Hi guys, I'm looking to invest in a property with the following criteria: It has "beach city" weather. I might have to live in this property for a few years first, and I *hate* hot weather. Looking for city where summer weather doesn't go above 80. So that includes Long Beach, San Pedro, Lomita, Seal Beach, Wilmington, Lomita, Westminster, etc.

National Geographic | Proč zůstávaly mayské pyramidy němé staletí a jak syn archeologů odhalil jejich tajemství
Mou nejranější vzpomínkou je vzdálená mayská pyramida. Vysoká kamenná stavba v guatemalské džungli se schody vedoucími ke dveřím – neodolatelně lákavá pro mé tříleté já, které vzhlíželo vzhůru s odhodláním vyškrábat se až na vrchol. Jenže máma mi to nedovolila. Oba rodiče byli archeologové a na přelomu šedesátých a sedmdesátých let pracovali pro National Geographic, kam brali mě i mé sourozence na expedice k mayským ruinám.
The Maya civilization was a mystery. Our family business was solving it.
My earliest memory is of a faraway Maya pyramid. A lofty, stony thing in the Guatemalan jungle, with steps leading to a doorway—impossibly enticing to my three-year-old self looking upward, determined to scramble up to the top. But my mom would have none of it.

The Lewis basicity of amines on the Legault iodonium Lewis acidity scale
The Lewis basicity of amines on the Legault iodonium Lewis acidity scale Diarylodonium-amine complexes are proposed as key intermediates in metal-free C-N couping reactions. Herein, 1H NMR titration is used to quantify association constants (Ka) between diaryliodonium triflates and synthetically relevant amines from which the amine Lewis basicity (LBI) parameter is calculated. Compared to anionic Lewis bases, distinct solvent effects are observed.

Mid-Year M&A Outlook: Challenges And Opportunities Update
By David Stuart As we reach the mid-point of 2024, it's important to reflect on the year's economic backdrop and its impact on M&A activities within the life sciences sector. The year began amid a complex global economic climate, characterized by persistent, albeit gradually decreasing, inflation and ongoing geopolitical tensions. Economists at the start of 2024 anticipated three to four rate cuts. However, expectations have shifted, with the first rate cut now projected for September.
Automated Nighttime Cloud Detection Using Keograms When Aurora Is Present
1 Introduction Aurorae occur at the high-latitude regions of the Earth, and are colloquially known as the northern and southern lights. These visual light emissions result from the interactions between charged particles in the Earth's magnetosphere and upper atmospheric species. Because of their relationship to interactions with the magnetosphere, researchers have been interested in classifying types of aurorae and correlating them with other events, particularly those having space weather impact.
Life Sciences M&A Outlook: Challenges And Opportunities In 2024
By David Stuart The life sciences industry is one of the most dynamic and innovative sectors of the economy, and M&A plays a vital role in driving growth and innovation. In recent years, there has been a surge in M&A activity in the life sciences industry, as large pharmaceutical companies seek to acquire smaller biotech companies with promising drug pipelines and technologies.
How Organizations Can Address Emerging Security Challenges with Zero Trust
Until relatively recently, most organizations focused their cybersecurity efforts on keeping threats outside the network perimeter. An organization’s data and systems operated inside the perimeter, so keeping threats outside was an effective way of protecting IT assets. Users who were inside the perimeter were generally trusted and thus received access across many resources. But, as technologies and access to resources have evolved, that approach to security doesn't work anymore.
Thieme E-Journals - Synlett
Buy Article Permissions and Reprints All articles of this category This manuscript is dedicated to the memory of Professor Keith Fagnou. We describe the development of a C–O coupling reaction between aryl(2,4,6-trimethoxyphenyl)iodonium salts and aliphatic alcohols under weak base conditions. The scope of the reaction is presented, with 16 examples ranging in yield from moderate to high (54–96%). The limitations of the reaction are also presented.
An efficient and chemoselective method to generate arynes
An efficient and chemoselective method to generate arynes Arynes hold immense potential as reactive intermediates in organic synthesis as they engage in a diverse range of mechanistically distinct chemical reactions. However, the poor functional group compatibility of generating arynes or their precursors has stymied their widespread use. Here, we show that generating arynes by deptotonation and elimination of an “onium” leaving group is mild, efficient and broad in scope.

Prolonged solitary confinement is torture
A Yale Law School report estimates that in 2021, 41,000 to 48,000 incarcerated people in the United States were isolated in cells the size of a compact parking space for 22 or more hours each day for two weeks or more. That is a minimum of 330 hours of isolation with one- or two-hour breaks each day. In Texas, more than 500 people have served more than 10 years in solitary confinement, and an extraordinary 138 have served more than 20 years in isolation. That is torture.
Commentary: Prolonged solitary confinement is torture. The practice needs judicial oversight.

Imagining the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta
…10,000 years ago, before the earth last melted, the Farallones formed the cold coastline of the Pacific and the Fabled City was but a depression of sand and grass. Nearly yearlong gusts swept sand from the sea to the valleys— as miles and miles of frigid dunes formed far, far inland. Then slowly the sun warmed to an epoch of eternal Spring on California’s north coast.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says her Twitter was 'bricked' after criticising Elon Musk over verification payment
US Democratic congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has raised concerns about troubles with her Twitter account after trading barbs with the platform's new boss Elon Musk about the introduction of a monthly fee for verification of users. The heated exchange came after Mr Musk this week tweeted his disapproval of "Twitter's current lords & peasants system for who has or doesn't have a blue checkmark" when he introduced a basic rundown of an $US8 Blue plan. What started the spat?
5 things to know in life sciences: Week of Oct. 3
This week we look at how doctors are using virtual reality to help children manage their fear while in the hospital. We also highlight a new cloud analytics tool for wearables, drug pipeline planning and new research into the virus that causes monkeypox. Finally, we track the path from fossilized DNA to a Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Each week we highlight five things affecting the life sciences industry. Here’s the latest.
Refuge and Resistance
The Indigenous nations of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta region significantly affected European and American colonial history in California. The twisted waterways and wetlands of California’s Delta were a barrier to inland incursions by the Spanish soldiers and priests that had invaded and seized Indigenous homelands in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Will your bank pass on the rise? What about interest rates for savings accounts? Your interest rate questions answered
Following the Reserve Bank of Australia's decision to raise the cash rate by half a percentage point Tuesday, moving the cash rate target to 0.85 per cent — considerably higher than most economists predicted — borrowers on variable interest rates are wondering if and when their banks are planning to pass on the rise. And it looks like there will be more rate rises on the horizon.

Refining boron-iodane exchange to access versatile arylation reagents
Refining boron-iodane exchange to access versatile arylation reagents Aryl(Mes)iodonium salts, which are multifaceted aryl transfer reagents, are synthesized via boron-iodane exchange. Modification to both the nucleophilic (aryl boron) and electrophilic (mesityl-λ3-iodane) reaction components result in improved yield and faster reaction time compared to previous conditions.

Yesterday’s Moon: A Decipherment of the Classic Mayan Adverb ak’biiy
by David Stuart (University of Texas at Austin) Deciphering the Adverb Ak’biiy, “Yesterday” Maya inscriptions contain a few terms or phrases that we can classify as temporal adverbs, helping to specify the timing of events relative to the text’s internal time-frame. One such term is sahm-iiy, spelled sa-mi-ya, “earlier today,” which I identified some years ago in two moon age records at Palenque (Figure 1) (first presented in Houston, Robertson and Stuart 2000).
