Best cocktails in town – with games on the side
The Senet Game Bar in Tigard occupies a unique space in the local food and beverage scene.
Along with possibly the most innovative and colorful cocktails anywhere in the Portland metro area, it is probably the only place where you can go for drinks with friends and also enjoy a lively game of Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza. That's just one of the many options for people looking to liven up their night out. There are plenty of quick and fun games, along with trivia nights and special Bingo nights where part of the proceeds goes to local charities such as Project Lemonade, a Portland nonprofit that works to provide foster children with clothing and other items that help bolster their self-esteem.
Located on the upper floor at 12553 SW Main Street in Tigard, the Senet Game Bar occupies a former bike shop in a light and airy space boasting local artists and tables and a bar crafted from the lanes of an old bowling alley.
"We opened in June 2019 and we had about eight months before the shutdown," says owner Derrick Wright. "Just when everything is going smoothly, you have to figure out something else."
Senet Game Bar, which takes its name from an ancient Egyptian board game, survived through the seemingly endless business restrictions brought on by the pandemic by serving its delicious cocktails on a to-go basis. They cultivated a loyal customer base that helped them stay afloat through lean times and has now inspired a slight change of direction where their business is concerned.
"We are really trying to broaden our appeal to people who are looking for an experience that you don't have to go to Portland for," says bartender and mixologist Katie Sabolek. "We want to appeal to people who want to go out and have great cocktails and have fun with their friends."
Where they once tried to cater to a more serious gaming crowd, Wright now wants to bring a lighter feel to the table, along with an expanded breakfast menu to complement colorful drinks with names like Carmen Sandiego, Cucumber Collins and the Dreamsicle.
"We've got really light games, and we've been teaching people in their 20s who have never played a board game," Wright said. "I have a few of them at ready. We're going to focus on the games for people who aren't really game players. They can just walk in and have a fun time with their friends."

Nadar must not have met D Schroder yet. If he thinks he's high character then he's not the greatest judge of character.
Nader is a terrific guy, but OKC will soon realize that he just doesn't have NBA-level talent.
It took the author of the Dennis Schröder basketball article only two sentences for the mandatory Adolf Hitler reference in connection with Germany. Congratulations, that must be some kind of record!
And to describe the city of Braunschweig as a "small town of 250,000" is a real howler, given the fact that it is part of an economically strong region with Hannover and Wolfsburg (VW headquarters). That's not your usual impoverished crime-ridden U.S. boonies with trailer parks and a Minor League baseball team.
Yeah, and growing up in Germany has been really, really tough for Schröder. Free healthcare, free education, safe housing conditions and €20 annual participation fee to his youth sports club. Could be the reason why the article didn't specify any of those "tough" Germany living conditions. But maybe Schröder and the author of the article prefer the U.S. alternative of getting harassed, arrested and killed by police for being black and "looking suspicious".
Schröder uses his migration background in a typical manner to play the victim card and score sympathy points. Ironically, it took coming to the U.S. for him to get arrested by the police.
A guy like him, notorious for arrogant and disrespectful behavior, should never be mentioned in the same breath with Nowitzki and Schrempf.
All in all another prejudiced, embarrassingly uninformed and expendable U.S. media piece regarding a foreign topic. Trump's anti-intellectualism at its best.
His story is good material for an article, but wow did it get burdened by the writer… plus crucial things are overlooked. But he got the Hitler part nailed down. I guess, who cares.
To be fair, it appears that that article is intended to promote a video 'trilogy' rather than be a piece on its own. And, in OKCity, they take pro basketball with broad-based serious intent.
Oh good, another ignorant, uneducated Trump hater. We were running out of those. Just for your own education, white people are more likely to be victims of police violence than blacks. Oh, and Schroeder is a white guy. But I'm sure facts like those have no place in your bigoted mind.

Robotics Team Wins Silicon Valley Regional Competition
Team 254, "The Cheesy Poofs," claimed victory in the FIRST Silicon Valley Regional Tournament, held March 28 - 31 at the San Jose State University Event Center. The win marks the 11th consecutive victory at this event for Team 254, who joined with alliance partners Team 973, The Greybots from Atascadero, and Team 2367, Lancer Robotics from Mountain View. Bellarmine's Team 254 has won the Silicon Valley Regional 19 of 20 times since 1999.
The competition drew 60 teams, mostly from California, but also from Rio Grande do Sul, New South Wales, Santo Domingo, and Istanbul.
"At the Silicon Valley Regional, we would not have been able to be so successful without the amazing teams that we were able to work with during our qualification and elimination matches," noted Bellarmine sophomore and Team 254 member, Shruthik Musukula.
Team 254's robot, Lockdown, was designed and built in Bellarmine's on-campus robotics lab. Team 254 also won the Innovation in Control Award sponsored by Rockwell Automation for its autonomous code, and one of the team's mentors, Nick Hammes, received the Volunteer of the Year award. The victory also marks the team earning it's 50th Blue Banner, given to division winners, world champions, regional champions, and regional chairman's award winners.
Team 254 is moderated by faculty members Brad Lindemann, Dan Judnick, Peng Yav, David Dutton, and Adam Wilson. The team will next be competing at the FIRST Championship in Houston, April 18-21, with teams from the south and western U.S. and countries across the world, including Israel, Australia, and China.

We aim to connect independant accommodation providers, tour operators, sport schools and the various other service vendors primarily involved in the adventure sports and activity holidays leisure industry with individuals and groups involved in the participation of active outdoor pursuits such as canoeing, climbing, cycling, kayaking, kitesurfing, running, sailing, scuba diving, skiing, snowboarding, surfing walking and windsurfing.
Many people who take part in outdoor adventure activities tend to participate in several different activities. For instance it's highly probable that someone who surfs will also snowboard or somebody into rock climbing might equally enjoy scuba diving, skiing and/or mountain biking. Therefore logic tells us that it makes sense to provide these active, time constrained people with as much useful information as possible in one place.
By advertising on Devotion2motion.com you are helping to do that and as a consequence gaining access to a wider spectrum of customers automatically without the additional cost of advertising in several places at once.
It's important for any company expending hard won profits on any function of the business to be able to realise a return on investment through such activities. One booking achieved as a result of advertising on Devotion2motion.com, in most cases, delivers in excess of a one hundred percent return on that investment.
At Devotion2motion.com we aim to keep advertising costs as low as possible. We realise that most of our customers are small to medium sized businesses that simply don't have the marketing budgets of the big travel industry operators. That's why the cheapest advert that can be placed on Devotion2motion.com only costs £10.00(€7.00 or $6.00 approximately). This is to post notice of an upcoming event for any of the headline activities covered on this site.
Accommodation providers and small independent tour operators can advertise their businesses from as little as £10.00 per month while for course providers that figure drops even lower to just under £4.00.

Report: Mutual interest between Phillies, J.T. Realmuto on contract extension
By Bill BaerSep 16, 2019, 6:20 PM EDT
Scott Lauber of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports that the Phillies and catcher J.T. Realmuto appear to have mutual interest on a contract extension. Such discussions may begin in earnest after the season, as Realmuto heads into his third and final year of arbitration eligibility.
Realmuto, 28, has unarguably been the Phillies' best player. FanGraphs credits him with 5.7 Wins Above Replacement, which is best on the Phillies and best among catchers. It's also 11th-best in baseball and fifth-best in the National League. At the plate, Realmuto has hit .277/.329/.498 with 25 home runs, 82 RBI, and 89 runs scored in 520 plate appearances. He's been even better defensively, throwing out 48 percent of runners attempting to steal, the best mark in baseball.
The Phillies made four notable acquisitions last offseason, signing Bryce Harper and David Robertson while trading for Jean Segura and Realmuto. They got Realmuto from the Marlins in exchange for catcher Jorge Alfaro, top pitching prospect Sixto Sanchez, and minor league pitcher Will Stewart.
Realmuto is earning $5.9 million this season. Lauber suggests his salary could come close to doubling in arbitration going into 2020. An extension would buy out that year plus likely three or four years of free agency.

Frederik Ludvig Liebenberg (16. august 1810 i København – 23. januar 1894 på Frederiksberg) var en dansk forfatterudgiver og bibliotekar, søn af M.F. Liebenberg og bror til Carl Liebenberg.

Liebenberg var igennem det 19. århundrede den grundige udgiver af mange af de vigtigste ældre danske forfattere, bl.a. Schack von Staffeldt Samlede Digte 1843, Emil Aarestrups Efterladte digte 1863 (i samarbejde med Christian Winther) og Johannes Ewald Samtlige Skrifter 1850 – 1855. Mest kendt blev dog hans udgaver af Adam Gottlob Oehlenschlägers Poetiske Skrifter 1857 – 1865 og nye udgaver af flere af Ludvig Holbergs værker. I de sidste år af sit liv nedskrev Liebenberg sine erindringer der, trods mangel på ydre hændelser, er fuld af spændende oplevelser i litteraturen.

As you may already know, iOS 10 brings many changes to the iOS SDK, a lot of these being related to notifications.
Since Batch 1.6 introduces support for native iOS 10 APIs, it now requires Xcode 8. While using the new SDK with Xcode 7 is possible, it is not officially supported. It also means that like Xcode, Batch 1.6 drops support for iOS 6 and iOS 7.
Note: Feel free to ask our support team if you can't migrate to Xcode 8 or drop iOS 7 but are interested in new features.
While Xcode 8 retains Swift 2.2 compatibility with Swift 2.3, Batch aims to be as Swift 3 native as it can. To achieve that goal, some APIs have been renamed to better fit Swift 3's style, and might require some minor fixes to legacy Swift code. Batch retains compatibility with all Swift versions.
Our documentation code snippets also have been updated to Swift 3.
For many projects, Xcode gets confused and disabled the Push Notification capability. If that worked, running the app might output an error about the missing aps-environment entitlement.
To make sure you won't have any surprise, you should open your project file in Xcode, hop on to the capabilities tab and make sure that Push Notifications is ON. If you see a Fix button in this category, press it to generate the missing .entitlements file.
iOS 10 deprecates all of the previous notifications methods, unifying local and remote notifcations under a single set of methods: say hi to the UserNotifications framework.
Legacy callbacks, the didReceiveRemoteNotifications family, are now deprecated: they are remplaced by UNUserNotificationCenterDelegate.
iOS will call legacy callbacks, but doesn't do so in a way that's consistent with iOS 8 and 9.
We STRONGLY advise updating to the new UserNotifications API to avoid headaches. We've also made a (kinda rough) chart about how the callbacks are called depending on your iOS version here. Note that this chart does not cover cold starts, where things got even more complicated.
Sounds like a lot of work? Good news: we did the work for you and implemented an that will fetch attachments and then attach them to the notification. We've explained how to integrate that here.
You'll also be glad to know that we added "mutable-content":1 to our default payload.
Notification Content Extensions are custom UIViewControllers that are shown in an expanded push. Even if they don't allow direct user interaction, they open a wide range of possibilities for richer push notifications.


We as Pooleng believe that collaboration and teamwork are indispensable for the successful outcome of any project.

Dodge News Viper
Dodge Viper Ordering Actually Reopening Again
Earlier this year, fans of the Dodge Viper were disappointed when they learned that orders for the American monster had been closed. This was done so that Dodge could reassess just how many cars they would be able to create for the car's final year in production. Well, it seems that this closure of orders ramped up the interest in the car, prompting the automaker to reopen them.
"We actually had to shut down the ordering because we outran our headlights," Tim Kuniskis, head of Fiat Chrysler-North America passenger-car brands, told Detroit News at the Los Angeles Auto Show this year. "We didn't know if we were going to have enough parts to build all the cars that people ordered."
(Related – Chris Harris Drives and Reviews the Dodge Viper ACR)
Additionally, the automaker also ran into a short of its carbon fiber aero wings for the ACR models. "The demand for ACR is off the charts — way more than we ever expected," Kuniskis told Detroit News. "We are close to opening it back up now that we know how many more we can build."
Those looking to order the Viper should know that they will be able to do so before the year's end. However, they are looking to sell out very quickly. As a reminder, this will be your last chance to order the Viper…for the time being.

Functional electrical stimulation is powering a host of health benefits for people with SCI.
Almost everyone has that one striking summer beach day worth remembering, but for Chris Wynn, a beach day 20 years ago represents a different type of memory. Wynn was paralyzed in a January 1993 accident when he sustained a C4-5 spinal-cord injury (SCI).
"I was with my friends doing front flips into the water when one flip I didn't land on my feet, I landed on my head," says Wynn.
Wynn was 22 at the time.
Fortunately for Wynn, that day at the beach wouldn't represent the only big change in his life. About eight months after his SCI, Wynn was recruited for a project involving functional electrical stimulation (FES) at the Cleveland FES Center. Little did he know, but FES would play a huge role in the way he lived life with quadriplegia.
FES is the use of low-level electrical stimulation to restore or improve function due to neurological condition or injury.
It's designed to produce useful movements or functions from paralyzed muscles that mimic voluntary movements. The treatment also reportedly increases overall health and helps with complications that arise from paralysis.
FES benefits patients by restoring control over things such as coughing, breathing, or voiding the bladder. The stimulation also increases blood flow, decreasing the chance of cardiovascular disease or diabetes. Additionally, it can increase muscle bulk that creates padding in certain areas of the body, which can prevent pressure ulcers.
The treatment can be used via a surgically implanted device or through surface stimulation. Wynn had a hand-grasp system called Freehand surgically implanted in his left hand in 1996.
Following a stroke, veteran David Soriano uses FES technology daily.
"Sometimes surface stimulation can work great, but there are also times when a consumer requires a much more intimate system, and the FES implants offer a little bit more precision and control," says Hunter Peckham, PhD, who works with Wynn.
The Freehand drastically changed Wynn's outlook.
"It's a little bit closer to me being me prior to the injury," says Wynn.
Wynn owes much of his success to the Cleveland FES Center, which performs basic research and clinical trials.
The center is a consortium of three institutional partners: Cleveland Veterans Affairs (VA) Medical Center, Case Western Reserve University and MetroHealth Medical Center.
It works with companies to market FES products, but unfortunately, few businesses currently make them. That's because the business model for FES products is difficult to sustain. The company that commercialized the device Wynn uses shut down in 2001 due to financial problems.
To try and change this limitation, the Cleveland FES Center created an extension to itself called the Institute for Functional Restoration, which is working hard to nurture the market for FES devices.
The center is working on the approval of a device commonly referred to as "Omnistim," which will perform the functions of several different FES devices all in one.
Several companies provide FES surface stimulation as an orthotic or for therapy.
Bioness (bioness.com) produces FES surface stimulation products that aid with normal, functional movement. They have systems such as the L300 that helps some users walk and the H200 that assists others with hand function.
Bioness Vice President of Marketing Keith McBride says there hasn't been a lot of technology for rehabilitation in the last 20 years. He says these products have made a big difference by providing a much higher level of benefit than traditional technologies.
David Soriano, a Vietnam veteran, had a stroke in 2003 leaving the right side of his body virtually nonfunctional. Soriano learned about FES technology through a TV commercial for Bioness.
Soriano intially tried out the company's L300. On his first day of trying it, he was able to walk up and down stairs, walk on grass, carpet and concrete, and walk up and down an incline.
"My mind was racing, and all I could think was what are the possibilities with this," Soriano says about that first day.
Soriano now uses Bioness products daily. He's able to go up and down ladders, cut the grass, brush his teeth, feed himself, do push ups and much more.
Another company is Restorative Therapies (restorative-therapies.com), which provides FES surface stimulation products.
CEO Andrew Barriskill says the products can be used to prepare for other types of FES treatments or just to increase overall health.
Restorative Therapies produces several different cycling exercise systems that work the legs and arms.
A misconception is that exercise for people who can't voluntarily move their muscles has no benefit, but research confirms that "activity-based" rehab for paralyzed patients does offer many benefits.
Even though the rehab process is slow to change, it is, in fact, changing.
Even though these products cost thousands of dollars, there are many financing options.
VA paid for all of Soriano's FES devices and helped Wynn pay for his hospital stay during the implant surgery. Medicare covers FES to a certain extent. Private insurance is also relatively cooperative as well. A third of Bioness patients receive payment from private insurance companies.
For more information, talk with your physician or rehabilitation therapist or visit the Cleveland FES Center at fescenter.org.
PVA and PN do not endorse products or services. Those mentioned in this article are for information only.
Chris Wynn, a veteran from Ohio, has been using functional electrical stimulation (FES) technology since 1996 after being paralyzed in a beach accident at age 22.
With the help of FES, in 2011 he opened his own rehab and fitness center — Buckeye Wellness Center — for people with spinal-cord injuries (SCI). It features FES exercise equipment. Wynn says FES has helped with his self-confidence in life after his injury. He opened the wellness center so he could show others this confidence.
Before undergoing FES treatment, Wynn relied on help with everyday tasks such as using straws, holding a fork, or grabbing objects. Now, he can do these things and more in a way he hasn't been able to do them in a long time: by himself.

Antioxidant vitamins such as vitamins C and E are being studied for potential protective effects against Alzheimer's disease. Antioxidants are substances that neutralize free radicals (damaging molecules created as the body uses oxygen). Free radicals can damage DNA within cells and are associated with several aging-related diseases, including heart disease. Some evidence indicates that free radical damage (also called oxidative stress) contributes to the brain changes seen in Alzheimer's disease.
Several large, long-term observational studies suggest that antioxidant vitamins may be beneficial in preventing dementia. For example, a study from the Archives of Neurology found that, among more than 3,000 individuals age 65 and older, those who took supplements of vitamins C and E were 64% less likely to develop Alzheimer's disease over three to five years than those who did not take the two supplements.
But not all studies support a protective effect of antioxidant supplements. One study indicated that obtaining vitamins C and E through the diet (but not in supplements) helped prevent Alzheimer's disease. Another found that overall antioxidant intake in older people (regardless of the source) did not affect the risk of Alzheimer's four years later.
While the jury is still out, we do not recommend that individuals take vitamin E supplements to forestall or prevent dementia because the weight of evidence now points away from it being beneficial. Be sure to consult with your doctor before taking vitamin E supplements, because high levels of the vitamin can cause bleeding in some people.

TITLE: Kwakwaka'wakw Rabbit
GENERAL REGION: North America
SUBREGION: British Columbia
ETHNICITY: Kwakwaka'wakw
DESCRIPTION: Rabbit Mask
CEREMONY: Potlatch
MAIN MATERIAL: red cedar wood
OTHER MATERIALS: paint; beads; plant fiber
A potlatch is a culturally important ceremony among the coastal indigenous Americans of British Columbia, held on many different occasions. It could be held to celebrate a family member's change in social status, such as a marriage, birth, death, or initiation into adulthood. It could also be held to restore a person's prestige after a loss in dignity, such as falling out of a canoe or making a hunting error. The ceremony could last for one day or as long as three weeks, depending on the occasion and the wealth of the giver.
A potlatch typically included three important components: a feast, entertainment, and gift giving to the guests. The entertainment consisted of singing and masked dancing. The more lavish the gifts, feast, and entertainment, the greater the prestige gained by the giver. Because masks and costumes were expensive and time-consuming to make, larger and more elaborate masks raised the prestige of the potlatch giver. The masks themselves represented totemic animals such as the killer whale, raven, beaver, or shark, or else mythical figures and beasts, such as the Komokwa, Dzunukwa or Bukwus. This mask represents the rabbit, a totemic animal important to the Kwakwaka'wakw people as a source of fur. As a cultural character, the rabbit was typically represented as a form of clown.
