Answer Sheet: Book Excerpt: How Charter Schools Control Access
External Author — March 2, 2022 comments off
The following is an excerpt from "School's Choice: How Charter Schools Shape Access and Control Enrollment," a new book authored by Wagma Mommandi and Kevin Welner. The book describes 13 ways that the decisions of charter school operators shape who is enrolled in their schools.
Mommandi and Welner explain that some of these decisions are made before a parent applies to a charter school — such as decisions about how to advertise the school. Other decisions are made after a student is enrolled — such as choices about the excessive use of discipline approaches that push out students.
Finally, five of the 13 categories describe practices used during the application process. Chapter 8, which is excerpted below, explains one of these: "Send us your best: Conditions placed on enrollment."
You can read an accompanying piece to this here.
Note that the excerpt is condensed considerably, including the removal of citations or the use of hyperlinks in lieu of citations.
THE EXCERPT:
When charter schools place conditions on enrollment, these conditions often overlap with a broader set of exclusionary policies and practices. … A school that discourages enrollment by students with more severe disabilities, for example, might communicate this message through online program descriptions and through their applications, and then through expressly stated enrollment requirements. …
Many high-profile operators of charter schools have extended school days and years. KIPP schools, for example, routinely add 3–4 hours to the day and a few weeks to the year (e.g., via mandatory Saturdays and/or summer school). Although such extended days and more time in school are well intended and often beneficial and welcomed features of charter schools, they can effectively reduce access and become burdensome requirements for parents.
In a 2016 op-ed, parent Deborah Bennett identified these increased hours as a reason she chose to take her child out of Massachusetts's Conservatory Lab Charter School. She explained, "Our children put in marathon days, with only one break for recess in the middle. This kind of structure is not only harmful to students' physical and emotional well-being, it also runs contrary to recent research, which suggests that learners need physical breaks to promote academic achievement.".
Sometimes, this extended time is evident across a district's entire charter sector. In 2008, for instance, the New York City charter school sector as a whole offered an average of 30% more school time than the city's regular public schools. …
An interviewee told us about two charter schools in Cleveland that screen students who might be disciplinary burdens. A 2015 report from the Delaware General Assembly corroborated that the Ohio Virtual Academy has an enrollment procedure that asks for information, including psychological reports, custody documentation, disciplinary records, and any weapons violations. Meanwhile, Stockyard Community Elementary will not enroll any student who is currently under suspension or expulsion from any other school or district. Further, Stockyard asks parents about IEPs and behavior modification plans. (The application also requests a birth certificate.) Five states (Arizona, Illinois, New Hampshire, New York, and Texas) have charter laws with specific language that allows charter schools to deny admission to students who have been expelled or are in the process of being expelled or who have a criminal offense, according to a 2015 report published by the Delaware General Assembly. But just asking in applications about disciplinary history—rather than outright denial of admissions—can have the intended effect. As stressed by one of our attorney interviewees, this practice of asking students for a disciplinary or criminal record as part of the enrollment process has a large influence over who decides to enroll in a charter school.
Interestingly, even in those five states with permissive language about denial of admission, charter schools may be overreaching. In 2014, Harmony Public Schools, a Texas-based charter management organization with 54 campuses, was subject to a compliance review by the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights (OCR) that found students with disabilities and emergent bilinguals were significantly underrepresented. As set forth in the letter from OCR to Harmony … , although Texas state law provides that charter schools may exclude such students, OCR remained concerned that these practices may illegally have the effect of discriminating against students with disabilities and ELL students.
In Arizona, the law is slightly different. Charter schools may refuse to enroll students who are in the process of or have been expelled from another school, but they cannot deny students who have been or are in the process of being suspended. Yet the ACLU of Arizona found that 39 of the state's charter schools either refused to admit students with prior suspensions or implied that prior suspensions could affect admissions. In addition, the ACLU found that charters requesting disciplinary records often did not make it clear that the documentation would not affect a student's enrollment eligibility. This practice, the ACLU concluded, may suppress the enrollment of some students and send them a message that they are not welcome. …
Charter schools sometimes deny enrollment to students who fail to demonstrate high enough academic performance or who do not have high grades and test scores from previous years.
Simon (2013) noted a charter high school in California that "will not consider applicants with less than a 2.0 grade point average. Another will only admit students who passed Algebra I in middle school with a grade of B or better." She also pointed to states that allow charter schools to give admissions preferences to students who express interest in a school's theme or focus: "Some schools use that leeway to screen for students who are ready for advanced math classes or have stellar standardized test scores."
One of our interviewees shared that in addition to requiring that applications include copies of students' IEPs and birth certificates, Benjamin Franklin High School in New Orleans requires students to take an admissions test in reading, language, and math to avoid students whose test scores (combined with prior GPAs) are insufficient.
[T]his practice of explicitly screening applicants by academic performance is allowed in Florida, Louisiana, New Hampshire, Ohio, and Texas. [S]even states that appear to allow charter schools to include a preference for demonstrated interest or academic performance: again Florida, Louisiana, New Hampshire, and Texas, as well as Delaware, Pennsylvania, and Wyoming.
These sorts of preferences allow charter schools to select their desired students during the enrollment phase, by prioritizing seats for students with high academic potential. Some approaches include an academic preference in a lottery, some use prior academic achievement as a condition of enrollment, some require a demonstration as part of the application process, and some require students to have a demonstrated interest in the focus of the school. Supporters of these strategies contend that it is important for schools and students to match interests. This can ensure, for example, that a school focused on the arts identifies students with the talent and passion for art. The resulting barriers to entry, however, create elite schools that systematically exclude students who are less advantaged.
A [2016] report by the ACLU of Southern California and Public Advocates identifies 22 California charter schools that discriminate based on academic performance. For example, to apply as a sophomore to Western Center Academy in Riverside County, "Students must be earning an 'A' or 'B' in both Geometry and Biology," and "students must have an overall 3.0 or higher GPA with no failing grades." The school further "[r]equires 3.0 minimum G.P.A. without failing grades for 9th grade applicants, and 'A' or 'B' grades in Geometry (along with the 3.0 G.P.A. without failing grades) for 10–12th grade applicants".
Similarly, [the 2017] report by the ACLU of Arizona found that although most charter schools in Arizona appear to accept all students, many schools still signaled that low achievers might not be welcome. Close to half of charter schools analyzed in the report request academic records as part of the enrollment process and do not make it clear that those records will only be used for post-enrollment placement. The report also notes how a placement exam required by Heritage Academy Gateway was apparently used in order to effectively deny admission:
A parent filed a complaint with the Arizona State Board for Charter Schools in June 2016. The parent tried to enroll her daughter, who was entering 7th grade, for the 2016–17 school year. The school required her to take a placement test as part of the enrollment process. A few days after her daughter completed the placement test, the parent said she received a call from the school's registrar. "She called to let me know that the school wouldn't be a good fit for [my daughter] because she didn't score high enough," the parent wrote in her complaint. She said she asked if her daughter could participate in an organization and leadership class that the school offered to help students with the need for additional instruction. She said the registrar told her the class was only for students with an Individualized Education Program (IEP). The parent then asked if she could set up a meeting with the school to create an IEP for her daughter. The registrar, however, declined "and again said that she didn't think the school was going to be a good fit," according to the complaint.
Among the most common admissions preferences given by charter schools are those for siblings of current students, plus children of staff members and of the schools' founders. But this can be problematic, particularly for smaller, in-demand charters. … [A]fter these preferred applicants are admitted, schools can become virtually inaccessible to other families. Yet these preferences are very common. …
In Philadelphia, a 2015 audit of Infinity Charter School in Penbrook revealed a policy that gave preferential enrollment to children and grandchildren of its employees and board members. Infinity, a consistently top-performing charter school in the state, focuses on teaching gifted students and has had a waiting list of students wanting to gain admission since the school opened in 2003. The Pennsylvania auditor general concluded that this grandchildren policy created an unfair advantage to those students, which violated the intent of the state's charter school law.
In contrast, Arizona's charter school law clearly allows this, as well as … [preferences for grandchildren and for pupils who attended another charter school and even to the siblings of those pupils if the other charter school is run by the same Charter Management Organization]. …
[P]references for siblings and children for staff and founders … has a predictable effect of eluding outsiders. As explained by an Idaho teacher discussing preferences in that state, when a charter school's parents, board members, teachers, and existing student body are already affluent and White, preferences will ensure that the newest groups of students will continue to be so as well. …
In Georgia, charter enrollment guidelines allow a school to give priority to a group of students who are matriculating from another school. Taking advantage of that provision, Savannah Classical Academy gave priority to middle school graduates of another charter …, effectively squeezing out the many other applicants for high school slots on the charter's long wait list. …
For families in neighborhood public schools, enrollment is usually a simple process. But enrollment practices in decentralized, choice-based systems can be byzantine, particularly if the system has only minimal oversight. Enrollment preferences can strategically select high achievers and can deny enrollment to students with disciplinary histories. In schools with extended school days and years, required agreement to those terms can also significantly shape access. …

Gedo
Gedo Reportedly Has Not Quit NJPW, Will Not Be Joining WWE
Published 15th June 2019 at 2:16pm by Louis Dangoor
Rumours began circulating yesterday that New Japan Pro Wrestling booker Gedo had stepped down from his role with the company before Sunday's Dominion show. It was even believed that he could be on his way to WWE.
I don't have any other sources right now, bu if true this is HUGE NEWS!
Kakutolog, based on an article from https://t.co/x9gdW8bwc9, says that before Dominion this past Sunday Gedo stepped down as the booker of New Japan Pro Wrestling. https://t.co/D5ZWhy7zEh
— STRIGGA (@STRIGGA) June 14, 2019
Gedo has been a major part of NJPW's backstage team for well over ten years now, taking over has head booker in 2015. He also served as Kazuchika Okada's manager for six years from 2012-2018, and now manages former IWGP Heavyweight Champion Jay White.
Uproxx claimed in their report to have spoken to members of the NJPW backstage team, who stated that this was a "crazy rumour" and certainly not true.
On FW4online.com, Dave Meltzer has also shut down the rumours, claiming that Gedo told friends "he has no idea where [the rumour] came from":
"The story going around about Gedo being out as New Japan booker is false. No idea where it came from but New Japan has denied it, and Gedo has told friends he has no idea where it came from."
He also took to Twitter to say the following:
And to end the last 24 hours:
1) Gedo didn't quit
2) The people who didn't accept reality are still twisting themselves into pretzels
3) Chael Sonnen retires leaving a very complicated legacy and WWE should hire him as a heel manager
— Dave Meltzer (@davemeltzerWON) June 15, 2019
It appears as if the original article was merely an opinion piece, and this has been clarified thanks to translation from the Japanese website.
I have now read the original article on https://t.co/x9gdW8bwc9. The article is mainly an opinion piece with one key sentence presented as a fact:
"As an insider noted, Gedo has already stepped down from the job (as booker)."
Thanks to @brothermort for helping translate!

The Ideal Home Show London has finished for another year so now is the perfect time to look over the highlights from the new venue – Olympia, London.
This blue colour scheme is anything but cold, especially when teamed with the contemporary wood burner and plush metallic accessories. Although there is quite a large sofa and a lot of furniture in this room, the use of glass and mirrors make this living room feel much more spacious.
Botanicals are an interior trend that's set to stay! The vivid Green and Yellows in this room look great against the dark charcoal walls. The addition of white chairs and light pendant helps freshen and balance the overall look. Although the overall feel of this dining room is quite moody, the accessories and styling help take our minds straight to Spring/Summer.
The Copper Blush walls in this bedroom are a huge trend for 2015. This colour and two-tone paint effect really plays on the Mediterranean feel of this trend. This design has also incorporated another big trend this season. Bold geometric prints in a mix of styles and sizes help add splashes of extra colour to this bedroom.
We loved how eye-catching this stand was from www.Turkisde-light.com. The dizzying display of colours, patterns and lights looked great against the black back drop.
And of course the telephone box sofa on the Plumbs stand! We loved speaking to all who stopped by, and we hope everyone had as much fun as we did. We look forward to seeing you all next year!


There will be discussion of the film's political messages, controversy surrounding the portrayal of the Robert Heinlein novel, Paul Verhoeven's brilliance and his insanity, the Special Effects, the public reaction… AND at some point during the interview, Paul will make an exciting announcement about an upcoming event involving the film, cast and crew.
Of course, even though Paul is best known as an incredible film journalist and Non-Fiction author, it would be foolish not to highlight the fact that he is an award winning author of Fiction as well. At the end of the episode, we'll have the treat of hearing about one of his most recent, and most unique short stories.
As if all of this wasn't awesome enough on it's own… this Wednesday marks the debut of Chris Amick, as Alexis Diana's co-host and partner in crime. They say there's strength in numbers and The Experts is… expanding…. multiplying… like an army of alien spiders.
Tune in to Trigg.LA/live @ 5PM PT 2/29/2012 !

Q: how does Gzdoom run doom that is a 16bit application Hey does anybody know how Gzdoom runs An Old game like doom a 16bit application through Gzdoom source port
reason is because I am working on my own source port for doom but I am stuck on this problem because my source port is made on my 64bit windows 10 computer so any suggestions would be awesome. Also, My project is developed on a 64bit application. My main problem I can't load The Game Because The EXE Is Not Supported On My OS version of windows. Links and Comments Please.

A: GZDoom can run on modern computers because it's compiled as a completely separate modern program (either 32- or 64-bit). It does not run the original Doom program. Instead, the GZDoom project has changed the Doom source code to make use of modern technologies (e.g. OpenGL). A program that allows an old application to run on new computers would be an emulator.
You can find the GZDoom source code on GitHub. You can fork it and add your own changes, then compile that into a modern EXE. If you're trying to make your own Doom levels, Eevee's tutorial looks good.

Enová reakce (také Alderova enová reakce, jelikož ji objevil Kurt Alder) je reakce alkenu s allylovým vodíkem (enem) a sloučeniny obsahující násobnou vazbu (enofilem) a vzniká tak další vazba σ přesunem dvojné vazby enu a přemístěním vodíku mezi pozicemi 1 a 5. Produktem je substituovaný alken s dvojnou vazbou posunutou do allylové pozice.

Enové reakce jsou druhem pericyklických reakcí a tak jsou k jejich provedení často potřeba vysoce aktivované substráty a nebo vysoké teploty. Při reakci ovšem může ovšem být na enu i enofilu připojeno mnoho různých funkčních skupin. Bylo vyvinuto též mnoho enových reakcí katalyzovaných Lewisovými kyselinami, díky čemuž lze dosáhnout vysoké výtěžnosti a selektivity při mnohem nižších teplotách, což z enové reakce činí užitečný postup tvorby vazeb C−C při přípravě složitějších molekul.

Enový reaktant
Eny jsou látky s alespoň jednou vazbou pí a jedním či více aktivními vodíkovými atomy na allylové, propargylové nebo v α pozici. Skupiny v enech mohou být například alkenové, alkynové, allenové, aromatické, cyklopropylové a také vazby uhlík-heteroatom. Enové reakce se obvykle účastní allylový vodík allenových sloučenin, avšak u allenylsilanů dochází k přesunu allenového vodíku v poloze α vůči substituentu obsahujícímu křemík, čímž se vytváří silylalkyn. Enovou složkou reakce může být také fenol; příkladem může být reakce s dihydropyranem, která ovšem proníhá za vysokých teplot (150–170 °C). Eny s velkým úhlovým napětím a malými cykly reagují i za výrazně nižších teplot.

Byly též popsány eny se skupinami C=O, C=N a C=S, ovšem objevují se vzácně.

Enofilový reaktant
Enofily jsou molekuly s násobnými vazbami, které mají substituenty snižující elektronovou hustotu. Může jít o sloučeniny s násobnými vazbami mezi atomy uhlíku, mezi atomem uhlíku a heteroatomem (například C=O, C=N, C=S, C≡P) mezi dvěma heteroatomy (N=N, O=O, Si=Si, N=O, S=O), kumulenovými systémy (N=S=O, N=S=N, C=C=O, C=C=S, SO2) a nebo elektricky nabitými systémy (C=N+, C=S+, C≡O+, C≡N+).

Mechanismus

Soustředěný mechanismus a přechodné stavy
Hlavní interakcí hraničních orbitalů objevující se při enové reakci je ta mezi HOMO enu a LUMO enofilu. HOMO enu vzniká kombinací orbitalu vazby pí ve vinylové skupině a orbitalu vazby mezi uhlíkem a allylovým vodíkem. Všechny uhlíkovo-enové reakce mají vysokou aktivační bariéru, při reakcích propenu a ethenu je to asi 138 kJ/mol. S rostoucí polaritou (od ethanu k formaldehydu) enofilu má ovšem jeho LUMO větší amplitudu na uhlíku, což vede k většímu překryvu C-C a menšímu překryvu H–O, kvůli čemuž reakce probíhá asynchronně. Při nahrazení kyslíku sírou v molekule enofilu se aktivační bariéra snižuje na přibližně 61,5 kJ/mol. Zkoumáním aktivačních bariér a aktivačních napětí různých enových reakcí s propenem jako enovým reaktantem bylo zjištěno, že se aktivační bariéry postupně snižují v řadě H2C=CH2 > H2C=NH > H2C=CH(COOCH3) > H2C=O > H2C=PH > H2C=S a v této řadě se také reakce stává stále asynchronnější a aktivační napětí se postupně snižuje.

Uvedené vlastnosti tohoto typu reakce byly ověřeny experimentálně a reakce byla ve Woodwardově notaci označena jako [σ2s + π2s + π2s]. Jako meziprodukt tepelné enové reakce propenu s formaldehydem byla nejprve navržena molekula s obálkovou konformací a úhlem C–O–H o velikosti 155°.

V roce 2011 byly prozkoumány nekatalyzhované vnitromolekulární karbonylo-enové reakce používané na přípravu cyklopentanových fragmentů přírodních i umělých jatrofa-5,12-dienů, což je skupina P-glykoproteinových modulátorů. Výpočetními metodami bylo zjištěno, že reakce může probíhat přes dva různé spojené meziprodukty s obálkovými či podobnými konformacemi. Selektivita tohoto procesu se vysvětluje vlivem 1,3-transanulárních interakcí.

Studium karbonylo-enových reakcí probíhajících za přítomnosti Lewisových kyselin, jako například glyoxylát-enových reakcí katalyzovaných hliníkem, vedlo k domněnkám, že židličkové a podobné konformace zaujímají až později vznikající meziprodukty enových reakcí.

Radikálový mechanismus
Pokud je reakce podle soustředěného mechanismu geometricky nevýhodná, tak může tepelná enová reakce probíhat biradikálově nebo, pokud se v reakční směsi nacházejí iniciátory radikálů, přes volné radikály. Jako příklad lze uvést reakce cyklopentenu a cyklohexenu s diethylazodikarboxyláty, které mohou být katalyzovány iniciátory radikálů. Postupný průběh reakce je, jak je znázorněno na následujícím obrázku, podpořen cyklopentenylových a cyklohexenylových radikálů a také tím, že cyklopenten a cyklohexen by při soustředěném mechanismu obtížně zaujímaly ideální geometrii.

Regioselektivita
Podobně jako u každé cykloadice úspěšnost enové reakce značně závisí na sterické dostupnosti allylového vodíku u enu. Obecně platí, že methylové a methylenové atomy vodíku se odstraňují snadněji než methynové vodíky. U tepelných enových reakcí reaktivita klesá v řadě primární skupina > sekundární skupina > terciární skupina, což odpovídá stabilitě alkenového meziproduktu. Při reakcích katalyzovaných Lewisovými kyselinami snadnost odtržení methylového či methylenového vodíku značně ovlivňuje dvojice enofil/Lewisova kyselina.

Orientaci adice enu lze určit pomocí relativní stabilizace vznikajících částečných nábojů v nesymetrickém meziproduktu při tvorbě vazeb σ. Více zastoupený stereoizomer vznikne z přechodného stavu, u kterého jsou částečné náboje orientací enu a enofilu stabilizovány nejlépe.

Vnitřní asymetrická indukce
Při zkoumání diastereoselektivity s ohledem na nově vznikající chirální centra byly kvalitativně pozorovány endo produkty, tuto preferenci ovšem mohou pozměnit sterické efekty.

Vnitromolekulární enové reakce
Vnitromolekulární enové reakce mají nižší zápornou entropii aktivace, díky čemuž se často snadněji provádějí, dochází k nim i u jednoduchých enofilů, jako jsou neaktivované alkeny a alkyny. Vysoká regioselektivita a stereoselektivita těchto reakcí poskytuje možnost připravovat složité cyklické molekuly.

V závislosti na poloze skupiny spujující en a enofil Oppolzer rozdělil tepelné a Lewisovými kyselinami katalyzované vnitromolekulární enové reakce do tří druhů (I, II a III) a Snider přidal další druh (IV) (viz následující obrázek). Při těchto reakcích je překryv orbitalů enu a enofilu ovlivňován převážně geometrií přiblížení obou reaktantů.

Enové reakce katalyzované Lewisovými kyselinami
Tepelné enové reakce mají řadu nevýhod jako jsou potřeba vysokých teplot a vedlejší reakce, například protony katalyzované polymerace alkenů nebo izomerační reakce. Jelikož mají enofily nedostatek elektronů, tak jejich spojení s Lewisovými kyselinami reakci urychluje:

K zachytávání protonů se nejčastěji používají alkylaluminiové halogenidy, které rozšiřují možnosti enových reakcí a umožňují jejich zkoumání za mírnějších podmínek.

Lewisovy kyseliny mohou přímo vytvořit komplex s karbonylovým kyslíkem a proto bylo vyvinuto mnoho trialkylaluminiových katalyzátorů obsahujících vazbu C=O. Bylo zjištěno, že (CH3)2AlCl je velmi vhodným katalyzátorem enových reakcí α,β alifatických, především nenasycených, aldehydů a ketonů; tuto vlastnost má díky tomu, že příslušný komplex dále reaguje za vzniku methanu a hlinitého alkoxidu, což může zabránit přesmykům katalyzovaným protony a solvolýze, jak je znázorněno na následujícím obrázku:

Při řízených karbonyl–enových reakcích byla pozorována vysoká regioselektivita a stereoselektivita po přidání Lewisovy kyseliny, což lze vysvětlit pomocí meziproduktů s židličkovitými či podobnými konformacemi. Některé z těchto reakcí mohou probíhat za velmi nízkých teplot a stále přitom poskytovat velmi dobré výnosy jednoho stereoizomeru.

Reakční podmínky
Katalytická množství Lewisových kyselin jsou užitečná při mnoha enových reakcích s reaktiními enofily, protože omezují vedlejší reakce. Potřebné množství Lewisovy kyseliny se může značně lišit, jelikož záleží na realtivní zásaditosti enofilu a enového adduktu. Z hlediska rozpouštědel bývají největší výtěžky dosaženy při použití halogenovaných uhlovodíků jako rozpouštědel; polární rozpouštědla jako ethery nejsou vhodná, protože tvoří s Lewisovými kyselinami komplexy a tím je jakožto katalyzátory deaktivují.

Reaktivita enů
I když jsou sterické efekty stále významné při určení výsledku enových reakcí katalyzovaných Lewisovými kyselinami, tak mají významný vliv na reaktivitu i elektronové jevy, protože v těchto reakcích vzbiká na centrálním uhlíkovém atomu enu významný kladný náboj. V důsledku toho jsou alkeny s alespoň jedním disubstituovaným vinylovým uhlíkem mnohem reaktiuvnější než mono- nebo 1,2-disubstituované alkeny.

Mechanismus
Enové reakce katalyzovaných Lewisovými kyselinami mohou proběhnout soustředěným mechanismes, při kterém se tvoří polární meziprodukt, nebo postupným mechanismem s amfiontovým meziproduktem. Energie těchto mechanismů ovlivňuje výběr enu, enofilu i katalyzátoru; obecně platí, že čím reaktivnější je en nebo komplex enofilu a Lewisovy kyseliny, tím více je upřednostňován postupný mechanismus.

Chirální Lewisovy kyseliny používané při asymetrických enových reakcích

Chirální dialkoxytitanové komplexy a syntéza laulimalidu
K aktuálně studovaným tématům v oblasti enových reakcí katalyzovaných Lewisovými kyselinami patří vývoj asymetrické tvorby vazeb C-C. Bylo popsáno použití chirálního komplexu titanu (viz následující obrázek) při asymetrické enové reakci za vzniku prochirálního glyoxylátového esteru. Katalyzátor byl připaven na místě z (i-PrO)2TiX2 a opticky čistého binaftolu, výměna alkoxyligandů byla provedena pomocí molekulárních sít. Reakcí vznikají α hydroxyestery s vysokou enantiomerní čistotou, látky, které jsou významné biologicky i synteticky.

Jelikož jsou (S)-BINOL i (R)-BINOL běžně dostupné v enantiomerně čisté podobě, tak lze tímto postupem připravit oba enantiomery α hydroxyesterů a jejich derivátů. Uvedenou reakci lze ovšem použít pouze na 1,1-disubstituované alkeny, protože komplex titan-BINOL nemá příliš velkou kyselost.

Roku 1997 byl navrhnut počáteční meziprodukt této reakce za účelem vysvětlení pozorované vysoké enantioselektivity (za předpokladu, že je reakce exotermní, jak bylo vypočítáno ze standardních vazebných energií). I když struktura aktivního katalyzátoru není známa, tak tento model předpovídá následující: aldehyd je aktivován komplexací s chirálním katalyzátorem (R)-BINOL-TiX2 s formylovým volným elektronovým párem v poloze syn vzhledem k formylovému vodíku za vzniku struktuchiálně katalyzovanoury s koordinačním číslem 5. Vazba CH—O se opbjevuje na stereoelektronově nejvíce upřednostňovaném volném elektronovém páru kyslíku ligandu. V této látce je vrchní strana formylové skupiny mnohem lépe dostupná pro nukleofilní atak, protože spodní strana je krytá naftolovou skupinou.

Roku 2002 byla popsána totální syntéza laulimalidu, s využitím enové reakce - C3-C16 fragment jeho molekuly se vytváří chirálně katalyzovanou enovou reakcí vytvářející C15 stereocentrum. Reakcí koncové allylové skupiny sloučeniny 1 s ethylglyoxylátem za přítomnosti (S)-BINOL-TiBr2 jako katalyzátoru vzniká požadovaný alkohol se 74% výtěžností a 95% diastereomerním přebytkem.

Při tomto postupu není třeba připojovat na konec molekuly chránicí skupinu. Provedením této reakce se lze vyhnout tvrdším podmínkám a nižším výtěžkům spojeným se zaváděním exomethylenových skupin v dalším půběhu syntézy.

C2-symetrické měďnaté komplexy a syntéza (+)-azaspiracidu-1
D. A. Evans se svými apolupracovníky nový druh enantioselektivních C2-symetrických měďnatých katalyzátorů, které mohou zajišťovat chelaci substrátů prostřednictvím dvou karbonylových skupin. Tyto katalyzátory mají vysokou míru asymetrické indukce při některých reakcích, jako jsou enové reakce ethylglyoxylátu s různými nenasycenými alkeny.

U prvních dvou katalyzátorů se asymetrickou indukcí vytváří čtvercový komplex katalyzátoru s glyoxylátem, jak je zobrazeno na následujícím obrázku, přičemž je Re strana aldehydu stíněna terc-butylovými substituenty, díky čemuž alkeny atakují pouze Si stranu.

Význam postupu vyvinutého Evansem a spolupracovníky byl potvrzen úspěšnou přeměnou vznikajícího alfa-hydroxyesteru na odpovídající methylester, volnou kyselinu, Weinrebův amid a alfaazidoester, a to bez jakékoliv racemizace. Azidové odstranění alkoholu představuje užitečný způsob přípravy ortogonálně chráněných aminokyselin.

Syntetická přínosnost C2-symetrické měďnatých katalyzátorůl byla potvrzena přípravou C17 stereocentra části (+)-azaspiracid-1 kruhu (+)-azaspiracidu-1, což je jed vytvářený živočichy jako jsou ústřice, hřebenatky, škeble a srdcovky. Reakce vytvářející toto stereocentrum je katalyzována 1 molárním procentem měďnatého komplexu; autoři naznačují, že i při použití 20 g bude mít reakce velmi dobrý výtěžek a vysokou enantioselektivitu. Produkt je také možné, aniž by došlo ke ztrátě selektivity, převést na odpovídající Weinrebův amid, což umožňuje snadné zavedení C14 skupiny. Tento katalyytický enantioselektivní postup lze jednoduše zahrnout do složitějších syntéz, obzvláště na žačátku procesů, kdy je důležité dosáhnout vysoké výtěžnosti.

I was introduced to the Law of Attraction approximately 4 years ago, but let me explain. I've read every book, watched every course, watched every DVD, listened to every CD that I've found on the subject. Some seminars that I have in my possession are ones you would never see advertised that I'm told cost approx £10,000 to attend. I have created vision boards, used healing crystals, motivational posters around my room, created cheques to the value that I would like to attract, even written extensive lists detailing what I want to do and achieve with the money.
Aside from this I have had a resiliently positive attitude and thoroughly believed that the money is coming to me even visiting the places I want to live and sitting in the cars I would like to own.
But despite this I am still unwell and the most I have attracted in terms of money over the last 4 years is about £20 on the lottery. I have posted in this forum because I must be missing something, as I've even explained the process to friends and seen them succeed, could anyone be kind enough to explain what I need to do because I can't imagine what I'm doing wrong!


Towards the end of last year, I sat slumped in a chair near my husband's work desk, tearily recounting the mishaps I'd had in a particularly trying work day, when I received a phone call from a parent from my school. She had heard about the error in my project and just wanted to assure me that I was doing a great job, she recognised the hard work I was putting in, and hoped I was feeling okay.
You see, among other things, I was conscious that the error was my fault. But I was embarrassed and disappointed that weeks of hard work had amounted to nothing and I was temporarily sunk in a well of doom and gloom.
Her phone call made all the difference! It was so encouraging that someone had taken the trouble to ring me and affirm me. And she wasn't a particularly close friend, just someone prepared to put themselves out on a limb a little to brighten up my day. God bless her!
Later that evening, as I relaxed in front of a good movie, I received a text from a colleague. He had seen my day and he, too, affirmed what I do and wished me a good weekend.
On Saturday morning, when I checked my school emails, another colleague had sent me a supportive messge. My cup was overflowing. Normally a positive person, all I needed to bounce back from disappointment was a small injection of positivity. The three affirming messages combined to do this.
Jesus' positive attitude to Zacchaeus, to the Samaritan woman, and to the adulteress was what they needed to reform their lives. Having someone who bothers enough to affirm us can make all the difference in how we feel about a situation and how we face whatever's next.
It made me really conscious of trying to give back the same affirmation to others. Do I let my colleagues know what a great job they do? Or recognise my students who regularly work quietly and do homework without being hounded? Or let my family know how proud I am of them? Sometimes a little affirmation goes a long way.

By Ben Finley and Denise Lavoie | Associated Press
PUBLISHED: June 5, 2019 at 4:06 pm | UPDATED: June 5, 2019 at 4:25 pm
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — Police responding to the deadly mass shooting at a Virginia Beach municipal building were unable to confront the gunman at one point because they didn't have the key cards needed to open doors on the second floor.
Over the radio, they desperately pleaded for the electronic cards and talked of bringing in a sledgehammer, an explosive charge or other means of breaking down the doors.
The killer was eventually gunned down, and whether the delay contributed to the toll of 12 victims dead and four wounded is unclear. But the episode last week illustrated how door-lock technology that is supposed to protect people from workplace violence can hamper police and rescue workers in an emergency.
"That's definitely a blind spot that this particular shooting has shown," said Gregory Shaffer, a retired FBI agent and former member of the bureau's elite hostage rescue team. "We need to make sure that first responders have full access to the building."
The attacker, 40-year-old city engineer DeWayne Craddock, went from floor to floor shooting his co-workers in the rampage last Friday before he was finally killed on the second floor in a gun battle with police.
It was not clear how police finally got to Craddock. Virginia Beach police spokeswoman Linda Kuehn said police were unavailable to talk about the matter on Wednesday.
Police Chief James Cervera said the mayhem at the Virginia Beach Municipal Center lasted nearly 36 minutes from the time the gunman started shooting until police took him down.
At about the same time officers were evacuating terrified employees from the third floor, other officers were on the second floor, frantically trying to get to the gunman after he fired at them through doors and walls. On police scanners, officers could be heard becoming exasperated as they tried unsuccessfully to get into locked areas.
"We need access keys. The doors are locked, we need access keys. I know I've got citizens in one area of the second floor I can't evacuate," said one officer.
Key cards have become a standard feature of building security at workplaces around the country. The technology has been used for decades, but it wasn't until after 9/11 that it really began to proliferate, said Tom Manger, a former police chief in Virginia and Maryland and now senior associate director of the Major Cities Chiefs Association.
"It became seen as best practice. And today it is seen by most people as not only best practice but as a necessity," Manger said.
But in many workplaces, security experts say, police often lack quick access to cards or codes — a situation that could cost them precious minutes in a mass shooting. One exception is schools, which have been at the forefront in ensuring that police can quickly get inside with their own key cards or other methods.
Key card technology posed a problem for some of the police officers who responded to a shooting rampage at the Washington Navy Yard in 2013, according to a report by the city's police. Aaron Alexis, a former Navy reservist, killed 12 people before being shot dead in the maze-like, 600,000-square-foot building.
A Washington police officer "had the presence of mind" to take a building access card from a deceased security guard, allowing a team of first responders to get into secure areas, the report said.
Police in some cities have made arrangements to install lock boxes containing key cards or keys outside public and private buildings. But Manger said "there's not enough key cards and lock boxes in the world" to give emergency responders easy access to every building.
"There's no option that's perfect," he said. "You've got to sort of tailor it the building and the situation. But what you can say universally is that this is a conversation and a discussion that needs to happen ahead of time to make sure that first responders can get to a place they need to go."
In the case of the Virginia Beach shooting, the police department and the operations building where the shooting took place were part of the same complex, and police had to run maybe 300 yards to get there. Both the police and the departments inside the building are city agencies.

Shaffer said police are trained to break into buildings and often have the tools to do so, as the radio chatter about sledgehammers and explosives indicated, and he defended the handling of the mass shooting by the Virginia Beach force. He said police "definitely saved lives through their fast response."
"They did exactly what they were supposed to do and ran toward the gunfire," he said.

Webinar: What are the implications of voluntary assisted dying for nursing practice?
Voluntary assisted dying (euthanasia and assisted dying/suicide) (VAD) is a major legal, ethical and policy issue with significant implications for health systems, multidisciplinary health care professionals and communities. In Australia, VAD is lawful in Victoria in limited circumstances, has recently commenced in Western Australia since early July, and will be lawful in Tasmania in due course. This seminar aimed to outline key implications of VAD for nursing practice. It did not intend to focus on arguments for or against VAD but instead to provide an overview and insights about the nurses' role in VAD from a legal and clinical practice perspective. You can listen to a sneak peek of the seminar though our nursing podcast below.

Out of Trouble, the Prison Reform Trust's five year programme to reduce child and youth imprisonment, ran between 2007-2012.
It was funded by The Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fund.
Young lives behind bars: The health and human rights of children and young people detained in the criminal justice system, sets out how doctors can recognise risk factors for future offending and seize the opportunity to intervene.
If you ever wanted to build up the adult prison population of the future, then you would lock up children and young people in bleak, unhealthy institutions. As outlined by the BMA, the need to take a consistent, professional approach underpinned by human rights principles cannot be over-stressed. Why? Because it is evidence-based, stands free of short-term political considerations and is the right thing to do.
The British Medical Association sets out with clarity and integrity the human rights principles that provide the foundation for good work with vulnerable children in trouble with the law. Its report comes at a time when the nature of child imprisonment is once more under Parliamentary scrutiny. New legislative proposals include the re-introduction of use of restraint, not only as a last resort to prevent harm, but also as a means to maintain good order and discipline.
The fundamental principle that governs a healthy prison system - that people are sent to prison as a punishment, not for punishment – all too often risks being undermined by political efforts to make regimes seem, or indeed become, more punitive and by a determined emphasis on 'proper punishment'.
Yet most of the children and young people punished by imprisonment know about punishment already. Long before they get into trouble and become caught up in the criminal justice system, very many young offenders are used to punishment - not as a measured, proportionate response to wrongdoing but as random acts of cruelty or abuse often born of frustration and ignorance. What has not been part of their lives is consistent care, clear guidelines, a sense of wellbeing and an understanding of reparation and a means to make amends.
As this report makes clear, young offender institutions and other places of youth detention are not full of happy, healthy children and young people. The Prison Reform Trust commissioned a study of children in prison to learn more about the 6,000 children who went into some form of custody in the six months from July to December in 2008. Led by Professor Mike Hough and Dr Jessica Jacobson and colleagues then at King's College, the study, 'Punishing Disadvantage', focused on who are the children who end up in custody, and what crimes have they committed that necessitate being detained. Around 40 per cent of those children had been on the child protection register. About 70 per cent were already known to social services. High numbers had truanted and experienced parental neglect or untimely bereavement. Many had unmet mental health needs or a learning disability or difficulty. A depressingly familiar story for health and justice professionals and others who care for vulnerable young people.
This timely, authoritative report presents an overview of the complex reasons why children and young people offend, their multiple needs and the challenges they present. It enables practitioners and policy makers to reflect on their work with young people in trouble. And it asks the simplest of question which, in the context of criminal justice, are often the hardest to answer: 'How can children begin to thrive? What helps keep vulnerable children and young people safe?
Not all, but very many, of the solutions to youth crime lie outside prison bars in early intervention, support for troubled families, child and adolescent mental health, social care, treatment for addictions and ensuring that children and young people are supported to take responsibility and find solutions for themselves. An almost 60 percent reduction in child imprisonment over the last seven years, a resounding triumph across departments and for successive governments, offers a tremendous opportunity for health and justice professionals to focus on the most vulnerable children and help them to get out of trouble.
Out of Trouble was a Prison Reform Trust campaign which worked to reduce the number of children and young people who are imprisoned in the UK.
Children as young as ten can be imprisoned for committing a crime in this country. Imprisonment involves a total loss of liberty and can be very damaging, particularly for those who are still growing and maturing.
30 children have died in custody since 1990, the youngest of whom was 14. Boys in prison are 18 times more likely to commit suicide than boys in the community. As well as being damaging, imprisonment doesn't work – three quarters of all under 18 year-olds who are imprisoned will reoffend within a year of leaving - and is incredibly expensive, with two thirds of the Youth Justice Board's budget spent on locking-up children in England and Wales.
We believe prison should be reserved for children and young people who have committed serious crimes. Most children and young people have a better chance of turning their lives around and of keeping out of trouble if they serve their sentences in the community and get support from local services. If fewer were imprisoned, those inside could get the help they need to turn their lives around.
For most young people, out of trouble means keeping them out of prison.
What I've heard from different police officers when I've been arrested, it's like, 'you're a kid in care, you're never [going to] get out of this way of life. You're in care, kids in care are always on drugs, kids in care always make themselves unsafe, kids in care always self-harm'. So they sort of put a title on kids in care like they're something bad.
New research from the Prison Reform Trust and National Children's Bureau (NCB), indicates looked after children are far more likely to be convicted of a crime and end up in custody than other children.
Fewer than 1% of all children in England were looked after at 31st March 2011.
The 2010-11 annual survey of 15-18 year olds in prison found that more than a quarter of boys (27%), and over half of girls (55%), had been in care at some point before being sentenced to custody.
Making sure local authorities fulfil their statutory obligations to looked after children wherever they are placed.
Allowing children to stay in placements where they are happy and involving them in the decisions which affect their lives.
Protecting children from regular changes in social work staff by ensuring every child in care has one consistent adult in their life who will respect and support them.
Making sure that local authorities treat children in care who get into trouble as any other parent would.
Maintaining contact with looked after children who end up in custody through regular visits and putting plans for their release in place at the earliest opportunity.
These interviews serve to remind us that there is no quick fix to reducing the involvement of looked after children in the criminal justice system. Each child has their own unique strengths and vulnerabilities and the adults working with them must provide a care experience that reflects these. When it comes to the risk of offending, quality really does protect.
It is a huge step for the state to assume the parenting of a child or young person. With that comes the responsibility to provide stability, security and hope for the future. Sadly, the failure to secure proper care and support at this time, so critical in the development of the child, results in the continuation of the downward spiral towards imprisonment. We must not stand by and allow wasted opportunities to result in wasted later lives.
Let down by families and local authorities alike, far too many children find themselves on the dreary, damaging route from care to custody. Too often the state proves to be a poor parent as the tiny minority of children in care become the substantial number behind bars.
Children in care are some of the most vulnerable young people in our society. Many have experienced abuse and neglect, others the death of a parent or sibling. Most experience a disrupted education and move home many times during the most formative period of their lives. This important report provides recommendations for policy-makers and practitioners on how aspects of the care system could be enhanced to reduce the risk of children and young people entering the criminal justice system. Coming as this does from those who have first-hand experience of the care system – looked-after children themselves - we would all do well to give it our special attention.

Politics, Religion, Gossip & More: SMC 04/07/13
Sunday Morning Coffee, that relaxing time where I share with you my opinion about politics, religion and share some (often) juicy gossip. Fun ain't it? If you would like to respond here, feel free or let's connect on my personal Twitter Stream @MichaelLibbie and my personal Facebook Page is right here. OK...enough! We've got LOTS to talk about.
Segregation in the South? It's a Myth!
Our enlightened friends south of the Mason-Dixon Line just can't help themselves. This past week Alabama (the same state that wants to gut the Voter Rights Act) pardoned the Scottsboro Boys. For those who may not know, back in 1931 nine young African-American men were fingered, tried and found guilty of raping a young Caucasian woman. Problem was, they didn't do it. It is a captivating story. The young men went to prison and the last surviving member of the Scottsboro Boys died in 1989. Now, 14 years later, the Alabama Legislature has "found a way to pardon the boys". It is being hailed as a progressive move. And, that is pure BS. A "progressive move" would have been to enact whatever it took to pardon them decades ago.
There Ain't No Segregation in the South - Part Two
When my Republican friends (Jim?) crow about "local school rule" I wonder if this is what they have in mind? I was shocked to learn that in the enlightened state of Georgia the Wilcox County High School has allowed segregated student events for...decades. This year four brave young people said, "Enough!" and are attempting to put on an "Interracial Prom". But it ain't that easy. They have been mocked, bullied and threatened. But perhaps...
Jesus Is The Answer?
Once again we hear from our friends "down south". This time from the North Carolina Legislature where nine (9) Republican lawmakers sponsored a bill that would create a "State Religion". The intent was to thumb the collective (and always odd) North Carolina Nose at the First Amendment regarding the anti-establishment clause and, in particular, defend the Rowan County Board of Commissioners who are being sued by the North Carolina ACLU for opening their meetings with sectarian prayers to....nope not Buddha...but our good friend Jesus. It's early in 2013 and already the GOP, which (according to its recent PR attempt) wants to transform itself into a more open and "accepting" political entity. These are the same folks who, already, have: put up bans on abortion rights, rejected marriage equality, attacked contraception access, targeted Planned Parenthood and go after sex-education. That "big tent" is getting smaller by the day. But, there is more fun...
South Carolina Picks the Loser
Former Governor Mark Sanford (R-SC) won a primary battle last week in his bid to represent the enlightened state in the US Congress. The former married father of four said he was hiking the Appalachian trails when, in 2009, he "disappeared" for SIX DAYS. In reality he was doing the "bump & grind" with his mistress former Argentine journalist Maria Belen Chapur (ain't that hot) who showed up at the victory celebration. At least the GOP is consistent in their love for these guys. Visions of Newt Gingrich... Sanford will go on to beat Democrat Elizabeth Colbert-Busch in the May special election. Why? "Colbert-Busch doesn't represent the conservative values of the district." (Ben Frasier) Weary.... But...this was fun!
Gov. Sanford is so loved by the folks in South Carolina that he finished those 500 days and his term in 2011. But enough about "the south" let's talk about the fun of gun violence.
Goofy But, I Understand
Last week I penned a piece asking you to help me understand the strong attachment many of you have with firearms. So strong that you oppose mandatory background checks, high capacity magazines and a ban on assault rifles. My friend (and he really is) Justin Brady had the guts to take me on in the public comments and suggested that we should "ban swimming pools" because more kids die in them than by gun violence. There is a word for that debate tactic...obfuscate. The reality is this: In 2011 there were 5,285 deaths of children by firearms. That same year Canada experienced 153 child gun deaths, France: 109 and Japan: 0. On average 4,000 US kids are killed each year because of guns. (Average swimming pool deaths for kids amount to 226). There is something really wrong here and while limiting magazines to ten rounds or less may not have spared one child in Newtown...it also may have. What might that have been...worth?
Fired Up - Ready to Go!
That's the feeling of Iowa Democrats as the 2014 cycle begins. This past week Cong. Bruce Braley (D-IA) was making the rounds in Western Iowa, long considered a "GOP Stronghold" because...well, I don't really know. Cong. Braley announced his candidacy for the US Senate to replace Sen. Tom Harkin (D-IA) who retires in 2014. He had stops in Fort Dodge, Carroll, Council Bluffs, Denison, Red Oak, Creston and Osceola before capping the two day swing at a Polk County (Des Moines Metro) event honoring long-time political insider Ed Skinner. I asked Cong. Braley why he started so early...
Braley has an impressive grassroots story and, on Thursday evening, delivered it well to the nearly 200 standing room only crowd. This is going to be fun...and, if you are able, I'd ask you to join the campain now. Here is the link to his site and his story.
More Party News
Ed Skinner is an amazing man in Central Iowa Democratic Politics and he was honored for his long and faithful support to the party and our ideals. On hand were dozens of friends, family and political heavy weights. Speaking words of praise were former Congressman Leonard Boswell, Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller (D-IA) and lawyer and party activist Tom Whitney. But, it was Ed Skinner who caused the biggest ripple and a standing O for his choice of which Democrat should run against Cong. Tom Latham (R-IA) for the 3rd Congressional District in 2014. He looked out into the crowd and said, "There is a person in this room who can take on Tom Latham and beat him. That person is whom me and my family support. Staci Appel, stand up and be recognized!" She did and everybody in the crowd stood with her including others who had been mentioned as possible candidates, former Lt. Gov. Patty Judge, State Senator Janet Peterson (D-Des Moines) and activist Andy McGuire who was sitting just to my right. I asked Staci about the endorsement and she said, "Michael, I am shocked. I never expected Ed to do something like that. Shocked and honored." If the Democrats are going to mount a real challenge against Latham they better get busy. Cong. Latham is becoming a fixture in the House. Who's in?
Yet...More:
My friend Sam Reno received the Volunteer of the Year award from the Polk County Democrats. Sam is best known for his recent work in the 2012 Obama victory and for turning Beaverdale into Obamadale. Sam and his crew are amazing and they continue to work for progress. I'm proud to know him and call him a friend. Nice going and a great selection that should inspire others. It was great to see so many fired up friends and if I start naming them...I'm gonna screw up and miss several. However, seeing Susan Judkins warmed my heart. She's gotta stay in to defeat the extremest (posing as a nice guy) Rep. Chris Hagenow (R-Windsor Heights) in 2014. It's past time.
Gov. Terry Branstad (R-IA) is still set on denying Medicaid coverage to 150,000 Iowans. But...he is willing to spend more state money on a half-baked program which will cover fewer people. In an effort to be even more "half-baked" the Iowa House GOP sent up their health care bill last week. I wish I made this stuff up but here's a great image from some of my friends in the Iowa Senate. Shocking huh?
The Republicans in the Iowa House also failed to take up the common sense Made in Iowa Bill. Senate File 170 came out of the Commerce Committee and was meant to give preferential treatment to state contracts/purchases of products made in...Iowa. I dunno either but, this was a key campaign idea that was also championed by my friend Desmund Adams during his two year campaign for the Iowa Senate. That too failed to gain traction among our business elite. 2014 can't come soon enough! For a listing of the bills my friends in the GOP controlled house decided to tank...here's a link. Shocking.
I'm about to piss off my atheist friends but, let me be clear, you are entitled to believe in not believing. I frankly don't care. On Wednesday we concluded the seven (eight outside of Israel) days of Passover or Pesach (Hebrew) that (here it comes, close your eyes) The Bible (Torah) says, "Matzos shall be eaten throughout the seven days; and there shall no chametz (leavening) seen with you, neither shall there be leaven seen with you, in all your borders." (Exodus 13:7) Chametz is made of corn, wheat, rye, soy and whatever the hell spelt is... "Borders", in this case, means your home because, unlike my Republican friends I have no intention to invade your home and tell you what to do there. Anyway all of this means that we rid our homes of chametz, food, dishes, etc. On Wednesday, to help you get the drift of Jewish Spring Cleaning I made this quick video.

The crowd at the 2018 Newport Folk Festival got a totally unexpected treat when Crosby came out to play with Isbell.
The singer-songwriter wore a white rose, and backed it up with some poignant thoughts about equality in the music industry.
See a preview of the singer/songwriter's heartfelt set, which includes six songs from his Grammy-nominated album.
The top spots go to artists with a long history of making great country music.
