Today, the online business is one of the leading forms for raising money. This is just ubiquitous by virtue of the fact that it is practiced in different corners of the Earth. With the popularity of social networking sites, we can see different products on the Interweb and in these modern days, it is not only the web-pages. People run a business on Yelp, Facebook and so on. Flipside, as any business, it is also connected with the documentation. In what way to keep the deeds and to be calm for their safety? Our variant is the Alternative Data-warehousing Systems . In what way will they be crucial for you?
It is to say that the Alternative Data Rooms will be crucial for any kinds of activity. Just get acquainted with the customers of the most widely known Alternative Data-warehousing Systems among them, you will see the legal services, huge widely spread banks, the top restaurants, energy retailers etc. This is so as the possibilities of the Electronic Data Rooms are wide and all-inclusive.
It is self-evident that it is your deal and you are going to maintain control over everything. It is not complicated as you may control all the actions of people using VDRs. You are also able to control which materials they analyze etc. It goes without question that you have various messengers on your laptop and tablet. On the contrary, the Online Storage Areas give you their Q&A mode and you should not switch between plenty of apps.
Internet business is a thing which works 24/7. Consequently, you need the access to the info 24-hour. And you will get it upon condition that you make use of the Due Diligence rooms.

It is clear that your fellow partners or depositors can also work with the Virtual Platforms round-the-clock. It is useful if they are from the far-off commonwealths.
Above all others, you should think whether the safekeeping of your materials is of first importance for you. Assuming that it does not, there is no point in spending heaps of money on the Electronic Repositories. At that rate, you are able to utilize other charge-free data stores and to save your money. That said, upon condition that the security is an important thing for you, we think that you have to take advantage of the Modern Deal Rooms .

Catherine Fenton Artist
Born in Canada, Catherine Fenton began traveling with her family across Europe at the age of four living in Portugal, Guernsey, England before settling in Spain at the age of nine. The constant traveling created a need to grasp on to the sensation and the images of a transitory world and became her source of inspiration.
Sculpting and painting papier-mâché, clay and collage on board and canvas recreate landscape textures, Catherine experiments with the possibility of muscle memory in the media; turning newspaper once again into trees, clay once more into earth. Often using wood as a base and allowing the grain to show through, many paintings are occupied by trees as symbols of life, family connections, and roots sometimes stretching leafless towards a stormy sky or crowded together as fairytale reminders of our deepest fears, mystery and promise. Using art to comment on the changing natural environment, her work is searching for the structures that have replaced the dominance of the cathedral on the landscape, such as wind turbines and pylons as they still reach towards the heavens.
For years Catherine has been interested in global environmental issues and has tried to use art to bring these subjects into the public view. From campaigning for fairtrade with the FairTrade Foundation in the early 90s, taking a giant mug to the Houses of Parliament and successfully persuading the canteen to serve fairtrade tea and coffee, to donating work to the Medical Foundation, Terence Higgins Trust, Crescent Support and Great Ormond St Hospital. Recently Catherine organised an exhibition for World Toilet Day, supporting UN Water in highlighting the social and health problems in disadvantaged areas of the world and the 2.4 billion people without access to a toilet. For this Catherine received a Cultural Innovation Award. Her tryptch "Be a Thinker, Be a Sharer, Be an Artist" using the World Health Organisation report on global sanitation as a background, was then donated to Toilet Twinning to further their work and will be exhibited in St Pauls Cathedral London on the 23 of March 2017 as part of the JustWater Initiative. Catherine is now a "Loo-minary" for Toilettwinning.org.
Catherine has become a member of ArtCan (formerly WITP Art), an arts charity supporting and promoting emerging artists. In conjunction with WITP Art and director Kate Enters, Catherine organised and co-curated an exhibition for World Water Day called Every Drop Counts in Clerkenwell London, using the 2017 UN Water theme Wastewater. Along with this Catherine and WITP will be held art workshops for children and adults, with help from WaterAid.UK and Thames Water called Message in a Bottle in the Wetland Centre Barnes and the Unicorn Theatre Tooley Street.
May 2017 Catherine will be exhibited in Global Reactive, an international exhibition highlighting the ongoing issues around the nuclear power plant in Fukushima. Each artist will be interpreting a five line poem "gogyohshi" from the poet Taro Aizu, born in Fukushima, many international poetry awards.

Letter from Egan administration demanding contributions shows changing views
By all accounts, Gov. Bill Egan was a fine public servant. Among other things, the first governor of the State of Alaska ushered in Alaska's entry into statehood, the Prudhoe Bay discovery, and was the steady when the state was violently shaken in the 1964 earthquake. His reputation is stellar.
Times were different then. It was pre-Watergate, and the country wasn't watching over its public officials with such cynical eyes. A 1966 letter circulating around various circles exemplifies that change. (Click on the image above to blow up). The letter is from Dale G. Williams, the deputy commissioner of Revenue, basically demanding a campaign contribution for Egan's campaign from one of his departmental employees.
The letter says that all governor appointees have been "assessed approximately 2% of annual gross salary." John Daugherty's contribution was to be $250, payable in full.
"In the event that you cannot pay in full a check for not less than one-half should be forwarded to my attention prior to August 1, the balance by September 1," the letter, written on state stationary, says.
A similar letter written today would be viewed as a serious criminal and ethical breach.
Not only does the letter show how far the public's attitudes about campaign contributions have shifted, it provides a window into the state's current campaign limits. The $250 assessment would have meant that Daugherty was making about $12,500 a year.
Currently, a division director makes about $100,000. If the same standards were imposed today, that person would be "assessed" a $2000 campaign contribution.
Since 1996, with a brief blip in the mid 2000s, state campaign contributions have been capped at $500 per person per calendar year.
Federal law dictates that the maximum contribution per candidate is $2600 in the primary and another $2600 in the general election.
Federal contribution limits are tied to cost of living increases.

You are welcome. It is a good read.

Thanks Lynn. I'll get the book.
Nothing has changed except the sophistication of the shake down, Suggest you read Peter Schweizer's new book " Extortion". (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Company 2013). Mr Schweizer demonstrates in great detail how this simple "shake down" letter of the Egan era has evolved into a multi-million dollar enterprise created by polticians to sustain their careers also to empower their families and assoicates to rule this nation and profit from their efforts. . If you are partisan you might not enjoy reading the book because national leaders from both parties are exposed. Mr. Schweizer's point is that as much as influence is purchased from today's politicians influence is also extorted by these same polticians. This is an except from "Extortion" :
"But a deeper, more sinister problem that has been overlooked better explains the dismal state of our national government; politics is corrupting money. While we have focused on the power that contributions have over officials, we have largely ignored the power that officials have over contributors. We have focused on the buyers of influence (those outside special interests), but paid little heed to the sellers of influence – bureaucrats and politicians."

Blogging for gun safety reform and changing the conversation about the role of guns and gun violence in our communities. Common sense gun laws and gun safety reform and gun rights are not mutually exclusive.
Eddie Eagle program
Guns kill people

Yes they do. Guns are the only product sold to consumers that are not regulated by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. They are also in a unique category called deadly weapons that mostly includes guns and certain types of knives. Guns are designed to inflict harm and kill people ( or animals in the case of hunting). I write this often on my blog. When I post actual articles about "accidental" discharges or incidents involving so called "law abiding" gun owners I get the usual remarks from gun rights folks. They agree that these incidents are irresponsible and careless.
Maybe they shouldn't have had a gun? No, that is usually not mentioned because the goal of the gun lobby and gun rights extremists is for just about anyone to have guns and have them just about anywhere. And so that is the push- selling guns to as many people as possible without apparent regard to whether that person knows even the tiniest thing about a gun before walking away with one.
I am going to digress for a second here because today is the anniversary of the Columbine shooting. I wrote about April anniversaries in my last post. The Columbine shooting was the one that we saw endless video of through media outlets. Who can forget the images of teens walking out of a school building with their hands up or running in some cases or trying to get out of the windows of the building to safety? And images of the memorials and the aftermath of our country's in a series of heinous school shootings.This was a visual reminder that indeed, guns do kill people. Here is a disturbing video from surveillance cameras in the Columbine High School cafeteria before, during and after the shooting took place. That day, guns killed 13 and injured many others and left an indelible imprint on the American psyche.
When it's real people and we see it live or almost in real time, it's different than watching people get shot on TV shows or movies and now, videos and video games. But truth is stranger and more real than fiction. States United to Prevent Gun Violence produced a film about the effect of real shootings called "Gun Crazy". Watch as film goers sit in the theater with popcorn seeing real shootings rather than a violent movie. When it's real, it's too much. When real people have to see the real bodies of a child or a loved one who has been shot and killed by bullets, it's unforgettable. Nothing is ever the same.
Yes. Disturbing. We are gun crazy.
Back to guns killing people, why do people buy and own guns and who are they? Some are gun collectors. I know a few of those folks and they are nice people whose passion happens to be collecting guns- some older antique guns, some modern guns. You can really only use one at a time but if you like to handle he guns, work on them, look at them, admire them, take them to the gun range and shoot them or take them hunting, that is one thing. Some are hunters and that is the only reason they own guns. My family falls into that category. Some buy guns for target shooting and sport. And some buy guns for self defense. Still others buy many guns just in case they need them to fight against their own government. And, as it turns out, many of these people support common sense gun laws.
And unfortunately, some buy guns to kill someone they know and even love and that is the only reason they buy or access a gun. Such was the tragic case of a Minnesota man who went out and bought a gun so he could shoot his family and himself in a murder/suicide. He bought that gun one day before the shooting knowing what he was going to do. Without that gun, he must have thought he could not have accomplished this awful thing.
Can we stop incidents like this? Not all of them of course. But we do live in a country abundant with guns at the ready for anyone who wants to shoot someone or his/herself. Some people know exactly what they are going to do with a gun. Others are just careless or irresponsible as has been mentioned. But whatever else we say or don't say or intimate or excuse, we must say the truth. Guns are dangerous and can kill or otherwise harm someone known to the owner whether or not they intend it.
So when I read this article, it resonated with me. I particularly liked the title: "Guns are designed to kill so why are we shocked when they do?" From the article:
In our national mythology, guns are symbols of liberty and autonomy, self-determination and control. When they harm us and there is no obvious person to blame, we want to believe they only do so "somehow." Such linguistic tics subtly attribute gun failure and misuse to forces beyond our control, which is more comforting than admitting they are born of the choices we make.
The article ends this way:
Gun accidents happen because we live in close proximity to machines designed to kill; they eventually will do what they were made to do, though perhaps not at a time our choosing. Whenever this happens, the true culprit is obvious: A culture that refuses to learn the lessons of its past.
At a time of our choosing is an important phrase. Some shootings are actually accomplished at times the shooter has chosen and even thought about ahead of time. Many are not. Many are spur of the moment shootings that happen in an instant of anger or in the muddled thinking of depression or having too much alcohol or mishandling a gun or just leaving it sitting somewhere where it can be used at a time not chosen to kill or injure someone. That's how it is with guns. They kill people. One killed my sister. Or I should say the bullets from that gun- 3 of them- caused internal injuries that killed her almost instantly. The person with that gun that day was angry over a contentious divorce. We don't know what prompted it since there was not a trial where we could hear from him in his own words why he picked up a gun that day and shot two people. We don't know if he met them at his door with his gun when they came to deliver some papers and got them inside the house. He killed himself 3 months after the shooting. What we do know is that he shot and killed two people while angry and depressed. Without that gun accessible, two people would not have died that day almost 23 years ago.
A woman once asked me why I didn't think they ( my sister and her friend) could have been killed as easily with a knife. Maybe she was thinking of the now famous case where O.J. Simpson was on trial for killing his ex-wife and another man with a knife. He was not found guilty as we know but someone killed those two people and we are not sure how it was managed. Most knives are not really designed to kill people but they do kill. At a much lower rate than guns in spite of the nonsensical arguments that come from the other side about that. There have been "mass knifings" which have most often injured the people who were attacked but not killed them. One such happened in China on the same day as the Sandy Hook shooting that killed 26 innocent people. In China, 23 were injured and none killed.
And the answer is "no" to the woman who asked me, by the way. My now deceased brother-in-law was able to threaten and intimidate two people with a gun because it's hard to run away from someone with a gun. A gun can be shot from close up or far away. Bullets have long trajectories. That is why they are so effective.
I'm writing and talking about common sense solutions to our gun violence epidemic. One of the things that has to be talked about is the risk of guns to their owners and others in the vicinity. I have asked whether guns are accessible when I hear of someone in a contentious divorce or domestic situation. At least some of our leaders recognize that domestic abusers certain should not have guns. In Minnesota and a handful of other states recent laws were passed to allow law enforcement to take guns away from domestic abusers who have exhibited behaviors that resulted in a restraining order and/or order for protection. Even the gun friendly legislators supported these laws and came together to make women and children safer from those who should not have guns. Hopefully that is a realization that guns can be a risk and can become deadly quickly in domestic disputes.
There are many ways we can deal with our gun violence epidemic if we treat it as the public health problem that it is. Passing laws requiring background checks on all gun sales is one. Requiring and encouraging safe storage of guns. Stopping bad apple gun dealers and stopping gun trafficking is another. Education about the risks of guns, of course, would help. Asking if there are unsecured loaded guns in the homes where your children play. Suicide awareness programs recognizing that access to guns can result in a senseless avoidable death. And this is not just about the NRA's Eddie Eagle program which was the subject of a recent segment of Samantha Bee's Full Frontal show.
I hope you will join me in supporting solutions that will stop the proliferation of guns in our communities and the devastating gun violence that is taking too many lives.
Teens, curiosity and guns- a uniquely American public health problem
May 13, 2015 May 13, 2015 commongunsenseABC's 20/20, ASK campaign, corporate gun lobby, Eddie Eagle program, kids and guns, safe gun storage, teen gun suicides, Violence Policy Center
I'm sure you've heard this one: "Curiosity killed the cat." Curiosity can also kill kids. If something looks interesting, shiny, bright, intriguing or is forbidden, we can count on kids to want to touch it or do it.
That is why no matter what you tell your kids, they are curious about guns and will want to hold them and pretend to shoot them. Of course, in American teens have easy access to guns and we also know that way too often teens bring guns to schools or other places and actually use them to kill others. The fact that this is common is disturbing. It goes against the corporate gun lobby mantra that more guns make us safer. It also is in direct opposition to the NRA's Eddie Eagle program touted as the way to keep kids safe from loaded guns.
Let's take a look at why Eddie Eagle is not doing the trick.
In a Minnesota high school, 2 boys brought a gun to school to see what it was like to "hold" it. One of the teens got the gun from his own house. From the article:
The 16-year-old student told Oakdale police he received the gun from another 16-year-old Tartan student. The student took the gun from his parents' home and brought it to school so he and his friend could hold it.
"Both students said they were curious about the idea of having a gun and were showing it off," Oakdale police said in a statement.
So much for teaching kids not to touch guns. Kids are curious. They will touch. Luckily this did not end badly but it certainly could have. Hopefully the irresponsible parents who allowed easy access to a gun will think twice about how they store their guns or even if they should have guns in the home considering that a curious teen already said he wanted to see what it was like to hold a gun. Next time he might do more than just hold it.
A teen in Tempe, Arizona brought a gun to school and shot and killed himself in the school. Where did his gun come from? Easy access to guns makes suicide quick and efficient with no time to reconsider or think about anything. And now a family is grieving for an avoidable death of a son who had potential that will not be realized.
Teen suicide is a serious public health problem in our country. From this article:
Suicide is one of the 3 leading causes of death for 13- to 19-year-olds in the United States.
An average of 4 American teenagers commit suicide every day.
Does a gun in the home increase the chance of suicide? YES!
In states where there are more guns, more people commit suicide.
Studies have shown that the risk of suicide is 4 to 10 times higher in homes with guns than in those without.
If the gun is a handgun or is stored loaded or unlocked, the risk of suicide is even higher.
Does it matter how a person tries to commit suicide? YES!
Suicide attempts with a gun are very likely to be deadly.
Suicide attempts with drugs or methods other than guns have a greater chance of survival.
Suicide accounts for the majority of gun deaths in America. Shouldn't we be doing something about that?
A California teen shot and injured herself with her father's gun. Even officers, apparently don't get that curious kids and teens will touch guns no matter what you tell them about the dangers. There are risks to having guns around the home. When will "responsible" gun owners get that? How many more of these will we be hearing about and writing about before gun owners understand that if they decide to own a gun they had better decide to own responsibility. With rights come responsibilities. There are no excuses.
Don't believe the gun lobby rhetoric that guns in the home for self defense will be likely to save you from a home invasion. Those are rare compared to the accidental and intentional shootings with the guns owned for self defense. Do guns come with warning labels? Shouldn't anyone who purchases a gun be required to go through training? When profits come before saving lives and a sale is more important than a life, this is what we get.
Let's take a better look at the NRA's Eddie Eagle program (from the Violence Policy Center): ostensibly for gun safety for kids:
The primary goal of the National Rifle Association's Eddie Eagle program is not to safeguard children, but to protect the interests of the NRA and the firearms industry by making guns more acceptable to children and youth. The Eddie Eagle program employs strategies similar to those utilized by America's tobacco industry—from youth "educational" programs that are in fact marketing tools to the use of appealing cartoon characters that aim to put a friendly face on a hazardous product. The hoped-for result is new customers for the industry and new members for the NRA.
Violence Policy Center research reveals for the first time that manufacturers of firearms, ammunition, and related products directly contribute hundreds of thousands of tax-deductible dollars to the NRA through its "affiliate," The NRA Foundation. The Foundation in turn then makes "grants" to the NRA to fund the Eddie Eagle program. Financial contributors to The NRA Foundation include Saturday Night Special or "junk gun" manufacturers, rifle and shotgun manufacturers, and manufacturers of ammunition and reloading equipment. Donation of land of unknown value has also been made by industry members to The NRA Foundation for endowment programs. Industry members have also facilitated the donation of more than a million dollars to the NRA through point-of-purchase dealer and catalog sale programs.
There is much more of interest in this article. I hope you will read it. Marketing guns to kids is a really bad idea. Just like driving a car, they can wait until they are deemed to be more ready for the responsibilities that come with a potentially dangerous product.
Remember this ABC 20/20 program which showed how even though kids whose parents explicitly told them not to touch guns, they did it anyway? I do. It was in direct opposition to what the gun lobby deceptively tells people about their kids and guns. Why? Because they don't want parents to reconsider a gun sale if they understand the truth about kids and guns.
Anyone with common sense should understand that keeping guns safely secured away from curious kids and teens and those who are suicidal is a really good idea and can save lives. And maybe the parent of the Minnesota teen who got a gun from a friend should have asked if there were guns in the home where their son hung out. Asking saves lives. Check out the ASK Campaign if you don't believe me. I am betting that these parents wished they had asked because now their son is in a lot of trouble and they should be mortified about the whole thing.
Kids and guns don't go together no matter what the gun lobby tries to tell you. Their push to get kids comfortable around guns is bunk. Hunting is one thing when accompanied by an adult. But holding and playing with handguns or assault rifles is just not OK. There is no need for a teen to get comfortable with those kinds of guns. Teens can't think through consequences. Of course, neither can many adults.
It's past time to change the conversation about the role of guns and gun violence in our communities. Let's get to work. We can make our kids and communities safer with some and responsibility.

Jim Murphy denies making a U-turn on tuition fees despite voting record
SNP calls Murphy a "hypocrite" due to his record in supporting fees
JIM MURPHY has insisted that he has not made a u-turn after announcing Labour's commitment to keeping tuition fees free in Scotland - despite his own voting record.
The Scottish Labour leader visited Glasgow Caledonian University on Tuesday to state that there would not be a re-emergence of upfront fees if Labour is elected in Scotland in 2016.
But Murphy was called a "hypocrite" by the SNP due to his voting record on introducing tuition fees in England in 1998 and his pro-fees position while president of the National Union of Students (NUS).
When asked by CommonSpace about his previous position that the idea of free tuition was "incoherent, indefensible and unrealistic", Murphy claimed that 'the answers are different' in Scotland than in England.
He said: "I understand the SNP wants to play these games about what people said decades ago but this issue is more important than that.
"The answers in England are different from the answers in Scotland. The fact is I'm leader of the Scottish Labour party and as long as I remain leader tuition fees will remain free in Scotland."
Murphy repeated that Labour had "set out a plan that says tuition fees will remain free".
"We abolished them in Scotland and we'll keep it that way," he said.
Labour got rid of tuition fees in 2001 under Donald Dewar and replaced them with a graduate endowment fee when students finish university.
The SNP subsequently scrapped the graduate fee in 2008.
Gordon Maloney, president of NUS Scotland, welcomed Labour' s commitment but warned against any party reneging on its position.
Maloney told CommonSpace: "There is a political climate in Scotland where fees are off the table for Scottish students, and against charging in Scottish higher education. If parties are going to compete over who can be most socially democratic then that is welcome.
"But I would hope that the parties stay true to their commitments. The Liberal Democrats are being punished for reneging on their pledge on tuition fees at the last election. I would hope any other party will get wiped out for a similar betrayal."
SNP MSP Stewart Maxwell claimed that the Labour announcement was a "panicked attempt to grab headlines".
He said: "With their appalling track record on fees, it's clear that students in Scotland won't be fooled by this shameless stunt. They will judge Mr Murphy by his Blairite actions rather than his warm words and quickly come to the conclusion that they can't trust a word he says."

"Fiction is a necessity"
One of the strangest examples of the degree to which ordinary life is undervalued is the example of popular literature, the vast mass of which we contentedly describe as vulgar. The boy's novelette may be ignorant in a literary sense, which is only like saying that a modern novel is ignorant in the chemical sense, or the economic sense, or the astronomical sense; but it is not vulgar intrinsically—it is the actual centre of a million flaming imaginations.
In former centuries the educated class ignored the ruck of vulgar literature. They ignored, and therefore did not, properly speaking, despise it. Simple ignorance and indifference does not inflate the character with pride. A man does not walk down the street giving a haughty twirl to his moustaches at the thought of his superiority to some variety of deep-sea fishes. The old scholars left the whole under-world of popular compositions in a similar darkness.
To-day, however, we have reversed this principle. We do despise vulgar compositions, and we do not ignore them. We are in some danger of becoming petty in our study of pettiness; there is a terrible Circean law in the background that if the soul stoops too ostentatiously to examine anything it never gets up again. There is no class of vulgar publications about which there is, to my mind, more utterly ridiculous exaggeration and misconception than the current boys' literature of the lowest stratum. This class of composition has presumably always existed, and must exist. It has no more claim to be good literature than the daily conversation of its readers to be fine oratory, or the lodging-houses and tenements they inhabit to be sublime architecture. But people must have conversation, they must have houses, and they must have stories. The simple need for some kind of ideal world in which fictitious persons play an unhampered part is infinitely deeper and older than the rules of good art, and much more important. Every one of us in childhood has constructed such an invisible dramatis personæ, but it never occurred to our nurses to correct the composition by careful comparison with Balzac. In the East the professional story-teller goes from village to village with a small carpet; and I wish sincerely that anyone had the moral courage to spread that carpet and sit on it in Ludgate Circus. But it is not probable that all the tales of the carpet-bearer are little gems of original artistic workmanship. Literature and fiction are two entirely different things. Literature is a luxury; fiction is a necessity. A work of art can hardly be too short, for its climax is its merit. A story can never be too long, for its conclusion is merely to be deplored, like the last halfpenny or the last pipelight. And so, while the increase of the artistic conscience tends in more ambitious works to brevity and impressionism, voluminous industry still marks the producer of the true romantic trash. There was no end to the ballads of Robin Hood; there is no end to the volumes about Dick Deadshot and the Avenging Nine. These two heroes are deliberately conceived as immortal.

Why VivoMega
Eco-Friendly Production
Supply & Capacity
Media & Flyers
Bone and Joints
GC Rieber was founded by Gottlieb Christian Rieber in Bergen, Norway in 1879. Originally a leather-trading company, the business rapidly expanded into other areas.
GC Rieber history
In 1920 GC Rieber moved into fish oil production with the purchase of the Knarrevik fish oil factory and in 1950 the company expanded further with the purchase of a cod liver plant in Tromsø. It was these early ventures that led GC Rieber to become the majority stakeholder in Alnes Marine Oils, the company that today holds the name GC Rieber VivoMega. In 2010 GC Rieber VivoMega completed construction of a high concentrate production facility and became a leading producer of Omega-3 concentrates from fish oil. The facility has expanded five times since then to keep up with the growing demand.
Our VivoMega portfolio of oils offers a wide range of EPA and DHA ratios that are available in both ethyl ester (EE) and natural triglyceride (TG) form, with a total Omega-3 content ranging from 70 – 90%. Our state-of-the-art production equipment, rigorous monitoring and testing allow us to produce oils that consistently exceed international standards, such as the GOED monograph and IFOS 5-star.
Over our long history, we have continually evolved to meet the growing demands of the global Omega-3 market. We have been able to accomplish this by maintaining our three Core Values:
We enjoy the challenge of finding new ways of doing things, and we dare to question established "truths".
We are constantly looking for new opportunities and work tirelessly to transform those opportunities into tangible results.
We go about our business with a strong sense of responsibility towards our customers, society, the environment and each other.
As a family company GC Rieber is driven by a desire for economic, human and social development. The balance between financial strength, a robust corporate culture and respect for our environment is at the heart of who we are.
The company shall treat natural resources with respect, never to be squandered. These resources are to be passed on to future generations in at least as good shape as they were in when we took over.
— The GC Rieber business pinciples
At GC Rieber, we believe our social responsibility is to maintain a sustainable environment within our entire business operation. We feel that this is important to the long-term success of the Omega-3 industry as a whole. By focusing on improvements within the business and actively using internal expertise to drive economic, environmental and social change, we believe that the Omega-3 industry can better support international sustainability programs.
Our corporate social responsibility initiatives are an integral part of our organization's guiding principles and they are reflected in our business goals. At GC Rieber, each business area identifies sustainability goals and aligns them with our stakeholders' expectations. These goals are turned into action plans which are implemented both internally and externally, with a focus on continuous improvement. To ensure alignment with our partner relationships, we have developed a specific policy within our Code of Conduct for responsible supplier management.
GC Rieber Foundation
The GC Rieber family recognized early on that they had a responsibility to give back to the broader community. As a result, the first charitable fund was established in 1929. Our vision today is to support people with extra needs through their lives from children to elderly persons.
The GC Rieber Foundation manages philanthropic and charitable contributions to benevolent and social initiatives across a wide array of cultural and scientific projects. For instance the foundation is contribution on a study of high doses of Omega-3, that may reduce inflammations for patients with arthritis together with Haukeland University Hospital,
Contact us for more information about the GC Rieber Foundation and our Corporate Social Responsibility.
In 2010 GC Rieber joined the UN Global Compact initiative. This is currently the world's largest initiative for corporate social responsibility and includes more than 8,000 businesses from 145 different countries around the world.
The UN Global Compact has established universal guidelines that encourage and demonstrate how businesses should take into account the following principles:

Michael Lombardi (born June 19, 1959) is an American football executive and media analyst. Until 2016, he was an assistant to the coaching staff of the New England Patriots and is a former analyst for the NFL Network and sportswriter at NFL.com. Lombardi also previously served as an NFL executive with the San Francisco 49ers, Cleveland Browns, Philadelphia Eagles, and Oakland Raiders. He hosts his own podcast "The GM Shuffle" formerly with Adnan Virk now with Femi Abebefe, and co-hosts a Saturday morning sports betting program on Sirius XM for Vegas Stats & Information Network along with a daily show on Vegas Stats & Information Network called "The Lombardi Line".

Life and career

Early life

Lombardi grew up in Ocean City, New Jersey and played both baseball and football at Valley Forge Military Academy. He attended Hofstra University from 1977–1981, where he played defensive lineman and long snapper for the football team.

Early career

In 1981, Lombardi was hired as a recruiting coordinator at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas by Rebels' head coach Harvey Hyde.

National Football League

Lombardi began his NFL career in 1984 as an area scout under Bill Walsh of the San Francisco 49ers, where he stayed until 1987. He is credited for the initial discovery and scouting of Hall of Famer Charles Haley, who was drafted by San Francisco 49ers in 1986 NFL Draft.

Lombardi joined the Cleveland Browns organization as Pro Personnel Director in 1987. Later, he became the Browns' Director of Player Personnel and worked under head coach Bill Belichick managing drafts, negotiating contracts and acquiring free agents.

In 1997, Philadelphia Eagles President Joe Banner hired Lombardi as a consultant to assist with the 1997 NFL Draft. Banner then named Lombardi Director of Pro Personnel of the Eagles in 1998.

Later that same year, Al Davis hired Lombardi to serve as Senior Personnel Executive of the Oakland Raiders, a position which he held until 2007. During his tenure with the Raiders, Oakland won three consecutive AFC West titles and advanced to Super Bowl XXXVII.

In October 2012, sportswriter Jason La Canfora reported that the Cleveland Browns were considering Lombardi for their vacancy at General Manager. He was hired for that position five months later. On February 11, 2014, the Browns replaced Lombardi with Ray Farmer.

In 2014 and 2015, Lombardi worked under Bill Belichick of the New England Patriots as an assistant to the coaching staff. Speaking about Lombardi's time in New England, Belichick said, "Mike's...one of the smartest people I've worked with. He was huge asset to me for the two years he was here...he studies football and he knows it very well."

Lombardi has worked as an administrator in the NFL for over 30 years and has worked for Bill Walsh, Al Davis and Bill Belichick. Sports and pop culture essayist Chuck Klosterman described Lombardi as, "a detail freak and a polymath, or at least a person successfully attempting to impersonate one" after spending time with him at the Cleveland Browns facility in the hours leading up to the 2013 NFL Draft. Lombardi has also been described as, "one of the most quiet but influential executives in the NFL." He has been credited as one of the first NFL executives to study the science of scouting players for moral character.

Broadcasting

As a broadcaster, Lombardi has worked for ESPN, CBS Sports, Showtime, the NFL Network and Fox Sports. He began his career as a member of the media in 1996 when he spent part of that year as an NFL draft analyst for ESPN. He also spent portions of 1998 and 1999 as an editorial consultant and studio analyst for CBS Sports as on-air talent for the NFL Today pre-game show.

In 2008, Lombardi joined NFL Films' Inside the NFL, a weekly Showtime series where he provided analysis alongside host James Brown and former NFL players Cris Collinsworth, Phil Simms and Warren Sapp. That same year, Lombardi began contributing to several NFL Network shows, including as an in-studio analyst and reporting live from individual games.

Lombardi was hired by Fox Sports in September 2016. When he joined Fox, national networks president Jamie Horowitz said in a statement, "Michael is a thought-provoking and insightful football analyst with an impressive résumé. We feel like his blunt approach and original perspective makes the FS1 shows more interesting, and the fans of those shows more informed."

Digital media

In 2010, after working as on-air talent at the NFL Network for two years, Lombardi began writing columns for NFL.com, duties he performed until 2012. Lombardi has also contributed writing to Sports Illustrated and the National Football Post, the latter of which he founded and served as editor-in-chief for three years. In January 2017, Lombardi took a position with The Ringer where he hosted the "GM Street" podcast with Tate Frazier and also wrote articles on occasion for the website. He announced via Twitter in March 2019 that he had left The Ringer to work on his own podcast. He currently hosts The GM Shuffle podcast with Femi Abebefe and co-hosts a program for Vegas Stats & Information Network.

In September 2017, Mike Lombardi made headlines by criticizing Philadelphia Eagles coach Doug Pederson: "He might be less qualified to coach a team than anyone I've ever seen in my 30-plus years in the NFL."  Pederson would lead the Eagles to their first Super Bowl championship later that season.

In 2020, Lombardi became a co-host on Hammer Dahn, a gambling podcast from Pat McAfee Inc.

Writing
Lombardi has written one book, Gridiron Genius: A Master Class in Winning Championships and Building Dynasties in the NFL, published in September 2018.

Personal life

Lombardi is not related to Green Bay Packers coaching legend Vince Lombardi. He is an avid reader with an interest in Robert Caro's biography of Lyndon B. Johnson. He and his wife, Millie, have two sons: Matt, who is the Assistant quarterbacks coach for the Carolina Panthers; and Mick, who has been the offensive coordinator for the Las Vegas Raiders since the 2022 season.

Downloading images asynchronously is hard due to complexities involving concurrency, speed, and user experience. In this post, I will implement a simple yet effective image downloader with memory and disk caches.
The downloader consists of a class named ImageDownloader. It provides a method that asynchronously downloads an image with a given URL and calls a handler when the task is completed. Under the hood, this class is also responsible for scheduling incoming download tasks and caching downloaded images.
The rest of this post will be organised into three parts, each dealing with one important feature of the downloader.
For simplicity, the downloader uses the NSURLCache class provided by Apple. During initialisation, we create the cache with the specified memory and disk capacities (in bytes). We then assign it to an NSURLSessionConfiguration object with which we create a custom NSURLSession object.
Note that we set the requestCachePolicy of the configuration object to .ReturnCacheDataElseLoad. This enables more aggressive caching and is optional.
From now on, whenever you start a data task using this custom NSURLSession object, the response will be cached if it meets the conditions outlined in the documentation.
By default, network tasks are treated in a FIFO fashion—earlier requests get processed first. LIFO scheduling, however, gives the latest request the highest priority. Why do we need such a behaviour?
Imaging an app that displays rows of images downloaded from the Internet. As the user scrolls down, more and more images are fetched from the server to populate the rows. Assume that the app initially displays rows 1 to 5, and the user quickly scrolls to rows 15 to 20. With FIFO task scheduling, the app has to finish downloading the first five rows of images before it can move on to what the user most urgently wants, causing high latency. LIFO task scheduling solves this problem: the images that are immediately visible to the user are always downloaded first, delivering a responsive experience.
Dictionaries and sets are ruled out instantly, because they are unordered collections. Neither can we use arrays, because arbitrary lookup and removals run at O(n). The obscure NSMutableOrderedSet seems like a good candidate—it is a hybrid between a set and an array, providing the best of both worlds. Of course, these benefits come at the cost of higher memory usage, but it should rarely be a concern nowadays.
Let's create an NSMutableOrderedSet instance and add it as a property.
We also need a counter to keep track of the number of active tasks.
Since these variables will be mutated on multiple threads, a lock is used for protection.
dataTasks[0..<activeDataTaskCount] are tasks that are actively running. The rest of the tasks are in a suspended state.
activeDataTaskCount falls in the range 0...min(dataTasks.count, maxActiveDataTaskCount) and should be kept as large as possible within this range.
To achieve LIFO behaviour, new data tasks should be inserted at index 0. After insertion, we also have to increment activeDataTaskCount.
Then we run a loop to trim down the number of active tasks so that the invariants are kept.
Removing a task is a bit trickier. Since we do not know whether the task we are about to remove is active or not, a check must be performed. If the task is active, we have to decrement activeDataTaskCount before removing it.
Then we run a loop to ensure that activeDataTaskCount is as large as possible.
Voila! This is all you need to implement a LIFO task scheduler.
Returning to our hypothetical app, an astute reader may discover that if the user scrolls back up while the images there are still loading, duplicate network requests for the same URL will be issued, generating unnecessary traffic. Hence we need a way to detect such requests and combine them with the original one.
But this coalescing behaviour violates our LIFO rule: if a new, duplicate request is combined into an old one, it will not gain the highest priority! A direct way to solve this is to "promote" the data task to the front of the queue.
In order to reduce overhead, however, the above implementation deviates from the prescribed behaviour in that it does nothing if the task is already actively running.
Back to the issue. When talking about combining network requests, what we really mean is the ability to modify the completion handler of a data task on the fly. We can achieve this by adding another level of indirection—a helper struct ResponseHandler that stores a data task and all the completion handlers it is going to execute upon completion.
We also need another property in ImageDownloader that maps a URL to a ResponseHandler.
Upon receiving a new request, check the responseHandlers dictionary first to find out whether this is a duplicate request. If yes, simply extract the ResponseHandler instance, promote the data task, and append the completion handler.
Otherwise, we need to create a new data task. In its completion handler, extract the dictionary entry for the URL, remove the task from the queue, and execute all the completion handlers.
Lastly, do not forget to enqueue the data task and set the dictionary entry for the URL.
And here ends the entire implementation of ImageDownloader.
Admittedly, ImageDownloader has several limitations such as the inability to cancel a request. Nevertheless, we can still see that implementing asynchronous image downloading is, at least on a conceptual level, a fun exercise.

Revised El Jebel development proposal adds apartments, reduces commercial space
Scott Condon
scondon@aspentimes.com
This site plan for the Tree Farm project shows how development would be focused between Highway 82 and an existing water ski lake in El Jebel. 82 percent of the residences would be within 1/4 mile of the Willits bus stop.
Woody Ventures |
Midvalley property owner Ace Lane and his development team have made extensive changes to a proposal for a residential and commercial project in the El Jebel area.
The revised application for the Tree Farm project reduces the number of residences from 400 to 340, caps the overall commercial square footage at 134,558 and reduces the acreage covered by the development from 71 to about 43.
The total square footage was reduced from 585,474 in the prior plan to 514,193.
The plan also caps the largest, single-use retail space at 30,000 square feet to assuage fears that Lane will try to entice the El Jebel City Market to move out of Basalt or attract a new grocery to compete with the Basalt markets.
The Tree Farm site is located on the north side of Highway 82, across from Whole Foods Market. The property is located just outside the Basalt town boundary so Eagle County government will review it.
Lane is pursuing the project through Woody Ventures LLC. The plan is in the second stage of Eagle County's three-stage review process. The Roaring Fork Regional Planning Commission voted in November 2015 to recommend denial of the project. Woody Ventures asked for the project to be tabled before it went to the county commissioners so changes could be made.
Jon Fredericks, Woody Venture's land-use planner, said the revisions respond to concerns by the planning commission and general public. The input resulted in changes that make a "superior project," he wrote in a letter to the Eagle County Planning Office in October.
Hotel added to plan
The amount of commercial space that can be dedicated to uses such as restaurants, retail shops and offices was set at 74,000 square feet. There was no definitive maximum square footage in the prior plan.
Lane's team added a 60,000-square-foot hotel to the plan based on the perceived demand for such a facility. The new Element Hotel in Willits Town Center is completing a successful first year. David Marrs, Woody Venture's financial consultant, said hotel operators are interested in the site and are exploring the project further.
A 100-room hotel is being eyed. The Tree Farm team envisions a hotel that can offer extended-stay rooms like Elements.
The remainder of the commercial component is roughly eyed as 20,000 square feet of restaurants, 20,000 square feet of retail and 26,000 square feet of office space.
Affordable housing component
The project will provide 43 deed-restricted affordable housing units to meet Eagle County guidelines. However, a significant amount of the free-market units also will be priced to be "attainable" by workers in the Roaring Fork Valley, Marrs said. Townhouses were eliminated from the plan and apartments — which are in short supply in the Roaring Fork Valley — were added.
Fredericks said the free-market plan features approximately 180 apartments and 160 loft-condominiums. The apartments will be rented at prices that aren't much higher than the deed-restricted units, he said. The units will be small to help keep the prices affordable. The average size will be 1,117 square feet, the development team said.
Much of the housing will be built between Highway 82 and an existing water-skiing lake on Lane's property as well as to the west or downvalley side of the lake.
Marrs said 82 percent of the housing would be within one-quarter mile of an existing Bus Rapid Transit stop already constructed at Willits.
The revised plan eliminates 60 townhouses on the north side of the water-skiing lake.
Mike Scanlon, former town manager for Basalt and now a consultant on Lane's team (see side bar), said the high frequency of the bus service from the Roaring Fork Transportation Authority creates great potential for a project that truly relies on mass transit rather than private vehicles.
Lane has committed to provide 20 parking spaces at the Tree Farm for transit users. In addition, the development will contribute $400,000 to RFTA for its use anywhere parking is needed.
The Tree Farm made a prior commitment to provide $910,000 for the pedestrian underpass that was built to serve the bus-rapid-transit bus stops at Willits. It's already paid for $52,500 for engineering, so it will make an $875,500 contribution if the project is approved.
Assessment for child care, housing
Lane's team also is volunteering to assess a 1 percent Real Estate Transfer Assessment that will raise revenue for Eagle County. Discussions must still be held with county officials, but the intent is to contribute the funds for use on affordable housing or child care, Scanlon said.
The assessment will generate an expected $2.6 million over 20 years and $4.5 million over 30 years.
The Tree Farm also has reached a preliminary agreement with Eagle County to fund additional law enforcement services based on an anticipated increase in calls for service because of the development.
Starting in year one of construction, Tree Farm would provide $66,000 annually to the Sheriff's Office for extra patrol officers in the Roaring Fork Valley. Once the project reaches 25 percent build-out, the payment would increase to $132,000 annually. The payment would escalate to match the Consumer Price Index.
The 43 deed restricted affordable-housing units would be built in the first phase of the project along with many of the free-market apartments. The project would be phased in over about 15 years, depending on the strength of the economy, Lane said.
No hearing date has been set yet by the Eagle County commissioners to renew review of the project. The Woody Ventures team hopes to start construction in 2018 if possible.
Colorado was expecting to receive 210,000 coronavirus vaccine doses next week. "Now we find out we'll only get 79,000 next week," Gov. Jared Polis wrote on Twitter.

H.E.R.'s Love Life Is Just as Mysterious as Her Musical Persona
Marc Barman December 15, 2022
H.E.R. may not be hiding behind her signature sunglasses anymore, but she's still just as private with her personal life. The Emmy-, Grammy-, and Oscar-winning multihyphenate is a whiz when it comes to writing love songs, but she's not so forthcoming in discussing her own dating life.
H.E.R., real name Gabi Wilson, has rarely disclosed her romances. Back in 2016, the "Beauty and the Beast" star — who's also starring in the upcoming musical movie version of "The Color Purple" — offered up a small detail about her love life in an interview with the Los Angeles Times when she recalled how she created her musical persona. According to the outlet, H.E.R. "the concept" was born out of a studio as the singer was recovering from a broken heart due to a toxic relationship, though she never name-dropped her ex. "I remember saying I'll never be that girl, I'll never be that girl that falls for the wrong guy," she said. "I was constantly criticizing that girl, and eventually, I found myself being that girl, being her."
Since then, the songstress hasn't shared much more about her current dating status or any past romances. In 2018 during an interview with 99 Jamz Radio, H.E.R. was asked if she was in a relationship, but she dodged the query with a fairly general response. "I'm living my life, y'know, so it's a number of things," she said. "We all have a lot of ups and downs — relationships or not. Lots of situations, more so than relationships. But, I'm just living my life."
Elsewhere, H.E.R. hasn't been romantically linked to any known names or celebrities. However, in November 2019, her fans speculated that she was involved with Bob Marley's grandson, Skip Marley, as the two were promoting their single, "Slow Down," though neither of the musicians ever addressed the rumors.
At this time, it's unclear if H.E.R. is single, dating, or in a relationship, but if we ever get any updates about her love life, it'll likely come directly from the source. Perhaps in song form?

PC Construction Completes Wastewater Treatment Plant for City of Palm Coast, Florida
June 27, 2018 | By Crystal DelleChiaie, Director of Marketing & Communications
Palm Coast, FL – PC Construction, among the nation's largest employee-owned construction companies, announced the completion of a new wastewater treatment plant for the City of Palm Coast in Florida. The $30 million facility will augment the city's existing treatment plant, which has neared capacity, and accommodate continued growth and development in the area.
The new facility will provide an additional 2 million gallons of treatment capacity per day. The resulting high-quality effluent will be used for irrigation and groundwater recharge, allowing the City to conserve potable water and decreatse the rate of groundwater withdrawal.
"Up until now, Palm Coast customers have had to dip into their potable water supply for agricultural uses, which has further constrained the plant's capacity," said Jim Landon, Palm Coast City Manager. "So this new plant is a critical component of the City's future development."
"This project is exactly the reason why water and wastewater treatment construction is so important," said Jay Fayette, president and chief operating officer at PC Construction. "With the addition of this facility, the City of Palm Coast will be able to efficiently meet the city's growth needs in a more efficient and sustainable manner. Building for the future, that's what it is all about."

The Californian judge has essentially sent a firm message to DCA that its spurious claims against the ZACR are deficient in law and don't stand up to proper scrutiny. "As matters currently stand, the next step in these US-based legal proceedings is to wait for the judge to rule on the ZACR's motion to reconsider his Preliminary Injunction. We are confident matters will again be concluded in our favour," said ZACR CEO, Lucky Masilela.
DCA now has the opportunity to amend its claims or the case against ZACR will be withdrawn. It is important to note that DCA's additional claims against ICANN (The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names & Numbers) are still being evaluated by the court.
The ZACR is the African Union Commission's preferred registry operator for the dotAfrica gTLD and also has more than the 60% required support from individual African governments. ZACR, Africa's largest registry operator, furthermore has a legally-binding ICANN Registry Agreement signed on 24 March 2014.
On 12 April 2016, the Central District Court of California granted a preliminary injunction in favour of DCA which prevented the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) from immediately delegating the rights to the dotAfrica gTLD to ZACR.
Subsequent to the preliminary injunction, ZACR has joined the litigation process directly and has requested the judge to reconsider his previous decision. The reason for the ZACR request is that the judge based his decision on a key factual error. DCA's application never passed ICANN's Initial Evaluation (IE) process and it is unlikely that it ever will because DCA simply does not have the requisite government support and has attracted significant government opposition.
"We will continue to support the court process and look forward to a speedy resolution that will advance Africa's Internet interests," concluded Mr Masilela.

Connecting the resource nexus to basic urban service provision – with a focus on water-energy interactions in New York City
Sustainable Cities and Society Volume 31, May 2017, Pages 83-94
Urban water and energy systems have essential and multiple interlinkages that should be considered when assessing the effects of efficiency and sustainability measures. A prototype Reference Resource to Service System (RRSS) framework is used to represent the urban water-energy nexus and linked impacts of measures. Indicative analysis based on example data for New York City reveals large variability in multi-resource and climate mitigation benefits. This paper relates to SDG's 6,7 and 11.

Projected health effects of realistic dietary changes to address freshwater constraints in India: a modelling study
Lancet Planetary Health, April 2017
The study addresses how food production can continue using reduced water whilst at the same time bring about improved health. The growing population in India will have an impact on water availability to be used in agriculture and so the study looks at dietary patterns which use less water. They find important synergies in diets with lower water use and positive health effects. This is in-line with the achievement of SDG 2, its related targets and to a further extent SDG 6.

How maize growers are countering critics with good husbandry
Farmers Weekly,
Critics claim that maize can cause unwanted environmental impacts. But supporters of the crop are able to show how by use of cover crops it can be grown responsibly, reducing or eliminating, for example, nutrient leaching and soil erosion. In south-west England, a Wessex Water project is using cover crops to protect and improve drinking water quality by working with growers whose farms surround boreholes and reservoirs that supply water for human consumption. Steps like this can contribute to SDG 6 to ensure sustainable management of water and SDG 12 to ensure sustainable production.

Giving the world access to water
Atlas March 2017
Despite the increased attention the sixth Sustainable Development Goal (clean water and sanitation) has brought, access to water in Sub-Saharan Africa is worse than ever: there are more people without access to water now than there were in 1990. In order to fix the problem we need to understand what's going wrong with our current approaches. That was the aim of an Atlas Award-winning study published in Water Resources and Rural Development, by researchers at Glasgow Caledonian University in Scotland, the University of Malawi in Malawi and the University of Lusaka in Zambia. Interestingly enough, since women and school aged girls are typically tasked with water fetching, by providing water access and sanitation authors feel there is an effect on others SDG like SDG 10 (reduced inequalities), SDG 4 (quality education) and SDG 5 (gender equality)

States, water, and climate: Who's planning for change?
Climate Risk Management, Volume 16, 2017, Pages 59-72
As the climate continues to change, climate scientists have projected changes in water quantities available for human and other uses. This quantitative study examines how in the US, state water plans and state hazard mitigation plans address climate change. The primary objective of this study is to determine what drives states to plan for the impacts of a changing climate, addressing SDG 13 on climate action.

California drought increases CO2 footprint of energy
Contributing to SDGs 6, 7 and 13, this paper discusses the CO2 footprint of California's drought during 2012–2014. The authors show that California drought significantly increased CO2 emissions of the energy sector by around 22 million metric tons, indicating 33% increase in the annual CO2 emissions compared to pre-drought conditions. They argue that CO2 emission of climate extremes deserve more attention, because their cumulative impacts on CO2 emissions are staggering. Most countries, including the United States, do not have a comprehensive a nationwide energy-water plan to minimize their CO2 emissions, therefore the authors argue that developing a national water-energy plan under a changing climate should be prioritized in the coming years.

Gilmore Lee grew up in northern Minnesota listening to a Canadian radio station. He got his first Sears fiddle when he was 9 and learned whatever he could off of the radio. His brother learned guitar and then they had a little duo. Gilmore became a part of the Red River Valley Fiddle Association and won trophies at many of the fiddle contests in northern Minnesota. When that association started to fade, Gilmore and others started the Minnesota State Fiddle Association in 1986. He has played in and judged hundreds of contests since then.


We report the first example of CO-enabled rhenium hydride complex-catalyzed inter- and intra-molecular hydroarylation of activated alkenes, with a broad reaction scope. α,β-Unsaturated ketones, esters and amides are all suitable for this transformation. It affords a novel and convenient protocol to construct 3-methylindolones. In addition, mechanistic investigations suggest that a rhenium carbonyl hydride species may act as a key intermediate.
