Los Angeles Consular Corps
The Los Angeles Consular Corps (LACC) is an informal organization made up of the international consulates located in Los Angeles, California.

The Consular Corps promotes positive diplomatic relationships between the 105 countries that maintain consulates in Los Angeles through regular meetings, luncheons, special events, and publicizing national days which celebrate various independence days and holidays in member nations. LACC also hosts monthly luncheons and events that allow various Consuls to engage with the culture of Los Angeles and share their home countries' culture as well.

Los Angeles has the second largest consular community in the world, after New York City, with 105 countries currently maintaining a consulate in the city of Los Angeles. The majority of these consulates have jurisdiction over the regions of Southern California, while some serve the entire state of California, and other parts of the Western United States.

Consular corps
Consular corps (from French: Corps consulaire and commonly abbreviated CC) is a concept analogous to diplomatic corps, but concerning the staff, estates and work of a consulate.

The song was written and produced by Alannah Currie and Tom Bailey. It peaked at number 85 in the UK Singles Chart.

Thompson Twins
Thompson Twins were an English pop band, formed in 1977 in Sheffield. Initially a new wave group, they switched to a more mainstream pop sound and achieved considerable popularity during the early and mid-1980s, scoring a string of hits in the United Kingdom, the United States, and around the world. In 1993, they changed their name to Babble, to reflect their change in music from pop to dub-influenced chill-out. They continued as Babble until 1996, at which point the group permanently broke up.

The band's name was based on the two bumbling detectives Thomson and Thompson (who are close doubles, not twins) in the English-language version of The Adventures of Tintin (Les aventures de Tintin). At various stages they had up to seven members, but their best known line-up was as a trio from 1982 to 1986. The band became a prominent act in the US during the Second British Invasion, and in 1985 performed at Live Aid in Philadelphia, where they were joined on stage by Madonna.
Tadabbur-i-Quran
Tadabbur-i-Qur'an (Urdu: تدبر قرآن) is a exegeses (tafsir) of the Qur'an by Amin Ahsan Islahi based on the concept of thematic and structural coherence, which was originally inspired by Allama Hamiduddin Farahi.

Hamiduddin Farahi
Hamiduddin Farahi (18 November 1863 – 11 November 1930) was an Indian Islamic scholar known for his work on the concept of nazm, or coherence, in the Quran. The modernist Farahi school is named after him.

He was instrumental in producing scholarly work on the theory that the verses of the Quran are interconnected in such a way that each surah, or chapter, of the Quran forms a coherent structure, having its own central theme, which he called umood. He also started writing his own exegesis, or tafsir of the Quran which was left incomplete on his death in 1930. The muqaddimah, or introduction to this is an important work on the theory of Nazm-ul-Quran.

2,5-Bis(hydroxymethyl)pyrrole
2,5-Bis(hydroxymethyl)pyrrole is an organic chemical compound with formula C6H9O2N, or (HOCH2)2(C4H3N).  Its molecule can be described as that of pyrrole C4H5N with hydroxymethyl groups HO−CH2− replacing the two hydrogen atoms adjacent to the nitrogen atom.

The compound is a white solid, soluble in water and acetone.  It is stable in alkaline solutions, but otherwise tends to polymerize by self-condensation. The compound was used as an intermediate in the synthesis of hexahydroporphine ("unsubstituted porphyrinogen"), the core of uroporphyrinogen III, precursor of many critically important biological products such as hemoglobin and chlorophyll.

Hexahydroporphine
Hexahydroporphine is an organic chemical compound with formula C20H20N4.  The molecule consists of four pyrrole rings connected by methylene bridges −CH2− into a larger (non-aromatic) macrocycle ring, which makes it one of the simplest tetrapyrroles, and the simplest "true" one.  As indicated by the name, it may be viewed as derived from porphine by the addition of six hydrogen atoms: four on the methine bridges, and two on the nitrogen atoms.

Hexahydroporphine does not occur in nature, but is the core of porphyrinogens such as uroporphyrinogen III (UROGEN), which are precursors of many porphyrins — derivatives of porphine of great biological importance.  The six hydrogens of that core are removed at a later metabolic stage by the enzyme protoporphyrinogen oxidase.  Because of this connection, the compound is also called (unsubstituted) porphyrinogen.

The compound is a colorless solid, soluble in dichloromethane, acetone, and diethyl ether. It decomposes at 185°C.
