Ephemeral (company). Ephemeral is a corporate chain of tattoo studios that has raised millions from venture capital investors. Their tattoos were supposed to fade in 9 to 15 months. In February 2023, the company updated the timeframe, saying that 70% of tattoos will fade within two years. The company was founded by five students at New York University, two of whom invented Ephemeral’s ink. In 2021, the company raised 20 million of venture capital funding.

Ephemeral’s tattoo ink is made of bioabsorbable polymer particles that are supposed to break down over time, eventually degrading enough to be eliminated by the immune system.

In September 2023, Ephemeral announced that they are closing all of their studio locations within the month.

Concerns
Customers have complained that their Ephemeral tattoos do not fade, even after fifteen to nineteen months. In response to these concerns, ink co-inventor Brennal Pierre stated:

Dr. Roy Grekin, director of the Dermatologic Surgery and Laser Center at UC San Francisco stated he wasn’t surprised to hear that different people experienced different fade times with Ephemeral tattoos.

Co-founder Joshua Sakhai stated:

Contests
In 2015, Ephemeral won first place in the $200K Entrepreneurs Challenge  and in 2016, Inc. (magazine) named the company the Coolest College Startup.

George Hofstetter. George Hofstetter is an American computer programmer, tech entrepreneur, and campaigner for Black rights who has been active since 2013. He went on to found GHTech Inc., a software and curriculum development company that builds at the intersection of technology and social justice. He is the current chief executive officer and executive chairman of GHTech Inc.

Career 
In 2013, aged 13, Hofstetter competed in the Qeyno Labs Hackathon in Oakland, California, where he and his group developed a social network called "Connect the Dots," creating a space for Black students in private predominantly white schools to share their experiences with one another. His team finished third at the hackathon.

The following year's Qeyno Labs Hackathon was sponsored by ESSENCE and Qeyno Labs in New Orleans and was after the launch of YesWeCode, an initiative started by Prince and Van Jones after the killing of Trayvon Martin with the goal of helping 100,000 young women and men from underrepresented backgrounds to be successful in the tech sector. He and his team developed an app called CopStop to address issues of police violence in Oakland.

After the hackathon and his graduation from The Hidden Genius Project, Hofstetter received a two-year internship in the office of Oakland mayor Libby Schaaf.

Hofstetter founded his company at age 16 with the goal of helping other kids of color gain entry into the world of technology as innovators. He worked on a project for Capital One DevExchange to create a free mobile online curriculum, UpToCode Academy. In the fall of 2017, He was honored by the Equal Justice Society during their annual gala in San Francisco, CA for his work through GHTech Inc.

Hofstetter was included in Google's Black History Month Pay it Forward Challenge in March 2019.

In October 2019, he spoke at a TedxYouth event at the Seattle Academy of Arts and Sciences. His talk was entitled "How technology redefined can be a social justice super power."

Hofstetter's most recent projects/events include the launch of a social networking app designed for education for a California-based non-profit Kingmakers of Oakland, being featured in the documentary, ‘Use of Force: The policing of Black America’ alongside Alicia Garza and Chuck D.

After a viral incident that became international news where Hofstetter was the target of a racist digital attack during his studies at the University of Cambridge. He wrote an opinion piece for the University of Oxford's student paper, The Oxford Blue.

Outside his work Akec has been writing in popular blogs that bear his name. Akec is rather an ambitious man and he is looking forward to opening his own university that would not operate like the rest, rather it will concentrate at looking at the social gaps and creating a curriculum that would train young people to fill them.

Politics 
Akec has opposed some decisions made by the government. which has made him to be branded as opposition by many. He criticized the media for censoring views that are opposing government initiative to dredging the Nile River tributaries of weed to enable water flow. He has put up a public consultation forum within the university of Juba. He organized the fight for Sudd wetlands in response of the governments resumption of the Jonglei canal project despite elites opposing it.

Lithium thiocyanate. Lithium thiocyanate is a chemical compound with the formula LiSCN. It is an extremely hygroscopic white solid that forms the monohydrate and the dihydrate. It is the least stable of the alkali metal thiocyanates due to the large electrostatic deforming field of the lithium cation.

Properties and preparation
Lithium thiocyanate is hygroscopic and forms the anhydrous, monohydrate, and dihydrate, which melts at 274, 60, and 38 °C, respectively. The monohydrate supercools after melting, as it recrystallizes at 36 °C. It is soluble in many organic solvents, such as ethanol, methanol, 1-propanol, and acetone. However, it is insoluble in benzene.

Due to its hygroscopicity, the anhydrous form is hard to prepare. The anhydrous form is usually prepared by the reaction of lithium hydroxide and ammonium thiocyanate, then the water was removed by vacuum, then the resulting solid was dissolved in diethyl ether, followed by adding to petroleum ether to form the ether salt, then it was heated in vacuum at 110 °C to result in the anhydrous salt. The overall reaction is the following:
LiOH + NH4SCN → LiSCN + NH4OH
The ether can be replaced by THF.

Crystallography
The monohydrate has 2 forms, the α form, and the β form; the α form reversibly converts to the β form at 49 °C. The α form has the space group C2/m while the β form has the space group Pnam. More info on its crystallography are listed in the table below.

Alize 20. The Alize 20 (English: Trade wind) is a French trailerable sailboat that was designed by E. G. van de Stadt as a day sailer and pocket cruiser, first built in 1963.

Production
The boat was the first sailboat design built by Jeanneau and marked their entry into that market. The Alize 20 was constructed in France, from 1963 until 1975, with 360 boats completed.

Design
The Alize 20 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig. The hull has a raked stem, a plumb transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed stub keel with a retractable centerboard. It displaces  and carries  of ballast, of which  is the centerboard weight.

The boat has a draft of  with the centerboard extended and  with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water or ground transportation on a trailer.

The design has sleeping accommodation for two people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin.

For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with a symmetrical spinnaker.

The design has a hull speed of .
