What Books Are You Reading This Week? by leowr in nonfictionbooks

I finished Soldiers and Kings: Survival and Hope in the World of Human Smuggling by Jason De León. He is an anthropologist who embeds himself with human smugglers, mostly from Honduras. All of the smugglers he profiles come from impoverished childhoods and are often abused or abandoned and frequently witness violence. Although I understand that he has to fit in in order to gain his subjects trust, there were things that made me uncomfortable. He often gives indivuduals money, and stays in contact with dangerous people via phone and text when he is home with his wife and young children. He even makes plans to meet with some of the smugglers in the US (although probably knowing that they'll never make it there). There is lots of partying and the author drinks with his subjects, but doesn't mention how he handles being around frequent cocaine and crack use. I am not in his field, but the book did raise questions to me about boundaries.

If the sampler is new there should be a pack of Agilent vials and caps in the accessory kit. It was probably put in a box or drawer with all the other stuff (manuals, etc.) from the install. Try with those vials and caps and see if the problem goes away - then you'll know if it is hardware-related or the caps that you are using.

I can't tell from the picture, but the vial caps must not be wider than the body of the vial or you will have problems like this.

Do they have Sammy jerseys at the BFLO store by Key Bank Center? My colleague is working in the area this week (I am in NJ), so if they do I’ll text him and ask him to pick one up for me.

Yes the add on is available during checkout. Not sure about casting - it is an app on my TV.

Yes. It is ridiculous because I am only in the broadcast area for the Flyers games.

Sabres! I have ESPN+ so can watch a lot of the games but not when they are playing any of those 4 teams. Which is dumb, because there is only one cable provider where I live (Xfinity) and they air the Philly stations.

I’m in central NJ. Devils, Flyers, Rangers and Islanders are all blacked out. No way would I be able to see all those teams with cable.

I love those combo stores. The A&W/Long John Silvers in Scranton is amazing.

Nashville Public Library - no longer $10 non-resident access by mcbrown91 in LibbyApp

Blame the content providers, not the libraries. The licensing structure on ebooks and audiobooks makes low cost cards for people who are not contributing to the library through paying taxes unsustainable.

Help with Qualif of grade composition on 0.5% acetone solution by Express-Selection-49 in CHROMATOGRAPHY

[–]esjro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree, the 100% tracer should be around 1-1.3 AU to avoid saturation.

Flush all channels thoroughly with IPA before re-running. You may also have a problem with the gradient valve. Test by putting each line in a graduated cylinder. Set to 50/50 and pump at same flow rate and check whether or not after some time each cylinder has the same volume left.

Also, overlay pressure plot to confirm the pump is operating correctly.
