Just as the name of this purple palette suggests, the M.A.C. Eye Shadow X 9: Age Ain’t Nothing pays homage to Aaliyah with nine bold and low-key shadows for recreating the singer’s most iconic looks.

By the way, the latter technique will also work with any mineral stains (including depleted uranium!).

Springboard Kitchens, is an organization dedicated to using food as the foundation to improve people’s lives in our communities. Springboard Kitchens does this through its culinary workforce training, and by reaching out to ex- offenders, people struggling with addiction issues and even those who’ve been diagnosed with mental health issues. According to Krista Brolley, the Student Services director at Springboard Kitchen, approximately 40 percent of the students attending their program were either homeless or near homeless.

It’s been a big year for North Texas, especially when it comes to innovation. From industry disruptors, to technological breakthroughs, to groundbreaking advancements, we’ve seen it all in 2018—and we …

Well, Republican and Democratic presidents do nominate to the courts people who they think will generally make rulings roughly similar to the presidents’ views and so Trump is not totally inaccurate. But with lifetime tenure, the judges can make their decisions with intellectual freedom, as the facts and their philosophies change over the years.  And thank God for that. Judicial independence can act as a brake on a would-be autocrat such as Trump, who has little or no respect for, and knowledge of,  the rule of law that protects us.

The brewer currently operates three defined contribution (DC) pension schemes for staff. The schemes, which include a trust-based scheme, a group personal pension (GPP) plan and a stakeholder scheme, are for different segments of its workforce.

Abstract: A device test architecture and a reduced device test interface are provided to enable efficient testing of embedded cores and other circuits within devices. The reduced device test interface is achieved using a double data rate (DDR) signaling technique between the tester and the device. The DDR test interface allows the tester to interface to test circuits within the device, such as IEEE 1500 and/or IEEE 1149.1 test circuits, to provide high test data bandwidth to the test circuits using a minimum of test interface signals. The test architecture includes compare circuits that allow for comparison of test response data to be performed within the device. The test architecture further includes a memory for storing the results of the test response comparisons. The test architecture includes a programmable test controller to allow for various test control operations by simply inputting an instruction to the programmable test controller from the external tester. Additional features and embodiments of the device test architecture and reduced test interface are also disclosed.

In the early 1990′s he became a force in initiating ethics reform in Rhode Island. More recently, he endowed the creation of the Hassenfeld Institute for Public Leadership at Bryant University.

We also observed obvious Raman enhancement of PTCDA (a molecule that shows no obvious absorption in 630- to 800-nm range) on MGT (Fig. 3B), which is lower than that for CuPc (about 68% Raman intensity for CuPc on MGT). In this case, the significant Raman enhancement was ascribed to the CT process that occurred between MGT substrates and the Raman reporter, due to the formation of Ti–O–C bonds between TiO2 and GO. We measured x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) to clarify the interaction between GO and TiO2 (Fig. 4, A to D). Figure 4A shows the XPS survey spectrum of MGT, indicating that MGT is mainly composed of C, O, Fe, and Ti without a trace of contamination. The high-resolution XPS of the C 1s spectrum (Fig. 4B) of MG is ascribed to C–C (nonoxygenated ring C, 284.6 eV), C–O (285.6 eV), and carbonyl O=C (carboxylic, 287.8 eV) species (26, 33). Compared with MG, all these peaks of MGT (especially that of the O=C species) showed higher binding energies. Figure 4C shows O 1s core level spectra. Three obvious peaks at 529.4, 530.0, and 531.1 eV were observed, which should be attributed to the existence of O2−, −OH, and oxygen vacancies (Ov), respectively (34, 35). The high ratio of Ov indicates large numbers of Ov in MG, which could couple with Ti3+ easily (26). After MG was coated with TiO2 NPs, the peak intensity of O2− increased, while that of Ov decreased. In addition, we observed two peaks centered at 459.3 and 465.0 eV in the Ti 2p spectrum of MGT (Fig. 4D), which were consistent with the binding energy of Ti in the Ti–O–C bond (26). These obvious changes indicate the existence of interaction between TiO2 and GO, resulting in an efficient CT between Raman reporters and SERS substrates.
