Alan J. Heeger
The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2000
Born: 22 January 1936, Sioux City, IA, USA
Affiliation at the time of the award: University of California, Santa Barbara, CA, USA
Prize motivation: "for the discovery and development of conductive polymers."
Prize share: 1/3
Plastic material is composed of polymers - very large molecules that take the form of long chains of smaller molecules. Plastic usually does not conduct electricity, but at the end of the 1970s Alan Heeger, Alan MacDiarmid, and Hideki Shirakawa demonstrated that it is possible to produce conductive polymers. This requires alternating single and double bonds between carbon atoms in the chain and doping the polymers through the addition of suitable atoms so that free electrons or holes appear after the electrons. Conductive polymers can be used in electronics and other applications.

The first-ever TeamMBA Week sparked more than two thousand students from Honolulu to Hong Kong to temporarily put their studies aside to give back locally to communities and causes. The TeamMBA Week launch, which took place April 21-25, was dubbed an unqualified success.
Teams from 28 business schools took part in activities in support of TeamMBA week. A total of 2,155 students performed 6500 volunteer hours under the TeamMBA banner. TeamMBA Week fundraising activities collected some $31,000 for local causes.
Among many different activities, student participants in TeamMBA Week helped renovate public school buildings in Washington, D.C.; held a 5K race to raise money for Boys & Girls Clubs in Columbus, Ohio; cleaned-up a park in Rochester, New York; refurbished homes for needy people in Charlottesville, Virginia; assisted in the restoration of ancient temples in Honolulu; and helped to open the minds of underprivileged children to opportunities through education in Hong Kong. "The success of TeamMBA week clearly shows that the next generation of business leaders is committed to social responsibility and community engagement," says Melissa Knueven, who directs the program.
TeamMBA Week is one of the activities of TeamMBA, a GMAC initiative that encourages and supports social responsibility and community engagement by graduate business schools and their students. Since TeamMBA was launched in 2005, thousands of students, staff, and faculty from dozens of business schools have donated thousands of volunteer hours and raised more than $400,000 for charities and community organizations.

Figen Yuksekdag, the former co-leader of the HDP, was arrested in November 2016 on charges of "terrorist propaganda" and "defaming the Turkish Republic."
Despite her absence on Monday, the Mersin 2nd Heavy Criminal Court continued Yuksekdag's case where prosecutors pushed for a 10-year sentence.
The charges were laid against Yuksekdag over a speech she delivered at a Kurdish New Year (Newroz) celebration in the southern province of Mersin last year.
The former HDP co-leader's lawyer Gulseren Yoleri told Turkey's Hurriyet Daily News there were several other court cases filed against Yuksekdag.
"There are currently more than 20 cases ongoing in different courts," she said.
"There are also eight different investigations by prosecutors filed against her."
Yoleri said the separate investigations filed against Yuksekdag would most likely be turned into cases where she would possibly face different sentences with more jail time.
The former co-leader is currently facing 30 to 83 years in prison for "inciting to commit a crime" and "inciting the public to hatred and hostility" in a case in Ankara with another hearing scheduled for later this month.
The Turkish government has been cracking down on the press and pro-Kurdish parties since a failed military coup last July.
Since last year, Yuksekdag and the other co-leader of the HDP Selahattin Demirtas, along with 10 other lawmakers, have been detained without a trial.

New MAP of the BRITISH DOMINIONS in NORTH AMERICA; with the Limits of the Governments annexed thereto by the late Treaty of Peace, and Settled by Proclamation, October 7th 1763
Thomas Kitchin
A map of North America after the Treaty of Paris and King George's Royal Proclamation showing territories gained beyond the original 13 colonies to along the Mississippi and in Québec. Although the Proclamation is mentioned, no line is drawn to show its territorial boundaries. The inset map shows the Florida peninsula that is beyond the southern extent of the main map. An elaborate scroll motif cartouche frames the title including authority and date. Map engraved for the History of War story in the Annual Register.
Two scale bars are present in British and French sea leagues and British Statute miles and London is used for the prime meridian; the scale was calculated from the scale bar and the coordinates from the map's graticule.

VISIA Digital Skin Analysis
Cross-polarised UV digital imaging technique
VISIA Facts
In just five to ten minutes, the VISIA system is able to scan and measure the face and head, for the precise, swift and pain-free recording of multi-dimensional images – for the development of treatment plans, tracking of progress, or assessment of treatment results.
The VISIA system enables practitioners to view their patients faces objectively and 'as a whole', which is an especially important step to Dr. Natalia Hancock and the Skintique team, in the process of finding the most appropriate procedures for patients based on their unique features.
Patients are also able to take the tracking of their treatment journey progress a step further, as VISIA enables the opportunity to identify the visible changes to the skin after treatment, and provide comparisons.
This highly visual and interactive element supports the assurance of a truly transparent treatment journey, as patients can see the steps that lead to the products and procedures recommended by their practitioner – which can begin as soon as their VISIA analyses are complete.

This is the exact kit I got....
and CO2 tank:
http://www.beveragefactory.com/draftbee ... 2/C5.shtml
because as much as I love to support my local HBS I couldn't see spending around a hundred dollars more than I could get this kit for online, at the very least the picture in the first link will show you everything you should have for your conversion. Comes with full picture instruction pamphlet and everything. The conversion itself was real easy just make sure you use the right type of drill bit to go through the door as regular spade styles tend to crack the plastic on the inside of the door instead of making a clean hole.
The 2 pepsi kegs I did get from my HBS and they clean/sanitize and pressure test all of their kegs before they sell them, plus they gave me an entire rebuild kit for the valves and main seal with the purchase of each keg.
Glass carboy's are definitely a plus, I use them for my primary and secondary(since I dry hop everything) but I also bought mine before prices went up on them.
My kids just gave me a kegging system for Christmas

I use my oil pump to remove the transmission fluid. I've read that the multipurpose ATF is the correct fluid as mentioned before. I put Dextron in mine a few years ago and haven't noticed slippage. I will be changing it this spring to multipurpose as recommended.
Dexron 3/Mercon is what they call multipurpose ATF. You are good with what you have in there.

The Swiss company Nestlé, founded in 1905 following the merger of Farine Lactée Henri Nestlé (1866) and the Anglo-Swiss Milk Company (1866), established its first trading office in Saigon in 1912.
The building which housed this first Magasin Nestlé & Anglo-Swiss Condensed Milk Co at 5 rue Vannier (Ngô Đức Kế) may still be seen today on the junction with Đồng Khởi street, the former rue Catinat.
The company grew significantly during the First World War years and by the 1920s the Société Nestlé was selling large quantities of evaporated milk, dairy products and chocolate to consumers in Indochina through its three offices in Saigon, Hà Nội and Hải Phong.
Throughout the colonial period, the company's Indochina headquarters remained in Saigon, where, in the early 1930s, a new office building was inaugurated at 35-37 rue Mac-Mahon (Nam Kỳ Khởi Nghĩa).
One of the city's most stylish art deco structures, the old Nestlé headquarters was used for a variety of purposes after 1975, but is currently home to the Saigon Times Group.
Tim Doling is the author of the forthcoming book of walking tours entitled Exploring Hồ Chí Minh City (Nhà Xuất Bản Thế Giới, Hà Nội, 2014) and also conducts 4-hour Heritage Tours of Historic Saigon and Cholon.
