Approval is an optional step where a pharmacist or manager would record their approval or rejection of the print job before it goes to the log. Some facilities use this step to replace their paper log book. You should check with your state and other governing organization(s) before you stop using your paper log book.
Roles who are allowed to approve print jobs can click on the Approve button to view this tab. Note that if approval is not required for a role then the print jobs will go straight to the log as approved by the user who printed. Also, users who cannot approve their own jobs will only see other people's jobs here.
…or selected directly from this drop-down list.
Click the Approve Button to approve the job. It will be recorded with your initials and the time of approval in the log, and then removed from the list of jobs waiting for approval.
Click the Reject Button to reject the job. You will be presented a list of reasons for the rejection.
Select a reason and click the OK Button to reject the job. This information will be recorded to the log and the item will be removed from the list of jobs waiting for approval.
Expert Tip: If the reason you need does not appear on the list, just type in a new one. MILT will add it to the list so it can be selected again in the future. To remove a reason, just select it and click the Delete key on your keyboard. Note that deleting a reason from this list does not change the past – once a job is approved or rejected, the information for that job does not change.

IM Properties looks to support local organisations
IM Properties > News > Uncategorised > IM Properties looks to support local organisations
Birmingham community groups looking to fund local projects are being encouraged to apply for grants from a £270,000 Peddimore Community Fund.
A slowdown in applications has been experienced during the current crisis and property company, IM Properties, who set up the fund, is keen to let local groups know they're still looking to help.
IM Properties launched the Peddimore Community Fund in 2018 to assist local projects surrounding a major new employment park being created in Minworth, Royal Sutton Coldfield.
Managed by the Heart of England Community Foundation, the fund awards grants of up to £2000 and could help with social welfare, health and well-being initiatives, sports or community projects or formal training and education programmes.
Kerry Amory from IM Properties who works on the company's social value agenda said, "We understand that many community funds have diverted their attention to helping with the coronavirus recovery and whilst we have donated money to assist in the fantastic work Heart of England Community Foundation has been doing to help people impacted, we are still keen to support local organisations trying to move forward in their communities.
"We've already awarded £32,334 from the fund so far and helped a wide range of organisations including a Bingo Club for older and socially isolated people, a Lego therapy club for children and an innovative digital project to help connect communities."
IM Properties has an extensive Social Value programme being implemented at Peddimore to deliver social and economic benefits to the local community, which includes partnering with four community organisations including St Basils, The Jericho Foundation, The Pioneer Group and Witton Lodge.
Tina Costello, chief executive of Heart of England Community Foundation, said: "We're really keen to gain momentum again in our support for local organisations and would urge anyone interested to visit our website, which provides full details of the criteria and examples of the types of projects the fund wishes to support."
For more information on the fund, or to apply, please visit: http://www.heartofenglandcf.co.uk/peddimore-community-fund/ or call 024 7688 3297.

Amidst the hilarity that has since ensued (I recommend an Internet search for "binders full of women," as well as a glance at this IntLawGrrls post), let's pause to consider some data from the glamorous world of international arbitration.
Attorneys Mark Baker and Lucy Greenwood of Fulbright & Jaworski collected information about arbitrator appointments for their article, "Getting a Better Balance on International Arbitration Tribunals," which will be published in Arbitration International by the end of this year. Based on information provided by two major international arbitration institutions, among other sources, they estimate that women represent between 4 and 6.5% of recent appointments in international commercial cases.
A similar picture emerges in investment treaty arbitration: Baker and Greenwood find that women account for 5.63% of arbitrators appointed in arbitrations administered by the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes, or ICSID, and concluded between January 13, 1972, and January 18, 2012. Earlier this year, a publication entitled "The (lack of) women arbitrators in investment treaty arbitration," by Osgoode Hall Law Professor Gus Van Harten, placed the number of women arbitrators in all known investment treaty cases until May 2010 at 6.5%.
These numbers should cause disquiet in the international arbitration community. I'm sure all of us can instantly call to mind several female practitioners and scholars – in addition to Kaufmann-Kohler and Stern – who have established strong reputations. Women appear as counsel in high-profile arbitrations, win promotions in top law firms, publish articles and present at conferences. Why don't they get appointed as arbitrators?
The story behind Romney's binders, as clarified the day after the debate, is instructive. The binders were prepared by the Massachusetts Governments Appointments Project at its own initiative. Before and after the 2002 gubernatorial elections, MassGAP vetted women for each cabinet post and compiled information about top applicants. Its efforts paid off: two years into Romney's term, 42% of the new appointments made by his administration were women (in the next two years, the percentage of newly appointed women in senior positions dropped to 25%).
► Periodically distribute profiles to practitioners and organizations in the field.
And those of you who make appointment decisions may want to take active steps to ensure that the résumés of the best candidates, male and female, arrive at your desk – or on your computer screen.

Philomathea
Our second album is full of our original songs inspired by Georgia history. Read lyrics and descriptions of the songs on this page.
Our First Rodeo
Our first produced album is fun and relaxing to listen to. Some of it sounds like Appalachian old-time; some like old country; for other songs, we don't know what to call them — folk / alternative-folk / indie-folk / Americana or…? — We just call it good music.
We most often produce ourselves into a larger-than-duo band on our albums since we love to record a variety of instruments on our songs. We might use our guitars, Irish bouzouki, fiddle, mandolin, tenor banjo, 5-string Appalachian clawhammer banjo, bass, harmonica, vocals, drum set, electric guitar, or other surprises.
The physical copies of our albums contain our art and liner notes which list songwriter information and all the instruments we play on the songs, and sometimes a thought or two about the songs' creation. You can order physical copies via the links above or see our contact page. We also recommend supporting your local record store by asking them if they can sell you a copy — please buy from small, independent businesses wherever, whenever you can.
Our albums and singles are creatively, uniquely, from our hearts: Written, Performed, Recorded, Engineered, Produced, Mixed, Mastered, Noted, and Designed by Clay Babies (with the exception of any guest performers mentioned in album notes above).

HAWAI`I COUNTY COUNCIL DISTRICT SIX CANDIDATES met at a forum held at Pahala Community Center yesterday. Richard Abbett, of Ocean View, Maile David, of Captain Cook, and Jim Wilson, of Volcano, answered questions posed by Recycle Hawai`i, Sierra Club, several Native Hawaiians and audience members. Kristine Kubat and Bob Ernst, of Recycle Hawai`i were moderators.
The first question was, "How do you express your love for the land in your personal life?"

County Council District Six candidates' forum at Pahala Community Center.

Richard Abbett discussed his appreciation of nature and said he has been a fishermen and hunter in 48 of the 50 states. He said the future of Hawai`i comes from realizing that spiritual values come from connections with the land. "The specialness that we have here requires leadership," he said.
Maile David said that, as a Native Hawaiian, she has a familial relationship with the land. She grew up hunting, fishing and working on the family farm in Kona. "I want my children to experience that," she said. "I know the importance of the connections of our people to the land." She said the ahupua`a system is most intact on Big Island. "We have to preserve that; what we do to the land will effect the Native Hawaiians," she said.
Jim Wilson said that in "every culture that ever existed, the land has been important to them. Mother Nature is pissed about what we've done to this land. If we don't do something, we are going to be in serious trouble." He said he wants to make the land like 100 years ago "when it was productive. There's something special about this island, and I want to do whatever I can to protect it," he said.
"What has qualified you to be a County Council member?" Kubat asked.
David stressed her 30 years of legal experience, including 10 years working with the County Council, first as assistant to council member Angel Pilago and currently as Deputy County Clerk. She also worked with Legal Aid Society of Hawai`i. David worked on lawsuits to protect shorelines. One lawsuit led to a court decision clarifying that the state is not permitted to delegate to another entity its authority and obligations to protect the environment for Native Hawaiians. "Although we have laws that protect people and environment, lawsuits are the only way you get attention that government needs to protect our citizens. You destroy the resources; you destroy the people," she said.

Abbett said he worked as a council's community liaison in Olympia, WA. He also worked with former Hawai`i County Council member Bob Jacobson and his wife Julie in the 1990s. He has been involved in the water-planning project in Ocean View and has also worked with Native American tribes on the mainland on state and federal issues. He also brought up his background with Trout Unlimited, a national organization based in Washington state to conserve cold-water fisheries. Abbett has bachelor's degree in public policy and administration.
Wilson stressed his ability to listen and make decisions. He said, "I have a real desire see a lot more common sense put into the organization." He said he wants to see the county run more like a business and that his business background, including his years as publisher of Hawai`i Tribune-Herald, and work with civic organizations qualify him to be a council member.
Regarding Hawaiian history and transfer of power from the Hawaiian kingdom to the United States, Kubat asked, "Are you aware of the history of the overthrow of Hawai`i?"
Wilson said he spends a lot of time trying to understand the issue. He said his family comes from a Native American background and, "I know it becomes a very emotional issue." He said it is a deep and important subject "that needs to be with fairly."
David said her understanding of the overthrow was "the turning point of my life." She said in the 1960s and 1970s, libraries had no books on Hawaiiana and history books talked about the sugar industry. She said she learned about Hawaiian history when in law and got involved in sovereignty movement.
Abbett said, "History is written by the victors. It still does amaze me how much Hawaiian culture and history was ignored. I was conceived here and have family here." He said Hawaiians deserve respect and to make the choice of how they heal and move forward.

HAWAI`I'S RURAL TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM IS IN NEED of modernization to better support economic growth, according to a report released today.
The report, Rural Connections: Challenges and Opportunities in America's Heartland, was released by TRIP, a national nonprofit transportation research group based in Washington, DC. The group found that rural roads and bridges in Hawai`i have significant deficiencies and a high rate of traffic fatalities.
In 2012, 32 percent of Hawai`i's major rural roads were rated in poor condition, the fourth highest rate nationally. In 2013, 19 percent of Hawai`i's rural bridges were rated as structurally deficient, the sixth highest rate in the nation.
The traffic fatality rate on Hawai`i's non-interstate rural roads was 2.48 fatalities per 100 million vehicle miles of travel in 2012, the 12th highest in the nation and more than 2.5 times higher than the fatality rate of 0.89 on all other roads in the state.
The report finds that the U.S. needs to adopt transportation policies that will improve rural transportation connectivity, safety and conditions to provide the nation's small communities and rural areas with safe and efficient access to support quality of life and enhance economic productivity. To accomplish this, the report recommends modernizing and extending key routes to accommodate personal and commercial travel, implementing needed roadway safety improvements, improving public transit access to rural areas and adequately funding preservation and maintenance of rural transportation assets.
However, according to the report, due to a cash shortfall in the Highway Trust Fund as projected by the Congressional Budget Office, Hawai`i could lose $195 million for highway and transit improvements if a lack of adequate revenue going into the Federal Highway Trust Fund is not addressed by Congress.

Graham Hill Eyecare • Contact Lenses
CONTACT LENSES ARE AN ALTERNATIVE TO GLASSES AND COME IN A VARIETY OF FORMS. A CONSULTATION WITH YOUR OPTOMETRIST WILL DETERMINE IF YOU ARE LIKELY TO BE A SUCCESSFUL CONTACT LENS WEARER AND WHAT TYPE OF LENSES WILL SUIT YOU BEST.
ORDER Contact Lenses
Some of the contact lens options include:
Daily Disposable Contact Lenses
These lenses are worn once and then disposed of. With daily replacement, these lenses provide maximum comfort and sterility. They also provide a very effective option for people who want to wear contact lenses occasionally.
Fortnightly/Monthly Disposable Lenses
These require disinfection between each use and are available in several different designs. These are more cost-effective for those who wish to wear lenses most days.
Extended Wear Contact Lenses
These are made from a special silicon hydrogel material that allows them to be worn overnight. They are currently available in 1, 2 and 4-week versions. The lenses must initially be assessed at the one-day, one-week and one-month stage to determine suitability.
Available in a variety of different disposable lens designs. They allow for far and near vision at the same time. A frequently used alternative to multifocal contact lenses is
This is a system by which one eye is focussed for reading and the other is focussed for distance.
Custom-Made Contact Lenses
Made to last up to 1-2 years. Because of higher maintenance requirements, increasing allergy rates and dry eye issues, these lenses are now less frequently used.
Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) lenses or Hard Contact Lenses
These are a lot more rigid in their structure. Although initially less comfortable than the soft lens designs, RGP lenses still have their place in specialised contact lens fittings for conditions such as keratoconus and are the lenses required for Ortho-Keratology.
Short Sightedness Treatment
Ortho-Keratology is a contact lens treatment for myopia (short sightedness) and low degrees of astigmatism. It involves wearing a rigid contact lens worn at night to re-shape the cornea so that glasses and contact lenses are not required during the day. Ortho-Keratology is adaptable to changing prescriptions and research shows this to be the most effective method of keeping short sighted progression at bay. For more information, contact our rooms or follow this link to the Australian Ortho K Association: www.osa.net.au
Keratoconus is a condition in which the cornea becomes thin and stretched, bulging outwards into a conical shape. This causes vision distortion and significant vision impairment if left without treatment. Thankfully, modern treatments allow individuals with keratoconus to live normal lives.
Graham Hill Eyecare provides treatment for keratoconus in Shepparton in the form of RGP contact lenses which can maintain the shape of the cornea. Jenni Sorraghan and Sao Tyler specialise in fitting these lenses.

Smith Weeps, Chandimal Smiles
by Pushpendra Albe
Written by Pushpendra Albe
On March 29, Australia's Batting Great Steve Smith, after being banned for a year following his involvement in the ball tampering scandal, called for a Press Conference to offer unconditional apology for his shameful act. In front of media, and of those millions of Cricket fans who were watching him, he broke down and started weeping and crying. He was devastated for his wrongdoing and honestly accepted in front of entire World that 'he would regret this for rest of his life.'
After his tearful apology, many of his Australian fellow players came to his support and requested a softened stance from Cricket Australia. However, Smith refused any kind of forgiveness and as a true sportsman accepted the penalty for his unethical act in Cape Town test. At that time, Smith was world's best test batsman, carrying a Bradman like average of 61. Few days later, his deputy David Warner and Cameron Bancroft also accepted their involvement.
On July 11, Sri Lanka's Dinesh Chandimal met Chandika Hathurusingha and Asanka Gurusinha in Galle before the start of the first test against South Africa. All they were not a part of the team, as they were banned by International Cricket Council (ICC) for bringing disrepute to the game. However, unlike Smith or Warner, they didn't call for a press conference. They didn't offer apology to their fans, to their country. Instead, they all were smiling and gave a perfect pose to photographers!
It turned out a great, memorable photo. But, it painted a wrong perception about Sri Lanka Cricket's Image!
Why, why Chandimal, Gurusinha and Hathurusingha didn't feel like Steve Smith or David Warner?
As we all know, Chandimal plays his cricket with passion, has been a true ambassador for his country all these years. Few years ago, he won Millions of hearts by rejecting IPL offer to focus on the test format. At that time, he made it clear that his country is more important for him. So, why that same Chandimal didn't regret about his shameful act in the second test against West Indies?
Chandika Hathurusingha is not a 'newbie' for World Cricket. As a player, he was rather unfortunate. He could have been a great player for Sri Lanka, but internal politics and presence of great players in the national team at that time prevented him by making a statement at international level. As a Coach, though, he has achieved some significant things. People believes that he was the mastermind behind Bangladesh emergence as a Cricket playing nation. Now, he has been considered as one of the top most coach in world Cricket. Surprisingly, he also didn't realize that he has committed a mistake!
Asanka Gurusinha played in a world Cup winning Team. He was there, when Australia conspired against Muttiah Muralitharan. They protested, fought in the inspirational leadership of Arjuna Ranatunga. But, they didn't bring disrepute to the game. Sadly, Gurusinha also didn't realize his fault!
We are saying they didn't realize, because, till date, no one has spoken about the incident. No one has called a Pres conference or no one issued an apology, we all were anticipating, especially after witnessing Smith and Co apology!
Instead, they gave a perfect pose to the photographers. Indeed, it turned out a great, memorable photo!

After investigating the garadama, the professor discovers that it is putting out some sort of radio signal, to where the signal is transmitting to the professor does not know, so he sends Jun and Ippei out to check the crash site for any other possible garadama or clues. While back down by the river a massive garadama that could wipe out a city crashes in the mountains, luckily the garadama again fell gently and caused very little impact damage. The heat from the gigantic garadama's atmospheric entry caused the river to dry up . As the crew gets closer to investigate this new garadama it begins to crack open, they then realizes that the large garadama was responding to the signal from the smaller garadama. The large garadama breaks open to reveal a giant android monster called Garamon. As the crew comes to the realization of the danger they are in they notice a boat stuck on the cliff of the river that had dried up.
This is one of my favorite episodes, although the Garamon looks somewhat goofy it is somehow also a pretty creepy kaiju. Just the idea of the Garamon is dark, basically there is an alien race out there somewhere that launches off all these small garadamas and when they crash onto a planet a fleet of Garamon shortly follow to wipe out all life on the planet that way the aliens can come and take over the planet themselves. This episode is one of my favorites in the series and the great thing about that is there is a second part! That's right spoilers there is another more severe Garamon invasion that happens a few episodes later so look out for that review!


5KCBWDAY1 – A Day In the Life: Describe a day in the life of a project that you have made, or are in the process of making. This post is from the perspective of a hat I'm knitting currently.
Despite my tendency to jump from project to project for the sake of something new and exciting, I'm making an effort to pick up and finish some of those old, forgotten projects. Lately I've been working on a two-year-old pair of Froot Loop socks, and am making good progress! One down, one to go.
This simple ribbed hat is coming along nicely, and should actually be finished in time to not be a late birthday gift for it's lucky recipient!

A. N-Methylbenzimine . Under a well-ventilated hood, a 250-mL Erlenmeyer flask is equipped with a magnetic stirrer and charged with an aqueous solution (40% w/w, 100 mL) of methylamine . Freshly distilled benzaldehyde (26.5 g, 0.25 mol) is added to the stirred solution of methylamine at room temperature. A mildly exothermic reaction occurs resulting in a milky white emulsion. The Erlenmeyer flask is stoppered and the mixture is stirred overnight (15 hr). The milky emulsion is transferred to a separatory funnel, diethyl ether (200 mL) is added, and the organic phase is separated and dried over potassium carbonate (K2CO3). The solids are removed by filtration, washed with ether (50 mL), and the combined filtrate and washings are concentrated on a rotary evaporator. The residue is distilled through a 10-cm Vigreux column using a water aspirator to give 28.3 g (95%) of imine as a water white liquid (bp 99-100°C/25 mm) (Note 1).
B. meso- and dl-N,N'-Dimethyl-1,2-diphenylethylenediamine . A flame-dried, three-necked, round-bottomed flask (500 mL) is equipped with a mechanical or magnetic stirrer, a thermometer, water condenser connected to a nitrogen inlet, and a septum, and then charged with zinc (Zn) powder (13.1 g, 0.2 mol) and anhydrous acetonitrile (50 mL) under an atmosphere of nitrogen (Note 2). The zinc powder is activated by the addition of 1,2-dibromoethane (1.5 mL, 3.5 g, 0.02 mol) via syringe followed by warming the mixture at reflux for 1 min and then allowing the mixture to cool to room temperature. A small amount of chlorotrimethylsilane (Me3SiCl) is added via syringe, whereupon evolution of ethylene gas is observed (Note 3). The mixture is stirred for 45 min, and then N-methylbenzimine (23.8 g, 0.2 mol) is added in one portion via syringe, followed by anhydrous acetonitrile (100 mL). The septum is replaced with an addition funnel (100 mL), and chlorotrimethylsilane (Note 4) (32.5 g, 38 mL, 0.3 mol) is slowly added (30 min) at a rate that maintains the internal temperature below 30°C. The reaction mixture is stirred for 2 hr and then cooled to 0°C with an ice bath. The vigorously stirred mixture is hydrolyzed by cautiously adding, via the addition funnel, a solution prepared by mixing concentrated aqueous ammonium hydroxide (60 mL) with saturated aqueous ammonium chloride (140 mL). The excess zinc is removed by filtration at 1 atm, washed with ether (200 mL), and the residual zinc is covered with water (Note 5). The organic layer is separated, and the aqueous phase is extracted with diethyl ether (1 × 200 mL) and dichloromethane (2 × 200 mL) (Note 6). The combined organic phases are dried over anhydrous K2CO3. The salts are removed by filtration, washed with diethyl ether (50 mL), and the solvent is removed on a rotary evaporator to afford 24.3 g of a semi-solid residue that is used directly in the next reaction (Note 7) and (Note 8).
C. Isomerization of the diamine: dl-N,N'-Dimethyl-1,2-diphenylethylene-diamine . A solution of the crude diamine (24.3 g) in anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (THF) (200 mL) is placed in a three-necked, round-bottomed flask equipped with a mechanical or magnetic stirrer, a thermometer, an addition funnel, and a water condenser fitted with a nitrogen inlet. The addition funnel is removed, and small pieces of freshly cut lithium wire (1.8 g, 0.26 mol) are added in one portion (Note 9). Isoprene (10.2 g, 15 mL, 0.15 mol) is slowly added from the addition funnel while the solution is stirred vigorously. An exothermic reaction occurs, and the internal temperature is maintained below 40°C with the aid of a water bath. The lithium pieces become brilliant and the solution turns dark red. The course of the reaction is carefully monitored by TLC (Note 10) until the meso-diamine is isomerized into the dl-isomer. This takes approximately 1-2 hr. The reaction mixture is then cooled to 0°C, and the excess lithium metal is removed by gravity filtration through a funnel containing a plug of glass wool. The excess lithium is stored under oil. The filtrate is cooled in an ice bath and hydrolyzed by slow addition of aqueous 2.5 N hydrochloric acid (HCl, 200 mL). The layers are separated, and the aqueous phase is extracted with ether (Et2O, 2 × 100 mL). The organic layer is discarded, and the aqueous layer is made basic with aqueous 35% (w/w) sodium hydroxide (50 mL). The aqueous solution is extracted with Et2O (2 × 200 mL). The ether extracts are dried over K2CO3, the solids are removed by filtration, and the solvent is removed using a rotatory evaporator to give 23.4 g (95%) of crude dl-diamine as a brown oil (Note 11). Pure dl-diamine is isolated as follows. A 1-L, round-bottomed flask, equipped with a magnetic stirrer and a water condenser, is charged with the above crude diamine, racemic dl-tartaric acid (14.4 g, 0.096 mol) (Note 12) and absolute ethanol (700 mL). The heterogeneous mixture is brought to reflux at which point the precipitate is mainly dissolved. After 10 min at reflux, the mixture is left at room temperature for 2-4 hr. The resulting precipitate is collected by suction filtration and rinsed with ethanol (50 mL). The collected salt is added to a mixture of aqueous 35% (w/w) sodium hydroxide (60 mL), demineralized water (200 mL) and Et2O (200 mL). The mixture is stirred for 30 min, the phases are separated and the aqueous layer is extracted with Et2O (2 × 200 mL). The combined organic phases are dried over K2CO3, the salts are removed by filtration and the solvent is removed on a rotatory evaporator to give 12.2 g (51%) of pure dl-diamine as a colorless oil (Note 13).
D. Resolution of the dl-diamine: (R,R)-(+)-N,N'-Dimethyl-1,2-diphenylethylenediamine and (S,S)-(−)-N,N'-Dimethyl-1,2-diphenylethylenediamine . A 1-L, round-bottomed flask, equipped with a magnetic stirring bar and a water condenser, is charged with pure dl-diamine (12 g, 0.05 mol) , natural L-(+)-tartaric acid (7.1 g, 0.05 mol) (Note 14) and absolute ethanol (350 mL). The heterogeneous mixture is brought to reflux and the precipitate dissolves completely (Note 15). After 30 min the solution is allowed to cool to room temperature and stand overnight (17 hr). The precipitate is collected by filtration and washed with ethanol (2 × 50 mL). The salt is added to a mixture of aqueous 35% (w/w) NaOH (30 mL), demineralized water (100 mL) and Et2O (100 mL). The solution is stirred for 30 min, and the phases are separated. The aqueous layer is extracted with Et2O (2 × 100 mL), and the combined extracts are dried over K2CO3. The solids are removed by filtration, and the solvent is removed on a rotary evaporator to give 5.5 g (90%) of crude (R,R)-diamine as a white powder, mp 49-50°C (Note 16). The mother liquor is concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue is stirred with a mixture of aqueous 35% (w/w) NaOH (30 mL), demineralized water (100 mL) and Et2O (100 mL). The solution is stirred for 30 min, and the phases are separated. The aqueous layer is extracted with Et2O (2 × 100 mL), and the combined extracts are dried over K2CO3. The solids are removed by filtration, and the solvent is removed on a rotary evaporator to give 6.15 g (101%) of crude (S,S)-diamine as an oil that solidifies upon drying under reduced pressure, mp 45-48°C (Note 17).
1. Spectral data for the imine follow: 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ: 3.5 (d, 3 H, J = 1.7), 7.4 (m, 3 H), 7.7 (m, 2 H), 8.2 (q, 1 H, J = 1.7) ; 13C NMR (CDCl3) δ: 48.1, 127.9, 128.5, 130.5, 136.4, 162.3 .
2. Zinc powder (325 mesh) was purchased from Aldrich Chemical Company, Inc., or Prolabo . Anhydrous acetonitrile was purchased directly from Aldrich Chemical Company, Inc. , and used without purification.
3. Activation of zinc is not always needed. For zinc purchased from Prolabo, the submitters report that the coupling reaction proceeds directly. The checkers note that gas evolution begins upon addition of the 1,2-dibromoethane and increases upon addition of the chlorotrimethylsilane.
4. Commercial chlorotrimethylsilane (Janssen Chimica or Aldrich Chemical Company, Inc.) is used without any purification.
5. The excess zinc is highly reactive and when dry could be exothermically oxidized by air.
6. The meso-diamine is less soluble in Et2O than the dl-diamine. Therefore, dichloromethane is used to extract both isomers completely.
7. This crude diamine is a 50/50 mixture of meso- and dl-isomers. The mixture also contains 2-5% of N-methylbenzylamine and small amounts of other unidentified contaminants.
8. 1H NMR analysis of the mixture (CDCl3) shows the following distinct signals due to the meso-isomer δ: 2.09 (s, 6 H), 3.62 (s, 2 H); the dl-isomer δ: 2.25 (s, 6 H), 3.53 (s, 2 H) ; and N-methylbenzylamine δ: 2.45 (s, 3 H), 3.75 (s, 2 H) .
9. The submitters indicate that the isomerization rate is faster when lithium containing 0.5-1.0% sodium is used.
10. An aliquot of approximately 0.5 mL is withdrawn from the reaction using a Pasteur pipette and mixed with an equal volume of aqueous saturated ammonium chloride (NH4Cl). Approximately 0.5 mL of ethyl acetate is added followed by brief mixing and withdrawal of the upper organic layer via pipette. TLC analysis of this sample is performed over silica gel using diethyl ether-triethylamine (95:5) as the eluant with a UV lamp for visualization. The Rf values of the dl-diamine and meso-diamine are 0.8 and 0.6, respectively. Close monitoring of the reaction is important as reduction of the diamine to afford N-methylbenzylamine (Rf = 0.35) can occur. The reaction can also be monitored by 1H NMR analysis of the aforementioned aliquot after drying and concentration under reduced pressure.
11. This material is a mixture of dl-diamine:meso-diamine:N-methylbenzylamine (approximately 82.6:4.4:13.0) as shown by 1H NMR (see (Note 8)).
12. Any commercial source of dl-tartaric acid works well. The ratio of tartaric acid to diamine is 1:1. The checkers found that if isomerization of the meso-diamine is incomplete, this purification procedure provides a mixture of meso- and dl-diamines.
13. Spectral data for the dl-diamine follow: 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ: 1.95 (b s, 2 H), 2.25 (s, 6 H), 3.53 (s, 2 H), 7.05 (m, 4 H), 7.15 (m, 6 H) ; 13C NMR (CDCl3) δ: 34.7, 71.4, 127.0, 128.0, 128.1, 141.2 .
14. Any commercial source of (+)-tartaric acid works well.
15. The shape of the precipitate becomes lighter and finer until total dissolution. Total dissolution is achieved only with absolute ethanol. With 95% grade ethanol the fine precipitate does not dissolve completely, but the resolution proceeds equally well.
16. The crude (R,R)-diamine has [α] D +19.2 (CHCl3, c 0.01) and an enantiomeric excess of >99%. Recrystallization of a 1.0-g sample from pentane at 0°C gave 0.66-0.72 g of (R,R)-diamine with mp 50-51°C; [α] D +20.0 (CHCl3, c 0.01) and an enantiomeric excess of >99%. The enantiomeric excess was measured as follows:2 Into a dry NMR tube under nitrogen is placed a solution of the (R,R)-diamine (32 mg, 0.13 mol) in 0.8 mL of dry deuterochloroform (CDCl3). To this solution are added dry N,N-diethylaniline (80 μL) and a solution of freshly distilled phosphorus trichloride (PCl3, 50 μL of a 3.2 M solution in dry CDCl3, 0.16 mmol). The solution is shaken vigorously. 31P NMR analysis indicates the formation of a "P-Cl" species at δ 176.2. Enantiomerically pure l-menthol (25 mg, 0.16 mmol) is dissolved in 0.8 mL of dry CDCl3 , and the resulting solution is added to the NMR tube under nitrogen. The tube is shaken, and 31P NMR analysis indicates the formation of only one "P-OR" species at δ 143.5. The diastereomeric "P-OR" species derived from the (S,S)-diamine appears at δ 141.2. If the sample is contaminated with meso-diamine, the signal for the corresponding "P-OR" species appears at δ 138.9. Depending on the quality of reagents, some additional peaks may appear in the spectrum, but they do not interfere with the measurement of % ee.
17. The crude (S,S)-diamine has [α] D −17.1 (CHCl3, c 0.01) and an enantiomeric excess of approximately 96% using the method described above. Recrystallization of a 1.0-g sample from pentane at 0°C gave 0.71 g of (S,S)-diamine with mp 49.5-50.5°C, [α] D −19.7 (CHCl3, c 0.01) and an enantiomeric excess of >99% using the method described above. A second recrystallization of this material gave 0.5 g of material with little change in physical properties: mp 50-50.5°C, [α] D −20.0 (CHCl3, c 0.01).
There are a few reports on the synthesis of N,N'-dimethyl-1,2-diphenylethylenediamine by pinacol couplings3,4,5,6,7,8 or by N-methylation of the primary diamine.9,10 Pinacol type couplings of imines have been reported for the synthesis of other C2 symmetrical N-substituted or unsubstituted 1,2-diarylethylenediamines using various reducing metals in different solvents.11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30 However, the present synthesis of N,N'-dimethyl-1,2-diphenylethylenediamine is the most suitable for large scale preparation. There are no expensive or hazardous starting materials, and the procedure does not require tedious filtrations or chromatographic separation of diastereomers.
N,N'-Dimethyl-1,2-diphenylethylenediamine and related chiral diamines are not only useful chiral auxiliaries in asymmetric synthesis, but they have also found applications as analytical reagents. They allow the resolution and the determination of enantiomeric composition of aldehydes by formation of diastereomeric aminals.31,32,33,34 Combined with PCl3, they allow determination of the enantiomeric composition of alcohols, biphenols, thiols and amines.35,36 The diamine described here is used most extensively.

We present our findings on the photometric variability of the impact spots of comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 (SL 9) in the Jovian atmosphere. Extensive imaging and differential photometry of impact spots in the methane band (8950/90 Å) have enabled us to conservatively extract their photometric contribution from that of Jupiter. In this methane band, the SL 9 spots appear brighter than the surrounding Jovian surface because they lie above the main concentrations of methane that overlie the cloud tops. Our observations of two well-observed and isolated spots, H and Q1, indicate that spots experience a photometric growth that initially approximates a power law in time of index 0.3 and then appears to level off in the case of the H spot. We consider two explanations for the brightening of spots: (1) the dispersal of high optical depth core regions and (2) the coagulation of dust from the atomized or fragmented cometary ejecta. The former has been rejected because one spot, H, which was disrupted by a cyclonic storm, exhibited no discontinuity in its rate of photometric growth that would correspond to the disruption. We adopt the second as a working hypothesis because the growth of grains is consistent with our observations and has been cited as the cause for the observed changes in the integrated optical depth in the near-IR and the UV. We propose a simple model in which sites for grain nucleation are provided by the chemical interaction of cometary material and the shocked Jovian atmosphere and in which grain growth is restrained by the diminishing availability of raw materials for grain formation on timescales inversely proportional to the original aerosol density. This model, applied to a volumetric power-law distribution of aerosols, can produce an integrated scattering amplitude growth rate closely resembling our observations.

Singapore's Popsical, X-mini partner to create compact karaoke speakers
SINGAPORE: Local tech companies X-mini and Popsical are partnering to create a series of compact karaoke speakers.
The two companies had unveiled a compact speaker catered for karaoke lovers during the recently concluded Consumer Electronics Show at Las Vegas to mark their partnership. They aim to tap on the synergies of X-mini's audio technologies and Popsical's karaoke streaming software, according to a joint press release.
They said the speakers can be controlled "seamlessly" and have features like track request, track list queue and updated seasonal and favourite playlists using the Popsical app. The content is available with a 24-hour subscription package at S$3.99, or a monthly S$9.99 fee.
The device is expected to reach the Singapore market within the first quarter of this year, and will cost S$399. International shipping is expected to take place within the year, they added.
"From this partnership, we are looking to develop a range of karaoke audio products that sound, look and deliver a great karaoke experience in any room," said Mr Faruq Marican, CEO and co-founder of Popsical.
Popsical was part of Mediacorp's Mediapreneur incubation initiative, under which selected digital media start-ups are put through a one-year programme which provides seed funding, mentoring and networking opportunities.

Vincent Chin's Slaying 35 Years Ago Galvanized a Pan-Asian Movement

On the night of June 19, 1982, 27-year-old Vincent Chin was celebrating his bachelor party with friends in a Detroit strip club. He got into an altercation with two white men, and both groups were thrown out. The two men tracked down Chin with the help of a third man and brutally beat him with a baseball bat.
Their reason? They were angry about the state of the U.S. auto industry, and blamed Japanese cars, which were at the time overtaking American models in popularity. They thought Chin was Japanese. He was Chinese American.
Vincent Chin was left in a coma and died four days later, on June 23 — a few days before his scheduled wedding. The two men from the club (one of them swung the bat while the other held Chin) were charged with second-degree murder, but the charge was reduced to manslaughter and neither served any prison time. They were ordered to three years' probation and to pay $3,000 in fines.
A young Asian American journalist, Helen Zia, reported on the killing, then led the efforts to bring federal civil rights charges against the men. In the end, the accused murderers settled a civil suit out of court. Ronald Ebens, the man who beat Chin, was ordered to pay $1.5 million, but Chin's estate has never received payment.
It was national news when it happened, but it's faded from memory for most people. Today, if the tragedy of Vincent Chin's death is remembered, it's in part because of the reporting and subsequent writings of Helen Zia, whose book Asian American Dreams: The Emergence of an American People, published in 2000, chronicled the rallying of the AAPI community in the wake of Chin's killing and also the rise of the community's consciousness through subsequent racial tensions across the U.S.
This week Zia, who now lives in San Francisco and is the executor of Chin's estate (his mother, Lily Chin, died in 2002), is returning to Detroit for a commemoration of Vincent Chin's death.
In an interview, Zia, who's since written a book with Wen Ho Lee, the scientist at Los Alamos who was wrongfully accused of espionage for China, and served as executive editor of Ms. Magazine from 1989 to 1992, is typically modest about the impact of Asian American Dreams.
When asked how she feels about the book being a gateway for a generation of young AAPIs' social justice activism, she says softly, "I don't think that's for me to say. I feel like I was part of a generation of Asian Americans coming of age, of our community.
"We were part of a group that had a critical mass of numbers and saw the voice we could have together," she adds. "I was able to write about that and chronicle that."

Chin's slaying was one spark for the community's coalescing, but it wasn't the sole inspiration for the book, she says. "It was definitely part of a whole feeling that I had, that our stories were not being told. The way I imagined it was that little balloons would pop up occasionally involving an Asian American, then it would pop and disappear. We were blips. It was striking that we were not considered newsworthy at all, that we weren't part of the community."
"Vincent Chin was one of many stories and I saw it from the street level," she says. "I had to tell it just to get it out myself, it was so distressing."
Thanks in part to Zia's efforts, there's more awareness of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, and they have a bigger presence in the media today. "There are more Asian Americans in the news occasionally. We should by now — we're approaching 6 percent of the American population. But much of the news looks at Asian Americans as invaders still, untrustworthy...."
She acknowledges that Chin's legacy today is a wider awareness of hate crimes. "The case opened up civil rights law, broadened it to cover immigrants. I credit that debate and decision to lead to where we are now, with hate crimes laws. I can't even count the number of organizations now that are watchdogs for hate crimes."
"Vincent Chin was killed in a national climate of extreme rhetoric against Japanese or anyone who happened to look Japanese," she notes. "But his death led to the expansion of the justice coalition to include Asian Americans, to say we are all human beings and deserve to be treated with full human dignity."
