like they have the same opportunities as the people they work with, it benefits the economy with more money intake from alcohol purchases, and more monitoring could be done on 18 year olds that drink in private. Young adults…
fact according to a recent study at University of Texas at Austin “Spending on alcohol ads have shot up 400% over the last four decades.” (Kaufman). It is one thing for an adult of legal age to view alcohol ads in media, but when an adolescent is exposed to so much, it is detrimental to their development. Using statistics and studies on the effects of advertisements on youth it will be clear that alcohol…
obsession. Which is something they do not warn you beforehand about, they just urge you into it. Society’s social norms over the years have vastly gotten so horrendous. Teens getting addicted to such damaging substances (such as marijuana, tobacco, alcohol, etc.) at a young age is atrocious. Often, teens are exposed to addictive substances at their first party, the adolescent will see all the popular people dancing, smoking, drinking and participating in activities that you would not take part…
On a late Monday night in November, I had the chance to attend an Alcoholic Anonymous support group hosted in a church called Forest Hills Presbyterians church. The support group name was not the typical name we mostly hear about an AA group, the name was Progress Not Perfection. Which made me question if it was an AA support group or a group for other meeting but it turned out to be an AA support group. The purpose of the group is for alcoholic individuals to come together and exchange support…
warrant for TJ 's arrest. They apprehended him right on the spot. The children and I stayed in the room while all of this was going down. TJ was locked up on our baby girls first birthday. I remember that it was around this time that I began to use alcohol as a coping mechanism heavily. I was never much of a drinker. In fact I didn’t start consume alcoholic beverages until I was in my twenties. The particular kind of wine I was introduced to had a very pleasant taste. So, after that exposure,…
Three Wishes by Liane Moriarty is set in modern day Australia. It begins with multiple accounts of a brawl that took place at a restaurant. Those engaged in the brawl, according to witness accounts, are triplets, who are celebrating their birthday at the restaurant. Their names are Cat, Lyn, and Gemma Kettle. Three Wishes provides the backstory of the triplets leading up to the night they fought one another at the restaurant. The reader learns that Cat’s husband, Dan, has told her that he’s…
In pursuit of our continued interest in the development of solvent-free and green synthetic procedures, we decided to explore the use of tartaric acid catalyst for synthesis of polysubstituted quinolines via Friedlander condensation in high to excellent yields at 70 °C under solvent-free conditions. Initially the reaction between 2-aminobenzophenone (1.0 mmol) and dimedone (1.0 mmol), as the model reaction was examined in the presence varying amount of tartaric acid as catalyst and the results…
1-[Cyano(4-methoxyphenyl)methyl]cycloalkanol (VF-I) synthesized through the reaction of p-methoxyphenylacetonitrile and cyclohexanone using aq. NaOH and tetrabutylammonium hydrogen sulfate as PTC. NaBH4 and CoCl2 in 2:1 THF: H2O used for the reduction of VF-I to obtain 1-(2-amino-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)ethyl)cyclohexanol (VF-II). Further, venlafaxine derivative of the amino acid -carboxamide (VFCA-I toVII ) synthesized through coupling of N-Phthaloyl amino acid chloride derivative (2a-2g-…
initially dehydrate polysaccharides, enhance intra-molecular hydrogen bonding, cause conformational change and aggregation of polysaccharide molecules, and eventually leads to the precipitation of macromolecular chains, and the following addition of alcohol solvent gradually precipitates the molecular chains with relatively low MW, thereby achieving fractional precipitation of polysaccharides based on molecular structure (Jian et al., 2014). According to this procedure, two main fractions…
INTRODUCTION Background The macrocyclic organic molecules Phthalocyanines (1) which are comparable to the naturally occurring porphyrin (2) ring systems shown in (Figure 1). The porphyrin molecule consists up of four pyrrole subunits which are associated in n-conjugation by methine carbons. 1 2 Figure 1: structures of phthalocyanine and porphyrins molcule The compound…
