I've always been interested in photography and try to take the camera along with me where ever we end up. You never know when you will come upon something that makes an excellent picture. I almost always have the camera with me at the barn.

Interview: Warren Ellis on FreakAngels, Webcomics and Doctor Who
by Rick Marshall · July 3, 2008
For anyone familiar with the online presence of award-winning writer Warren Ellis, it came as no surprise when the author announced at last year's San Diego Comic-Con that he would be scripting an original, ongoing webcomic hosted by Avatar Press and titled FreakAngels. The concept, the preview art and even the name of the series all seemed quite, well… Warren Ellis.
What has been surprising, however, is the ease at which the longtime print author has adapted to the online medium and managed to create a compelling, unique series with very few blips in the weekly schedule he set for himself and FreakAngels artist Paul Duffield. At a time when top-tier print titles are failing to meet monthly schedules time and time again, Ellis and Duffield have managed to create a consistently compelling, unique series worthy of mentioning in the same breath as many of the more established webcomics out there. The fact that the series also has Ellis' considerable online savvy and the resources of an up-and-coming publisher like Avatar behind it only makes the entire package even more intriguing to anyone with an interest in the digital evolution of the medium.
Avatar afforded me a few minutes to speak with Ellis during the recent Wizard World Chicago convention (where he was the event's Guest of Honor), and I was glad to have the opportunity to ask him about FreakAngels, his thoughts on the online publishing scene, and how it all relates to traditional British storytelling.
COMICMIX: Coming from the print side of the industry, did your creative process change much for FreakAngels, Warren? How did the new medium affect your routine?
WARREN ELLIS: The only thing that has really been affected is the length of the episode. But even then, I'm not really writing with six pages in mind so much as I'm writing with 144 pages in mind. I'm writing FreakAngels in 144-page blocks, so I'm really keeping my eye on the bigger picture as opposed to keeping an eye on the ending of page six. So really there's been no change at all.
I've kind of refused to change. [Laughs]
CMix: Why the decision to work in six-page blocks? Does this story lend itself to that format, or is there another reason why six pages seemed appropriate?
WE: I grew up with British comics. British comics were weekly anthologies and they were full of stories that were around six pages. So I'm being a proper British writer by doing my weekly science-fiction comic, and I'm doing them in six-page episodes.
CMix: The setting of FreakAngels is really a character of its own, and there tends to be a lot of panels devoted to showing the watery world of FreakAngels. Is the series more about the characters, or the world they live in? Does one take precedence over the other in your mind and have more of a say in determining where the story goes?
WE: It's both, quite frankly. You can start a story from any given point. In fact, I started with the idea of the Midwich Cuckoos [from the John Wyndham novel]. I started wondering what would've happened if they had survived to become disaffected 20-somethings. That was the genesis of FreakAngels and I've worked forward from there.
But no, it's as much about characters as it is about the place.
CMix: Are there any particular characters you have a fondness for, or any characters you look forward to scripting when it comes time to do so?
WE: KK and Karl, simply because they're just so pissed off. They're proper British fiction characters. There's a particular kind of British hero, from Sherlock Holmes through someone like [Dr. Gregory] House.
CMix: That's interesting, as you've categorized House as a very British hero in the past…
WE: Yes, they're too clever for their own good and they're just really pissed off about everything. You can draw a line through British fiction, through Inspector Morse, Jack Regan of The Sweeney
, and through '60s television. It runs all the way through Sexton Blake and Bulldog Drummond
. It's a particular British kind of hero, and KK and Karl are really the epitome of that. They're just pissed off about everything and everybody.
CMix: I guess we see flashes of that in today's Doctor Who
, too, don't we? Although he's a bit more whimsical than some of the other characters you've mentioned, but still too clever for his own good…
WE: Oh, sure… but there were various iterations of Doctor Who, and often these were big, shouty people. David Tennant tries to pull it off, but doesn't quite. He still gets angry. When Tom Baker as The Doctor lost his temper, he would just blow the doors off the room. He would get pissed off at everyone. William Hartnell, the first Doctor, that character had to be stopped by the other characters from killing someone.
CMix: I've been re-watching some of those episodes recently, and I'm always amazed that the program lasted the way it has, because Hartnell's character was, well… mean.
WE: Exactly. He was a mean, old man!
CMix: With your experience on the 'Net, you seem uniquely suited for a project like this. What are some of the mistakes you knew to avoid that you've seen less online-savvy creators make when trying to move comics onto the grid?
WE: Site design is essential. If you're doing a webcomic, I shouldn't have to hunt for it when I come to your site. And I've seen more than one of those. I shouldn't have to hunt to find previous pages or episodes, and I've had to do that more than once.
There are a dozen different mistakes in website design that people seem to fall into quite easily.
CMix: Like using Flash animation?
WE: Yes, like Flash animation… or filling the sidebars with stuff that makes the page load slower. You can't wait for the page to load. The page has got to come up clean and fast.
CMix: What has FreakAngels taught you about the online medium and webcomic culture?
WE: I've noticed that webcartoonists in general are basically pretending FreakAngels doesn't exist. It's always, "Oh, it's just a print comics guy doing his comic on the Web. He's not one of us. He's not like us."
CMix: Well, this interview is part of the same series in which I've spoken to Rich Stevens, Jeffrey Rowland and more established webcomic creators, so maybe that will change…
WE: Oh, Rich has been great, actually…
CMix: On that note, who are some of the comic creators you find interesting around the 'Net?
WE: In terms of webcomics? Jeff Rowland and Rich Stevens, Natasha Allegri when she was doing webcomics — although she's not doing them so much now, but when she was, she was very good. It's been great to see people like Hope Larson coming out of webcomics. I think Hope is terrific. I think she's going to turn into one of the major graphic novelists in the next five years.
CMIx: It's not unusual for webcomic websites to have their own message board, but you've been hosting very active forums long before FreakAngels. Now that the WhiteChapel forums are gaining momentum, can you tell me some of your thoughts regarding the use of message boards in conjunction with webcomics?
WE: Well, because FreakAngels is on the Web, it obviously invites conversation — because that, by and large, is what the Web is for. So it makes sense, if nothing else, to provide a place for people to talk about it.
CMix: Paul Duffield seems to be doing a great job with the art thus far. Has he shown you anything that's really surprised you — something he added to a scene that maybe you didn't have in mind initially but enjoyed?
WE: The level of detail in his work and in the way he uses colors has been astonishing. I will ask him for difficult stuff… difficult descriptions. I will ask him for very difficult facial expressions, particularly, and I do it more now because I know he can pull it off. So I'm probably driving him insane at this point.
CMix: So, on a completely unrelated note, will we ever see a sequel to Crooked Little Vein?
WE: No. I have no intention of writing a sequel.
CMix: And finally, here's one to end on: Is the Internet going to destroy comics or save them, Warren?
WE: It will only destroy comics if comics let it.
New episodes of FreakAngels are posted every Friday on www.freakangels.com. You can also check in with Warren Ellis on the 'Net at www.warrenellis.com, where you'll find information about all of the various places the busy author can be found around the Worldwide Tubes.
FreakAngels is hosted by the good folks at Avatar Press, who provided this opportunity to speak with Ellis and offer a variety of ongoing titles in print featuring the work of Ellis and many other excellent writers and artists. (I highly recommend Black Summer.)

Doctor Who "The Day of the Doctor" to be simulcast in 3-D theaters
ComicMix Quick Picks: June 4, 2011
Here are your 2011 Harvey Award nominees
Mike Gold says:
William Hartnell's Doctor was such a complete bastard that he was a joy to behold — a hero who was an asshole to his enemies, to his friends, to the children, and even to his future selves.That might not be a big deal today, but in 1963 that was a real shock to the system. Kids used to hide behind the couch when the Daleks vacuumed into the room? Hell, they should have hidden from Hartnell. But Hartnell's Doctor was also vulnerable in the way our ancient grandfather types are vulnerable. He would frequently collapse in despair before figuring out how to save the day. Both those characteristics have remained, in varying degrees, in the future Doctors' catalogs.
Rick Marshall says:
Yes, despite the limited length of time I had available to speak with Warren, I couldn't resist asking him a bit about Doctor Who when the opportunity presented itself.
Robotic Vacuum Cleaner Reviews says:
Just came upon this and I have not read Warren's online comic yet but I am a big fan of Transmetropolitan, so I will def check it out. I like the fact that he is doing the comic in 6 page intervals and the reason he gave was because he grew up reading British Mags with 6 page stories. I am assuming he is talking about Magazines such as 2000 AD. I liked reading the reprints of Judge Dredd from 2000 AD when I collected Comics in the 80's.

Deborah was both a prophetess and a civic judge, one of the few godly leaders from the book of Judges. Her boldness and faith encourages us to pray big, dream big and act big-stepping out on faith and trusting a big God.
We learn much about misguided faith and a skewed view of God from reading the story of Jephthah, who made a foolish vow to God and murdered his only daughter. Toxic faith leads to deal-making with God, an obsessive devotion to the religious life, to formulaic faith. Toxic faith ALWAYS hurts others, and destroys our intimacy with God. CLICK HERE for YouVersion notes.
The Book of Judges in the Old Testament – contains cycles of crisis management among God's people. Their pattern is to follow God closely after God delivers them, and then they forget and wander away from God. The story of Ehud teaches that a life of faith means taking risks for the sake of growth. YouVersion Notes HERE.
Often when God calls us forward, He will first stretch us backward. God is always calling us forward in partnership with Him.


East Haven celebrates its win over Career Magnet in Class M Girls Basketball Championship action at Mohegan Sun Arena in Montville, Conn., on Saturday Mar. 17, 2018.
UNCASVILLE — Two times earlier this season, East Haven figured out a way to top Career. The third time the teams met did not look as if it would go the way of the Yellowjackets.
Then, the group of Kylie Schlottman, MaKenzie Helms, Olivia Coyle and Isabella Ragaini took over. Battling back from eight points down with 3 minutes, 10 seconds to go in regulation, Ragaini capped a vintage comeback, draining a bucket from six feet out as time expired to cap a wild 49-47 East Haven victory in the Class M final at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville on Saturday.
The title for the Yellowjackets was the first in the program's history and caps a season in which East Haven finished 24-3.
Trailing by six points after Helms drained a pair of 3-pointers, East Haven got within three at 45-42 on a 3-pointer by Helms. With the pressure on the Panthers, the game turned in an instant when Coyle converted a steal into a layup to cut the Career lead to 45-44 with 2:15 to go in the fourth quarter.
The Yellowjackets used a 10-0 run, which ended with a pair of free throws by Schlottman, and another by Ragaini for a 47-45 East Haven lead with less than a minute to go. Career would not go away and evened the game when Carmen Rosemond drained a shot with 14.8 seconds left in regulation.
The rest was up to Ragaini. Coming off a set play, Helms' shot hit the rim and was tipped back by Schlottman. With a perfect read off the wing, Ragaini raced in and grabbed the rebound untouched, before draining the winner as time expired.
For three quarters, the Panthers (17-10) did their best to contain Schlottman and Helms, holding Helms to just five points and Schlottman to 14 with a variety of defensive looks. During that time, Career used an 8-0 run, led by a 3-pointer by Yariliz Santiago, for a 25-19 lead. When Ciara Little connected in the final seconds of the quarter, Career led 35-26 with eight minutes to play.
Both teams struggled from the floor in the first half and only managed 35 combined points. The Panthers shot just 13 percent (2-of-16), while East Haven was just a bit better at 25 percent (3-of-12).
For the Yellowjackets, it was the play of Ragaini early as she scored three points in the opening quarter, but more importantly drew three Career fouls early. With Ragaini doing the work inside in the opening quarter, Schlottman scored the final four points for a 9-6 East Haven lead after eight minutes of play.
East Haven had the biggest lead of the first half, twice taking leads of five points, at 11-6 on a bucket by Schlottman and 13-8 on Schlottman's two free throws.
The Panthers quickly washed that deficit away, going on a 9-2 run. Kayla Franklin opened the run with a bucket, and Rosemond connected for the final four points to give Career a 17-15 advantage with 2:31 left in the opening half.
East Haven capped the second quarter on a run of its own, scoring the final three points for an 18-17 lead after Schlottman evened the game with a bucket and Coyle gave her team the lead with a free throw late in the half.
Schlottman led all scorers with 20 points, and added seven rebounds. Helms had 17 points and seven boards, while Ragaini finished with six points and four rebounds.
Rosemond led Career with 13 points, four rebounds, and four steals, while Santiago had 11 points and Hargrove 10 points and seven rebounds.
Congrats to EH. What a fantastic game. Shout out to Career. They fought to the end.
Congratulations East Haven.big win tonigjt.!! The girls fought till the end. I also would like to congratulate Career for giving us a good game. I want to tip my hat of to Rosemond and her toughness ,. A young lady that doesn't get the recognition she deserves..
But once again we'll have Helms and Rags both a year older… along with the freshman big who Russell actually threw into the game at one point.
First, I wasn't at Mohegan, so I'm going off just the Twitter feed comments and cell phone videos. Second, full disclosure: I was rooting for Career as the underdog.
Sounds like Career, with 9 point lead at end of 3rd quarter, played the 4th not to lose rather than to win. That NEVER works. Always backfires. As the 'dog with the lead, Career should've gone for broke. Aggressive at both ends. Lean forward. In first 3 quarters, they doubled Helms and forced ball out of her hands. Good strategy. (EH only had 26 pts after 3!) Helms is best playmaker on the court. Limit her, win the game. But in the videos of Helms hitting 2 threes in the 4th Q, she gets clean looks — no contest. Those are big time shots, and all credit to her for knocking them down. But she should NEVER have gotten clean looks. Should've been doubled every time she touched ball…doubled on every high pick and roll…and chased off the 3 point line at all costs. Make her go to the hole. Make her give up the ball. Force someone else on EH to beat you. "Anyone but Helms" should've been the mantra.
As far as I can tell, Hargrove had no real impact in the 4th Q, and certainly no impact in the last 3 minutes. Which I don't get. Most dynamic player on Career. So hard to defend. So good at attacking off the dribble. Was she being doubled? Why wasn't she a factor in crunch time?
Bottom line: 3 out of Career's last 4 possessions ended in turnovers (steal / travelling violation / backcourt violation). Can't win a state championship if you come unglued with the game on the line.
If EH hadn't hit the buzzer beater, no way Career was going to win in OT. They were reeling. EH had all the momentum and mojo.
Yes you are mostly correct but I don't think Career necessarily played not to lose. Career could not handle the EH press. EH should have started to press earlier.
Both teams started the game missing very make able shots.
Great game for the fans. Large EH crowd. Very impressive.
Tom you really are a piece of work. If nothing else you are consistent. Troll.
Career controlled the majority of the game. I believe their main concern was trying to limit Schlottman's touches and keeping her off the offensive glass. I think I counted 3 second chance baskets for her. Overall they were successful in what I perceived as their approach.
Bethke only has a 6 player rotation and they left it on the floor. Tough loss for Career as they put a great run together to reach the final.
Same blueprint for EH in these big games. Schlottman carried them for 3 quarters and Helms took over in the fourth.
Bill, with the comments you make I sometimes wonder how the heck you even can figure out how to get on here. If I were you before making meaningless comments at least have someone proof them, or did you just come home from spring shopping at Kohls? The comment you made in the other article is another gem – here in case you forgot "Carear should of one that state game". P.S. Career was 0-3 against EH this year (they have to blow them out once in order to "blow them out again") Thanks for making us all laugh, but nobody can take you serious with the content in what I think are supposed to be sentences.
At the end of the day, East Haven beat a 20th ranked team by 2 points. They have only been challenged by 2 teams this tournament in the semifinals and the finals. Sometimes kids get nervous when they are in new situations. Both EH and Career struggled in the first half with shots and Career made some bad turnovers down the stretch. How is that the Career coach's fault? Why don't you give the coach credit for a good all around game and season with no D1 talent? Oh by the way, I remember that "school yard" team taking down Mercy as well. Regardless of your negativity and obvious hatred for the Career coach, good job to both EH and Career for getting to the Sun despite all the haters out there. Also good job to all the other teams that made the finals. A great accomplishment by a great group of coaches that know how to lead a team. Honestly, if you've never led a team to a championship game, you shouldn't comment on things you don't know. Just be a Fan!
Everyone seriously needs to relax with this stuff, agreed. Jeez.
Again, SCC Fan, you have no idea what was said in the huddle. Has it occurred to you that a coach with as much experience as the Career coach as well as many others probably, most likely told his players to burn some clock? The fact that you would think an experienced coach wouldn't have had his players ready for a press is laughably. I've seen Career play many times, and they usually break any press thrown at them. Especially when teams are trying to impose their size. I don't know why you can't accept that those girls were showing their nerves because they were in a big spot. Maybe the girls thought they could be heros with the three ball. They actually had been shooting the 3 ball better this year than previous years. As far as your Kohl's comment, I love that people like you think that it's so easy to coach anywhere, with or without talent. Those are truly the people that know nothing about coaching! Stay a Fan!
Listen, the bottom line is East Haven got the absolute most they could have out of a team with two good players. Coyle got hurt and that was a huge loss for them, with her they would have been a very different team. They had Shlotman, who gives you the most you can every time she is on the court and works extremely hard. She is strictly a low post player and since no teams had a chance in M, she didn't have to face any size, which is why EH would have gotten killed in class L or LL. Helms has a lot of talent on the offensive end but was not consistent. Outside of those two EH didn't have a player that would have started on most other teams, including Career, Mercy or Hand. Both Rocky Hill and Career should have beaten them, they simply played poorly down the stretch and part of that was that East Haven was relentless in there desire to win, but another part was lack of execution. Not East Haven's fault that they have gotten so much attention, they are the heart of the SCC and gametime coverage and the referees and everything else associated with girls basketball in Southern Connecticut and haven't won in a long-time, so many were rooting for them. Just the way it is.
EH beat Career 3 times. First time by 30 points on Careers home floor.
Last time i checked games are 32 minutes long. You need to play them all.
Does not matter what the half time or third quarter score is.
Career and Rocky Hill played poorly down the stretch. Why? Because EH pressed them and made them play poorly.
It is amazing why some of you guys just can not give EH the credit they deserve.
Who cares if they don't go anywhere next year, they won the state championship on a last second shot THIS YEAR! Did your team win?
So Tom are you confident Mercy repeats with all the players they lose??
You just can't bring yourself to give East Haven any credit. You act like a 5 year old.
Spot on A real hand tiger. Thank you.
I do not get why some on here have to bash high school kids.
Thanks Scc Fan, kohl would of beat them by 30,there's no comparing the two coaches, he's already on to next year.
Tom, the analysis you provide is amazing!! Keep up the good work!! Last time I checked Bethke has won more titles than kohs!!
Amazed that they even let you post the nonsense you do on this site!!!
Easy to be on to next year when you get kids from multiple towns, Thomas.
I must agree the coach did not know how to bring it home.As a spectator sitting close to the bench I heard him take off the press and go zone,(on a shooting team really?) I also heard his assistant coaches tell him to spread the court and play keep away.(you are up by eight with , let them foul the girls you are in the bonus) apparently he doesn't listen to them and he got out coached. Its terrible for the girls they fought hard !! They need a better coach!!
