Citation: ZHANG SHENG (2009-07-23). Development of novel chiral stationary phases for HPLC based on covalently bonded polysaccharide derivatives. ScholarBank@NUS Repository.
Abstract: A new class of chiral stationary phases (CSPs) has been synthesized by immobilization of azido cellulose phenylcarbamate (AzCPC) derivatives onto aminopropyl silica gel. Immobilization is via the Staudinger reaction to form stable urea linkage. Various racemic analytes are resolved on these CSPs by HPLC in standard and non-standard normal phases. Three series of chiral stationary phases have been prepared to investigate the synthesis of AzCPCs, the immobilization of AzCPCs, the effect of the amount of azido group and substitution groups on the performance of the CSPs. The homogeneous synthetic route for AzCPC is more efficient than the "protection-deprotection" synthetic route. The "bonding-with-pre-coating" immobilization approach is superior to the "bonding-without-pre-coating" immobilization approach. The optimum iodine-cellulose ratio in the homogeneous synthetic route is determined to be 1.5:1. In the "substituted AzCPC" series, CSP AzCPC-3,5-(CH3)2 has the best overall performance, followed by CSP AzCPC-4-CH3, AzCPC-3-Cl, AzCPC-4-Cl and AzCPC-4-I.

Mariah Carey: The Diva, The Drama
In the year 2000, 30-year-old Mariah Carey was the most successful female recording artist of all time. In September that year she began filming Glitter, her pet project, a film based on her childhood and her extraordinary rise to fame. But 12 months later she'd suffered a complete emotional and physical breakdown and her career lay in ruins. This is the story of how and why Mariah's world buckled then collapsed. With unprecedented access to her brother Morgan and sister Alison and first-hand accounts from her closet collaborators, 'Mariah: The Diva, The Drama' unpacks the dramatic forces that shaped Mariah's life in the public eye, shed's new light on her outrageous diva behaviour – and reveals her continuing battles with the demons that almost destroyed her nearly 2 decades ago

Ronald Franklin Block (Gardena, 30 juli 1964) is een Amerikaanse muzikant (banjo, gitaar), singer-songwriter en producent.

Biografie
Ron Block hoorde op jonge leeftijd al een verscheidenheid aan muziek, omdat zijn vader de muziekzaak Hogan's House of Music had in Zuid-Californië. Hij werd beïnvloed door de bluegrassmuziek van Bill Monroe, J.D. Crowe en The Stanley Brothers. Op 13-jarige leeftijd , nadat hij Earl Scruggs had gezien op de televisie, leerde hij banjo spelen. In zijn tienerjaren leerde hij ook akoestische- en elektrische gitaar spelen. Later in zijn carrière nam hij het album Hogan's House of Music (2015) op met instrumentale muziek, opgedragen aan de muziekzaak waar hij de meeste tijd van zijn jeugd doorbracht.

Tijdens de jaren 1980 was hij mede-oprichter van de band Weary Hearts met Eric Uglum, Butch Baldassari en Mike Bub, daarna speelde hij bij de Lynne Morris Band, voordat hij zich in 1991 voegde bij Union Station. Tijdens zijn carrière nam hij ook soloalbums op, geproduceerd en vertolkt op albums van Dolly Parton, Clint Black, Brad Paisley en Bill Frisell.

Block schreef song voor Union Station en voor zijn eigen soloalbums. Zijn songs werden opgenomen door Randy Travis, Rhonda Vincent, Michael W. Smith en The Cox Family. Blocks twee favoriete songs waren A Living Prayer en There is a Reason, beiden opgenomen met Alison Krauss & Union Station, beiden overeenkomstig zijn christelijk geloof.

In the afternoon there was another collision with a hit and run on the "Flying Mozart" piste. A 19-year-old Dutch snowboarder was hit by an unknown person. The 19-year-old suffered a broken bone in the area of his right shoulder.
The next accident happened just minutes later on the same runway. A 17-year-old German was allegedly rammed by an unknown person. The German fell and suffered a concussion. The 17-year-old could not remember exactly how the accident happened. He was taken to the hospital.
Two other winter athletes collide
Around noon there was also a collision between a 53-year-old Austrian and a 19-year-old Dutchman. The 53-year-old had stopped and was rammed by the 19-year-old who was coming. As a result of this collision, the 53-year-old was injured to an unspecified degree. Paramedics took her to the hospital.

Q: access fixed elem when using $(fixedElem).on(event, dynamicElem, func) If you have dynamic elements that need listeners you do something like this:
$(fixedElem).on(event, dynamicElem, function(e){
    // Here 'this' is the dynamicElem that the event fired on
});

How can I get the fixedElem that the listener was added to?

A: You can use event.delegateTarget:
$(fixedElem).on("event", "dynamicElem", function(e) {
    console.log(e.delegateTarget);  // Here, fixedElem will be logged.
});

February 14, 2010 – A few days ago, while deleting old emails, I came across the farewell memo I wrote on the occasion of leaving a law firm eight years ago. My departure from that firm was not of my own choosing; rather it was a result of the rampant downsizing which ensued after the high tech bubble burst in 2001. Reading the memo after so many years, I was struck by its relevance to the topics of change and happiness which I've been writing about recently. And so I decided to share this piece of personal history here.
"Life is flux." Thus did Heraclitus, one of the early pre-Socratics, establish his philosophical immortality. For indeed life, as we experience it, is in flux – by way of change.
"Perhaps in a perfect world filled with perfect beings, constancy might be not merely the world's defining characteristic, but also the way things ought to be. For why change that which is perfect?
"But for us, the imperfect beings that we are, living in an imperfect world, constancy – the absence of change – sounds the death knell of life. Not only do we experience life through the changes we perceive in reality, for in the absence of change we have no focal point against which to measure the nature of things; but also, change, being the method by which we grow, gives us hope for a better future and becomes a tool, nay the Tool, to actualize it. Rather than avoiding change we ought to embrace it.
"And so, yielding to the dictates of life, i.e., change, I have come to bid you all a hopeful farewell. My two and a quarter years with the firm have been both productive and meaningful. The shared work environment, the occasional smiles and laughs and the few friendships established have all left their mark.
Positive, transformational change, forward looking attitude, with hope for the future – these are the perspectives which lead us towards success and happiness.

vTag Lands in the U.S.A.
Daniel Sefton / 28th Oct 20
Now available in the U.S. on iOS, vTag uses the latest in AR technology to enable our community to create, share, and discover 3D avatar moments that live in the real world!
It's time to party like it's the 4th of July, because vTag is coming to the U.S. of A! Back in July, we released our avatar-based messaging app in the UK, and from today, users in America can bring personal 3D avatar moments into their world through augmented reality (AR).
Not in the US?
No problem! vTag is available globally – from Australia to Austria, Jamaica to Japan, or Malaysia to Mexico, you can get creative with personalized avatars that live in the real world. In fact, the only country where vTag isn't yet available is China!
What is vTag?
vTag is the first cross-world 3D avatar messaging app, enabling you to make up to six highly customizable avatars and bring them to life with your own facial expressions and body movements!
Send vTags directly to be viewed in full 3D through the AR camera, drop them in real-world locations for friends to find later, or use them to level up your social through immersive AR content! Use the app's built-in scenes, dances, and emotes to give your vTags a creative edge, and flex the latest outfits with regular item drops!
Combine all these features and you have more than just a message – you have a 3D avatar moment, or as we call it, a vTag!
But I need to know more!
We've designed vTag to unlock the creativity in our community, giving you everything you need to explore this new medium of self expression.
The app has been designed to give you the space to get creative with meme culture, fashion, and fast-moving social trends. Express yourself in avatar form or use vTag to become whoever you want to be!
We will also be dropping the latest styles, moves, and scenes in the vTag shop so that you can create truly personalized avatar moments.
We've built vTag for our community, and we are always on the lookout for suggestions about how our users can get the most out of the app. We've already released some early-access features for you to try out, and your feedback will help us to refine and improve the app for everyone!
You can send your suggestions to feedback@vtag.com
Over the next few months, we're bringing in features to help you to make your vTags even more creative, and we're working to expand the app to include featured content from our favorite artists and brands. This means that in the future, you can share in 3D avatar moments from the people and companies that you love, whether you're sitting at home, or you're out in the real world!
You can download vTag from the App Store here or visit vTag.com for more information.

Financial Services Regulation & Compliance - Insurance Nov 2017
Central Bank consults on approach to third-country branches
The Central Bank of Ireland has published a consultation paper on its proposed approach to the authorisation and supervision of branches of third-country insurers. The paper includes:
a policy statement
a handbook of requirements providing a supervisory framework for third-country branches
an addendum to the Domestic Actuarial Regime which the Central Bank proposes applying to third-country branches
draft guidance and a checklist for completing and submitting third-country branch authorisation applications
In its policy statement, the Central Bank explains that its overarching approach to third-country branches is to ensure that policyholders are provided with the same level of protection as they would have with an EEA-authorised insurer. Feedback on the paper is requested by 5 February 2017.
Central Bank publishes information note on major changes to internal models
The Central Bank has published a new Solvency II information note which sets out its approach and expectations in relation to applications seeking approval for major changes (which may include an accumulation of minor changes) to approved internal models and extensions of scope (e.g. to cover new risks). According to the note, the Central Bank's approach will be similar to the internal model approval process and that the informal pre-application phase will be used whenever possible. Insurers are reminded to engage as early as possible in relation to planned changes.
Central Bank proposes new insurance renewal requirements
On 9 November 2017, the Central Bank published a consultation paper proposing amendments to the Non-Life Insurance (Provision of Information) (Renewal of Policy of Insurance) Regulations 2007. The proposed amendments are based on recommendations from the Cost of Insurance Working Group and include:
increasing the notice period for renewal notifications from 15 to 20 working days
requiring a breakdown of premium cost for motor insurance
Submissions on the consultation are invited before 9 February 2018.
Civil Liability (Amendment) Act 2017 signed into law
On 22 November 2017, the President signed the Civil Liability (Amendment) Act 2017 into law (the Act). Among other matters, the new Act will permit the courts to make periodic payment orders as an alternative to lump sum awards in cases of catastrophic injury. It is expected that the Act will be commenced shortly by the Minister for Justice and Equality.
Update on the Insurance Distribution Directive
On 16 November 2017, the European Parliament Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs published a letter to the European Commission repeating its call to postpone the application of the Insurance Distribution Directive (IDD) to 1 October 2018. In the meantime, it has been reported that the Council of the European Union has decided not to object to the two Commission Delegated Regulations supplementing the IDD in the areas of:
information and conduct of business requirements for insurance-based investment products (C2017/6229)
product oversight and governance (C2017/6218).
The two Delegated Regulations will enter into force 20 days after their publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
European Commission adopts new Solvency II Implementing Regulations
On 9 November 2017, the European Commission adopted a new Implementing Regulation (EU/2017/2015) on the calculation of technical provisions and basic own funds for the purpose of Solvency II reporting with reference dates from 30 September 2017 until 31 December 2017. On 25 November, the European Commission adopted two further Implementing Regulations amending and correcting previous measures laying down technical standards with regard to:
the templates for the submission of information to supervisory authorities under Solvency II (EU2017/2189)
the procedures, formats and templates of the solvency and financial condition report (EU2017/2190)
EU / US bilateral agreement provisionally applied
On 7 November 2017, a notice was published in the Official Journal of the European Union confirming the provisional application of the bilateral agreement between the European Union and the United States on prudential measures regarding insurance and reinsurance. The agreement was signed in September 2017 and covers, among other matters, group supervision and the exchange of insurance information between supervisors.
EIOPA consults on second set of advice on the Solvency II Delegated Regulation
On 6 November 2017, the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA) published a consultation on its second set of advice on specific items in Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/35. The consultation is focussed on areas of the solvency capital standard formula not addressed in its first set of advice and proposes possible simplifications to calculations in the standard formula. Areas covered include: mortality and longevity risks, catastrophe risks, market risk concentration, look-through, risk margin and counter-party default risk. Responses are invited until 5 January 2018.
EIOPA publishes report on the investment behaviour of insurers
On 16 November 2017, EIOPA published a report based on the results of a survey conducted earlier in the year which sought to identify trends in the investment behaviour of insurers over the last five years against the backdrop of the persistent low yield environment. According to the report, the survey results reveal trends that could be associated with search-for-yield behaviour such as:
increased exposures towards lower credit rating quality fixed income securities
more illiquid investments such as non-listed equities and loans
increased investment activity in non-traditional asset classes such as infrastructure, mortgages and real estate.
Court rules obligation to obtain consent before appointing lawyer incompatible with EU law on legal expenses insurance
On 27 October 2017, the European Free Trade Association Court (the EFTA Court) ruled that terms and conditions in a legal expenses contract which operate to release an insurance company from its obligations if the policyholder appoints a lawyer without its prior consent are incompatible with Article 201(a) of the Solvency II Directive. Article 201(a) gives policyholders the right to freely choose their own lawyer and requires legal expenses contracts to expressly provide for that right. While decisions of the EFTA Court are not binding, they are taken into account by the European Court of Justice.
Insurance Europe publishes paper on information overload and duplication
On 2 November 2017, Insurance Europe submitted a paper on 'information overload and duplication' to the European Commission's online REFIT Platform. According to the paper, IDD and PRIIPs will result in a significant increase in the volume of pre-contract information which must be provided to consumers. This, coupled with existing measures, risks consumers being overloaded and distracts from what is important. The paper also highlights where duplicative requirements exist across different EU measures and warns that this may result in consumers being provided with the same information more than once in different formats. The paper also argues that the default requirement under IDD and other EU measures to provide information on paper does not necessarily align with the demands of modern consumers.

The leadership of the OpenJDK 8 and OpenJDK 11 projects has transitioned from Oracle to Red Hat, making the open-source company recently acquired by IBM the steward of the open-source implementation of Java.
Red Hat led the OpenJDK 6 and 7 projects and has been a member of the OpenJDK community since 2007. In addition, Red Hat leads the upstream development of Shenandoah, a high-performance garbage collector that is now part of OpenJDK 12.
Red Hat plans to launch OpenJDK in a Microsoft installer in the coming weeks and distribute IcedTea-Web, the free software implementation of Java Web Start, as part of the Windows OpenJDK distribution.
Monitoring and analytics platform Datadog released a SaaS-based software test automation platform driven by machine learning called Browser Tests. The software is designed to aid agile teams in catching bugs automatically whenever the website changes.
In addition to adjusting tests automatically, the software requires no coding and is fully integrated into the Datadog monitoring platform.
"Datadog's Browser Tests are created in minutes and self-adjust as an application changes, which means bugs are caught before real users see them," said Gabriel-James Safar, Product Manager at Datadog.
It was created to quickly fix bugs as "agile development teams often trade deep testing for quick application releases," the company explained.
Prices start at $12 per 1,000 Test Runs and a 14-day free trial is available.
