Other miscellaneous applications of malononitdle are the synthesis of 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (46) which is a powerful electron acceptor in the formation of charge-transfer complexes which are of interest because of their conductivity of electricity (96), as well as of 2-chloroben2yhdene malononitnle [2698-41-1] (45) also known as CS-gas, which is a safe lachrymatory chemical used for self-defense devices (97).

In this connection the British scholar Joseph Jacobs deserves special attention. A Jew himself, Jacobs was, as he announced in the preface to Studies in Jewish Statistics (1891), inclined to support the long-standing belief in the substantial purity of the Jewish race. 24 For Jacobs, according to the historian John Efron, Jewish race science represented a new form of Jewish self-defense and his own work a new genre of political resistance, the scientific apologia. But if aimed toward the redemption,...

It is interesting to note that most of our modern uses of chili peppers are preceded by ancient Mesoamericans. Capsaicin, the active chemical constituent, is used today as an irritant in self-defense sprays, and dried chilis were burned by the Inca to blind the invading Spaniards. Just as we apply capsaicin for analgesia, native Americans used to rub chili on the gums to relieve the pain of a toothache. Eunuchs serving Chinese Emperors were castrated after hot pepper extracts were chronically applied to their scrotums.

The ambassador to Rome. The Great Council waxed very mad at him just before Christmas. It couldn t hurt him directly—only the Senate could recall him— but every time the Council had a vacancy of any sort to fill, it would nominate three other Contarinis plus a nonentity, then elect the nonentity. When it put Avonal into the Senate itself, that was the last straw. The Senate recalled Contarini in self-defense. He chuckled. They only sent Avonal along on the Milan junket to get a respite from his efforts to make speeches. At the end of his term he will vanish back into well-deserved obscurity.

Nunn challenged his conviction on several grounds, some of which related to the indictment process and are not relevant here.

The Indiana Constitution says The people shall have a right to bear arms, for the defense of themselves and the State.

L. Neil Smith, science fiction writer, libertarian, and gun rights activist. Smith has written many pro-gun articles and opinion pieces that feature a crisp, hard-hitting style. His fiction emphasizes the moral dimensions of arms bearing and self-defense For example, in The Probability Broach, virtually all people (even children) carry weapons, viewing it as a symbol of autonomy, responsibility, and moral health.
