What's the most important question you should ask a reporter before you grant an interview? I've been pitching and talking to reporters for what often feels like 100 years, but I finally learned that magic question this morning. I bet you'll say yes to all of these questions. I did, until today. It's great to be featured in the media, right? It's smart to be generous in sharing information with a reporter so she/he will ...Shared by Amber (14)Contribute comment -

El segundo pide media cerveza. El tercero pide un cuarto de cerveza… Entonces el camarero dice «¡Idiotas!» y les pone dos cervezas.- j_aroche said: LOL, Limites FTW!

I visited the Newcastle Utd online shop today and couldn’t believe that they are currently offering 30% off their 08-09 away and third shirts. 30%!! Great bargain if you’re a Newcastle fan and haven’t bought this season’s kit yet but its a bit of a kick in the teeth if you have already bought one - after all the shirts only been on sale for what, 3 or 4 months, and its already hugely discounted!! ...Shared by EPL Talk (323)Contribute comment -

Using perdeuterated surfactant micelles to resolve mixture components in diffusion-ordered NMR spectroscopy (1)
permalinkDiffusion-ordered NMR spectroscopy resolves mixture components on the basis of differences in their respective diffusion coefficients or molecular sizes. However, when components have near-identical diffusion coefficients, they are not resolved in the diffusion dimension of a diffusion-ordered spectroscopy (DOSY) spectrum. Adding surfactant micelles to these mixtures has been shown to enhance resolution when the component molecules interact differentially with the micelles. This approach is similar to that used in electrokinetic chromatography (EKC) where modifiers like ...Shared by Alexandar (79)
