Asymmetric counteranion directed catalysis. Asymmetric counteranion directed catalysis (ACDC) or chiral anion catalysis  in enantioselective synthesis is the "induction of enantioselectivity in a reaction proceeding through a cationic intermediate by means of ion pairing with a chiral, enantiomerically pure anion provided by the catalyst". Although chiral Brønsted acid catalyzed reactions may well fall into this category of catalysis under the definition given here (e.g., protonation of an imine by a chiral phosphoric acid), the extent of proton transfer and the demarcation between hydrogen bonding and full proton transfer is often ambiguous.  Hence, some authors may exclude ion pair formation by proton transfer as a type of chiral counteranion catalysis.  The discussion below will focus on chiral ion pairs generated through means other than proton transfer. (For a discussion about chiral Brønsted acid catalyzed reactions, see the article on hydrogen bond catalysis.)

The concept of utilizing the counteranion as the source of chirality in catalysis was first proposed by Arndtsen and coworkers in 2000, who applied chiral borate anions to copper-catalyzed olefin aziridination and cyclopropanation. The enantioselectivities observed were low: <10% ee in cases where the chiral borate was the only source of chirality.  However, the observation that enantioinduction occurred only in nonpolar solvents supports the proposed role of the borate as the chiral counteranion.

The term asymmetric counteranion-directed catalysis was coined in 2006 by List in the context of organocatalytic iminium reduction in the presence of a chiral phosphate anion:

Chiral anions have been combined with homogeneous catalysts, illustrated by chiral phosphate anions for intramolecular allene hydrofunctionalization reactions catalyzed by phosphinegold(I) complexes:

Subsequently, Toste and coworkers advanced the concept of chiral anion phase transfer catalysis, in which phase segregation (solid/organic or aqueous/organic) is used as a tactic to enforce the pairing of a cationic reagent or intermediate with a chiral counteranion.  In the example below, the fluorinating reagent Selectfluor exhibits extremely limited solubility in nonpolar solvents and is therefore unreactive as an insoluble bulk solid.  Exchange of its tetrafluoroborate anions with two equivalents of a chiral, lipophilic phosphate anion brings the reagent into solution as an ion-triplet which behaves as a source of chiral "F+":

Carlisle II. Carlisle II  is the oldest of only two operational examples of a Puget Sound Mosquito Fleet  vessel. (The other is the 1922 Steamship Virginia V.) They were once part of a large fleet of small passenger and freight carrying ships that linked the islands and ports of Puget Sound in Washington state in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

History
Carlisle II  was built in Bellingham in 1917 by Lummi Island Navigation Company, and first carried freight and passengers between Bellingham and the Carlisle Packing Company's salmon cannery on Lummi Island. Original power was from a Fairbanks-Morse Type "C-O" Heavy Duty Marine Oil Engine. It was a three-cylinder hot bulb (or "semi-diesel") engine rated 75 horsepower at 340 RPM.

In 1923 she was rebuilt as a car ferry and ran from Gooseberry Point to Lummi and Orcas islands.

Horluck Transportation Co., under Captain Willis Nearhoff, purchased Carlisle II in 1936 and converted her back to passenger vessel use for the short run between Bremerton and Port Orchard across Sinclair Inlet. The service was heavily used during the war years by personnel commuting to and from the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in Bremerton. Eventually Mr. Nearhoff's daughter, Mary Lieske, became manager and then owner of the company.  She was also reportedly the first woman ferry captain.

Seattle businessman Hilton Smith bought out Horluck in 1995 and invested almost $300,000 in repairs and upgrades to Carlisle II. In 2008, Kitsap Transit purchased Carlisle II from Smith and continues to use her as needed on the Bremerton-Port Orchard run. The vessel underwent a major, two-year renovation that cost $1.3 million and was completed in 2021. The renovation included replacing the engine, generator, ventilation, and propeller, along with repainting of the exterior and seating areas.

Current status

Carlisle II remains in operation, acting as a backup vessel for service between Bremerton and Port Orchard, Washington. The MV Waterman, a hybrid diesel-electric ferry, is the primary vessel for the service.

Carlisle II has been designated a "Floating Museum" by the Washington Commission for the Humanities, and her interior is decorated with numerous photos and information about her and other Mosquito Fleet vessels.

SWIPSY. SWIPSY was a firewall toolkit produced by the Defence Evaluation and Research Agency in the UK (later QinetiQ). The SWIPSY toolkit was an ITSEC E3 (equivalent to Common Criteria EAL4) evaluated product that allowed additional code to be added to its security ‘compartments’ without affecting the evaluation status of the toolkit itself.

SWIPSY had security properties that assured network and process separation. In particular processes communicating with one network could not communicate directly with the other network other than by ‘trusted mover agents’ that in turn force data to be passed to the format and content checkers. SWIPSY ran on a Trusted Solaris 8 platform, utilising its Mandatory Access Controls to enforce separation between compartments.

SWIPSY, which stood for SWitch IP SecurelY, was used to build an SNMP firewall system called MIDASS.

SWIPSY technology was licensed by Clearswift for use in its Deep-Secure line of guard products.

SWIPSY was used as the basis for a guard for the Citrix ICA protocol by QinetiQ.

Mill finish. Mill finish is the surface texture (or finish) of metal after it exits a rolling mill, extrusion die, or drawing processes, including sheet, bar, plate, or structural shapes. This texture is usually rough and lacks lustre; it may have spots of oxidation or contamination with mill oil. Most mill finish surfaces are machined or treated with polishing, industrial etching, or some other surface finishing process before they are considered complete.

The quality and characteristics of mill finish can vary widely from one mill to another, and even from one lot (set of similar parts all processed consecutively or in a short time) to another. Hot rolled parts are usually dark and dull, their surface oxidized from being hot worked. Extruded products may have die marks running the length of the stock. Other mill finishes are surprisingly smooth and uniform. 

It is possible for a mill to influence the finish of produced stock. Carefully maintained and polished rollers can increase the smoothness and lustre of their product, and some rolling mills will follow rolling with an annealling process to give the stock a matte finish.

Wooster and Davis. Wooster and Davis -- Lieutenant Stanton Hall Wooster (April 1, 1895, Connecticut – April 26, 1927) and Lieutenant Commander Noel Guy Davis (December 25, 1891, Salt Lake City, Utah – April 26, 1927) were two United States Navy (USN) airmen who made an attempt to fly the Atlantic Ocean from New York to Paris in the spring of 1927. The men were trying to win the $25,000 Orteig Prize offered by New York hotelier Raymond Orteig for the first nonstop flight between New York and Paris. Competitors for the prize were French World War One ace Rene Fonck and his crew of three, USN Commander Richard Evelyn Byrd, Clarence Chamberlain with plane owner Charles Levine, and a young airmail pilot named Charles Lindbergh. On the Paris side of the Atlantic their competitors were another World War One French ace, Charles Nungesser, and his navigator Francois Coli.

Wooster and Davis flew a Keystone Pathfinder (N-X179) plane called American Legion. Newsreel footage taken of the men and their plane are extant and record the duo's goings-on during that spring of 1927. While testing with a heavy load of gas on April 26, 1927, the Pathfinder lost altitude and crashed on its nose in Virginia, killing both men. The eventual victor of the Orteig prize was Charles Lindbergh three weeks later.
