The Dismal Performance Of "Super Unicorns"
Posted By: Jacob Wolinsky Sep 5, 2019, 1:43 pm
Whitney Tilson's email to investors discussing the dismal performance of "super unicorns"; WeWork weighs slashing its valuation and its CEO returns $5.9 million; MiMedx battle; The end appears to be near for Mallinckrodt.

1) My colleague Enrique Abeyta shares my skepticism of WeWork (oops, I mean "The We Company") and whether there will be enough suckers (oops, I mean "investors") to allow it to go public. To help answer this question, he shared a cool piece of analysis with me:
I wanted to know how the stocks of other "unicorn" companies that went public in the last few years have done. Rather than the usual definition of unicorn – a company that has achieved at least a $1 billion valuation in a private financing – I looked only at companies that raised at least $1 billion before going public, which I call "super unicorns."
Removing a few Chinese companies, here's the list of the nine companies that made the list: Snap (SNAP), Cloudera (CLDR), Dropbox (DBX), Spotify (SPOT), Pivotal Software (PVTL), SurveyMonkey (SVMK), Lyft (LYFT), Pinterest (PINS), and Uber (UBER).
As you can see from this chart, all but one of them – Pinterest – are down from their closing prices on the first day of trading... And four of them are down more than 35%!
Such dismal performance makes me wonder who's going to buy into the IPO of The We Company, which has far bigger governance and business model issues than any of these companies.
Lastly, check out Chewy (CHWY), which is the new Pets.com. I haven't finished doing the work on it yet, but it seems like a similar set up – and the stock is roughly flat from where it went public less than three months ago.
Happy unicorn hunting!
2) Speaking of The We Company (I chuckle every time I read that stupid name), the Wall Street Journal reports that the company is weighing "slashing its valuation roughly in half to around $20 billion amid IPO skepticism." What a sign of desperation! I continue to believe that this IPO won't get done...
3) WeWork's co-founder and CEO Adam Neumann got so much well-deserved flack for charging the company $5.9 million to use the new name that he's returned the money: WeWork CEO returns $5.9 million the company paid him for 'We' trademark. Excerpt:
WeWork CEO Adam Neumann has returned about $5.9 million worth of stock that was originally paid to him to acquire the trademark "We."
In an amended S-1 filing on Wednesday, WeWork's parent company, the We Company, noted that it was unwinding the agreement "at Adam's direction." The $5.9 million was issued to Neumann after WeWork rebranded to the We Company in January.
4) Speaking of piece-of-crap companies, the end appears to be near for Mallinckrodt (MNK), the scummy company at the center of two outrageous scandals that I've been writing about for years: the opioid crisis and the H.P. Acthar Gel scam. (For more on the latter, see this 60 Minutes story: The problem with prescription drug prices.) Here's an excerpt from BMO Capital's report on it this morning:
We are downgrading MNK to Market Perform as an already challenging situation appears to have taken a turn for the worse. It is being reported that MNK has hired restructuring firms to help manage through its opioid litigation.
While there had been lingering uncertainties with MNK's overall opioid exposure and considerable pressures with key franchise Acthar, we had previously thought it would ultimately be able to navigate through those and that the equity was undervalued.
However, with the rapidly mounting pressures related to the opioid litigation, we can no longer rule out the possibility of bankruptcy.
5) Two quick updates to yesterday's e-mail on Lumber Liquidators (LL) and Brexit:
Lumber Liquidators' founder Tom Sullivan filed an amended 13D showing that he has increased his stake from 6.0% to 7.7%.
The headline says it all: Boris Johnson's Own Brother Resigns in Horror at His Handling of Brexit.
6) Business journalist Joe Nocera recently wrote two columns about the huge battle between biotech company MiMedx (MDXG) and famed short-seller Marc Cohodes: A Short-Seller Goes Too Far to Beat the 'Bullies' and MiMedx Has Changed, But Its Critics Haven't.
I know both Joe and Marc and am a big fan of them both. They're among the best at what they do.
I haven't done the work on MiMedx, so I don't have an opinion on the stock, but I think there are many important lessons to learn here...

THEATRE - BALLYTURK STARRING CILLIAN MURPHY
The last time Cillian Murphy performed at the National Theatre in 2012, it had been six whole years since his previous onstage appearance and I'd had my tickets in hand when my doctor told me that I'd have to get my operation done that week and that there was absolutely no going around it. Naturally at the time I was quite devastated, with no clue as to when the next time I would get to see my favourite actor live in the flesh would be. Ultimately nothing is more important than your health though and now I definitely don't regret a thing. Still, I was waiting for the day that Cillian would return to do theatre. When rumours started circulating that he might again work with playwright Enda Walsh, I was all ears, and when it was officially announced, I don't think I've ever purchased a pair of tickets faster in my life.
On to my thoughts on Ballyturk. If I had only three words to describe it, it would be - absurd, energetic, and uncomfortable. The play was quite cryptic, with the setting described as 'No time. No place' and the three characters simply labelled as number 1, 2, and 3. From what I understood, it was about two brothers (Cillian Murphy & Mikel Murfi) who seem to be confined to one room (the set you see on stage) their entire lives. Every day they fill their time by conjuring up an imaginary town called Ballyturk, drawing and acting out each inhabitant and their activites. Suddenly an ominous, undisclosed, God-like figure (in the form of Stephen Rea) appears and tells them that it's time for one of the brothers to die and it has fallen on themselves to make that decision.
At the start of the play we're immediately thrown into the ridiculous daily activities of brothers 1 & 2 inside this 'room' with zero explanation as to why they're doing the things they're doing. Regardless, the first few scenes were nothing short of spectacular, full of hilarious slapstick comedy and physical action, especially on Cillian's part, it's no wonder he'd said "you get tremendously fit doing an Enda Walsh show." In between all the laughs though, I couldn't help but ponder over the many little questions that kept popping up in my mind and ultimately leading to the big one - what is keeping them in that room? It's all very bizarre without context, and I struggled to follow it calmly especially since I'm someone who usually thrives on logic. I heard someone say afterwards that this is a play to be experienced, not watched, and I have to whole-heartedly agree.
Somehow it got even stranger when character number 3 was introduced (what an entrance it was, might I say), and unfortunately this was also when the whole thing started going a little downhill for me. I see that this play was not written to be perceived solely in any particular way and the audience will take many a different meaning from it but when the monologues started rolling in, no matter how deep and profound they were, it's difficult to concentrate and fully appreciate them when there is nothing really very clear to back them up. If it's taken me a couple of days to make this much sense of it, I most definitely had very little to no clue only halfway through the play. Perhaps a second viewing would benefit me or if I had more brains to figure things out earlier, but I feel like if I was confused, surely others must have been too right? I noticed more than a few people actually leave the theatre around this time.
Despite this, the acting was downright phenomenal. Cillian and Mikel have some pretty magical chemistry together and bounce off one another really well. I also think this may be Cillian's best performance to date (bearing in mind I have only seen his film and television work aside from this), the energy he brings is unlike anything I've ever witnessed before. In truth it's like he's playing a character who in turn is playing other characters in the story and I thought that was a pretty impressive feat. More so there are moments of sheer vulnerability that will absolutely break your heart. Even though I'm still uncertain what I make of Ballyturk, I'm glad I got the chance to experience it. It may seem nonsensical but I think if you chip away at it, there's something truly one of a kind there, you just have to get over the initial shock of not understanding and let it be. I'm also going to see it once more in October so perhaps that will give me the opportunity to make a more conclusive opinion and sort out my current state of bewilderment.
Ballyturk is at the National Theatre South Bank, London until the 11th of October.

Oh dear, a nonsensical play would just absolutely completely frustrate me. I would probably ponder for days trying to make heads and tails of it. And then I'll probably look at every single google entry on it so I can satisfy my need for logic. I hope the second time round for you would resolve some queries you had previously. It definitely sounds like a mind provoking play. x A.
I've seen Ballyturk four times now, and I still don't 'understand' it as such! But I think you have to understand it with your gut and your emotions rather than your mind. Also, if you can, get hold of a copy of Enda's 'Plays 2'
and read 'My Friend Duplicity', it definitely sheds some light on some of the themes in Ballyturk.
Andini Ria 27 September 2014 at 13:45
Ooh will definitely check them out, thanks! x
Ahh so lucky I tried to get tickets but it was all sold out! Sounds very strange, I saw his last one the one-man show and it was equally confusing, but he's brilliant!

Story Behind the Story
Napoleon's Family Tree
How Pauline Bonaparte Lived for Pleasure
Pauline Bonaparte by Robert Lefèvre, 1806
A commoner from Corsica who counted a famous French actor among her lovers, bathed in milk baths to which she was carried by a servant, and married a wealthy Italian prince could be said to have led a rather fortunate life. Pauline Bonaparte's journey from rags to riches would not have been possible without her older brother Napoleon. Known for her beauty, impulsiveness and frivolity, Pauline loved Napoleon and was the least demanding of his siblings.
A spoiled child
Pauline Bonaparte was born in Ajaccio, Corsica on October 20, 1780. The sixth child in the Bonaparte family, she was 11 years younger than Napoleon (see Napoleon's family tree). Napoleon later said that he and Pauline had been the spoiled children of the family. Responsibility was not Pauline's strong suit. She received no formal education and had zero intellectual leanings. Her interests were frivolous. She was a great flirt, and took enormous pride in her appearance, particularly her pale skin and lovely hands and feet (Napoleon, too, was proud of his delicately shaped hands).
Marriage to General Leclerc
Although Pauline wanted to marry someone else, Napoleon arranged for her to wed French officer Victoire Leclerc.
General Bonaparte was working in his room at Milan; Leclerc was on the staff and took advantage of a screen to express his love for Pauline in rather too unceremonious a fashion. General Bonaparte hears a noise, gets up and sees. The marriage was celebrated without losing a moment. (1)
Whether or not this is true, Pauline and Leclerc were married on June 14, 1797. They had a son, Dermide, on April 20, 1798. Napoleon named the boy after a hero in his favourite epic, Ossian.
In 1801, Napoleon appointed Leclerc Governor-General of Saint-Domingue (present-day Haiti) and sent him to put down a rebellion there. Pauline and Dermide went too. Though Pauline was not pleased about living so far from Europe, she made the best of it. She took numerous lovers and started a menagerie of native animals. But all in all, it was a miserable stay. The uprising continued. The French were struck with yellow fever. The entire family became ill, and Leclerc died on November 2, 1802. Pauline and Dermide returned to France with his remains.
Marriage to Prince Borghese
Wanting to consolidate ties with French-occupied Italy, Napoleon found Pauline another husband in the form of Prince Camillo Borghese, a wealthy Roman nobleman who turned out to be as shallow and feckless as she was. They married on August 28, 1803. Pauline's lack of seriousness, apparent disdain for her husband, and hints of infidelity did not go down well with the Romans. Napoleon wrote to her on April 6, 1804:
Madame and Dear Sister, – I have learned with pain that you have not the good sense to conform to the manners and customs of the city of Rome; that you show contempt for the inhabitants, and that your eyes are unceasingly turned towards Paris. Although occupied with vast affairs I nevertheless desire to make known my wishes, and I hope that you will conform to them.
Love your husband and his family, be amiable, accustom yourself to the usages of Rome, and put this in your head, that if you follow bad advice you will no longer be able to count upon me. You may be sure that you will find no support in Paris, and that I shall never receive you there without your husband. If you quarrel with him it will be your fault, and France will be closed to you. You will sacrifice your happiness and my esteem. (2)
Pauline's health continued to trouble her. Borghese suggested that they visit the baths of Pisa. Pauline wanted to bring Dermide, but her husband advised against it. Instead the six-year-old stayed with Borghese's brother. On August 14, 1804, in Pauline's absence, the boy died of fever and convulsions. Pauline blamed Borghese for Dermide's death. She wrote to Napoleon:
The blow has been so severe. Despite summoning all my courage, I find no strength to withstand it. My health is altered visibly and my husband is so alarmed he wants to take me to France, hoping that the change of air, and the pleasure of being near you, will be beneficial… Paris at this moment, where all is rejoicing, is not the place for a soul as sad as mine. In all other circumstances it would have been a great pleasure for me to witness your coronation, but fate pursues me in too cruel a manner to allow me such enjoyment. (3)
In the end Pauline attended Napoleon's coronation, though she objected to having to hold the train of Josephine's dress. She disliked both Josephine and Napoleon's second wife, Marie Louise.
In 1806 Napoleon made Pauline Bonaparte Borghese the Princess and Duchess of Guastalla, in Italy. A wag said, "It is small, no doubt, but even a molehill is too much for the Princess Borghese to administer." (4) Pauline soon sold the duchy to Parma for six million francs, keeping only the title of Princess.
Borghese commissioned a well-known statue of Pauline by the most famous Italian sculptor of the time, Antonio Canova. She decided to pose nude as Venus Victrix, thus appalling her husband. When someone asked whether she was uncomfortable being naked before the artist, Pauline replied, "Ah, but there was a fire in the room." (5)

How contemporaries viewed Pauline Bonaparte
The poet Antoine Arnault said Pauline Bonaparte had:
No more deportment than a schoolgirl, talking inconsequentially, laughing at nothing and at everything, she contradicted the most serious people and put out her tongue at her sister-in-law when Josephine wasn't looking. She nudged my knee when I didn't pay enough attention to her rattling on and attracted to herself from time to time those ferocious glances with which her brother recalled the most intractable men to order…. [S]he had no principles and was likely to do the right thing only by caprice. (6)
Clemens von Metternich, who got to know Pauline Bonaparte when he was Austria's ambassador to Paris, wrote:
Pauline was as handsome as it is possible to be; she was in love with herself, and her only occupation was pleasure. Of amiable character and extreme good-nature, Napoleon entertained a different sentiment for her from that with which he regarded the rest of his family. 'Pauline,' he has often told me, 'Pauline never asks me for anything.' The Princess Borghese, on her side, used to say, 'I do not care for crowns; if I had wished for one, I should have had it; but I left that taste to my relations.' She had a veneration for Napoleon which almost amounted to worship. (7)
Later, King Louis XVIII's friend Madame du Cayla was asked about Pauline by Caroline, Princess of Wales. Du Cayla said:
'[S]he has as much grace as beauty and is a perfect nymph in size and figure.' Caroline replied, 'A nymph, but not quite a vestal?' 'Good heaven! Madam,' returned du Cayla, 'the world is very wicked: the Princess Pauline has too much merit not to have adorers. She may have distinguished, perhaps, two or three, and twenty or thirty are charged upon her.' (8)
With Napoleon in exile
Pauline Bonaparte did not have a happy marriage, but – like her brother Louis – she stayed in it at Napoleon's insistence. Prince Borghese's wealth and title came in handy. Though the two remained married, they lived separately. When Napoleon was exiled to Elba in 1814, Pauline liquidated her assets and joined him there. She was the only one of Napoleon's siblings to do so. Pauline became the life and soul of Napoleon's entourage and generously helped him meet his expenses. Napoleon's valet Louis Étienne Saint-Denis wrote of Pauline on Elba:
Her person, from what could be seen, had all the beautiful proportions of the Venus di Medici. Nothing was lacking to her but a little youth, for the skin of her face was beginning to be wrinkled, but the few defects which resulted from age disappeared under a slight coating of cosmetic which gave more animation to her pretty features. Her eyes were charming and very lively, her teeth were admirable, and her hands and feet were of the most perfect model. She always dressed most carefully, and in the style of a young girl of eighteen. She always said that she was ill, out of sorts; when she had to go up or down stairs she had herself carried on a square of red velvet having a stick with handles on each side, and yet if she was at a ball she danced like a woman who enjoys very good health. She dined with the Emperor and he liked to tease and poke fun at her. One evening she was so angry with what the Emperor had said to her that she rose from table and went away with tears in her eyes. The irritation did not last long, for the Emperor went up to see her that evening or the next morning and the little feeling of annoyance quickly disappeared. (9)
Last years in Rome
Although Pauline wanted to join Napoleon in France for his "Hundred Days" return to power in 1815, she was detained by the Austrians in Italy. After Napoleon's defeat at the Battle of Waterloo and subsequent exile to St. Helena, Pauline moved to Rome. This is where we find her in Napoleon in America, along with her mother Letizia, her brothers Louis and Lucien, and her uncle Joseph Fesch. She had an apartment in the Palazzo Borghese. She also acquired a villa, dubbed the Villa Paolina (Paulina), which is now the French Embassy to the Holy See. She had the building and gardens extensively renovated. The Villa became renowned for Pauline's hospitality, taste and splendour. She received many distinguished visitors and every week played hostess to a spectacular ball, concert, soiree or play.
In 1820, Elizabeth Patterson Bonaparte (the American ex-wife of Napoleon's youngest brother, Jerome) wrote to her father regarding Pauline.
She is about thirty-seven years of age, the handsomest woman in Europe of her age, excessively luxurious, consequently expensive in her habits, said to be extremely capricious in her attachments… [S]he occupies a superb palace, receives the homage of all strangers of distinction: pleasure is the sole pursuit in Italy. Her modes of existence are magnificent, although capricious and spoiled by adulation, which in a beautiful woman and a princess is very natural. They say she is good au fond. (10)
Pauline continued to succumb to bouts of ill health. She also fretted about Napoleon and hoped to secure his release or to join him in exile. On July 11, 1821, she wrote to British Prime Minister Lord Liverpool:
The disease to which [Napoleon] is a victim is fatal at St. Helena, and it is in the name of all the members of the Emperor's family that I demand of the English Government a change of climate for him. If so reasonable a request is met with a refusal it will be equivalent to passing a death sentence, and in this case I ask leave to set out for St. Helena, to go and rejoin the Emperor, in order to minister to him in his last moments. (11)
News had not yet reached Rome that Napoleon had died on May 5th.
Pauline's health worsened. In 1824, she prevailed upon the Pope to help her reconcile with Borghese, who had been living in Florence with a mistress. She spent her final months with her husband, dying on June 9, 1825, at the age of 44. The cause of death was given as a tumor on the stomach. Pauline Bonaparte Borghese is buried at the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome.

Lally says:
Another fascinating blog. I am in awe of your extraordinary depth of research and your ability to create such a complete picture of each individual you write about, you really bring history alive, thank you!
Shannon Selin says:
Thank you, Lally! They really are a fascinating set of characters. It's hard to do them justice in a short article.
N.Sibery says:
I was introduced to the lady by Canova.
That is a splendid introduction!
Bob Fletcher says:
Canova's statue of Pauline reclining is in the Borghese Gallery in Rome. I have a miniature. A plaster cast of her breast is in the Rome Museo Napoleonica. Canova actually had some comments about her that I read in Italy.
Thanks, Bob. I didn't know about the cast of her breast. I'll have to look up those comments – I imagine Canova had some interesting things to say about Pauline.
Pluto says:
I'm so happy to have found your blog! I really like Napoleon and everything related to him. Just some days ago, I came across memoirs and many books about him, which I'm planning to read after my exams.
Thanks for the info 😀
If you have some books to recommend, please do so.
Thanks. I'm glad you're enjoying the blog. In terms of books, Napoleon by Felix Markham (1963) is a good basic biography. In the memoirs department, Betsy Balcombe's Recollections of the Emperor Napoleon During the First Three Years of his Captivity on the Island of St. Helena is a fun read, and it's available for free on the Internet Archive: https://archive.org/details/recollectionsofe00abeliala. Ditto for Napoleon from the Tuileries to St. Helena by Louis Étienne Saint-Denis: https://archive.org/details/napoleonfromtui00pottgoog.
Mrs. Annette says:
Had more fun, and actually remembered I had been in Paris, FR. and saw memorials of the French NB. Sort of shivered for fear that France might again come up with such a character and create a New France governing all of of the EU. My husband is from The Netherlands and would establish a military and propaganda to keep France and NB from rising to such lengths. Just a silly note.
I did and always enjoy insight into French history, and first came to read of it in fairy tales and Marie Antoinette's life in a children's Encyclopedia.
This blog was well thought out and well written, so I do favor information updates on French history and unusual folk. thanks atk
Thanks! I'm glad you liked the blog.
J. David Markham says:
As always, you do a really great job with your blog! As to the cast of Pauline's breast, it is indeed in Rome. And some years ago I went to an exhibition at the Louvre and in the gift shop you could buy a silver cup in the shape of her breast–for 1000 Euros! I passed but have regretted it since.
Thanks, David! "Don't give up until you drink from the silver cup" comes to mind.
Michel Didier says:
Fine blog. I wrote an article on Elise last year and am currently writing one on Pauline. It is said that when Paganini left Elisa's court, he enjoyed a one night fling with Pauline at Stupinigi castle outside Turin. Did you find any evidence or reference on that?
Also, I am quite curious about Pauline possessing an art collection, and giving art and architecture commissions, apart from portraits of course.
Thanks, Michel. Flora Fraser, in her biography of Pauline (Venus of Empire), writes that "according to local legend," Paganini and Pauline enjoyed a "forest idyll" together at Stupinigi. I don't know anything about Pauline's art collection (apart from the Borghese family collection), or what art she may have commissioned on her own.
By the way, the Villa Paolina is the French embassy to the Holy See, not to the Italian Republic.
Thanks for the correction, Michel. I've updated the post.
Ole Thronborg says:
Interesting blog. I own a miniature painting 12×16 cm of Pauline signed by Lefèvre. My picture is the same pose but different clothes, she doesn't show here ******. I think it's quite old because the backside is some old Latin written paper and the frame is bone or shell.
Thanks, Ole. Your painting sounds exquisite.
Good to learn he had a loyal and faithful sibling. Most of the time he was disappointed or disapproving of his family.
Thanks, Joseph. Yes, it's nice that Pauline remained loyal to Napoleon even in defeat.
Melsia Tomlin-Kraftner says:
Have you got a book on Paulina or articles I can reference?
I am very interested in her for my study.
There are a couple of good books about Pauline: Venus of Empire: The Life of Pauline Bonaparte, by Flora Fraser; and Pauline Bonaparte and Her Lovers, by Hector Fleischmann. The latter is available for free on the Internet Archive: https://archive.org/details/paulinebonaparte00fleirich/page/n6.

An interesting collection of insights into the life of Pauline. Incidentally, when she liquidised her assets after the fall of Napoleon in 1814, her Parisian townhouse in the Faubourg Saint Honoré, was bought by the British Government, along with its entire contents, in cash! The Duke of Wellington became Ambassador to France and the first incumbent in what was the first permanent British Embassy building in Paris. Most of the furniture survives and is in use everyday. There is also Pauline's breast cup on display, made by Odiot, as well as several copies of Canovas's Venus and a large version of Robert Lefèvre's portrait. I live and work in the building and have lived in Pauline's shadow for almost 40 years!
Thanks, Ben. It's great that Pauline's townhouse has been put to good use, and that so much remains from her time there.
Pauline was as handsome as it is possible to be; she was in love with herself, and her only occupation was pleasure.

These stones can be used to sharpen most sculptor's tools. The large concave stones sharpen the outside edges; the small convex stones sharpen inside edges. The illustration at the upper left shows how a stone is used. Sharpening motion is eliptical, i.e., back-and-forth and side-to-side simultaneously. Using the stone in this manner has the advantage that much larger tools may be sharpened than the size of the groove indicates.


I think the best practice is to store the video/image/mp3 (any files) on the server itself, and then store the filename or path in the database. For datatype, you can use VARCHAR.
I recommend like @moeko . But if you want to save data at database , you can convert to baes64 and save like a string. But I am not recommend because your database size will effect for unnecessary data.

Acids and bases are chemical compounds that have distinctive properties in water solution. The sour taste of a lemon, lime, or grapefruit, for example, is caused by citric acid. The slippery feel of ammonia, a common base, is characteristic of all bases. One of the most interesting properties of acids and bases is the way they react with indicators. An indicator is a material that changes color in the presence of an acid or a base. For instance, the hydrangea flower can be either pink or blue, depending on the amount of acid or base present in the soil in which it is planted.
Since the time of Arrhenius, chemists have adopted other ways of defining acids and bases. In 1923, English chemist Thomas Lowry (1874–1936) and Danish chemists J. N. Brønsted (1879–1947) and N. Bjerrum (1879–1958) suggested defining acids as chemicals that donate a proton (specifically H + ) in a chemical reaction and bases as chemicals that accept a proton. This definition is slightly more comprehensive than Arrhenius's definition and, in many cases, more useful to chemists.
Another definition of acids and bases was suggested in 1923 by American chemist Gilbert Newton Lewis (1875–1946). According to Lewis, an acid could be thought of as any compound that accepts a pair of electrons from another substance; bases, on the other hand, could be thought of as compounds that donate a pair of electrons.
Most acids and bases fit all three of these definitions, but some are covered by only one or both of the more modern definitions.
One of the most important characteristics of acids and bases is their strength. The strength of an acid or base depends on the number of hydrogen ions or hydroxide ions produced in water solution. For example, suppose that 100 molecules of an acid are added to water. Of those 100 molecules, imagine that 99 release hydrogen ions. That acid is said to be a strong acid. In comparison, suppose that 100 molecules of a second acid release only 10 hydrogen ions in water. That acid is said to be a weak acid.
Examples of strong acids are hydrochloric acid (HCl), sulfuric acid (H 2 SO 4 ), and nitric acid (HNO 3 ). Among the best-known strong bases are sodium hydroxide (NaOH), potassium hydroxide (KOH), and calcium hydroxide (CaOH 2 ). The weak acids include acetic acid (HC 2 H 3 O 2 ), lactic acid (CH 3 CHOHCOOH), and oxalic acid (H 2 C 2 O 4 ). The most familiar weak base is ammonia (NH 3 ).
This process is known as neutralization.
Neutralization has many practical applications. For example, agricultural land is often too acidic or too basic to grow certain crops. Farmers can add either a weak acid or a weak base to produce the level of acidity or basicity in which various plants grow best. Reclamation (restoration) of land once used for mining also involves neutralization reactions. Such land is often too acidic for plants to grow. Treating the land with calcium oxide neutralizes acids remaining in the soil and restores its fertility.
Neutralization is also used to deal with environmental problems. Gases produced in factories, power generating plants, and other industrial facilities are usually acidic. When they escape into the air, they react with water to form acid rain. Scrubbers that contain bases can be attached to the inside of smokestacks in such plants to neutralize acids in escaping gases. Treatment with acids or bases is also used to neutralize hazardous chemicals produced by a variety of manufacturing operations.
Acids and bases can be found everywhere in the world around us. Lactic acid occurs in sour milk, citric acid in citrus fruits, oxalic acid in rhubarb, malic acid in apples, and tartaric acid in wine. Baking soda, antacids, and lye all contain bases.
Acids and bases are also used widely in industry. Three of the top ten chemicals produced in the United States each year are acids or bases. In 1994, 40 billion kilograms (or about 90 billion pounds) of sulfuric acid were manufactured in the United States, making it the number one chemical in the chemical industry. In addition, 12 billion kilograms (about 26 billion pounds) of sodium hydroxide and 11 billion kilograms (about 25 billion pounds) of phosphoric acid were produced.
The most important single use of acids and bases is in the manufacture of other chemicals. Fertilizers, synthetic fabrics, pigments, petroleum, iron and steel, explosives, dyes, plastics, pesticides, soaps and detergents, paper, film, and many other chemicals are produced from acids and bases. They are also used for various other purposes, including cleaning surfaces, refining oil and sugar, electroplating metals, and treating food products.
This is really good information and it is good for school!
very good info for school. i enjoyed it. it really made things more clear to me than they were before.
Great information but I think it could use a little more examples of the kinds of acids and bases.
What are the beneficial and harmful effects of the characteristics of acids and bases??
Can you tell me more about what acids and bases can be found in the human body?

New single "I Am" by Van Hechter is #1 on MTV USA and the message is "Dare to be yourself no matter what anyone says"
New single "I Am" by Van Hechter is #1 on MTV USA and the message is "Dare to be yourself no matter what anyone says"! The idea for the song came when singer/songwriter Van Hechter sat down and wrote (on a napkin) what he liked best about himself- and what he felt were his shortcomings –without sugar coating… The result is a very lucid and unapologetic self-portrait sung with intensity and warmth laying on a neo 80's pop beat with elements of soul and funk thrown in to make us dance… "I Am" is a very fresh, stylish tune, perfect for the summer of 2021… When asked why he's written such a song at this stage, his answer was; "Because I am going through some of the most exhilarating years of my life- trepidation, passion, heartbreak turning into deep joy within days… It's fabulous, it's surreal, and I want to remember what I am going through at the moment… All that's happening to right me now is the result of having stubbornly followed my instincts and ideas when everybody was telling me I was a fool to do so. Yet here I am, years later, actually living exactly the way I'd imagined. I truly believe we should all dare to be ourselves even if that means being unpopular. Don't conform to what doesn't feel right. We all know deep down, what we're meant to do or be"…

Video – Lay Me Good
August 1st, 2018 on SCORE VIDEOS
Camille Morgan told us how she came to The SCORE Group. "I have a friend who said to me, 'Why don't you model?' And I had done some modeling in music videos, and he said, 'No, breast modeling.' He told me about SCORE, and we went to the website (BeASCOREModel.com), and I saw the video with Gianna Rossi talking about what SCORE does."
Camille did a video and seven solo layouts at first. But Camille Morgan wasn't ready to try full-sex with a man. She just wasn't up for a real hook-u. But things change and Camille once again re-connected with SCORE. This time, the Jersey girl was prepared to go sexin' all the way. And that's exactly the name of the game in "Lay Me Good."
Exotic hostess Camille greets a new guest at the Caribbean resort she works for. Looking very tropical herself, dressed to thrill in a skimpy bikini and a lei around her neck, Camille enters his room bearing a gift tray of fruit. "On behalf of Eazy-Breezy Getaways, I would like to welcome you to our island," Camille says, taking the lei off her shoulders and placing it over his neck. Camille tells him about the attractions on the island, including the nude beach. "I would recommend Randy Hideaway. We're very liberal on this island. We're comfortable with our bodies."
Camille Morgan stands up and takes the lei off. Her beautiful figure is astonishing and her huge natural tits are a jaw-dropping sight. She quickly drops both the bikini top and bottom to show him how they do it at Randy Hideaway. Her guest quickly sheds his clothes, too. "Do you mind if I have a bite of your banana?" Camille asks. Camille mouths the banana like it's a cock. A taste of things to cum. Her guest begins savoring her pointy nipples, squeezing her natural melons. They are succulent. Camille Morgan substitutes her banana for his banana. She goes down deep. What a friendly island. Video Sample
Video – Double Header
May 10th, 2017 on PORN MEGA LOAD
Camille Morgan appeared twice on the reality dating show Elimidate. She did two episodes; the regular one, which she won, and a celebrity Elimidate.
Camille worked as a bus driver for six months. It's true. "Greyhound was hiring," Camille told us. "So I went, and I got hired, and I went to Richmond, Virginia for a month and trained every day. I had to take tests every day. It was one of the hardest things I've ever done. The passengers didn't really trust me. They were like, 'Who's the bus driver?' and I'd say, 'I am,' and they'd say, 'Is anybody else coming with you?' and I'd say, 'No.' And they'd be like, 'Are you sure you're old enough to drive?' So they really didn't trust me, and they'd sit the whole ride and watch me and make sure everything was alright."
"I'm boring!" Camille Morgan claimed. Boring? We found this statement impossible to believe. "I masturbate sometimes. I just massage myself and rub my breasts. I usually don't use toys. I've never had a sex fling with another girl. When I first posed for SCORE, I hadn't had sex with a man in six months. A friend told me about SCORE, and we went to the website, and I saw the video with Gianna talking about what SCORE does."
Camille made a lot of rap videos before she got into nude modeling. "I was a model in the background. I wasn't getting paid enough. It's like nine hours of work and you get paid like two, three hundred bucks. It's not worth it, so I just said the heck with it and concentrated on school."
Camille Morgan is the classic example of a model who did solos only and then a few years later, changed her mind about hardcore. It was also a surprise that she agreed to fuck two guys in a threesome. Her explanation before her XXX scenes was, "Before, I wasn't into it. I'm a procrastinator."
All good things come to those who wait. Not always but many times. Camille Morgan is the proof. Video Sample

"[Laughs.] Oh, man. Yes, I did. I was telling you guys that I wanted you to beat my cakes up. I remember. It was the January '11 issue. Now I am back to say, 'Eat my cake!'"
And by your cake you mean eat…
"I mean that a guy should pull down my panties and pull my booty open and bury his tongue in my ass. That's what I mean by eat my cake. Salad tossing. I like guys who are into that. The kind of men that want me to park my fat ass on their faces and ride them until I cum. Men who want to be smothered by my ass, those are the guys who really eat pussy well."
Is that why you're all oiled up? To sit on a face?
"Well, I'm oiled up so that I can get my thighs and ass massaged by a pair of strong hands. I absolutely love hands all over my body. When a massage can lead to sex, it's my favorite. That's the best of both worlds." Photo Samples
Video – Camille Morgan's First XXX
October 28th, 2011 on SCORELAND
Camille Morgan became a SCORE Girl in Holiday '07, the last issue of the year. We asked her back then what she thought was her better feature, her boobs or her butt. "I think the majority of guys like my breasts," Camille Morgan told us. "I mean, I don't ask them, but my breasts seem to get the most attention. I think my butt is nice, but my breasts are huge!" Camille's tits were 34 triple-D at the time. Seven pictorials and one video later, now an alumnus, Camille is back at SCORE. She's earned her degree in sociology and psychology (Congratulations, Camille) and she's returned to finally try her first boy-girl scene, giving SCORELAND the honor of her video cherry. We'd asked her before about going all the way but Camille was hesitant about fucking on film. So we never counted on her ever saying yes. But things change. What changed her play book and made her cum around? "I changed my mind," Camille Morgan explains. "Before, I wasn't into it. Now I think it'll be fun. It took me three years. I'm a procrastinator. I thought about it. But once I make my mind up about something, I just do it. I wanted to be exclusive to SCORE. You guys made me feel at home the first time I was here so I want to just keep it in the family. I thought it would be a lot of fun." Camille Morgan might be the first SCORE Girl to continue to keep the conversation going while she's sucking her partner's cock. Her tit-fucking is very impressive too. The way she backs it up hard and fast while getting drilled from behind, tits swinging, is also a thing of beauty. Welcome to The Big, Big Show, Camille Morgan. Video Sample
Photo – Birthday Cakes
January 12th, 2011 on BOOTYLICIOUS MAG
Welcome back to BootyLicious, Camille! Whose birthday is it?
"No, it's not a real birthday cake! Cakes are what I call my ass cheeks. I like it when I bend over and tell a guy to beat my cakes up. That's how I ask to be fucked really hard from behind."
When we saw you in the Feb. '08 issue, you were a fulltime student and part time model…
"Right and I graduated, too! Now, I work in an office during the day, but I still model here and there. Just for fun. Mostly, modeling is a way for me to feel sexy and to be a little bit naughty. I think I can have a career and model, too."
Since you still model, do you have any plans to do XXX any time soon?
"I have thought about it a lot because I have made a lot of home pornos with boyfriends and shooting them made me really horny. I like being watched and I like watching myself being fucked later on. It might be something that I would be open to if I found the right guy to shoot it with." Photo Samples

How Technology Fits Into Modern Workspace Design
Merging Technology and Workspace Design
Technology is the perfect complement to physical meeting areas — an idea that full-service office furniture dealer Business Office Systems (BOS) likes to promote to its customers. Toward that end, last spring the company hosted an event at its Roselle, Ill., showroom to showcase how technology fits into modern workspace design.
Incorporating technology into office space design isn't always how BOS has done things in the more than 70 years it has been in business. But having recognized the need, it responded by creating a Workspace Digital division, which combines design consultancy services with furniture and technology procurement to help clients align and maximize their physical and digital spaces, BOS CMO George Lucas Pfeiffer said at the event.
"Technology is worthless if no one is using it," he said. "That's why we love dynamic technology and an agile approach to design."
Through its Workspace Digital program, BOS works with technology partners to show customers the kinds of things they can do in office environments and how they can best use their space. And because work, technology, and workspace trends are constantly changing, BOS puts a strong emphasis on adaptability in its designs. Designs must be adaptable because workspace needs will be different in two to three years, Pfeiffer said.
The event provided a good look at how the physical and digital are coming together in modern workspaces. Page through this slideshow to get a better understanding of how to bridge these two worlds.
Editor's note: This slideshow originally appeared on our sister site, No Jitter
Looking at Space Elements
Modern offices comprise many different types of spaces, for varying purposes. For a large presentation room like the one shown above, lots of different components come into consideration. To start, for a room of this size, acoustics can be tricky to get right. Many companies use acoustic felt, but it doesn't have to be plastered on the wall in boring sheets — it can be its own form of art. For example, the red pattern against the far wall is acoustic felt, as are the red hanging grid discs.
Lighting is also important in any room design. In fact, according to Pfeiffer, more enterprises today are focusing on employee wellbeing by working to ensure they have access to natural light in workspaces. And ceiling lights, as the above slide shows, don't need to be traditional canned lights or fluorescents. Lighting can be another way to inject some artistic design into any workspace.
Walls are another factor. Trendy modular glass walls, for example, can create acoustic headaches. And of course, furniture placement and room layout impacts lighting and acoustics as well, so it's important to know how all these elements fit together and impact one another.
Ideating with Flexibility
At the event, BOS showcased several technology partners. One such partner, Bluescape, a collaborative workspace company borne out of office furniture maker Haworth in 2013, demoed its immersive ideation system. When placed on a stand with wheels, a Bluescape ideation system is movable from one meeting or presentation room to another — providing that adaptability aspect Pfeiffer referenced.
The ideation system Bluescape showcased at the event featured a webcam for video calls with remote meeting participants and a touchscreen display. The PC component was tucked away on the back of the display so there were no separate boxes or cables to manage.
Bringing Workspace Signage into the Digital Realm
Signage is important in any enterprise, helping businesses to promote their culture, welcome guests, and communicate with their employees and office visitors. Signage is also useful for branding and customizing a space.
By going the digital signage route, businesses can be just as adaptable as the spaces they're working to design. A business can regularly swap out the messaging on digital signage so whatever is most important at the moment is on display.
Many modern ideation and conferencing room systems allow their displays' use as digital signage when no meeting is in progress. This allows for cost-effective technology investments with assets that serve a dual purpose. As Pfeiffer said, it's not so much about what technology brands you use, but how you use the products.
Upgrading the Boardroom
While collaboration systems like the wall-mounted display in this slide are part of a modern meeting room, they're not the only technology consideration.
Room design must effectively account for speakers and mics so that no matter where an individual might be in the room, they can participate in the meeting. You also want to make sure that remote participants can hear everything everyone is saying.
Another interesting consideration for the modern boardroom revolves around incorporating technology into the furniture. For example, in the room pictured above, the table features embedded wireless charging areas, from ChargeSpot. These allow participants to charge their phone and tablet devices during a meeting without needing to plug in.
While modular glass walls make acoustics more challenging to manage, they do enable a business to change room sizes as needed.
Hopping in the Phone Booth
As modern workspaces continue to move toward open office design, the need for huddle spaces grows. Framery, showcased at the event, creates pods, or phone booths, that provide private spaces for open office environments, as shown above. In fact, the founders came up with the idea for the company based on their work experience: Two coded all day, while the third was constantly on the phone and disrupting their work. The two coders jokingly told him he should go to the North Pole to take his calls, and he countered: "Make me a phone booth."
Framery designed the pods, which feature custom furniture that includes a power outlet built into the table, to let natural light through glass walls. The pods aren't completely soundproof, but when sitting inside one, most of the outside noise is blocked out. Framery wants just enough sound to come through so that you're not entirely cut off from the environment around you, but enough of the sound blocked to allow you to focus on your call or meeting. Acoustic felt lines the walls so you're not sitting in an echo chamber, and each pod has lighting and fans for ventilation.
The Q model is suitable for two people, while the larger Q2 pod accommodates a table and five people and the O pod is for one person.
Visualizing in VR
Technology can come in handy when working on workspace designs, too. BOS, for example, uses Yulio virtual reality technology to demo room designs to clients. The Yulio platform enables designers to share their ideas in an immersive way. They can upload their designs into the platform and virtually walk clients through the different components, annotating on top of them in real time.
Yulio's platform enables remote demos, using a webcam and built-in communications capabilities.
Freeing Up Some Space
Especially for larger office buildings, finding open rooms for employees to gather for collaborative work or meetings can be somewhat tricky. But sensor technology and the Internet of Things is changing the game. At the event, BOS showcased one of its Workspace Digital partners working in this area, Freespace by Workplace Fabric.
Freespace sensors monitor room occupancy and employee engagement. Via a digital display, as shown in the above picture, employees and other office visitors can get a look at which meeting areas are open for use and which are occupied. Businesses can then run analytics on this Freespace data to better understand how space is being used. If the data shows that a large conference room is rarely used but an open collaboration space is always busy, for example, the business could make design changes and adapt the space to better suit needs, Pfeiffer explained.
While it's easy to think about the impact of larger office investments like seating, walls, and technology, don't forget about the finer details. Little things can have a big impact on how employees feel in a space, which in turn impacts their productivity levels.
In the BOS space, for example, the building's windows feature displays showing some of the designs the team is working on, as seen in the upper-left corner. From inside the building, however, you can't even tell anything is on the windows because the signage is on special perforated material that's designed not to be visible from the inside and to let in natural light.
In the top-right corner of the above slide, there's a plant. A cutesy sign on it reads, "Hi! I look forward to helping purify your air every day!" This is another element that serves a dual purpose — the plant purifies the air and it serves as a design element by bringing some fresh greenery into the workspace, which can help boost employee mood.
Finally, stretching across the bottom of the slide is a large mural that BOS has in the center of its showroom. To BOS, it signifies the company's commitment to helping businesses find their path through the forest. Details like this can help reinforce company culture and goals. In fact, all these little details can make a big difference to the employees working in the space, Pfeiffer said.

CSA Group Releases First Canadian Nuclear Emergency Management Program Standard
CSA Group, a leading standards development, testing and certification organization, has released Canada's first national standard on nuclear emergency management programs that addresses all components of emergency management, with a specific focus on preparedness, response, and recovery. This new standard is particularly unique in its requirement for the development of recovery plans for both the community and the nuclear power plant. CSA N1600-14, General Requirements for Nuclear Emergency Management Programs was drafted and published in only 17 months and made available to the public on May 26, 2014.
One of the key drivers behind the development of the new standard was a recommendation made by the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission's (CNSC) Fukushima Task Force to further enhance the safety of nuclear power plants (NPPs) in Canada by developing a dedicated document on emergency management. This resulted in an opportunity for all stakeholders and levels of government to work collaboratively on a new CSA Standard by building upon existing applicable standards and regulation. CSA N1600 establishes criteria for the emergency management programs to address nuclear emergencies at Canadian nuclear power plants. The standard covers both on-site and off-site organizations and provides criteria on how to develop, implement, evaluate, maintain and continuously improve a nuclear emergency management program.
"CSA Group's new nuclear standard is a first of its kind in Canada," said Bonnie Rose, President Standards, CSA Group. "This standard was the result of input from all levels of government, owners and operators of nuclear power plants, first responders, emergency management professionals, and not-for-profit organizations. It was truly a cooperative effort, and CSA Group is proud to be leading the development of new, cutting-edge standards that will make Canadians safer."
In order to complete the new standard in the short timeframe, the committee members met for the equivalent of 20 days, covered more than 230 action items, considered over 290 public comments and created a total of seven working drafts prior to the publication of the final document. The committee ended up completing the standard one month earlier than their target of 18 months. Like all CSA Group standards, CSA N1600 is a living document and continuously undergoes revisions. The committee will begin meeting again in September 2014, to begin a new edition to the standard, which will further enhance the existing content and capture new lessons learned from international events and exercises.
For many years, Canada has been at the forefront of nuclear research and energy. Approximately 15 per cent of Canada's power comes from nuclear energy with a total of 19 reactors, mostly in Ontario. In response to the expansion of Canada's nuclear program, CSA Group led the development of standards for the nuclear industry and now maintains over 40 nuclear-related standards. The standards address topics such as nuclear reactor control systems, safety systems and instrumentation, integrated management systems, decommissioning of nuclear facilities and reactor safety.
CSA Group is an independent, not-for-profit member-based association dedicated to advancing safety, sustainability and social good. We are an internationally-accredited standards development and testing & certification organization. We also provide consumer product evaluation and education & training services. Our broad range of knowledge and expertise includes: industrial equipment, plumbing & construction, electro-medical & healthcare, appliances & gas, alternative energy, lighting and sustainability. The CSA mark appears on billions of products around the world.

One of India's largest cities, Bangalore offers something a little different to many of the country's other tourist-centric destinations. Also known as Bengaluru, the capital of the southern state of Karnataka exudes a confident air of modernity and cosmopolitan sheen. But then, this vibrant location has always liked to show its cosmopolitan side, right back to its former status as the Garden City in the 19th century.
Visitors come here to witness the new, modern face of India and experience some truly world-class shopping, wining and dining. There are a number of excellent modern shopping malls located here, selling a vast range of high-end authentic designer brands at excellent prices. Of course, no retail shopping experience in India is complete without a browse around a street market and the city does not disappoint in this area, being home to traditional bazaars and modern designer markets. The area around Brigade Road is perhaps the most popular destination for those looking to experience the best of the city's shops, bars and eating establishments.
Despite the undoubted chic ambience which abounds here, the city has not forgotten its historic past. Bengaluru Palace was designed to look like Windsor Castle and remains the residence of the state maharajah. The lavish interiors of the palace and the family's collection of portraits are really quite special. One of the most iconic historic sights in the city is 16th-century Bull Temple. This aptly named monument has a huge statue of a bull, carved from a single granite boulder, keeping an ever-watchful eye over proceedings.
Unlike a number of other destinations in India, the city enjoys a relatively mild climate all year round. The ideal months for visiting are between October and March, when temperatures are at a comfortable level and prices remain fairly low. The month of January sees the city hold its famous annual flower show.

Two Northern Ireland banks announce polymer notes
From the BBC: "Two Northern Ireland banks have announced a switch to polymer £5 and £10 notes. The new Danske Bank and Bank of Ireland currency will enter circulation in February 2019. (...)
Danske Bank's new £10 polymer note will be similar in design to its current paper note, bearing a portrait of inventor John Dunlop. (...) Bank of Ireland is to produce new £5 and £10 notes, with the polymer versions retaining the image of Bushmills Distillery in County Antrim.
Both banks will also introduce polymer £20 notes in 2020 or 2021. (...) Neither has said when the paper note equivalents will cease to be accepted, but they will be gradually removed from circulation."
