2C-TFM

2C-TFM is a psychedelic phenethylamine of the 2C family. It was first synthesized in the laboratory of David E. Nichols. It has also been called 2C-CF₃, a name derived from the Para-trifluoromethyl group it contains.

Chemistry

2C-TFM is a code that represents 4-trifluoromethyl-2,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine. The full name of the chemical is 2-[2,5-dimethoxy-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]ethanamine.

Dosage

A psychedelic dosage of 2C-TFM is reported to be 3-5 mg.

Effects

Very little data exists, but some reports suggest 2C-TFM produces psychedelic (hallucinogenic/entheogenic) effects that last between 5-7 hours.

Legality

2C-TFM is unscheduled and uncontrolled in the United States, but possession and sales of 2C-TFM could potentially be prosecuted under the Federal Analog Act because of its structural similarities to 2C-B and 2C-T-7. However, 2C-TFM, unlike many other phenethylamines, has not been widely sold by internet retailers. In the wake of Operation Web Tryp in July 2004, the issue of possession and sales of 2C-TFM and other similar chemicals will probably be resolved in the courtroom as well the fate of this rare but unique psychedelic. There have been no reported deaths or hospitalizations from 2C-TFM.

TeX font metric

TeX font metric (TFM) is a font file format used by the TeX typesetting system. It is a font metric format, not an outline font format like TrueType, because it provides only the information necessary to typeset the font such as each character's width, height and depth. The actual glyphs are stored elsewhere. This is not unique to TeX; Adobe's AFM files and Windows' PFM files use the same technique.

TFM files contain all of the information TeX needs to produce its device-independent (DVI) output. The actual glyphs are then inserted by the eventual DVI output driver or previewer, using, for instance, TrueType fonts, or fonts in METAFONT's PK format. The format is designed to be extremely compact: in the original Computer Modern distribution, every font's TFM file is smaller than 2kb.

Specification

The canonical specification of the TFM format is embedded in the source code of the program TFtoPL.

A TFM file is broken down into a series of four-byte words, which can contain data fields of various lengths. Any data fields that are more than one byte long are held in big endian order. (The exact same file will be generated, regardless of architecture of the computer generating it.)

TFM (radio)

TFM is a local radio station owned and operated by Bauer Radio as part of the City 1 network. It broadcasts to County Durham, Tees Valley and North Yorkshire from studios in Newcastle.

The station currently broadcasts on 96.6 FM, DAB and online with DAB services provided by Bauer Digital. In April 2013, the station was merged with Metro Radio in Newcastle.

History

From the start of broadcasting in 1975, TFM (then known as Radio Tees) was owned by Sound Broadcasting (Teesside) Ltd and originally broadcast on 257 Medium Wave only, with a later launch on 95 VHF. After a government radio frequency re shuffle in the mid-1980s, the FM frequency was swapped with BBC Radio Cleveland and Radio Tees shifted to 96.6 FM in 1986. In 1988 Radio Tees was relaunched as TFM 96.6 after being taken over by Newcastle upon Tyne based Metro Radio Group. Shortly after this, a new Medium Wave station called Great North Radio (GNR) was launched after broadcasting rules meant TFM could not broadcast on both FM and Medium Wave.

TRFM

TRFM (formerly 3TRFM) is an Australian radio station operating west of Traralgon, Victoria. It is owned by Ace Radio and shares studios with sister station GOLD 1242, formerly 1242 3GV. The station broadcasts on FM 99.5 MHz from Mount Tassie near Traralgon into Sale and the Latrobe Valley and on FM 99.9 MHz from Mount Taylor into Bairnsdale and East Gippsland.

History

The station began life in Trafalgar as 3TR, being an abbreviation for 3 Trafalgar Radio. It was founded by Frank Berkery. It has since moved studio locations several times and has been based in Trafalgar, Sale and now presently Traralgon.

The original 3TR studios in Sale are now used by ABC Gippsland. These studios were officially opened by then Prime Minister Robert Menzies on Saturday 29 April 1939 and the program was then relayed across the Victorian Broadcast Network (made up of 3SH and 3HA at the time) to which it then belonged.

For the majority of the station's life it operated on the AM band at 1242 kHz. On Friday 26 April 2002 at Midday the station officially became 3TR FM. For the previous week it was simulcasting on both AM and FM after test transmissions. Also at Midday, sister station 3GV (now known as Gold 1242) commenced on 1242 kHz.
