Triplet state properties of N-mTEG[60]fulleropyrrolidine mono and bisadduct derivatives by Konstantinos Kordatos; Tatiana Da Ros; Maurizio Prato; Sydney Leach; Edward J. Land; René V. Bensasson (221-228).
Laser flash photolysis and pulse radiolysis techniques were used to determine triplet state properties of N-mTEG[60]fulleropyrrolidine mono and bisadduct derivatives (FP) (mTEG=CH2CH2OCH2CH2OCH2CH2OCH3) in benzene. These properties include the triplet absorption spectra between 550 and 900 nm, quantum yields of triplet photosensitized singlet oxygen production (Φ Δ ) and triplet molar absorption coefficients (ε T) with the assumption that the quantum yield of triplet formation (Φ T) is equal to Φ Δ . Our results demonstrate that the triplet properties depend on the number of addends and the addition pattern.
Effects of ambient pressure on silicon nanowire growth by X.H. Fan; L. Xu; C.P. Li; Y.F. Zheng; C.S. Lee; S.T. Lee (229-232).
Growth of silicon nanowires (SiNWs) by thermal evaporation of SiO in a closed system was studied. The yield of SiNWs obtained in the present closed system was much higher than that from the previous open systems. As the ambient pressure increased, the yield of SiNWs decreased and the diameter of the SiNWs increased, but the surface of the SiNWs was roughened. Transmission electron microscopic examination showed that the originally smooth surface of SiNWs was roughened by the formation of Si nano-particles. The implication of these results on the growth mechanism of the SiNWs is discussed.
Azafullerene C59N, a stable free radical substituent in crystalline C60 by Ferenc Fülöp; Antal Rockenbauer; Ferenc Simon; Sándor Pekker; László Korecz; Slaven Garaj; András Jánossy (233-237).
Solid solutions of C59N azafullerene in C60 with concentrations of 10−5 to 10−4 were produced in large quantities in an electric gas discharge tube. C59N is a stable monomeric substituent molecule in crystalline C60. The isotropic 14N and 13C hyperfine coupling constants measured by electron spin resonance (ESR) are characteristic of the extent of delocalization of the charge over the cage and are a sensitive test of electronic structure calculations. The C59N reorientational activation energy measured below the face centered cubic (fcc) to simple cubic (sc) transition is 2300 K. This value is similar to that of the matrix C60 molecules, indicating that C59N–C60 intermolecular interactions are weak.
Metallic coverings of calcium on C60 by X.G. Gong; Vijay Kumar (238-244).
We present results of the electronic structure and stability of calcium coverings on C60 using a linear combination of atomic orbitals and the local density functional approximation. Calculations on Ca x C60 with x=12, 20 and 32 show partial charge transfer from calcium atoms to C60 and hybridization of the calcium and fullerene states. This leads to (i) a large binding energy of Ca on C60 which decreases with an increasing coverage and (ii) formation of a metallic shell on C60. The large abundance of the Ca32C60 complex is shown to be due to geometric factors in agreement with experiments.
Synthesis of nickel sulfide using Langmuir–Blodgett films of nickel complex of 2-hydroxy-5-nitro-N-benzylidene hexadecylamine monolayers at air/water interface by G. Hemakanthi; Aruna Dhathathreyan (245-249).
A new amphiphilic Schiff base 2-hydroxy-5-nitro-N-benzylidene hexadecylamine (2H5NHDB) has been synthesized and its monolayer properties at the air/water interface have been studied. Surface pressure/molecular area (π–A) and surface potential/molecular area (ΔV–A) isotherms have been used to characterize the ligand and its complexation with nickel has been monitored using surface enhanced UV–Vis reflection spectroscopy at the gas/water interface. The complexation leads to either a shift or the appearance of new bands in the spectra. The preferred orientation and organization of the ligand into dimers at the air/water interface helps formation of stable nickel complexes. Sulfidation of the nickel complex (LB film) leads to uniform spherical clusters of nickel sulfide.
Rotational spectra and structure of the hydrogen-bonded complex oxetane⋯HCl by Sonia Antolı́nez; Juan C. López; José L. Alonso (250-256).
The hydrogen-bonded complex oxetane⋯HCl generated in a supersonic jet has been characterised by Fourier transform microwave spectroscopy. For the observed conformer the spectra of the four isotopic species C3H6O⋯H35Cl,C3H6O⋯H37Cl,C3H6O⋯D35Cl and C3H6O⋯D37Cl have been measured. Rotational data are consistent with a C s symmetry for the complex, with HCl lying in the symmetry plane bisector to the COC angle. The planar configuration of isolated oxetane has been reasonably elucidated to remain in the dimer, which implies that no significant change in the potential energy function of ring puckering motion of oxetane occurs upon complexation.
Different back electron transfer from titanium dioxide nanoparticles to tetra (4-sulfonatophenyl) porphyrin monomer and its J-aggregate by Xiujuan Yang; Zhifei Dai; Atsushi Miura; Naoto Tamai (257-264).
The synthesized titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticle was found to enhance the formation of J-aggregate of water-soluble porphyrin, tetra (4-sulfonatophenyl) porphyrin dye, 5,10,15,20-tetraphenyl-21H, 23 H-porphine tetrasulfonic acid (TPPS). The forward and back electron transfers (ETs) between adsorbed TPPS and TiO2 nanoparticles were examined by picosecond single-photon timing and femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy. The ultrafast back ET of ∼0.8 ps was observed both for the protonated monomer and the J-aggregate. The back ET almost completes within a few tens of picoseconds for the protonated monomer, while >1 ns is required for the J-aggregate. The difference has been interpreted in terms the hole delocalization and electronic coupling of the protonated monomer and J-aggregate adsorbed on TiO2 nanoparticles.
Orientations of the 17O electric-field-gradient tensor and chemical shift tensor in benzamide: NMR of dipolar coupled spins by Gang Wu; Shuan Dong (265-270).
We report a solid-state 17 O NMR study of [α- 13 C,17 O ] benzamide. The orientations of the 17O electric-field-gradient and chemical shift tensors were determined from analysis of magic-angle spinning and stationary 17O NMR spectra. The largest electric-field-gradient component lies in the amide plane and perpendicular to the 13C–17O dipolar vector, whereas the intermediate electric-field-gradient component is along the CO bond. It is also found that the principal component of the 17O chemical shift tensor with the least shielding, δ 11, is approximately 18° off the CO bond and that the component with the most shielding, δ 33, is perpendicular to the amide plane. The present study confirms our earlier results of quantum chemical calculations.
Excited-state dynamics of rhodopsin probed by femtosecond fluorescence spectroscopy by Hideki Kandori; Yuji Furutani; Shoko Nishimura; Yoshinori Shichida; Haik Chosrowjan; Yutaka Shibata; Noboru Mataga (271-276).
Nonexponential fluorescence dynamics of bovine rhodopsin were measured at various wavelengths from 530 to 780 nm. No dynamic Stokes shift was detected but the fastest part of the fluorescence at both blue and red sides of the spectrum decayed faster than that at the center, which has led to the conclusion that the Franck–Condon state→fluorescence state conversion occurs within time-resolution of apparatus (<100 fs) owing to coupling with intra-chromophore high frequency modes and faster initial decay is due to sharpening of band shape caused by a decrease of amplitudes of hfm along the reaction coordinate of twisting.
A soft-landing experiment on organometallic cluster ions: infrared spectroscopy of V(benzene)2 in Ar matrix by Ken Judai; Kentaro Sera; Shin-ichi Amatsutsumi; Keiichi Yagi; Tomokazu Yasuike; Satoshi Yabushita; Atsushi Nakajima; Koji Kaya (277-284).
Vanadium (V)–benzene cluster ions, produced by laser ablation with reaction toward benzene vapor, were size-selected and deposited into a low-temperature Ar matrix. Infrared spectrum of V1(benzene)2 in the Ar matrix was measured after one-hour deposition with the deposition energy of 20 eV. The spectrum was in agreement with both the reported spectrum and our theoretical calculations, showing that (1) V1(benzene)2, prepared in the gas-phase reaction, takes a sandwich structure and that (2) the ions were soft-landed onto the Ar matrix and were neutralized by charge transfer from a metal substrate without fragmentation.
Structural characterization of 9-cyanoanthracene–water by rotational coherence spectroscopy by Kazuhiro Egashira; Yasuhiro Ohshima; Okitsugu Kajimoto (285-292).
Rotational coherence spectroscopy (RCS) has been applied to determine the rotational constants of the two isotopic species of the 9-cyanoanthracene (CNA)–water complex, CNA–H2O, and CNA–D2O. To support the experimental observation, DFT calculations at the B3LYP/6-31G(d, p) level have been also performed to identify several stable conformations. The structure of the complex is found to be such that water is hydrogen-bonded to the π-electrons of the cyano group of CNA. Geometrical parameters consistent with the experimental results are evaluated.
Upconversion excitation of Cr3+ 2 E emission in Y3Ga5O12 codoped with Cr3+ and Yb3+ by S. Heer; M. Wermuth; K. Krämer; H.U. Güdel (293-297).
The 2 E→4 A 2 emission of Cr3+ in crystals and glasses is of great importance in science and technology. We report a new excitation mode for this emission in Y3Ga5O12 (YGG) codoped with Cr3+ and Yb3+. It is based on an upconversion mechanism using 2 F 5/2 of Yb3+ as an intermediate state. Excitation in the near-IR at 969.6 nm leads to visible luminescence around 700 nm at low temperature. In YGG:2%Cr3+,1%Yb3+ at 15 K and for a laser power of 150 mW the efficiency of the process is 5.5%. From its time dependence the upconversion mechanism is found to be dominated by an energy transfer step: Two excited Yb3+ ions simultaneously transfer their 2 F 5/2 excitation to Cr3+.
Fabrication and optical absorption of ordered indium oxide nanowire arrays embedded in anodic alumina membranes by Maojun Zheng; Lide Zhang; Xinyi Zhang; Jun Zhang; Guanghai Li (298-302).
Ordered semiconductor In2O3 nanowire arrays embedded in anodic alumina membranes were fabricated by electrodeposition and oxidizing methods. The X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy indicate that the In2O3 nanowires with polycrystalline structure are uniformly assembled into the hexagonally ordered nanochannels of the anodic alumina membranes. The optical absorption band edge of In2O3 nanowires array exhibits a marked red shift with respect to that of the bulk In2O3, and depends on the post-heat treatment temperature. This is attributed to the oxygen vacancy in In2O3 nanowires and the interface interactions between the anodic alumina membranes and the In2O3 nanowires.
Predicting polarizabilities and lifetimes of excitons on conjugated polymer chains by J.-W. van der Horst; P.A. Bobbert; P.H.L. de Jong; M.A.J. Michels; L.D.A. Siebbeles; J.M. Warman; G.H. Gelinck; G. Brocks (303-308).
The properties of excitons on three different conjugated polymers in solution are investigated both experimentally and theoretically. The theoretical description of the excitons is obtained by solving the electron-hole Bethe–Salpeter equation (BSE) for the polymers, starting from a calculation within density-functional theory. The calculated radiative lifetimes and polarizabilities of the excitons are compared with experimental results from time-resolved fluorescence decay and flash-photolysis microwave conductivity measurements. The quantitative agreement demonstrates the predictive power of the theoretical approach.
Temperature decrease induced by stimulated emission in the Nd3+ ion-doped YAl3(BO3)4 crystal by D. Jaque; J. Garcı́a Solé (309-313).
The temperature rise induced by illumination in a (YAl3(BO3)4) crystal activated with Nd3+ luminescent ions has been measured under spontaneous and stimulated emission conditions. Due to the low-quantum efficiency (18–26%) of the Nd3+ ion in this crystal, a remarkable temperature decrease (13° at 150 mW of absorbed pump power) is observed when switching from spontaneous to stimulated emission. This `thermal cooling' can also be used to estimate the B Einstein coefficient. The value we have obtained, B=2.3×1014 m 3 J −1 s −1 for the main laser transition, is in good agreement with those reported by other methods.
Steady-state spectral properties of dendrimer supermolecule as a light harvesting system by Dipankar Rana; Gautam Gangopadhyay (314-324).
We have considered the dendrimer supermolecule as comprised of two-level systems as monomer units on the nodes of a Cayley tree. Each unit undergoes dissipation and driving by an external laser field along with nearest neighbour interaction among the monomer units. We have studied the steady-state absorption spectra. The effects of Cayley tree geometry on the spectral properties are investigated through the intensity and width of the spectra. The origin of the enhanced energy transfer mechanism of the extended dendrimer in comparison to the compact one is explained.
On the local structure of the correlation factor for the ground state of the helium atom by Alexei V. Arbuznikov; Marc Hendrickx (325-329).
The correlation factor in the explicitly correlated wave function for the ground state of the helium atom has been analyzed. The general structure of the correlation factor (including its angular dependency) in the region of small r 12 has been obtained. The `extent of non-sphericity' of the correlation factor, g(r 1,r 2,r 12), is proportional to the first derivative of logarithm of the `coalescence function' h(r)=g(r,r,0).
Dissociative recombination of antiprotonic atomcules p ̄ He + with positronium: towards antihydrogen synthesis? by Sébastien Sauge; Pierre Valiron; István Mayer (330-336).
We investigate the reactive association of metastable antiprotonic helium `atomcules' ([ p ̄ He +]nl ) with positronium(Ps). In the framework of the Born–Oppenheimer approximation, we further discuss the evolution and stability of the intermediate complex (α, p ̄ , e+, 2e−) using a classical trajectory approach for treating the nuclei (α, p ̄ ). We predict two possible channels for the atomcule–Ps reaction depending upon the atomcule principal quantum number n:n ⩾ 38 states dissociate to H ̄ , whereas, n<38 states form a new class of metastable atomcules, which could be confirmed by laser spectroscopy. The present work illustrates the pertinence of simple chemical physics concepts to the study of exotic processes involving antimatter.
Further investigation on the validity of Stokes–Einstein behaviour at the molecular level by Regula Walser; Berk Hess; Alan E. Mark; Wilfred F. van Gunsteren (337-342).
Stokes–Einstein behaviour at the molecular level is investigated by simulating water at different temperatures and by simulating `water' models with different mass distributions. When combining Stokes' law for the viscosity with Einstein's formula for the diffusivity, an expression for the product of these quantities is obtained, which shows that the product of diffusivity and viscosity should be independent of the mass distribution and positively proportional to the temperature. Using both, equilibrium and non-equilibrium simulation techniques to compute the viscosity slight deviation from Stokes–Einstein behaviour was found for the `water' models and temperatures investigated. Non-equilibrium simulation seems to yield systematically lower values for the viscosity than the equilibrium simulation.
Process and thermodynamics of ligand–receptor interaction studied using a novel simulation method by P.-L. Chau (343-351).
A novel simulation method for unbinding a ligand from its receptor is described. It requires no prior knowledge of the unbinding trajectory and has atomic resolution. It places forces of equal magnitude but opposite directions on the two molecules, and lets the system locate an unbinding trajectory. The mutual repulsion method has been applied successfully to the bovine serum retinol-binding protein / retinol complex. A change in water structure has been observed during the unbinding process. The free energy change of unbinding has also been evaluated, and the value compares favourably with the experimental result.
Ab initio determination of the anharmonic vibrational spectra of P2O in the region 200–2000 cm−1 by Claude Pouchan; Maroane Aouni; Didier Bégué (352-356).
An ab initio quartic force field calculated from a cc-pVTZ basis set at CCSD(T) level of theory is used to compute the vibrational energy levels of diphosphorus oxide, P2O, in the range 200–2000 cm −1 . The most important vibrational configurations, constructed from harmonic vibrational wavefunctions, selected by an iterative process by means of a variational perturbational method are diagonalized. The results show a good agreement with the most reliable experimental values such as ν 3, the ν 1+ν 3←ν 1 hot band and two postulated Fermi resonances and predict unobserved overtones and combinations bands in the medium IR region.
Phase shift cavity ring-down measurement of C–H (Δv=6) vibrational overtone absorptions by Ernest K Lewis; Dovie Reynolds; Xiaochuan Li; Geraud de Villele; Charles Leduc; David L Cedeño; Carlos Manzanares I (357-364).
Phase shift cavity ring-down absorption spectroscopy with a continuous laser is used to measure the absorption coefficients and integrated cross-sections for the Δv=6 C–H stretching overtones of C2H4,C2H6,C3H8, n-C4H10, and n-C5H12. The absorption spectrum is obtained by measuring the magnitude of the phase shift that an intensity modulated continuous laser beam experiences upon passing through an optical cavity. Sensitive absorption detection (10−6 cm −1 ) on gas-phase samples is demonstrated.
Theoretical Gibbs free energy study on UO2(H2O) n 2+ and its hydrolysis products by Satoru Tsushima; Tianxiao Yang; Atsuyuki Suzuki (365-373).
Hydration of uranyl ion (UO2 2+) in aqueous system was investigated using hybrid density functional theory B3LYP method. Gibbs free energies and solvation energies for different UO2(H2O) n 2+ (n=4, 5, and 6) (including the first and the second solvation shell) clusters were calculated. Polarized continuum model (PCM) was used to calculate the solvation energy. The results show that the hydration number of UO2 2+ in liquid phase is 5. The hydrolysis reactions of UO2(H2O)5 2+ were investigated. The temperature and pressure effects on the reaction energies were studied. It was found that temperature and pressure significantly changed the equilibrium constants of hydrolysis reactions.
Dipole-bound anion of 1,3-butanediol. Ab initio and Rydberg electron transfer spectroscopy study by S Carles; C Desfrançois; J.P Schermann; A.F Jalbout; Ludwik Adamowicz (374-380).
Rydberg electron transfer spectroscopy (RET) has been used to determine the dipole-bound (DB) electron affinity (EA) of 1,3-butanediol and a single spectral feature was obtained corresponding to the EA value of 8±1 meV. A series of high-level ab initio calculations were also carried out for this system. They revealed an interesting configuration landscape of the 1,3-butanediol DB anion with four minima corresponding to different configurations. All four configurations can be responsible for the single RET spectral peak.
Can NO2 + exist in bent or cyclic forms? by A.K Füzéry; R Burcl; L.L Torday; P Császár; O Farkas; A Perczel; M.A Zamora; J.G Papp; B Penke; P Piecuch; I.G Csizmadia (381-386).
Calculations of NO2 + at HF, CBS-4, CASSCF, MBPT(2), MBPT(3), and MBPT(4) theory levels, using 3-21G and 6-31G(d) basis sets, found two C2V structures along with the linear geometry. Computations using MBPT(2) and CCSD(T) approaches and the aug-cc-pvtz basis set confirmed these results. Harmonic vibrational frequency calculations, performed with MBPT(2) and CCSD(T) theories, indicated that the linear structure was the global minimum while one of the bent structures (∠ONO=80°) was a higher energy local minimum. The second C2V structure (∠ONO=45°) exhibited a large imaginary vibrational frequency along the asymmetric stretching (B2) mode, indicating its saddle point nature.
Model calculations of magnetic field effects on the recombination reactions of radicals with anisotropic hyperfine interactions by C.R. Timmel; F. Cintolesi; B. Brocklehurst; P.J. Hore (387-395).
The effects of anisotropic hyperfine interactions on the recombination reactions of spin correlated radical pairs in a weak applied magnetic field are discussed in the context of the radical pair mechanism (RPM). Model calculations are presented for radical pairs containing a single spin-1/2 nucleus with an axial or rhombic coupling to one of the unpaired electrons. The so-called low field effect (LFE) and various resonances in the magnetic field effect (MFE) are calculated. Approximate analytical expressions are given for the field positions of the resonances which are shown to arise from energy level crossings.
A comparison of scalar-relativistic ZORA and DKH density functional schemes: monohydrides, monooxides and monofluorides of La, Lu, Ac and Lr by Gongyi Hong; Michael Dolg; Lemin Li (396-402).
The zeroth-order regular approximation (ZORA) to the Dirac Hamiltonian and the Douglas–Kroll–Hess Hamiltonian (DKH) in their scalar-relativistic formulation have been implemented in a density functional code. The two approaches are compared on the same footing, i.e., using the same exchange-correlation functionals, basis sets and grids for numerical integration. The monohydrides, monooxides and monofluorides of La, Lu, Ac and Lr have been selected for a calibration study. Both methods yield very consistent results for bond lengths, binding energies and vibrational constants. Comparison is also made to experimental data as well as other relativistic all-electron and pseudopotential results.
Long-range dispersion coefficients for the low-lying electronic states of Mg2 from the calculation of the frequency-dependent dipole polarizabilities of Mg in its ground and excited states by Mohammadou Mérawa; Didier Bégué; Michel Rérat; Claude Pouchan (403-410).
The frequency-dependent dipole polarizabilities are calculated for the five lowest states 31S; 41S; 31P; 33P and 43S of Mg by using our time-dependent gauge invariant method (TDGI). Estimations of the long-range dispersion coefficients for all the first-molecular states dissociations of Mg2 are proposed. Accuracy of the results is checked through the calculations obtained from a length, a velocity and a mixed approach in the formulation of the oscillator strengths and the corresponding dynamic dipole polarizabilities. In all cases, the length results appear as a reference for the comparison with some previous works concerning the ground state. The long-range coefficients reported for almost all the low-lying states are new and predict a repulsive interaction between the 41S states.
Interaction of halogen atom with Ag(1 1 0): ab initio pseudopotential density functional study by Yun Wang; Qiang Sun; Kangnian Fan; Jingfa Deng (411-418).
The interaction of halogen atoms with the p(2 × 1)-Ag(1 1 0) surface has been studied by using the pseudopotential total energy method based on density functional theory (DFT). Adsorption properties of halogen atoms at several possible sites on p(2 × 1)-Ag(1 1 0) are presented. Our results show that adsorption energies decrease from F to I. The most stable adsorption site for all halogen atoms is the short bridge (SB) site. The adsorption of halogen can greatly affect both the structural and electronic properties of the surface.
Comment on "The importance of high-order correlation effects for the CO–CO interaction potential" [Chem. Phys. Lett. 314 (1999) 326] by Thomas Bondo Pedersen; Berta Fernández; Henrik Koch (419-423).
In a recent Letter, M. Rode et al. [Chem. Phys. Lett. 314 (1999) 326] claim the incapability of the coupled cluster singles and doubles model including connected triple excitations to describe the intermolecular interaction in the CO dimer. We have investigated the problem and found several facts in favor of the coupled cluster singles and doubles model including connected triple excitations being accurate even for the CO dimer.
Reply to the Comment on "The importance of high-order correlation effects for the CO–CO interaction potential" [Chem. Phys. Lett. 314 (1999) 326] by Michał Rode; Joanna Sadlej; Robert Moszynski; Paul E.S. Wormer; Ad van der Avoird (424-425).
In an earlier Letter [Chem. Phys. Lett. 314 (1999) 326] we pointed out that the CCSD(T) method lacks some terms necessary for an accurate computation of the CO–CO interaction. In a Comment by Pedersen et al. [Chem. Phys. Lett. 304 (2000) 419] this finding is contested. In the present Reply we show that Pedersen et al. missed the main point of our argument.

Introducing international students to the country and the culture – DIT's Host Family Programme
DIT's Host Family Programme connects exchange students and local families every semester. As of now, 150 international students are looking for a host family for the winter semester 17/18.
In participating in the Host Family Programme, local families help students who are a long way from home to assimilate into their new environment and to quickly understand cultural differences. The programme is free and can be adjusted individually and flexibly by the hosts. "As a host family/person, you can meet up with one or more students once or several times. Often, students are invited for lunch or dinner and a short trip is planned together", as Ariadna Schmidt, staff member at DIT's International Office knows. Apart from their native language, the students speak English and many of them can communicate in German as well. Due to the increasing interest in the programme, families, individuals or associations from Deggendorf are needed. The goal is the connect every student to a host. Coordinator between the two parties is Marion Löfflmann, who will answer all questions via firstname.lastname@example.com
You can find more information in our HFP flyer here.

Local elementary school students demonstrated their solidarity with Susiya by participating in Pinwheels for Peace ahead of the International Day of Peace by handing out pinwheels to those in attendance of the briefing
By Sarah Seniuk
Susiya is a small Palestinian village located in the southern Hebron Hills, and has been a particularly sought-after area of land by Israel. The villagers were first displaced in 1986 for an archaeological dig, and since have faced ever-renewing threats. Now, Susiya and its residents face imminent relocation. Susiya itself falls within Area C of the occupied West bank, which was placed under Israeli control during the 1993 peace accords, with the Israeli government crafting new arguments for the removal of Palestinians and the demolition of the village regularly. The latest demolition order is now being held up in court, neither granting the government explicit permission to begin removing residents, nor halting the slow encroachment of Israeli settlers.
This is where American constituents come into play. Today, the office of Senator Bernie Sanders (D – VT) hosted a Congressional briefing presented by Rebuilding Alliance to bring greater awareness to the plight of Susiya. Rebuilding Alliance's founder Donna Baranski-Walker was joined by Alon Cohen-Lifshitz ofBimkom: Planners for Planning Rights, Kate Gould of the Friends Committee on National Legislation, Rabbi Arik Ascherman ofRabbis for Human Rights and Torat Tzedek were joined by 15-year-old resident of the village, Aysar, to speak about Susiya and what Americans can do to help.
Aysar, 15, has spoken on behalf of Susiya for 3 years through Rebuilding Alliance. This year, he insisted on addressing the audience in English. Around him are Alon Cohen-Lifshitz and translator Rasha Mahmoud, who also works as the Manager of Philanthropy in the West Bank for Rebuilding Alliance.
Aysar has been speaking on behalf of his village for three years in Washington, DC, and was meant to be joined by five-year-old Tia, though she was only granted two of the three visas needed to travel from Gaza to the US. Aysar described how he's harassed by Israeli soldiers on the way to school, and said his dream is to one day live in a house with walls instead of a tent. He urged attendees to act and "let me imagine my future."
As Ascherman, Baranski, Cohen, and Gould all explained during the briefing, it takes very little from American constituents to make a big difference for Palestinians facing the demolition of their villages. The US government and its people have always had an impact on shaping the scope and breadth of Israeli policy. And while many Americans may be concerned with political developments at home, their influence remains strong abroad. Here are some easy ways to help Susiya now:
· Call your representatives, ask them to vote no on S. 720 and HR 1697 - bills which aim to restrict non-violent BDS activism in support of Palestinian human rights, particularly how it relates to the UN's 2016 recommended sanctions against Israeli settlements
From left to right: Mahmoud, Aysar, Baranski-Walker, and Ascherman
· Ask your representatives to tell the State Department and the Israeli Embassy that Americans do not support the destruction of Palestinian villages
· Make Susiya (and other villages like it) visible through social media, or by visiting the village itself if you have the opportunity and resources - Americans actively demonstrating their solidarity has a big impact both on the government and for the morale of Palestinians
Here is where you can find and contact your Representative and Senators.

That same year, she was on the very first dance team for the NBA Golden State Warriors that consisted of ten dancers. After two seasons with the Warriors, she went-on to dance for the San Francisco 49ers as a Gold Rush cheerleader. She frequently represented the Warriors and 49ers at charity events, promotional business, and television appearances. These unique experiences allowed Ms. Jane to be introduced to some of the best choreographers in the world.

Operations / Merchandising Manager
Several years ago, DAU had grown to the point that it needed a full-time professional in the area of merchandising and costuming. We needed someone with experience in identifying current & future customer requirements, tracking budget expenses, strategic pricing analysis, vendor relationships, market knowledge, client relationships, market trend formation, online security measures, etc. Kim was the perfect fit!
Before coming to DAU (about three years ago), Kim was the Managing Partner of Jayne's Hallmark shop at Valley Fair Mall. At one time, Jayne's was one of the most successful Hallmark stores in the Bay Area – Ms. Jane and many DAU families were frequent customers. She co-owned and managed this location for over 15 years. As the Managing Partner, she handled everything from hiring, training and motivating employees; to purchasing & vendor relationships; payroll, scheduling, etc. As the economy changed and her family grew, Kim took a five-year sabbatical from the business/ workforce. Subsequently, as her daughter entered second grade, Kim was ready to re-enter the workforce – and DAU was excited to have her!
As DAU's Merchandising Manager, everything relative to merchandise and costuming (primarily show related) moves through her desk. She has recently lead DAU through a complete overhaul of our costume ordering process. Our new process is now user-friendly, efficient and we think is a big win for DAU families, instructors, management and ultimately our students.
On a personal note, Kim was reared in the San Jose Area, is married and has a beautiful daughter (as mentioned) – that is enjoying her dance lessons and friends at DAU! Kim says "I have a work schedule that accommodates my daughter's school schedule along with a very understanding and helpful husband who can pick her up from school and bring her to dance class for me. I have been part of the DAU Team now for about three years, and am very grateful to have such a fulfilling job working with amazing people and being a part of the lives of so many wonderful kids!"
Evening Operations Manager / Production Company Manager
The world of social media is growing at a ferocious pace. The complex nature of this field has required even the smallest of companies to: pay attention and learn, learn, learn! As we learn, the more challenging question(s) become: What is good for DAU and what is good for our customers and our staff (and subsequently - what do we do?). Lisa is leading this effort for DAU – however, we take an at large position on this topic at DAU – meaning, the entire Management Team is involved.
Lisa has demonstrated a unique ability to bridge the creative side of the business to the technical components of social media and blend the two into a coherent & cohesive plan that has improved DAU's customer experience.
At its very core, DAU is a school and Lisa is very comfortable in this environment. She has been in and around the school/children environment her entire adult life. She has worked for Challenger School (as a pre-kindergarten teacher for nine years) and has been very active in her church where she worked as a teacher/bible study leader for the youth group, organized youth functions, Friday night fellowship, etc. She is also no stranger to retail/working with the public – she was the manager of Nine West in the Valley Fair Mall for several years. At Challenger and Nine West Lisa was involved in: developing lessons plans, responsible for monthly communications, mentored teaching methodology, staff selection & training, marketing strategy and store operations (and results).
Lisa's background in education, teaching, retail, marketing, management, sales and advertising has made her a fantastic addition to the DAU's Management Team. On a personal note – Lisa is married (to a fantastic guy who is an automotive industry executive) and has three beautiful daughters, all of whom have grown up dancing at DAU.
Social Media/Teacher Assistant/Apprentice Teacher Program Manager
When Gabby isn't teaching or working on her role as Tap Director, she can be found managing the Outreach and Social Media aspects of DAU. Gabby graduated Magna Cum Laude with a BFA in Dance Performance from Chapman University in 2014. Along with a degree in the career of her choice, Gabby also left Chapman with a minor in English.
Her non-dance related work includes being an Administrative Assistant and working the front desk at places at Steps on Broadway and Design 2147 in New York. Gabby also managed all social media for dance company, SHIFT Dance Collective, while she was in Brooklyn. She is so happy to be immersed in all aspects of DAU and looks forward to bringing our community to a larger demographic of people.

Let us join our Hymns to those of the Angels that declared the Birth of jesus Christ to the Shepherds. Let us rejoice with the Angels, that by this blessed Nativity Peace has been given to the Earth, and that the Glory of God and his good Will towards Men, has been manifested. Let us also learn, by the Example of the Shepherds that went to Bethlehem, to pay their Homage to the Lord Jesus, to adore Him with all the Reverence, and all the Zeal we are capable of, now that He is in Heaven, and continually to render to Him that Honour and Obedience which we owe Hihx

GOD repeals the Law for the Observation of the Passover, and He establishes another Law ; by which He obliges the Jews to consecrate to Him the First-Born. The Design of which Law was, to put them in Mind, that God had spared their First-Born, when He had slain those of the Egyptians.
Afttr the Lesson.
My Brethren,
TH E Commandment that God gave to the People of Israel, to celebrate the Pallbver every Year, to the end that they may keep up the Memory of their Deliverance from Egytt, ought to put us in Mind of the Goodness of God towards us, and that we should testifie our Gratitude to Him for it •, particularly it shews us, that the Remembrance of the great Deliverance we have obtained by the Death of Jesus Christ, ought never to flip out of our Minds, and that it should always be celebrated in the Church by the Means of the Holy Supper, according to the Commands of our Redeemer. The Law which obliged the Jews to consecrate their First-Born to God, teaches us to render Homage to the Lord for all the Favours He has bestowed upon us, by imploying them in his Service, and to Religious Purposes, and to devote to his Glory our selves and all that is dearest to us.

Leah Martindale reviews Spike Lee's tour de force 'BlacKkKlansman'; hailed by certain outlets as his seminal piece.
While this seems an overstatement, BlackKklansman as a work screams Lee throughout and is a poignant and relevant portrayal of a near 40 year old true story of the first black officer in the Colorado Springs police department, who successfully infiltrated the Klu Klux Klan. From here on out the review contains spoilers - you've been fairly warned.
The film opens with a remake of the iconic and breathtaking scene from Gone With the Wind (1939), when Scarlett forges through seas of wounded civil war soldiers to find a doctor to deliver Melanie's baby, ending on a shot of the confederate flag drifting in the wind. (The film is later referenced by KKK Grand Wizard David Duke, who refers to his own 'mammy' as being like Hattie McDaniel.) Then it cuts to Alec Baldwin, as Dr Kennebrew Beauregard, spewing racist rhetoric for a public service announcement on the pervasiveness of integration and the destruction of the pure white race, but he keeps forgetting his lines. The tone is instantly set for a rollercoaster ride of racial vitriol, punchy comedy, and heartbreaking social introspection.
John David Washington is Detective Ron Stallworth in an intricate role that is sometimes underplayed. The internal conflict of being a 'jive-loving soul brotha' and a detective in the overtly racist police force is portrayed masterfully by Lee's direction and the team's writing, but Washington's characterisation can at times fall flat. The complexity undertaken in the role of Stallworth is a mammoth task that could intimidate any actor, and while Washington portrays it satisfactorily, it needs more nuance at times.
Adam Driver plays Detective Flip Zimmerman, the white (Jewish) face of Stallworth, with finesse. The character is, simply put, precise. Flip's disdain for the Klansmen, confliction with the cause, and position as a detached employee are shown measuredly throughout the film. He is a man shaped by his time and context, and his character develops steadily with the crazy circumstances, and Driver has the talent to be near imperceptible throughout.
BlackKlansman time aka time for the new film starring one of my very favs pic.twitter.com/WKjT5rngwV— Becca 🐤 (@littlecharmer_) August 31, 2018
Laura Harrier's portrayal of Patrice, the President of the Colorado University's Black Students' Union group, is one of the more rounded supporting actress roles in Lee's works. Her character trajectory is a little predictable, but is nonetheless played exceptionally, and Harrier undertook this pivotal role with confidence and class. Other notable mentions must go to Ryan Eggold, who manages to play a Klansman with such compassion and care for his fellow Klansmen that he manages to be almost likeable.
The entire duration of the film is one held breath, waiting for the traumatising bomb drop that I have come to know and love of Lee's work. Even without knowing his body of work, however, the film ripples with tension throughout, as the sheer absurdity of the situation is sure to catch up with Ron at some point, and the climax could never be a calm one.
The film's resolution is packed full of action, imagery, and poignant reflections of the two extreme ends of the spectrum. An attempted murder of Patrice turns into the accidental murder of three of the Klansmen by one of their own wives, and Ron is savagely beaten by other police officers who do not believe his status as an undercover officer. All his declarations that the police are not as bad as they seem appear more futile with each blow of the baton. All the while, the Klansman's wife screams racial slurs at Ron and encourages the police to arrest him to cover up for her own terroristic actions.
Blackklansman: a film where the police spearhead the fight for black civil rights— Mattapoisett2137 (@Matt_A_Poissett) August 25, 2018
On so many level one wonders what was going through Spike Lee's head
For more detailed critique, read from people who were actually at Charlottesville
The film then becomes contemporary when the final sequence shows real footage covering the slaughter of Heather Heyer at an alt-right rally in Charlottesville last year, with real life Klansman David Duke praising Trump and calling for a new white age in America.
As I had before seen BlacKkKlansman's ending being hailed as Lee's most explosive and seminal piece, the final act felt underwhelming, and so I say this: Lee's work is complex and deeply political, and this work takes his themes and serves them anew, as always. The film fits with his body of work perfectly and is a must watch for the politically minded amongst us, or simply those with a love for their fellow man, and a hatred of hatred burning in their hearts.

What happened to the website design industry?
Everywhere I look now I see website designs that look like one another, steal from another and are following a formula that is seemingly stuck in one direction.
I too am guilty of following this formula on some projects. In fact at the clients request the formula seems very enticing. Clients want what other companies have. They want the video, rotating images, top nav etc… We build and design websites that have been done before. The client is happy. But we are not.
We may try to provide the client with something completely different. But its, well, different. And that is the problem. Clients can not see the possibilities. They want solid ideas. Ideas that have been done before.
So how do we allow the clients to see the possibilities?
For me the possibilities evolve from content. When I delve into the clients content, their business and their goals I can start to create interesting functionality that delivers their content to their audience in a way that makes sense for them. It can be something simple, elegant or just one bold statement.

Your Teenager with ADHD
Your child with ADHD has successfully navigated the early school years and is beginning his or her journey through middle school and high school. Although your child has been periodically evaluated through the years, this is a good time to have a complete re-evaluation of your child's health.
The teen years are challenging for most children; for the child with ADHD these years are doubly hard. All the adolescent problems—peer pressure, the fear of failure in both school and socially, low self-esteem—are harder for the ADHD child to handle. The desire to be independent, to try new and forbidden things—alcohol, drugs, and sexual activity—can lead to unforeseen consequences. The rules that once were, for the most part, followed, are often now flaunted. Parents may not agree with each other on how the teenager's behavior should be handled.
Now, more than ever, rules should be straightforward and easy to understand. Communication between the adolescent and parents can help the teenager to know the reasons for each rule.When a rule is set, it should be clear why the rule is set. Sometimes it helps to have a chart, posted usually in the kitchen, that lists all household rules and all rules for outside the home (social and school). Another chart could list household chores with space to check off a chore once it is done.
When rules are broken—and they will be—respond to this inappropriate behavior as calmly and matter-of-factly as possible. Use punishment sparingly. Even with teens, a time-out can work. Impulsivity and hot temper often accompany ADHD. A short time alone can help.
As the teenager spends more time away from home, there will be demands for a later curfew and the use of the car. Listen to your child's request, give reasons for your opinion and listen to his or her opinion, and negotiate. Communication, negotiation, and compromise will prove helpful.

What is sex? It is a transference of energy. So how then do we define ourselves in this chaotic disillusioning world, of gay and straight? Each instance is different with each person. There is no definition of what makes one straight or gay. Some people believe it is due to genetics, others a chemical imbalance in the mind. I am willing to say it is part of human nature and evolution. As our species tends to be drastically overpopulated it is no surprise that these occurrences happen. In order for nature to control our populous what better way than to use our own sexual desires against us? Not that attraction to the same sex is a negative quality but in the evolutionary aspect it keeps humans from further procreating. Another aspect that must be kept in mind is that humans in general are sexual creatures by nature.
What causes us to be sexual in nature? For the majority of reasons all of our faux pas in sexual industries stem from our cultural and societal training. If we did not have such stigmas as it's wrong to engage in sexual intercourse with a dog then I am sure there would be a number of people engaging in such an act. The thought disgusts most people though, why? Because of our brain's programming and perhaps sympathy extended to the dog. Now I am not condoning such an act but I am saying that our sexual urges are worked primarily on our social pressures. Many of us are told from the day we are born that it is our job not pleasure but our job to get married and have many kids. Preferably males, but such would be the case in thousands of years reined by patriarchal society. What I am proposing then is that given proper circumstances it could then be assumed that any male may have a male partner and any female may have a female partner and vice versa. To which I say there is nothing wrong with, it is an expression of companionship. Some of us are more curious than others looking for answers to what our truths may be.
Well there is NO truth. The truth is as we make it. There are "facts" but all "facts" are even subjective upon conditions. There are an inordinate number of variables to possibly even consider that there could be one truth. The only way we could have such a truth is if we were to include all possible variables in such a statement of fact, which again is quite impossible simply because we aren't even aware of all factors at play in the universe.
So moving on to the dynamic of humanity being a sexual creature by nature, sex is the greatest and most charged exchange of energy. WE are creatures of energy. This energy is often quite beyond our control and we need to release. Much like a pressure valve on a dam needs to be released to prevent it from veritably exploding. This transference of energy is so great that there have been many cultures that have devoted their time to attempt to create a method to spiritual enlightenment. The French have referred to the orgasm as the tiny death. It is truly the only time in our lives when we have a complete release of energy and our minds go blank even for a brief moment. This moment is the transcendental experience between life and death. It is knowing yet wholly unknowing. So given every circumstance there is always a probability for an alternate reality.
One's sexual preference is truly based on their experience and environmental conditions. Everything plays a factor. There is no truth there is only an extension of will. It is our wills that define our universe. Thought is creative, you think it then there is a possibility for it to be true. Which then defers to quantum mechanics but that is a whole other discussion. I say why the label? In a world devoted to yes and no black and white why confine yourself to yet another box? Let the chips fall where they may. It is not for you to decide; it IS what you are a living being with an energy force. You are the product of everything you have ever interacted with. There is no right or wrong path there is only life and the journey you take to the end.

Success Story: Kimmy (Barista Skills Program)
After obtaining her Associate in Arts degree at Tacoma Community College, Kimmy found it difficult to find a job. She had spent nearly a year looking, when a friend told her about Goodwill. Her love of coffee made the Barista Skills program an easy choice of what she wanted to pursue.
Going through the program helped her to overcome barriers which stemmed from the mild form of Asperger's syndrome which she has. She is now more outgoing and is utilizing the kitchen skills she learned through the program at her new job as a dietary aide at an Alzheimer's residential home.
When she isn't working, Kimmy enjoys spending time with her two dogs and volunteering at other assisted living facilities. She also enjoys playing the piano, singing in the community choir and reading. She is excited about the manuscript for a novel she is currently working on. Her long term goals are to either work for a publishing company or to become a librarian.
You can help a Goodwill participant find success through the power of work by
making a financial gift today. Thank you!
