Womens Semis Results: Wozniacki to Clash with Konta in Finals
In Thursday's Miami Open action, both semifinals contests were played. World No. 14 Caroline Wozniacki will battle world No. 11 Johanna Konta for the Miami Open title.
First, it was Wozniacki over world No. 3 Karolina Pliskova 5-7, 6-1, 6-1.
Pliskova started the opening set with a 4-2 lead. Wozniacki bounced back to go up 5-4, but Pliskova wouldn't quit. She saved three set points, and with momentum, the world No. 3 took three straight games for the 7-5 set win.
Wozniacki showed tremendous composure to rebound. She opened up the second set with three straight wins, and from there, Pliskova didn't have an answer. Wozniacki claimed 12 of the last 14 games with 6-1 victories in the second and third set. Pliskova finished the match with 46 unforced errors compared to 23 for Wozniacki.
"I'm not sure how I managed to do that. It's definitely tough to lose that first set, especially after you had set points. It hits you a little bit," the Denmark native said. "But, I got a good start in the second set and that got me going, got me grinding."
Wozniacki is now 4-1 in head-to-head play with Pliskova. Her lone loss against the Czech native came in February.
Wozniacki's run to the finals includes wins over Lucie Safarova, Sorana Cirstea, Varvara Lepchenko, and Garbine Muguruza. This will be her second finals appearance in 2017.
At night, Konta got the better of world No. 12 Venus Williams 6-4, 7-5. The British native is now 3-1 against the American legend, despite the fact that 13 of the past 19 finals in Miami have featured a Williams sister.
At 2 hours, this was a long battle for a match that ended in straight sets. Konta's youthful energy at age 25 quite possibly could've contributed to her extended mobility that gave her the upper-hand against the older Williams.
Konta is 1-0 in career play against Wozniacki with a win in January at the Australian Open. Both competitors will be going for their first Miami Open crown.
"Against Caroline, I'm definitely going to be looking forward to playing a lot of balls and a lot of tough points. She's one of the best athletes in the game. She ran a marathon for goodness sake. I'm sure it'll be a match where I'll be running for a lot of balls. Hopefully, we'll give a great match for the final," said Konta.
The women's finals will take place Saturday.
Tickets for the annual event start at $12 for youth and $15 for adults. A group rate of $7 is also available for 20 or more and grant access to all day session matches. Tickets are on sale now, for more information go to www.miamiopen.com or call the Miami Open ticket office at 305-442-3367.

Mitsubishi i-MiEV from £23,990
Currently reading: Mitsubishi i-MiEV from £23,990
Mitsubishi lowers the cost of its urban electric vehicle
Mitsubishi has reduced the UK launch pricing of the i-MiEV electric car to £28,990 - or £23,990 after the UK government's £5k consumer incentive is taken into account.
Mitsubishi originally priced the the first ever mass-produced electric vehicle at £38,699 before the £5k incentive.
See more pictures of the Mitsubishi i-MiEV
The Mitsubishi i-MiEV is an all-electric version of the i four-seater, with the combustion engine and fuel tank replaced by a 63bhp electric motor and a large battery pack.
Mitsubishi is keen to highlight the low running costs of the car to potential buyers. The iMiEV has a range of 90 miles and costs 96 pence per charge; Mitsubishi claims it will cost £144 for 12,000 miles of driving.
Read Autocar's first drive of the Mitsubishi i-MiEV
Read the original pricing story at Autocar.co.uk
The i-MiEV is exempt from road tax and the London congestion charge, and attracts no benefit-in-kind company car tax. Mitsubishi claims it also has low servicing costs; it says the car's powertrain has only four moving parts compared with over 300 in a typical internal combustion engine.
Over 2300 i-MiEVs have been operating on Japanese roads since full production started in July 2009.
UK models have been involved in end-user trials with UK customers in the Coventry and Birmingham area since mid-December 2009.
i-MiEVs will be offered with a range of personalisation options, including roof and wing mirror graphics, enhanced stereo/MP3 systems, leather interiors and environmentally friendly accessories such as floor mats made from biodegradable bamboo fibre. Deliveries will start in January 2011.See all the latest Mitsubishi reviews, news and video

Q: What is the NgXS state flow here? I am trying to understand the state flow of NgXS here in an Angular 12 application.
There is the service, which I believe performs the actual retrieval of configuration from the API:
@Injectable({
  providedIn: 'root'
})
export class UserService {

  constructor(private http: HttpClient) { }

  getUserConfig = () => this.http.get<UserConfig>(`${env.api.url}/user/config`);

}

Then there is the state class, which first provides selecting items from state and secondly populating the state by calling the service (above):
@State<UsrStateModel>({
    name: 'appState',
    defaults: {
        usr: null,
        ...
    }
})
@Injectable()
export class UsrState implements NgxsOnInit, NgxsAfterBootstrap {
    constructor(
        private userService: UserService
    ) { }

@Selector()
static userConfig(state: UserStateModel): UserConfig | null {
    return state.userData.userConfig;
}

@Action(GetUserConfig)
getUserConfig(ctx: StateContext<UsrStateModel>) {
    return this.userService.getUserConfig().pipe(tap(
        data => {
            ctx.setState(patch({ userData: patch({ userConfig: data }) }));
        }
    ));
}

Then there is the consuming component of the state:
@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
export class AppComponent {
  destroy$ = new Subject();
  userConfig: UserConfig;

  populateUserConfig = () => {
    this.userConfig$.pipe(filter(a => a != null), distinctUntilChanged(), takeUntil(this.destroy$)).subscribe(data => {
      this.userConfig = data;
    });
  }
}

My question is, will the data assigned to this.userConfig in populateUserConfig be completely populated, or will it's content only be fully available later?
My current understanding is that observables provide a stream of values but if their values are written to a non-observable variable that variable (should be) accessible as if is has finished being assigned a complete value. Is this correct?

A: I am not exactly clear on your use case for wrapping the observable logic in a named function populateUserConfig... possibly you are wanting to control when you actually create the subscription etc?
The named function populateUserConfig will not hold data / be populated as it is just a function that executes your subscription.

*

*this.populateUserConfig() simply executes the subscription to the
observable this.userConfig$ which in turn hydrates
this.userConfig with any data emitted from that observable stream.

looking at the observable itself:
this.userConfig$.pipe(filter(a => a != null), distinctUntilChanged(), takeUntil(this.destroy$)).subscribe(data => {
      this.userConfig = data;
    });

This will subscribe to the observable this.userConfig$ and filter out any nulls via filter(a => a != null), and any non-distinct values via distinctUntilChanged(), and will continue to emit new data via takeUntil(this.destroy$)) until this.destroy$emits.

*

*This subscription will continually update this.userConfig with non
null distinct values until told to destroy ensuring your variable this.userConfig always has the latest emit from the observable stream.

Regarding your question of will the data assigned to this.userConfig in populateUserConfig be completely populated, or will it's content only be fully available later?

*

*That truly depends on when you invoke populateUserConfig() to
create the subscription and start listening for data from the this.userConfig$ observable.

*If invoked in a class constructor, for example, it would probably hydrate this.userConfig with data as soon as it becomes available etc

Air pollution caused 400,000 premature European deaths in 2016 - EU agency

By Jonas Ekblom
BRUSSELS (Reuters) – Poor air quality caused about 400,000 premature deaths in Europe in 2016, the most recent year data is available, and almost every city-dwelling European is exposed to pollution levels that exceed healthy levels, according to a report on Wednesday.
"Air pollution is currently the most important environmental risk to human health," the European Environment Agency (EEA), the EU's health agency, said in the report.
The report's author, EEA air quality expert Alberto González Ortiz, said that while the level of dangerous particles in European cities was dropping, it was not dropping fast enough.
"We have not yet reached the EU standards and of course we are far from reaching the WHO (World Health Organization) standards," Ortiz said.
EU law currently requires countries to assess the level, notably in urban areas, of a range of pollutants, including ozone and particulate matter, and take action if certain limits are hit.
Particle pollution in cities has become the target of tougher restrictions after the EU's top court ruled in June that cities needed to act if pollution levels were exceeded in a single black spot rather than based on an average across a region.
In July, the European Commission, the EU's executive body, asked the EU's Court of Justice to take action against Spain and Bulgaria over their poor air quality, warning the countries were failing to protect citizens against pollution.
EU limits are set per pollutant and in 2017, 16 out of the EU's 28 member states reported at least one case of levels of nitrogen dioxide, a poisonous gas in car exhaust, being higher than the legal EU annual mean concentration. This list includes France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain, Germany and Britain.
Some stations in London, for example, reported levels of more than 50 micrograms of nitrogen dioxide per cubic metre of air, compared with the legal EU annual mean concentration of 40 micrograms.
On Tuesday, the British government proposed a new environment bill that includes legally binding targets to reduce fine particles in the air and forcing vehicle manufacturers to recall cars that do not meet particle emission standards.
Reducing the number of cars is an important factor in reducing air pollution in cities, especially of nitrogen dioxide, Ortiz said.
"When we fight pollution, we also fight climate change as well as noise and promote more healthy behaviour. It's a win-win," he added.

What happened to the Chrysler Super Bowl commercial?
Jeff Sabatini
Feb 6th 2012 at 11:29AM
The gritty Chrysler Super Bowl commercial starring Clint Eastwood may not have been as much of a shock – or as universally well-regarded – as last year's Eminem spot, but it's certainly going to have cube-dwellers trawling YouTube to catch another viewing. Problem is, Chrysler's YouTube channel ran into some problems this morning. Viewers attempting to watch the commercial instead got a message saying "This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by NFL Properties LLC."
When we reached Chrysler spokeswoman Diana Gutierrez earlier today, she could only say, "We are investigating right now."
The video did become available on the Chrsyler YouTube channel by 11:00 AM Eastern time, though we are awaiting some explanation of what happened from Chrysler's PR team. As a stopgap measure while the Chrysler channel was still down, the ad was posted to another Chrysler YouTube page, PentastarVideo. Still, Chrysler's problems during a high-traffic part of the day means it must have missed plenty of eyeballs.
Watch the video after the jump.
Chrysler Group Airs "It's Halftime in America" Commercial During 2012 NFL Championship Game
February 5, 2012 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - Chrysler Group television commercial titled "It's Halftime in America" that aired during the 2012 NFL Championship game plus still images. Video and images are downloadable via links on the right side of this page.
The following is the script from the commercial:
It's Halftime in America Script
It's halftime. Both teams are in their locker room discussing what they can do to win this game in the second half.
It's halftime in America, too. People are out of work and they're hurting. And they're all wondering what they're going to do to make a comeback. And we're all scared, because this isn't a game.
The people of Detroit know a little something about this. They almost lost everything. But we all pulled together, now Motor City is fighting again.
I've seen a lot of tough eras, a lot of downturns in my life. And, times when we didn't understand each other. It seems like we've lost our heart at times. When the fog of division, discord, and blame made it hard to see what lies ahead.
But after those trials, we all rallied around what was right, and acted as one. Because that's what we do. We find a way through tough times, and if we can't find a way, then we'll make one.
All that matters now is what's ahead. How do we come from behind? How do we come together? And, how do we win?
Detroit's showing us it can be done. And, what's true about them is true about all of us.
This country can't be knocked out with one punch. We get right back up again and when we do the world is going to hear the roar of our engines. Yeah, it's halftime America. And, our second half is about to begin.

To determine the possible impact of over-exploitation on the genetic structure of Turkish red pine (Pinus brutia Ten.) populations, three natural and three over-exploited (human degraded) populations of the species in the Mediterranean region of Turkey were investigated with Randomly Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD). With the 80 RAPT) primers tested, 12 of them yielded 137 polymorphic RAPD fragments. Four of the studied populations maintained unique fragments. The mean proportion of polymorphic fragments for all populations ranged from 89.8 to 98.9% and there were no significant differences between natural (94.8%) vs. over-exploited populations (92.7%). The estimated heterozygosity values suggested that Turkish red pine maintains high levels of genetic diversity (range 0.24-0.28) though studied populations and grouped ones as natural (H-e=0.28) vs. over-exploited (0.27) did not differ significantly. The mean F-ST value indicated that the large portion of the total genetic diversity was within populations (93%), but this value was lower in the natural populations (92%) than in the over-exploited ones (94%). In over-exploited populations, excess of homozygosity was observed (about 6% higher) as compared to natural populations, indicating impacts of inbreeding in P. brutia.

The pattern of genetic variation in shoot growth of Pinus brutia Ten. populations sampled from the Toros mountains in Turkey
Kaya, Zeki (1997-01-01)
The pattern of genetic variation in shoot growth of Turkish red pine (Pinus brutia TEN.) was studied in 180 open-pollinated families from a south to north transect in southern Turkey. Seedlings from 1 coastal, 1 inland and 2 centrally located populations (45 open-pollinated families each) were grown for 2 growing seasons in a forest nursery located near Antalya. The study revealed that both populations and families within populations varied significantly in all seedling traits except for free growth in the ...
Determination of esterase enzyme polymorphism in house fly (Musca domestica L.) populations in Turkey
TAŞKIN, VATAN; Taskin, Belgin Gocmen; KÜÇÜKAKYÜZ, KÖKSAL; Kence, Meral (2011-01-01)
The objective of this study was to determine esterase enzyme polymorphism in 16 natural Musca domestica L. populations from the Aegean and Mediterranean regions of Turkey by using the native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) technique. The high level of genetic variation among populations and species make esterase enzymes an important tool for analyzing genetic differentiation and evolutionary relationships in insects. In the present study, 22 a-esterase bands were detected by using a-naphthylacetat...
Strong Genetic Control of High Wood Specific Gravity in Young Progenies of Pinus brutia: Potential of Early Selection for Industrial Plantations
Yıldırım, Kubilay; Ozturk, H.; Şıklar, Sadi; Balkiz, O. D.; Kaya, Zeki (2011-01-01)
To increase quality and amount of wood production in Turkish red pine (Pinus brutia Ten.), genetic control of wood specific gravity (WSG), tracheid length and growth traits was investigated in Ceyhan1A progeny trial by evaluating 168 families originated from six clonal Turkish red pine seed orchards. Wood samples were taken by destructive sampling during the rouging of this trial at the age of seven. Differences among the 168 families for mean WSG was large (ranged from 0.35 to 0.62), as indicated by high i...
GENETIC-STRUCTURE OF MARGINALLY LOCATED PINUS-NIGRA VAR PALLASIANA POPULATIONS IN CENTRAL TURKEY
To determine the genetic structure of marginally located populations of Pinus nigra var pallasiana, seedlings of open pollinated families from 7 populations were raised in Kizilcahamam nursery near Ankara for 2 years. Seed weight (SW) and cone weight (CW) for families, number of cotyledon per seedling (GOT), timing of bud set in 1990 (BS90) and in 1991 (BS91), bud burst timing of seedlings in 1991 (BB91), height growth in 1991 (HT90) and final height growth in 1991 (HT91) and final diameter growth of seedli...
The Effects of Test Environments on Estimation of Genetic Parameters for Seedling Traits in 2-Year-old Douglas-fir
The effects of test environments (dry versus wet) on estimation of genetic parameters in seedling traits were studied in 160 open-pollinated families of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) from southwestern Oregon. Seedlings from four populations were grown in two test environments for two growing seasons. Between test environments, -9 bars of water potential difference were created in both growing seasons. Estimated genetic variances in most growth and phenology traits were considerably high...

Q: Loading an executable into current process's memory, then executing it First off, this is only for educational purposes. I am, by no means, an expert.
My first programming language was python. In python you have the exec() and eval() functions which allow you to run arbitrary strings as code. Now I am learning C++ and assembly. I noticed that, when I first started working with C++, there was no equivalent to the aforementioned functions and this is because C++ is a compiled language. This made me wonder if there was a way to have an executable write C++ code, invoke the compiler, and copy the resulting bytecode into memory to dynamically modify the program's functionality. Of course this was impractical and there were better ways to accomplish, in essence, what I wanted. Finally, I started learning assembly which helped give me some insight as to what bytecode really is and how it works. This prompted me to come back to this concept; seeing it as both a challenge and an opportunity.
Here is the general idea:
Program A has executable file Program B as a resource (for example).
Program A wants to execute Program B in its own address space (after modifying it or whatever it wants to do).
Program A allocates the space (with the appropriate permissions of course).
Program A copy's Program B's bytecode into the allocated space.
Program A resolves Program B's imports.
Program A transfers execution to Program B (which can transfer the execution back to Program A etc).

This is the basic code that I have so far:
#include <iostream>
#include <windows.h>
#include <winternl.h>

DWORD Rva2Offset(DWORD rva, PIMAGE_SECTION_HEADER psh, PIMAGE_NT_HEADERS pnt)
{
    size_t i = 0;
    PIMAGE_SECTION_HEADER pSeh;
    if (rva == 0)
    {
        return (rva);
    }
    pSeh = psh;
    for (i = 0; i < pnt->FileHeader.NumberOfSections; i++)
    {
        if (rva >= pSeh->VirtualAddress && rva < pSeh->VirtualAddress +
            pSeh->Misc.VirtualSize)
        {
            break;

UPDATE: This code works most of the time. It seems to fail on complex programs and, as of right now, I am not sure why. For those who are wondering: The reason there is an & 0x80000000 is because that bit signifies that you are to treat the two low order bytes as an ordinal. So I use MAKEINTRESOURCE to convert the address accordingly.

A: You code is a good start, but you are missing a few things.
First is, as you mentioned, resolving imports. What you say looks right, but I've never done this manually like you so I don't know the details. It would be possible for a program to work without resolving imports, but only if you don't use any imported function. Here your code fails because it tries to access an import that hasn't been resolved ; the function pointer contains 0x4242 instead of the resolved address.
The second thing is relocation. To make it simple, PE executable are position independent (can work at any base address), even if the code isn't. To make this work, the file contains a relocation table that is used to adjust all the data that are dependent on the image location. This point is optional if you can load at the preferred address (pINH->OptionalHeader.ImageBase), but it means that if you use the relocation table, you can load your image anywhere, and you can omit the first parameter of VirtualAlloc (and remove the related checks).
You can find more info on import resolving and relocation in this article, if you didn't find it already. There is plenty of other resource you can find.
Also, as mentioned in marom's answer, your program is basically what LoadLibrary do, so in a more practical context, you would use this function instead.

A: If you want to load an arbitrary code (rather vague expression but let's use it) then you can make a DLL. Then, at run time you can get LoadLibary to load it and GetProcAddress to get a function pointer to the functions exported by the DLL.
I think this is the closest thing you can do in C/C++ to what you describe.

A: I once did something similar. At first, you should write very simple function in C(++). For example:
int add(a, b) {
     return a + b;
}

Then compile it as object file (do not link). Then copy the executable code from object file and try to load that into memory.
If you are using executable, you have to parse information in it. Also, you will have to do linking.


Deroy Murdock has published an article entitled "Greener than 'green'" in the National Review that compares several environmental impacts of fracking with those for several popular renewable energy sources. I strongly recommend the article.
Just one area of interest is the amount of water used per unit energy. Mr. Murdock claims it typically takes three gallons of water per million Btu of energy from fracking natural gas as compared with 11 gallons for nuclear power, 23 gallons for coal, and 15,800 gallons for corn ethanol.
The article is worth the read.

High time: a grownup's guide to the cannabis revolution
Joint support: liberals and conservatives actually agree on legalized weed
Two-thirds of the US favor marijuana legalization, making it one of the least divisive issues in the country

Two-thirds of the country favor recreational legalization and polls consistently show support for medical use well above 80%. Illustration: George Wylesol/The Guardian
With the US weeks away from the most contentious midterm election in at least a generation, Americans of all political persuasions increasingly want marijuana to be legal.
Two-thirds of the country favor recreational legalization and polls consistently show support for medical use well above 80%. In 1996 when California became the first state to allow medical use, roughly one in four Americans wanted to legalize the drug. Since then there has been a seismic shift, and today, according to the data site FiveThirtyEight, support for legalization is among the least divisive issues in the country.
Blazing a trail: as legal cannabis goes global, will Britain be next?
Refreshingly, public opinion on marijuana policy refuses to conform to the country's familiar red state/blue state divide. While legalization is somewhat more popular with Democrats, it has long attracted supporters from the libertarian right.
With public opinion strongly in favor of legalization, it has become the default position for Democrats, while political realities have pushed Republicans in the same direction.
Now that 31 states allow medical use, support for legalization has climbed amid perceptions that cannabis may be a treatment option for veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder and could be an "exit drug" for people addicted to opioids. The evidence that marijuana relieves these overlapping scourges is still more anecdotal than scientific, but both have been hard-felt in conservative, rural areas. Hope for relief has led veterans, a traditionally right-leaning constituency, to overwhelmingly support medical marijuana research.
Thirty-one states allow medical use, and polls suggest voters in conservative Utah will pass a stricter medical marijuana law on election day, despite initial opposition from the Mormon church. Illustration: Sam Morris
The dynamic was apparent in June, when voters in deep-red Oklahoma approved a permissive medical marijuana law. Polls suggest voters in conservative Utah will comfortably pass a stricter medical marijuana law on election day, despite initial opposition from the Mormon church, the state's most important institution. The religion, which doesn't permit consumption of alcohol or caffeine, has become comfortable with doctor-supervised medical marijuana use but not recreational use, whether legal or not.
In November, legalization proponents hope to unseat Congressman Pete Sessions, a Texas Republican who has blocked votes on modest measures like allowing Veterans Administration doctors to recommend medical marijuana in states where it's legal. Sessions (no relation to the anti-legalization US attorney general, Jeff Sessions) is in a competitive race and recently met with mothers who advocate for research into cannabis as a treatment for autism.
Sessions' opponent, Colin Allred, is a civil rights attorney and former NFL player who supports medical marijuana legalization. (Former NFL players who suffer severe chronic health problems, are a small but influential constituency that has advanced acceptance of medical marijuana.)
One unusual aspect of the legalization debate as it plays politically is that with few exceptions, neither supporters nor opponents are especially eager to discuss marijuana and the consequences of legalization.
The cannabis industry sees itself as an engine for creating jobs and offering the public a safer alternative to alcohol, but very few public officials are willing to go that far. Instead both Democrats and Republicans emphasize the potential benefits for veterans, and oppose harsh penalties for minor marijuana offenses. I've yet to hear a politician say it will be a net benefit to society when every American adult has access to weed. Substantial campaign donations await whoever is willing to make the case.
Cannabis capitalism: who is making money in the marijuana industry?
Legal, commercial marijuana may yet prove to be beneficial. But as access becomes easier, it's also likely to become clear that there are drawbacks to many more Americans spending much more of their lives high. When that happens it's possible to imagine Democrats calling for tighter control of legal cannabis and the industry gravitating to the anti-regulation GOP.
Until then, politicians of both parties have absorbed the lesson: no one wins votes by taking away the people's weed.


Collecting shapes and patterns from English, American and Italian suit styles and textiles, she kicked off the project with a poster-like tailoring guide. Designed to be posted in the dressing rooms of this imaginary clothing boutique, the guide is digitally printed using an HP Indigo press onto white ClingZ – an adhesive-free, electrically charged graphic substrate that sticks to wood, metal, glass and more. Want to move it? Simply peel it off its current surface and slap it on somewhere else!
From there we move to the real highlights of this kit: the hangtags! GPA's Ultra Digital Gold Pearl Cover served as the basis for three of them, each one featuring a different suit pattern, as well as a shorter herringbone pattern overlay of clear polyester film. "The appearance of a die-cut window in the overlay created by leaving blank spaces speaks well to the ideal uses of the clear polyester," points out GPA's Lisa Behning.
The fourth hangtag is actually printed on 17 pt. Cohesive Cover. Nice and thick to be sure, it IS a great alternative for a hangtag that's simpler to produce, but personally my heart belongs to the other three golden ones.
Rounding out our imaginary retail environment, Alanna has adorned each of her neckties with a stylish belly band. Again digitally printed – this time on Ultra Digital Cream Felt – these wraps tactilely enhance the customer experience with every touch.

Looks amazing, well done and keep on with the blog 🙂 That scenery is quite incredible.
"Congratulations" doesn't cut it – particularly since there are so many different aspects to congratulate you on. To ignore the kms, the hills, the money raised and the mud would be unfair, but concise. I wanted most to say thank you for the blog and the inspiration and entertainment it has brought. Good job and I hope you keep at it.

Q: SASS using mixins (breakpoints) in different file i am struggling with breaktpoints in SASS.
I have this file structure

*

*style.scss

*_layout.scss

*_variables.scss

I wanna use code breakpotints from _variables.scss in _layout.scss
_variables.scss
$screen-xl-min: 1200px;

@mixin xl {
    @media (min-width: #{$screen-xl-min}) {
        @content;
    }
}

_layout.scss
@use 'variables';
nav {
    height: 80px;
    @include xl {
        background-color: red;
    }
}

style.scss
@use 'variables';
@use 'layout';

And I have error

SassError: Undefined mixin.

Can someone tell me, what am I doing wrong? Thanks a lot for a help!

A: Try and change
@use 'variables'

for
@use 'variables' as *;

A: Check the documentation: https://sass-lang.com/documentation/at-rules/use
In your example correct way will be write @include variables.xl {}
Or modify @use rule like @Café wrote


Now a Day's DDR4 memory and Intel X99 Chipset Motherboards exposures are in the air. In this race till now almost every industry giant manufactures has taken their part. In DDR4 Memory Race, Corsair and G.Skill both are seems leading, G.Skill previously announced it's 3200MHz DDR4 and today announced that, it's DDR4 Memory already reached 4004MHz!
Unfortunately, this is not an Official product, but just Overclocking power. G.Skill Ripjaws DDR4 has recently released the higher frequency 3200MHz (Corsair just uses 3300MHz break the record), Intel Core i7 5930K Processor coupled with Liquid nitrogen and the Asus Rampage V Extreme motherboard, finally broke the 4GHz mark.
In order to achieve such a high frequency, for Overclocking a very famous Overclocker Shamino (Giving is services for Asus) is doing the job, he took only a 4Gb Single memory in order to reach at 4004MHz level, timing 17-25-29-50, voltage unpublished.
Legendary DDR4-4266, from when we can see the real product ?

Play as a lone-wolf agent who has only one companion – his trusty gun. Use his sharp-shooting skills rivaled only by his sense of style to kill the enemies waiting in specific locations of every level. Aim by holding the left mouse button and shoot by releasing it.

If you fail and run out of bullets, you will have to start over. Make every shot count, think strategically and calculate the trajectory before going in guns blazing.

Project managers must look beyond requirements, budgets and timelines to ensure they are executing high-impact, high-visibility projects with a direct line to the organization's overall strategic goals. Here's how to be recognized by executives and stakeholders as an indispensable strategic partner.
During last year's Gartner PPM & IT Governance Summit, the research firm identified seven best practices for an effective PMO. Consider them seven essential goals that every project professional should aspire to achieve.
What was Gartner's overarching message? "Project management office activities should improve project, portfolio, and program management practices and show value." Here are the seven goals all project professionals should strive to attain, as well as expert advice from some CEOs.
From the hiring stage to project execution, all too often project management offices have focused time and energy on primarily technical aspects of project execution. This focus on primarily technical job-related activities can leave a gap in areas like soft leadership skills. PMO offices should hire, train and mentor project managers with the soft skills to, in turn, do the same. Project managers who have the requisite skills and abilities to direct effort towards creating buy-in, mentoring, conflict resolution, and driving changes to offer companies the best advantages. This creates a larger pool of top-notch leaders who understand the value they contribute to project and strategic goals.
Once a PMO has hired and trained strategic thinkers, it increases the likelihood of executing high-impact, high-visibility projects that align with the long-term goals of companies. If time is spent executing minor, non-value added or siloed projects, company resources are not only being squandered, potentially more desirable opportunities may be as well. The role of a PMO should not be a passive one; every project professional should have a clear understanding of the direct line from project to strategic direction.
Key performance indicators (KPIs) play an important role in helping project teams identify the required and agreed-on strategic objectives and measure progress. Whether quantitative or qualitative KPIs are used, a PMO should be able to regularly report progress to project sponsors and stakeholders. They should be able to provide considerable visibility into project, program and portfolio performance with absolute confidence.
A project manager and PMO's value can only be recognizable if stakeholders and executives can distinguish a direct line back to strategic goals. There also has to be clear direction and ongoing, transparent communication that flows from project leaders to all areas of the company about how projects are progressing toward those goals. If a project manager can effectively communicate how the efforts of the team are geared toward successfully meeting goals, it helps to pave the way when issues arise, and teams get sidetracked.
Project leaders need to sit down with project sponsors, executives, stakeholders, and teams at the start of any project and nail down the precise information each is looking for regarding KPIs and ongoing project insights. If this is something that's murky from the start, how can a project manager determine the types of data they need to sift through to gather useful, timely and relevant business intelligence. Too much information can be just as bad as no information. Ensure the right tools are in place to offer each area with relevant to-the-point dashboards that can provide at-a-glance takeaways. It should be a project manager's goal to seek and leverage tools that help them capture pertinent real-time data from multiple sources and display it visually so teams can quickly and easily access KPIs in an instant. This helps teams and stakeholders to understand how they are performing and where they are in relation to project goals in an instant.
Project managers should be able to explain how the gathered business intelligence ties into the achievements of the PMO. Information collection and analysis is only worth the exercise if there is a link back to the PMO activities in relation to stakeholder needs.
The PMO and all project professionals should remain in a perpetual state of improvement. It is necessary to continually review processes, internal resources, technologies, culture, etc., to make sure stakeholder needs and strategic goals are being met. What works today isn't necessarily going to work tomorrow. Project managers need to continually evolve to keep pace.
Todd Williams, the President of eCameron, a company that helps leaders translate "vision to value through project execution perfection," believes project management professionals must possess strong business acumen. He explains: "Project managers often come up through the ranks and are so focused on implementation that they forget that the project is really running in an organization to meet a greater goal, some operational or strategic target. They focus on tasks, implementation, and requirements when they need to also understand goals, execution, and customer value." Williams says improving business acumen helps project leaders communicate with executives and other divisions more effectively. This also assists project management professionals "better understand how changes on their project will affect the organization as a whole. Understanding the projects they work on as part of the larger system, makes them more effective at doing their job and more valuable to their company," he says.
