Happy holidays folks and welcome back to A Drink Man's Game. This week is pretty cool because I got to revisit not only my very first review, but also one of my favorites. We are just in time for the holidays and our friends from Jackson Morgan Southern Cream sent us their Peppermint Mocha Liqueur. Thank you guys for granting us the opportunity of reviewing such a quality product once again.
Let me kick this off by saying, Jackson Morgan strikes again! In the midst of the holiday season it's evident that anything with peppermint will have a distinctive presence. You can bet that Jackson Morgan's award winning Peppermint Mocha has that distinctiveness that makes you want to add this spirit to the drink cart year after year.
Throughout my drinking career , I've learned that liqueurs take a little more creativity but usually yield the best results. The consistency of Peppermint Mocha reminds me of other festive drinks like eggnog or coquitlam, but definitely brings something unique to the table. I truly wanted to make a drink that reminded me of the holiday season. The first thing that came to mind during the winter was hot chocolate. So, I decided to raid the Swiss Miss and marshmallows then create what I like to call the Cocoa Toddy. If you couldn't tell I did my best Diddy impersonation there. Now I'm not sure if anybody has created something of the same likeness but I'm staking claim and ownership, and this will remain debatable. If you are a fan of peppermint and chocolate the taste will remind you of Andes Crem de Menthe candy. For those unfamiliar with that brand of candy, that is the brand of the mints that are left on hotel pillows. My world famous Cocoa Toddy is a delicious recipe that provided me with the perfect nostalgia that I was searching for. I'm well aware of there being some weirdos out there that are thinking; what if I don't like hot chocolate? Or maybe someone who doesn't have hot chocolate readily available. The Peppermint Mocha is definitely enjoyable chilled or on the rocks. Like it's counterparts the Peppermint Mocha smoothness and flavor profile needs nothing to supplement it's taste. However, if you like to try new drinks like I do, try out Jackson Morgan's signature Peppermint Russian.
In reviewing Jackson Morgan's lineup of spirits, I truly consider myself a fan of the brand. I promise I didn't intentionally rhyme that last sentence. If you enjoy holiday spirits, when you hit the liquor store this weekend pick up a bottle of Jackson Morgan's Peppermint Mocha. This will make your holidays even more enjoyable with the friends and family!

Q: Environment variables in database.php I have added DB credentials as environment variables (using nginx), so that i can use them like so:
return array(

    'connections' => array(

        'mysql' => array(
            'driver'   => 'mysql',
            'host'     => 'localhost',
            'database' => getenv('DB_NAME'),
            'username' => getenv('DB_USER'),
            'password' => getenv('DB_PASS'),
            'charset'   => 'utf8',
            'collation' => 'utf8_unicode_ci',
            'prefix'    => '',
            )

    )
);

The problem is that when I use artisan the environment variables do not seem to be available, so when i run migrate or seed i get errors.
Is there a way around that or should i just write my DB credentials directly in my config file ?

A: To edit my previous answer (sorry for misunderstandig):
Yes, environment variables are created by server, so they can't be reached or modified from CLI. Before deploying, server is generating those variables, so they can be "injected" into application at runtime.
I am thinking that it is maybe possible to reach those variables through remote Laravel package and SSH ? For example php artisan tail command is reading locally errors from the server side.

"I wish, Mr. President," he said in a clear, steady voice, "to ask you, whether a man who, relying upon his skill with the pistol, wantonly insults another, is not a blackguard and unfit for the society of gentlemen?"
In ten minutes they returned, and by the flushed, angry face of Mr. Faulkner, Frank judged at once that he had been overruled. The chairman briefly announced the decision of the court, and committed the seven smugglers for trial on the whole of the charges. The Weymouth fisherman was also committed, but only on the charge of being engaged in the unlawful act of defrauding His Majesty's revenue, and was allowed out on bail. The two farm labourers were fined fifty pounds apiece, which their solicitor at once paid.
There was again a murmur of applause in court, which was instantly arrested when Mr. Probert held up his hand deprecatingly. "Thank you, Captain Downes," he went on. "Now we come to the question of the quarrel that gave rise to this affair. Mr. Faulkner has not thought fit to ask you any questions about it. Were you standing close enough to hear what passed?"
"This was soon done. I could see that the young fellow was very much cut up over the affair, and that he had undertaken to act for Marshall because he was afraid to refuse. It did not take us five minutes altogether. I looked in at the doctor's after we separated, to ask him to go with us.
"Well, comrade, so you too have gone through it without a scratch," Julian's friend, the sergeant, said to him. "Well, you will never see such a fight again if you grow gray in the service. Where are those who scoffed at the Russians now? They can fight, these men. It was a battle of giants. No one could have done more than we did, and yet they did as much; but to-morrow we shall win."
"He made a step towards me with a threatening gesture."

The present invention provides electrosurgical needles, needle systems, and methods for their use which will allow the surgeon to target a tumor's blood supply. Generally, the invention facilities targeting the bloodflow of the tumor by incorporating a doppler ultrasound transducer into the needle or needle sheath. Preferably, the surgeon will also be able to control the temperature of the needle using an integral temperature sensor to effect maximum transfer of the RF energy into the tissue, thereby maximizing the volume of tissue destroyed. Furthermore, when used (for example) in the treatment of uterine fibroids, the present invention will reduce damage to the serosa by monitoring the uterine surface temperature during myolysis through a temperature sensor integrated into the sheath holding the myolysis needle.
This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 60/006,396, filed Nov. 9, 1995, the full disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
Benign leiomyomata (uterine fibroids) are common tumors which affect more than 25% of all women at some time during the reproductive years. Many women wish to have fibroid-related symptoms such as bleeding and pain treated without resort to hysterectomy. Pharmacologic therapy alone is of limited utility due to side-effects associated with long-term use. Hysteroscopic resection using the loop or vaporizing resectoscope is appropriate for those tumors which protrude into the uterine cavity--so called submucous myomas. Surgical myomectormy (removal of the fibroid) is often used for tumors which are thought to be the cause of infertility. However, this approach usually requires a laparotomy and is often associated with adhesion formation between the uterus, bowel and other adjacent structures. These adhesions can be the cause of chronic pain in some patients.
Needle myolysis is a promising technique whereby a laparoscope is used to introduce one or more needles into a fibroid tumor under visual control. Bipolar Radio Frequency ("RF") current is then delivered between two adjacent needles, or unipolar current between a single needle and a distant dispersive electrode affixed to the thigh or back. The aim of needle myolysis is to coagulate a significant volume of the tumor and thereby cause it to shrink substantially. The traditional technique is to make multiple passes through different areas of the tumor using the coagulating needle to destroy many cylindrical cores of abnormal tissue. However, the desirability of multiple passes is mitigated by the risk of adhesion formation, which is thought to increase with increasing amounts of injured uterine serosa, and by the operative time and skill required.
Recently, Goldrath and others have demonstrated that tumor shrinkage can be preferentially induced by destroying the tumor's blood supply, which is generally located on the periphery, rather than by targeting the bulk of the fibroid. Physicians acting on this observation use the needles to ring the tumor with cores of coagulation. This technique still calls for multiple tumor passes and, in the end, the operator remains uncertain as to the status of the tumor's blood supply.
Another problem with needle myolysis is the variability in generated lesion sizes created by the electrocautery generator. Electrosurgical lesions are created when radiofrequency current flows through tissue, resistively heating it to the point of cell death. It has been demonstrated in the RF catheter ablation literature and elsewhere that maximum energy transfer occurs when the electrode tissue interface temperature remains below 100° C. Temperatures in excess of 100° C. cause intracellular water to boil, desiccating tissue and reducing the electrical and thermal conductivity of the surrounding tissue. Under such conditions, the impedance seen by the ESU increases and current flow falls (since most ESUs are constant voltage sources). Since the electrocautery electrode itself acts as a passive heat sink, the highest tissue temperature is usually found at some depth from the tissue-electrode interface. Therefore, under ideal circumstances the coagulating electrode temperature would be maintained at some level below the critical 100° C. temperature (e.g., 80° C.).
Today, the surgeon must set ESU power levels based upon heuristics. However, the amount of energy required to maintain the tissue-electrode interface at the desired temperature will vary depending upon a number of factors, including the size of the coagulating needle, the blood flow in the surrounding tissue, etc. Excessive temperatures at the uterine serosa can be expected to increase the incidence of adhesion formation; this can lead to chronic pain in some patients.
The present invention provides electrosurgical needles, needle systems, and methods for their use which will allow the surgeon to target a tumor's blood supply. Generally, the invention facilities targeting the bloodflow of the tumor by incorporating a Doppler ultrasound transducer into the needle or needle sheath. Preferably, the surgeon will also be able to control the temperature of the needle using an integral temperature sensor to effect maximum transfer of the electrosurgical energy into the tissue, thereby maximizing the volume of tissue destroyed. Furthermore, when used (for example) in the treatment of uterine fibroids, the present invention will reduce damage to the serosa by monitoring the uterine surface temperature during myolysis through a temperature sensor integrated into the sheath surrounding the myolysis needle.
In a first aspect, the present invention provides an electrosurgical device comprising a needle having a proximal end and a distal end, with an ultrasound transducer near the distal end. A conductive surface is disposed near the distal end of the needle to induce heating of adjacent tissues when an electrical potential is applied. The transducer will preferably be coupled to a Doppler ultrasound system capable of sensing bloodflow. Advantageously, the transducer can thus be used to direct the insertion of the needle to specifically target and coagulate the bloodflow to a tumor.
In another aspect, the present invention provides an electrosurgical probe comprising a needle having a proximal end and a distal end. The distal end is adapted for insertion into a target tissue of a patient body. A conductive surface is disposed near the distal end of the needle, and is capable of heating the target tissue when the needle is inserted and an electrical potential is applied. An ultrasound transducer is mounted along the needle for directing insertion of the needle toward the target tissue.
The conductive surface and the transducer will typically be electrically and/or thermally isolated from each other. In some embodiments, the ultrasound transducer will be affixed to the needle itself and will be inserted toward the target tissue with that structure. In alternative embodiments, the transducer will be mounted on a sheath surrounding the needle, ideally being distally oriented to track the path of the needle when the transducer is placed against tissue and the needle is advanced distally from the sheath. Regardless, the transducer will generally comprise a phased-array capable of use with a Doppler ultrasound system for sensing and color imaging of bloodflows. A temperature sensor on the sheath will preferably provide feedback to the electrosurgical power source to further minimize damage to surrounding tissues.
In another aspect, the present invention provides an electrosurgical probe comprising a needle having a proximal end and a distal end, the distal end being adapted for insertion into a target tissue of a patient body. The needle has a conductive surface disposed near the distal end which is capable of heating the target tissue when the needle is inserted and an electrical potential is applied. A sheath is slidably disposed over the needle. A temperature sensor mounted on the needle or the sheath indicates the temperature of tissues adjacent the target tissue. Preferably, an ultrasound transducer is mounted on the needle or the sheath. The transducer is coupleable to a Doppler ultrasound system for directing insertion of the needle toward a bloodflow of the target tissue.
In another aspect, the present invention provides an electrosurgical system comprising a needle having a proximal end and a distal end, the distal end being adapted for insertion into a target tissue of a patient body. The needle has a conductive surface disposed near the distal end. An electrosurgical power source is coupled to the conductive surface for heating the target tissue. An ultrasound transducer is mounted along the needle, and a Doppler ultrasound system is coupled to the ultrasound transducer for directing insertion of the needle toward a bloodflow of the target tissue.
FIG. 1 is a schematic illustration of a myolysis needle according to the principles of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a schematic illustration of an alternative myolysis needle having a Doppler transducer mounted on the sheath, according to the principles of the present invention.
FIG. 3 schematically illustrates an electrosurgical system including the myolysis needle of FIG. 1, and also shows a method of using that system for the treatment of uterine fibroids.
It should be noted that while the apparatus and methods of the present invention are particularly well suited for laparoscopically or hysteroscopically inducing shrinkage of fibroid tumors, the present invention will also have application in the treatment of other tumors, particularly the prostatic adenoma responsible for benign prostatic hyperplasia. Therefore, descriptions of utility in laparoscopic treatment of fibroid tumors should not be viewed as limiting the application of the technology. For example, application of a Doppler ultrasound coagulation needle to BPH through an operating cystoscope would also be possible.
Doppler ultrasound is used in medicine to detect blood flow. Doppler ultrasound technology has been integrated into stethoscopes, scanning ultrasound probes, and more recently, vascular access needles. An exemplary Doppler vascular access needle has been developed by Advanced Cardiovascular Systems, Inc., under the tradename SmartNeedle. A Doppler ultrasound guided needle is described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,259,385, the full disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
The myolysis needle will preferably be equipped with a temperature sensor 22, such as a thermocouple or thermistor. This will enable the physician to monitor temperatures during a burn and adjust the power setting accordingly. Another alternative is to use the temperature sensor to close a feedback loop to the ESU, permitting continuous automatic temperature control at the ablating site. In this embodiment, the operator would set the desired needle temperature and maximum allowable ESU power. The ESU would then decrease power from the setpoint as required to avoid overshooting the set-point temperature. In this example, the surgeon would still see a real-time readout of the actual needle temperature. An exemplary electrosurgical feedback loop is described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,556,396, the full disclosure of which is incorporated by reference.
Needle probe 10 incorporates doppler ultrasound transducer 17 into the myolysis needle 16 itself. In an alternative needle probe 30, a sheath transducer 32 may be mounted on flow-sensing sheath 34, as shown in FIG. 2. The sheath transducer permits the surgeon to target the blood supply of a fibroid, prostatic adenoma, or other tumor by placing the end of the sheath against adjacent tissues. As is known in the art, the Doppler transducer will often provide an image of bloodflow along an image plane or surface. Preferably, sheath transducer 32 will be distally oriented so that the Doppler image can be used to direct distal advancement of the needle, the needle ideally being adjacent an image plane. Sheath transducer 32 will typically be offset to one side of the needle as shown, but may alternatively comprise an annular structure disposed coaxially about the needle, a plurality of transducers mounted about the needle, or the like.
Referring still to FIG. 2, a sheath temperature sensor 36, typically a thermocouple or thermistor, can also be incorporated into the sheath surrounding the retractable myolysis needle. This sensor provides additional feedback on the coagulation process, and is particularly beneficial for minimizing damage to tissues surrounding those targeted for electrosurgical therapy. When pressed against the serosal surface of the uterus, for example, this thermal sensor can display the uterine surface temperature. An alarm can sound if the surface temperature exceeds a user-selected level (e.g., 45° C.). In the exemplary embodiment, the needle myolysis device is equipped with an irrigation port 38 so that the serosa is cooled by irrigation solution during the myolysis burn, still further minimizing trauma to surrounding tissues.
A wide variety of alternative electrosurgical needle structures and electrosurgical current pathways may be provided within the scope of the present invention. Generally, current delivery may be effected via a single needle in unipolar or monopolar mode, via a pair of needles in bipolar mode, or between a single needle and a distal surface of the sheath in an alternative bipolar arrangement. Alternatively, one or more myolysis needles could be energized by connecting electrically separated segments of each needle in parallel. In some embodiments, depending upon the amount of needle exposed from the sheath, a proximal needle segment between the conductive surface (or surfaces) and the sheath can be left inactive, thereby sparing the uterine serosa the direct effects of resistive heating. A simple device might have fixed or retractable needle(s) and an irrigation port for serosal cooling during current application. Optionally, where the needle electrode is fixed in position, and where surface cooling is provided via irrigation, only the distal portion of the needle will be active. This structure may optionally be used by slowly withdrawing the needle while applying electrosurgical energy. Other features, such as temperature sensing in the lesion, at the serosa, and Doppler assisted blood-flow localization could be added individually or together.
Each of these embodiments will preferably include a Doppler transducer integrated into the structure of the needle probe. The most likely route of introduction of this device would be through a laparoscope, although hysteroscopic and cystoscopic use is also possible.
An exemplary system and method for treating uterine fibroids is schematically illustrated in FIG. 3. In a needle system 40, needle probe 30 is coupled to an electrosurgical power unit 42. Here, the needle applies current in a monopolar mode, while dispersive electrode 44 will typically be affixed to the thigh or back, as described above. A Doppler ultrasound image system 46 is coupled to sheath transducer 32, providing an image of bloodflow at an image plane 48. As the needle and transducer are integrated into a single probe structure, and as needle 16 extends along image plane 48, the Doppler image greatly facilitates insertion of needle 16 distally from the sheath toward a bloodflow B of a tumor T. Once the Doppler image system indicates that the needle is adjacent the vessel which is supplying blood to the tumor, electrosurgical power is applied by ESU 42 through the needle to coagulate the bloodflow. Optionally, the temperature of the adjacent tissue is monitored during the burn by sheath temperature sensor 36. Ideally, the temperature sensor is coupled to the ESU through a temperature control system 50, so as to provide the necessary coagulation with minimal trauma, such as injury to the uterine serosa, adhesion formation, and the like. Cooling will typically be provided with a distal irrigation port of the sheath and irrigation fluid 52, as is generally described above.
Although the specific embodiments have been described in some detail, by way of illustration and for clarity of understanding, a variety of modifications, adaptations and alternatives will be obvious to those of skill in the art. Therefore, the scope of the present invention is limited solely by the appended claims.
energizing said needle to destroy said blood supply without targeting the bulk of the tumor by creating coagulation around the tumor.
verifying stoppage of bloodflow to tumor tissue by sensing with said ultrasound transducer.
3. A method as claimed in claim 2, wherein the inserting step is directed toward the bloodflow with a Doppler ultrasound image provided from the sensing step.

Alton shortstop Tami Wong, shown throwing to first for an out Thursday at Roxana, had five hits Saturday in the Redbirds' doubleheader split with Jersey at Alton High in Godfrey.
A first-game victory and a quick 4-0 lead in the second game put Alton Redbirds softball in prime position for a doubleheader sweep Saturday.
But a seven-run third inning saved the Jersey Panthers and salvaged their split in Godfrey.
The Panthers rapped out six hits, including four doubles, in their big inning that accounted for all Jersey's runs in a 7-5 victory after the Redbirds won the opener 7-4. Alton is 4-2. Jersey is 2-3.
Brooke Tuttle went 4-for-4 in the second-game win for Jersey, which got two hits and three RBIs from Grace Sharich and three hits, including a pair of doubles, from Ryleigh Jones. Shelby Koenig went the distance for the win, yielding five runs on 12 hits, one walk and six strikeouts.
Alton's Lynna Fischer and Emma Kiger both had three hits, and Abby Sullivan and Tami Wong added two hits apiece in the second game. Kiger took the loss, with six of the seven runs she allowed coming unearned. Abby Scyoc was strong in relief with 4 1/3 shutout innings, but the Redbirds offense could not rally to bail out a defense that committed six errors.
In the opener, Alton scored four runs in the fourth inning to go up 5-2. The Panthers got within 5-4, but could not regain a lead. Lauren Brown and Lauren Rexing both hit homers and drove in two runs for the Panthers, who got two hits from both Tuttle and Melissa Weishaupt. Four errors hurt Jersey pitcher Claire Anderson, who allowed seven runs (three earned) on eight hits, two walks and three strikeouts.
Alton picked up three hits from Wong and two hits and three RBIs from Sullivan. Alyson Haegele got the win, while Kiger turned in two scoreless innings for a save.
Carrollton 7, Auburn 6 – The Hawks were one out away from their season's first defeat before being rescued by a Layna Mullink bunt single and a Hannah Krumwiede blast that stunned the Trojans in Carrollton. Krumwiede's two-run homer, her second of the game, pushed the Hawks' record to 5-0. Auburn is 2-3.
Auburn scored five runs in the top of the first, but the Hawks rallied with two runs in the bottom of the inning and three more in the second to draw even at 5-5. The Trojans regained the lead with a run in the fourth and that score stood until Krumwiede's walk-off.
Krumwiede had three hits and four RBIs, with Mullink twice getting hits to score in front of Krumwiede homers. Hannah Rhoades hit a two-run home run in the first inning and then turned in 5 2/3 innings of stellar relief to earn the win for the Hawks. She allowed one run on two hits while striking out seven and walking no one.
Marquette Catholic 7, Red Bud 3 – It took 148 pitches, but Taylor Whitehead hurled the Explorers past the Musketeers at Moore Park in Alton. Marquette is 4-0. Red Bud is 5-5.
Whitehead went the distance, allowing four hits and five walks while striking out 11 for the win. The Explorers broke a 3-3 tie with two runs in the fourth inning and added single runs in the fifth and sixth. Jada Johnson had two hits and three RBIs for Marquette, which picked up two hits apiece from Kiley Kirchner and Whitehead.
Calhoun drops two at Quincy – Rock Island Alleman broke a scoreless tie with single runs in the sixth and seventh to beat the Warriors 2-0. Quincy Notre Dame hit the Warriors with a five-run sixth to win 8-4. The two defeats at the QND Softball Slam at the Backyard leaves Calhoun at 2-2.
Warriors junior Sydney Baalman took the loss against Alleman, despite striking out 15. She allowed two runs on four hits and two walks. Baalman had two hits for Calhoun, which was shut out on five hits. Alleman is 4-2.
Against QND, the Warriors scored three runs in the top of the sixth to take a 4-3 lead before the Raiders answered with five in the bottom of the inning. Calhoun again finished with five hits, including two from Elly Pohlman. Lucy Kallal drove in two runs for the Warriors. Holly Baalman suffered the loss, surrendering eight runs (five earned) on 14 hits, one walk and five strikeouts in six innings.
Lebanon 8, Bunker Hill 5 – The Minutemaids saw their 5-4 lead wiped away when the Greyhounds scored four runs in the fifth inning to win in Lebanon. The Greyhounds are 2-2. The Maids are 0-4.
Bunker Hill outhit the Hounds 10-9, but three Minutemaids errors led to four unearned runs. Taylor Girth took the loss. Alyssa Austill homered and joined Grace Kiffmeyer, Danna Kruemmelbein and Josie Manor with two hits each. Girth drove in two runs.
North Greene 11, Carlinville 3 – The Spartans led 4-3 before drawing off with four runs in the fifth inning and four more in the sixth to beat the Cavaliers in White Hall. North Greene is 3-3. Carlinville is 2-2.
The bottom five hitters in the Spartans' lineup accounted for 12 of their 15 hits, including three apiece from Kassie Edwards, Elizabeth Rogers and Karissa Woosley and two from Lakeleigh Brown. Rogers drove in three runs, Woosley had two doubles and two RBIs, and Brittany Davison chipped in two RBIs for North Greene.
Meagan Roberts was the winner, pitching seven innings and allowing three runs on seven hits with one walk and seven strikeouts. Carlinville got a two-run homer from Lexi Bates and two hits from pitcher Dani Westnedge.
Edwardsville splits pair – Savannah Fierke threw a one-hitter to lead Joliet West to a 3-0 victory over the Tigers at the District 7 Sports Complex. Edwardsville split the day when a six-run second inning carried the Tigers to a 6-4 victory over Breese Mater Dei.
Fierke struck out 14 and walked no one. Maria Smith's two-out double in the sixth inning ended Fierke's no-hit bid. West went 1-1 on the day, losing to O'Fallon 5-4.
Mater Dei matched Edwardsville with six hits, but two runs in the fifth inning and two more in the sixth was not enough for the Knights to recover from being down 6-0. Moe Kastens drove in three runs for the Tigers. Kay Swanson pitched six innings for the win, with Katherine Bobinski-Boyd earning the save. Edwardsville is 3-2.


🇬🇧 GBP – Sterling has fallen back into the mid-1.2950 range following yesterday's Bank of England press conference where interest rates were unanimously kept on hold, while Governor Mark Carney indicated that any future moves would be entirely Brexit dependent. As part of the release, the BoE said that 2019 was the year in which Britain was likely to experience its weakest economic growth in ten years blaming the mounting Brexit uncertainty and the global slowdown. Growth forecasts were slashed from 1.7 per cent to 1.2 per cent as the BoE expects just 0.2 per cent growth in both the first and second quarter of the year. This news, in turn, caused Sterling to fall by half a per cent before then recovering back to test the 1.30 level, which indicates the extent to which investors are more concerned about Brexit headlines, as opposed to the central bank's economic outlook. Given that, the latest Brexit development is that Theresa May and EU leaders have agreed to continue negotiations following 'robust but constructive talks,' in a bid to break the Brexit deadlock. As part of this, she will travel to Dublin today to discuss the Irish backstop with counterpart Leo Varadkar as she seeks legally binding changes to the backstop, despite both the EU and the Irish PM repeatedly rejecting her attempts to make any changes to the current deal.
🇺🇸 USD – US-China trade tensions take the headlines this morning as President Trump indicated late last night that he was unlikely to meet President Xi Jinping before the end of the current trade truce, which is set to end on March 1st. As a result, the US dollar has remained well supported as investors are drawing out of riskier assets such as equities and instead choosing to hold their money in cash. Despite the panic, if we do not see a solution by the deadline, there still remains a chance of an extension which would avoid the imposition of tariffs on Chinese goods at the start of March. As a result of these safe-haven flows, the dollar is holding close to two-week highs against the euro this morning while the US Dollar Index approaches new highs for 2019. A lot of this is due in part to the weakness we are also seeing in the USD's main currency partners as we are seeing a number of central banks put tightening plans on hold. This includes the Reserve Bank of Australia, the European Central Bank and the Bank of England, while the Reserve Bank of India unexpectedly cut rates on Thursday. In comparison, the US economy is looking relatively robust as policymakers seek to manage its overheating. As a reminder, 2019 was meant to be the year we saw the dollar peak, and yet the global weakness actually means it is currently the best of a bad bunch.
🇪🇺 EUR – As the author of the market report, I am struggling to think of new ways every day to describe the battering of the European economy, but yesterday was no exception. After the ongoing stream of poor data we have seen specifically within Germany, as well as the Eurozone as a whole, the European Commission came out with their growth forecasts for 2019. Unsurprisingly, all countries bar Greece saw their forecasts slashed. Of these, the Italian forecast stood out as it fell from 1.2 per cent to 0.2 per cent which could have ramifications for its budget going forward. This was not helped by this morning's Industrial output data coming in well below expectations. As a result, following a terrible week of data and economic releases, the single currency is in line for its biggest weekly loss in four months, as it appears the economic slowdown in Europe is spreading. Interestingly, all of this combined has cause Philip Wee, a currency strategist at DBS Bank to forecast that the euro will depreciate below $1.10 this year as a result of Europe's weaker growth and poor inflation outlook, compared to the relative strength of the US.
EUR: Euro in line for worst weekly losses in four months due to ongoing stream of poor data, including the European Commission's slashing of growth forecasts across the Eurozone area.

Q: Differences between Flash and AIR From a developer's point of view, are there other differences between Flash and AIR to take into account, apart from the certificate and AIR not supporting ActionScript 2.0?

A: Well, the obvious difference is that AIR runs on your desktop and not in the browser. The AIR runtime ( what your swf runs inside when it is an AIR app ) also provides you with more access to the user's computers.
This is not a comprehensive list, but here are a few features that AIR has that the normal flash player doesn't:

*

*local file system access

*sqlite database classes

*webkit integration ( for displaying
html )

*native drag and drop

*clipboard

*open external apps from within your air

AIR apps can be built w/ pure ActionScript, Flex, JavaScript & HTML.
Here you can find the complete ActionScript Language Reference for AIR 2.0.:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/index.html?filter_air=2
Note that any class with the AIR icon next to it is AIR only. This should be a good way for you to see what is unique to AIR.

A: AIR addition to the actionscript 3 language that provide ways to control features from windows, mac, and linux. eg the titlebar and saving files.
Flex is an addition to the actionscript 3 language that provides way to new interrogation features from server technologies like java, php, asp and connection between multiple flash applications and databases.
Flash (CS4) can include AIR code but doesn't include Flex code. the server technology in Flash is limited but exists. Flash includes the GUI that stream lines developing. Like vector based graphics, filters, and components. Also more documentation and examples because it's easier to rewrite classes from Flex into Flash then rewriting Flash code for classes.
Where in Flash you have a button, radio button, dropdown, or menu for every property of a movieclip, image, button. Where in Flex you can write all these properties/options by simply copying pasting, and tweaking the raw code.

Candidates to battle for 3 Sparks City Council seats
March 29, 2016 By Sparks Tribune Leave a Comment
Three of six seats will be contested for positions on the Sparks City Council, and at least two of those spots will be guaranteed to go to newcomers to the board. Add in a spot on the State Assembly for District 13 and a new justice of the peace position and it should make for quite a lively election season.
The spots open on the city council are for Wards 1, 3 and 5. The primary elections are June 4, with the general election set for Nov. 8. In the primary elections, voters from the specific wards will vote for their preferred candidate. In the general election, the vote is city-wide.
In Ward 1, there are three candidates who have files to replace Julia Ratti, who announced months ago that she would not be seeking re-election. Vying for the seat are Donald Abbott, a professional photographer; Denise Lopez, who works for Hillary Clinton's campaign; and Adam Khan, a former GOP chairman.
In Ward 3, incumbent Ron Smith with face off against John Rhoads. Smith has been on the council since 2006.
Ward 5 incumbent Ron Schmitt can't be re-elected because of term limits, so three candidates will look to assume his seat: Kristopher Dahir, Thomas P. Lean and John Walter. Dahir is a representative of the Sparks Citizen Advisory Council, appointed by Councilman Smith. Walter is a 25-year resident of Ward 5 and Lean didn't include any biographical information on the Washoe County website of candidate profiles.
City attorney Chet Adams is running unopposed for his position. In Justice of the Peace Department 2, incumbent Kevin Higgins is also running unopposed. There is a new Justice of the Peace Department 3 position available and Matt Lee and Jessica Longley have filed for the spot.
In State Assembly District 13, Ratti (D) announced she will run for election to replace the departed Debbie Smith. She is the only Democrat running, so she won't face opposition until the general election, as will Libertarian Brandon Jacobs. Two Republicans will face off in the primary: Samantha Brockeslby and Kent Bailey.
Brockelsby is a nationally known female auctioneer and owner of Weathervane Auction House. Bailey works for Motorola Solution and has previous experience in government while living in Wyoming.
Mike Sprinkle, D-Sparks, is the incumbent in Assembly District 30 and is running unopposed, as is Ira Hansen, R-Sparks, in Assembly Districtt 32. In District 31, incumbent Jill Dickman, R-Sparks, will face off against former Assemblyman Skip Daly, D-Sparks, in the general election in November.
Lastly, in County Commission District 4, which includes Sparks, Spanish Springs and Wadsworth, incumbent Republican Vaughan Hartung will face Maurice Washington, also a Republican, in the primary. Whoever wins the vote will run unopposed in the general election, as there are no Democrats on the ticket.

Trump's Fed pick, Shelton, calls for Fed coordination with White House
Ann Saphir and Howard Schneider
WASHINGTON — Judy Shelton, U.S. President Donald Trump's pick to fill a vacant seat at the Federal Reserve, downplayed the independence of the central bank on Tuesday and called on the Fed to work more closely with the White House, an approach that would upend how it currently conducts monetary policy.
The Fed considers its policy independence a bedrock that ensures its ability to help the economy achieve full employment and stable prices, two mandates that Congress has assigned to it.
Trump's Fed pick, Shelton, calls for Fed coordination with White House Back to video
Trump has repeatedly attacked that independence, demanding that Fed Chair Jerome Powell slash interest rates to below zero to boost economic growth, further his administration's trade policies and help the U.S. compete better against other countries that already have negative rates.
While most mainstream economists see Trump's attempts to influence the Fed as risking the kind of runaway inflation that has plagued countries like Argentina where the central bank is not independent, Shelton has embraced his involvement.
The Fed, she wrote in an opinion piece published in the Wall Street Journal, should "pursue a more coordinated relationship with both Congress and the president," to attain goals, including a smaller trade deficit.
Congress, she wrote, "historically hasn't sought to treat the Federal Reserve as a detached lever of economic power (but rather) intended to incorporate monetary policy into an overarching effort to achieve 'important national requirements' that improve U.S. economic prospects."
The column, one of several Shelton has penned since Trump said earlier this year he intended to nominate her, is a harbinger of a potential clash of cultures if she joins the Fed.
The framework she hints at, of close coordination between the Fed, the White House, and Congress, would break down the separation that Fed policymakers try to maintain between their judgments about the economy and the political priorities of a given administration.
Shelton did not respond to a request from Reuters about her column.
Introducing trade deficits to the Fed's policy judgments could pose a particular challenge to other Fed goals.
Imports tend to keep inflation low, for example, and many economists argue that it is excessive government spending, not trade policy, that drives the shortfall between what the U.S. produces and what it consumes.
The balance between those two is made up through imports. If the Fed were to try to pare the trade deficit, that could make it harder to achieve its other goals of 2% inflation and full employment.
The Fed on Tuesday begins a two-day policy meeting where it is expected to cut interest rates by a quarter of a percentage point for the second time this year. (Reporting by Ann Saphir; Editing by Bernadette Baum)


In any solid Investors' Rights Agreement, the investors will also secure a promise via the company that they can maintain "true books and records of account" from a system of accounting based on accepted accounting systems. Corporation also must covenant anytime the end of each fiscal year it will furnish to every stockholder an equilibrium sheet of this company, revealing the financials of enterprise such as gross revenue, losses, profit, and cash flow. The company will also provide, in advance, an annual budget for every year using a financial report after each fiscal fraction.
Finally, the investors will almost always want to secure a right of first refusal in the Agreement. This means that each major investor shall have the authority to purchase a professional rata share of any new offering of equity securities along with company. This means that the company must records notice towards the shareholders of the equity offering, and permit each shareholder a certain amount of time exercise any right. Generally, 120 days is extended. If after 120 days the shareholder does not exercise your right, n comparison to the company shall have a choice to sell the stock to other parties. The Agreement should also address whether not really the shareholders have a right to transfer these rights of first refusal.
There will also special rights usually awarded to large venture capitalist investors, like the right to elect some form of of the business' directors as well as the right to participate in manage of any shares made by the founders of organization (a so-called "Co Founder IP Assignement Ageement India-sale" right). Yet generally speaking, the main rights embodied in an Investors' Rights Agreement always be right to sign up one's stock with the SEC, the correct to receive information in the company on the consistent basis, and the right to purchase stock any kind of new issuance.


Among the first things that I will do is consolidate and accelerate reforms to ensure that benefits percolate to the common man. For instance, in agriculture, while the focus has been on minimum support prices, I would like to stimulate cold storage infrastructure and proper warehousing to minimise loss of produce to ensure food security, fair remuneration and stable pricing. We have the potential to become one of the largest food suppliers in the world; organic farming and usage of drip irrigation will be encouraged.
While 'Make in India' is laudable, the existing manufacturers need a clear direction road map and stable policy regime. To cite an example is the inverse duty structures, which will be corrected wherever required to benefit domestic manufacturers.
Additionally, a stable and moderate tax regime with a clear road map and ease of doing business will be the thrust. Even the US is making efforts by slashing the corporate tax rates. I propose a lower rate tax structure without exemptions. Any ambiguity on minimum alternate taxation regime will be removed.
Real estate will be another focus sector where construction will lead to creation of housing / employment/ and drive demand for cement /steel and housing materials. The thrust on affordable housing will be sustained and widened to one level up.
Manufacturing competitiveness overall and export infrastructure like ports will be given a special thrust. The exports sector as our foreign exchange earnings need to be secured keeping in mind the volatility of oil prices coupled with currency fluctuation have the potential to derail our economy.
Another sector that brings in huge foreign exchange earning and employment potential is tourism. Tourism-related infrastructure /educational institutions and hotel taxation will be adequately focused on, to attract international and domestic tourism.
Equally important are power sector reforms and energy security, which will enable us to achieve the above objectives. We are in the process of shifting to greener fuel and renewable energy, I would ensure that measures are in place to stimulate infrastructure and attract investments.
In a parallel thrust, the small and medium enterprises would need to be facilitated as they can significantly contribute to informal employment thus adding purchasing power at the bottom of the economic pyramid.
After the introduction of GST, indirect tax regime has a clear road map. The focus will now be on direct taxes by widening the tax base, simplifying it, reducing personal taxation.
To be a global leader, we must establish innovation and incubation centres for future technology. Our investments on R&D need to be at par with advanced nations. To encourage and achieve this, I propose that spends on R&D be allowed 200 per cent deduction for another 10 years.

Home Headlines & Breaking News NYC Math Teacher Held Without Bail In Bomb-Making Case
NYC Math Teacher Held Without Bail In Bomb-Making Case
A math teacher was ordered held without bail Wednesday by a New York judge who said he's not comfortable freeing a man accused of getting students to help him assemble explosives at home.
U.S. Magistrate Judge James L. Cott in Manhattan cited "very strong evidence" against Christian Toro, 27, in denying bail.
Cott ruled after Assistant U.S. Attorney Elizabeth Haft revealed that Toro and his brother had exchanged text messages discussing how Stephen Paddock had a police scanner when he fired from his high-rise hotel suite in Las Vegas last fall, killing 58 people at an outdoor country music festival.
Haft said Toro's brother, Tyler, who also is charged in the case, sent a text message saying: "We need to invest in one."
"Copy. I see a couple on Amazon," the prosecutor said Toro responded.
Haft said a "veritable trove of extremely dangerous items" was recovered from the Bronx apartment where the brothers lived with their mother. She called him a "grave threat to society."
The teacher was arrested last week on charges that he illegally manufactured a destructive device in a home where authorities said they found an index card with handwriting reading: "Under the full moon the small ones will know terror."
His lawyer, Amy Gallicchio, insisted that potential bomb ingredients including 5 pounds of potassium nitrate, 5 pounds of aluminum powder and 20 pounds of iron oxide were not assembled into a bomb and that the charges against her client should be thrown out.
"There is not a bomb," she said. "There is no plan, no plot, no sinister motive, no connection to subversive groups."
Cott responded: "There is no bomb. But what is alleged is that there are all the fixings of a bomb. Most evidence is almost always circumstantial and that doesn't diminish its force."
Toro resigned from the high school in Harlem after authorities said a 15-year-old student made a bomb threat in December. Last month, Toro was arrested on state charges alleging he took a girl to his home several times and raped her.
Authorities say the girl was also among students who were paid $50 an hour last fall to pull material for explosives from fireworks.
"It's not science project material," Haft said of items found in the apartment, which included seven boxes of fireworks, a magnesium strip that could serve as a fuse and ball bearings that could provide shrapnel in an explosion.
"If it were a legitimate science project, it would be done at school," the magistrate judge said.
Gallicchio had requested $100,000 bail, citing financially secure family members who were supporting Toro. She described her client as peaceful and law abiding with no history of violence.
Cott, though, said he was not comfortable letting someone who used students "to assist in this enterprise" to remain free.
"Dangerousness is not limited to cases where a bomb is in fact found," he said.

[Turkey] "Prosecutors looking for ways to contact whistleblower," Today's Zaman, November 3, 2009.
Prosecutors conducting a probe into a clandestine group known as Ergenekon are searching for a way to reach a military officer who mailed the original copy of a military plot against the ruling party to an İstanbul prosecutor. The plot is aimed at undermining the power of the Justice and Development Party (AK Party) and the faith-based Gülen movement.
[UK] Lakhani, Nina, "NHS is paying millions to gag whistleblowers," The Independent, November 1, 2009.
NHS whistleblowers are routinely gagged in order to cover up dangerous and even dishonest practices that could attract bad publicity and damage a hospital's reputation. Some local NHS bodies are spending millions of taxpayers' money to pay off and silence whistleblowers with "super gags" to stop them going public with patient safety incidents. Experts warn that patients' lives are being endangered by the use of intimidatory tactics to force out whistleblowers and deter other professionals from coming forward. Click here to read more.
As Richard Renner wrote in the previous post, Transparency International (TI) just released their "Global Corruption Report 2009: Corruption and the Private Sector (GCR)." In it, more than 75 experts examine a wide range of corruption issues around the world.
In this post, I would like to introduce several whistleblowing issues around the world based on the report.
Transparency International (TI) today released its 2009 Global Corruption Report: Corruption and the Private Sector (GCR). TI finds that one out of five business executives report that they received a solicitation for a bribe. An equal number report that they lost business due to a competitor paying a bribe.


Kayaks allow you to access remote parts of the water where traditional boats can't go. This helps you get access to different and often exotic kinds of fish.
Kayaks are a lot easier to maintain than regular boats. This helps you in two ways. Firstly, it saves you a fair amount of money, and secondly it helps you go fishing a lot more often than you would have otherwise.
One of the biggest problems associated with fishing is that it is often difficult to catch fish because the boat ends up scaring them and making them flee. Kayaks allow you to paddle a lot more gently, thus helping you sneak up on the fish.
Kayaks are extremely versatile. You can fish in a lot of different ways using them, no matter what your preferred technique is.
We are all becoming a lot more conscious of our impact on the environment. Kayaks are a lot better for the environment than motorboats, so you can fish without worrying about the negative impact that you are having on the ecosystem.
Now that you know why kayak fishing is so great, you need to choose a kayak.
What Kayak Should You Choose?
A lot of people say that these are the best kayaks that you could possibly go for. One of the reasons for this is the fact that they are a lot more stable than your standard kayaks. In fact, some of the kayaks in this category are so sturdy that you can even fish standing up if that is the sort of thing that you are used to.
There are a number of other advantages to this type of kayak too. First of all, they are quite spacious. You will not face any trouble storing your gear or anything like that, especially if you want to store it in a way that would make it easily accessible for you. You will also enjoy the benefits of added security. This is because of the fact that a hollow kayak is far less likely to sink. This is a great advantage to people that are wary of the potential dangers involved with the process of kayaking. Overall this type of kayak is the best fishing kayak under 600 that you can get.
After hearing about the myriad benefits of sit on top kayaks, you might be wondering why anyone would want to buy a sit inside model. Well, there are actually some benefits that this style of kayak has that are unique. They can benefit you in a few different scenarios where a sit on top kayak might not do very well.
For example, if you are fishing in areas where it is extremely cold, sit in kayaks can be a huge source of warmth. If most of your body is going to be inside the kayak, it will not be exposed to the elements. This can help you fish for much longer periods of time, something that is essential if you want to start fishing as much as you can so that you can take advantage of fishing season while it still lasts.
Sit in kayaks are also almost as stable as sit on top variants, since this version of a kayak sits low in the water which means that the overall body remains stable. However, sit on top kayaks win out in terms of deck space, which is why people still tend to prefer them.
One handed casting is the first skill that you should focus on. This is a skill that pretty much anyone that wants to take part in kayak fishing needs to learn. This will allow you to control your kayak even after you cast a line, which can really boost your overall success rate. Apart from casting, you should try and focus on one handed paddling as well. This is what will turn you into a master kayaker because of the fact that it will enable you to keep your kayak going even if you have a tasty prize on the line. It will also help you keep your cool in such situations.
If you want to maintain control of your kayak while you are casting a line, your feet can really help you in this regard. They can help you steer the kayak and maintain the speed to some extent, something that can really take your fishing skills to the next level.
A lot of kayakers think that having an anchor can cause problems because of the fact that it will make it difficult for you to get any real speed. However, anchors can be useful in a lot of situations and are safe to use as long as you avoid using them in strong currents.
The whole point of kayaking is that it allows you to fish in places that most other people won't think to fish. If the current is too strong, you could always just go closer to the shore. You will still have a fair amount of control over your Kayak, and this will also allow you to stay safe in dangerous situations.

BUFFALO, N.Y. – The University at Buffalo Coalesce: Center for Biological Arts will welcome seven artists from around the world to explore life's greatest questions through biological art residencies.
"Bioartists use the constitutive elements of biological life, such as DNA, proteins and cells to create artworks that explore life from interdisciplinary perspectives, in ways that are beyond the constraints of most disciplines," says Paul Vanouse, professor in the UB Department of Art in the College of Arts and Sciences and director of the Coalesce: Center for Biological Arts.
Coalesce is a collaboration between the UB Department of Art and the UB Genome, Environment and Microbiome (GEM) Community of Excellence. A major initiative of GEM, the program aims to expand public understanding of and participation in the life sciences.
"As a society, we are facing important challenges with respect to the use of our genetic, genomic and microbiome information for health care, lifestyle choices and commercial purposes. We all deserve a say and the Coalesce artists help to engage our communities in these vital discussions," says Jennifer Surtees, PhD, GEM co-director and associate professor in the Department of Biochemistry in the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences.
Dewey-Hagborg, PhD, returns to Coalesce for a second residency with her new project, T3511, an experimental documentary about the story of a biohacker who becomes obsessed with an anonymous donor whose saliva she purchases online.
The interactive film explores the emerging world of genomic testing, the commodification of human cells and DNA, and how relationships and privacy may change in the post-genetic future.
She will work with Heather Ochs-Balcom, PhD, associate professor in the Department of Epidemiology and Environmental Health in the School of Public Health and Health Professions; and Tao Liu, PhD, assistant professor in the Department of Biochemistry.
Dewey-Hagborg is a transdisciplinary artist and assistant professor at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. To learn more about her work, visit www.deweyhagborg.com.
Umwelt Microbiana is an interactive installation that seeks to understand the complex and fragile networks, communication and gene transfer between microbes in the air, water, earth and skin using samples collected locally.
They will work with Lauren Sassoubre, PhD, assistant professor in the Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering in the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences.
Lorusso is a cross-disciplinary artist, a research fellow at the UCLA Art|Sci Center and instructor at the Sci|Art NanoLab Summer Institute. To learn more about his work, visit www.micklorusso.net.
Ong is an assistant professor in the Department of Computational Arts at York University and a doctoral candidate at University of Washington Center for Digital Arts and Experimental Media. To learn more about his work, visit www.arkfrequencies.com.
DNA of Humans, DNA of Trees will examine the relationship between humans and the surrounding elements that they manipulate and depend on survival. Nuñez will gather and sequence DNA samples from her hair, saliva and skin and leaves, sap and bark from local trees to map comparisons between the two.
Nuñez is a visual artist with expertise in crafting with wood. She currently works in Buenos Aires, Argentina. To learn more about her work, visit www.merayonuniez.com.
Spill Your Guts will explore the human as an entity distinct from the Homo sapiens species in light of the discovery that nearly half of the human body is made of microbial cells, mainly bacteria and fungi.
The project will compare the microbiomes of the gut to those of other parts of the body, and present the differences as songs using electrophoresis gel slabs as punch cards for a music box.
Isitan is a biological artist and graduate student studying actual arts practice at Sherbrooke University. She is represented by both the SciArt Center and Galerie uNo. To learn more about her work, visit www.gunesisitan.com.
Open Source Gendercodes is a project focused on developing an open source platform for the production of growth hormones. Recognizing the history of non-consensual experimentation and the harvesting of organs and bodily fluids from the underrepresented, the project seeks to conduct a gender political power grab to return bio-power to the public.
Hammond is a new media artist and lab manager at the Baltimore Underground Science Space. To learn more about their work, visit www.ryanhammond.us.
Fermented Freedom: Cultures of Preservation will collaborate will local kombucha brewers to hold fermentation workshops and create a Biofilm Hosting Program, a kombucha biofilm exchange and archive.
