Diallyl trisulfide

Diallyl trisulfide (DATS), also known as Allitridin, is an organosulfur compound. Derived from the hydrolysis of allicin, it is one of the main components in garlic oil. Although garlic contains many polysulfides, including diallyl disulfide and diallyl tetrasulfide, DATS is one of the most potent.

Biological applications

Garlic is reported to have many potential health benefits in humans, including anti-cancer effects, platelet aggregation, blood pressure reduction, decreases in cholesterol levels, and increases in levels of reactive oxygen species. These benefits are attributed in part to DATS. DATS has been shown to selectively kill cancerous cells in the prostate and breast, leaving healthy cells unharmed. This is due to its ability to increase reactive oxygen species (ROS) within cancer cells, increase the number of cells that arrest in the G2 phase of mitosis, and promote an increase in caspase-3 activity. These effects appear to contribute to the apoptosis of cancer cells and a decrease in cancer cell proliferation.

Paris Saint-Germain Féminines

Paris Saint-Germain Féminines is a French women's professional football club based in Paris. It was formed in 1971 as the female section of Paris Saint-Germain Football Club.

The first team, managed by Farid Benstiti, participates in Division 1 Féminine for the 12th consecutive season and now operates at Bougival's training centre. For their home games, the team abandoned the Stade Municipal Georges Lefèvre in favour of the Stade Sébastien Charléty, in the heart of Paris.

Domestically, Paris Saint-Germain Féminines has won the Division 2 Féminine title once and the Coupe de France Féminine once. In international club football, the Parisian side reached the 2015 Final of the UEFA Women's Champions League, losing 2–1 to Frankfurt.

History

The female section of Paris Saint-Germain was born in the summer of 1971, following the green light given by the French Football Federation for the practice of women's football. For the 1971–72 season, the club signed 33 women. At the end of the 1978–79 season, Paris Saint-Germain Féminines was promoted to Division 1 Féminine. However, PSG was relegated to Division 2 Féminine in 1982, finishing runners-up in the 1982–83 season and the 1984–85 season. The ladies finally achieved promotion to Division 1 in 1987, staying put until 1992, when they were relegated again. PSG returned to the top-flight in 1994, but following a disastrous season, "Les Parisiennes" finished rock-bottom and were relegated straight back to Division 2 in 1995. Six years later, PSG won the D2 title and were promoted to the premier division in 2001. Since then, the ladies have never been relegated from Division 1.

Accuracy International Arctic Warfare

The Accuracy International Arctic Warfare rifle is a bolt-action sniper rifle designed and manufactured by the British company, Accuracy International. It has proved popular as a civilian, police, and military rifle since its introduction in the 1980s. The rifles have some features which improve performance in very cold conditions, without impairing operation in less extreme conditions.

Arctic Warfare rifles are generally fitted with a Schmidt & Bender PM IItelescopic sight with fixed or variable magnification. Variable telescopic sights can be used if the operator wants more flexibility to shoot at varying ranges, or when a wide field of view is required. Accuracy International actively promotes fitting the German-made Schmidt & Bender PM II/MILITARY MK II product line as sighting components on their rifles, which is rare for a rifle manufacturer. The German and Russian Armies preferred a telescopic sight made by Zeiss over Accuracy International's preference.
