This is the abstract used ( not really) to get teh funding grant for this research.

Two fundamentally different but complementary transition metal catalyzed chemo-, regio-,diastereo-, enantio-, and grantproposalo-selective approaches to the synthesis of a library of biologically significant nano- and pico-molecules will be presented with the focus on reaction mechanism and egocentric effects. The role of the nature of the metal, ligand, solvent, temperature, time, microwave, nanowave, picowave, ultrasound, hypersound, moon phase, and weather in this catalytic, sustainable, cost-effective, and eco-friendly technology will be discussed in detail.

Business is business, Why should I care about the company "paying my dues" if, when the times get a little tough they lay off employees to increase the share price. Their responce, business is business. My responce, I'll put in 40 hours of hard work a week, but I want an equitable work contract. My first job out of university was 70 hours a week, for six months, then they laid everyone on the project off. I was not upset with the company, any other american company would have done the same. I then ( six years agao) emigrated to an "evil socialist" european county and have been loving my job and life every since.

This isn't news, we have known for a long time that there are different isotope ratios from different sources. This basically means that the atomic weight of say carbon, when looking really closely, is sample dependant, meaning different samples will have differing atomic weights because they have differing ratios of isotopes.

FTFA,

"The vaccine didn't cause the disorder, it resulted in it. "

I want to ask these parents, this judge, how many horrible deaths of young children from preventable deseases they are then liable for? The parents, lawyers and judge will not cause the deaths of these children, but thier actions certainly will result in the horrible deaths of children from preventable deseases.

Weigh the trash, no, but it is relatively simple to charge per bag as we do here in switzerland. ca 2.50 USD a bag and all of a sudden recycling is all of a sudden not something that has to be forced. We simply put a sticker on the bag to show we have paid.

I also end up paying less that 10 USD a month for trash removal as companies don't use so much packaging as they know the customers don't want to pay to throw it away. I get plenty of junk mail, it is all recycled.

I wonder what serious western businesses will want to invest in such a corrupt country. Most major international businesses work in Russia, but only because the market there is so large and untapped. These large international businesses are just there though with sales departments.
>br> A translator who works with westerners in Moscow once told me the way to tell if a foreign company in Russia is paying bride to distributors ect., is to look if they are making a profit. If they are, then they are paying bribes to someone. It is possible to have a business in Russia and not make bribes, but not to have a business in Russia, not pay bribes and make a profit.
>br> TO conclude, as long as this business culture there continues as such, Western companies will only invest in Sales departments in Russia, and not any further. There are cheaper alternatives in the east for non-western scientific investment.
