Jeff Teague was attracted to the Celtics, in part, because of the opportunity to play with one of the NBAs great young twosomes.

But the veteran point guard doesnt have a lot of time to mesh with Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown or, for that matter, Marcus Smart and Daniel Theis.

With the first exhibition game three days away in Philadelphia, all are scrambling for a groove. Tristan Thompson, according to Brad Stevens, may not even be available by the regular season opener on Dec. 23 due to lingering hamstring trouble.

And none of it is helped by this cram session of a training camp. The process admittedly hasnt been smooth for Teague.

Its a little difficult, because we cant spend as much time together because of certain rules, Teague said during a Saturday Zoom session. Its going fast, and we dont have as much time to jell as we would in a normal offseason. Usually guys come in, play pickup and things like that, and you get to know someone on and off the court. Right now its a crash course. The good thing about this team is they have a really good nucleus, and Im just trying to fit in and figure it all out.

Another orientation is set for January, when Kemba Walker is expected to return from a knee rehab project. Until then, much will fall on Walkers backup.

Weve got a lot of great guys, a lot of talented players, and its going to be a wholeteam effort not having a guy like that right now, a dynamic point guard like that, so I guess well figure it out, said Teague, who has found a particularly receptive audience in Tatum and Brown.

They do a great job of listening, he said. They take advice and its a back-and-forth thing. I know how talented they are and how much they mean to the team, so I just try to give my pointers where I can. If I see something, I try to let them know what I see, and vice versa if they see something, they let me know.

But youve got to find your role, and for them, theyre going to be here for years to come. I just got to find ways to help them be better, and obviously theyre going to help me be better. But thats one thing just trying to help them be the players that they can be and this team to be the team that they can be. And it should be a great year.

Teague also has a varied group of big men to learn and blend with.

Ive played with a lot of talented bigs. Youve just got to figure out the person, he said. Figuring out that you throw the ball up to Rob (Wiliams) because hes an athletic big, he goes and gets it. Theis, you can play different ways on him. And obviously with Tacko (Fall), you want to make sure you throw the ball up. But you learn each other. You figure it out where guys are comfortable catching the ball. Its going to be a work in progress. Were still a team thats trying to figure it out right now. Weve got some time to try to get it right before our first game, but were still working.

Jeff Teague takes a crash course in chemistry - Boston Herald

Scientists have broken the rules of enzyme engineering to unlock a new method for creating chemical reactions that could unlock a wide range of new applications from creating new drugs to food production.

In their paper published recently in Nature Catalysis, Professor Francesca Paradisi and Dr. Martina Contente of the University of Nottingham and the University of Bern show a new method to produce chemical molecules more efficiently through a new one step reaction in the enzyme.

We have demonstrated how a very simple mutation in one of the key residues of a useful enzyme has dramatically expanded its synthetic scope, enabling the use of the mutant variant in the preparation of challenging chemical molecules, as well as natural metabolites that are vital in many biological processes in the body.

Professor Paradis, Professor of Biocatalysis in the School of Chemistry in Nottingham

Any textbook on enzymes will report on how the catalytic amino acids in any given enzyme family are highly conserved, they are in fact a signature of the type of chemistry an enzyme can do. Variations do occur and in some cases, if the replacing amino acid is similar, both can be found in significant proportion in Nature, but others can be much less common and are found only in a limited number of species.

In this study we have explored an untouched area of enzyme engineering and modified the a key catalytic residue in the active site of an enzyme adds Professor Paradisi, Previously it was thought that doing this would cause a loss of activity of the enzyme but we have found this is not the case when this biocatalyst is used in a synthetic direction and in fact challenging but very useful molecules can now be made under mild conditions which could be easily scaled up and replicated commercially for use in a wide range of products.

To change the substrate scope of an enzyme the approach has generally been to mutate the residues involved in substrate recognition, whether through rational design or directed evolution, leaving always untouched the catalytic ones.

The mutant variant of an acyl transferase enzyme was rapidly created and while the native biocatalyst would work with alcohols and linear amines, the mutant work with thiols and much more complex amines too. The research demonstrated that indeed the new variant has lost the ability to hydrolyse esters, but for synthetic applications, where an ester or other functional groups need to be made (thioesters and amides) and not cleaved, this is in fact a major advantage.

We have had fantastic feedback on this study from the scientific community as it is providing a new tool for chemistry that can be applied to a wide range of molecular reactions. The fact that it is a very stable reaction created without the need for specific conditions mean it has the potential for a low cost commercial application in the production of new pharmaceuticals. We believe we have unlocked a new combination in the catalytic triads which nature seem to have disfavoured, possibly to tighten the control on reactivity, but that for a chemist could be a real goldmine.

Dr. Martina Contente

Breaking the Rules of Chemistry Unlocks New Reaction With Applications From Creating New Drugs to Food Production - SciTechDaily

Dec 12th 2020

SHERBURN IN ELMET

ANDREW CLARKE closely guards his recipe for yolk-coloured ink, known in the trade as a yellow 13. But the process is simple enough. Powdery pigment is mixed with solvent, varnish and thickener, many of the supplies imported from abroad, and then milled between steel rollers into a glossy syrup. His factory in Yorkshire specialises in bespoke orders for coatings used to make food cartons, magazines and circuit boards. His small laboratory is lined with pots of resins and wetting agents, and machines that measure the fineness and viscosity of his creations.

Brexit, which comes into full effect on January 1st, worries Mr Clarke. The European chemicals market is fragmenting. He fears the substances that give his coatings their distinctive qualities may slowly disappear from sale in Britain, leaving him reliant on inferior substitutes. If we are trying to sell to Europe, we might be offering our best stuff, but an EU competitor could come in using the state-of-the-art raw material, which in our customers eyes is significantly better, he says.

The future of the British chemicals industry is Brexit in microcosm. Boris Johnson wants a trade deal that eliminates all tariffs on goods, including chemicals. Yet even if he gets this, it will do little to soothe the headaches that arise from leaving the single market. A project that promised to throw off the EUs system of regulation will instead replicate it in miniature, creating a Brussels-on-Thames. Chemical firms, foreign airlines, lawyers and internet companiesall will face new burdens if they wish to keep doing business in Britain.

At root is a grand misunderstanding. Brexiteers often think of the EUs single market as a mere rule book. Thus, they suggest, Britain simply needs to copy those rules into domestic law, and then tweak them at leisure. But the single market is better thought of as an ecosystem: an elaborate regime of registration, surveillance and enforcement. Goods and services percolate freely across national borders because governments can rely on Brussels to keep watch for unwanted adulterations.

Reach, the bit of the single market governing chemicals, is especially strict. Firms selling into Europe must submit lengthy dossiers detailing how their products were made, and appoint an agent on European soil, who can be collared if things go wrong. The system is overseen by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) in Helsinki, which has 600 staff and a budget of more than 100m ($120m). The enforcement is done by a network of national agencies, such as Britains Health and Safety Executive (HSE), based in Liverpool. The result is a free-flowing pool of 23,000 chemicals for Mr Clarke and his continental rivals to choose from, underpinned by a vast database of safety information which regulators can scour for risks.

Theresa May, Mr Johnsons predecessor, asked to stay in Reach, having been convinced there was little to gain from divergence. But this was rejected by the EU, who called it cherry-picking. So Britain will try to replicate the regime at home, under the title of UK Reach. The names of chemicals originally registered by British companies will be copied into domestic law. The HSE will take on the ECHAs job, funded by fees on users. European companies will need a legal footprint to trade in Britain, and British companies vice versa.

The most difficult task will be replicating the ECHAs database. Ministers at first insisted they could simply copy-and-paste it. They could not: it is stuffed with commercially-sensitive intellectual property, and there is little incentive to give a departing state a leg-up. The EU has so far rebuffed Britains request for a chemicals data-sharing clause in the trade deal.

Instead, the government will require Mr Clarkes suppliers to submit the data themselves. But many dossiers were produced by consortia of companies, and there is little reason for a French firm to bail out a British rival. BASF, a big German chemicals firm, reckons registering with UK Reach will cost them 70m ($90m). Small British distributors whose continental suppliers file paperwork under the EU system may find themselves designated importers. One boss calculates a bill of 1m in registration fees if he has to lodge all the substances he imports, on an annual turnover of 15m: Wed be bankrupt in a week.

George Eustice, the environment secretary, now admits some firms may find the task both expensive and time-consuming, and this summer delayed the timetable for lodging dossiers for some products from 2023 to 2027. But more time does not help much, says Peter Newport of the Chemicals Business Association. Its a change from a guillotined beheading to a death by a thousand cuts over a six-year timescale, he sighs.

There are two scenarios for how this will play out. One is that ministers push on with UK Reach, and substances are pulled from the British market as manufacturers conclude that registration costs make low-volume products unviable. The so-called salt-and-pepper additives used in tiny quantities in paints are particularly vulnerable. The flow going the other way is already shrinking. Only 70% of the British firms that registered chemicals with the ECHA before Brexit have started transferring their dossiers to new legal entities in Europe, the regulator notes. Well become very insular, and theyll become equally self-absorbed, says Mr Clarke. As a result, Britain would be a less attractive place to open an assembly line.

The second scenario is that UK Reach founders. The deadlines could be pushed back further, or the new rules left unenforced. With an empty database, says Michael Warhurst of CHEM Trust, an environmental charity, the regulator in Liverpool would be less able than the one in Helsinki to spot hazards, or to defend its decisions against deep-pocketed companies in court.

The promise of Brexit was that Britain would be the master of its own regulation, acting more nimbly or stringently than the EU if it wished. But the outcome Mr Warhurst fears would not be deregulation by design, but one forced upon ministers because their ambitions to match European standards have failed. A big market means Brussels can afford to be strict in its regulation. Britain will learn that it cannot.

What a grand chemistry experiment reveals about Brexit - The Economist

The Philadelphia 76ers are a brand new team and they have to work through a lot of changes in a short amount of time before the 2020-21 season. They have a brand new supporting cast around their star duo and brand new coaching staff.

The team only has a few weeks to get everything sorted out before the season begins on Dec. 23 against the Washington Wizards. Considering the team had a normal offseason in 2019 after they made plenty of changes to the roster and they had chemistry issues, one could be concerned about this current group.

However, there does not appear to be those same issues as the team moves forward.

You got a good group of guys who like each other, said Seth Curry, one of those new additions. That goes a long way on the floor as far as enjoying being around each other in the gym. I think were appreciating a little bit more actually being in the gym after that long layoff earlier in the year. Obviously, with COVID and all that, guys arent taking practices for granted, I know Im not.

Coach Doc Rivers noticed a different spirit in the gym on Sunday as the team prepares to get preseason going on Tuesday against the Boston Celtics. That is a good thing to hear for a very talented team that only has so much time to figure it all out.

It was great practice, said Rivers. I thought maybe one of our better ones, great energy. Guys are starting to get it. Were a long way away from that. Both ends of the floor, just a lot of good energy.

Chemistry is such an underrated and important aspect for any basketball team. It is important that these guys come together and establish some type of connection as it will make things that much easier when it comes to playing on the floor.

Im enjoying coming in and being around the fellas and working on our games, Curry added. I think we also got a good group of vets here that are wishing the younger guys and playing their role so its an exciting time for all of us.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --U.S. chemical production is regaining momentum after coping with supply disruptions, falling demand and shrinking revenue linked to the global COVID-19 pandemic, according to the American Chemistry Council (ACC)'s Year-End 2020 Chemical Industry Situation and Outlook. With the recovery that began in Q3 firmly in place and improvement in many key chemistry-consuming industries, the outlook is positive.

At the start of 2020, U.S. chemistry faced headwinds including a global manufacturing slowdown, protectionist trade policies and uncertainty about the upcoming U.S. elections. As the business effects of the pandemic took hold, chemical production fell. Motor vehicle production plummeted along with supply chain output. Housing showed strong gains due to shifting patterns of remote work and record-low interest rates. Most other end-use segments declined, partially offset by demand for chemistries used to make items used in the response to the pandemic.

"American chemistry is playing a vital role in the global fight against COVID-19, providing inputs for personal protective equipment, disinfection and sanitation products, medical supplies and equipment, protective barriers, and plastic packaging, among others," said Kevin Swift, ACC chief economist and Outlook co-author. In March, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security identified the chemical sector and its workers as 'Essential Critical Infrastructure.'

During 2020, performance among chemical sectors was mixed. Plastic resins was the only segment to post positive growth, due to its role in COVID-related solutions. Other basic chemical segments declined, especially synthetic rubber a key ingredient in tire manufacturing. Specialty chemicals saw demand falter across nearly all functional and market segments. ACC expects a fairly significant rebound in 2021.

"The post-pandemic outlook is for broad-based growth in chemicals supported by solid fundamentals," said Martha Moore, senior director of policy analysis and economics at ACC and co-author of the Outlook. "Growing customer demand, stabilizing export markets, and a competitive edge linked to domestic supplies of shale gas and natural gas liquids (NGLs) are among the factors pointing to continued gains in U.S. chemistry."

Total chemical production volume excluding pharmaceuticals fell by 3.6 percent in 2020 and is expected to grow by 3.9 percent in 2021 and 2.7 percent in 2022. Basic chemicals production fell 1.3 percent in 2020 and is projected to grow by 5.0 percent in 2021 and 3.2 percent in 2022.

U.S. GDP tumbled 3.8 percent during 2020, down from a 2.3 percent gain in 2019. As the global economy recovers from the pandemic-induced recession, U.S. growth is expected to rebound 3.7 percent in 2021 and 3.2 percent in 2022, led by stronger consumer spending. Industrial production fell 6.9 percent in 2020, with declines occurring in nearly every sector. Industrial production is expected to rise 3.7 percent in 2021 and 3.5 percent in 2022. Growth is anticipated for nearly all industries, with the largest gains occurring in motor vehicles, aerospace, appliances, iron and steel, petroleum refining, and plastic and rubber products.

Automotive and building and construction are important end-use markets for chemistry. Production of light vehicles was very strong during 2015-19, averaging nearly 17 million units per year. Sales are expected to average only 14.4 million in 2020. A V-shaped recovery has begun, and sales are expected to rise to 16.0 million in 2021. The consensus outlook is for sales to improve further and remain at elevated levels over the next several years.

The consensus outlook for housing is for a gain to 1.34 million units this year as many households move to less densely populated areas, followed by modest progress through 2025. Household formations are supportive, as are job and income gains in the long-term. Low mortgagerates have provided some stimulus. Shortages of labor and available lots are constraining the pace of growth, however. Housing starts are set to edge higher to 1.38 million in 2021 and 1.36 million in 2022.

U.S. chemicals trade will be notably lower in 2020, and it will be a year or two before total trade flows return to pre-COVID levels. Total chemicals trade is projected to shrink 7 percent to $220.8 billion in 2020, then recover to $240 billion in 2021. Exports will fall 9 percent to $124.0 billion in 2020 before expanding to $134.5 billion in 2021. Imports will fall 5 percent to 96.8 billion in 2020, then recover to $105.5 billion in 2021. The chemicals trade outlook is linked to the shape of the manufacturing recovery, trade policy, and the course of COVID-19. Potential changes in global supply chains could affect international trade levels longer-term.

LYNN HAVEN, Fla. (WMBB) The Mosley boys basketball team opened the year by losing two games at a tournament in central Florida.

However, the Dolphins said they were just getting to know each other at the tournament with the football players not joining them at practice until later November.

Starting the season on the road down there in Wildwood with those guys not having any practices under their belt, were still trying to find out who we are and what our identity is, Mosley head boys basketball coach Michael Memmen said.

Once the Dolphins returned home, they beat South Walton, a win that built their confidence.

Once we won that first game, then we won that second game, we realized we could be winners, Mosley boys basketball player Chase McCarter said.

Mosley then beat Bay by one point and Arnold by three in their following two games.

Its exciting, its scary in the moment too because you dont know whats gonna happen until the buzzer goes off, Mosley boys basketball player Jake Piorkowski said.

As long as we keep moving forward in the right direction, I think well be able to be where we need to be, come February, Memmen said.

Memmen said his team has a goal to become the first Mosley boys team to go to the state playoffs three years in a row and become the first team to win a playoff game for the program in several years.

I believe the last time Mosley won a playoff game was 2007 or 08, but Mosley has never been to the playoffs three years in a row, and thats something they want to accomplish, Memmen said.

Next up for the 3-2 Dolphins is a game at Marianna on Monday night.

Just keep watching us were gonna get better from here were excited to play Marianna Monday its gonna be a good game, Piorkowski said.

Steph Curry admitted that it will take time to find chemistry with his new Golden State Warriors teammates following their opening preseason game on Saturday night.

"Honestly, I don't know because I've had a solid, consistent core. I think from Monday to now we're starting to talk about some of the patterns and some of the things that I'm used to, especially if I give up the ball.

"And knowing where open spots on the floor are. It will come. I don't know what the specific answer to the question is, but it will come. ... It's just one of those things where you have to continue to communicate," said Curry.

Curry had 10 points on 3-of-10 shooting from the field.

Steve Kerr added that the new Warriors will have to get used to Curry's unique style.

"I think with most players who come in, they're not used to the second half of the possession. They're sort of used to whatever the pattern is in the beginning. But as soon as maybe Steph gives up the ball, that's when the action really starts the way we play. And that's the tricky part for guys to figure out."
