More about Gap:
Founded in 1969 by Donald and Doris Fisher, American GAP become one of the most popular and recognizable brands and clothes retailers in the entire world. With revenue counted in billions, hundreds of thousands employees and almost 5,000 stores in 90 countries around the world, GAP is most certainly on the very top of clothing industry. Trendy designs, sartorially conscious products and qualified customer service has lead them to great success, which enabled them to work on their own brands. Today, GAP operates under world-famous brands such as Old Navy, Banana Republic and Athleta. There are number of GAP Stores which include GapKids and babyGap with clothes for children and infants as well as Gapmaternity for pregnant women and GapBody with beauty products and lingerie. GAP undertakes a modern take on classic styles, which leads to comfortable and trendy wear for everyone no matter your age and style. This modernity doesn't stop with clothes - store works on numerous ways to make shopping easier. Right now, they are working on a new app that basically works like a virtual dressing room. With few simple touches, you can select your body type and dress it up in clothes available at Gap. You will see how the clothes will look like when you try them on, so you won't have to send anything back because it doesn't fit. Welcome to the 21st century!
Gap online store allows you to browse the products from every Gap operated brand in one place. Eccentric tourist-oriented clothes presented as hand-drawn catalogue from Banana Republic, collection of business clothes with styles that never go out of fashion, or latest fitness apparel from Athleta - it's all there under one GAP signboard. Easily switch between brands, add something that suits you to your cart and later on, pay for everything at once with one shipment fee.
There are various promotions and rewards programs available at Gap. One of them gives you points for every purchase that you make with store credit cards like GapCard or GapVisa. What is unusual is the fact that you gather those points not only in Gap store. Yes, you get more at Gap, because for every dollar that you spend, you get 5 reward points, but rewards program works also elsewhere, so every dollar that you spend with your Gap store branded Visa card gets you 1 points for every dollar spent. 1,000 points amounts to $10 reward card that you can use during checkout at one of the gap stores all over the world or in their online shop.
There are also frequent promotions available online and at Gap stores. Usually they fall into two categories: coded promotions, which use promo codes that you enter during checkout in order to get free shipping, discount or some other perks; other type are category promotions, where the store lowers the prices of items that fall into a specific category like adult's jeans for limited period of time, usually because of some occasion like Chinese New Year or other festivals.
Gap is also the perfect place to shop for gifts. They offer traditional gift cards that look like a credit card and modern virtual cards that can be printed out or send as an email. But the store encourages you to buy choose something and send is as a gift. To do so, you don't have to order it to your address and pack it. Gap will do it for you and send it directly to the recipient. With a small extra fee, the store will wrap your order in nice gift wrap and a ribbon. You can add a card with a message and send it directly to your friends and family. Or, if you prefer to pack it on your own, for no extra charge, the store can add complimentary gift box that you can assemble yourself.
If you love shopping, try other shops that you might like: Zalora, Stylebop and Tactical Asia.

Phone: 513-680-0462
Material Fees: $25
Monthly Tuition: $25
Is the Bible really one big story? Are there glimpses of Jesus in the Old Testament? How can we learn more about who God is from people who lived so long ago? Holy History Illustrated JUNIOR is the "big picture" – a foundational Bible course for the upper elementary ages. It helps students see how the whole bible fits together. This class will teach the major concepts, events, and characters of each book of the Old Testament through reading, listening, drawing and hand motions. An overview of each book is illustrated on a single page. By the time the class is finished, students will have both an illustration on a page and an imprint on their minds. *Holy History Jr. bridges the gap between the Bible 4 Kids class and the older Holy History Illustrated class. * It is a less in-depth study than the older Holy History, but follows the same format. This class is creative, fun, memorable way to study the Bible!

The Client
Large airport
The Challenge
Our client – a large airport with operating under High Intensity Runway Operations on a single runway – wished to investigate the feasibility of dual runway operations prior to making any formal planning or implementation decisions. Critical to the feasibility of dual runway operations was the safety case for dual runway operations.
The airport needed a consultancy with experience in HIRO, airport masterplanning and delivering safety cases.
Our Approach
Working with the airport owners, operators and ANS providers, Think applied a high level process based on CAP760 (Guidance on the Conduct of Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment and the Production of Safety Cases: For Aerodrome Operators and Air Traffic Service Providers). At the initial stage there were several concept options which have been brainstormed but not yet subjected to a hazard analysis using operational stakeholders. Our team therefore began with identification of an operating method and modelling assumptions to define the basis for operational concept development, followed by refining the operational concept including airspace, ATC, airfield and technology requirements and constraints.
Following from this an initial safety argument and outline safety case was prepared using hazard identification and analysis as described in CAP760 to provide confidence that mitigations exist for all identified hazards. Finally, a validation strategy to address ongoing validation needs based on the concept development and safety analysis threads was delivered to further refine the concept and ensure it is fit for purpose.
The approach was anchored around a series of workshops with input from many operational and airfield stakeholders as well as from other airport masterplan workstreams.
The Outcome
The Initial Safety Case was delivered and, following consultation with all stakeholders including the civil aviation authority, a mature Safety Case is being prepared by Think which should ultimately lead to the airport obtaining approval for construction activities leading towards a dual runway operation.

text: When Mariam, a young Tunisian woman, is raped by police officers after leaving a party, she is propelled into a harrowing night in which she must fight for her rights even though judicial power lies on the side of her tormentors. Employing impressive cinematic techniques and anchored by a tour-de-force performance from newcomer Mariam Al Ferjani, Kaouther Ben Hania's BEAUTY AND THE DOGS tells an urgent, unapologetic, and important story head-on. A rare, startling film that is a striking critique on a repressive society and a forcefully feminist rallying cry.

After suffering intense humiliation at the hands of her almost-boyfriend and being blindsided by the reappearance of her estranged father, Ally Ryan is relieved to escape to the Jersey Shore. The farther away from Jake, the better. And if blowing off steam means getting cozy with Cooper, a Jersey local, that's just fine with Ally. Meanwhile, Jake is stuck in Orchard Hill, grounded for the summer due to bad grades and working at the town coffee shop—where Ally's father is the new manager. Faced with a daily reminder of the girl he did wrong, will Jake rally and change his ways? Or will he give up the chase when he sees Ally with her new fling and realizes she's moved on? It's going to be a summer to remember….
My Review:
Ah, the complications in this book! I mean, that's pretty much the best reason to read this book, the back and forth, very mixed, dramatized relations between all these kids, mostly romantic, and yeah, how they all fit in together!
Yeah, Jake was a bit of an ass in the first, the on and off, hot and cold. And that wasn't all his fault, he was influenced by his friends and his family, but Ally didn't deserve that. It's not her fault that her dad lost the money. But she's getting punished, none the less.
Having a summer book in this series is really great, because I mean, it's in school where she has to hang out with her old friends, and now in the summer, she can relax, and maybe move on. But I didn't really like Cooper too much. And Jake wasn't as bad here!
The whole thing with Jake and Ally's Dad are working together? That idea was strange and first, but it allowed them to work together, talk together, and learn about each other, which is a good thing, because it helps her dad know why Ally likes him, and for Jake to understand Ally a bit better!
I really enjoyed this book a lot, and now I can't wait for the 3rd and final book!

Biological Magnetic Resonance Data BankA Repository for Data from NMR Spectroscopy on Proteins, Peptides, Nucleic Acids, and other Biomolecules
|Member of
To deposit large data sets, for example time-domain data, you can use the File Transfer Protocol (FTP). FTP is a venerable, reliable method for transfering large amounts of data across networks. Since a web browser tends to limit the size of the files that can be transfered, we suggest that you do not use your browser to transfer time-domain data sets. There are software packages for using FTP, but if you are using a Windows, UNIX, Linux, or Mac OSX computer, FTP is a built in function of its command line interface.
First, please collate your files into one file using tar, the unix archiving software. After your data has been collated, it should also be compressed, preferably with gzip or bzip2. On Windows, winzip will both collate your files and compress the archive.If you have a BMRB accession number, please include it in the filename, e.g. bmr1234td.tar.gz, otherwise please name your file so that it is obvious it belongs to your deposition.
If you are using the command line interface, the next thing you need to do is navigate to the directory that contains the information you want to upload. Use the command cd on UNIX and UNIX-like operating systms, and use the command CHDIR in Windows CMD shell. If you are not familiar with this, someone in your group probably is.
Next, connect to the BMRB FTP server by typing:
system prompt$ ftp deposit.bmrb.wisc.edu
You should get a message that says
Connected to deposit.bmrb.wisc.edufollowed by some other information (number of users allowed, local time, etc.)
At the name prompt, enter anonymous and press Enter.
Name (deposit.bmrb.wisc.edu:your login): anonymous
You should get a message that says the login was ok. If the server request an email address or a password, enter your email address.
You should now see an 'ftp' prompt.
Set ftp to binary mode by typing binary
FTP navigation works the same way as navigation on UNIX. Use the command cd (change directory) to move among directories. Typing pwd will tell you what directory you are currently in. (For a list of commands, type help.)
Navigate to the proper directory by typing, 'cd incoming/data_submission'.
ftp>cd incoming/data_submission
Upload your data. Use the put command to upload your file:
ftp>put bmr1234td.tar.gz
You're done! Type quit, and you are no longer using FTP.
If you have not been able to upload your data following the above steps, contact email@example.com.
You will not be able to look at the contents of the directory. After you upload your file, the directory will still appear to be empty if you examine it. This is not a bug and it does not indicate that your upload failed. It is a deliberate security measure so that nobody can see what files you are uploading. If the upload gave you no errors, then that does mean BMRB has received the file even though you will not see it in the directory.
Known problems:
Some users reported problems creating files over 2GB in size.
Most archiver programs can create "multi-volume" archives with particular volume size. Set volume size to less than 2GB (2,000,000 bytes should work). With GNU tar on unix/linux:
tar -M -L 2000000 -cf bmr1234td.tar(if/when prompted for the next volume, type in "
n bmr1234td1.tar", then "
n bmr1234td2.tar", etc.)
For other software, follow instructions that accompany it.
If you are uploading multiple files, use mput command instead of put:
ftp>mput bmr1234td.tar.gz bmr1234td1.tar.gz bmr1234td2.tar.gz

On 30 December 2011, exercising its constitutional jurisdiction, the Supreme Court of Pakistan constituted a Commission for investigating the matter of Mr Haqqani's authorship of a memo which was addressed to the Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Mike Mullen. The memo was delivered to the Admiral through General (Retired) James Logan Jones (former US National Security Advisor).
The Commission reported back to the Supreme Court in relation to Mr Haqqani who, in the wake of the memo scandal, resigned as Pakistan's Ambassador to the US on 22 November 2011. The following paragraphs of the Commission's report were published in the Supreme Court's Order
Final Conclusion and Findings:
(1) The Hon'ble Supreme Court appointed this Commission to probe, "to ascertain the origin, authenticity and purpose of creating / drafting of Memo for delivering it to Chairman of the Us Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Mike Mullen."
(2) It has been incontrovertibly established that the Memorandum was authentic and Mr. Haqqani was the originator and architect of the Memorandum. Mr. Haqqani Sought American Help; he also wanted to create a niche for himself making himself forever indispensable to the Americans. He lost sight of the fact that he is a Pakistani Citizen and Pakistan's Ambassador to the United States of America, and therefore his loyalty could only be to Pakistan.
(3) Mr. Haqqani's by offering his services as part of a proposed 'national security team' to a foreign government, voicing the 'great fears' that 'Pakistan's nuclear assets are now legitimate targets' and thus seeking to bring 'Pakistan's nuclear assets under a more verifiable, transparent regime,' stating that ISI maintains 'relations to the Taliban' and offering to 'eliminate Section S of the ISI and to help ' pigeon – hole the forces lined up against your interests' created fissures in the body politic and were acts of disloyalty to Pakistan, that contravened the Constitution of Pakistan.
(4) The purpose of the Memorandum was to show that the civilian government was friends of America, but needed to be strengthened to prevail upon the army and the intelligence agencies, and to be able to do so American help was required to set up a civilian national security team, to be headed by Mr. Haqqani.
(5) There can be no two views that terrorism must be contested, terrorists fought, nuclear proliferation opposed, civilians (and not the military) determine foreign policy and the ship of State guided by civilian hands at the helm; however, what is not acceptable is for Pakistan's Ambassador to beseech a foreign government to with impunity meddle in and run our affairs.
(6) We may observe that Mr. Haqqani has chosen not to live in Pakistan, has been working in USA, where he appeared to have made his life, held no property or asset in Pakistan, held no money (save a paltry amount ) in a Pakistani bank, but despite having no obvious ties to Pakistan was appointed to the extremely sensitive position of Pakistan's Ambassador to the USA, and in addition to being paid a salary and accompanying emoluments was handed a largesse of over an amount of two million dollars a year.
Mr Haqqani was allowed to exit Pakistan with the leave of the Supreme Court and is now expected to return to Pakistan at the agreed time for appearance which, according to the Court, was four days' time. Under the Order, the case has been adjourned for two weeks' time.
Opponents of Pakistan's free judiciary would consider the text of the order to be siding with the military. But it is clear that Mr Haqqani was acting outside of his mission, to represent Pakistan as a sovereign nation, as Ambassador in America. The battle between the judiciary and government will continue and is an interesting contest to observe.
It is pretty disgraceful how people with no real connection to Pakistan can serve in high offices of the state. The Supreme Court, Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry CJ presiding, explained at paragraph 7 of the Order that
Prima facie it seems that Mr. Hussain Haqqani, former Ambassador of Pakistan in USA has to answer about the findings so recorded by the Commission. He was allowed to leave the country with the commitment vide order 30.1.2012 that whenever the Court requires, he will appear in person within a period of four days, therefore, we direct his presence on the next date of hearing, which shall be intimated by the office according to the rules.
In the meantime, the people of Pakistan, who suffer the multiple problems of inflation (increasing petrol and food prices) and unemployment will probably just be happy to have some water and electricity to get through the hot summer.
The Court's Order is available below

Monthly Update – April
April is here, no foolin!
What a busy month March has been. First off I caught up with what I didn't get finished in February, so I now have one level that's playable in Unity with all the puzzles and whatnot. It's all built with Unity primitives at the moment, no proper art but it is playable and I've had someone other than me test it for the first time (thanks Jeff!).
Next I spent some time researching and putting together some guidelines for the art style. There are so many different directions I could go with this from photo real to cell-shaded/hand painted. I wanted to get that defined and have an image in my mind for what the game will look like, the tone and setting, what the level of technology within the world itself would be etc. so that I could better decide when I'm designing levels if something fits within the overall style of the game or not.
Then I took up my Wacom pen and made a start on a logo/illustration to give an identity to the game. This might seem a bit premature, but I'm an artist at heart and I need to have some kind of image that helps to tie everything else together. 50+ iterations later I've got a text-only version done and a couple of illustrated versions that are close to being finished. All the letters of the title are hand drawn, and of course it's a really long title so that took quite a while. I'm definitely going to choose a very short name for my next game!
Next up I picked one small section from an early level in the game and modeled that up in 3D. Defining the level of geometry detail vs texture detail is quite important so that everything remains consistent and also that I don't end up making too much or too little detail in the environment and props. The scene is modeled and unwrapped and I've started on the first bit of texturing so that's progressing well. I would have been a lot further along with the 3D work if not for the nightmare scenario of my PC dieing mid-month! To cut a very long story short, it turns out my graphics card has (probably) always been faulty but it didn't show up until I upgraded the motherboard this month. So I had a full week of not having a graphics card in my machine at all and relying on the GFX chip on the motherboard! So several days lost there, but the good news is I have an awesome new graphics card now and everything is running very smoothly 🙂
So what's next? First of all I need to finish up texturing my 3D scene and get that looking nice in Unity. Then I think it's back to working on my character controller and interaction with objects and the environment. Having built a complete level I can see where I need to make some improvements with that. I'd also like to add some additional options for environmental interactions with the world and using physics, such as being able to push the character with wind, climbing/swinging on a rope, swimming, that kind of thing. These will all give me more options for creating puzzles in the world and make the levels more interesting and interactive. So another busy month ahead!
And since you made it all the way to the end of this long post, here is a mini preview of the logo I've been working on…
See you next month 🙂

Growing up, I never had a pet aside from my brother's various mice and gerbils, but I don't count them because A) they weren't mine and B) they didn't do much except sleep all day and run in their squeaky wheel all night (and, no, the 'squeaky wheel getting the grease' adage is not lost on me and, yes, my brother did try to 'grease' it but it never worked very well.) I'm pretty sure we weren't allowed to have a cat or dog not because, as we were told, we wouldn't take care of it but because my father would not have survived the unpredictability of an animal roaming free in the house. He's extraordinarily structured ("I'm a creature of habit, ok?!") so if a box of cereal was put back in the cabinet facing the wrong way, we all heard about it. In hindsight, I'm sure we were much better off not having a pet because it would have just given him more fuel to scream about nothing. ("Jesus H.P.Q. Christ, who left a Goddamned hairball on the living room floor?!?!?" "That was Mittens, dad. Mittens left it there.")
As soon as possible, I got a dog. When my husband and I were first married, we lived in a couple of apartments that didn't allow pets, but as soon as we were able, we adopted a dog and named him Owen. Owen was awesome, but was also an unbelievable pain in the ass. Here, in no particular order, is a list of some of the things he ate that he shouldn't have:
- Reese's Peanut Butter cups — On Halloween, just two months after we adopted him, we spent the night at the animal hospital while they put morphine drops in Owen's eyes trying to make him puke up the candy we thought we had put far out of his reach. If he didn't get it out of his stomach on his own, they would have to perform surgery (for about $2000) or he was in danger of his stomach flipping. Lucky fur us, he finally puked.
- a four pound bucket of mini Swedish fish — For Christmas one year, my husband's stepmother gave my husband a huge container of Swedish fish (because Swedish fish are awesome and so is my husband's stepmother) that Owen ate. He ate it all. The whole container. Initially, my husband was more upset about the Swedish fish being gone until Owen started throwing it up and then re-eating the pile of Swedish fish throw up because dogs are disgusting creatures of filth. Then the focus was on getting Owen outside to puke, get him back inside so he couldn't eat the puke, and wash the quickly freezing candy puke off the bricks of the patio with large pans filled with hot water. Merry Christmas!!
- our basement door — Owen was never able to be kennel trained so when we moved with him from our condo to our house, we determined that he'd stay in the basement when we had to leave him alone in the house. The first time we tried this, we went out for an hour or two and came home to his head sticking through what looked like a large, mouse-hole-shaped hole in the basement door (like when cartoon mice live in the upside down "U" in the baseboard – it looked just like that.)
- sheet metal used to cover the hole chewed through our basement door — Not to be outwitted by a dog and determined to make the basement his lair, we fastened sheet metal over the bottom half of the door to cover the hole he had chewed. Didn't work and we gave up on our doggie basement dreams.
- diaper cream — He ate the whole tube. The vet gave him something with charcoal in it to absorb any poisons he may have ingested, but we were never able to remove the charcoal puke stains from our wall-to-wall carpet.
- five pounds of raw steak — Apparently our refrigerator door was not 100% closed when Owen got into it and ate a family-sized package of steak tips. As my husband left to buy more steak to grill for our guests who were on their way to our house, Owen proceeded to crap all five pounds of the raw steak into a massive runny pile on the living room floor. I vividly remember using excessive amounts of paper towel while gagging the entire time I cleaned it up.
There are many more Owen stories to share, but I'll have to save them for another post. And I'm aware of how easy it is to assume that we were the worst dog owners in the universe to let him get into all these things, but if you ever saw the way we rearranged our house every time we left him alone in an attempt to keep him from getting into the trash, having access to any food (especially chocolate), destroying furniture, etc. you'd know that he most definitely wasn't neglected. And we miss him. (Even the annoying parts of him.)

Selenium-based Lewis Acids
Chalcogen Bonding Utilized for Homogenous Catalysis

In the field of homogeneous catalysis, an extensive number of transition metal-based catalysts are known. Though highly potent, they have critical drawbacks, like high costs or toxicity. Thus, the application of metal-free catalysts got in the focus of research during the last years.
Transition metal complexes enable a variety of transformations like carbon-carbon bond formations, functional group interconversions, or the activation of small molecules [1]. Classical examples of such complexes for cross coupling reactions are Pd(PPh3)4 or Pd(Cl)2(PPh3)2 [1-2]. Other metal centers like ruthenium are established in well-known catalysts for metathesis reactions [3]. In all these cases, the reaction mechanism involves the formation of covalent bonds between the substrate and the catalyst. Even though these catalysts are quite potent, they are also quite expensive (due to the use of precious metals) and/or toxic (e. g. if chromium or nickel is required).
At this point, the development of metal-free catalysts gains growing attention [4,5]. Such catalysts make use of non-covalent interactions of electrophilic hydrogen- or halogen-substituents with a (partially) negatively charged functional group or molecule [4a,6]. In case of halogens, their function as Lewis acids may seem counterintuitive at first. A closer inspection of the electronic distribution of such substituents reveals, though, that the electron distribution is anisotropic and thus there are also positively polarized areas on the surface of the halogens. One disadvantage of both hydrogen and halogen bond donors is the fact that they are monovalent, which means that a modification of the active center – the hydrogen or halogen substituent – is not directly possible. Rather, every optimization or modification must be performed at the backbone structure of the catalyst, which may be somewhat far from the interaction with the substrate.
Chelating Ligands with Chalcogen Bond Donors
This problem can be avoided when substituents from the sixth main group (chalcogens, Ch) such as sulphur, selenium or tellurium are used as active centers.
These are able to form a very similar interaction to halogen or hydrogen bonding, accordingly called "chalcogen bonding" (ChB). In analogy to the other mentioned interactions, the corresponding Lewis acids are called "chalcogen bond donors". Due to the divalency of chalcogens, there is now a second substituent on the chalcogen atom, which is perpendicular to the backbone-Ch bond. This constitution allows structural modifications much closer to the center of complex formation. Additionally, this feature bears a high potential for organocatalysts based on the sixth main group: starting from one precursor compound, a larger batch of different ChB donors can be synthesized. Thus, a wide range of catalysts with different electronic and steric properties may be screened in a short period of time.
First applications of chalcogen bonding in solution were reported by Beer, Taylor and Matile et al. using different types of ChB donors for anion recognition [7-9]. Moreover, applications in solid state chemistry, such as the synthesis of nanostructures, make use of inter- and intramolecular chalcogen bonding. However, there is only one example applying chalcogen bonding in homogeneous catalysis, and it is based on sulfur: recently, Matile et al. published the reduction of quinoline derivatives with dithienothiophene-based compounds [10]. Overall, chalcogen bonding has been very sparsely used for applications in solution despite its advantages over halogen bonding.
Why Selenium?
The design of new cationic selenium-based chalcogen bond donors offers two advantages in comparison to sulphur and tellurium: first, selenium is more polarisable than sulfur, leading to a stronger interaction; second, organoselenium compounds are more stable than organotellurium compounds under standard conditions and do not require inert gas atmosphere. A cationic core structure of the chalcogen bond donor is important to establish a strong interaction with the substrate, as a suitable polarization of the backbone-Ch bond is required. More precisely, the activator candidates were based on 2-chalcogenated benzimidazolium moieties. This type of core structure had already successfully been used in halogen bond catalysis [11]. A variety of different mono- and bidentate ChB donors was synthesized; selected compounds are shown in figure 1.
Compounds syn-1 and anti-1 carry an additional trifluoromethyl group in 2-position on the central benzene ring which retains a fixed syn- and anti-configuration of the chalcogen bond donor through preventing rotation of the benzimidazolium substituent. Moreover, it enables monitoring the reaction behavior of the catalyst via 19F NMR spectroscopy. Additionally, the trifluoromethyl group increases the strength of the ChB donor through its electron withdrawing properties and enhances the solubility of the catalyst.
Carbon-Bromine Bond Cleavage
As a simple benchmark reaction for potential chalcogen bonding based activators, the cleavage of a carbon bromine bond in a Ritter-type reaction was chosen, which was already successfully applied with halogen bonding (fig. 2) [12]. This reaction features several advantages which make it a valuable benchmark reaction for this purpose: it is unreactive in the presence of acid traces, it can be simply monitored by 1H NMR spectroscopy, and it has no substantial background reactivity at room temperature. Therefore, activation by the tested ChB donors can be unambiguously assigned to chalcogen bonding, if possible other interactions, like anion-π and hydrogen bonding, had been ruled out by appropriate comparison experiments.
First kinetic experiments displayed a 30-fold rate acceleration for the reaction with syn-1 in contrast to the blank reaction. A comparison of chalcogen bond donor syn-1 and its halogenated analogue 3 displayed a three times higher acceleration by the former. Based on that promising data, experiments with several activating agents were performed for which only the most interesting results are presented here. For syn-1, NMR yields of 64% and for anti-1, yields of 45% of compound 6 were determined. Against this, the appropriate halogen bond donor 3 yielded only 35% of compound 6. The corresponding selenium urea 4, as well as the hydrogen bond analogue 2, were virtually inactive. Therefore, the activation of compound 5 can be ascribed to chalcogen bonding because both, hydrogen bonding and weak anion-π interactions can be excluded through these reference experiments. Interestingly, the syn atropisomer is not markedly more active than its anti-analogue, although DFT calculations gave evidence that syn-1 may bind in a bidentate fashion. In contrast to that, anti-1 behaves like a twofold monodentate chalcogen bond donor, as confirmed through single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis (fig. 2). It thus seems that syn-1 does not bind in a clean bidentate fashion to bromide, even though the syn variant is more active than the anti one.
In summary, the first application of selenium based chalcogen bond donors as intermolecular Lewis acids in organic synthesis was presented using a carbon-bromine bond cleavage benchmark reaction. It was shown that chalcogen bond donors are superior to halogenated compounds from the same period, and that a locked syn configuration enhances the activity of these potentially bidentate compounds.

November 30, 2016. TWi Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("TWi", Stock Ticker: 4180.TT) today announced that its Board of Directors resolved to dispose its 65.58% equity investment at Visum Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd ("Visum") in China. The total consideration is RMB 205 million, and the estimated gains from the disposal are to be approximately RMB 80 million. Upon the completion of the deal, Visum will remain to be TWi's strategic partner for the manufacturing of TWi-011, the US ANDA filing submitted by TWi in the middle of 2014, for the US market.
There are two elements for this deal – one is equity transaction and the other is the deduction of future profit-sharing for TWi-011. The buyers are Teco Investment Partnership and the management team of Visum at a cost of RMD 197 million for the equity transaction while Visum agrees to pay TWi additional RMB 8 million, upon the completion of the aforesaid equity transaction, in connection with the agreement signed between TWi and Visum in June, 2014 for the future profit-sharing of TWi-011 once launched in the US market. The portion of RMB 8 million to be paid by Visum will be deducted from the share of profits belonged to Visum after TWi-011 officially launches in the US market in the future.
"We are glad and honored to have the opportunity working with Visum," says Dr. Chih-Ming, Chen, CEO and Chairman of TWi, "our mutual cooperation not only successfully made the ANDA submission of TWi-011 to US FDA in the middle of 2014 but also had the manufacturing site in Hainan, China, passed US FDA inspection in early 2016 and becomes a cGMP-compliant plant certified by US FDA. However, considering the changes in policies and competition landscape in China, both parties agreed that a strategic investor who has more resources in overall value chain of pharmaceutical industry would help Visum to speed up realizing R&D capabilities and core value of the company. Going forward, we will keep working closely with Visum to make sure a successful launch of TWi-011 in the US market. On top of that, we will also continue to look for more potential opportunities of strategic cooperation that maximizes the shareholders' value."

My favorite part of my cosmetology experience has been meeting so many different and special people. We fondly call Xenon "boot camp for clients" because you get to handle so many diverse situations and clients. I have met so many amazing people through Xenon, some I'll never forget.
In dealing with so many people with such different backgrounds, stories and walks of life I've learned a lot about myself as well. Working with people who may be having tough times makes me the stylist and someone who is there to listen. I'm more aware of my own blessings and struggles that I face. I'm thankful for every experience I've had with Xenon clients. They've all taught me something and for that I am so grateful.

UpRight DW Span Scaffold
July 20, 2012 Scaffold News
Reaching high places is always a difficult obstacle for home maintenance or home renovation projects. For example, painting the siding near the top of a house, or the top of an interior wall in a home with high ceilings, requires a means of reaching the higher areas without jumping. Ladders are one possibility, but they tend to be inefficient. Ladders have limited foot space, allowing work to be done on only a small area at a time. This is followed by climbing down, moving the ladder, and climbing back up, which must be done several times. Leaning from a ladder to reach a little further sideways can be scary and dangerous.
An UpRight Scaffold solution can be a better option for such situations. UpRight Scaffolding Systems make it easy to reach those high places, especially for those of us who do not play in the NBA. An UpRight Aluminum Scaffold is safer than a ladder because it offers a much larger range of movement, has a broader base for stability, and does not require workers to lean away from the structure. UpRight Scaffolding Systems have an efficiency bonus over ladders as well. Their width allows for a worker to cover a much wider area before having to climb down and move the structure.
An Upright Scaffold can also make it easy to work with large or heavy objects such as sheets of drywall. Trying to climb a ladder with a sheet of drywall is virtually impossible. Drywall is heavy and carrying it up a ladder can be awkward, but climbing an UpRight Aluminum Scaffold and then pulling the drywall up is easy and carries little risk of falling. This is important for tasks such as painting or installing drywall on a ceiling. Workers using a scaffold can easily put the drywall in place, tape the seams, and paint the surface.
One type of scaffold is the UpRight DW Span Scaffold. DW stands for doublewide, indicating a width of just over 50 inches as opposed to the standard span of about 26 inches. Both systems are designed to be flexible, mobile, and convenient. The UpRight DW Span Scaffold and its cousins can be built to varying heights depending on what is needed for a specific project. It is also made to be easily portable. A single worker can move the system by carrying the platform and rolling the base.
The UpRight DW Span Scaffold is not limited to construction projects. It can be used anywhere a person needs to reach a high, wide area. This could include cleaning the gutters, hanging curtains, trimming tall trees or bushes, or rescuing a kitten from a tree.
The Upright DW Span Scaffold works by placing a stable platform on a strong but light and easily moveable base. The sides double as vertical ladders, allowing workers to climb up and down quickly. Although this model is made so that it can be used by one person, the additional width allows two workers to comfortably fit side by side.
Upright Aluminum Scaffolds is a premier aluminum scaffold provider. We Customize. For more info call, (888) 600-5414

The Moon: Enceladus of Saturn
Research and Report on the Current State of Knowledge of:
Certain Small Bodies in the Solar System
Type of object- Moon (Saturn)
Size- Enceladus has a mean diameter of 314 miles, one-seventh the diameter of our Moon. In diameter Enceladus is small enough to fit within the length of the island of Great Britain. It could also fit comfortably within the states of Arizona or Colorado, although as a spherical object its surface area is much greater, just over 310,000 miles2, about 15% larger than Texas. Picture to scale^ Location- Enceladus is one of the major inner satellites of Saturn. It is the fourteenth satellite when ordered by distance from Saturn Composition- Enceladus has a density of 1.61 g/cm³ this density is higher than Saturn's other mid-sized icy satellites, indicating that Enceladus contains a greater percentage of silicates and iron. With additional material besides water ice, Enceladus' interior may have experienced comparatively more heating from the decay of radioactive elements. Appearance- Enceladus reflects almost 100 percent of the sunlight that strikes it. Parts of Enceladus show craters no larger than 35 km in diameter. Other areas show regions with no craters, indicating major resurfacing events in the geologically recent past. There are fissures, plains, corrugated terrain and other crustal deformations. Up close picture of Enceladus' surface Temperature- Enceladus has a surface temperature of -330 Fahrenheit.
History-Enceladus was discovered by Fredrick William Herschel on August 28, 1789, during the first use of his new 1.2 m telescope, then the largest in the world. Volcanism- In 2005 the Cassini spacecraft performed several close flybys of Enceladus, revealing the moon's surface and environment in greater detail. In particular, the probe discovered a water-rich plume venting from the moon's South Polar Region. This discovery, along with the presence of escaping internal...

Madagascar Pochard Duck
In late 2006, it was announced that the Madagascar pochard, last seen in 1991 and feared extinct, had been rediscovered by biologists from The Peregrine Fund. Durrell staff from Madagascar and Jersey were invited to make a rapid assessment of the tiny population and identify immediate threats.
Madagascar Pochard Ducks are diving birds that probably feed on aquatic plants and invertebrates in shallow water. Males have a distinctive white iris.
Male – The male Madagascar Pochard duck has a dark brown head and neck, white eyes, a grey beak, chestnut-brown mottled flanks, blackish-brown upper-parts and rump, white belly and under-tail coverts, white flight feathers with black tips and dark outer primary feathers, and grey legs and feet.
Female – The female has a duller brown plumage and does not have a white eye.
Eclipse – The male in eclipse plumage is similar to the female but retains the white eyes.
Size: – Typical Adult is 18-22 inches.
Food: – Invertebrates, aquatic plants and seeds.
Habitat: – Shallow freshwater lakes, marshes, and open water. It is endemic to Madagascar and found in the Lake Alaotra basin in the northern central plateau.
Breeding Season: – October to January.
Eggs: – 6-9 (buff-grey color).
Notes: – The Madagascar Pochard duck is an extremely rare medium size diving duck which is only found in Madagascar. Before 2006 it was believed to be extinct and it is now believed there are only about 20 individuals remaining. They were relatively common in the 1920s-1930s but declined rapidly in the 1940s-1950s after the introduction of numerous fish species. There are now plans to try and protect these ducks and their habitat.
The different types of wild ducks can be grouped into puddle, aka "dabbling" and diving ducks. The dabblers mostly feed in smaller bodies of shallow water or along shorelines, where they are able to tip their bodies forward to reach their food on the bottom. There are divers who feed in deeper water where they dive and pursue their quarry. Some of these birds, the Harlequin Duck for example, actually dives to the bottom of fast-flowing waters and feeds on life forms attached to rocks.

I've been a vet tech for nearly 10 years now and never knew why people were always so against bullies. In my entire career I've never had a negative experience with a bully breed. I got my first Jeep my sophomore year of high school and my first bully breed (AST) from a shelter shortly before he was due to die. The Jeep is known as Sarge and the fur baby is Moonshine.
My PITTIES!
Moonshine was found as a stray, no pun intended, sick as a dog. He was not getting better in the shelter and after a few months he was due to die because of the lack of space and finances through the shelter. I spotted his mug on Facebook and fell in love. We visited him shortly after and took him home same day. He was sick for over 5 months and we couldn't find the origin of his illness. 6 months after recovering he had another bout of illnesses. Again, with no diagnosis, we determined that he just has a weak immune system or an auto immune disease. With preventative nutrition and support, he healed up and is on the road to obtain his CGC and become a prime member of society.
My jEEPS!
Tote my boy around to do whatever he wants to do: dogpark, lake, camping, beach, the whole 9.
