President of the Bundesrat
In Germany, the President of the Bundesrat or President of the Federal Council(German: "Bundesratspräsident") is the chairperson or speaker of the Bundesrat (Federal Council). He or she is elected by the Bundesrat for a term of one year (usually from November 1 to October 31 in the next year). Traditionally, the Presidency of the Bundesrat rotates among the leaders of the sixteen state governments (most of them hold the title Minister President, the head of government of Berlin holds the title Governing Mayor, the head of government of Hamburg holds the title First Mayor and the head of government of Bremen holds the title President of the Senate and Mayor). This is however only an established praxis, theoretically the Bundesrat is free to elect any member it chooses, and a President could also be re-elected (which has happened once). As well as acting as a chairperson the President of the Bundesrat is "ex officio" deputy of the President of Germany.
The President of the Bundesrat convenes and chairs plenary sessions of the body and is formally responsible for representing the Federal Republic in the Bundesrat. He or she is aided by two vice-presidents who play an advisory role and deputise in the president's absence. The three together constitute the Präsidium of the Bundesrat.
The 75th and current President of the Bundesrat is Reiner Haseloff, the Minister Presidentof Saxony-Anhalt, whose one-year term started on 1 November 2020.
On the Edge of Magellanic Clouds
On the Edge of Magellanic Clouds () is a fiction book, published in 1998. It includes three stories: "On the Edge of Magellanic Clouds" by Andrei Gusev, "Nights after" () by Sergei Aman and "Silent abode" () by Oleg Birukov. These are stories from Russian life at the end of the 20th century.
The story ""On the Edge of Magellanic Clouds"" is, at first look, realism. The Medvedev couple lived together for a considerable part of their lives before perestroika. But in the last decade of the 20th century, the way of life in Russia is changing. Capitalism comes instead of socialism. Yulia, the wife of the journalist Andrei Medvedev, wants well-being in life. She decides that they need to start a radio station. All her thoughts are on it. The radio station will be ready to broadcast soon.
However, these plans are a figment of her imagination. A strong desire for enrichment makes her mind bifurcated. Her husband Andrei tells about this in the second part of the story. The narrative is similar to tragic realism. However, here the author's voice turns on, again turning the content over. And the story becomes surreal. This twist makes readers think.
""Nights after"" is a little love story. The guy Sergey from the provinces falls in love with the Moscow girl Natasha. She came on vacation to her grandmother in the village. They meet at night on the river bank. He bathes naked. She does not see him in the dark and also strips naked. An uncomfortable situation develops, but as a result they begin to be friends.
However, village hooligans rape Natasha, and they stab him. He ends up in the hospital, and she leaves for Moscow. And after his recovery, he has only a sad memory of this unfinished love.
The story ""Silent abode"" describes the life of ambulance workers in the province. Young Muscovite Anatoly Kiselyov comes there to practice. Doctors are often called to patients. Doctors get into both tragic and funny situations. Stories about them make up the story.
"On the Edge of Magellanic Clouds" is a book with a non-linear storyline. The book covers the time period of earlier nineties of the last century. Some parts of the stories in this book have a mystical component.

VSEPR theory
The shape of a molecule or ion is determined by the repulsion between the electron pairs surrounding the central atom.
Valence Shell Electron-Pair Repulsion Theory
- Only the electron pairs arranged round the central atom in a covalent molecule need to be considered
- Pairs of electrons repel each other and move as far apart as possible
- Lone pair-lone pair repulsion is greater than lone pair-bonding pair repulsion which is greater than bonding pair- bonding pair repulsion
- The actual shape of species is determined by the "atoms" attached round the central atom (and influenced by the lone pairs of electrons)
- All bonds - single bonds, double bonds and triple bonds - take up the same space.
