He is chairman of the board of the Moroccan Solar Energy Agency and the council president of the Casablanca-Settat region. He was born in Mohammedia, but is a native of Taounate.

Origins and studies
Bakkoury is an engineer who graduated from the École des ponts ParisTech in 1990 and holds a DESS in banking and finance.

Professional career
From 1989 to 1991, he was the head of junior projects at BNP Paribas in the department of large international projects. He was also senior project manager at the BNP Intercontinentale in the department of Financial Engineering. By the end of 1991, he was responsible for their financial activities, and then from 1993 to 1995, was responsible for the clientele of large companies within the BMCI, a subsidiary of BNP Paribas. From 1995 to 1998, he was responsible for the development and financing of the activities of the National Society for Municipal Planning (SONADAC), a mixed company, he was responsible for major development projects in the metropolis of Casablanca. From 1998 to 2001, he was in charge of the business banking division at BMCI.

From 2001 to 13 June 2009, he was appointed by the king of Morocco Mohammed VI to be the General Manager of the Caisse de dépôt et de gestion. On 30 December 2009, King Mohammed VI appointed him as chairman of the board of the Moroccan Agency for Sustainable Energy (MASEN). He was instrumental in MASEN's biggest achievement  so far, the completion of the 582 MW Ouarzazate Solar Power Station

Bakkoury organized the Moroccan pavilion at the Expo 2020 in Dubai.

Political career
Bakkoury's first steps into politics came in 2007 when he joined the Movement of All Democrats founded by Fouad Ali El Himma, which later became the Authenticity and Modernity Party. On 19 February 2012, he was elected Secretary General of the Authenticity and Modernity Party. During the communal and regional elections of 2015, he presented himself in Mohammedia and his party won 8 out of 47 seats.

On 14 September 2015, he was elected council president of the Casablanca-Settat region with the support of the elected RNI.

MASEN Scandal
In the context of the 2021 Moroccan general election there was potentially politically motivated inquiry into Bakkoury's management of MASEN and especially the technology choice of Concentrated solar power. Because of the investigation he was replaced as  the General Commissioner of the Moroccan pavilion at the Dubai Universal Exhibition 2021, but remains the head of MASEN as of 2022.

Darrin of Paris. Darrin of Paris was an American coachbuilding business.

Designer and coachbuilder Howard "Dutch" Darrin (1897-1982) left France and set up a practice in Hollywood at the end of the 1930s and designed special automobile bodies on luxury chassis for Hollywood stars. He also developed an association with the Packard Motor Company and his designs for Packard were produced in relatively short runs by plants sited nearer Packard's own home. Production seems to have ended with the onset of World War II.

Custom bodies, Paris

Darrin had been a US pilot serving in France in the last years of World War I when he met fellow countryman Thomas Hibbard. They were employed after the war as designers by Brewster & Co which they left. Hibbard had helped to establish LeBaron and taking Darrin visited France to supervise construction of some LeBaron bodies in Paris.

They then stayed on in Paris and established first their own design practice, then set up their own factory in Paris: Hibbard & Darrin at Puteaux.

Undercapitalised, they were forced to shut down by the financial crisis of 1929 which badly affected their American backer's resources. Hibbard took a design position back home in General Motors. After a second successful partnership in Paris, known as Carrosserie Fernandez et Darrin, Howard Darrin returned home in 1937 and settled in Hollywood.

Hollywood's Darrin of Paris

His first Hollywood designs, on a Packard 120 chassis, were in the European style and while they did bring in orders they also brought him to the attention of Packard's management. Building Packards would overstretch his Hollywood workshops so they were built by American Central Manufacturing in Connersville ("Little Detroit"), Indiana. Darrin would travel back and forth between California and Indiana supervising construction. This work was shifted to Hess & Eisenhart in Cincinnati to let American Central Manufacturing Company concentrate on Jeep bodies.

Howard Darrin continued to build special orders in his Hollywood shop. The bodies contracted out were convertible Victorias, four-seaters with a low profile but with wind-down windows in their doors.

Pentafluorosulfanylbenzene. Pentafluorosulfanylbenzene, or phenylsulfur pentafluoride, is an organosulfur compound with the formula C6H5SF5. It is colorless liquid with high chemical stability.

Reactivity 
Pentafluorosulfanylbenzene possesses high chemical stability under a wide range of conditions including oxidizing, reducing, strongly acidic and strongly basic environments. For example, it does not react with a refluxing solution of sodium hydroxide in aqueous ethanol, but it can react with concentrated sulfuric acid at elevated temperatures.
The pentafluorosulfanyl group is a strong electron withdrawing group, and leads to electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions at the meta position.

Synthesis 
Pentafluorosulfanylbenzene was originally synthesized by fluorination of diphenyl disulfide by AgF2, a method that suffers from low yield. The best known method of synthesis is the fluorination of diphenyl disulfide with xenon difluoride, but it still only has a 25% yield.

Virtual machine introspection. In computing, virtual machine introspection (VMI) is a technique "for monitoring the runtime state of a system-level virtual machine (VM)", which is helpful for debugging or forensic analysis.

The term introspection in application to the virtual machines was introduced by Garfinkel and Rosenblum. They invented an approach for "protecting a security application from attack by malicious software" and called it VMI. Now VMI is a common term for different virtual machine forensics and analysis methods. VMI-based approaches are widely used for security applications, software debugging, and systems management.

VMI tools may be located inside or outside the virtual machine and act by tracking the events (interrupts, memory writes, and so on) or sending the requests to the virtual machine. Virtual machine monitor usually provides low-level information like raw bytes of the memory. Converting this low-level view into something meaningful for the user is known as the semantic gap problem. Solving this problem requires analysis and understanding of the systems being monitored.

VMI within the virtual machine 

Programs running inside VM may provide information about other processes. This information may be sent through network interface or some virtual devices like serial port. 
The examples of in vivo introspection programs are WinDbg or GDB servers that interact with the remote debugger.

The drawback of this approach is that it requires functioning OS within the VM. If OS hangs or isn't loaded yet, the introspection agent couldn't work.

VMI outside the virtual machine 

VMI tools may be implemented within the virtual machine monitor or as a separate programs that capture information (e.g., contents of the memory) from the virtual machine monitor.
Then this data has to be interpreted to understand the processes in the system. One of the popular tools for such interpretation is Volatility framework. This framework contains profiles for many popular operating systems and may extract different information like process tree or list of the kernel objects.

Elie Aghnides. Elie Prodromou Aghnides (1901–1988) was a Greek engineer and inventor, best known for his invention of the faucet aerator. He was born in Istanbul, Ottoman Empire, in 1901. He had three siblings: Nicholas Aghnides, a former professor at Columbia University; Thanasis Aghnides, a Greek ambassador and undersecretary to the United Nations in London during World War II; and Esmeralda Aghnides. Aghnides was educated in England and received an engineering degree from the University of Belgium.

Aghnides' first invention was the faucet aerator, which is a standard part of nearly all faucets, in 1943. He said he got the idea from watching a waterfall. He also had a number of related patents throughout the years stemming from his original invention. He kept luxury apartments in both New York City and Paris.

Another of his inventions was the Rhino, an amphibious, 5-ton, 4-wheeled vehicle designed for multiple terrains. The prototype was built by Marmon-Harrington in Indianapolis. It was designed with a low center of gravity to prevent it from tipping over. He demonstrated the invention to the military, but they decided not to purchase the invention because they feared the inflatable wheels could be pierced by gunfire. Several photos and videos exist of the testing of the vehicle, and it was reported in 2015 to have been rescued by Eugene Pock when the factory moved to Kentucky in the 1960s, and Pock would bring the Rhino to annual threshing meets.

Aghnides married Margot Enright on July 19, 1952. After their wedding, the couple honeymooned in Europe, but the couple soon split after that, reportedly over a disagreement on whether to have children. After several years, their divorce was finalized.

Aghnides died in 1988 in New York City.

Flashed glass. Flashed glass, or flash glass, is a type of glass created by coating a colorless gather of glass with one or more thin layers of colored glass. This is done by placing a piece of melted glass of one color into another piece of melted glass of a different color and then blowing the glass.

As well as its use for glass vessels, it has been very widely used in making stained glass since medieval times, often in combination with "pot metal glass", made by colouring molten glass, giving colour all through the sheet.   

The colored glass can be partly or completely etched away (through exposure to acid or via sandblasting), resulting in colorless spots where the colored glass has been removed.

Flashed glass can be made from various colors of glass. A finished piece of flashed glass appears translucent.
