Garage Door Lock
Entrepreneur Bryan White pitches his Garage Door Lock in Shark Tank episode 523 on March 21. White got a patent for his invention way back in 2002, now he's hoping a Shark can help make his patent and product pay off. What the Garage Door Lock does is lock your garage door with a remote, the same way you open and close it. Since most automatic garage doors don't have a dead bolt locking mechanism, this lock provides extra security.
White's company, Elocksys Inc, has an estimated $1-$5 million in sales coming into the Tank. There are literally millions (if not billions) of automatic garage doors that don't have a locking mechanism of any kind, so the market is huge. White likely wants the Sharks to help him get a deal with a large manufacturer of automatic garage doors.
Garage Door Lock Shark Tank Recap
Bryan enters seeking a $275,000 in return for 30% equity. He presents a scenario, explaining that a home invasion takes place every 15 seconds, and demonstrating how insecure the average garage door is, leaving homes open to burglars.
Kevin O'Leary wants to know how to "solve this horrific problem that is all over America? Stop the madness!"
Bryan explains that the lock is a DIY installation that takes about 2 hours for the average homeowner to add to their existing garage door. It's interchangeable, working with any brand door. To date, he's sold 450 units at $249.99 apiece, clearing about $112,000, through his website.
The Sharks want to know what he's doing to educate the consumer and market the Garage Door Lock. Bryan admits that his weak point is marketing. He'd like a partner who can help him launch the product into retail locations and build a name for the brand. He's an experienced inventor, having patented a device essential to parasailing previously, but his marketing and sales experience are limited.
He reveals that he has a "guaranteed introduction" to the owner of a large garage-door manufacturer. The Sharks warn him against those sorts of connections, saying that anyone who requires payment for an introduction is likely not working in his best interests.
Who's In?
Barbara Corcoran speaks up. "Can I tell you what you're missing in this deal? The most important ingredient. You're missing an entrepreneur." She explains that she doesn't believe that Bryan is capable of making the sales to the big-box stores, and that he needs a high-powered salesperson on his side. "Until the product is sold," she explains, "the business is worthless." She's out.
Kevin O'Leary agrees. He says he'll go out and buy one, but he can't see the opportunity as an investor. He's out.
Mark Cuban tells Bryan that he's looking for a marketing infrastructure, and he's not in the position to do that, so he's out.
Daymond John changes the tides by making an offer. He's willing to offer $275,000 for 40%, with the contingency of them finding a licensing deal. He would license the deal.
Robert Herjavec makes an offer as well. He believes he could put Bryan in front of the garage door manufacturers, but he's offering $275,000 in exchange for 70%, with no additional contingency.
Bryan asks Daymond if he would consider 35%. Daymond accepts, and Bryan leaves the Shark Tank with a deal.
Garage Door Lock Shark Tank Update
Bryan's success in landing a deal with Daymond John greatly benefited the business. In 2015, the company entered into a partnership with Guardian Locks, a large manufacturer of locks and other home protection equipment. Using their facilities, Bryan was able to get the cost of producing the locks down over 60%. To be closer to the production facility, Brian moved the business to San Diego.
The locks are still available on the company website and other websites dealing in locks and security. They're also developing a network of installers. Fast forward to November, 2022 and they are still in business with annual revenue of $3 million.

When you drive into any beach town, doesn't everyone bee-line straight for the nearest ice cream place? Well, we did.
We pitched our tent, had ice cream, hiked deserts, and then waited an hour for dinner.
These ladies who ran the locally owned and homemade ice cream (and pizza) place were friendly and informative to us (especially since we didn't know anything about the OBX). They let us try about 5 flavors each.
I ended up getting two, but only eating one of them. Both were good but too much ice cream, so I had to go with the better.
The Chocolate Peanut Butter was out of this world. I loved it. And I'm not usually a chocolate fan. But, will go there again and get it (hopefully they have it). Winner!
Have you heard of the"Paleo Cookbooks" ? My friend recommended it to me and I was searching for it online and came across your site.
I haven't heard of it. I'll give it a look-up though. Thanks for stopping by the site.


Following successful scooter and bicycle journeys around North America, I decided to set my sights on The River. In May of 2016, I prepared my gear into two ruck sacks and ordered an Old Towne Next solo canoe via eBay to the headwaters in Lake Itasca, MN. The 70+ hour Greyhound ride was a memorable experience with many colorful characters and teenage Russian seasonal workers heading to the heartland. Once paddling down the scenic and remote headwaters region, all the preparation and organization began to pay off. Rewarded with incredible wildlife viewing and a serene paddling experience, I made my way down the great River absorbing the changes from the dense northern pine forests to the arid agricultural midwest. The River itself acts as an educator in hazards from snags, rapids and strainers in the headwaters to towboats, metal cables and tankers in the lower river. The journey ended just north of New Orleans where I decided to take out on account of the large commercial ships and difficult paddling for an open canoe. It was only the first of my water-borne adventures and certainly not my last.

GenCell Energy, an Israel-based fuel cell power solution provider, has announced a strategic partnership with global production company, Flex.
The collaboration will enable GenCell to scale its manufacturing capacity to support the company's growth strategy and mission to replace polluting diesel generators with clean energy.
Flex provides GenCell with expanded production capacity to manufacture and deploy its backup and primary power fuel cell solutions at scale.
Flex will start producing GenCell fuel cells at is manufacturing facility in Ofakim, Israel, with other production lines set to be opened across the globe in the future.
"Our vision for many years has been to develop technology that generates clean, cost-effective and reliable power as a means to enable companies the world over to 'say no to diesel' and reduce their dependency on diesel generators," said Rami Reshef, CEO of GenCell.
"Following successful installations in 11 countries across a variety of industries such as utilities, factories and command and control centres around the globe, in order to now drive our growth forward to the next stage, we need to ramp up our production capacity fast and enjoy economy of scale; the new production line will let us realise these growth objectives and advance our mission," said Reshef.
GenCell alkaline fuel cells are used for applications where the continuous supply of electricity is vital, from telecoms to homeland security and niche automated industries, and most recently at an intensive care unit.
"For many years, reducing dependence on fossil fuels and providing credible alternative that are fit for purpose and can become mainstream, has been a huge global challenge," said Avichai Ramot, General Manager of Flex Ofakim.
"GenCell's proven technology and strong market demand, led by a mature and experienced management team, demonstrates a business with great potential – we are pleased to partner with them," Ramot conlcuded.
GenCell A5 overcomes the OPEX barrier of rural telecom power, saving operators up to $250M across 1,000 towers over a 10-year period compared to diesel generators.
Hydrogenics Corporation has entered into a subscription agreement with the Hydrogen Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Air Liquide S.A, to issue 3,537,931 common shares of Hydrogenics to Air Liquide on a private placement basis, for gross proceeds to Hydrogenics of $20.5m.

Uber Co-Founder Travis Kalanick to resign from Board
Uber has frequently made the headlines in 2019, from a flopped IPO to being banned in countries like Colombia and Germany, and cities such as London. Now, as Uber reaches the end of an era, its co-founder and board member, Travis Kalanick has announced his resignation.
Mr. Kalanick has made the decision to focus on his personal life an dphilanthropy. "At the close of the decade, and with the company now public, it seems like the right moment for me to focus on my current business and philanthropic pursuits. I will continue to cheer for its future from the sidelines," Kalanick said in an Uber release.
Back in 2017, Mr. Kalanick was rocked with scandals, including reports of sexual harassment and a toxic workplace culture. He was forced to resign from his position as CEO and made a member of the board.

Plastic Bag Ban Stalls in California amid Manufacturers' Opposition
By Aaron Mendelson (Reuters) - Prospects are dimming for a ban on plastic grocery bags in California, as the legislative session winds down and supporters remain three votes short of a majority in the face of strong opposition from manufacturers. A number of cities in California and other states, including Hawaii's Maui County, have made it illegal for grocery stores to pack consumer purchases in plastic.
By Aaron Mendelson
(Reuters) - Prospects are dimming for a ban on plastic grocery bags in California, as the legislative session winds down and supporters remain three votes short of a majority in the face of strong opposition from manufacturers.
A number of cities in California and other states, including Hawaii's Maui County, have made it illegal for grocery stores to pack consumer purchases in plastic. But at the state level, support has generally crumbled because of opposition from plastic bag makers. California's ban, if it passes, would be the first such statewide measure.
"Clearly we have our work cut out for us," said the bill's author, Democratic state Senator Alex Padilla. He backed a similar bill last year, which also failed by three votes.
The measure would ban grocery stores from handing out single-use grocery bags with customers' purchases, and would provide money to local plastic bag companies to retool to make heavier, multiple-use bags that customers could purchase.
It failed in the State Assembly on Monday by three votes, but lawmakers could bring it back if Padilla can muster the votes before this year's session ends on Sunday night.
Environmentalists have pushed for banning plastic bags, which are cheaper for supermarkets to use than paper bags, but create mountains of trash that is difficult to recycle. In California, there is particular concern that the bags, when swept out to sea, could cause injury to ocean life.
After the defeat of his earlier bill, Padilla won the support of some California based bag makers by including the funding for retooling. But in recent months, out-of-state manufacturers have campaigned against the bill, even producing television ads targeting Padilla, who is running for secretary of state.
Cathy Browne, general manager at Crown Poly, a plastic bag manufacturer in Huntington Park, California, said the bill would lead to layoffs at companies like hers.
A labor union representing workers at plastic bag manufacturing plants also came out against the bill in recent days.
More than 10 billion plastic bags are used in California each year, estimates Californians Against Waste, an advocacy group supporting the bill.

Seniors who live in CCRCs can select a service plan to suit their needs, abilities and preferences. Typical assisted-living services include recreational, social and educational activities; transportation; emergency help; housekeeping; meals; assistance with daily living; and personal assistance.
These housing options combine a level of independent living with some assistance for personal care. They provide care to residents who cannot live alone but do not need 24-hour nursing care. Assisted-living communities offer residents the privacy of their own bedroom, often with a small kitchen. Most offer meals in a community dining room, snacks, laundry services, housekeeping and assistance with personal needs, such as bathing, dressing or medication supervision. These facilities are not designed for people who need serious medical care, but there are some facilities for people with Alzheimer's, dementia and memory loss.
The fact that assisted-living facilities are state regulated can offer family members peace of mind, but that does not mean less effort should be given for selecting the right one. When looking for an assisted-living facility, experts say it's important to find one that offers a wide range of services while also having an ambiance that appeals to the resident. Collaboration between the potential assisted-living resident, family members, physicians and the facility manager will ensure that the balance between care and comfort is met. Next, determine all the available options, utilizing the same resources as for retirement communities.
Make an appointment to visit the managing director or director of the assisted-living facility. At that time, make sure the registered nurse is present at the meeting and make sure you obtain a disclosure statement that will tell you all the things the community can and will do for your loved one. Ask the cost of the facility and whether that is the total or if the facility offers levels of care, meaning the facility can add costs to everything it does for your loved one. Ask what the cost covers and how medications are given. Talk to residents and eat a meal there; food plays a big part in the residents' lives.
Assisted-living residents can be young or old, affluent or low income, frail or disabled. A typical resident in an assisted-living facility is a widowed or single woman in her 80s. Residents may suffer from memory disorders or simply need help with mobility, incontinence or other challenges. Assisted living is appropriate for anyone who can no longer manage to live on their own but doesn't require medical care.
Once a decision about a community has been made, review everything and ask questions if you do not understand. Ensure that everything is spelled out and clear. If you don't feel good about the place, it's probably not the best option. Pay close attention to what is going on and how you feel.
These group-living facilities, usually single-family homes, are designed to meet the needs of people who cannot live independently but do not need nursing homes. These homes provide some type of assistance with daily living activities, including eating, walking and bathing. Some homes provide skilled nursing, rehabilitative services or specialized care for illnesses, such as Alzheimer's.
A skilled nursing facility is staffed by registered nurses (RNs) who help provide 24-hour care to people who can no longer care for themselves due to physical, emotional or mental conditions. A licensed physician supervises each patient's care, and a nurse or other medical professional is almost always on the premises. Most nursing homes have two basic types of services: skilled medical care and custodial care.
Skilled medical care includes services of trained professionals that are needed for a limited period of time following an injury or illness. Skilled care also may be needed on a long-term basis if a resident requires injections, ventilation or other treatment.
Custodial or personal care includes assistance with the activities of daily living, such as bathing, dressing, eating, grooming, getting in and out of bed or walking around.
People who are able to recover from a disabling injury or illness may temporarily need the custodial care as they are getting back the strength and balance to be independent again. For people who are losing their ability to function independently due to chronic disease and increasing frailty, custodial care may be a long-term need.
In the most severe cases where a person is bed-bound, ongoing supervision by an RN is necessary along with the custodial care to ensure proper hydration and nutrition and to prevent skin breakdown. If a custodial-care resident becomes ill or injured, they may spend a period of time in skilled care and then return to custodial care. Whether a resident is under skilled or custodial care is important in terms of who provides the care and who pays for the services provided.

Five Montville Students Honored as ShopRite Stars

MONTVILLE, NJ – The first quarter ShopRite Stars were presented at the Nov. 19 Montville Township Board of Education meeting.
Assistant Principal Ken Nadzak said that the Stars were nominated by faculty members in one of five different categories, and the winners were selected by an administrative committee.
"In addition to the recognition of these wonderful students, ShopRite generously donates $1,000 toward Project Graduation for the Class of 2020," he said.

"Claudia Colatrella was nominated for the academics award in part because of her 4+ GPA, experience in honors and AP-level classes, and genuine love of learning," Nadzak said. "However, Claudia could have been nominated for an award in athletics because of her talent and ability on the cross country team. Claudia could have been nominated for an award in the arts because she is taking an independent study in songwriting, and also serves as the co-president of School of Rock and MUSE. Claudia could have been nominated in community service because of the work she does at her church, or in the field of leadership because she oversees Sunday Services, and recently earned an internship at the parish."
Colatrella is still applying to several schools, but plans to major in psychology and music, he said.
Michael Burke was honored in Athletics.
"As you probably know, Michael is a three-sport athlete: lacrosse, basketball, and the star quarterback of the Mustangs Varsity Football Team," Nadzak said. "This year, Michael threw for over 1,500 yards and 11 touchdowns, and rushed for over 800 yards with an additional 12 touchdowns. Michael attributes his success to being, as he put it, hard working. Michael also works hard in the classroom, and has a 3+ GPA. But staff in the building would attribute Michael's success to his maturity and leadership."
Burke has committed to play football at Sacred Heart, a Division 1 School, and plans to pursue a major in physical therapy, Nadzak said.
Angelina Hahl was honored in the Arts.
"I remember meeting Angelina for the first time during her freshman year," Nadzak said. "I vividly remember this, because during lunch every day, Angelina would go out of her way to say 'hi' to every student and staff member she saw. Her kindness was refreshing, and I can confidently say that MTHS is a more positive school because of Angelina.
"Angelina has discovered a love, passion, and talent for cooking and baking, and even worked with a teacher this year to design an independent study called Pastry around the World. Angelina is also currently a part-time college student, taking hospitality and management classes at County College of Morris," he said.
Hahl intends to enroll in culinary school and major in culinary arts, as well as baking and pastry arts.
Matthew Krase was honored for his Community Service.
"Matt Krase has been a proud member of Boy Scouts for the past 12 years, and recently achieved the distinction of Eagle Scout," Nadzak said. "Matt also serves on the Youth Executive Council at St. Pius, is co-president of Drama Club, and has also been inducted into National Honor Society, Italian Honor Society, and Tri-M music society. In addition, Matt has been a member of the Varsity Swim Team for each of his four years at MTHS, and is currently taking three AP classes."
Krase is still applying to schools, but plans to pursue a major in political science.
CJ Arena was honored for his Leadership.
"CJ has been in student government for four years, a member of FBLA and DECA, an inductee into NHS, and an athlete on our baseball and basketball teams," Nadzak said. "CJ also volunteers his time at First Presbyterian Church, and is a life guard in the summer. This last fact is particularly apropos, because of what CJ's leadership means to our building. Recently, members of the MTHS Administrative Team were talking about how outstanding CJ was as a leader. We have called on him countless times; from planning the most successful pep rally in recent memory to helping us address issues in the MTHS fan section, CJ has been a steady, reliable leader. "
CJ is still applying to several top colleges, but plans to pursue a major in business management marketing, according to Nadzak.

The unifying theme of this course is the concept of an intelligent agent. Based on this perspective, the problem of AI is seen as describing and building agents that receive perceptions from an environment and perform appropriate actions based on them. This course will begin by examining the traditional methods for implementing this mapping from perceptions to actions including blind search, informed search, logical inference, and production systems.
Then the course will consider some of the fundamental problems with these traditional approaches and explore the concept of embodied agents, or robots. We will build simple, Lego-based robots controlled by Handy boards and implement behavior-based control. Finally the course concludes with an examination of various learning techniques including decision trees and neural networks.
There will be frequent programming assignments illustrating the concepts presented. Many assignments will be in Scheme, and others will be in C or Java.
Packet: Purchase from Bridget Rothera, the departmental administrative assistant in Sproul Room 2.
Homework will generally be discussed and assigned in lab on Friday and will be due at noon on the next Friday. Late homework is not accepted, except if an extension is requested and granted prior to the due date.
On some homework assignments you will work jointly with other students (with each assignment I will explicitly tell you if working as a team is allowed). When you work as a team, then you and your team members may share code for that particular assignment. The team should submit a single assignment with all names clearly indicated at the top of the program file(s). All team members will receive the same grade for that assignment.

Pedro is a 2008 American film about Pedro Zamora, an openly gay, Cuban-American AIDS educator and television personality, who became famous as a castmember on The Real World: San Francisco, MTV's reality television series. It was produced by Bunim-Murray Productions, the same company that produces The Real World, and is their first scripted project. It was produced by Richard Glatzer and Wash Westmoreland, written by Dustin Lance Black and Paris Barclay (story) and directed by Nick Oceano.  The film stars Alex Loynaz, Justina Machado and Hale Appleman.

The film was an Official Selection at the 2008 Toronto International Film Festival.

The film aired on MTV on April 1, 2009 before the season finale of The Real World: Brooklyn.

Plot

The film opens with 22-year-old AIDS activist Pedro Zamora in his New York City hotel room in 1994, getting ready for an appearance on CBS. His contact calls him to ask why he has not arrived at the studio, but Zamora, disoriented, does not know who he is. Hotel security subsequently finds him lying unconscious on the floor.

In a flashback, 21-year-old Zamora is in Miami, Florida, where his family emigrated from Cuba. After making an audition tape for MTV's reality television series, The Real World: San Francisco, he is interviewed by producers. He tells him that if he is cast, he will not change his name to "Peter", nor hide his HIV status. He says that it does not matter if he dies of AIDS, as it is more important that he speak out about the disease. He is eventually cast, and meets his housemates when he moves into the house. As the housemates get to know one another, Judd Winick, who was informed by the producers that he would be living with someone with AIDS, is nervous about which of his housemates has it.

Zamora tells the others about his HIV/AIDS status by showing them his scrap book as an AIDS educator. Housemate Rachel Campos, who is uncomfortable, feels it is Pedro's responsibility to ease her concerns, and that she is being made the villain. Housemate David "Puck" Rainey, meanwhile, makes derogatory jokes about Zamora and his homosexuality. Zamora spends time with Sean Sasser, and becomes friends with Pam and Judd, his roommates. Rainey alienates the rest of the cast with his behavior, and when Zamora threatens to move out if Rainey stays, the others evict Rainey.

Zamora continues his work, speaking publicly despite protesters, though he continues to get sicker. Despite Winick's attempts to be reassuring, Zamora laments that he is only going to get worse. When one of the producers asks him if he wants to stop taping or be sent home, Zamora insists that he promise him that they continue filming until the end.

In 1994, the unconscious Zamora is brought to St. Vincent's Hospital in New York. He is told that his sister, Mily, will be arriving to see him. When a staffperson asks him if he wishes her to remove the anklet he has on his left ankle, he refuses.

In an interview, Mily Zamora calls her brother a "miracle", as her mother, who had already had several children, had had an operation to prevent further pregnancies prior to his conception. In a flashback, the young Zamora is taken to a priest of Santería, who adorns him with flowers, and ties a chain to his ankle to keep him symbolically tied to Earth. Later the family is torn in half during the Mariel Boat Lift, because the four eldest children are of military age, and are not permitted to leave. They insist to their parents that they leave with Zamora, Mily, and younger brother Jesus.

The family settles in Miami. Zamora's mother, Zoraida, grows close to her children, but the separation from her older children makes life difficult for her. When he is 13, his mother dies of cancer. Zamora does not openly grieve, but decides to become a doctor. By the time he is a young man, Mily is troubled by the secretive nature of the time he spends with his "friends". After rummaging through his belongings, and finding letters, she discovers that he is gay, leading to a confrontation.

In 1994, Mily is at Saint Vincent's, and is told that her brother may have toxoplasmosis, a parasitic infection common to AIDS patients, but that it may be the more serious PML. Further tests must be conducted to make a determination.

In flashback, Zamora is an outgoing teenager who easily finds suitors. He does not practice safe sex, because the only education he receives on AIDS presents it as something that afflicts only prostitutes and drug addicts. When he is 17, he volunteers to give blood at a high school blood drive, and discovers he has HIV. Mily is devastated when she finds out. He goes into denial, but months before he graduates high school, he comes down with shingles, and comes to the conclusion that he has no future. After educating himself, however, he decides to dedicate his life to becoming an AIDS educator, speaking at schools, and doing radio shows.

In an interview, Zamora's boyfriend, Sean Sasser, talks about how he tested positive while at culinary college, and later met Zamora at a gay and lesbian march in Washington, D.C. As they get to know one another, they feel a mutual attraction. Sasser tells Zamora that he should look him up if he ever visits San Francisco. When Zamora eventually does move to San Francisco six months later as part of The Real World, they begin to date, though Zamora is reluctant to be open about his sexuality in public, having been subject to homophobia in Miami. Nonetheless, the two fall in love, and Sasser asks Zamora if he will stay in the city after filming ends. The two exchange wedding vows in a ceremony in the Real World house.

In 1994, Winick visits Zamora at Saint Vincent's, and tells him that Zamora's agent asked him if he would substitute at his lecture. Winick suggests postponing the lecture, but Zamora insists that he stand in. After Zamora undergoes a brain biopsy, Mily expresses enthusiasm that he will appear on TV, but he tells her that he will not be making any more appearances. He is transferred to a Miami hospital, where his loved ones are told that he has PML, and that he does not have much time left. Sasser insists that they try all available treatments, including an experimental one that would likely be painful. Zamora's family oppose the treatment, and wish to take him home. Zamora also decides against the treatment, and asks to be taken home, where his family try to bar Sasser from seeing him. As his condition deteriorates, and his story makes the news, he confronts his sister over his family's exclusion of Sasser. After they view a videotape of the wedding ceremony, they have a change of heart, and welcome Sasser back into the fold. Zamora gets a phone call from President Bill Clinton, who thanks him for his work, and who facilitates the reunion of his older brothers and sisters, who have been allowed to leave Cuba to join the family in Miami. As the family is now reunited, the bedridden Zamora sees a vision of his mother at his bedside.

Pedro dies on November 11, 1994. Footage of Pedro Zamora and Sean Sasser's real-life commitment ceremony from The Real World is shown, over which title cards describe what happened to the others in the story.

Production and release
Writer Dustin Lance Black was approached by director Paris Barclay with the idea for the project in 2003. Black, who is gay, was an avid fan of The Real World: San Francisco, on which Pedro Zamora was a cast member, though Black himself was still in the closet at the time that it originally aired. Black was inspired by Zamora's decision to become a public educator, despite the bigoted attacks that he suffered. Black was further motivated by the state of the AIDS epidemic at the time of the film's production, commenting that "Pedro's message is getting lost", and hoping that the film might motivate young people to continue Zamora's work. Barclay inquired with Bunim-Murray, the company that produces The Real World for MTV, and which ultimately produced Pedro, and learned that there had been attempts in the past, but which had failed to reach fruition. Barclay also approached former cast members Judd Winick and Pam Ling, explaining to them his vision to movie in order to seek their blessing and their assistance with its production. Lance Black also interviewed other people who had been close to Zamora, including his widower, Sean Sasser.

In late 2008, the film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival, with Zamora's older sister Mily in attendance. Mily reacted emotionally to the experience, and lauded the film for having accurately captured her brother and his message.

Awards
In 2010, Pedro writers Dustin Lance Black and Paris Barclay were nominated for a WGA Award. Pedro also received a Humanitas Prize nomination and a GLAAD Media Award nomination for Outstanding TV Movie or Mini-Series during the 21st GLAAD Media Awards.

Criticism
Zamora's husband, Sean Sasser, took issue with the film's portrayal of his relationship with Zamora's family. In the film, after Zamora is hospitalized in Miami, his father and brothers initially refuse to accept Sasser as Zamora's spouse, telling Sasser that their time in San Francisco is over, and attempt to keep them apart. After Zamora objects to this, Zamora's family is made to watch the video of their commitment ceremony, and accept Sasser as Zamora's husband. Sasser, who regretted not having had an opportunity to spend more time with Zamora, stated that this change of heart did not occur in reality, saying, "I have a lot of resentment toward dealing with his family's homophobia, as well as dealing with him dying... It's troublesome. If there had been some sort of support behind our commitment ceremony... I had a hard time dealing with his family. With Pedro's death and being allowed in the hospital... I don't know. Maybe it could have helped the family deal with my presence, you know?"

Q:  of parent, do for each subclass So, I have a class GameObject, that I am using as a base for many subclasses.
class GameObject()
{
    blah;
}

class AmmoBox() : Gameobject()
{
    different blah;
}

class Taco() : GameObject() {very different blah;}

Later I use them in a list and I want to specify different update/etc behavior for each subclass.
foreach (AmmoBox a in GameObjects) { }

foreach (Taco t in GameObjects) { }

Compiler throws error "unable to cast object of type 'GameObject' to type 'AmmoBox'. I know this is a pathetic mistake, how should I properly do this?

A: You can use OfType to filter based on the type:
foreach (AmmoBox a in GameObjects.OfType<AmmoBox>()) { }

A: You cannot cast them in the foreach(..) directly, try looping through them and checking if they are of the type you want. Use the as operator to check this, it will return the casted object if it was of the type, or null if it was not.
foreach (GameObject object in GameObjects)
{
     AmmoBox a = object as AmmoBox;
     if (a != null)
     {
         //Do something with a
     }

     Taco t = object as Taco;
     if (taco != null)
     {
         //Do something with t
     }
}

You could also use LINQ's OfType extension to select them based on their type.
foreach (AmmoBox a in GameObjects.OfType<AmmoBox>())
{
     //Do something with a
}
foreach (Taco t in GameObjects.OfType<Taco>())
{
     //Do something with a
}

A: The GameObjects variable contains different types of GameObjects. So when you try to cast to a mismatched type, it throws an error.
One way is to filter the collection as you iterate through it. This involves checking for the actual type of the object. This is OK in simple cases, but is not really considered "good" code as it defeats the purpose of using an interface.
Instead, try and create an Update method in each of your GameObjects. Like so:
abstract class GameObject
{
    ...
    public abstract void Update();
}

class Ammo : GameObject
{
    public override void Update()
    {
        // Stuff to update Ammo
    }
}

Do similar for your other game objects. Then in your foreach loop, just call this one method on each object.
foreach (GameObject g in GameObjects)
{
    g.Update();
}

This is nice and clean. It also abstracts away specific details into the specific classes. This is a well-known design pattern called the Strategy Pattern.

Football: SWR makes history, clinches first undefeated regular season

WILDCATS 35, ROYALS 0
For those keeping score at home, the number of ice baths Shoreham-Wading River football coach Matt Millheiser has been doused with after a game this season stands at two.
The first came after a road win in Babylon, only the second in program history for the Wildcats against the Panthers. The second came Friday afternoon, after the Wildcats rolled past Port Jefferson, 35-0, to put the finishing touches on the program's first 8-0 season.
"Let's hurry this up!" a frigid Millheiser said during an interview after getting blindsided by the ice water.
In a few weeks, Millheiser may find himself on the receiving end of yet another cold surprise. The Division IV regular season champions, the Wildcats will enter the postseason as the No. 1 seed, with home field advantage in the first two rounds, and the favorites to bring home a county title, which would be the first in program history.
"To get 8-0, it takes a lot and I'm proud of the kids," Millheiser said.
The Wildcats will open the playoffs at home next weekend against the No. 8 seed, an opponent still to be determined. The Royals, who came into the day seventh in power points, were no match for the Wildcats.
Shoreham scored touchdowns on each of its first five possessions, taking a 35-0 lead with 9:26 left in the second quarter. The Wildcats, conscious to not run up the score, eased up their attack the rest of the game with mostly reserves playing.
"It's something real special, something this program has never experienced before," said Shoreham quarterback Daniel Hughes. "We're honored to be the first team in school history to do this. It's a great achievement."
Hughes had a relatively easy afternoon. He threw three passes, completing each one to wide receiver Isreal Squires. Two went for touchdowns, a 25-yarder and a 53-yarder.
"Whenever you come out with a good start, it's always a little easier to play from ahead," Hughes said.

The Wildcats benefitted from consecutive turnovers to start the game from Port Jefferson, each one on a fumble that set up Shoreham with great field position. Junior Chris Rosati punched in the first touchdown with a 10-yard run. He had 40 yards rushing on the drive. Squires broke two big runs on the Wildcats' next two possessions to turn short gains on a pass into touchdowns.
Rosati added the fourth score on a 39-yard run in the final minute of the first quarter that made it 28-0.
"We've really worked hard at having multiple weapons," Millheiser said. "It's been more effective this year I think because last year everyone would key up on Tyler [Anderson]. We had a couple other options, but everyone would key to stop Ty. This year we have three and four options, which makes it very difficult to game plan."
Bryce Casey broke a 61-yard run for the final Shoreham touchdown with 9:26 left in the second quarter.
For the Shoreham defense, it was the third shutout of the season. The Royals threatened with one late drive in the fourth quarter, but an interception gave the ball back to Shoreham.
The game was moved up to Friday afternoon because of poor weather in the forecast for Saturday. It made for an unusual feel. The bleachers were sparse, but it hardly dampened the enthusiasm on the Wildcats' sideline.
"We're always prepared to play, no matter which day it is," Hughes said. "They could tell us as we're walking out to practice that we're going to play today and we're going to be ready."
The Wildcats haven't been tested much this season outside of games against Babylon and John Glenn. To win a county title, they'll likely have to go through both teams again. Glenn should finish as the No. 2 seed. Babylon is currently ranked fourth.
"I think we have to focus on the little things," Hughes said. "Any slip-up, teams are going to take advantage of it."
The benefit of winning so many games by wide margins is the Wildcats rarely have to get deep into the playbook.
When asked if the team can still add some wrinkles to the playbook come playoff time, Millheiser smiled and said: "Maybe a few, yeah."

Repeat Giant-Killer Scores Iowa Monster Buck
Lynn Burkhead - August 02, 2018

As dedicated readers of this magazine might recall, Iowa resident Gabe Adair is no stranger to arrowing big bucks. Last fall, the 39-year-old bowhunter was up to his old tricks again, as he set out to kill another world-class whitetail that would surpass the magical 200-inch mark.
Baseball legend Yogi Berra is credited with 13 World Series championships. Aside from his incredible athleticism, he's also famous for the comical "Yogi-isms" he spouted out throughout his career. One of Yogi's most well-known gems came after he watched Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris hit back-to-back home runs. That event made the likable Yogi quip to a sportswriter: "This is like déjà vu all over again."
Yogi's description would also be a fitting phrase for Gabe. In 2011, the bowhunter downed a 201-inch non-typical he'd nicknamed "Main Event." That success put the longtime Whitetail Properties staffer on the cover of North American Whitetail and Realtree founder Bill Jordan's Monster Bucks DVD series.
But why stop there? When Gabe captured trail camera photos of a great buck just after Thanksgiving 2016, he knew he'd have another giant quest on his hands — provided the deer survived until the following season.
"My first photo of this buck was on Nov. 28, 2016," says Gabe. "I had him pegged as a mid-160s kind of 4 1/2-year-old deer, maybe even closer to 170. I knew he had potential, and I couldn't wait to see what he'd look like as a 5-year-old."
Gabe spent the remainder of the season hunting a 195-inch non-typical that was roaming one of his hunting grounds. But after a neighboring client tagged that Boone & Crockett buck, Gabe switched gears. He took a couple of great 8-pointers, each scoring north of 150 inches.
By the following July, Gabe was in full preparation mode for the '17 season. He'd strategically placed over 30 Reconyx game cameras throughout his property and had planted several acres of corn plots around his stand sites.
"I had three new stand sites that all looked promising," he explains. "Two were ground blinds, and one was a new tower blind for later on in the year. I had them all set up early, and they were ready to rock and roll. I brushed the ground blinds into standing corn and cut a path to the back of the blind. For me, that works really well. I like to work the edges, play it safe and not put a lot of pressure on the deer as I'm getting in and out of those blinds."
Gabe started hunting the early season with his cameraman Adam Raak. With their stands set up as perfectly as they knew to make them, all they needed was for the big buck to show himself.
"I bounced around a lot in the early season trying to locate different bucks," says Gabe. "I was mostly trying to keep my eyes on this farm, waiting for the time to get right before I really got serious. When I'm hunting a giant, I'll invite my cameraman to basically live with me for the next 40 to 45 days. Before I start that grind, I make sure I've got something to grind after."
Gabe found that reason when Adam took a photo in late October of a giant buck silhouetted on a hilltop. Shot with a 300mm lens, the digital photo showed a massive non-typical with a tall rack and a drop tine. Gabe had never noticed a drop tine in the trail camera photos of his target buck (which he'd nicknamed "Hammer"), so he assumed this was a different deer.

"I thought I had two giant deer living on the farm," say Gabe. "I knew Hammer was a split-tined 10-pointer with some junk, but I really didn't think he had a drop tine."
Gabe spent each morning glassing for any sign of Hammer, thinking he almost certainly lived within a mile of the farm. The hunter hoped the buck would show up sometime in November, just as he'd done the previous year. Finally, trail camera photos proved that hunch to be accurate.
"The photos I got on Nov. 3 and 4 told me that Hammer was back on the farm earlier than he'd been in 2016," Gabe notes. "I again saw no drop tine in those photos, so I still had no info on the mystery buck we'd seen on the hillside. Regardless, Hammer had blown up in size, and he was definitely my target buck."
The chess match with this Iowa brute started on Nov. 5, with a northeast wind. Gabe and Adam slipped into a perfect stand for those conditions, positioned on the backside of a bedding area in a place that was low and unobtrusive.
One key to Gabe's success when hunting such tight quarters is being a stickler about scent control. In addition to relying heavily on his Ozonics system, Gabe also uses a pump sprayer to coat his LaCrosse rubber boots with carbon powder.
"I became a believer in doing that when I squirted some diesel fuel on my hands, then dumped pure carbon powder on them and rubbed my hands together, and the diesel smell was gone," says Gabe. "Now I pump that sucker up and turn my rubber boots black with carbon."
Of course, Gabe is also very focused on playing the wind direction correctly. His strict scent-control regimen enables him to push the limits and hunt marginal wind directions he was never able to successfully hunt before.
"On the morning of Nov. 5, we were set up and ready to go well before the crack of daylight," says Gabe. "Not long after shooting light, we had a buck straight downwind that was coming up the creek. At first, I couldn't identify the deer, but then I got a good look at him, turned to my cameraman and said, 'It's him.'"
Hammer was soon just 20 yards away, walking parallel to the double set of lock-on stands hung 18 feet high in the tree.
"The wind certainly was not perfect for the direction he was walking," explains Gabe. "But he did what 99 percent of deer have done since I started using Ozonics. He hit that wind, stopped, looked right in our direction for a few seconds, then flicked his tail, put his head down and walked right through our wind."
The archer brought his bow to full draw and waited for the buck to ease through a shooting lane. But the desired shot angle never came. Eventually Hammer just walked away.
"I was up, down and leaning out on my tether, trying to find a hole to shoot through," Gabe laughs. "I was basically getting away with murder while he wasn't looking at us. While I could have let an arrow fly, I finally convinced myself to not take a bad shot at the deer. He was headed right toward the heart of the farm, right where I wanted him. I felt like I was eventually going to kill him — if not today, then another time."
As Hammer walked off, Rocky reviewed the camera footage and told Gabe excitedly, "Man, that's the drop-tine buck!"
Gabe recalls, "That's when it all came together. We looked at the footage and could clearly see Hammer had a drop tine coming off his right side at the base. There weren't in fact two deer. Of course, I was even more excited to kill him at that point."
With the rut soon to peak, Gabe was elated when he got trail camera photos of Hammer in a corn plot near one of his Double Bull ground blinds. Immediately thereafter, Gabe was slipping through one of the tunnels he cut through the standing stalks and preparing for an evening hunt.
"I like to hunt the food in the evening and scout in the mornings," explains Gabe. "I knew Hammer had certainly already found a doe, and I just had to hope she would bring him into the corn. I kept telling myself that I had a food plot full of mature does during the rut, that would be very tempting to him. I had to keep playing it safe. I knew he would eventually end up in front of me."
Gabe finally had another encounter with Hammer on the evening of Nov. 11, while hunting from same ground blind. Just as he'd expected, the field had first filled with does feeding in the corn. Next, two 150-inch bucks emerged. The last deer to enter was Hammer. But Gabe was presented no shot opportunity. Hoping to sneak out without spooking the deer, the bowhunter and cameraman exited through the "back door" route within the standing corn.
The wind was forecast to change the next day and begin blowing directly into the field. Gabe had to get a new plan together, and fast. The wind just wouldn't allow for hunting the blind. Even with two Ozonics units running, Gabe didn't want to risk the giant buck winding him.
The next day at 11:00 a.m., Gabe returned to the field and brushed in another ground blind with corn stalks. He set the blind near a group of trees where Hammer had exited the field the previous evening. The bowhunter then returned home to shower, so he could be set up in the blind by early that afternoon.
Deer soon started to come and go, but there was no sign of Hammer. But then, with under an hour of shooting light left, the massive buck popped into the food plot and began to feed. Unfortunately, he stayed just out of Gabe's range.
"I told Adam that I wasn't going to shoot past 40 yards," the archer explains. "For me, it was just not worth the risk. Of course, that evening Hammer hung out at 45 to 50 yards for what seemed like forever."
A few minutes later, Hammer scurried down the fence line and disappeared into the woods, chasing a doe. Gabe wondered if he'd just missed out again. But then, Hammer busted back out of the woodlot — now heading directly toward the ground blind.
"At that point, it was game on again," says Gabe. "I got ready and ranged him at 41 yards. I came to full draw and told Adam that when he turned, I was going to take him."
But instead of turning broadside, Hammer edged closer to the blind. That forced Gabe to let down and confirm the new distance. This time, Hammer was at just 31 yards.
"He was quartering slightly toward us," Gabe says. "I told Adam again that when he turned, I was going to take him. I knew the shot window was tight and that I had to hug that shoulder."
Gabe eased back the string on his 74-pound compound, locked in on his target and let the arrow fly. He watched as the Nocturnal nock streaked into the buck's vitals. The Rage Hypodermic expandable broadhead did its work, and it was game over for the Iowa giant.
"He ran over to the edge of the food plot about 70 yards away, stopped, started getting woozy and went down in sight!" Gabe recalls with excitement.
Although he had a building history with the giant buck he'd just shot, including not just trail camera photos but direct sightings, the lucky bowhunter still didn't know just how big Hammer truly was.
"We could see him lying over there, and with camera light starting to fade, we only waited five minutes or so before going over to him," says Gabe. "It was truly awesome when I finally got my hands on him. I was thinking that he was somewhere in that 200 to 205 range. His frame was roughly 17 inches wide on the inside, and his main beams were not overly long, just over 24 inches. I knew he was a 200-inch deer, and I was tickled pink. But at that point, I still didn't know what I had."
As word of the kill began to spread, it didn't take long for someone to break out the tape measure.
"One of my buddies kept telling me he was much bigger than I thought, claiming he would easily score in the 220 to 230 range,'" says Gabe. "As people started coming over to look at the buck, we went into the garage with a tape measure and started adding numbers up."
When those rough numbers were tallied, Adair was surprised.
"He ended up grossing 222 6/8 inches and netting 215 4/8 inches," the bowhunter notes. "He definitely grew. I never guessed he was a 220-class animal. I'm fortunate to live in an area where I'm surrounded by big bucks year in and year out, but I'd never hunted one this big before. I couldn't have been happier that night."
In retrospect, Gabe largely credits his scouting and land-management efforts for leading to his success on this Iowa giant. He also notes that persistence helped him kill the deer. He had to avoid getting overly aggressive, which is a common mistake hunters make.
"It's one thing to see a giant on the edges or outskirts of your farm," Gabe notes. "But you want the buck to live in the heart of your property. Keeping your hunting pressure low will help make that possible. I knew where this buck was going to be and what his tendencies were, and I came up with a plan to hunt him. I dug in and waited for him to show up. And that's exactly what he did."

Cascade's Oliver a force in the paint
Steve Schreck
Cascade's Kaicey Oliver, the 6-foot-2 senior center for the Class C Badgers, compiled 41 points in two wins against Helena Christian and Foothills Christian over the weekend.
She averaged 10 rebounds a game.
And she swatted away a total of seven shots.
"I think her whole game," Cascade mentor Gary Lucero said on what stands out about Oliver. "The blocked shots. The way she's starting to position herself around the basket. She wants the ball more and is asking for the ball more. She's ready to catch it and is just playing with a lot more confidence this year."
A first-team All-Conference selection last season, the girls' Athlete of the Week has been a key piece of the Badger program these last several seasons.
"She's been a big influence," Lucero said. "A very good leader. She leads by example on the court. She doesn't say a whole lot, but her actions are kind of what you follow and a lot of the kids look up to her. She's a good role model."
Lucero said he's noticed Oliver becoming more comfortable navigating the paint, even if her movement is sometimes impeded.
"She's working a lot more on her shot right around the basket," he said. "She's getting pushed and shoved, but she's gotten a lot stronger around the basket."
Rocky Boy's Sasha Coffee and Havre's Amelia Miller were also up for this week's award. All who have been nominated for Prep Athlete of the Week throughout the school year will be honored at the Great Falls Tribune's third annual Northcentral Montana Sports Awards Banquet this spring.
The banquet and our weekly Athlete of the Week online voting competition are sponsored by Benefis Health System. Nominations for Prep Athlete of the Week can be sent to tribsports@greatfallstribune.com.
