The ToolChanger is available to buy now!
Back in March we announced that we've been developing what might just be the coolest thing to hit 3D printing in a very long time, our tool-changing motion system! Hopefully this blog post answers most of your questions but as always we know that you will be eager to find out more, therefore we will be hosting a live Q & A session at 5pm UK time 31st August, ask your questions here. So, without further ado, let us update you on what's been happening over these past few months.
Partial Assembly
The most significant overall change is that we've rearranged how the machine assembles in order that we can more easily ship it partially assembled. This means you will receive the X-Y motion system completely pre-assembled as a single unit, along with the Z axis as a separate self contained assembly.
Assembly will be vastly simplified. No tramming, aligning or tensioning of belts as this will all be done for you. Just bolt the upright extrusions to the X-Y Motion system and the base plate to those and you're done. We've chosen to do this to lower the barrier to entry, reduce the likelihood of mistakes and generally improve the user experience.[caption id="attachment_660" align="aligncenter" width="600"] Assembled X-Y Motion-System [/caption]
Minor Technical Changes
The amount of technical change is modest but important and has mainly revolved around optimising the machine for manufacture and assembly. We've also made a number of bug-fixes and improvements.
Z axis
- Earlier versions shown in some videos had 2x 12mm rails which have now been replaced with a single double wide Z axis rail. This makes Z smoother and simpler.
- The stiffness of the connection between rail-carriage and bed has been improved with a machined part and more optimal bed design that is very stiff indeed.
- The Z-motor is now mounted to the Z-axis extrusion with a bracket allowing us to assemble the entire Z-axis as a self-contained unit.
- The Z-axis integrated leadscrew-motor has been improved with axially pre-loaded bearings to stiffen Z further and improve repeatability.
- The new Z-axis takes up much less space in X, leaving more space for larger tools - this should enable direct extruders to be used instead of bowden where desired.
Wide rail, thicc machined bracket and refined integrated Z leadscrew-motor [/caption]
X-Y Motion-System
- Instead of using plain flanged bearings as idlers, we're now running on genuine Gates idlers. Where the smooth backside of the belt runs over the idler we're using smooth idlers and where the toothed side of the belt runs over the idler, toothed idlers are used. This gives smoother more accurate motion and longer belt life.
- The carbon-fibre X-member is made from an even stiffer carbon-fibre laminate.
- The cantilevered idler posts are now stiffer and use larger M4 threads allowing for higher belt tensions.

Enhanced Carbon-Fibre X axis [/caption] [caption id="attachment_660" align="aligncenter" width="600"]
New idler posts and pulleys [/caption]
- Tweaks in X, Y and the shape of the Z axis have provided an additional 33% more space for tools. This should give us enough space to create direct-drive extruders and generally more capable tools.
- Instead of being an intrinsic part of the motion system it now neatly bolts onto it. This means that you can use the motion system without the tool-changer if you want, and lets us supply the tool-changer separately to the motion system.
- Much stiffer, with higher load carrying capacity, this should also allow the design of more capable tools.
- Machined construction instead of laser-cut plates, generally much more badass, stiffer, and easier to assemble.
- All contact surfaces between the tool and the grabber are now hardened steel, this will give higher load carrying capacity, longer life, and more accurate coupling.
- The servo we're using is more capable with higher torque, and metal gears.

Manufacturing starts now
We appreciate both your patience and support with this project, and with plenty of orders we are now committed to bringing this project to life. Forgive us for taking slightly longer than anticipated to get this blog post out, a few things held up the process, mainly the decision to go with partial assembly and increased modularity. We have now achieved design lock for the machine and as I write this blog post the orders are being placed for the first 30 machine Beta run. We anticipate having these in hand within 8 weeks.
Our plan is to first manufacture 30 machines and offer these to early adopters and trusted Beta testers. We do not anticipate having to make any substantial changes to this design as it is thoroughly design reviewed and tested. However, we think it prudent to start with a small run to ensure everything meets expectations.
Once we have verified the design we will start to order in batches of 250 machines, and we will offer these to those who have reserved machines, in the order that they have reserved them. We will ship these out on a rolling basis as they become available to us and we hope to be putting the first production run machines up for order 15 weeks from now.
We still don't have firm final pricing, but we're getting closer as we start making the parts for the machines. Please take the following as indications, not final pricing:
- Motion-System, X, Y and Z axes including frame, partially assembled: £1250
- Tool-changing Mechanism + 4 docks, bolts directly to motion system: £250
- E3D-v6 Tool: £125
These modular parts will be sold separately so you can order precisely what you want and need. If you just want to buy a motion system without the Tool-Changer to make a very fast precise single extrusion machine you can do that. If you want to just buy the Tool-Changing mechanism and tools to add to your own existing machine that is fine too.
Other parts which are yet to have their design and price finalised:
- Duet electronics & Wiring Kit
- Laser cut back & side panels
- Other tools
The purchasing process
The ToolChanger is available to buy now!
While we've tried to answer as much as we can, we are sure that you guys will still have many more questions. We have created another Google Form for you to fill out and ask your questions, these will then be answered during a live Q & A session at 5pm UK time 31st August 2018.

I am just a very keen hobbyist at 3d printing, but would love to test this awesome machine and give you back, the good and not so good feedback.↓
Hi Reginald, please fill out the following application if you would like to be a beta tester https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfp_xKnkDjb3lspC70QFpIIsfAftcBi9W6aYRJSUvcaVFL1ZQ/viewform↓
Hi, your work is wonderfull, simplicity of the design: not too much useless parts, precision, repetability for the 3 axis, impressive tool changing !!! OMG !!! a lot of accessibility inside the product.
Maybe Piezo sensing on the main carriage for perfect, easy and common leveling of different tools (could be easily integrated on the carriage plates).
No endstop: stall detection I suppose :-)
Closed loop steppers on all motors for overkilling demo.
A brush to clean each tool at origin position.
Standing ovation for your job↓
Doe sthe changing tool will include the metallic brush i saw on the video from your presentation at maker fair ??
and next question is how will we deal with Z calibration for each tool ???
do we calibrate each tool and settings with G10 instruction ??
will you provide specific firmware to do that for example on touchscreen ?
because as we have to set X, Y and Z offset and same for standby temp etc...
and from what i seen only reprapfirmware support tool change macros.
so what will be handle by the firmware, handle from the slicer (what are the compatible slicers for now ? ) and handle by modify the gcode (which i do not expect at all)
Hi Julien, no it doesn't come with a brush but we will provide CAD so you can print the parts yourself. In our reference machine we use G10 with tool T0 being the datum from which all others are measured. Depending on what electronics you install, and we recommend the Duet2 and Duex5, you will need to configure the way the printer operates yourself. We intend to have a reference implementation for you based around the Duet2. Please see the first blog post for calibration patterns https://e3d-online.com/blog/2018/03/21/tool-changer-q/↓
Does the Motion-System include heated bed? What size?↓
Hi Ed, the Motion-System does not include a heated bed but it takes a 300x200.↓
I am part of a research group in Berlin, Germany. We are developing a CV based fully (slice settings & bed leveling) calibration software.
I believe Multi-Tool systems are the future of in house prototyping and me and my team would like to be beta users of your system!

Hi Raz, can you and your team please fill out the following application if you would like to be beta testers https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfp_xKnkDjb3lspC70QFpIIsfAftcBi9W6aYRJSUvcaVFL1ZQ/viewform↓
I have a couple of your Big Box heated beds and plates and very satisfied with them. Are they still available? I did paint the underside of the plate with high temp white so the first layer is more visible.
Hi Ed, unfortunately due to not having a full time electrical engineer we had to put the development of these beds on hold whilst we were looking for someone, however we have recently employed someone and they will be working on these ASAP.↓
I wonder if you guys ever considered putting the Z Axis stepper motor at the top of the build area rather then at the bottom. Carl Raffle did it this way in the CR1 beta and it works quite well. It could buy you a bit more Z axis area.↓
Hi Andy, the Z axis motor was originally at the top but it got in the way of the tools and took up too much space.↓
Wow, really excited about this design. you guys have a real passion and elegance for machine design! Your energy and excitement is a great inspiration!
Is the X beam stiff enough in torsion? I realize the forces are mainly planar if the tool and carriage mass is in the same plane as the driving belts, but surely with the array of tooling you are planning for, the center of mass may be more above or below causing torsion on the beam during accel/decel front to back. I'm guessing the natural damping of the carbon fibre will help with vibrations in this mode as well. I'm curious if you considered this during your FEA.↓
Hi Jon, yes this has been considered and the X beam is pretty damn stiff! Like you say, there will of course still be some give, in all directions, but we are very happy with the work that we have done to drastically reduce this.↓
I was initially working on my own tool changing system for an open source CoreXY system, that utilised a servo to lock separate carriages in place. I gave up on my work on seeing the e3d developments, anticipating that it would be better to be involved in a system that would seek to be the standard for tool changing. I still want to incorporate mounting for e3d's tool changing into common CoreXY printer designs like the D-Bot, and have gone to some lengths to provide for this; such as ensuring my designs have space for your mechanisms.
I've also contributed designs to fix issues with e3d products such as the Titan filament guide and idler lever, and aim to continue to do the same in future. If I had access to the promised open source designs of the locking mechanism, I believe I could reproduce it myself, and incorporate these works into both what I'm building, and what I will do in the future.↓
Hi James, the open source designs will be released when everything is completely finalised post Beta testing.↓
Is his going to be open source?↓
Hi Timo, yes absolutely, the designs will be released post Beta testing when everything is finalised.↓
So which Duet board? Won't it need the Duet5x expansion board since it can control more steppers?
Also... won't each extruder/nozzle need to be carefully set height wise so that the nozzle ends are all at the exact same spot?
REALLY looking forward to this!↓
Hi Andy, Duex5 is required in conjunction with a Duet 2 or Duet 2 Ethernet. Yes the nozzles will need to be calibrated, there are good calibration prints for this so not too much of an issue.↓
Nice system, seems to be perfect, which plans you have about direct drive coupling. I by myself working on a similar system driven on steep threaded rods to provide more power for watercooled direct drive coupling and I am at phase to Test different docking methods you already have done like power magnets e.g.
Our team would be happy to beta test your maschine also as the new prusa mm system to find the differences.
If you buy just the tool changer portion, what exactly do you get? Everything that attaches to the bearing, Or is what attaches to the bearing still part of the motion system and the rest of the tool changer bolts to the aluminum housing?
What kind of bearing is it, what is the size of the rail? Just trying to get an idea of what I would need to prepare my bigbox or other printer for the tool changer.↓
Hi Erik, option B, there is a generic carriage that attaches to the linear rail that the belts are attached to, the ToolChanger components then attach to this. The rail is 12mm 'Miniature Style'.↓
This looks like a well designed beast but not working well with flexible filaments is giving me pause. Could e3d provide a little insight as to what the complications are with a direct-drive extruder that pushed the first iteration towards bowden(s)? Ie., What problems would an end-user run into trying to mount a titan/etc. on a tool changer pallet?↓
Hi Josh, the initial design was done Bowden as the mass of the toolhead is lower and therefore easier as the tool grabbing mechanisms doesn't need to be able to handle as much mass. Currently we are refining the tool changing mechanism and it will very shortly have direct tools. Thanks.↓
DUET and Duex i got
Forgive me if this has been answered, I could only find the xy size (200x300). What is the standard z build height? And will this be available in different z sizes?
Thanks! Can't wait to get one!↓
Hi Matthew,
The standard Z height is 300mm and no it won't be available in different sizes.
Thanks, E3D↓
Can we get some sketch with cotes or better an 3D model for this amazing tools changer ?
I design my new 3d printer and i whant to add the possibility to switch to this beauty :D
Hi Maxime, as the ToolChanger is still in Beta we are unable to release any of the designs. Once finalised, the designs will be available straight away. Thanks, E3D↓
I've missed out on the beta test application but was wondering if the motion system has been released or are you waiting until the tool changer etc is out of beta?↓
Hi Mark,
All designs will be released after the Beta period is over.
Thanks, E3D↓
what will the approximate maximum tool weight be? as i woyld like to add a laser engraving head to my printer once they are on release after the beta testing↓
Hey Eric,
Based off the current design the max tool weight is 500g, however this is subject to change whilst we do further testing during Beta30 which will commence in the next few weeks.
Thanks, E3D↓
Any news for this?
Are you using the upgraded belts in the motion system or the Power grip Gates belts?
Will the carbon X rail will be available for buying?↓
Hi Mor,
Yes we are using the Gates parts on the motion system, hence why we now stock these badboys! We also have no plans to sell the carbon bar separately.
Thanks, E3D↓
Hey e3d! I'm in the tool changer line, jumped in as soon as I saw the MRRF talk. I know the original projected date in this article had the first batches shipping around now. I'm not worried about timeline slip as in projects like this it's always and estimate and I'd rather receive and well tested mature piece of equipment.
Just wanted to know if there's an updated timeline for the first few larger scale batches of the printers coming out so I can plan for the spend. Would appreciate any info even if it's wait 8 weeks and we'll give you a real update.
Hey Eric,
Thanks for your message and also your support from the very start! We are still in Beta phase with the first 30 machines being shipped within the next few weeks. We are unable to give any timescales at the moment I'm afraid but when we have definite timelines we will get in contact with you guys right away.
Thanks for the update! That's all I was looking for, good to hear the beta units are getting ready to go out, I saw Tom's recent update at E3D and the final revision looks SLICK. I'm excited to see the results of the beta printers, keep doing what you do best.
Is the tool changer print head weight balanced on both sides to ensure even load on the rail carriage, or does it just look that way?↓
Hi Christopher,
The TC printer head is not balanced, there would be little point as the tools offset the weight anyway. We are planning on having many different tools and with all of these it would not be possible to balance and would just end up adding unnecessary weight.
Thanks, E3D↓
It's now January 2019. You guys stated that the target date was Dec 2018. At least it's probably a good time to get an update out... Right?↓
Hi Andy,
We are well underway with Beta testing now, the last batch of machines are being sent this coming Tuesday (22nd Jan). We will also be releasing a blog update post within the next days. In the mean time feel free to follow our Twitter account @E3DOnline as we are posting regularly on there. Thanks, E3D↓
I am wondering if the tool changer system will be capable of high temp materials using your high temp bed and water cooled aero? Also will an upgrade be possible to allow for a 300mm x 300mm bed?
Hi Damon,
We currently print PEEK on the TC so yes it's absolutely capable of high temp materials, all you need is to add the high temp parts. It won't be possible to upgrade without a new expanded design.
Thanks, E3D↓

So my experiment with the new dynamic view has interestingly proved a point, well I think it has. On a normal day I get between 9 and say 25 pageviews when in the old blog design, although I have never worked out if that is true or the reality is, its just someone's cat, randomly walking on the keyboard of a PC somewhere in the world. Lets face it Heavy Harry does that all the time, for some reason best known to him a keyboard makes a great bed.
When I change to the new dynamic view all of a sudden the entire world likes me, take today so far 86 pageviews. WHY? This is a simple humble diary. The eccentric Diary of Rob Z Tobor, OK I can understand that the world might like to read my diary (blog); because it is not like other blogs no it is somewhat unique, as the old saying goes, Try to be the prune proudly singing in the apple tree, looking at life from the other cider ……. I fear that might just get lost in translation round the world.
Anyway the point I am making is have a standard template on my blog 3 views a day or a Dynamic template on my blog, 1034 views a day……. OK blog god who ever you are whats the game. I don't believe it.

December is here! It's the most festive time of the year, and it's time to start decorating the house for Christmas. The shops are full of wonderful decorations, but being creative, I do like to make something myself.
In previous years, I've made lots of bunting, but this year I fancied something a bit different. As soon as I saw the new range of wrapping paper from Merrie and Bright Calligraphy, I knew that I had to make something with it! In this post, I'll be running through two simple makes using this wrapping paper that can easily be completed in front of a festive film!
Origami Baubles
First up was creating some origami decorations for the tree. I'd seen a tutorial in issue 72 of Mollie Makes, but was waiting to find the right paper to use. Merrie's gorgeous deep grey paper is just the right colour to fit in with our colour scheme!
These baubles were super-easy to create, only requiring 6 10 x 10 squares of paper. I practised on some plain white printer paper first, which I'd recommend while you get the hang of the construction.
Festive Frames
Next up, was to create some festive artwork. In our living room, we have two long shelves where we have lots of framed pictures. These tend to get moved around quite a bit throughout the year, but I was keen to update them for Christmas. As this new artwork is only going to be out for one month a year, I also don't want to spend a fortune on materials, you can easily create these pictures with some nice paper and other materials you already have.
You will need:
- Wrapping paper
- Plain paper
- Scissors
- Circle cutter (optional) or a plate to draw around
- Double sided tape
- Metallic pen
- Cut your backing paper to the required size.
- Decide how big you want your bauble to be, I went for a single bauble, but a few smaller ones would also look great! I used my circle cutting tool, but if you don't have one, simply draw around a plate or cup, and cut.
- Cut a small rectangle of paper and stick to the back of your bauble using tape.
- If you want to decorate your bauble now is the time, I decided on a star that matched my backing paper for my larger picture. To do this, simply cut out your shape and stick with double-sided tape.
- Using a metallic pen, draw a line down the centre of your backing paper, going roughly half-way down.
- Using double sided tape, stick the bauble onto the backing paper.
Top tips
- If your wrapping paper is rolled, you may want to flatten it overnight before cutting.
- If you are temporarily replacing existing pictures, store the picture in the back of the frame, so that it's easy to find in January.
- Keep any offcuts and use for wrapping small presents, or even making gift tags.
I'm really happy with these makes, they really are super simple and are an easy way to update your festive décor on a small budget.
The paper for these makes has kindly been supplied by Merrie and Bright Calligraphy. I met Merrie last year and we instantly clicked over a love of all things creative! As well as her beautiful wrapping paper, Merrie stocks all kinds of lovely Christmas decorations, cake toppers, and calligraphy kits in her online store. She also runs calligraphy workshops! If you're on the hunt for beautiful Christmas gifts, her online shop is definitely worth a look.

Root Canal Treatment
The visible part of the tooth is not the only part of it! Root canal treatments involve the removal of bacteria and ease the infection in the underlying parts of the tooth. Root canal or endodontic therapy involves the decontamination of the infected tooth pulp. Each tooth has its own pulp and extends along the width of the tooth. The pulp is constituted by nerves, blood vessels and cellular entities, detrimental components to the health and fluidity of the mouth and not only. By having infected root canals, you are not only your tooth at risk but subsequent areas of your body. Parkwood Green Dental acquires state of the art root canal treatment procedures to ensure that your teeth are maintained in good condition without any infections.
By utilising state of the art techniques and medical apparatus, Parkwood Green Dental's certified staff obtain the experience to exceed and perform root canal treatment procedures efficiently and minimising the discomfort for our patient. In brief, a root canal infection or damage to the pulp can occur from the following:
With the conditions mentioned above, bacteria flourish and permeate through into the root canal causing inflammation and discomfort. Our exquisite team of dentists here at Parkwood Green Dental are equipped with the necessary knowledge and obtain the fundamental skill set to perform root canal treatment effectively, every time! Whether you are in need of a dental check-up or have acquired a root canal infection, we will handle each case responsibly ensuring you get the results you deserve! Contact Parkwood Green Dental, today!
Medical emergencies and acute work injuries will be seen promptly and do not require an appointment.

Revealing identities of analysts involved could end in federal prosecution
Steve Watson
Sept 13, 2011
The CIA has issued legal threats against two film producers who have discovered intimate details of a cover up regarding the intelligence agency and two of the purported 9/11 hijackers.
Ray Nowosielski and John Duffy, the producers of the popular 9/11 documentary '9/11 Press for Truth', were contacted by the CIA last week on September 8th regarding extensive research, interviews and findings that have led them to discover the identities of two key CIA analysts who were instrumental in the conspiracy.
The film's producers initially only referred to the CIA analysts by their first names, but expressed their intention to later reveal their full identities in a forthcoming "investigative podcast", which seemingly prompted the agency to step in.
"While producing our investigative podcast "Who Is Rich Blee?," intended to be released on Sunday, our team managed to deduce the likely identities of two CIA employees at the heart of a notorious failure in the run up to the September 11th tragedy." a statement reads on the producer's website, which was offline for most of yesterday.
"On Thursday, we submitted our script to CIA along with a request to interview the two employees," the statement continues. "We wanted to be fair in giving them a chance to tell their sides of the story. Instead, the Agency sent us a message threatening that if we went forward with the names included in the piece that it would be a potential violation of federal criminal law."
Duffy and Nowosielski also interviewed former counterterrorism czar Richard Clarke, who told them on the record that he has intelligence that three former top CIA officials – George Tenet, Cofer Black and Richard Blee – knowingly withheld key information on the alleged hijackers from the White House, the FBI, Immigration and the State and Defense Departments.
The information dovetails with findings from 2002, first reported in Newsweek, that the known terrorists were being closely tracked by the CIA as they moved inside and outside the US, and that the agency did not inform INS, which could have turned them away at the border, nor did they notify the FBI.
The two recently detailed some of their findings in an interview with former FBI translator turned whistleblower, Sibel Edmonds. MP3 [1:08:53]
Duffy and Nowosielski are said to be working with legal advisors and considering their position.
"We have done nothing wrong." Their website states. "The CIA have now put us in a position where we must choose between participating in their decade-long protection of these individuals at the expense of public safety or possibly facing prosecution. We are weighing our options and deciding what is right and best for all concerned. We will release our decision and some version of the investigative podcast in the coming days."

What You Need to Know – Supreme Court's decision legalising Passive Euthanasia
The Supreme Court has finally come out with a judgment clarifying the uncertain waters surrounding the concept of assisted suicide or euthanasia. By holding that the fundamental right to live also includes the right to die with dignity, the judgment brings to conclusion a long-standing ethical, moral, religious and legal dilemma. The Supreme Court had been known for its conflicting stand on this issue over the years. In the absence of any legislation to this effect, the judgment allows the terminally ill, comatose and brain dead to end their life with dignity through either a living will or a next friend.
Here is what you need to know about Euthanasia and the evolution of its legal standing –
Euthanasia – The Concept – Euthanasia refers to the painless killing of a patient, who is either in a vegetative state, comatose or suffering from a non-reversible, terminal disease. There are two types of Euthanasia which are broadly used in medical terms, active and passive. Usually administered through a physician, it is a form of mercy killing and hence raises a myriad question in the legal sphere. The answer to them calls for striking a balancing act between personal choice and the society's interest in the life of a person.
Active vs. Passive Euthanasia – Active euthanasia differs from passive euthanasia in as much as in it death is brought about by an act of commission – for example, a person is killed by being given an overdose of pain killers or injecting a lethal dose of a heart stopping medicine. On the other hand, in passive euthanasia, death is brought by omission. In other words, by not carrying out any medical intervention to save the person's life, withdrawing life support, removing from ventilator, etc. The Court has also distinguished between voluntary euthanasia and non-voluntary euthanasia in the sense that voluntary euthanasia is where consent is taken from the patient himself and non-voluntary euthanasia is where the consent is unavailable, for instances when the patient is in coma or is otherwise unable to give consent. In such cases, decision is taken either by a relative, called "next friend", or if the patient had drawn a Living Will leaving specific instruction on how he is to be treated in such circumstances. For e.g., a Living Will sets down whether a man is to be resuscitated or not once his heart rate has flat lined.
In the words of the Hon'ble Supreme Court –
"Euthanasia is basically an intentional premature termination of another person's life either by direct intervention (active euthanasia) or by withholding life-prolonging measures and resources (passive euthanasia) either at the express or implied request of that person (voluntary euthanasia) or in the absence of such approval/consent (non-voluntary euthanasia)."
Euthanasia and the Supreme Court – The Supreme Court, in Gian Kaur vs. State of Punjab[1], clearly held that euthanasia and assisted suicide are not lawful in our country. The court, however, referred to the principles laid down by the Airedale case, where the House of Lords accepted that withdrawal of life supporting systems on the basis of informed medical opinion would be lawful because such withdrawal would only allow the patient who is beyond recovery to die a normal death, where there is no longer any duty to prolong life. Yet, it overruled the case of P. Rathinam vs. Union of India [2] wherein it was observed that criminalization of the act of suicide was inhuman and the right to life, in essence, includes the right to die. Later, in the landmark case of Aruna Ramchandra Shanbaug vs. Union of India[3], the Supreme Court allowed passive euthanasia in India, provided the circumstances were extreme. On 9th March, 2018, the Constitution Bench of the Supreme Court, in delivering its verdict on a PIL filed by Common Cause (an NGO) legalized passive euthanasia and the right to draft a Living Will thereby expanding the scope of Article 21 of the Constitution of India.
Snapshot of the crucial issues addressed by the Supreme Court in various cases :-
- Rathinam's case (1994) – The question of unconstitutionality of Section 309 of the Indian Penal Code – Punishment for attempted suicide – held that criminalizing suicide was inhuman
- Gian Kaur's case (1996) – The question of unconstitutionality of Section 306 of the Indian Penal Code – Punishment for Abetment of suicide – Held that the right to life does not include the right to die and even doctors cannot actively assist in ending a patient's life
- Aruna Shaunbag's Case (2011) – The question of passive euthanasia – held that passive euthanasia is exigent circumstances was not illegal
- Common Cause Society's Case (2018)[4] – This case arose from the Aruna Shanbaug judgment and, primarily, addressed the questions of Social morality, medical ethicality and State interest while holding that passive euthanasia and living wills are legal in order to acknowledge a person's right to die with dignity

Cultural Artefact: Picture Theatres
Picture Theatres appeared in Tasmania before the First World War, when silent newsreels then films started to fascinate audiences. Silent films, projected by hand-driven machines, were shown in specially constructed picture palaces such as the Princess Theatre, Brisbane Street, Launceston, 1911; the Palace in Hobart; and North Hobart's Picture Palace, 1913-14. In the 1920s larger picture theatres appeared, including in Hobart the Strand and the Amuzu (formerly a chapel, later the Playhouse).
In the late 1920s when 'talkies' took over from silent films more picture theatres appeared in the main population centres, and were particularly important as cheap entertainment in the Depression. Hobart's picture theatres included the Prince of Wales, His Majesty's, the Variety Theatrette (one of the few Australian rear-screen-projection theatres) and the Avalon. Launceston was served by the Majestic, the Plaza and the Star. Suburban and country centres had theatres such as the Lyric (Scottsdale), Plaza (New Norfolk), Paragon and Empire (Queenstown), Gaiety (Zeehan) and Melrose (Glenorchy), or suitably adapted local halls or RSL clubrooms; for example, from 1928 the Bellerive town hall also served as the Regent Cinema. By 1935 the North Hobart Picture Palace was renamed the Liberty, after phases as a live theatre, billiard saloon, gymnasium and boxing arena in the silent-to-sound period.
Travelling picture showmen such as George Bullock showed films in country halls, transporting home-made projectors and carbon arc-lamps in motor vans. Bullock and Olaf (Ollie) Jacobson were among cinema pioneers and developed Tasmania's first locally built talkie-projector. Jacobson, a former projectionist at the Liberty, opened picture theatres in community halls at Ranelagh, Huonville and Kingston immediately after the Second World War.
In the 1950s picture theatres prospered as the people's major form of entertainment, and appeared in virtually every suburb and country town. The Liberty was renamed the State in 1948, the Strand became the Odeon (Theatre of Tomorrow) in 1956, and 35-mm films were presented to diverse audiences including university students at the Arts Lecture Theatre, and patients and nursing staff at St John's Park, New Town. Continuous newsreel theatres, both called the Tatler, opened in Hobart and Launceston. For a short period cinema-goers could enjoy open air drive-in cinemas at Glenorchy and Warrane in Hobart, and in Launceston, Devonport and Burnie.
To compete with the television phenomenon, Hollywood introduced new wide-screen presentation techniques such as Cinemascope and Vista Vision, and these soon appeared at Hobart's Prince of Wales and Launceston's Princess theatres, closely followed by Jacobson's theatres. But by the 1960s the competition of television was proving too strong, and brought about the demise of the picture-theatre circuit. In Hobart and Launceston, all suburban picture theatres ultimately closed, and one by one major theatres closed too, replaced by a chain operated by Village Cinemas. Few original picture theatre operations have survived, exceptions being the alternative single-screen State Cinema in Hobart, the Hobart Film Society and film societies in Launceston and Ulverstone. New Norfolk's Plaza closed in 2003. Recent developments include new cinema complexes in Glenorchy (four screens), Rosny (four screens), Devonport and Burnie.
With few if any exceptions, picture theatres operated with specially constructed projection booths which housed two 35-mm projectors with carbon arc-lamp light sources, and from the late 1970s more reliable Xenon lamps. Projection methods have undergone changes from manual operations to semi- and fully automatic systems.

It was on Brookline Avenue, not in a forest, so we assume people heard it fall
Roving UHub photographer Michelle Lowe Ocana marvels this large tree limb on Brookline Avenue at the Riverway didn't hit anybody when it could no longer fight the law of gravity this afternoon.
Tree Down at Brookline Ave @universalhub pic.twitter.com/sOY9PWE2M3

Do you like how UHub is doing? Consider a contribution. Thanks!
Ugh :( No surprise
This makes me so mad. I reported this tree to 311 back in July of 2017 as being dead and in danger of falling on the sidewalk. It was forwarded to the Parks Dept. and I followed up with them twice and was assured that it was being looked into but that it sometimes takes months to get trees taken down. I just walked under this tree a few days ago and realized it was in MUCH worse shape and that I should reach out again to report it. Doubt it would have done much good. I'm so glad that no one was hurt. This is so infuriating though.
From 311

I once called about a dead tree in front of my house in East Boston and they ended up showing up and cutting it down, as well as the "good" tree that was in the next spot. When I called to ask why they cut down a perfectly good tree, they told me they had no record of the that tree. So, basically they paid someone to cut down a tree they didn't even know that they had! Haven't been back there in quite some time, but I'd bet there were no new trees planted.

In Bed with the Beast (The Naughty Princess Club, #2) by Tara Sivec
Series: Naughty Princess Club #2

Genres: Romance, Romantic Comedy, Contemporary
Pages: 304

A tale as old as time: she needs a place to stay, he's a grump with a secret and an extra room...can love find a way?
Meet the Naughty Princess Club, a series from USA Today bestselling author Tara Sivec that brings readers to Fairytale Lane and the hilarity—and romance—that three women fall into once they decide to strut their stuff and bring on their own happily ever after.
Living in her overprotective dad's basement, shy Belle lives her life through books. Being a part of the Naughty Princess Club is the first adventure she's ever had, plus she desperately needs the money to save one of her favorite places - the local library.
But when her new friends and new business gets her kicked out of her dad's house, Belle is rescued by the surly Vincent "Beast" Adams who invites her to be his house guest until she gets back on her feet. Despite his attitude problem and long list of rules, Belle finds herself warming to the muscled man with a penchant for growling and starts seeing a gentle side to him that wasn't there before.
Yet there's a room that Beast keeps locked and Belle keeps getting hints that Beast is hiding something…can a nerdy librarian tame the beast or will their romance be over before it has a chance to blossom?
"He's been overly polite with me during the few minutes each day we see each other, which I'm quickly realizing I don't like one bit. I've actually grown to kind of like his surly, overbearing nature."
The premise behind the story of the "Beauty & The Beast" is and always will be one of my favorites. It has been done a variety of different ways and in different settings but the concept is always the same. I can't get enough of it and Tara just nailed my need for another right here.
"I'm nobody's hero, princess. And this isn't a fairy tale."
This is such a great spoof on the Disney classics. The first one was Cinderella and now this is Belle's chance to find happiness. The play on stuff from the movie was done just enough to make me chuckle but not over done to where I would roll my eyes at it. This could stand on its own just like the first book and I love that Tara made sure that they could.
"Sweet mother of pearl, he's got the V."
My only request would have been to get a little more one on one time between Belle and Beast. They had a lot scenes together and everything about those scenes were fantastic, I just wanted them to not be so short. Well sometimes they felt that way and I know he was a man of few words but I would have liked to seen the connection between them more. This doesn't mean I didn't love the book, because I did. I just missed that part and that's my favorite part of reading romance, the fall. Nothing makes me swoon harder than watching a man fall in love. It's book crack I tell ya!
Tara you're amazing at what you do. Keep it up and I can't wait for Ariel's book! She's basically me and I'm ready to fall for Eric. I love me some love-hate angry sex. The harder they fight it the hotter it is. LOL!

Renting a Home with Briscombe, Nutter & Staff
Application Forms and Referencing
Once you have contacted Briscombe Nutter & Staff, chosen the properties that you like from the vacant properties available and arranged to view them, our lettings team will give you the relevant Tenancy Application Form to complete and advise you exactly how much money in total is required. If you feel you may need a guarantor, a separate guarantor form is available on request.
Subject to the Landlord accepting your application, you will be required to complete a holding deposit form and provide a deposit of £125, with which the property is then secured and taken off the market. Please note THIS IS NOT A FEE. After the holding deposit has been paid, you then have 15 calendar days to move into the property. Any holding deposits will then be returned and offset against the initial rent and deposit, with the agreement of the payee.
In certain circumstances it may be deemed necessary to arrange a guarantor. If so, the relevant paperwork must be completed and returned as part of your Tenancy Agreement. The Guarantor will be liable to pay your rent if you are unable to do so.
All tenants must go through our referencing process. Please ensure that the requested information is disclosed, as withholding information may seriously affect your application. Draft application forms are available on request.
Moving In
Once your application has been approved, we will contact you and arrange a "move-in" date for you.
The dilapidations deposit/bond (normally equivalent to the monthly rental value) and one months rent in advance must be cleared funds before you take possession of your property.
The day you move into the property (or before if more convenient), the legal agreements and inventory will be signed. Our lettings team will then hand over the keys to your new home. There is no need to worry about contacting the utility companies – we take care of all that for you.
Rent Payments
The monthly rent must then be paid by standing order, leaving you free to enjoy the comforts of your new home.
Tenants notes
- Anyone over the age of 18 that lives in the property must be referenced and their names included on the tenancy agreement.
- The administration fee must be "cleared funds". Applications will not be processed until funds are cleared.
- The rent paid does not include services such as gas, electricity, water or council tax. It is up to the tenant to obtain a telephone line and television licence.
- Please remember that you will need insurance for your contents and accidental damage cover for the landlords contents. Specialist tenants insurance is available on request.
- All our Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreements are for a minimum of 6 months, the terms and clauses are non-negotiable. The tenancy agreement is a legally binding document between the landlord and tenant. Please read your Agreement carefully and take time to fully understand the terms and conditions. If you do not understand any part, we would recommend you seek legal advice. To save time on the day of moving in please ask for an appointment prior to the moving in day.
- If any tenant has reason to leave before the lease has expired he/she will be liable for any outstanding rent and bills up to and until the end of the tenancy. The Landlord may be prepared to accept payment until a new tenant is found and in this instance the tenant shall be responsible for the landlords out of pocket expenses associated with re-letting the property and this will automatically be deducted from the dilapidations deposit.
- All properties are inspected on a regular basis by our service partner LetClever, with reasonable prior notice. Should any breaches of the lease be observed the tenant will be notified and such breaches must be rectified.
- Briscombe Nutter & Staff reserves the right to refuse any application without giving reason.
- All parties named in the Tenancy Agreement must sign the Agreement prior to the commencement of the tenancy.

PizzaExpress has launched a new and improved wine list, the most significant changes to be made since 1965.
The new list was compiled by Master of Wine Adrian Garforth and food-matching was a priority in terms of selection.
Established grape varieties have been represented but there is a new emphasis on introducing lesser-known grapes as part of a blend, with options such as Nero d'Avola Shiraz and Inzolia Chardonnay.
Tim Gambrill, head of food and drink at PizzaExpress, commented: Blending varieties has made the offering more accessible. We've found that Sicily in particular has some great wines to offer.'

"DiscoverOrg is just a much better value. It gave us the tool we needed to fill our CRM with the right accounts and contacts."
-David Donegan, Sales Development Manager, Global Shares
The Customer
Global Shares, an Irish global leader in stock option management software, provides equity plan administration, global custody, share-dealing, and financial reporting services to companies and their employees in over 100 countries worldwide.
The Challenge
Global Shares delivers stock option management solutions that help create long-term security for its clients and their employees. But when it came to identifying prospects by several critical macro-level parameters, Global Shares found its existing data provider lacked the precision to target only the qualified accounts it was after.
With a CRM in need of help and a lack of actionable data to grow its territories, Global Shares invested in DiscoverOrg.
The Solution
Global Shares selected DiscoverOrg's Finance & HR Datasets to get access to highly accurate contact data and deep market intelligence. Unlike Global Shares' previous data provider, which operated on a credit-per-contact model, DiscoverOrg's data model is unlimited. This opened the door to a level of scalability that was cost prohibitive before.
"With DiscoverOrg's model, we can focus on building our business, not counting credits," says David Donegan, Sales Development Manager at Global Shares. "We get the information we need, efficiently and affordably."
But quantity means nothing without the quality to back it up, and Global Shares enjoyed more value from DiscoverOrg's data than it could have hoped. "The direct dials are extremely strong and emails have ultra-low bounce rates," Donegan says. "We're able to connect with the decision-makers that we're looking for much, much faster thanks to the quality of the data." Phone numbers, emails, org charts – Global Shares gets it all at its fingertips automatically. Donegan estimates that each of his SDRs now save more than 30 minutes per day of manual research time, adding back the equivalent productivity of an additional ½ SDR – without the extra cost of hiring.
The macro-level filters and details only available from DiscoverOrg powered the creation of Global Shares' BDR territories, totally enabling the overhaul and repair of its CRM. "The unique nature of our offerings mean we're targeting businesses that check very specific boxes," Donegan says. "Things like employee totals, revenue growth numbers, technology stacks used – now we can search, filter, and save by these parameters and truly identify our targets and territories." And since DiscoverOrg integrates directly with Microsoft Dynamics CRM, Donegan and his team saved an estimated 3 months populating and building out their territories with target accounts.
Since partnering with DiscoverOrg, Global Shares has grown its business development team by 5x, fueled by the well-populated territories and streamlined CRM health delivered by DiscoverOrg. All of its SDRs have met their meetings-booked goals each of the past six months, and fully half the team is exceeding that pace.
"We could never have scaled at this rate without DiscoverOrg," says Donegan. "The sky's the limit now."
Now that's a smart investment, made possible by DiscoverOrg.

The Romance of Natural Wonders — Bioluminescence
If your heart is set on a destination proposal, no location may be more awe-inspiring than the Bioluminescent Bay on the Southern shore of Isla de Vieques in Puerto Rico. On a dark night lit only by a crescent moon, travel by boat through the shallow waters of this romantic lagoon.
The water teems with microscopic fluorescent organisms that light when disturbed so that the boat's wake pattern glows a brilliant blue-white, illuminating an aura of light around you and your love. In this intimate setting, propose to her and reveal to her a Mark Schneider engagement ring, radiant in the light that emanates from this natural phenomenon.
Light Up the Night Sky — Lantern Festival
Wish lanterns light the night sky during celebrations year-round in many Asiatic countries, and if that seems beyond your reach, you can plan a lantern release in your own city. One of the most spectacular of these celebrations is the festival of Loy Kratong held in Chiang Mai, Thailand, where lovers are drawn to the riverbanks to float candles on the surface of the water and set lanterns free into the sky.
Such an incandescent sky would make an amorous backdrop for a marriage proposal. Once the ring is on her finger, you can release a lantern of your own and make a wish for your lustrous future together.
A Heart of an Island — Tavaura
Plan a trip with your love to Tahiti and take a helicopter ride over the vibrant Tahitian islands. On a grand scale in dark bricks to contrast with the white shore, write the question "Will you marry me?" on the coast of the heart-shaped Tavarua Island. Propose to her as you fly together over this picturesque island.
If something less extravagant fits her personality better, write the question in the sand at a local beach, take a walk along the shore together, and propose to her when you reach your message.
The City of Love — Paris
In Paris, the city of lovers, the bridges over the River Seine are coated in locks initialed and secured there by couples in love, and the floor of the river is sprinkled with their keys so that these emblems of their romance can never be removed. The tradition of love padlocks has spread to many metropolitan areas throughout Europe, and if a European vacation is not in your plans, you can bring the tradition to a bridge in your own town by placing the first lock.
Propose on a bridge like this and after she accepts, affix to the bridge a lock engraved with your names and toss its key into the river below.
Whimsical Castle at the Beach — DIY
If she's a beach girl at heart, make her feel like a princess with a proposal inside a life-size sand castle. Master sand sculptors travel the world creating awe-inspiring sand sculptures for competitions and media attention.
Find out when the next sand sculpture contest is coming to your area, and collaborate with one of the artists to create a romantic setting where you can ask for her hand in marriage. She will appreciate your hard work and creativity!
Picnic on Top of the World — Day Hike
For an outdoorsy girl, plan a hiking date at the most beautiful mountain range nearest to you. As you walk together along a remote hiking path, you both can enjoy breathtaking views of waterfalls, meadows, lakes, trees, and mountains.
When you reach the summit, send her on an errand and set up your surprise picnic. For a more elaborate picnic, set up the day before, but make sure not to leave food that bears can find! Pop the question during the picnic or hide the ring in the crevace of a tree when she's not looking, and tell her to carve your initials on a spot nearby so she can discover it!
Skywriting Surprise
Go to a park or a beach and hire a skywriter to write "Marry Me" above you, and when she sees your message, get down on one knee and propose. Everyone nearby will see your heartfelt words in the sky while you and your love enjoy this special moment alone together.
To take it up a notch, if your partner is adventurous, arrange for an airplane ride adventure, and when you get up in the air, point out the skywriting as if you are just noticing it, and watch as the words take shape. If your skywriter makes a heart and your pilot is game, make it an unforgettable moment and fly through the center of it as you are making your proposal.
Dinner and a Movie — With a Little Something Extra
Make the classic dinner and a movie date unforgettable with a surprise proposal. If you'd like to surprise her at a romantic restaurant, have the waiter deliver a menu with your proposal written inside, or have the chef spell out your proposal in chocolate syrup on the edge of her dessert plate.
For a more unusual proposal, arrange ahead of time for the theater to run a specially prepared "advertisement" featuring your proposal on the screen before the movie begins. Be bold and clear with your message, or dare to cleverly include the words in something that looks like a regular movie ad. She may see it a few times before she notices!
Floating above the Sunset — MAJESTIC WONDER
If you're seeking a proposal with an element of adventure, propose to her while gliding on a gentle breeze high above a picturesque landscape in a hot air balloon. The excitement of the ride, and the beauty of the view are a winning combination for setting the stage for a romantic moment.
Pop the question when you're surrounded by the vibrant colors of the sunset, and enjoy a bottle of champagne and a limo ride home when you come down.

Hello, CKC Family! Ever since the release, I've had fans ask how to turn the Danika's dress into a stylish yukata…so today is the day! Follow these super easy steps and you'll have a cute robe in less than an hour!
Materials you will need:
· Enough SILKY fabric for a Danika's dress
· Lace or trim (optional)
· Scissors
· Pins
· Sewing machine
Step 1 – Adding the Sleeve (optional):
After cutting out the Danika pattern piece, we are going to do a little altering to the original piece! You may choose to add some length to the sleeve. This step is completely optional…the yukata will turn out totally cute with the sleeve design already in the pattern! To lengthen the sleeve while cutting the front and back pieces, continue the shoulder seam down the amount you want to lengthen. For this one, I'm choosing 5". Then you will continue down with a straight vertical line the width you want your sleeve to be. For this one, I'm doing a wide 12" opening. Finally, cut from the bottom of the sleeve back up to the mark for seam placement that is already noted on the pattern! Ta Da! A new sleeve!
Step 2 – Cutting the Length:
Next, we are going to cut the length of the yukata. Measure the distance between the top cut line and dress cut line and divide by two. Measure down from the top length that amount and draw a line…this is your new length line. You will want more of a tunic length for your yukata!
Step 3 – Constructing the Dress:
Once we have the front and back pieces cut out to our personal preference, we will now follow the instructions of the pattern following steps 8 and 9. For step 9, you will continue the sleeve seam as shown in the photo.
Step 4 – Cutting the Front:
Next we are going to open up the front of the dress. Find the center of the front neckline and the center of the front hem and mark with pins. Using a fabric pen or tailor's chalk, draw a line from pin to pin so you have a vertical line down the front. Cut on the line down the FRONT OF THE DRESS ONLY.
Step 5 – Adjusting the Neckline:
We are now going to smooth out the neckline. There is no wrong way to do this! Starting at the neck curve, you can cut a straight line to the center front, or you may choose to curve it. Either way you decide, make sure you do it the same way on both sides of the yukata.
Step 6 – Hemming:
You are now going to be doing rolled hems along the bottom, front and neckline of the yukata, and along both arm openings. This is easiest with a serger. If you do not have a serger, you are still able to do it, it will just take a little longer. To do a rolled hem on a sewing machine, fold the fabric back 1/4", iron, then turn it back another 1/4", iron and sew 1/8" away from the fold. It's very simple, just time consuming, but it is worth it!
Step 7 – Adding Trim (optional):
You may choose to embellish your new yukata with lace, bias trim or even a pretty ribbon! You can sew it to the bottom hem, around the front and neckline, the sleeves…or all of the above!
And look at that! You just modified a fabulous pattern in 7 easy steps! There are so many possibilities to customize them by adding different lace or ribbon to the openings or trying different printed fabric! Try that pretty robe on and prepare to feel amazing!
Be sure to share your Danika's yukata creations in the pattern group!
Love, Kristi

Seventy-one days into his administration, Barack Obama has distingished himself by granting zero pardons and commutations. As a result, he is among the ten slowest presidents to exercise the pardon power in our Nation's two hundred and twenty year history. With Jimmy Carter just around the corner (at 82 days), Obama will soon find himself among a very short list of "law and order" Republicans and "Alien and Sedition Law" Federalists.
Hope and Change! Hope and Change! Yes, We Can! Yes We Can!

The Rise of Smart Authentication
It's the 21st century marketing mantra: Never underestimate the power of 'smart.' After all, we have 'smart' phones, 'smart TVs', a 'smart' doorbell and yes, even a 'smart' dishwasher. Retail niches aside though, when it comes to the stuff that really matters, (like keeping your private information private), what about 'smart' authentication?
As detailed in this Network World article, multifactor authentication strategies, while rising in popularity continue to be dogged by the tradeoff of usability and security. In other words, if authentication solutions are not simple and convenient, users will not accept them. Conversely, if they are not secure, hackers will exploit them and compromise users.
Which is largely the reason so-called 'smart' authentication strategies that contextualize user behavior by comparing patterns of behavior interpolated by sophisticated algorithms have emerged to produce more secure as well as easy-to-use experiences. This includes continuously monitoring and scoring — in real-time — the way users interact with their computers and mobile devices via mouse movements, keystrokes, and gesture dynamics.
Additionally, since the authentication occurs transparently, neither users nor hackers are aware they are being 'forensically monitored' (my term for this), and have no "out" to game the system.
Leveraging this contextual data to authenticate a user involves analyzing patterns to evaluate if they match behaviors historically reflected by the user or account holder or, significantly, if they directly correlate with known hacker activity.
For example, if the user's device accessing an app is geographically located in an area known for hacker activity, rather than the home or office location of the user or account holder, access can be blocked or step-up authentication invoked. Further, if a request to access an account does not originate from a phone associated with the user's phone number already on file, access can likewise be restricted.
That's not to say that multi-factor authentication will eventually result in diminishing returns. On the contrary. If the system detects an anomaly in the user's behavior pattern, additional authenticators (i.e. the use of a one-time password [OTP] delivered by SMS) could be required before access is granted. As a result, users authenticate themselves only when their expected patterns of behavior change, thereby improving the user experience and amplifying the value of a security strategy that's both convenient and easy-to-use.
The takeaway? A user's behavior may change, but the user remains the same person.
So, has contextual authentication and behavioral biometrics entered the early adopter stage, on the verge of becoming mainstream or hovering somewhere in-between?
While it is certainly more of gaining traction in select industry niches, according to industry analysts, the global behavioral biometrics market is forecasted to grow at a CAGR of 17.34% during the period 2016-2020.
Practically speaking though, how is 'smart' authentication being received in the real world? Glad you asked.
A recently published online survey by Equifax found that 56% of UK consumers favor the use of biometric security over more traditional options such as passwords to log into their financial accounts online. In fact, 33% of individuals surveyed preferred to use fingerprint recognition to access their accounts, with iris scanners, facial recognition and voice recognition following suit. Not surprisingly, only 19% of people favored using passwords and even less selected memorable questions, both options that, of course, supplanted by the convenience and security available through biometric authentication.
For mobile banking users, this is an especially significant development, as passwords are fast becoming prologue to an entirely new generation of authentication solutions. This is especially true as mobile technology evolves and banks and other financial institutions look to reconcile consumer demand for biometric security solutions with their availability. In this new "age of the customer", it may very well be that a multi-layer approach, inclusive of behavioral biometrics and device recognition present the most secure foundation on which to build positive customer experiences.
In sum, smarter devices are all well and good and they're certainly not going away any time soon. However, when they're supplemented by smart authentication solutions, they also achieve the twin goal of usability and security that maintains productive, secure, as well as long-term customer relationships.

William Gibson's Alien 3 Screenplay Comes to Comics this November
An Alien blockbuster is coming to a comic shop near you when Dark Horse Comics brings William Gibson's original, unproduced Alien 3 script to life with the help of writer and artist Johnnie Christmas. While Gibson was a contributor in the early phase of the writing for Alien 3, ultimately most of his concepts never made it into the final film. As the father of the cyberpunk genre with titles like Neuromancer, Count Zero, and Mona Lisa Overdrive, Dark Horse is thrilled to see Gibson's vision fully realized for the first time!
Following the deadly events of Aliens, the Union of Progressive Peoples intercepts the spaceship carrying the hibernating bodies of Ripley, Hicks, Newt, and Bishop. But unbeknownst to them, they have also picked up another deadly passenger whose discovery will unleash a race between two governments to weaponize the xenomorph in this horrifying and poignant Cold War-themed thriller.
With an intense script by Gibson, cinematic art by Johnnie Christmas, vibrant colors by Tamra Bonvillain, and a slate of variant covers by James Harren, Daniel Warren Johnson, Paolo Rivera, Tradd Moore, and Christian Ward, William Gibson's Alien 3 is the "what if?" fans have been asking for!
William Gibson's Alien 3 #1 (of five) goes on sale November 7, 2018.
