Synthesis and solid state structure of pyridyl diboroxines linked by a chiral spacer analogous to Troger's base
posted on 02.03.2015, 15:39 by Mark ElsegoodMark Elsegood, Marc KimberMarc Kimber
Pyridyl-assisted templating of phenyl boronic acid has been utilised to link two remote boroxines via a chiral spacer. The chiral spacer is a carbocyclic analogue of Tröger's base and contains a unique chiral cavity, and the flanking boroxine units have been shown, by single crystal X-ray analysis, to extend the size and shape of this cavity.

George Osborne to unveil Budget on June 22
By George MacDonald2010-05-17T09:37:00+01:00
New Chancellor George Osborne will unveil his first Budget on Tuesday June 22.
The emergency financial plan will be keenly watched by retailers because of its importance in affecting consumer, as well as business, mindset and wallets.
Next chief executive Simon Wolfson, for instance, told Retail Week ahead of the general election that the result was less important than clarity about the measures a new government would take.
He said then: "What matters is the first Budget. What business needs is certainty – the certainty that whoever gets into Downing Street has a credible plan to tackle the deficit."
Measures such as a rise in VAT to as much as 20% and public spending cuts are likely to feature in the Budget, observers believe.
The new Conservative-LibDem coalition Government is committed to a £6bn reduction in spending, details of which will be announced next week.
If 2020 was a year of destruction, then 2021 was one of reconstruction and progress. But 2022 will put this to the test, warns BRC chief executive Helen Dickinson
A six-month series of weekend Tube strikes threaten the recovery of London's West End.

Vinatex begins work on $6.7m garment factory
Vinatex will begin construction of a VND150 billion (US$6.7 million) garment factory in the central province of Quang Binh on August 25.
Graphic image of the garment factory in Quang Binh
The 6ha plant in the Cam Lien Industrial Zone in Le Thuy District will have a capacity of eight million pieces a year, which it will export to key markets like the US, the EU, and Japan.
The first phase of the plant will go on stream next March.
The project is part of plans by the Vietnam National Textile Garment Group – as Vinatex is formally known - to increase output to tap export opportunities expected to arise from various trade agreements the country is set to sign.
Last year Vinatex said it would invest VND4.8 trillion ($213.8 million) in three projects in Quang Binh -- a fibre plant and a garment factory in Ba Don town and a garment plant in Quang Ninh District.
It also signed a memorandum of co-operation with the province for four other tasks -- research and development of cotton for its spinning mills, investment research for the construction of a fibre plant in Quang Ninh District, investment research for a fibre weaving and dyeing complex in Bac Quan Hau Industrial Park, and a feasibility study for building garment factories for exports in Le Thuy and Quang Trach Districts.
In March Vinatex began construction of a fibre-weaving-dying complex in the central province of Quang Nam at a cost of VND1.2 trillion ($53.4 million)./.

Shemar Moore welcomes baby girl with girlfriend Jesiree Dizon: 'Dreams come true'
Anna Kaplan
January 25, 2023, 11:07 AM ·2 min read
Shemar Moore is now a dad.
The former "Criminal Minds" star said he and his girlfriend, Jesiree Dizon, have welcomed a baby girl in a Jan. 24 Instagram post.
"Ya boy is officially a Dad!!! Dreams come true!! The rest of my life is here!" he wrote in the caption of the photo.
The "S.W.A.T." actor announced he was going to become a father just two weeks ago during an appearance on "The Jennifer Hudson Show."
"So I'm Shemar Moore, 52 and a half years old. My mother is in heaven right now," he told Hudson, explaining that the third anniversary of her death will be Feb. 8. "And on Feb. 8, I'm gonna make one of her dreams come true because in real life Shemar Moore is about to be a daddy."
Hudson yelled when she heard the news and said his mother would be so proud of him.
"I'm so excited. I'm sorry she can't be here. I was worried for a while that it was a 'that ship has sailed' kind of thing, but God had my back and things lined up," Moore said. "It's gonna be the best part of my — my life is pretty grand, but I know that whenever God does call my name once I get this experience, I'll be able to go to heaven whole."
Moore shared a video on Jan. 9 from the baby's gender reveal party.
"Your boy got butterflies. This is a special day. This is a legendary day," Moore said at the beginning of the video. "Today, your boy ... Shemar Franklin Moore, is about to find out if he's going to be a daddy to a little girl or a little boy."
Moore and Dizon, 39, surrounded by friends and family, later watched as a helicopter approached in the sky and sprayed pink smoke, indicating the couple would be having a girl.
This is Moore's first child. Dizon has a daughter and a son from previous relationships.
The couple have not confirmed the girl's name, but earlier in the video, Moore said the baby's name would be Frankie if it was a girl, and Legend if it was a boy.

Coming to the back-nine, the tenth par 5 and eleventh holes provide a major test for golfers of all abilities, especially when the wind is against and they both have adjacent out-of-bounds to contend with. The twelfth is a very demanding uphill par four where golfers must negotiate bracken and gorse on both sides of the fairway. And the sixteenth, uphill to a tiered green, is rated as one of the best par-3s on the Island.
The final hole provides one of the most spectacular views anywhere in golf. When you leave the tee, and walk up the slight incline to the crest of the hill, there before you lies Port Erin Bay with the Irish Sea beyond where on a clear day you will be able to see the Mountains of Mourne.

Camerton is a village and civil parish in Somerset,  south west of Bath, lying on the Cam Brook. The parish has a population of 655.

History

The parish includes the hamlet of Tunley, which is the site of a hill fort that has been designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument.

The village stands beside the route of the Fosse Way, and a Roman settlement was south-west of the current village.

The parish of Camerton was part of the Wellow Hundred.

Originally a farming village in North Somerset, its vicar from 1800 was the amateur antiquarian and archaeologist The Rev. John Skinner, who committed suicide in 1839. His studies led him to conclude, incorrectly, that Camerton was the location of the notable ancient British site of Camulodunum. Camerton Court was built by the Jarrett family, to a design by George Repton (son of Humphry Repton), in 1838–40, replacing an earlier Manor House.

The village expanded as a result of coal mining on the Somerset coalfield in the 19th century.  Camerton New Colliery, which started in the very early 19th century, and Camerton Old Colliery, which predates it by about 20 years. Camerton New Pit survived to be nationalised, eventually closing in 1950. The maximum amount mined was 77,000 tons in 1903. In the centre of the village is an old coal spoil tip or "batch" called Camerton Batch (or Camerton Old Batch to distinguish it from the taller Camerton New Batch which lies just to the east). Camerton Batch was designated as a Local Nature Reserve in 1997.

With the closure of the coal mines, it is now primarily a commuter village for people working in Bristol or Bath. Camerton is also home to the National Osteoporosis Society.

In 2007 Camerton was the site of a prosecution by the Environment Agency for the illegal dumping of waste including concrete, tarmac, bricks, blocks, subsoil, metal, fluorescent light tubes, electrical cable and asbestos sheets on the site.

Governance
The parish council has responsibility for local issues, including setting an annual precept (local rate) to cover the council's operating costs and producing annual accounts for public scrutiny. The parish council evaluates local planning applications and works with the local police, district council officers, and neighbourhood watch groups on matters of crime, security, and traffic. The parish council's role also includes initiating projects for the maintenance and repair of parish facilities, such as the village hall or community centre, playing fields and playgrounds, as well as consulting with the district council on the maintenance, repair, and improvement of highways, drainage, footpaths, public transport, and street-cleaning. Conservation matters (including trees and listed buildings) and environmental issues are also of interest to the council.

The parish falls within the unitary authority of Bath and North East Somerset which was created in 1996, as established by the Local Government Act 1992. It provides a single tier of local government with responsibility for almost all local government functions within its area including local planning and building control, local roads, council housing, environmental health, markets and fairs, refuse collection, recycling, cemeteries, crematoria, leisure services, parks, and tourism. It is also responsible for education, social services, libraries, main roads, public transport, trading standards, waste disposal and strategic planning, although fire, police and ambulance services are provided jointly with other authorities through the Avon Fire and Rescue Service, Avon and Somerset Constabulary and the Great Western Ambulance Service.

Bath and North East Somerset's area covers part of the ceremonial county of Somerset but it is administered independently of the non-metropolitan county. Its administrative headquarters is in Bath. Between 1 April 1974 and 1 April 1996, it was the Wansdyke district and the City of Bath of the county of Avon. Before 1974 that the parish was part of the Bathavon Rural District.

The parish is represented in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom as part of North East Somerset. It elects one Member of Parliament (MP) by the first past the post system of election. It was also part of the South West England constituency of the European Parliament prior to Britain leaving the European Union in January 2020, which elected seven MEPs using the d'Hondt method of party-list proportional representation.

Transport

Camerton once had a branch line from the Bristol and North Somerset Railway (part of the Great Western Railway) mainly for coal. It opened from Hallatrow in 1882 and was extended along the line of the former Somerset Coal Canal to Limpley Stoke in 1910, where it joined with the main line from Bath to Bradford-on-Avon. Traffic on the line was never heavy: passenger services were suspended in 1915, resumed in 1923 and finally withdrawn in 1925. Goods traffic remained until 1951. The Titfield Thunderbolt was filmed on the line shortly after it closed.

Religious sites
The Anglican parish Church of St. Peter dates from the 15th century with addition and renovation in 1638 and again in 1891. It has been designated as a Grade I listed building. The grave of Sir Frank Beauchamp who owned many coalmines in the area is in the churchyard.

==What's the connection between Oz and Frank Oz, or any other celebrity with an Ozzy name?==
Born to Fly by Sara Evans. This country video was very clearly inspired by the Kansas scenes of The Movie, as it features an elderly couple (reportedly portrayed by Evans' real parents), three farmhands, a cross old lady who wants to take away Evans' cute little dog, and a tornado whisking her house away at the end. Unfortunately, the video ends with the house still in the air, so we never get to Oz in this one. It has been played on CMT.
VJ Pogo created a tribute mix to The Movie using samples from the soundtrack, which has inspired a video.
Other costume stores with Oz costumes are available on the WWOOW links page, and the WWOOW bookshop's Halloween page (http://thewizardofoz.info/wiki/Halloween) in the fall. If you're just looking to rent a costume, check out The Costume Loft (they also sell costumes) and Broadway Costumes.

Homeless families in Tacloban to wait 'til 2016 for them to be resettled, OPARR official said
TACLOBAN CITY- From the horses' mouths- three years before families rendered homeless due to supertyphoon "Yolanda" could have their permanent houses. During a public hearing conducted by the Senate committee on urban planning, housing and resettlement chaired by Senator JV Ejercito in the city, an official of the Office of Presidential Assistant for Recovery and Rehabilitation (OPARR) admitted that it would take them three years or until 2016 before they could provide permanent houses to the 14,433 families whose houses were washed out during the typhoon. For the construction of these houses, P13 billion has been allocated by the NHA to be implemented for the next three years, said OPARR Usec. Leslie Cordero during the November 27 public hearing held this city. The P13 billion was part of the P167.9 billion comprehensive master plan of the national government in the rehabilitation of areas hit by Yolanda. Lorna Seraspe, group manager-Visayas management office of the National Housing Authority (NHA), said for now 90% of the allocated budget this year for the construction of permanent shelters for Tacloban City were already were bid out.
And for this year, they expect to construct 2,000 housing units, 3,000 for next year and the remaining housing needs by 2016. Aside of Ejercito, present during the public hearing were Sen. Ferdinand Bongbong Marcos and congressmen Ferdinand Martin Romualdez, Alfred Benitez and Kit Belmonte. The solons visited bunk houses in Sagkahan and tent houses in San Jose. Ejercito said that pity the families still living in tents and bunkhouses, more than a year after Yolanda pummeled Tacloban. The senator said the reason why they conducted the public hearing in Tacloban is for them to see whatever progress the national government on its rehabilitation efforts, especially on area of resettlement of families who lost their houses during the disaster.

How To Turn SPORT BETTING Into Success
The scheme was discovered when Delhi police recorded illegal dealings between Indian bookmaker Sanjay Chawla and Cronje. According to the Telegraph in 2010, Cronje was paid off a total of £65,000 from Gupta. In April 2022, league-owned television channel MLB Network launched Pregame Spread, a weekday afternoon show hosted by Matt Vasgersian dedicated to analysis of betting lines and other aspects of sports gambling.
American Gaming Association's stance
Although the rules to win his bet are the same as a parlay, he is paid less than a regular parlay due to the increased odds of winning. 메이저놀이터 selects the sport, number of games, and number of points given. A screen shows a baseball game next to various betting lines at the Westgate Superbook in Las Vegas, Nevada. About 47 million adults in the US are expected to gamble on March Madness this year. Our long-standing experience working with broadcasters provides us with the insights on how to increase engagement with bettors, benefitting operators through innovation and integration of data. On the flip side, if you bet on Seahawks-Rams Over 42.5 points and the score is at halftime, you've got a winner and don't have to sweat out the second half.
Is sports betting legal in Europe?
In an example, if an MLB game has a total of 10.5, an over bettor will want the combined total to be greater, and the opposite for a bettor taking the under. If the combined total is the same as the proposed total, the bet is a push. Most sports books refund all wagers on pushes, though a minority counts them as losses.
The FanDuel Sportsbook app is among the smoothest and most user-friendly in the industry. It has become the go-to option for bettors in a number of legal markets as a result. Top highlights include its innovative same-game parlay feature as well as a big selection of player props for all of the top sporting events. Legal online sports betting is available in 23 states, with the most recent launch in Ohio.
Arizona legalized sports betting in April 2021 after months of maneuvering in the state legislature and public statements of support from Gov. Doug Ducey. The subsequent launch in September 2021 featured the arrival of both retail and online sportsbooks in the Grand Canyon State. DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, and Caesars were among the first sportsbook operators to open for business in Arizona.

The United Nations in Germany
UN Campus Bonn
The United Nations in Bonn
The Federal City of Bonn is home to numerous large and small UN organizations, programs and offices. Today there are a total of around 20 UN institutions based in Bonn with more than 1000 members of staff.

The Federal City of Bonn is home to numerous large and small UN organizations, programs and offices. The success story began as early as 1951 when the UN High Commissioner for Refugees opened a liaison office at the seat of the German Federal Government.
Today around 20 UN institutions with more than 1000 members of staff are based in Bonn including the institution with the most staff members, the Secretariat of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) which, for example, monitors compliance with the Kyoto Protocol and supports the implementation of the Paris Agreement.
Hub for climate protection, sustainability and development
The process to extend the German UN City of Bonn was launched by the decision on 20 June 1991 to move Government headquarters from Bonn to Berlin as this included the goal of assuming new functions and attracting institutions of national and international importance to Bonn.
BILDJune 2016 saw the 20th anniversary of the move of the UN Volunteers Programme (UNV) as well as, a short time later, the Secretariat of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) into Haus Carstanjen in an idyllic location on the banks of the Rhine. On 20 June 1996 the United Nations flag was hoisted for the first time in a ceremony attended by then Federal Environment Minister Angela Merkel and former UN Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali. It is now home not just to some UNFCCC offices but also to the Knowledge Centre of the United Nations Staff System College and to the SDG Action Campaign.
The date 20 June 1996 marks the breakthrough for the development of the UN City of Bonn which is today viewed as a hub of international politics in the fields of climate change, development and sustainability. In 2016, the 20th anniversary of Bonn as the main United Nations City in Germany (in addition to Bonn there are six other UN locations in Germany) is being celebrated with a series of events. The visit by then UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and former Federal Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier on 8 March 2016 marked the start of the celebrations. They took part in a panel discussion entitled "20 years of Bonn as a UN city – shaping a sustainable future through voluntary work" in the World Conference Center Bonn. This was former Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon's fifth visit to Bonn.
On historical ground
As the number of UN staff in Bonn has increased from just a few dozen in the mid-1990s to more than 1000 today, the German Government decided in 2003 to place a large part of the former German Bundestag area at the disposal of the UN – a further milestone in the development of Bonn as a UN city.
The Langer Eugen (a building formerly used by Members of the German Bundestag and named after the former Bundestag President Eugen Gerstenmaier) and Altes Abgeordnetenhochhaus office buildings, together with Haus Carstanjen, were to form the UN Campus. Thus since 11 July 2006, premises have been made available to the United Nations gradually which are not only equipped to international standards but also established at a location which played an important part in shaping Germany's new postwar democracy.
Following extensive refurbishment and construction measures, the Altes Abgeordnetenhochhaus, formerly a wing of the German Bundestag, was handed over to the UN on 15 July 2013. The Secretariat of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) moved in with part of its staff in autumn 2013.
Continuous extension of the Campus

Furthermore, due to the considerable growth in staff numbers, plans for another new office building on the UN Campus were launched. The foundation stone was laid in October 2016 and the building is expected to be completed in 2020. A 17-storey slender high-rise right beside the Langer Eugen and the Altes Wasserwerk built to the highest ecological specifications will provide 330 offices.
Bonn is well prepared for the growth in the UN presence and can provide the relevant conference facilities. In June 2015, the extended World Conference Center Bonn (WorldCCBonn) next to the UN Campus was opened in a ceremony attended by then Foreign Minister Steinmeier and former UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. The new Center can be easily used in conjunction with the UN Campus and is available for conferences with up to 7,000 participants.

Benjamin West (Springfield (Pennsylvania), 10 oktober 1738 - Londen, 11 maart 1820) was een Engels-Amerikaanse kunstschilder. West schilderde een aantal beroemde historische scenes, zoals The Death of Nelson, The Death of General Wolfe en Benjamin Franklin Drawing Electricity from the Sky. West wordt beschouwd als een volledige autodidact, reisde door Europa en vestigde zich uiteindelijk in London. Hij was de tweede voorzitter van de Royal Academy of Arts.

Biografie

Vroege leven
West werd in 1738 geboren als tiende kind in het gezin van een herbergier. West heeft weinig formeel onderwijs genoten, terwijl hij wel excelleerde in de schilderkunst. Van 1746 tot 1759 werkte en schilderde West in Pennsylvania en maakte hij meestal portretten. Dominee William Smith, provoost van het College of Philadelphia was onder de indruk van zijn werk en werd zijn beschermheer. Via Smith kwam West in contact met belangrijke en invloedrijke personen in Pennsylvania. Ook ontmoette hij de schilder John Wollaston, die uit Londen was geëmigreerd. Van Wollaston leerde West enkele technieken en werkwijze die hij overnam.

West raakte ook goed bevriend met de schrijver Benjamin Franklin, van wie hij ook een portret schilderde. Franklin werd de peetvader van de tweede zoon van West, Benjamin.

Grand Tour
In 1760 reisde West, gesponsord door Smith en William Allen, naar Italië in het gezelschap van de Schot William Patoun. Net als veel kunstenaars en liefhebbers van de schone kunsten uit die tijd volgde West een zogenaamde Grand Tour langs diverse "monumenten" van de Europese kunst. West breidde zijn repertoire uit door het bestuderen en kopiëren van de werken en technieken van o.a. Titiaan en Rafaël. In Rome ontmoette West een aantal internationale neoklassieke kunstenaars, waaronder de in Duitsland geboren Anton Rafael Mengs, de Schotse Gavin Hamilton en de Oostenrijkse Angelica Kauffman. In Rome schilderde hij o.a. Cymon and Iphigenia.

Engeland
In augustus 1763 arriveerde West in Engeland, oorspronkelijk voor wat hij zag als een bezoek voordat hij terug zou keren naar Amerika. Echter West zou zich permanent vestigen in Londen en is nooit teruggekeerd naar Amerika. Zijn eerste werken die hij schilderde in Engeland waren Angelica en Medora en een portret van generaal Robert Monckton. West stond in Engeland bekend als de Amerikaanse Raphael. Zijn Raphaelesque-schilderij van Archangel Michael Binding the Devil bevindt zich in de collectie van het Trinity College (Cambridge).

In 1765 trouwde hij in Londen met Elizabeth Shewell, een Amerikaanse met wie hij zich verloofde in Philadelphia, in St. Martin-in-the-Fields.

Hofschilder
In 1772 werd West benoemd tot historieschilder aan het hof van koning George III, na eerder al bevriend met hem te zijn geraakt. West schilderde een serie van acht grote doeken over het leven van Edward III voor St. George's Hall in Windsor Castle. Daarnaast schilderde hij o.a. ook diverse portretten van leden van de koninklijke familie. Vanaf 1791 tot aan zijn dood was West ook de Surveyor of the King's Pictures

Royal Academy
In 1792 werd West gekozen tot voorzitter van de Royal Academy, als opvolger van de overleden Sir Joshua Reynolds. West die in eerste instantie door Reynolds, oprichter van de Academy, en andere academici te min werd bevonden en te ambitieus, nam in 1805 ontslag en werd vervangen door een felle tegenstander, architect James Wyatt. Een jaar later, in 1806, zou West echter opnieuw tot voorzitter worden gekozen en bleef hij in functie tot aan zijn dood.

Onder zijn studenten waren o.a. Washington Allston, Samuel Morse, Robert Fulton, Charles Willson Peale, Rembrandt Peale en John Trumbull.

Overlijden
West stierf in zijn huis in Newman Street, Londen, op 11 maart 1820 en werd begraven in St Paul's Cathedral. De Britse kroon had hem een ridderschap aangeboden, maar weigerde het, in de overtuiging dat hij in plaats daarvan peer moest worden.

Pilot scheme launches for arts and humanities EDI fellowships
A new pilot scheme has been launched by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) to fund a number of fellowships aimed at arts and humanities researchers working in the area of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI).
Up to £100,000 is available for each fellowship, which will support researchers to work with relevant communities to generate more substantial and longer-term community engagement in the areas of history, languages, culture, heritage, creativity and many other fields.
AHRC Executive Chair, Professor Andrew Thompson, said: "Outstanding arts and humanities research can make a real difference to today's EDI challenges.
"This pilot scheme is intended to highlight the range of ways in which it can do that, making existing research more joined up, providing enhanced opportunities for community and stakeholder engagement, and informing AHRC's future work."
Further details on the scope and how to apply can be found here.

I've tried tons of pomade and it's no wonder I easily find new ones that become my favorite. I'm excited to talk about Admiral. It's the perfect amount of hold my hair needs, applies well and smells excellent. Full Admiral pomade review below.
I often get asked to recommend the absolute best pomade to start with.
And while there are dozens to choose from, this is one I would tell you to start with.
Why? Because, you get a really dapper product, that comes in a classy glass container and aside from being an easy product to work with, it is a very reasonable price.
A lot of men are not sure what to start with, but they want to transition from gels to something more natural and classic.
The varieties can be split into two main categories: water-based products and oily products.
The former is more recommended for beginners and the latter may appeal to someone with an old-school style.
I decided to write this Admiral pomade review because it is a great transitioning product that has the qualities of both types of formulas.
Admiral Classic Strong Hold Pomade is a 100% water-based, strong hold pomade with a subtle coconut scent. Developed over the course of 9-months, this product is perfect for classic styles like a Side-Part or Pompadour.
Unlike most water-based pomades, this product contains beeswax for a creamy application and more natural hold. Great for all hair types.
Like most water based pomade it tends to get hard after a while, this one not too bad thanks to the wax.
The Admiral Strong Hold Classic delivers the expected properties of a water-based formula: it has a translucent texture, it is easy to apply and re-style during the day and lets the scalp breathe.
Indeed, the addition of beeswax takes this product to another level, making it more creamy and creating that strong hold that some people want to achieve.
It is suitable for thicker or curly hair, as it covers the hairs evenly and dries into a stronger texture, but with a natural feel. It does not make the hair brittle and crispy, like gels or other similar products.
The coconut scent is subtle and easy to get used to when wearing it. Smells like you are at the beach.
You can really feel you are using a natural product and this also translated into the final finish.
Water soluble pomade tend to dry into a matte finish, but the Admiral doesn't lose its shine. I believe it's the beeswax in it that gives a great look, especially if you embrace the rockabilly style.
This is one of its advantages since you get 4 Oz. of product for a more than reasonable price. I order it from Amazon and it lasts me 4-5 months with regular use.
That was my admiral pomade review. Would I recommend it? Absolutely, it is versatile and suitable for more styles and hair types. It is a must-have, in my opinion.
Absolutely, give it a try. My favorite thing about this is how easy it goes in your hair. I notice less hair in my hands when applying using this stuff.
The smell is good, not cologne, but a beachy coconut scent.
A great hold, even if your hair is stubborn like mine!
I would compare Admiral to Layrite and Suavecito. Unlike those, it won't get crunchy and hard in your hair. The hold is just as good and keeps your hair soft and styled. It has a pleasant beach/coconut scent.

Q: cannot assign SCSS values to css custom properties (css variables) To ensure readability and maintainability, I would like to declare several values like colors for example, but only once.
The problem I have is that it seems impossible to assign the result of a sass function or even simple variables directly to css variable.
.some-selector {
    --my-css-variable: $my-color; // nope
    --my-css-variable: mySassFunction(); // nope
    --my-css-variable: transparentize($my-color, .5); // nope
    --my-css-variable: copy-pasted-value; // alright
}

I can't seem to find any answer on search engines, always finding irrelevant topics at best.
Could you help me?

A: Try with interpolation #{...}
$my-color: #fff;

@function myFunction() {
    @return #000;
}

.some-selector {
    --my-css-variable: #{$my-color};
    /* output: --my-css-variable: #fff; */
    --my-css-variable: #{myFunction()};
    /* output: --my-css-variable: #000; */
}


Washington (CNN) In the Trump administration's list of dos and don'ts, "climate change" is out and "resilience" is in.
The word choices by administration officials — and the extent to which they're going to avoid referencing global warming altogether — are notable in the aftermath of recent severe hurricanes and in the face of questions about what could have caused them.
In the wake of Hurricane Irma, both Federal Emergency Management Agency Administrator Brock Long and acting Homeland Security Secretary Elaine Duke avoided explicitly answering whether the government needs to be more focused on climate change because of hurricanes.
Instead, they both said the focus should be on resiliency.
Other departments are also adopting the language replacement, in some cases making unannounced changes and replacements to their websites and names of programs.
In February, shortly after President Donald Trump took office, the Department of Transportation and Federal Highway Administration changed language across its website relating to the environmental effects of transportation.
The changes swapped words like "adaptation" with resilience and also renamed the "Sustainable Transport and Climate Change Team" to "The Sustainable Transportation and Resilience Team," according to a Environmental Data and Governance Initiative Website Tracking report.
Other references to climate change were also scrubbed from the website, Inside Climate Newsfirst reported.
The terms resilience and resiliency rose to popularity in the US government during former President Barack Obama's administration, used specifically to denote preparing something to ward off the future effects of climate change.
For example, following Superstorm Sandy, the Department of Housing and Urban Development established a first-of-its-kind competition called the National Disaster Resilience Competition. The aim of the competition was to award grants to communities hit by natural disasters to fund rebuilding them to better weather future events worsened by climate change.
"The idea is when dollars are spent to rebuild, you don't just want to rebuild the same old way, you want to rebuild in a way that is smarter and makes it less likely that they will be effected the same way in the future storms — that's resiliency," former HUD Secretary Julian Castro, who awarded the grant at the time, told CNN.
But administration officials counter that resiliency can have a dual meaning — even one that means essentially the same thing, but without the overt climate change undertones.
"Resilience came into our nomenclature in our last administration but that doesn't mean that it's a verboten word any longer," said Brian Sullivan, a HUD spokesman.
"The last administration made that very direct connection between the use of that word and words like sustainability with climate change and, while there may be a reluctance to do that now, I don't think that means folks are any less committed to making sure the next storm is less costly," Sullivan said.
While Sullivan acknowledged that there's been an intentional shift of language at the department, especially as the topic of climate change continues to be discussed — or avoided — hand-in-hand with storm preparedness, he argues that at the end of the day, the administration has the same goals for rebuilding communities.

Q: JsFiddle URL with trailing slash being evaluated as correct link I wrote a small method that evaluates JSFiddle snippet URLs.
A valid JSFiddle snippet URL looks like this: https://jsfiddle.net/BideoWego/y200sqpr/ or https://jsfiddle.net/BideoWego/y200sqpr.
An invalid URL is anything else.
It seems to work well, but for some strange reason it evaluates https://jsfiddle.net/BideoWego/ to true. How can I fix this.

// this should evaluate to false
console.log(checkCourseContentElementCodeFiddleUrl("https://jsfiddle.net/BideoWego/"));

// this should evaluate to true
console.log(checkCourseContentElementCodeFiddleUrl("https://jsfiddle.net/BideoWego/y200sqpr/"));

function checkCourseContentElementCodeFiddleUrl(url) {
    return !!url.match(/((\/\/\/?|https?:\/\/)?(www\.)?jsfiddle\.net\/.+\/.?([?#].*)?)/gi);
  }

A: My solution is if the last character is / then remove it before the regex check, so it will pass only if there's a second parameter in the URL.
Working example

// this should evaluate to false
console.log(checkCourseContentElementCodeFiddleUrl("https://jsfiddle.net/BideoWego/"));

// this should evaluate to true
console.log(checkCourseContentElementCodeFiddleUrl("https://jsfiddle.net/BideoWego/y200sqpr/"));

function checkCourseContentElementCodeFiddleUrl(url) {
  if (url.endsWith("/")) url = url.substring(0, url.length - 1)
  return !!url.match(/((\/\/\/?|https?:\/\/)?(www\.)?jsfiddle\.net\/.+\/.?([?#].*)?)/gi);
}

A: The problem just is in the expression.
console.log(checkCourseContentElementCodeFiddleUrl("https://jsfiddle.net/BideoWego/"));
console.log(checkCourseContentElementCodeFiddleUrl("https://jsfiddle.net/BideoWego/y200sqpr/"));

Former UK Basketball Players in the NBA
Kentucky Wildcats Recruiting
Former Wildcats are thriving in the NBA Playoffs
And at least one of them will soon be an NBA champion.
By James Streble@JStreble82 Sep 16, 2020, 12:28pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: Former Wildcats are thriving in the NBA Playoffs
While some of the players in the NBA bubble may be at their wit's end as they miss their freedom and their families, the former Kentucky Wildcats have been thriving in Orlando.
On Tuesday night we saw an epic game defining block from Bam Adebayo as the Heat took Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals from the Celtics.

The fact that this block was made against former Duke Blue Devil Jayson Tatum made it even sweeter.
Bam's teammate, and fellow Wildcat, Tyler Herro contributed 12 points in the win and received a glowing tweet from former Louisville Cardinals star Donovan Mitchell.

While Bam and Herro were the stars for the Heat, they could not eclipse the biggest star of the night: Jamal Murray. Murray has his team in the Western Conference Finals after coming back from two 3-1 deficits in the previous two series.
Last night's performance was extra special, as he dropped 40 points to send home, in the minds of some, the NBA Champion-favorite Los Angeles Clippers. Kawhi Leonard and Paul George are going home instead of preparing for a showdown with fellow Staples Center residents Los Angeles Lakers.
And for the second game in a row, Murray rocked his Kentucky Blue in the press conference.

Speaking of the Lakers, let's not forget Anthony Davis who is, arguably, the best player in the league right now. Rajon Rondo has resurrected his career in the Bubble and is now known as Playoff Rondo.
These players aren't the only stars that have played in the NBA Bubble to call Lexington their former home. Devin Booker lit it up for the Phoenix Suns. Shai Gilgeous Alexander played well for the Oklahoma City Thunder before being sent home courtesy of the Houston Rockets. PJ Washington was named Second Team All NBA Rookie for the Hornets.
We aren't used to seeing John Calipari's players deep in the postseason due to the fact that high draft picks usually go to traditionally bad franchises. Anthony Davis was stuck on the New Orleans Pelicans for years until he finally got out of town. Now, America is seeing just how good The Brow truly is for the NBA.
Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro went to a Heat franchise with multiple titles; yet that team has struggled to make the postseason in recent years, The addition of Bam, Herro, and Jimmy Butler has made them a team to be reckoned with.
As for Murray, he's just a man on fire. He has the least help out of any of the Cats in the Playoffs yet here he is in the Conference Finals. While nobody is expecting the Denver Nuggets to advance past the Lakers, we are sure to see Murray shine in this series and for years to come.
All of this leads me back to Kentucky and John Calipari. Can the sudden success of the former Cats in the Bubble be utilized to reinvigorate Kentucky's recruiting?
The departure of Kenny Payne was, like it or not, was a blow to Kentucky's recruiting. With the staff in flux as Bruiser Flint and Jai Lucas get their legs under them, John Calipari can now point to his players succeeding on the biggest stage of the NBA as a recruiting pitch. They're getting the better of Duke players, Louisville players, straight-to-the-NBA-players, and multi-year veterans.
All of a sudden, the young crop of promising NBA players is dominated by Kentucky Wildcats. Duke had surpassed Kentucky as the "cool" program, but now John Calipari has the ammo to take back that mantel. There aren't many players in the NBA that have a cool factor that surpasses Murray, Booker, or Herro. They're all flashy scorers that have an off-court presence that matches their on-court presence.
For years John Calipari has helped flood the NBA with young talent and now that is finally paying off for them and the Kentucky Basketball Program.

I never thought I'd make it to the Morganthe dungeon, but a few weeks ago I did with my fire wizard, along with Autumn Dreamwalker's life and balance wizards! :D I had to look up her cheats and found a great Duelist101 article with the cheats and drops! I know I really want the amulet from her (and deck after you're done completing the fight). I love that Kingsisle made a seperation between The Galleries from the Morganthe fight because it would be overwhelming to fight through a dungeon like that! We made sure to power up many Rain of Fire and Ra cards so we could defeat all of the Morganthe's since there were four in the fight.
@Chrissy - Thank you so much for your kind words! I love taking screenshots and adding them to my post. :) Glad you liked reading this blog post!

It's heavy, it's tough to open, and it was never meant to be a lunch box. But if you want to be a badass, this ammo case is way better than any mamby-pamby Care Bears thermos.
The rattle and clank of the steel clasp is enough badassitude to impress your peers whether you clock in at a construction site or a white-collar desk job.
And really, what food item won't fit in the ammo can? A salad. Carrot sticks and hummus. Hell, if it's good enough for a strip of .30 cal, it's good enough for your Reuben. And if a Dagwood sandwich is more your style, the boxes also come in a wider, .50 caliber size.
This isn't some knock-off replica, fashioned by a boutique retro designer. We had to go to an online military surplus site like the Army Surplus Warehouse to find this bad boy. Even better: Buy a used one, and it'll come with dings, scratches and perhaps a little gunpowder on the inside for that gritty, saltpeter flavor. And you can carry it to work on yesterday's badass gadget, the ZBoard electric skateboard.


The local church is mostly visible, though there are invisible characteristics to it. One invisible characteristic is people's hearts, their motives. Just because a person professes outward faith in Christ does not mean that that person is a true child of God, adopted into the family of God. Jesus taught that the church is made up of false (tares) and true (wheat) believers, making it difficult to tell the difference at times. However, a local congregation does have two visible marks, characteristics which tell us if it's true or false. In the Reformed tradition, the marks of a true church are if the Word of God is purely preached, and the second is if the sacraments of Baptism and the Lord's Supper are administered correctly. So, for example, if a pastor from the pulpit continually preaches that Jesus was just a good man, not the divine Son of God, then such a church is a false church. If a believer finds him or herself in a false church, then she or he must leave.
Jesus said that, "I will build my church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it." What He means is that His church will survive, even death and dying, i.e., tribulation and termination. That means the universal church will survive; the church will not be snuffed out!! However, local churches do die. For example, the local church which St. Paul addressed in Corinth is no longer around. Local churches close down all the time. Why? Well churches can get sick just like people get sick. Also, like people many times a church can be deathly sick, but look well and vibrant on the outside. Just as there are marks of a true, local church; likewise, there are marks of a heathy church.
So, what are the marks of a healthy church? Mark Dever insightfully notes "9 Marks" of a healthy church. These marks are: expositional preaching, biblical theology, a biblical understanding of the gospel, a biblical understanding of conversion, a biblical understanding of evangelism, a biblical understanding of church membership, a biblical understanding of church discipline, a biblical understanding of church discipleship and growth, and a biblical understanding of church leadership.
Over the next few months I'll be discussing some of these distinct marks of a healthy local church. Along with this, I will continue my expository sermon series through the Seven Churches of Revelation which is our Lord's diagnosis of a healthy church vs. an unhealthy church. My hope is that we as a church will continue to grow as our Lord continues to build us up, so that we can continue to withstand the gates of hell!


Rehearsal times vary. See schedule for details.
ALL REHEARSALS BEGIN PROMPTLY AT EACH DESIGNATED TIME AT BALMORAL PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH (BPC - 6413 Quince Road - between Kirby and Ridgeway). Please plan to be at BPC AT LEAST 10 to 15 minutes before the rehearsal starts to sign in on the attendance sheet, socialize a little, and be in your seat ready to sing at the scheduled time.
YOU MUST SIGN IN FOR EVERY REHEARSAL AND PERFORMANCE BEFORE IT STARTS. Sign-in sheets will be available 20 to 30 minutes before the beginning of rehearsal. Once the conductor starts the rehearsal, the attendance sheets will be collected and TARDY sheets will be available for signing.
You MUST sign either the attendance sheets or the tardy sheets each rehearsal. Three tardies will result in one absence. The Board of Directors of the Memphis Symphony Chorus believes that our success is directly related to consistent attendance at rehearsals. We appreciate your dedication and commitment to the chorus and to making beautiful music.
