WASHINGTON NOMINEES
Julia and Soren Dalen, W.F. West basketball: Presented as a sibling pair since both went off on the same night. Julia, a sophomore, scored a career-high 30 points on 12-of-16 shooting in a non-league victory over Mark Morris. Soren, a junior, registered his sixth double-double of the season - 23 points, 10 rebounds - in a win over Washougal.
Karsyn Freeman, Raymond girls basketball: The forward did all she could against Class 2B top-10 program Rainier, tallying a career-high 45 points (plus five steals), including 12 in the fourth quarter, in a narrow loss. This comes after she had 37 points and 13 rebounds over another top-10 squad - Chief Leschi.
Esmeralda Galindo, Davis girls basketball: Is there an interior standout in the state playing better than this Pirates' senior? She had a game-high 29 points, including four 3-pointers, and 10 rebounds as Davis defeated 1A contender Wapato in a Yakima valley blockbuster.
Tyce Paulsen, Curtis boys basketball: Teammate Zoom Diallo scored a game-high 24 points, but Paulsen was the tone-setter on both ends in the reigning Class 4A champions' victory over Metro League power O'Dea. He scored 23 points, including a pair of 3-pointers.
Tennessee Rainwater, Davenport boys basketball: Quickly establishing himself as the premier 'B' ranks standout, the senior erupted for 32 points, eight rebounds and six assists against Napavine, then had 23 points, eight rebounds and three assists against Columbia of Burbank - victories over 2B top-10 programs.
Keanna Salavea, Heritage girls basketball: She already has a 40-point game in December - and the talented Timberwolves' post player came up big at the GESA Winter Shootout in Wenatchee. She scored 24 points against Federal Way, then had a game-high 19 points against Selah in the tournament title-game victory.
Jazmyn Shipp, Bonney Lake girls basketball: The junior post player registered her seventh double-double in eight games - and this one gave the Panthers a big victory over 4A ranked Emerald Ridge. She had a season-high 22 points (9-of-15 shooting) and 13 rebounds in the win.
Dylan Skaife, Ferris boys basketball: What a week for the junior guard. He sank a last-second, game-winning 3-pointer in a non-league victory at Walla Walla, then poured in 27 points, including three 3-pointers, in a victory over Post Falls (ID).
Jaylin Stewart, Garfield boys basketball: The UConn signee was the class of the Hardwood Invite, scoring a game-high 32 points in the championship game victory over Jefferson (OR). He was named the tournament MVP, averaging 25.5 points on 69 percent shooting, 8.8 boards and 1.5 blocks across four games.
Malakai Weimer, Skyview boys basketball: This ninth grader is already making waves as a frontcourt double-double machine for the unbeaten Storm. He had 19 points and 20 rebounds in a non-league victory over Rogers of Puyallup.
Trinity Wheeler, Wapato girls basketball: All she does is put up big scoring games - and she did it against in a non-league loss to 4A contender Davis. She poured in a season-high 27 points, including four 3-pointers, and had eight rebounds in a loss. It capped her third consecutive game of 20 or more points.

Appreciate all the beauty that the world has to offer.
No one can deny the natural beauty that mountains, sunsets, beaches, and countless wonders of the world have to offer. However, there are also other beautiful things in life that people tend to overlook.
There is beauty to be found in a child who is laughing like there is no tomorrow and in celebrating milestones. There is also beauty in holidays spent with loved ones, and anywhere else that you may go, as long as you choose to see it.
Sound familiar? Of course it does.
Dr. Seuss knew exactly what he was talking about when he reminded that the world that you should never be ashamed for being who you truly are.
Love is the one thing that is able to transcend differences in race, country, nationality, age, gender, and religion. The world becomes a better place when people see the importance of showing love, not feeling entitled to receive it. You must remember that you are not born for love; you are born to Iove.
Do random acts of kindness whenever and wherever you can.
Making someone smile doesn't require you to move mountains. It can be through paying for a stranger's meal or buying your loved ones flowers.
It can also be simply holding the door open for the person walking behind you.
Even the smallest acts of kindness go a long way, because what seems like a small thing to you can mean the world to someone else.
This one definitely tops the list of no-brainer ways to find happiness, and here on Ocio Lifestyle, you'll never hear this enough. Happiness can be found in more than just big gestures and luxury items; you'll realize that you can also find it in the simplest things.
The pain is inevitable when someone you hold close does something wrong towards you, but you lose nothing by choosing to be the bigger person and trying to get past what happened.
The feeling won't disappear all at once, but forgiveness is the first step to truly being able to replacing the bitterness and anger in your heart with love.
Grab every opportunity that comes your way.
Like they say, you only regret the chances that you didn't take. Years from now, odds are that you won't be dwelling on the decisions you ended up making, but on the risks you were too afraid to take.
Sure, maybe not all of the risks you take will pay off in the end, but you have more to lose when you decide not to try at all.
In the darkest of times, hope is the light that gets you through. For all the struggles that are yet to come your way, there will always be hope for second chances, for redemption, for lessons, for fresh starts, and for better days ahead.
Life waits for no one, so you have to figure out what's worth spending time on before it's too late.
A higher-paying job or an intriguing business venture may be taking up a big part of your schedule right now, but at what cost? More opportunities to further your career will always come knocking. With milestones like weddings, birthdays, and graduations, you might not always be as lucky.
Gaining success is never worth the expense of missing out on life.
Jump out of your comfort zone.
The typical saying is to step out of your comfort zone, but life's too short that you have to leap out of it.
There may be reassurance to be found in sticking to what's familiar, but there's more to be gained by trying something new. It only takes one deep breath and a burst of confidence to surpass your limits and start truly living.
Keep an open heart and mind.
Things won't always be the way you want them to be, but that's just the way that life goes. You must learn to accept everything that comes your way and trust that good or bad, everything happens for a reason.
You may not know what that reason is at the time, but when you look back, you'll see how all the dots magically connect.
Admittedly, this is one of the toughest ones. It's hard to accept when something isn't meant to be. This can be in terms of your career, academics, or personal life.
Maybe what you hold on to isn't the person or the situation itself.
Or maybe it's the chance that things could still work out.
Regardless, it is not until that you find it in yourself to let go that you can open yourself up to new opportunities and move on.
Make time for the people who matter to you.
There's no doubt that low-maintenance friendships are great, but nothing beats face-to-face conversations with the ones you love the most.
Life's too short for plans that never push through and interacting from nowhere else than behind a screen.
Why type "LOL" and hit send when you know you'd love nothing more than to hear your best friend's distinct laugh in person?
Don't just want it, need it.
Some people love the comfort of having a routine, and there's nothing wrong with that. However, everyone needs excitement in their life, whether or not they choose to believe it.
There's nothing that compares to the fast-paced heartbeat and rush of emotions you feel when you decide to do something that both scares you and excites you at the same time.
It may not always be easy, but there is something to be said when you are able to let your guard down.
Take a deep breath, and tear down your walls.
Give yourself a chance to love and be loved without anything holding you back.
Myth: You can't be successful and pursue your passions at the same time.
The truth is you can actually do both–it may take extra effort on your part, but it is possible, and is definitely worth the blood, sweat, and tears.
If it's something you love doing, by all means, go for it.
Here's to getting rid of the things that you would be way better off without; they're doing you more harm than good, and you know it.
Whether it's comparing yourself to others, smoking, bad hygiene, speaking before thinking, or anything in between, realizing that there is a problem to begin with is the first step to solving it.
If it really does take 21 days to make or break a habit, it can only benefit you to try to quit yours today.
This requires you to look back on the things that have happened. Although, it doesn't mean you have to hold on the past.
It simply means that you should be able to acknowledge all the good that has passed and let it drive you for an even brighter future.
Plus, reminiscing about fond memories is always a great way to put a smile on your face.
Why? Because a smile is a curve that sets everything straight; enough said.
Granted, your heart isn't always the wisest.
However, when it comes to chasing your dreams and doing what you love, it always knows best.
The road to happiness is rarely the most logical one; it is often the one with the most detours and speed bumps along the way, and your heart is the best navigator to help you get there.
Understand what you can, and accept what you cannot.
Nowadays, whenever you have a question, there's something you can always turn to: Google. In life, however, the answers don't always come so easy. Sometimes you'll instantly realize why something had to happen, but other times, you'll just have to accept that some things happen simply because they do.
There are 86,400 seconds in a day; why waste even one trying to wrap your head around something you can't control?
There are people who publicize their large donations for all the world to know.
Then there are those who work wholeheartedly behind-the-scenes to give back whether or not others find out.
There is more fulfillment in being the latter.
When it comes to helping those in need, there is no recognition required, because knowing that you've made an impact is a reward in itself.
Why stay stuck in a place you know like the back of your hand when there's 196,900,000 square miles of the world you can see?
You're free to take a road trip or a plane ride halfway around the world–just be sure to enjoy every step of the journey.
You never know; you could find joy in learning a new language, discovering more about other cultures, trying different cuisines, or marvelling at the countless wonders of the world, both natural and man-made.
Accept where you are, what you've become, and what you've done to get here. Find peace in knowing that despite all the other paths you could've chosen, you ended up exactly where you were meant to be.
There is no best; there is only better.
No one's asking you to pressure yourself, just asking you to find it in yourself to know when there's still something you can improve on.
Zero in on making others happy as well.
Out of all the no-brainer ways to find happiness, this one is hands down the most important.
Think about how many simple gestures made you smile.
Now, think about the power you have to share that same feeling with those around you.
While being on the receiving end of it is great, the greatest happiness in the world is making others happy.
Okay, maybe now you're consciously trying to follow these no-brainer ways to find happiness, but trust that it won't always be this way. With the right mindset and a positive outlook on life, happiness is sure to find you.

Q: Using Python's `unittest` module to compose tests of functions in a separate file I have an issue with getting my unit tests to resolve calls to the S.U.T.'s functions. The S.U.T. is defined in a separate file, but in the same project. I've considerable Python experience, but I've never tried to deploy code in a conventional way (which generally suggests conventional testing). The directory structure I'm using seems to be in line with PyPI convention, but I'm missing the step on executing unit tests.
Note 1: I have tried reviewing the official unittest module's API documentation & tutorials, as well as some unofficial docs. There's not a lot bridging the gap between new, undeployed project and downloading projects already deployed.
Note 2: I'm not interested in using any third-party unit testing framework. I'd like to stick to unittest module and its conventions. I'm hoping to keep the original project as cross-platform and third-party dependency-light as possible.
Note 3: Adding import mfut or from mfut import conditionallyClose statements to all_tests.py results in ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'mfut'. I'm sure this has something to do with the PYTHONPATH, but changing that environment variable strikes me as fragile. I'm hoping there's a more robust way.
Below is merely an example toy problem, but the test cases for the original project aren't much more sophisticated.

Given the following Python 3 project directory structure:
My Fun Unit Testing
    ├───src
    │   └───mfut
    │       └───mfut.py
    │
    └───tests
        └───all_tests.py

and the following contents of file mfut.py:
import math
def conditionallyClose(x1, x2):
    if math.abs(x1) < 1:
        return math.isclose(x1, x2)
    if math.abs(x1) < 1e6:
        return math.isclose(x1, x2, rel_tol=0.10)
    return math.isclose(x1, x2, rel_tol=0.001)

and the following contents of all_tests.py:
from unittest import TestCase
from math import inf
class onlyTestCase(TestCase):
    def testConditionallyClose_mag1(self):
        self.assertTrue(conditionallyClose(0.05, 0.06))

    def testConditionallyClose_mag6(self):
        self.assertTrue(conditionallyClose(1200000, 1085000))

    def testConditionallyClose_magInf(self):
        self.assertTrue(conditionallyClose(inf, inf))

what is the Python 3 convention (or requirement) for getting the conditionallyClose(...) calls in all_tests.py to resolve?

A: The reason for your error is that python cannot recognize any library with the name mfut. If you import it like this from mfut import conditionallyClose, it must be either a library, or a file in the same directory as your current python file.
To solve this problem, take these steps:

*

*First of all make sure that your project file structure is like this:

*Create a setup.py file for you project (you can also use PyCharm to do it) and put it in the root directory of you project (which in this case is "B:\Repos\SampleProject").

*Activate your virtual environment and run pip install -e . in the root of you project directory. This will use the setup.py and make python run your code as a python library and refer to the code dynamically from your files.

*Now you can import your code like this from any file:
from src.mfut.mfut import conditionallyClose

Faux 8-bit
Sun Aug 24 2014 22:18:23 GMT+0100 (British Summer Time)
I found this homage to Hayao Miyazaki in 8-bit:
Hayao Miyazaki Tribute in 8-bit from whoispablo on Vimeo.
Liking both things, I went to have a look, only to be a tad disappointed. That, friends, is as 8-bit as I am newschool. Since I like things to be correct and proper, let's explain a few things about 8-bit aesthetics and why 99% of the "retro/8-bit looking" material we hear about would be just plain impossible in 8-bit lands.
The number of colours is limited in true 8-bit graphics.
A drawing does not instantly become "8-bit" by the sole virtue of being based on blocky graphics.
Due to technical restrictions, 8-bit graphic artists had also a very limited amount of colours that they could use simultaneously on the screen, so they came up with elaborate manual dithering techniques to make it look as if they had more colours. But at the end of the day, the maximum number of different simultaneous colours was pretty small.
These restrictions vary between systems, and each system induced its own little type of tricks that artists used on those platforms. For example, the attribute clashing in Spectrum systems brought artists to think their designs in a way that would either avoid those secondary effects, or go "full monochrome" so you wouldn't notice the clashes.
Another example: in Commodore 64 systems, the mode which allowed more simultaneous colours also had half the horizontal resolution, so graphics running in that mode had "fat" pixels. In addition, the palette is fixed to 16 specific colours which cannot be changed by the developer, so with these two hints it's somewhat easy to "guess" when a screenshot is from a C64. For example, see these examples of recent C64 artwork, featuring double width mode, the limited colour palette, and hand-drawn dithered gradients:
https://twitter.com/C64_endings/status/503614401392705537
There's only one word for contemporary "blocky" graphics with smooth gradients and an abundance of colours: FAKE.
The maximum number of moving elements on the screen is not infinite
Most of the "8-bit" copycats often sport lots of either a) moving elements on the screen or b) too big moving elements. This was also impossible to have because the maximum number of sprites moving at the same time was limited due to hardware restrictions, and they would also be limited in size. For example, even using "tricks" the maximum number of sprites in a C64 would be 20 and of 24x21 pixels. Certainly not full screen transitions, unless they were using a palette shift, and then the sort of transitions would be way more limited.
Also, more moving element on the screen almost always meant reduced framerates. My most vivid memory of this and a perfect example is playing shoot-em-up games on NES systems: when enemies start spawning more particles to attack you, the game comes to a crawl unless you start destroying the particles really soon. And you'd better do, for the sake of keeping the game usable and responsible! In contrast, the copycats always have smooth and consistent framerates, which just doesn't work.
Pixels are always orthogonal to the screen
When sprites rotate in true 8-bit systems, the blocky pixels keep to a 90 degree angle with the screen--they don't rotate along! In the video above, the arms for the walking character at 00:13 rotate but the pixels rotate around the shoulder axis too--WRONG! In a true 8-bit game, the pixels would be changing accordingly to represent the rotation, and they definitely would always keep to the 90 degrees angle.
No blur!
Everything is blocky in 8-bit systems. There are no smooth background layers as in the video above.
Spot those fakers!
Now you should be equipped to detect what faux 8-bit looks like! I certainly don't want to prevent anyone from working in whatever style they want to work on, but please don't call it "8-bit", because it's not (specially not if you are rendering it with Cinema 4D or After Effects. Jeez, you should be ashamed). Call it retro inspired, or something of that sort, and I won't be calling you out :-P

Okay, screw it. I'm addicted.

Restaurant Analytics Software
Veterans-Turned-Restaurateurs Share Stories of Service
Alexandra Cavallo | November 10, 2017 | Print
In this industry, we tend to think of service in terms of breakfast, lunch and dinner. In honor of Veterans Day, however, we thought we'd take a moment to speak with some members of the restaurant community who have experienced real service—in the military that is. We tapped some chefs who have gone on to have successful careers as restaurant owners and chefs after their tours of duty were finished, and got their takes on why it's important to support veteran-owned establishments.
Amber Frymark, Chowventions
When Wisconsin native Amber Frymark was honorably discharged from the Air Force as a Wounded Warrior after 10 years of service, she "had to figure what my next move was in life," she says. So she decided to go to culinary school and, after graduating, opened Chowventions, a "food inventions company" at which she produces small-batch artisan food products. "A long lost passion for food was reignited," Frymark says. "I love to create my own works of art, so working for someone else was not an option."
That said, in her previous life she was, in a sense, working for a lot of other people—putting her life on the line for her fellow citizens each day. So she appreciates it when her fellow citizens make an effort to return the favor. "Veterans are just like anyone else, trying to make ends meet," she says. "The difference is, they made huge sacrifices for our country prior to being transplanted back into civilian life, which is very difficult in and of itself." She gives back herself, donating a portion of the proceeds from every new product she launches to the veteran community. "Aside from that, we strive to be involved with veteran activities and events when they present themselves."
Peter Raimondi, Aleo
It was a longer—and far more winding—road that led New Yorker Peter Raimondi to open his Mediterranean-inspired Flatiron restaurant, Aleo. Raimondi enlisted in 1974, when he was a student at Fordham University. He went through the Marine Corps and graduated from Fordam as a Second Lieutenant in 1977. His long career in the military was marked by action, including serving aboard a tank landing ship during the Iranian hostage crisis in the Middle East.
In his post-service life, he wore a lot of different hats before donning his chef toque. Raimondi worked as a network engineer for Loral Electronics, designing anti jamming warfare devices for the F-16 project, and for MCI Communications, building low noise reduction units for the space shuttle program. He then went on to worked for the New York Stock Exchange, as the floor manager of telecommunications, and at Citicorp as manager of Network Engineering, before serving as VP of technology hardware at Goldman Sachs & Co.
But he felt compelled to follow other dreams. "I wanted to get away from Wall Street, and have the personal time to follow a passion of mine—baseball," he says. "Owning the restaurant allowed me to get back into coaching baseball at a collegiate level." Raimondi now serves as the assistant coach at New York's Pace University when he's not helming the stove at Aleo.
He says he welcomes the support of his civilian patrons. "If a woman or a man puts on a uniform to protect you and your way of life, it would be nice to put on a smile and support that person," he says. To that end, he supports active servicemen and women and fellow veterans on Veterans Day with a special that offers 50 percent off their bill for military personnel in uniform, and 30 percent off for military personnel with ID.
Nancy Viswanathan, OM Indian Fusion Cuisine
Nancy Viswanathan, owner of OM Indian Fusion Cuisine in Madison, Wisconsin, draws parallels between her time in the military and the service she now provides in her restaurant. "The service industry has always been a focal point of my life," she explains. "This is one of the largest growing industries in the world and I've always found it to be fast-paced and exciting. There's a lot of different ways to serve people, whether it be travel, restaurants, lodging or various forms of entertainment. Taking care of people and seeing them enjoy themselves is something I've always been drawn to. It's a rewarding experience."
Before she was a restaurateur, Viswanathan served as a non-commissioned officer in the Army National Guard in Minneapolis. Her service saw her managing logistics, finance and human resources on deployment to Iraq in 2009. "The idea of owning and operating a restaurant actually stemmed from my husband, Sumanth," she says. "He was born in Ooty, India, and always wanted to run his own business. He laid out the business plan to see if I was on board. We partnered with his good friend who was a well-known a respected chef and the three of us put this plan into action."
They opened OM in June 2016, just about a year after she officially completed her military service. It pleases her to be able to continue to give back to the community in some way. Likewise, "Supporting veteran-owned businesses is an opportunity to give back to those who have served this country. Veterans and military personnel feel at home when we are able to connect with others who have served," she says. "There's a sense of pride when someone has been in the military and is also able to successfully run a business. It strengthens the community as a whole."
Viswanathan says that OM always offers a 10-percent discount to both active service members and veterans, but on Veterans Day they grant 25 percent off, plus a complimentary bottle of house wine with the purchase of two entrees. "We welcome all veterans to join us on this special day," she says.
Carrie Roeger, Semper Fi Bar & Grille
Carrie Roeger and her husband, Ralph, are both former Marines; she a Russian linguist, he a combat engineer. After completing their service, Ralph worked in sales and Carrie began working as the operations manager of a residential construction company, where she still works today. However, she says that opening a restaurant has always been a "distant bucket list idea."
They were inspired to officially check that item off the list when they visited a Marine-only bar and restaurant in Las Vegas—soon after they opened Semper Fi Bar & Grille in Woodstock, Georgia. "After our visit to Las Vegas, we just jumped in and haven't looked back," she says. "We have created a place where veterans, first responders and their family members can be celebrated and honored. Veterans from all branches are welcome. The veterans who come to our establishment have found a place to feel comfortable and safe to tell their story. We see a lot of healing happening, within the camaraderie."
Supporting veteran-owned business provides that tangible way to take care of our veterans.
And while she says that about 98 percent of their customers are veterans, they welcome civilian patronage and support. "As a veteran, and knowing many veterans and their stories, we were willing to sign a blank check, with the ultimate price of our life, to protect the freedoms our country offers to all citizens," Roeger says. "For most in our country, there isn't a tangible way to say 'thank you.' Supporting veteran-owned business provides that tangible way to take care of our veterans." The Roegers take care of their fellow vets by keeping their price points low year-round. This Veterans Day, they're offering a pork plate special not typically on their menu. And, she says, "November 10 is the Marine Corps Birthday and we are the place where Atlanta celebrates Marines. Party starts at 1700!"
Antwan Smalls, My Three Sons
Antwan Smalls, a co-owner (and one of the sons) of Charleston's family-owned soul food spot My Three Sons, still works as a government contractor for the Navy, drilling once a month, when he's not running operations at the restaurant.
Veterans are service driven so customers will always be a top priority.
The brainchild of local soul food legend Alice Warren, in partnership with Smalls' mother Lorraine, My Three Sons gives Antwan a secondary way to serve the community. "It's important to support [businesses like his] because as veteran and current soldier, I understand the sacrifices that were made," Smalls says. "Veterans are service driven so customers will always be a top priority. It's always good to support your fellow brothers and sisters in arms."

What's next: Fried chicken and doughnuts
Some things obviously go together, like peanut butter and jelly. Some combos are not so obvious. We try to get to the bottom of the emerging chicken and doughnut craze • See more Food Trends
Michael Sanson | Sep 13, 2013
Tracking trends is sometimes a maddening game. Consider a newer trend to pair fried chicken and doughnuts. How in the world do you come around to an idea like that? Well, go back a ways and look at the now cooling trend to combine chicken and waffles. That certainly gives a hint to this newest trend. It's a Southern idea that has taken large chunks of the country by storm, although many northerners didn't seem to quite get it. Nevertheless, it showed how two seemingly incongruent items can pair well and satisfy sweet and savory cravings at once. In the same vein, the now waning upscale cupcake craze initially emerged as a sweet treat, but then eventually morphed into a sweet and savory snack that even northerners could wholeheartedly embrace (maple-bacon cupcakes, anyone?). Now another transformation of this trend is trying to break through: doughnuts and chicken. In some cases, restaurants are opening with these two items coexisting separately on their menus, while others have combined the two to mirror the chicken and waffles trend. In all cases, this chicken/doughnut trend offers a two-pronged attack that targets those who crave nostalgia and comfort in their food. Here are a few of the players making a go of this trend.
Federal Donuts, Philadelphia
Photo: Michael Persico
Chef Michael Solomonov, a Restaurant Hospitality Rising Star who has created several acclaimed restaurants in Philly, has opened three units of Federal Donuts that sell out doughnuts and chicken so quickly, many customers are left standing in line like hapless lottery losers.For the most part, his doughnuts lean toward traditionally sweet, including one called piña colada and another called passion fruit. Doughnuts sell for about $2.
Federal's Fried Chicken, on the other hand, is so popular that it's sold by a number system. Somewhere around 80 red cards are distributed to those who queue up before noon. Those who score one of the cards are entitled to a half fried chicken that sells for about $9. For that price you'll also get Japanese cucumber pickles and a honey doughnut on the side. Solomonov doesn't even remember how or why he came up with a concept that pairs these two menu items, but that hasn't stopped him from laughing his way to the bank.
More concepts tap into trend
(Continued from page 1)
Hybird, New York City
In that same vein, Questlove, the founder of the musical group The Roots, has teamed up with the ever-so-hip restaurateur Stephen Starr, to open a quick-service fried chicken outlet that resembles a food truck and is located at the Chelsea Market in New York City. There they offer Love's Drumsticks, which is clearly the star of the show. However, there are two other attention-getting menu items—Tom Yum Cupcakes and a watermelon-jalapeno slushy. Hybird clearly follows the formula of keep it simple, stupid!
Gourdough's Big, Fat Donuts, Austin
Housed in a vintage Airstream trailer, Gourdough's swings for the fence with its sweet concoctions, such as the Funky Monkey, which features grilled bananas and cream cheese icing with brown sugar. But it also dares to combine what others choose to keep separate—fried chicken and doughnuts. Its Mother Clucker ($5.50) features a doughnut topped with fried chicken strips that are heavily drizzled with honey butter. It doesn't stop there; Gourdough's also offers the Boss Hog, a doughnut topped with pulled pork, potato salad and honey barbecue sauce. The Boss Hog is clearly a sign of the apocalypse (we're just saying).
Astro Doughnuts & Fried Chicken / GBD Fried Chicken & Doughnuts, Washington, DC
Two chicken and doughnut concepts are slugging it out in Washington, DC. Jason Gehring, the former pastry chef at DC's acclaimed Fiola, is behind Astro, and he's playing it straight by keeping his doughnuts and fried chicken apart. GBD (golden, brown and delicious) is the brainchild of Neighborhood Restaurant Group, whose Birch & Barley restaurant serves a dish known as The Luther (a maple-glazed brioche doughnut that sandwiches buttermilk-fried chicken and applewood-smoked bacon). Surprisingly, it has chosen not to serve its doughnuts and fried chicken together in some diabolical way at GBD. We tip our hat to restraint, in this case.

The Cornish Sea Piskies of Kynance must use team work and compassion to calm an angry Dragon. This isn't going to be Easy!
There's a storm brewing down in Kynance Cove.
In an underwater cave at Kynance Cove lives a mighty dragon. Unbeknown to the many visitors who play on the sand and in the sea throughout the year there. Usually Dragon is happy and content but when the rubbish from all the humans is so carelessly left behind and starts to take over her home she loses her temper spectacularly. It's going to take a school of Sea Piskie apprentices to sort this out…and maybe a human or two to help!

Privilege is a one-of-a-kind premium tobacco Cigar blend that is exquisitely aged in decadent vanilla cream for an ultimate, smooth taste. The subtle hints of caramel notes and burnt sugar provide just the right amount of sweetness. Both the caramel and burnt sugar notes along with the earthy notes from a premium tobacco leaf blend creates a perfect balance of sweet and nuttiness in this ejuice.
Pleasantly surprised. There aren't very many tobacco flavors that I enjoy but this one finds just the perfect balance between sweet and tobacco.
I would definitely buy this juice again.
I have now found my goto creamy tobacco. VCT and Capone really doesn't do it for me anymore and I can't seem to find John Wayne anywhere.

The bankers will be scolded today. The theater of it all will be familiar and ridiculous. The lawmakers will climb up onto the stage, tap the full depths of their moral authority and deliver judgment as the cameras roll. It will remind us of similar performances with auto executives and baseball managers – and the current news cycle, which still has A-Rod by the scruff of the neck, will remind us that oversight without teeth is a very possible outcome.
I'm craving a technical solution, not a public hanging, as gross as some of the behavior may have been. There's certainly enough blame to go around the hearing room for creating a system that made this moment possible.
I just have one piece of advice, and it goes for everyone in the room today – channel the Pottery Barn, a company that's inspired public leaders in the past, despite its crass interest in wealth creation. You broke it. You own it. Fight the temptation to strut and fret and focus on putting it back together again.

Supreme Court Finally Asks the Tough Questions on Same-Sex Marriage
by Glenn T. Stanton 3 . 28 . 13
The first day of oral arguments before the Supreme Court on same-sex marriage were watched very carefully by many Americans. Up to this point, one would be hard-pressed to find any instance of any notable personage who is not known as a traditional marriage proponent asking any tough questions about the larger social and familial impact of the effort to redefine marriage. Most assume there are no good questions.
But we saw something very different yesterday. The justices"and not just the conservative ones"were the first notable culture leaders who asked sound, tough questions . A few examples:
Justice Kennedy and others illustrated the historical imbalance between natural marriage and this new proposal. Kennedy expressed that he thinks "there's substance to the point that sociological information [on same-sex parenting] is new. We have five years of information to weight against two thousand years of history or more."
Later, Kennedy remarked again:
The problem with the case is that you're really asking, particularly because of the sociological evidence you cite, for us to go into uncharted waters, and you can play with that metaphor, there's a wonderful destination, it is a cliff.
Justice Alito also brought the questioning back to Kennedy's "going blind in uncharted waters" remark as he said to Solicitor General Donald Verrilli:
But what is your response to the argument which has already been mentioned about the need to be cautious in light of the newness of the concept of same-sex marriage? . . .
[Marriage is] thought to be a fundamental building block of society and its preservation essential for the preservation of society. Traditional marriage has been around for thousands of years. Same-sex marriage is very new . . . . You want us to step in and render a decision based on an assessment of the effects of this institution which is newer than cell phones or the Internet? I mean . . . we do not have the ability to see the future."
These questions were never really answered.
Chief Justice Roberts later asked another question of the Solicitor General Verrilli. He wanted clarity on what Roberts referred to as a "somewhat internally inconsistent" argument in the case for same-sex parenting.
We see the argument made that there is no problem with extending marriage to same-sex couples because children raised by same-sex couples are doing just fine and there is no evidence that they are being harmed. And the other argument is Proposition 8 harms children by not allowing same-sex couples to [marry]. Which is it?
Verrilli could only go to the stock "poor them" response which only made Robert's question more relevant:
Their parents cannot marry and that has effects on them in the here and now. A stabilizing effect is not there. When they go to school, they have to, you know"they don't have parents like everybody else's parents.
So these kids show harm and no harm by living in such homes. How can that be?
When questioned about the procreative importance of marriage rooted in human history and experience, attorney Ted Olson dismissed the linkage. He said the issue was about alienating a group of citizens from the institution. Chief Justice Roberts interrupted him, remarking,
When the institution of marriage developed historically, people didn't get around and say let's have this institution, but let's keep out homosexuals. The institution developed to serve purposes that, by their nature, didn't include homosexual couples.
This, of course, is a very important counter to the ubiquitous claim that traditional marriage serves to exclude same-sex attracted people from society. When Olson stayed on the theme that Proposition 8 was inherently prejudiced, Roberts countered, asking if its motivation might have been something different: "Don't you think it's more reasonable to view it as a [reaction to the] change by the California Supreme Court of this institution that's been around since time immemorial?"
This led Justice Scalia to ask the following foundational question:
I'm curious . . . when did it become unconstitutional to exclude homosexual couples from marriage? 1791? 1868, when the Fourteenth Amendment was adopted? . . . Was it always unconstitutional?
Of course, the question is not of a legal nature, per se, but about how this topic has so abruptly become an issue of discussion, rising from an absolute silence over the centuries and millennia until the last few milliseconds of human experience, actualized for the first time anywhere in the world by the Dutch in 2001. As Alito colorfully remarked, same-sex marriage is "newer than cell phones and the Internet." Why has this "fundamental human right" not been a long-debated (much less recognized) issue like slavery and the standing of women in society have been for thousands of years to varying degrees? It is a very good and central question.
Olson answered, " It was constitutional when we as a culture determined that sexual orientation is a characteristic of individuals that they cannot control, and that that"" Scalia interrupted, asking, "I see. When did that happen? When did that happen?" Olson replied, "There's no specific date in time. This is an evolutionary cycle." Scalia then countered, "Well, how am I supposed to know how to decide a case, then . . . if you can't give me a date when the Constitution changes?"
Justice Sotomayor asked the pointed question of where such a redefinition of marriage would lead us. Where and how do we set limits on how far this goes?
Mr. Olson, the bottom line that you're being asked [this question]: If you say that marriage is a fundamental right, what state restrictions could ever exist? Meaning, what state restrictions with respect to the number of people . . . I can accept that the state has probably an overbearing interest on protecting a child until they're of age to marry, but what's left?
Olson, in his response, stated that multi-partner marriage raised obvious concerns about child well-being. How selective. Many"including the French"see the obvious well-being concerns with making motherhood and father merely optional and sentimental.
Olson frequently asserted this issue's similarity with Loving v. Virginia , the 1967 Supreme Court decision striking down anti-miscegenation laws. It is a very emotional, but inapplicable comparison. Kennedy called him on it, curtly responding "that's not accurate."
Near the end of the day, Sotomayor asked a question that gave an indication where the court could go with this case: find a good reason to punt.
If the issue is letting the states experiment and letting the society have more time to figure out its direction, why is taking a case now the answer? We let issues perk, and so we let racial segregation perk for fifty years from 1898 to 1954 . . . . And now we are only talking about, at most, four years.
It was a very interesting day. I am as far from a legal scholar as one can get, more of a rhetorician. But I do like the way the questioning went on the first day of oral arguments on Prop 8 and the Defense of Marriage Act.
Might the mainstream press and our cultural tutors learn that there are actually important questions that need to be asked about de-gendering marriage before we dive head-long into a very new and radical social and familial experiment with a whole generation of our children? Somehow, I doubt it.

Ist Bergbau ZCash profitabel
Coinbase is a all around awesome platform to quickly and swiftly get into the world of crypto assets. Trusted them from day one and so far so good ! The only negative situation I have encountered has been 1 . I bought $25 dollars of bitcoin and was charged twice but only got $25 worth of bitcoin .... contacted coinbase and that very same day got a email back from them saying they knew about the situation and that they where on top of it because it happened to more people that week... a day or two pass and I received another email saying my problem was resolved..... it wasn't and still hasn't been resolved! Thank God I only bought $25 and not a lot more ! It's $25 I'm not going to be after anyone for that little amount of money but it definitely impacted my good experience with coinbase and their over all standing with me , my friends and my family after this situation that has still not been resolved .
On 21 November 2017, the Tether cryptocurrency announced they were hacked, losing $31 million in USDT from their primary wallet.[71] The company has 'tagged' the stolen currency, hoping to 'lock' them in the hacker's wallet (making them unspendable). Tether indicates that it is building a new core for its primary wallet in response to the attack in order to prevent the stolen coins from being used.
Coinbase has lost my money twice now. Once was due to an old account that, thanks to a bug in their verification process, I cannot re-authenticate. I bought 1 bitcoin back when they were only about $50 each with Coinbase. That money is gone forever now. And I acknowledge that it's my fault that I did not set up a forwarding email with Coinbase, their support just refused to help. The second time was a month ago. I made a trade on Coinbase, and for some reason, the app glitched to think I have 5x more money than I actually… Read more »

The legal status of cryptocurrencies varies substantially from country to country and is still undefined or changing in many of them. While some countries have explicitly allowed their use and trade,[51] others have banned or restricted it. According to the Library of Congress, an "absolute ban" on trading or using cryptocurrencies applies in eight countries: Algeria, Bolivia, Egypt, Iraq, Morocco, Nepal, Pakistan, and the United Arab Emirates. An "implicit ban" applies in another 15 countries, which include Bahrain, Bangladesh, China, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Indonesia, Iran, Kuwait, Lesotho, Lithuania, Macau, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Taiwan.[52] In the United States and Canada, state and provincial securities regulators, coordinated through the North American Securities Administrators Association, are investigating "bitcoin scams" and ICOs in 40 jurisdictions.[53]

The other 2% of customer funds, held online, are covered in the event of a breach of Coinbase's online storage. Also, Coinbase holds all customer fiat currency in custodial bank accounts, on behalf of customers. So, if you have fiat currency in Coinbase, in a USD wallet, it is covered by FDIC insurance up to $250,000 (just like a "regular" bank). This protects customer assets (so long as they have been converted to fiat currency) even in the event of Coinbase becoming insolvent.

Transactions that occur through the use and exchange of these altcoins are independent from formal banking systems, and therefore can make tax evasion simpler for individuals. Since charting taxable income is based upon what a recipient reports to the revenue service, it becomes extremely difficult to account for transactions made using existing cryptocurrencies, a mode of exchange that is complex and difficult to track.[66]

In February 2014 the world's largest bitcoin exchange, Mt. Gox, declared bankruptcy. The company stated that it had lost nearly $473 million of their customers' bitcoins likely due to theft. This was equivalent to approximately 750,000 bitcoins, or about 7% of all the bitcoins in existence. The price of a bitcoin fell from a high of about $1,160 in December to under $400 in February.[67]
Kryptowährungen sind digitale Währungen mit einem meist dezentralen Aufbau. Sie beruhen auf Netzwerken, in denen alle Informationen untereinander getauscht werden. Transaktionen werden gespeichert und öffentlich verarbeitet. Die Digitalwährungen ermöglichen eine bargeldlose Bezahlung. Sie werden im Gegensatz zu den herkömmlichen Märkten wie Aktien, Devisen oder Anleihen durchgängig gehandelt. Zu den bekanntesten kryptischen Währungen zählen Bitcoin, Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash und Ripple.
Although there are some similarities between BTC and LTC, you can't define Litecoin without pointing out some key differences, such as instant and near-zero cost transactions, increased speed of adding a new block into the Blockchain (2.5 minutes against 10 in the Bitcoin network) and a scrypt usage in its Proof-of-Work process to make it easier for regular PC users to mine new blocks against ASIC miners. It is also one of the first cryptocurrencies that adopted SegWit.

Zcoin is a privacy focused cryptocurrency that was originally built on the Zerocoin protocol. However, given a number of vulnerabilities in that protocol, they recently moved to a new "Sigma" Protocol that was launched in 2019. Transactions are made private by a privacy enhancement in the protocol called "minting". Before you are able to send transactions, you have to mint new coins. Given that all coin's transactions originate from a newly minted coin, it is hard to track the origin. Privacy on Zcoin is made possible through the use of Zero Knowledge proofs. You also have Tor integration as well as their recently released "Dandelion" protocol. This will further help to cement user privacy on the network. ZCoin uses a the Merkle Tree Proof of Work algorithm (MTP). This is a memory hard algorithm that is considered to be ASIC resistant and hence less prone to centralisation. Zcoin also has a masternode architecture with their "Znodes" (require 1,000 XZC to stake). In compensation for running this full node, the Znode will receive 30% of the newly minted Zcoins. The team behind the Zcoin protocol is quite extensive experience in blockchain engineering, software development, cryptography and many more. The developers have also been hard at work if you take a look into their GitHub repository. When it comes to markets, XZC is listed on a number of exchanges including MXC, Coinex, Binance, Huobi etc. There appears to be reasonable liquidity on these exchanges which will ease execution. However, XZC is still volatile so trade with caution. *Coin Bureau's views are not investment advice. Do Your Own Research.

For miners and enthusiasts though, litecoin holds a much more important difference to bitcoin, and that is its different proof of work algorithm. Bitcoin uses the SHA-256 hashing algorithm, which involves calculations that can be greatly accelerated in parallel processing. It is this characteristic that has given rise to the intense race in ASIC technology, and has caused an exponential increase in bitcoin's difficulty level.

There are also purely technical elements to consider. For example, technological advancement in cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin result in high up-front costs to miners in the form of specialized hardware and software.[87] Cryptocurrency transactions are normally irreversible after a number of blocks confirm the transaction. Additionally, cryptocurrency private keys can be permanently lost from local storage due to malware, data loss or the destruction of the physical media. This prevents the cryptocurrency from being spent, resulting in its effective removal from the markets.[88]
Litecoin was released via an open-source client on GitHub on October 7, 2011 by Charlie Lee, a Google employee and former Engineering Director at Coinbase.[2][3] The Litecoin network went live on October 13, 2011. It was a fork of the Bitcoin Core client, differing primarily by having a decreased block generation time (2.5 minutes), increased maximum number of coins, different hashing algorithm (scrypt, instead of SHA-256), and a slightly modified GUI.

Coinbase is not just a "wallet" for digital money, it is an entire platform that makes it is possible to store, transfer, buy and sell it. The process of signing up is similar to any other website. After logging in, it is possible to choose any national currency in the settings to show the relative rate of Bitcoin. In order to transfer money, it is necessary to add some to the account and then submit the information about the receiver. The latest news concerning Coinbase is that access to its system is now available for 24 countries. Coinbase offers two-factor authentication, exchange on stock markets where all operations are possible without leaving the account, instant confirmation of transfers, and partnership programs which gives users $10 for inviting friends to join the platform.

In 1983, the American cryptographer David Chaum conceived an anonymous cryptographic electronic money called ecash.[7][8] Later, in 1995, he implemented it through Digicash,[9] an early form of cryptographic electronic payments which required user software in order to withdraw notes from a bank and designate specific encrypted keys before it can be sent to a recipient. This allowed the digital currency to be untraceable by the issuing bank, the government, or any third party.

Bitcoin is pseudonymous rather than anonymous in that the cryptocurrency within a wallet is not tied to people, but rather to one or more specific keys (or "addresses").[41] Thereby, bitcoin owners are not identifiable, but all transactions are publicly available in the blockchain. Still, cryptocurrency exchanges are often required by law to collect the personal information of their users.[citation needed]

BOYDS, Md. (AP) — Kheli Dube scored twice, and the New England Revolution overcame a second-half rally to beat D.C. United 3-2 Tuesday night in a play-in game for the U.S. Open Cup.
Dube scored in the 34th and 47th minutes, and substitute Alan Koger netted in the 69th for the Revolution, who advance to play Sporting Kansas City in the final play-in round.
The Revolution led 3-0 before Branko Boskovic scored in the 73rd and 83rd minutes for United.
Boskovic later left the game with an injury, forcing United to finish with 10 men.


NHL commissioner Gary Bettman on Wednesday upheld Jakub Voracek's two-game suspension levied by George Parros from the league's Department of Player Safety.
Voracek met with Parros and Bettman Tuesday afternoon for about 75 minutes to review the hit on Islanders defenseman Johnny Boychuk, who is currently going through the league's concussion protocol. Boychuk is currently day to day.
"I had a good feeling about it, but they're not going to tell you how they feel right away," Voracek said after Wednesday's practice at the Wells Fargo Center.
Voracek spoke prior to the league's final ruling.
Interestingly, the on-ice referee Frederick L'Ecuyer told Voracek that he did not make initial contact with Boychuk's head and that's why he wasn't given a game misconduct in addition to his five-minute interference major.
However, the officials could only make that determination by looking at the play in real time at actual speed, whereas the league office had the luxury of reviewing the hit frame by frame that shows Voracek not only initiated the collision, but also came into contact inadvertently with Boychuk's head.
Voracek will serve out the remainder of his suspension when the Flyers host the Washington Capitals on Thursday. It's his first suspension of his 834-game career.

I just 't like this team that much. Oakland has won two straight, and they are doing well, but they have serious schedule issues working against them. I'll side with here despite that road ATS simply as it has a far superior defense. Doc's: Might last week's NFL results cause the books to shade the favorites more for Week 13 ? Really depends how the bracket plays out. That's what happened as the Packers rallied from 21 fourth-quarter deficit to win 27 overtime. Seattle is alive the race, and Philadelphia is a dogfight.

Although I can't associate the individual sounds with the bird making the sound, I can hear all of the birds twittering, chirping and singing.

Stressed plant roots warn the rest of the plant of looming dangers
Brandizzi lab, fundamental research
By Igor Houwat, Federica Brandizzi, Ya-Shiuan Lai
Natural disasters. Humans can't avoid those. But we have systems in place to predict their activity so we minimize loss of life through preventative measures. Take a hurricane. Meteorologists track it with satellites, airplanes, and forecasting models, so people in risk-prone areas can be warned to prepare for the big hit.
It seems plants work the same when under stress, according to a new Michigan State University study. Scientists have shown that when a stress response common to many plant species – the expand iconunfolded protein response (UPR) – is triggered in the roots, the rest of that plant feels it too. The study is in the journal, Nature Communications.
Here's how the UPR works: inside each plant cell is a massive factory, called the expand iconendoplasmic reticulum (ER). It produces one third of a cell's proteins and other building blocks that keep plants healthy and working.
But the factory can get overloaded with production demands during times of disease, extreme heat, even cell growth spurts that demand more new proteins than usual. These stresses cause the ER to make defective expand iconproteins that could harm the plant. So, cellular alarm bells go off, and the UPR kicks in to tame the cells. It destroys or fixes bad proteins and 'resets' the factory to produce healthy ones.
"We have assumed this response happens on the cellular level," says Ya-Shiuan Lai, co-author and recent graduate from the lab of Federica Brandizzi. "Then my mentor asked me, if a cell experiences ER stress in one part of the plant, does the rest of the plant feel it too?"
To answer the question, Lai first developed a way to track the UPR throughout a plant. The control experiment was to attach a fluorescent molecule to a gene found at the center of plant roots. As expected, the fluorescent molecule lit up the root's center, indicating the gene stayed there. Then, Lai added a UPR genetic trigger – called bzip60 – to the combination of fluorescent molecule/central root gene. After treating the roots with a toxic chemical that causes stress, the fluorescent molecule moved to the outside layers of the root.
Left panels: control experiment where the green fluorescent molecule stays at the root center; Right panels: the UPR genetic trigger causes the green signal to move to root edges, which indicates the stress response was communicated over a certain distance.

That meant that the genetic trigger had caused the movement. "We also found that the UPR was activated in those areas where the fluorescent molecule lit up," Lai adds. "That indicates that the gene triggered the stress response wherever it went."
Splitting a plant cuts off contact
With the help of Starla Zemelis, a lab technician in the Brandizzi lab, Lai confirmed the idea through an elegant, but challenging, micro-grafting experiment that took years to perfect. They modified the roots of an Arabidopsis plant - the lab rat for plant scientists - so that the ER could not trigger the UPR in those root cells.
Then they grafted healthy, unmutated plant shoots on top of those mutated roots. When the researchers stressed root cells, the warning signal did not make it to the shoots. But in healthy plants, they saw a long-distance movement of the signal from root to shoots.
"We think the signal moves between cells through the plasmodesmata, which is one of the contact points between neighboring cells. It is as if the cells in those healthy plants 'pass the baton' to help the gene travel and trigger the UPR across the entire plant," Lai says.
According to Federica Brandizzi, Lai's mentor, the fact the gene moves from roots to shoots, and not the other way around, is likely important.
"Roots are sensitive organs. They have to explore the ground and warn the plant about potential stresses," Brandizzi says. "In the case of the UPR, we think that long-distance communication is a warning from the roots to the plants to prepare for the big 'hit' and to allocate resources appropriately."

When electrons move, they are the electricity that powers life. But they are hard to pin down. The newly engineered system could guide electron transfer over long distances, powering future applications in medicine or 'green' fuel production.

Identifying a plant cell barrier to breeding more nutritious crops
For decades, scientists have unsuccessfully tried to dial up amino acid production in crops. One roadblock might be the target of rapamycin (TOR) protein, which detects nutrient availability in plant cells in order to control cell growth and metabolism.
