Dacco

Dacco are a Japanese visual kei rock band formed by former Psycho le Cému members, Lida and YURAサマ (YURA-sama).

History

Biography

Most of the band's songs consist of acoustic guitar (usually played by Lida) and tambourine (played by YURAサマ). Also whenever the duo are seen as Dacco they always wear black (Lida) and white (YURAサマ) suits. Their reason for wearing opposite coloured suits is to show contrast, and also Lida says he wouldn't look good wearing white.
The band have just recently put the finishing touches to their official website and seem to be hoping to continue Dacco for a long time.

Dacco formed in 2005 after Psycho le Cému announced that they would be going on hiatus. Their first release came in the form of a 3 track single named コイガオカ (Koi ga oka). Shortly after this release the duo went on tour with fellow ex-Psycho le Cému members AYA and seek (Who at the time were in the band ISABELLE under the SYNECTICS guise. Then on 2006/3/1 the band released their first full-length album named ベビー (Baby). Baby contained 11 tracks including a new mix of Koi ga oka. The majority of the album features an electronic pop sound which is different from the acoustic guitar and tambourine of their singles. Dacco then toured to support the new album, and played in the US for the first time at the San Diego Comic Convention (7/21/06 - 7/22/06).

Gastrointestinal tract

The gastrointestinal tract, also known as the gut or alimentary canal, is a tube by which bilaterian animals (including humans) transfer food to the digestion organs. In large bilaterians, the gastrointestinal tract generally also has an exit, the anus, by which the animal disposes of solid wastes. Some small bilaterians have no anus and dispose of solid wastes by other means (for example, through the mouth).

Animals that have gastrointestinal tracts are classified as either protostomes or deuterostomes. The digestive tract evolved separately in these two clades, an example of convergent evolution. The clades are distinguished based on their embryonic development: protostomes develop their mouths first, while deuterostomes develop their mouths second. Protostomes include arthropods, molluscs, and annelids, while deuterostomes include echinoderms and chordates.

The gastrointestinal tract contains thousands of different bacteria, but humans can be divided into three main groups based on those most prominent in the human gastrointestinal tract.

PBS

The Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) is an American public broadcaster and television program distributor. Headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, PBS is an independently operated non-profit organization and is the most prominent provider of television programs to public television stations in the United States, distributing series such as Keeping Up Appearances, BBC World News, NOVA scienceNOW, NOVA, Sesame Street, Doctor Who, PBS NewsHour, Walking with Dinosaurs, Masterpiece, Nature, American Masters, Frontline, and Antiques Roadshow.

Since the mid-2000s Roper polls commissioned by PBS have consistently placed the service as the most-trusted national institution in the United States. However, PBS is not responsible for all programming carried on public television stations, a large proportion of which (including most specials aired during multi-annually pledge drives) come from third-party sources, including member stations (such as WGBH, WETA-TV, WNET, WTTW National Productions), American Public Television and independent producers. This distinction is a frequent source of viewer confusion.

PBS 106.7FM

PBS 106.7FM (call sign: 3PBS), also known as the Progressive Broadcasting Service, is a co-operatively owned community radio station in Melbourne, Australia, that broadcasts on 106.7FM, Digital radio and online. In 2009 PBS celebrated its 30th year of broadcast.

History

During 1975 Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) student campus station 3ST applied to the Broadcasting Control Board for a restricted commercial AM licence. The application was done under the name of the SRNA, with 3ST, 3CT, 3MU and newly formed 3SW (Swinburne University). The application was unsuccessful and the licence went to 3CR.

In 1976 Felix Hofmann, who had no affiliation with any broadcasting radio station, called a meeting of interested parties to establish an FM radio station for "progressive music". It was not practical to hold this meeting at his parent's home in St Kilda East so it was held at 1 Baldwin Street, Armadale in a house shared by Rosalie Brookes, Jane Henderson, another student and Garry Page. To publicise the meeting Felix Hofmann used a press story in "The Southern Cross" newspaper and an advertisement in "The Toorak Times" newspaper; while Garry Page, as a former member of 3ST, extended personal invitations to other 3ST members such as John Maizels and Barry Bron and also posted notices at the 3CR and 3ST studios.

Sodium perborate

Sodium perborate (PBS) is a white, odorless, water-soluble chemical compound with the chemical formula NaBO₃. It crystallizes as the monohydrate, NaBO₃·H₂O, trihydrate, NaBO₃·3H₂O and tetrahydrate, NaBO₃·4H₂O. The monohydrate and tetrahydrate are the commercially important forms. The elementary structural unit of sodium perborates is a dimer anion B₂O₄(OH)₄²⁻, in which two boron atoms are joined by two peroxo bridges in a chair-shaped 6-membered ring, and the simplistic NaBO₃·nH₂O-type formulas are just a convenient way to express the average chemical composition.

Preparation and chemistry

Sodium perborate is manufactured by reaction of disodium tetraborate pentahydrate, hydrogen peroxide, and sodium hydroxide. The monohydrate form dissolves better than the tetrahydrate and has higher heat stability; it is prepared by heating the tetrahydrate. Sodium perborate undergoes hydrolysis in contact with water, producing hydrogen peroxide and borate.

Structure

Unlike sodium percarbonate and perphosphate, the sodium perborate is not simply an adduct with hydrogen peroxide, and it does not contain an individual BO₃⁻ ion. Rather, there is a cyclic dimer anion B₂O₄(OH)₄²⁻, in which two boron atoms are joined by two peroxo bridges in a chair-shaped 6-membered ring. This makes the substance more stable, and safer for handling and storage. The formula of the sodium salt is thus Na₂H₄B₂O₈.
