2007-08-11 23:55:00 The success principles - Jack Canfield (5 Audio CDs) If there’s anyone qualified to write a self-help book on success, it’s Jack Canfield , who’s worked his way from scraping by as a teacher to holding a Guinness world record for having seven books simultaneously on The New York Times® Best Sellers list. As a coauthor of the Chicken Soup for the Soul® series, he’s sold more than 80 million books, and now lives “in a beautiful California estate” with his days of dining on spaghetti and tomato paste long behind him. “All you have to do is decide what it is you want, believe you deserve it, and practice the principles in this book,” he says, and success is yours. His advice is straightforward (examples: “reject rejection” and “surround yourself with successful people”), but rather derivative, with quotes from the likes of JFK, Colin Powell, Aldous Huxley, and fellow motivation author Napoleon Hill.Canfield’s definition of success is primarily ...

2007-08-05 13:18:00 Addition of Amine to Carbonyl Group “SE PI” (or “SEe PIe”) Secondary amine ? Enamine Primary amine ? Imine (Note: tertiary and quaternary amines do not react with the C=0 group.) Cis/trans (Geometric) Isomers “Z: Zame Zide E: Epposite” Z for same side and E for opposite sides Conformations Gauche conformation: It’s “gauche” (inappropriate) for one methyl group to stand too close to another group. Cyclohexane ring: When you have low energy, you sit down in a “CHAIR” to rest. “BOATS” can be tippy, so they are less stable. Isomers “SS - ED - CC” Isomers of a sugar: If the second lowest -OH is on the Left, the molecule is L. If the -OH is on the Right, it’s D. Meso Compounds “MeSo compounds have a Mirror of Symmetry” Thus, even though they may have stereogenic centers, they are achiral and so do not have enantiomers. NMR Downfield is Deshielded.

Cation The “t” in cation looks like a plus sign: “ca+ion.” Electrochemistry Reduction occurs at the Cathode; Oxidation at the Anode. Remember that the terms beginning with consonants are together, and those beginning with vowels are together. “LEO is A GERC (jerk)” Loss of Electrons is Oxidation, which occurs at the Anode.
