Cycloheptatrienemolybdenum tricarbonyl. Cycloheptatrienemolybdenum tricarbonyl is the organomolybdenum compound with the formula (C7H8)Mo(CO)3. It is a red-orange solid that is soluble in nonpolar organic solvents. The compound has no practical value but is a prototypical complex of cycloheptatriene.

Synthesis, structure, and reactions
The compound is prepared by thermal reaction of the triene with molybdenum hexacarbonyl:
C7H8 + Mo(CO)6 → (C7H8)Mo(CO)3 + 3 CO

The compound is a piano stool complex, consisting of Mo(CO)3 bound to six carbon centers of the triene. The methylene group projects from the plane of the six coordinated carbon atoms.

The compound reacts with trityl salts to give the cycloheptatrienyl complex:
(C7H8)Mo(CO)3 + (C6H5)3C+ → [(C7H7)Mo(CO)3]+ + (C6H5)3CH

Sambar Server. The JIBIN Server is or was a combined "HTTP, HTTPS, XMPP, FTP, SMTP, POP3, DNS, DHCP, Java Servlet, JSP, and proxy server" developed by Tod Sambar. The Proxy Server provided also a dial-on-demand service to an Internet service provider.

A limited shareware version was widely distributed, while the full functionality was only available in the commercial version.

Initially developed for the Microsoft Windows platform, later a version for Linux was also available. Some releases are still downloadable for free from various software distribution sites.

The Windows version does not need a server operation system, but ran even on Windows 95 or Windox XP home.

Sambar Server came with its own server-side scripting language called Cscript, derived from the programming language C.

The first release appeared in 1996/97, 
The latest release was 7.0, published in March 2007. It "runs on XP to Win 10". Tod Sambar claims that "Commercial, shareware, and freeware licensees numbered over 200,000 and the server powered over 13,000 commercial Internet sites at its peak."

End of 2007, Tod Sambar announced the end of development.

As of at least October 2015, the Sambar Server is still in use, as testified on the "Sambar Webmaster Community" forum.

The domain www.sambar.com, from which the Sambar Sever was distributed and serviced, is still registered on Tod Sambar's name, but it is not connected to the Internet. Only two MX Records are registered in the DNS (Domain Name System).

1,1-Diphenylethylene. 1,1-Diphenylethylene is an aromatic hydrocarbon with chemical formula CH.

Properties
1,1-Diphenylethylene mediates the radical polymerization of methyl acrylate or styrene. Mediation by 1,1-Diphenylethylene generates low molecular weight polymer by a termination reaction. Additionally, because 1,1-Diphenylethylene has a lower pKa than styrene, it is an effective mediator in the anionic living polymerization of styrene-block-methyl methacrylate copolymers. Polystyrene homopolymers can be "capped" with 1,1-Diphenylethylene before adding methyl methacrylate, effectively adjusting the pKa of the active chain end so that 1,4-addition to methyl methacrylate is favored over 1,2-addition. Dibenzofulvene is an analogue of a 1,1-Diphenylethylene.

Synthesis 
1,1-Diphenylethylene is technical prepared by alkylating benzene by styrene in presence of a zeolite beta and subsequent dehydrogenation.

 styrene + benzene → 1,1-diphenylethane → 1,1-diphenylethylene + H

M-Indicator. M-Indicator is a transportation related mobile application that primarily provides information about public transportation in the cities of Mumbai and Pune. It contains details about 232 trains, making 3,000 daily trips through 108 stations on the city's suburban train network. It has 84,000 timetable entries. The application has been downloaded by over 1 crore users. It was created in 2010 by Sachin Teke, an IT engineer who is the founder and CEO of Mobond Software Consultancy, which owns the application. The application hosts a chat on which Mumbai's 75 lakh commuters share real time information about rescheduling or cancellation of train services.

History 
A news story written in January 2012 describes the application as "a little known company's mobile app". The application could then be installed on any Android and Java phone. It informs that the application developers preferred anonymity, describing themselves as "mobond.com is an organisation of enthusiastic software developers having the aim of providing free software products." Mobond is expanded as "bonding the mob". The creator informs that in the name m-Indicator, "m" stands for mobile and Mumbai, and "Indicator" for what it means.

Creator 
The creator of this application, Sachin Teke, is an IT engineer and an alumnus of VJTI of the 2006 batch. He began his career working for a software firm developing mobile applications. Living in Nerul, his work had him commuting to SEEPZ daily, using a train between Nerul and Kurla, then a bus, and after that an auto-rickshaw. He faced uncertainty regarding train schedules, more so in the evening on his way back home. According to Teke, the need for a reliable schedule information system was fundamental, considering the number of commuters who travel by train; however, it was not available. Therefore, Teke decided to create one himself, for which he quit his job in 2010.

Features 
The application provides the following features:
 Schedules for suburban trains, buses, metro rail, mono rail and ferries.
 Information about picnic spots in the vicinity of Mumbai, hotels, hospitals, and movie and drama theatres.
 Posts related to jobs and rentals.
 Separate chat rooms for central, western and harbour line commuters.
 Real time information on upcoming suburban trains, jurisdiction areas of various police stations, availability of free Wi-Fi at a particular station, and in case of an incident, the location and police station under whose jurisdiction it lies, the names, addresses and phone numbers to be reached in emergencies, directions and information on how cyber crimes are to be reported.
 Playing of audio-visual messages from railway police.
 Platform number at which a particular train will halt and position of the door from which to exit.
 Information on cancelled trains.
 Information on whether a train is slow or fast.
 Facilitation of sharing auto-rickshaw or taxi rides.
 A security system for women commuters.

Colin Snedeker. Colin M. Snedeker (January 5, 1936 – October 22, 2016) was a British-born American chemist best known as the inventor of the first washable crayons. Snedeker developed the washable crayon while working as a chemist for Binney & Smith, which was the parent company of Crayola crayons at the time, in response to complaints from parents and consumers.  He won the patent for the washable solid marking composition utilized in the crayons in 1990. He also developed products for Kiwi shoe polish and DuPont.

Biography
Snedeker was born in Newcastle upon Tyne in North East England on January 5, 1936. His grandfather had been killed in a fire before he was born and an English couple had adopted Snedeker's father when he was 13-years old. Colin Snedeker and his sister, Ann, were raised in England. They discovered letters from their father's birth family, who lived in Pennsylvania, in 1948, and soon were invited to visit them in the United States.

Colin Snedeker entered high school at age 13 and graduated when he was just 15 years old. He studied metallurgy after high school.

Snedeker was hired by Kiwi shoe polish for one of his earliest jobs. There he developed a new, white shoe polish that did not stain clothing.

He later moved to Pennsylvania, where he was employed as a chemist by Binney & Smith, the then-parent company of Crayola crayons. While working Binney & Smith, Snedeker ran out of ideas as to which projects to pursue. He visited the Crayola complaint department to gain an insight into consumer problems with their products. According to his sister, "One of the women [in the mail room] said they received the most mail from mothers wanting to know how to wash out crayons from fabrics, car seats and walls. He got to thinking, and that’s when he came up with washable crayons."

Snedeker successfully developed the first washable crayon available on the market for Crayola. He was awarded the patent for the washable solid marking composition used in his washable crayons in 1990. During the later 1990s, Snedecker also won patents for fluorescent and phosphorescent marking compositions utilized in new lines of Crayolas, as well as a color-changing marking composition system for Crayola.

In 2004, Snedeker, who was divorced and had no children, relocated from Pennsylvania to Wichita, Kansas, to be closer to his relatives.

Colin Snedeker died in Wichita, Kansas, on October 22, 2016, at the age of 80. He was survived by his sister, Ann Strickland.

River Shannon to Dublin pipeline. The River Shannon to Dublin pipeline, officially the Water Supply Project, Eastern and Midlands Region, is a planned project to bring water from the Parteen Basin on the River Shannon to Peaumont to supply the Dublin region and areas along the route in counties Tipperary, Offaly and Westmeath.

History
Dublin City Council published a plan in 2011 to supply up to 350 million litres of water a day from Lough Derg to Dublin city and region. In January 2014, Irish Water took over management of the project which is currently in the Planning Stage. In 2016 it was proposed that over two million people will benefit from the water supplying not only Dublin but also an area including Arklow, Athlone, Athy, Carlow, Drogheda, Mullingar, Navan, Portaloise and Tullamore. In 2018 Irish Water announced plans to seek planning permission for the project.

The proposed pipeline was sent for review to the CRU, Irish Water’s economic regulator, amid questions about Irish Water’s leakage targets, whether groundwater was appropriately considered as an alternative to the pipeline, and the cost of the proposal. The CRU completed its final report on the project in June 2024.

In 2024, the project was permitted to seek planning permission by the Irish Government.

Environmental and economic concerns
Various groups are opposing the pipeline on, among other things, economic and environmental grounds.  The River Shannon Protection Alliance, Fight the Pipe and Kennedy Analysis have been the most vocal opponents.
One of the key arguments of those objecting to the pipeline is that if Irish Water met its own leakage reduction targets in Dublin there would be no need for the pipeline at all.

Kennedy Analysis appeared before the Joint Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government (alongside Irish Water) in April 2018 to debate the proposed pipeline.

Ireland has extremely high levels of leakage -  according to Irish Water’s 2015 business plan network leakage alone (i.e. leakage on the distribution side of the network, not including any household leakage) was 49%.

Average leakage in cities around the globe is considerably lower than this – a 2017 KPMG study of 35 studies globally found that average leakage was 10-13%.

Preferred route
In November 2016, the Parteen Basin, which is to the south of the lough, was chosen as the proposed site of extraction. Water would be pumped via Birdhill to a break pressure tank at Knockanacree near Cloughjordan, all in County Tipperary and gravity fed from there to Peamount in Dublin.

Concerns
Various groups have been formed by those challenging the pipe.

As the proposed extraction of water upstream of the ESB's hydroelectric station at Ardnacrusha may reduce the flow available for the generation of electricity, Irish Water will compensate ESB for any loss.

Metal vapor synthesis. In chemistry, metal vapor synthesis (MVS) is a method for preparing metal complexes by combining freshly produced metal atoms or small particles with ligands.  In contrast to the high reactivity of such freshly produced metal atoms, bulk metals typically are unreactive toward neutral ligands.  The method has been used to prepare compounds that cannot be prepared by traditional synthetic methods, e.g. Ti(η6-toluene)2.  The technique relies on a reactor that evaporates the metal, allowing the vapor to impinge on a cold reactor wall that is coated with the organic ligand. The metal evaporates upon being heated resistively or irradiated with an electron beam.  The apparatus operates under high vacuum. In a common implementation, the metal vapor and the organic ligand are co-condensed at liquid nitrogen temperatures.

In several case where compounds are prepared by MVS, related preparations employ conventional routes.  Thus, tris(butadiene)molybdenum was first prepared by co-condensation of butadiene and Mo vapor, but yields are higher for the reduction of molybdenum(V) chloride in the presence of the diene.
