- 541: Woodstock 1969
- ... men’s initial idea for the festival was to promote the idea of a new recording studio in Bethel, New York, which is where the event actually took place. Because of the extensive amount of rain that fell before and during Woodstock, the site was changed twice. This resulted in the loss of preparation time. The stage had not been entirely put up and the sound system was dangerously assembled. There were many other problems that occurred as a result of the mud produced during the rain. Most of the gates and fences were not put up which allowed many people to enter the festival for free. The mud also created a major cleanup project after the festival ended. Woodstock gathered an ...

- ... and normal sterilization processes. How are infectious prions able to cross the specie's barrier? No one knows, but Dr. Prusiner has theorized that it may depend on the degree of similarity in the amino acid sequence in the proteins of the two species and that the degree of similarity of certain parts of the amino acid sequence may be more important than others for determining whether the disease will cross the species barrier. No one knows for sure whether CJD is transmitted from consumption of infected cattle or whether it is ...
- 543: The Art of Rock and Roll by Charles Brown
- ... northern California, cities such as San Francisco developed themselves as the center of movement, and musically, folk music turned into a particular kind of rock. The sound that it turned into can be defined as acid rock or psychedelic rock, which means that it is associated with LSD, or acid.

- 545: Jim Morrison: The Lizard King
- ... and The Doors fame increased greatly. The word on the street was that, “the singer was crazy” (86). Jim did many crazy things, like not showing up for gigs and going so messed up on acid that he would go into sort of a trance in which he would add much of an extra twist to his songs that no one else had heard either. The next producer came to see ... one from The Los Angeles Free Press. This article put their music into perspective for them and for their fans. The music of the Doors is more surreal than psychedelic. It is more anguish than acid. More than rock, it is the ritual---the ritual of psychic-sexual exorcism. The Doors are the warlocks of pop culture. Morrison is an angel; an exterminating angel. The Doors music is the music of ...

"After a while [he] went out and left the hospital and walked back to the hotel in the rain." He did not mourn or feel like his own life had ended with her death, rather he was able to continue on with his newfound inner strength and face his world alone. He finally understood ...
- 547: Acetylation of Ferrocene
- ... world. By utilizing many of the techniques we employ in this lab, a company can synthesize new types of materials or composites that could revolutionize an industry. Background When we react the ferrocene with phosphoric acid and acetic anhydride, we obtain many disparate products. Not only do we get acetylferrocene, but we also get diacetylferrocene, some unreacted ferrocene reactant, and acetic acid as well. We will use thin layer chromatography (TLC), column chromatography (CG), and IR spectra analysis in order to determine the what proportions of each of these compounds will be present in the final product ...
- 548: Chemistry-soaps And Detergents
- ... the alkaline hydrolysis of fats and oils. It is essentially the reverse of esterification. O O R-C-O-R’ + NaOH ---- R-C-O-Na+ + R’OH Ester(fat) + base(caustic soda) ---- salt of fatty acid(soap) + alcohol(glycerol). Caustic potash (potassium hydroxide) can be used instead of caustic soda (sodium hydroxide)but is more expensive. The base used to come from wood ash containing potassium carbonate which formed potash as ... important base in the manufacture of detergents is sodium alkyl benzene sulphonate. O O R-C becomes R-S O-Na+ O O-Na+ The detergents produced this way work equally well in hard, soft, acid, hot or cold water. They don’t leave scum and are very powerful cleaning agents. However, the new product is so stable that it persistent in water waste and does not break down. There were ...

Then a damp gust Bringing rain Ganga was sunken, and the limp leaves Waited for rain, while the black clouds Gathered far distant, over Himavant. The jungle crouched, humped in silence.

- 550: Louis Pasteur 2
- ... tutored younger students and prepared for the École Normale Supérieure, a noted teacher-training college in Paris. As part of his studies he investigated the crystallographic, chemical, and optical properties of various forms of tartaric acid. His work laid the foundations for later study of the geometry of chemical bonds. Pasteur's investigations soon brought him recognition and also an appointment as assistant to a professor of chemistry. Pasteur received a ... reaction but took place only in the presence of living organisms. He learned that fermentation, putrefaction, infection, and souring are caused by germs, or microbes. Pasteur published his first paper on the formation of lactic acid and its function in souring milk in 1857. Further studies developed the valuable technique of pasteurization (see Dairy Industry). The same year he was appointed manager and director of scientific studies at his old school ...
