Staying the Course

The student chapter of the American Chemical Society (ACS) at Morehead State University (MSU) has been recognized with awards from the ACS almost every year since 1995. The focus of the club changes from year to year depending on the areas the officers would like to emphasize. While tradition is essential to the long-term health of the club, variation and creativity are highly valued. The organization has been involved with a myriad of activities in the areas of outreach, service, fundraising, professional development, philanthropy, and fun (i.e., social activities). Activities over the years have included giving the president of the university a pie in the face to raise money and awareness for the American Cancer Society, cleaning local hiking areas, tutoring students in chemistry, conducting demonstrations for area elementary, middle, and high school students, holding raffles to raise money for national meeting trips, hosting speakers and alumni to talk about career paths, running 5K races to support Alzheimer’s research, taking trips to area industries and seminars, and, of course, selling periodic table cupcakes during National Chemistry Week. This chapter, like all others, has its challenges but has managed to “stay the course” by promoting chemistry and doing its best to excite, inform, and engage those individuals interested in science

Suggestive Material for Song Service Address

The Lutheran Church possesses in its beautiful hymns a priceless treasure. This fact is often attested to by non-Lutheran authorities ·on hymnology. On a recent lecture tour through the United States the greatest living authority on Bach, Dr. Terry, of Edinburgh, referred to the Lutheran hymnal as that precious legacy of the Reformation.\u27\u27 The man who gave the Church of the Reformation her first hymnal is the same who gave the Church the open Bible by putting the Word of God into the vernacular, the same who summed up the fundamental teachings of the Holy Book in that marvelous Laymen\u27s Bible, the Small Catechism, the great Reformer himself, Luther is the founder of congregational singing

Criticism and Evaluation of the Book of Revelation

It is the purpose of this treatise to get at the bottom of some of the early misconceptions and misinterpretations of the Apocalypse -- and by a positive approach endeavor to place the book in its rightful place of honor and esteem among the canonical books of the New Testament. May the Holy Spirit bless this work, and confirm the writer and his readers in the opinion of the early church fathers that this grand. book of comfort and consolation for the world weary Christian pilgrim was written by the Apostle St. John the Divine, by inspiration of the Holy Spirit, and that it is a part of those inspired writings which are “profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. With this purpose in mind, then, and with great humility of spirit, and in perfect agreement with the analogy of faith and the historical confessions of the Church, let us study the early history of this much discussed and much perverted Revelation or St. John the Divine

Use Of Gas Chromatography Mass Spectroscopy To Study Hydroxyfulvenes

This project was conducted to determine the conditions necessary in Gas Chromatography Mass Spectroscopy (GCMS) for various hydroxyfulvenes. Several samples each having unique characteristics, such as high molar mass or specific functional groups, were used to determine the optimal conditions for each compound. Different GC parameters were varied including the inlet temperature, initial oven temperature and oven temperature ramp. Compounds were also studied at varying concentrations in order to determine the optimal conditions needed to produce reliable molecular ion data in the MS.https://scholarworks.moreheadstate.edu/celebration_posters_2021/1042/thumbnail.jp

In the high country : crafting long-form stories on recreation and the environment

Professional project report submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Arts in Journalism from the School of Journalism, University of Missouri--Columbia.Magazine deck: The journalism profession needs to develop a process of best practices for avoiding cliche in environmental stories by treading a thin line between familiarity with a story arc that resonates with a reader and treading too far into the too familiar and resulting in cliche, that has less impact with readers of environmental journalism. "In the High Country" is a master's professional project that encapsulates a series of articles that examines ski area adaptation and informs readers what is lost as an industry adapts to climate change and economic pressures. In the end, a quintessential sport that thrived in the West through the early 20th century until the 1990s has increasingly become a lifestyle only enjoyed by an elite few. The articles were produced in close collaboration with High Country News editors and published as a three-part online series. Those stories were a small percentage of the content produced for the magazine during a six-month internship from July through December 2015. That body of work focused on the natural resource, public lands, recreational, environmental and energy issues of the American West. The analytical component of this project, an in-depth case study of the Boston Globe's "Chasing Bayla," a 2015 Pulitzer Prize finalist in feature writing, was examined to recommend best industry practices for sourcing and building story arcs in environmental features to avoid cliche. The writer, editor, primary source and an outside media expert were interviewed for the analysis

Synthesis, Characterization, and Structure of Cyclopenta[c]thiophenes and Their Manganese Complexes

Cyclopenta[c]thiophenes (2, Scheme 1) and η5-cyclopenta[c]- thienyl complexes are useful in a broad range of applications. For example, several cyclopenta[c]thiophenes exhibit significant antitumor properties.1,2 Heterocycle-fused cyclopentadienyl, including cyclopenta[c]thienyl, zirconium complexes effectively catalyze the regiospecific polymerization of 1-alkenes.3-6 We have a long-term interest 7-10 in the electronic properties of organometallic analogues of the low-band-gap polymer poly(benzo[3,4-c]thiophene) (polyisothianaphthene)11-14 that incorporate η5-cyclopenta[c]thienyl monomers
