It's been a while since I've posted but I'm just finishing up my First year of a PhD in Chemistry and so far I'm hating the academia, I've talked with a Recruiter and So far Army OCS looks good. I'm looking for some advice on what to do. I'm 27 so I'm reaching the end of eligibility so it's now or never for me. I already have B.S. and M.S. degrees in the subject.

I agreed with the fans that things were not the same and that it was a very special period in Iced Earth’s history. When I heard several months ago that Matt was going to be doing a project in music again, I was thinking...

F. Albert Cotton and his coworkers at Texas A&M University surprised chemists in 1964 with evidence that the [Re2Cl8]2­ ion contained the first known multiple bond between two metal atoms. Not only was it a multiple bond, it was an unprecedented quadruple bond. Cotton convinced the world that he was right, and inorganic chemistry hasn't been the same since. Now, Philip P. Power at the University of California, Davis, and his coworkers report evidence for the first "quintuple" bond between two metal atoms in the dichromium complex, RCrCrR, where R is a bulky terphenyl ligand (Science, published online Sept. 22,...

Hence we are going to rely on Muslim historians, in India and abroad, who have written hundreds of glowing accounts of the devastation caused by the progress of Islamic armies across the world (and in India). As our focus is India, we are going to look only at what happened in India during the Islamic invasion and the following struggle for independence from Islamic rule that was waged by the Hindus.
