SBS has shared new stills from its upcoming drama Again My Life!

Again My Life is a drama about a young prosecutor who gets a second chance at justice after failing to bring down a powerful person.Lee Joon Gistars as Kim Hee Woo, who was unjustly killed while investigating a corrupt politician but unexpectedly gets a second chance at life.Kim Ji Eunstars as Kim Hee Ah, a genius and the youngest daughter of Cheonha Groups CEO.

As Kim Hee Woo gears up for revenge in his second shot at life, he will partner up with many people includingLee Min Soo (Jung Sang Hoon),Kim Han Mi (Kim Jae Kyung),Kim Gyu Ri (Hong Bi Ra), and Woo Yong Soo (Lee Soon Jae).

In the newly released photos, Kim Hee Woo shows various kinds of chemistry with his allies. In one photo, thesociable and popular Lee Min Soo approaches Kim Hee Woo, his junior colleague, first.The two are completely different from each other, but later on, they become close friends.

Kim Hee Woo will also have intriguing chemistry with Kim Han Mi and Kim Gyu Ri, whose lives have changed because of him. Kim Han Mi is a journalist whose status as a child born out of wedlock led her to spend her grade school years with a twisted view of the world, while Kim Gyu Ri is a prosecutor who went to the same high school as him. Both will join him on his quest for justice.

Another helpful aid is Woo Yong Soo, a real estate expert. Kim Hee Woo needs financial power to get revenge againstJo Tae Sub (Lee Kyung Young), and he will meet Woo Yong Soo who can show him the way. The two characters will show perfect pupil-teacher teamwork.

Again My Life premieres on April 8 at 10 p.m. KST and will be available with subtitles on Viki!

A historic agreement has been reached on plastic pollution. 175 nations that met in Nairobi, Kenya, in March have agreed to come up with a binding treaty to tackle a problem that no one nation can address on its own. But how big is the problem of plastic pollution?

The figures for plastic waste are shocking. Seventy years ago production was relatively low, with 2 million tonnes of plastic produced in 1950. Today production is pushing towards 350 million tonnes per year and much of it is going into packaging, textiles and consumer goods that we all use. Yet despite recycling rates increasing to a little over 20%, the majority of that plastic (55%) is discarded with the remainder incinerated. The world isnt coping well with that 55% it discards either. Models suggest that about 11 million tonnes of it is entering the worlds oceans every year and three-quarters of the plastic ever made is now waste.

The United Nations Environment Programmes (UNEP) draft resolution concedes that theres no one solution to the problem. To be sure, organised waste management collection systems will play a part. UNEP also goes out of its way to highlight that the informal waste management economy waste pickers will be important where state-run waste systems are inadequate. A significant reduction in plastic production is also desirable. Recycling and a circular economy are also on UNEPs wish list, and this is where the chemical industry and chemists can shine.

There are clearly opportunities for conventional recycling technologies to reform graded plastics into new items. However, this tends to lead to a lower quality product than those made with virgin petrochemicals. The dream solution to the plastics that the world cant do without would be depolymerisation technologies that can break polymers down into their constituent monomers cheaply and simply, which is why it features in our pages so often. A challenging task, but one that chemists are already rising to.

The next two to three years will be where the hard work really starts for negotiators from these countries. Getting 175 countries to agree on a wide range of binding measures to reduce, reuse and recycle plastics will be difficult. The excellent news is that they will be guided by top scientists sitting on a new international advisory panel that is being set up now and which is modelled on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The first step has been taken and its time for chemistry to play its part in solving a problem that it has helped to create.

NORTH PORT Chemistry, according to Merriam-Webster, is the interaction between people working together, specifically such interaction when harmonious or effective. It should be noted that both Merriam and Webster were book publishers and clearly very into dictionaries, not trash novels, so Im going to assume here that neither was much fun at parties or played a lot of sports, and therefore they would have no feel whatsoever as to how chemistry often impacts whether a team wins or loses.

So lets start with this summation on the importance of chemistry in a baseball clubhouse from Adam Duvall, a former All-Star, who is entering his ninth season in the major leagues with four franchises and has experienced a World Series title and 90-plus-loss seasons.

Its probably overlooked more than it should be, the Braves outfielder said. Its such a long season thats why its so important. Youre spending so much time together. It makes it easier and more fun when guys can come in and be in a good mood and just be able to pull on the same side of the rope.

Theres an ongoing debate about how much impact the loss of Freddie Freeman will have on Atlanta. Offensive production is tangible and easily measured. Harder to define is what most dont see behind the scenes: players seeing a teammate gut it out with injuries to play every day; telling a player whos on the training table his team needs him that day and he needs to play; having the status and presence to command respect to lead an important team meeting during a slump.

Abstract: Radiopharmaceutical therapy poses a unique set of opportunities and challenges. This is the only form of radiation therapy that can target cancer cells precisely at the cellular level, a key requirement for eliminating circulating tumor cells, disseminated tumor cells, and oligometastases. Yet this distinct advantage over other radiation therapies also poses challenges for harnessing its power and for developing predictive dose response relationships. Each radionuclide (and daughter radionuclide) emits a unique set of radiations with different linear energy transfer and ranges in tissue. These can include Auger electrons, conversion electrons, particles, x rays, rays, and particles. The relative biological effectiveness (RBE) of these radiations can depend on the subcellular distribution of the radionuclide in the tissue of interest and on radiation dose rate patterns that are dictated principally by radiopharmacokinetics and the range of the emitted radiations. Recent advances have improved our capacity to develop predictive dose response relationships and harness the power of radiopharmaceutical therapy. Among the advancements that will be discussed are the importance of activity distributions, dose rate patterns, and RBE. Recognizing that distribution of the radiopharmaceutical at the cellular level trumps RBE of the radiations emitted, novel approaches to distribute the dose more uniformly over the targeted cell population will also be discussed. Finally, the role of radiation-induced bystander effects in radiopharmaceutical therapy will also be discussed.

Louisianas chemical manufacturing sector could be poised for a booming year, says Rhoman Hardy, senior vice president, U.S. Gulf Coast, Shell Chemicals and Products.

Louisianas industry will benefit from low natural gas prices and rising demand for vehicles and homes and is well-positioned for the transition to a lower-carbon, more sustainable future, according to participants in a webinar hosted today by 10/12 Industry Report and Business Report. But their optimism was tempered by concerns about inflation and companies supply chains.

Our outlook for chemical production is really the best weve seen in several years, says Martha Gilchrist Moore, chief economist with the American Chemistry Council.

Meeting the industrys customer demands for a lower carbon footprint will require emphasizing efficiency and renewable energy while scaling up existing technologies and developing new ones, says David Yankovitz, chemical practice leader with Deloitte. He says some companies have set up supply chain war rooms focused on the three main challenges: supply shortages, labor availability, and transportation and logistics.

Death on the Nile is now available to buy from online retailers in 4K UHD, Blu-ray and DVD, and PopCulture.com has an exclusive deleted scene from the thrilling mystery film. In the clip, we see more of the chemistry between Inspector Hercule Poirot (Kenneth Branagh) and jazz singer Salome Otterbourne (Sophie Okonedo). The pair runs into one another in an Egyptian marketplace, and spend time discussing Salome's niece/business manager, Rosalie (Letitia Wright) and Jacqueline "Jackie" de Bellefort (Emma Mackey).

The deleted scene offers viewers a deeper insight into the dynamic between Poirot and Salome, with whom the inspector is smitten. At the beginning of the film we find him watching her perform in a London nightclub. Later, the pair end up on the same honeymoon trip for wealthy heiress Linnet Ridgeway-Doyle (Gal Gadot) and Simon Doyle (Armie Hammer). Notably, Poirot had previously noticed Simon with Jackie weeks back while at the London jazz club.

Death on the Nile is a sequel to Murder on the Orient Express (2017) and is based on the renowned 1937 Agatha Christie novel of the same name. The film follows Poirot as he attempts to uncover a murder mystery aboard the S.S. Karnak cruise ship while it floats down the Nile river. The film was directed by Branagh, from a screenplay byMichael Green. Additional cast members include Annette Bening, Russell Brand, Ali Fazal, Dawn French, Rose Leslie, and Jennifer Saunders.

In a previous interview with Stack, Branagh opened up about why he wanted to return to the role of Inspector Poirot. "I guess we are trying to deepen what we did with Murder on the Orient Express and go produce this entertaining mystery with this incredible group of actors and delve into a dangerous love triangle, which involves this friendship circle. It invites you to work out who do you love and who do you hate and who do you desire?"

Commenting on assessments that the story is one of Christie's most personal, the filmmaker offered, "Yeah, it feels personal and heartfelt. I think that she had her own share of heartache to do with love. So I think all the characters have a relationship to love and to lust. The hunger for sex in Agatha Christie's original story is very powerful, and people are reckless in their pursuit of it. Their greed for physical satisfaction is dangerous to a murderous degree." Death on the Nileis available now to own on Digital retailers such as Prime Video, Vudu/Fandango and Apple, and on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray & DVD April 5th.
