21015300 | "Vicuña"
When knitted together, the product of the vicuña's wool is very soft and warm. The Inca valued vicuñas highly for their wool, and it was against the law for anyone but royalty to wear vicuña garments; today the vicuña is the national animal of Peru and appears in the Peruvian coat of arms. Both under the rule of the Inca and today, vicuñas have been protected by law, but they were heavily hunted in the intervening period. At the time they were declared endangered in 1974, only about 6,000 animals were left. Today, the vicuña population has recovered to about |

removed but the producers refused, simply blacking out the offending images and bleeping the soundtrack. On the black footage, Murray inserted a picture of a bunyip performing a parody of the forbidden action. Murray also previewed the film without cuts to censors, angering the censor. This led to a debate about censorship which helped lead to a reform of censorship standards. The Naked Bunyip The Naked Bunyip is a 1970 Australian documentary film directed by John B. Murray. The film explores sex in Australia using a fictional framework. ""The Naked Bunyip"" is a sex documentary and a blend of fact |

guanaco, and smaller. A key distinguishing element of morphology is the better-developed incisor roots for the guanaco. The vicuña's long, woolly coat is tawny brown on the back, whereas the hair on the throat and chest is white and quite long. The head is slightly shorter than the guanaco's and the ears are slightly longer. The length of head and body ranges from 1.45 to 1.60 m (about 5 ft); shoulder height is from 75 to 85 cm (around 3 ft); its weight is from 35 to 65 kg (under 150 lb).

year, and all vicuñas with fur longer than 2.5 cm are shorn. Vicuñas are native to the central Andes in South America, where found in Peru, northwestern Argentina, Bolivia, and northern Chile. A smaller, introduced population lives in central Ecuador. Vicuñas live at altitudes of . They feed in daytime on the grassy plains of the Andes Mountains, but spend the nights on the slopes. In these areas, only nutrient-poor, tough, bunch grasses and ""Festuca"" grow. The sun's rays are able to penetrate the thin atmosphere, producing relatively warm temperatures during the day; however, the temperatures drop to freezing at |

Vernon F. Gallagher Vernon F. Gallagher (September 26, 1914 – August 14, 2014) was an American Roman Catholic priest who served as the eighth president of Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, from 1950 until 1959. After leaving the priesthood in 1972, he was an academic administrator at St. Michael's College in Colchester, Vermont. Vernon F. Gallagher was born in the Pittsburgh suburb of Sharpsburg, Pennsylvania on September 26, 1914. He was an altar boy at his home parish of St. Mary's, where he was first introduced to the Holy Ghost Fathers who administered the parish. He later entered the Spiritan |

novitiate himself, and was ordained a priest in 1939. As a seminarian, Gallagher was noted for his musical talent; he played piano and organ, and even composed an operetta. Following his ordination, Gallagher earned a master's degree in English at the University of Pennsylvania and served as a professor at Duquesne University. He rose in the university faculty, being appointed Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, then vice president, and finally university president in 1950. Gallagher studied Latin and Ancient Greek in the course of his education, and learned Spanish, German, French, and Slovak on his own. Duquesne |

He also served on the steering committee for Pittsburgh's new public television station, WQED. He eventually became so widely known that he was invited to deliver the opening prayer for the 84th Congress in 1955, and met with President Eisenhower in Washington. Gallagher used his numerous speaking engagements as a way to increase the public reputation of Duquesne, and later stated that he ""never turned down an offer of a speaking engagement.""

of women in radio hosting Los Angeles' ""Rawhide & Roses"", music and talk show, on the early underground rock station, KPPC-FM in Pasadena, California, produced by her husband of 45 years, artist/songwriter, Terry Allen. In the 1970s, she was one of the first performance artists performing throughout the U.S. in alternative spaces, cafes, art galleries and museums. She is best known, however, for her work in film and for her one-woman plays which she has toured extensively including off-Broadway productions written and performed by Allen of ""A Moment's Hesitation"", (director Allen), ""As It Is in Texas"", (director Ellen Sabastian), and |
21015315 | Tellurophenes
Through DFT calculations, the authors was found that the HOMO was localized on the π-orbitals of the tellurophene and the electron-donating substituent, with the LUMO localized over the π*-orbitals of the tellurophene and the electron-withdrawing substituent. It was concluded that having both electron-donating and electron-withdrawing substituents stabilizes the LUMO, with the HOMO-LUMO transitions having significant charge-transfer character, which in turn explained the solvatochromic effect. This work therefore showed how one can tune the optoelectronic properties of π-conjugated tellurophenes. The same molecule was subjected to DFT calculations using the computational program GAMESS, where it was found that the HOMO and LUMO |
21015316 | Tellurophenes
orbitals were in qualitative agreement with the orbital pictures reported by Okuma, showing that the HOMO and LUMO show extensive orbital delocalization on the p-anisyl and p-cyanophenyl substituents, respectively. In 2016, Seferos et al. reported the synthesis of well-defined, high molecular weight poly-3-alkyltellurophenes (P3ATe) through catalyst transfer polymerization (CTP). CTP is an important route to synthesize polymers with a narrow molecular weight distribution and a well defined end-group, but it was found in 2013 that applying CTP-conditions for the synthesis of P3ATe led to polymers with low molecular weights, and broad polydispersities. To obtain P3ATe with a narrow polydispersity, the |
21015317 | Tellurophenes
authors investigated the optimal conditions using kinetic studies and DFT calculations. It was found experimentally that the branched side chain played an important role on the polymerization rate and polymer quality. To mitigate this effect, monomers with various other side chains were synthesized. From this, it was found that moving the ethyl branches away from the heterocycle to the more remote 3- and 4- positions led to an improved polymerization rate and control, such that P3ATe with narrow polydispersities and high molecular weights were obtained. This improvement was attributed to the lack of steric hindrance. Furthermore, it was found that |

upon moving the branching point away from the heterocycle led to a red-shift in the optical absorption, which was attributed to a decrease in the degree of twisting, resulting in an increased in the conjugation between the tellurophene backbone. Heeney et al. reported the synthesis of the first tellurophene-vinylene copolymer through Stille coupling of 2,5-dibromo-3-dodecyltellurophene and (E)-1,2-bis(tributylstannyl)ethylene, resulting in P3TeV in 57% yield with an approximate M of 10 kDa and a polydispersity of 2.4. By synthesizing thiophene and selenophene analogues, it was found that there was a reduction in the optical band gap as a result of the stabilization |

The film also received some mixed reactions from critics. Writing for ""Hindustan Times"", Anupama Chopra rated the film 2.5 out of 5 and believed that the film didn't fulfill its potential, but said, ""It's an interesting scenario and Suri and his actors set it up |

that the legislation does not promote new business creation. For most of Vilsack's tenure as governor, Republicans held effective majorities in the Iowa General Assembly. Following the November 2, 2004, elections, the fifty-member Senate was evenly split between Democrats and Republicans and Republicans held a 51–49 majority in the House of Representatives. In July 2005, Vilsack signed an executive order allowing all felons who had served their sentences to vote. He said: ""When you've paid your debt to society, you need to be reconnected and re-engaged to society"". Previously, convicted felons were disenfranchised, but could petition the governor to initiate |

The C-C bond length was observed to be 1.326(4) Å, much longer than a C-C triple bond and closer to a C-C double bond, indicating that the compound had activated phenylacetylene through FLP chemistry. However, unlike other reported FLP compounds, it was unable to activate H or bind CO, which was attributed to the fact that telluroethers are poor nucleophiles. Although the telluroether did not undergo oxidation by halogens to produce the corresponding Te(IV) dihalide compounds, it was found to react with iodine to afford a five-membered Te-B-I heterocycle. Later, Stephan et al. reported the synthesis of various Te-B heterocycles |

Wait (Earshot song) ""Wait"" is the lead single from Earshot's second album ""Two"". It reached #13 on the Mainstream Rock charts and #33 on the Modern Rock charts. Although it did not chart as well as the band's debut single ""Get Away,"" ""Wait"" is considered a breakthrough hit for the band and helped launch them into further mainstream success. It was featured on the video game soundtracks to both ""Madden NFL 2005"" and ""MX vs. ATV Unleashed"". An alternate version was also included on the former soundtrack as The D.O.C. vs. Earshot - ""The Madden Re-Match."" ""Wait"" was also featured |

In 2005, Vilsack established Heartland PAC, a political action committee aimed at electing Democratic governors. In the first report, he raised over half a million dollars. Vilsack left office in 2007; he did not seek a third term and was succeeded by Chet Culver. On November 30, 2006, Tom Vilsack became the second Democrat (after Mike Gravel) to officially announce intentions to run for the presidency in the 2008 election.
