Indian entertainment industry going through a renaissance: Saif Ali Khan
Mumbai, Jan 4 (IANS) Saif Ali Khan feels the entertainment industry in India is going through a renaissance, adding that stories are leading the change. The actor is gearing up for the release of his new web series Tandav.
"The entertainment industry in India is going through a renaissance and stories like 'Tandav' are at the forefront of this change. As an actor, for me a good piece of dramatic writing and a compelling creation featuring grey characters is always exciting," he said.
"As I read about the complexities of my character Samar and dived deeper into the world of Tandav, I knew that I had to play this character. I look forward to the show's release," he added.
Created and directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, Tandav, a political drama, is written by Gaurav Solanki and also features Dimple Kapadia, Sunil Grover, Tigmanshu Dhulia, Dino Morea Kumud Mishra, Gauahar Khan, Amyra Dastur, Mohammad Zeeshan Ayyub , Kritika Kamra, Sarah Jane Dias, Sandhya Mridul, Annup Sonii, Hitten Ttejwani, Paresh Pahuja and Shonali Nagrani among others.

Along with Zafar, the series also marks the digital debuts of Dimple Kapadia and Kritika Kamra.
Dimple said: "It is a fiction that perhaps gives you a vivid insight into backroom politicking and what goes on in the country's power corridors. Anuradha is the kind of character that I have never played before and I am glad to be making my digital debut into digital streaming with a show that is backed by a credible cast and crew. With multiple layers and so many characters I hope this series intrigues and engages the audience."

"In 'Tandav', I will not be seen wearing a saree and making people laugh," said Sunil Grover, adding: "Ali has created a world that is gripping and given my character the depth that an actor longs for. Saying yes to this role was instinctive," he added.
The show will premiere on Amazon Prime Video on January 15.

The primary storage device in your PC is pretty important. Do you want the best performance? Then you'll obviously go for an SSD. Do you need a lot of storage space? Then the best choice is a traditional hard drive. But what about if you really need both, lots of space that you can quickly access? Now your choices are less clear-cut. A 512GB SSD can easily cost £500. There are even one terabyte SSDs, but we're not going to waste your time with their (exorbitant) prices.
Western Digital has had a best-of-both-worlds solution for many years now. The WD Velociraptor hard disks perform significantly better with their 10,000 RPM than conventional 5,400 RPM or 7,200 RPM drives. While it doesn't quite approach SSD-like performance, the price per gigabyte is much more appealing than with an SSD.
Until now the largest Velociraptor available was the 600GB version. This week Western Digital launched three new models with capacities of 250GB, 500GB and 1TB. The last one especially is very interesting, since it almost doubles the storage space of the previous top model.
The new Velociraptors should be available May 1, according to Western Digital. The new Velociraptors should be available May 1, according to Western Digital. The pricing will be around £110 for the 250GB model, £145 for the 500GB model and £220 for the 1TB model. If we focus on the top model, then the price per gigabyte is roughly a quarter of what it would cost with the cheapest SSDs.
The new Velociraptors are almost indistinguishable from their predecessors. Again we have 2.5-inch disks that can be put in 3.5in slots thanks to the IcePack adapter. The three new models all use a SATA 600 interface and come with 64MB cache. Running at 10,000 RPM combined with the high-density data of the small 2.5-inch disks ensures very good performance, according to Western Digital. Of course we will put this claim to the test! You can read rest of the Western Digital VelociRaptor 1TB previewed on Hardware.info.

'Til The Dust Is Gone
by Art of Anarchy
#stp
Scott Weiland's actual last released album was a curious one, as the lead singer of band Art of Anarchy on their debut album. In a strange circle given Weiland's connection to Slash/Duff, AoA was a hard Rock band featuring former GNR Slash replacement guitarist Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal.
Welland wrote lyrics and added vocals over completed tracks, much like the final STP album. However, after recording, doing two videos and featuring in promo materials he distanced himself from the material, calling it a side project, and then even a scam.
AoA proceeded to sue him for $20 million for breach of contract after his having been paid $230,000 to feature on and promote the record. The lawsuit was dropped on Weiland's death.
In a final weird coda, AoA replaced him with Scott Stapp, former vocalist of Creed, and similar to Weiland, another vocalist who had been criticised for sounding like Pearl Jam.
Like Weiland, Stapp's band Creed reformed without him with a different singer (Alter Bridge), a la the attempt of Stone Temple Pilots to do the same via Talk Show/Army of Anyone, with this happening after an acrimonious falling out of Creed with Stapp due to Stapp's drug (alcohol and painkiller) use and unpredictable behaviour. In another GNR connection Alter Bridge is fronted by Slash's solo band vocalist Myles Kennedy.
And then in a final strange parallel, AoA sued Stapp for $1.2 million for breach of contract for his failing to promote their second album in 2017, having paid him $200,000 for his services and promotional work.
Bizarre.

Björn Gustaf Prytz  svéd iparos volt az 1900-as évek elején, 1938 és 1946 között a svéd kormány meghatalmazott kihelyezett minisztere Londonban, diplomata, üzletember.

Prytz elindulását követően igazgatósági elnökként vezette az SKF svéd csapágy-gyártó vállalat által létrehozott és Volvo névre keresztelt autógyártó céget, közreműködött Volvo márka felépítésében, a vállalat SKF golyóscsapágyat gyártó cégcsoportból való kiválásában, és önálló működésének kialakításában. 1940-ben svéd meghatalmazottként részt vett a brit kormány tisztviselőivel folytatott nemzetközi egyeztetésekben, amelyek a náci Németországgal kötendő kompromisszumos béke lehetőségét vizsgálták.

Korai élet
Prytz anyja brit származású volt, ezért nyílt lehetősége arra, hogy fiatal kora nagy részét Londonban töltse . 1898 és 1902 között a Dulwich College-ba járt.

SKF és Volvo
1913-ban az SKF vállalatnál marketingvezető pozícióig küzdötte fel magát, majd 1921–22 körül a cég ügyvezető igazgatója lett. Björn Prytz volt a Volvo név mögött álló ember, amikor 1914 és 1918 között az SKF amerikai értékesítési részlegének ügyvezető igazgatója volt. Az ő közreműködésével jegyezték be a Volvo márkanevet védjegyként, valamint vált ki az eredeti Volvo projekt az SKF csoportból, és kezdte meg működését önálló leányvállalatként. A Volvo védjegy iránti kérelmet eredetileg azzal a szándékkal nyújtották be, hogy egy új fejlesztésű, alacsony árú golyóscsapágy bevezetésére használják fel - elsősorban az árérzékeny amerikai autóipar számára. Ezek a tervek azonban soha nem valósultak meg, és helyette az SKF nevet és emblémát használták tovább az SKF által gyártott összes csapágytípushoz a tengeren túlon is.

A Volvo neve és a cég rövid időre szinte feledésbe merült, akkor került használatba ismét, amikor az SKF alkalmazottjának, Assar Gabrielssonnak (SKF értékesítési menedzsernek) és Gustav Larson mérnöknek végül sikerült meggyőznie az SKF igazgatóságát arról, hogy az SKF-en belül kezdjenek el autókat gyártani. Az AB Volvo-t, mint autóipari vállalatot 1926. augusztus 10-én alapították egy Hoforsban tartott igazgatósági ülésen, amikor az SKF úgy döntött, hogy befektet a vállalatba, mint az SKF-csoporton belül leányvállalatbe. Ennek vezetésével Björn Gustaf Prytz menedzsert bízták meg.

"Prytz-ügy"
Az SKF vállalatnál töltött évek után diplomáciai pályára lépett, és Svédország Londonba kihelyezett képviselője lett miniszteri pozícióban. Ehhez köthető a Prytz-ügyként elhíresült eset. 1940. június 17-én Prytz megbeszélést folytatott Rab Butler brit külügyminiszterrel, amelyen megvitatták annak lehetőségét, hogy Nagy-Britannia kompromisszumos békét kössön a náci Németországgal . Prytz arról számolt be Stockholmnak, hogy Butler a Lord Halifax külügyminiszterrel folytatott konzultációt követően kijelentette: a brit politikát "a józan észnek, nem pedig a bravúrnak" kell meghatároznia, és "egy kompromisszum (béke) elérésének lehetőségét sem hagynák figyelmen kívül, ha ennek lehetősége fennállna."

Prytz még aznap táviratban számolt be a svéd kormánynak a találkozó részleteiről, amelyet a Churchill kormányzat elfogott és megfejtett. Churchill 1940. június 26-án írt Halifaxnak, és panaszkodott, hogy Butler "furcsa nyelvezete" defetizmusra utal, és megszégyeníti a brit kormányt. Butler még aznap négy oldalas, kézzel írott választ adott, és azt állította, hogy a megbeszélés ragaszkodott a hivatalos brit irányvonalhoz, és nem mondott semmi határozottat vagy konkrétat, amit vissza akarna vonni, majd felajánlotta, hogy lemond. A kialakult brit politikai krízis ellenére lemondását nem fogadták el.  Ezt követően Prytz diplomáciai téren már nem tudott a korábbiakhoz mért aktivitást felmutatni.

Huawei P30 Pro Review – Zoooom In!
By Shintu Dhang
The P30 pro is, just like the combination of Mate 20 and the P20 pro. The front resembles Mate 20 design, while the back resembles similar to P20 pro. The design feels like an aluminium body is sandwiched between the glass from both sides. Without a doubt, it looks much better than the predecessor and comes in a range of colors including Twilight which is a gradient from teal to a purple hue.
Around the front, there's a 6.3-inch Full HD+ AMOLED screen which has a similar design to the Huawei's Mate 20 pro. It has a dewdrop style notch, placing only a selfie camera, the earpiece is embedded below the display and it works perfectly. Surprisingly, Huawei decided to embed fingerprint scanner beneath the display on P30 Pro going with the trend. Previously P20 Pro had a fingerprint sensor adjusted below the display which makes the bottom bezel bit thick. There's IP67 water-resistance, but all you'll find on the bottom edge is a USB-C port, not a standard headphone socket.
With a resolution of 6.47-inch, the P30 Pro gets an AMOLED screen. It offers more vibrant colors and a little brighter. It isn't the best screen compared to Galaxy S10 which priced quite similarly. Because of the AMOLED display, you can enable the always-on option so the clock is displayed when the phone is asleep.
The P30 Pro borrows the Kirin 980 processor from the Mate 20 Pro. No surprise, then, that performance is essentially the same as the Mate 20 Pro which uses the same chipset. It is one of the fast Kirin chips, offers similar performance compared to Qualcomm Snapdragon 855. It's also backed by 8GB of RAM and 256GB of onboard storage. There is an additional option to add extra storage via nano MicroSD card. Finding a nano SD card can be quite tricky and expensive. Using this device, we didn't notice any lag and stutters even for a single time, but it does get warm while playing high intensive games like Asphalt 9 and PUBG at maxed out settings. Huawei packs its own UI, which doesn't feel premium, but you can install 3rd party launcher as per your liking. The P30 pro does come with type-C headphone inside the packaging, which is a nice touch considering the removal of 3.5mm headphone jack.
A 4,200mAh battery of P30 Pro lasted almost two days on a single charge under moderate usage. We got almost 75% battery juice in just 30 minutes with the fast charging technology. There is an another option to charge P30 Pro is by using a wireless charging, which takes a more time to fully charge compared to wired charging. One impressive feature is the wireless powershare feature which converts the P30 Pro into a Wireless charging pad and lets other wireless charging enabled device to charge from a P30 Pro.
The cameras stick out a bit, but once you put on a case that's no longer a problem. The only disadvantage of using a case is that it hides the beautiful gradient finish unless you go for a completely clear one. One of the biggest highlights of the P30 pro is the camera. This phone has a periscope style camera sensor that offers up to 10x optical zoom and 50x digital zoom. This sensor is slightly odd as it sensors sit in the sideways position. Amazingly, the main sensor is the 48MP sensor, another has a 120° wide angle lens and a DoF sensor complete the quadlet.
The P30 Pro camera sensor combines image data from the telephoto sensor and the main image sensor to produce hybrid but "lossless zoom". While it does a great job, we also noticed a little loss of sharpness as we zoomed beyond 10X. But the loss in detail was negligible if compared to other smartphones. Another major highlight of this phone has to be its low-light camera performance. The P30 pro comes with a night mode which can capture highly-detailed pictures even with a single source of light. Google Pixel 3 may be the undisputed leader in low-light imaging, but the Huawei P30 Pro does give it a competition in low l-light imaging capability. Coming to Front Camera, the P30 Pro offers a 32MP lens. The selfies from this camera are good, even in the low light environment.
Price: ₹ 71,990/-
Huawei has definitely made the best premium smartphone that excel in the camera department by being capable of capturing pictures or video which is 50 times farther from the place of capture. The phone features a design that is dominated by the impressive display and impressed us with the edge-to-edge experience. It looks great and proves to be a winner when it comes to performance. If you can spend a premium, then it is certainly a compelling flagship.

Boudu Saved From Drowning (1932)
"Even though he disgusts me, I did save his life."
A well-meaning bookseller (Charles Granval) rescues an indigent man named Boudu (Michel Simon) from drowning and brings him to his house, where his wife (Marcelle Hainia) and mistress-housekeeper (Severine Lerczinska) are both initially perturbed by Boudu's uncouth presence, but slowly seduced by his animal-like "charms".

Play Adaptations
Peary writes that this "comic tribute to Paris's bums" — directed by Jean Renoir, and based on a play by Rene Fauchois — is "not great Renoir" but remains a "perceptive social comedy" which isn't "nearly as bad as critics contended in 1967 when it received its first American release". He points out that "Simon's movements remind some of Charles Laughton", and notes how interesting it is that Boudu "is such an unsentimentalized slob — rather than the lovable tramp of the Chaplin tradition". However, while modern critics delight in the way Boudu subverts expectations by anarchically refusing to express appreciation for what he's given, he ultimately comes across as simply an annoying cipher. We learn nothing about his background, and — because he's such a lout — we care little about him or his future. In fact, this is a rare instance where I prefer the remake — Paul Mazurky's Down and Out in Beverly Hills (1986), starring Nick Nolte — to the original, given that both Nolte's character (as scripted) and performance are more nuanced. While the cinematography in Boudu… is beautiful (see stills below), this one is only must-see viewing for Renoir fans.
Lovely cinematography and framing

One Response to "Boudu Saved From Drowning (1932)"
David Csontos, on July 7th, 2016 at 5:43 pm Said:
First viewing – not must-see.
I'd known about this title for decades but, for whatever reason, never managed to get to see it. Now that I have, I don't think it stands up well as a piece of classic cinema.
What was doubtless intended as light comic entertainment (and a somewhat breezy send-up of 'guilt among the middle class') comes across as generally lethargic and strained. The premise is strong-enough but the execution limps along distressingly.
I actually think Simon's performance was needlessly indulged (i.e., when he's 'let loose' in the kitchen, it seems a bit much even for a bum).
Overall, what could easily have been a more cohesive satire appears haphazard.

"The Woman in Cabin 10" and "The Great Alone"
Posted on May 15, 2018 by Murphy, Sam & Jody
"I overheard a woman on plane telling the flight attendant she could not put this book down. The attendant agreed – and said she'd stayed up all night to read it. I had to sneak a peek! Turns out – it was THIS book, and so I am totally about to start reading it!" -Jodi
From New York Times bestselling author of the "twisty-mystery" (Vulture) novel In a Dark, Dark Wood, comes The Woman in Cabin 10, an equally suspenseful and haunting novel from Ruth Ware—this time, set at sea.
In this tightly wound, enthralling story reminiscent of Agatha Christie's works, Lo Blacklock, a journalist who writes for a travel magazine, has just been given the assignment of a lifetime: a week on a luxury cruise with only a handful of cabins. The sky is clear, the waters calm, and the veneered, select guests jovial as the exclusive cruise ship, the Aurora, begins her voyage in the picturesque North Sea. At first, Lo's stay is nothing but pleasant: the cabins are plush, the dinner parties are sparkling, and the guests are elegant. But as the week wears on, frigid winds whip the deck, gray skies fall, and Lo witnesses what she can only describe as a dark and terrifying nightmare: a woman being thrown overboard. The problem? All passengers remain accounted for—and so, the ship sails on as if nothing has happened, despite Lo's desperate attempts to convey that something (or someone) has gone terribly, terribly wrong…
With surprising twists, spine-tingling turns, and a setting that proves as uncomfortably claustrophobic as it is eerily beautiful, Ruth Ware offers up another taut and intense read in The Woman in Cabin 10—one that will leave even the most sure-footed reader restlessly uneasy long after the last page is turned.
The Great Alone:
"I LOVED The Nightingale – so I will give anything she writes a try. I've not started this one yet, but will." -Jodi
Ernt Allbright, a former POW, comes home from the Vietnam war a changed and volatile man. When he loses yet another job, he makes an impulsive decision: he will move his family north, to Alaska, where they will live off the g
rid in America's last true frontier.
Thirteen-year-old Leni, a girl coming of age in a tumultuous time, caught in the riptide of her parents' passionate, stormy relationship, dares to hope that a new land will lead to a better future for her family. She is desperate for a place to belong. Her mother, Cora, will do anything and go anywhere for the man she loves, even if means following him into the unknown.
At first, Ala
ska seems to be the answer to their prayers. In a wild, remote corner of the state, they find a fiercely independent community of strong men and even stronger women. The long, sunlit days and the generosity of the locals make up for the Allbrights' lack of preparation and dwindling resources.
But as winter approaches and darkness descends on Alaska, Ernt's fragile mental state deteriorates and the family begins to fracture. Soon the perils outside pale in comparison to threats from within. In their small cabin, covered in snow, blanketed in eighteen hours of night, Leni and her mother learn the terrible truth: they are on their own. In the wild, there is no one to save them but themselves.
In this unforgettable portrait of human frailty and resilience, Kristin Hannah reveals the indomitable character of the modern American pioneer and the spirit of a vanishing Alaska―a place of incomparable beauty and danger. The Great Alone is a daring, beautiful, stay-up-all-night story about love and loss, the fight for survival, and the wildness that lives in both man and nature

Cationic biaryl derivatives were synthesized by Suzuki–Miyaura coupling of 3-bromonaphtho[1,2-b]quinolizinium bromide with arylboronic acids. The resulting cationic biaryl derivatives exhibit pronounced fluorosolvatochromic properties. First photophysical studies in different solvents showed that the emission energy of the biaryl derivatives decreases with increasing solvent polarity. This red-shifted emission in polar solvents is explained by a charge shift (CS) in the excited state and subsequent solvent relaxation. Furthermore, the polarity of protic polar and aprotic polar solvents affects the emission energy to different extent, which indicates a major influence of hydrogen bonding on the stabilization of the ground and excited states.
Keywords: fluorescence; heterocycles; quinolizinium; solvatochromism
Dyes that change their absorption and emission properties, especially their color, in different media are considered as helpful optical probes, because they may be applied for the characterization and identification of either bulk media or microscopic environments with relatively simple spectrometric analyses [1-3]. For example, distinct solvent properties, such as hydrogen-bonding ability, polarity or polarizability can be determined even quantitatively by means of solvatochromic optical probes [4-7]. In this context, fluorosolvatochromic probes appear to be especially attractive as indicators for the surrounding medium, because emission spectroscopy is a highly sensitive method that allows to determine three different physical quantities, namely emission quantum yield, emission energy and emission lifetime. Notably, a considerable number of solvatochromic molecules is based on charge-transfer (CT) processes in the excited state resulting from a pronounced donor–acceptor interplay within the fluorophore [8]. Thus, upon excitation of such compounds, a CT – or in charged species a charge shift (CS) – takes place that results in a significantly different electron distribution of the molecule in the excited state as compared to the ground state. As a consequence, the solvent molecules reorganize to re-establish an optimal stabilization of the molecules in the excited state, which is usually referred to as solvent relaxation. Thus, the different absorption and emission energies of solvatochromic compounds may result from different energies of the ground and excited state that are caused by the different stabilizing (or destabilizing) interactions between the solvent and the solutes [9-12].
Along these lines, we established the annelated quinolizinium ion as a versatile platform for the investigation of cationic chemosensors, especially when the chromophore is incorporated within a donor–acceptor system [13]. In particular, we observed that biaryl-type quinolizinium derivatives such as 1a–f (Figure 1) exhibit fluorosolvatochromic properties that are especially pronounced with donor-substituted aryl substituents [14,15].

In contrast, simple donor-substituted benzo[b]quinolizinium derivatives only show a relatively moderate solvatochromic behavior [16,17], which implies that the biaryl structure is an important feature that supports the solvatochromic behavior, most likely as it facilitates the CS in a twisted biaryl conformation [14,15]. To explore this property of annelated aryl-substituted quinolizinium derivatives further with a main focus on the fluorosolvatochromic probes, we developed novel 3-arylnaphtho[1,2-b]quinolizinium derivatives. Firstly, we chose the naphthoquinolizinium fluorophore because it should have essentially the same ability to act as an acceptor in the photoinduced CS process as the benzo[b]quinolizinium [18]. But due to its more extended π-system it may be better suited to delocalize the radical that is formed after the CS. The quinolizinium is further attached with unsubstituted aryl substituents, because it was shown that the latter may act as electron donating units in aryl-substituted acridinium and quinolinium derivatives [19-25]. We refrained from using additional donor functionalities such as the amino group, because we observed in a previous work that these substituents cause significant fluorescence quenching and lead to only weakly fluorescent derivatives [14]. Herein, we report the synthesis of novel 3-arylnaphtho[1,2-b]quinolizinium derivatives and demonstrate that some of these compounds have fluorosolvatochromic properties.
The 3-arylnaphtho[1,2-b]quinolizinium derivatives 6a–e were prepared by Suzuki–Miyaura coupling reactions with the 3-bromonaphtho[1,2-b]quinolizinium bromide (4). The latter was synthesized from the known 2-bromo-6-(bromomethyl)naphthalene (2) which was prepared in two steps according to published procedures [26] from commercially available methyl 6-bromo-2-naphthoate. The reaction of the (bromomethyl)naphthalene 2 with (1,3-dioxolan-2-yl)pyridine yielded the N-benzylpyridinium derivative 3 and the subsequent cyclodehydration [27] in refluxing HBr (w = 48%) gave the bromonaphtho[1,2-b]quinolizinium 4 in 57% overall yield (Scheme 1).

The Suzuki–Miyaura coupling reactions of 3-bromonaphthoquinolizinium derivative 4 with the arylboronic acids 5a–e were performed under reaction conditions optimized for quinolizinium derivatives [28] with Pd(PPh3)2Cl2 or Pd(dppf)2Cl2·CH2Cl2 as catalyst and KF as mild base to give the respective aryl-substituted naphthoquinolizinium derivatives 6a–e in 17–49% yield (Scheme 2). The structures of the new compounds 3, 4 and 6a–e were confirmed by NMR spectroscopic analysis (1H, 13C, COSY, HSQC, HMBC), mass-spectrometric data and elemental analysis.

Absorption and emission properties
The 3-arylnaphthoquinolizinium derivatives 6a–e are moderately soluble in protic polar and aprotic polar solvents and show the characteristic long-wavelength absorption band of the parent naphtho[1,2-b]quinolizinium [29] with two local maxima between 380 and 420 nm. The shifts of the absorption maxima of these compounds are almost independent from the solvent. For example, the long-wavelength absorption maximum of the phenyl-substituted derivative 6a ranges from 407 nm in MeOH to 414 nm in CHCl3 (Table 1, Figure 2). As an exception, the absorption band of derivative 6e in dimethoxyethane (DME) is significantly red-shifted (λabs = 438 nm). Notably, all compounds have particularly low extinction coefficients in H2O.

All derivatives 6a–e are fluorescent. The emission maxima of the phenyl-substituted derivatives 6a and 6b deviate just slightly in different solvents (6a: 421–428 nm; 6b: 455–471 nm). In contrast, the long-wavelength emission maxima of the naphthyl-substituted derivatives 6c and 6d vary, for instance, from 473 nm or 470 nm in CHCl3 to 559 nm or 538 in DMSO, respectively (Table 1, Figure 3A–D). Derivative 6e is also fluorosolvatochromic, whereas the emission band is red-shifted by 78 nm from CHCl3 (λfl = 485 nm) to MeCN (λfl = 563 nm) (Figure 3D, Figure 4). Moreover, 6e exhibits the highest Stokes shift in MeCN (Δλ = 63 000 cm−1). Unfortunately, the emission properties of 6a–d in THF could not be determined due the very low solubility in this solvent. Derivate 6e was moderately soluble in THF; however, it was not possible to record reproducible absorption and emission spectra due to slow partial decomposition of the compound in this solvent. For the derivatives 6a–d the quantum yields were the highest in MeOH and the lowest in CHCl3. The phenanthrenyl-substituted derivative 6e exhibits the highest fluorescence quantum yields in 2-PrOH and 1-BuOH (ΦF = 0.34) and the lowest in CHCl3 (ΦF = 0.071).

In most of the tested solvents the absorption maxima of the biaryl derivatives are only slightly red-shifted relative to the ones of the parent naphthoquinolizinium ion (e.g., λabs = 403 nm in MeOH) [32]. In the chloroalkane solvents CH2Cl2 and CHCl3 the red shift is, however, slightly more pronounced, which is commonly observed for cationic dyes and explained with the high polarizability of these solvents [33,34]. Furthermore, the derivative 6e has a significantly red-shifted absorption in dimethoxyethane. Apart from these exceptional cases, however, the absorption properties depend only marginally on the solvent properties, such as the parent compound. This behavior indicates that the initial absorption does not contain a significant contribution of a charge-shift component and almost exclusively leads to the first local excited state (LE). The low extinction coefficients of all derivatives in water suggested aggregation in this solvent, as for example reported for 9-(4-dimethylaminophenyl)benzo[b]quinolizinium in aqueous solution [14]. Though, exemplary control experiments with derivative 6c showed that the absorption of this compound depends linearly on the concentration (cf. Supporting Information File 1), which contradicts aggregation. Furthermore, the absorption band of 6c is essentially maintained with increasing concentration. This behavior also indicates the absence of aggregates as the latter are characterized by the formation of red- or blue-shifted absorption bands or shoulders [35,36].
The emission properties of the phenyl-substituted compound 6a are also essentially independent of the solvent and resemble the fluorescence spectra of the parent naphthoquinolizinium (e.g., λF = 420 nm in MeOH) [34], which indicates emission from the LE state without specific stabilization or destabilization of the excited molecule after solvent relaxation. In contrast, the biaryl derivatives 6b–e have significantly red-shifted emission bands, especially in more polar solvents. Notably, this effect is more pronounced with increasing ring size and for that matter with the electron-donating ability of the substituent (tolyl < naphthyl ≈ phenanthryl). Such a red shift of the emission bands was already observed for acridinium- and benzo[b]quinolizinium-containing biaryl derivatives and shown to result from a photoinduced electron transfer from the electron-donating aryl unit to the excited cationic hetarene, thus leading to a charge shift (CS) in the excited state [19-25]. Thus, the results of the absorption and steady-state emission experiments of compounds 6b–e, along with literature precedence, point to an initial excitation of the ground state molecule to the LE state, followed by a charge shift (CS) to generate an intermediate excited species, that is a combination of charge neutral radical, i.e., a quinolizinyl radical, and the radical cation of the aromatic substituent (Scheme 3). The proposed photoinduced charge shift in derivatives 6b–e is supported by observations that even the intermolecular electron transfer reactions between electron rich aromatic compounds, such as naphthalene and phenanthrene, and the excited benzo[b]quinolizinium fluorophore were shown to be efficient processes [37].

The biaryl derivatives 6b–e exhibit fluorosolvatochromism that is characteristic of donor–acceptor dyes, namely a cumulative red shift of the emission maximum with increasing solvent polarity, along with a broad, unstructured band structure [1,2]. To assess the effect of the solvent on the emission of compound 6e several different solvents were employed. Unfortunately, many solvents – mainly less polar or non-polar – could not be used because of the limited solubility of the analyte. Remarkably, neither the emission maxima, nor the Stokes shifts correlate well with common solvent parameters, such as the hydrogen bond (HB) donating properties, α, HB accepting properties, β, the Taft parameter π*, the dipole moment, μ, the acidity, SA, the basicity, SB, the dipolarity and polarizability SPP, the polarizability, SP, or the dipolarity SDP (cf. Supporting Information File 1). In all cases, the plots of the solvent parameters versus the emission energy do not disclose an obvious relationship. This behavior is in agreement with that of other donor–acceptor biaryl-type dyes, such as for example para-hetaryl-substituted benzophenone derivatives, whose emission properties were demonstrated to depend on a complex interplay of different solvent parameters [38]. Unfortunately, the limited solubility of the derivatives 6b–e did not permit to employ a large series of solvents that is required for such a multiparameter analysis of these compounds. Nevertheless, the separation of the solvents into protic and aprotic solvents reveals at least a general trend of the solvent effect on the emission properties of 6e. Namely, the emission maxima shift to lower energy with increasing polarity of the aprotic solvents (Figure 5). This qualitative relationship denotes a larger dipole moment of the molecule in the excited state than in the ground state, as usually observed in donor–acceptor dyes [3]. However, the linear regression analysis of a plot of the emission energy versus solvent polarity, as quantified by the ET(30) value, did not produce a good correlation, which indicates that solvent properties other than the polarity also contribute to some extent to the stabilization or destabilization of the ground and/or excited state of 6e.
Figure 5: Plot of the emission energy of 6e versus the solvent polarity parameter ET(30).
Of special note are the different emission properties of 6e in protic and aprotic polar solvents (Figure 5). In particular, these two classes of solvents differ in their hydrogen bond (H-bond) donating properties. The latter usually stabilize negative polarized or charged species, which is most likely the bromide counter ion in the case of the salt 6e. In fact, the fate of the counter ion during the photoinduced CS in cationic biaryl derivatives was already discussed [24,39]. Specifically, it was proposed that after the CS, and likely during solvent relaxation, the counter anion migrates to the radical cation unit at the aryl substituent. At the same time, this mechanism implies that directly after the "back CS" the bromide anion is still located in the vicinity of the aryl substituent and therefore no longer compensated by a nearby cationic charge before it moves back to the cationic hetarene in a subsequent relaxation process (Scheme 4). In protic solvents, the bromide ion is still stabilized by H-bonding. In contrast, in aprotic polar solvents the anion cannot be stabilized sufficiently which leads to an increased energy of this state. As a result the emission from the CS state in aprotic solvents has a lower energy and exhibits an emission maximum that is red-shifted relative to the emission in protic solvents.

Unfortunately, these results did not enable a quantitative assessment of the solvent parameters that govern the steady-state emission energy of biaryl-type quinolizinium derivatives 6a–e; but the most relevant solvent properties were identified that cause the fluorosolvatochromism of these derivatives. Interestingly, attempts to compare these results with the ones of related aryl-substituted cationic hetarenes and to draw a consistent picture of the solvatochromism of this class of compounds turned out to be rather difficult. Specifically, different cationic biaryl derivatives (Figure 6) show significantly varying trends regarding the influence of the solvent on the steady-state emission. For example, it was reported that the emission maximum of the CS emission of (benzoylamino)phenyl-10-methylacridinium (7a) is shifted to lower energy in solvents with decreasing polarity of the solvent, presumably as in this case the ground state dipole is larger than the one in the excited state [40]. In contrast, however, it was stated that there is no significant difference between the ground and excited-state dipole of the 9-mesityl-10-methylacridinium (7b), because the emission energies do not correlate with the Lippert–Mataga solvent parameter [41]. Furthermore, the 9-thienyl-10-methylacridinium (7c) is not solvatochromic at all, which was explained by a similar delocalization of the charge in the ground and excited state [21]. Overall, these results, along with ones observed in this work, clearly show that the steady-state fluorosolvatochromism of biaryl-type cationic hetarenes depends on a very fine balance of the donor–acceptor interplay in the ground and excited state, specifically the resulting delocalization of the charge. Unfortunately, detailed investigations of the steady-state solvatochromism of this class of compounds are rather scarce, so far, as most photophysical studies of 9-aryl-9-methylacridinium or 4-aryl-N-methylquinolinium have a strong emphasis on the dynamics and the charge separation in the excited state. Therefore, the work presented here may initiate investigations along these lines to further understand and fully explore the useful solvatochromic properties of this class of compounds.
Figure 6: Structures of biaryl derivatives 7a–c.
In summary, we present a new class of solvatochromic cationic biaryl derivatives whose emission properties depend strongly on the solvent properties. The synthesis of these compounds is straightforward, and variations of substrate structures should allow the synthesis of further derivatives. First photophysical studies showed that the emission energy of the biaryl derivatives 6b–e is progressively red shifted with increasing polarity of the solvent, which is explained by a charge shift in the excited state and subsequent solvent relaxation. Notably, the polarity of protic polar and aprotic polar solvents affects the emission energy to a different degree, thus denoting a major influence of hydrogen bonding on the stabilization of the ground and excited states. Based on these results it is concluded that the solvent-sensitive emission properties of biaryl-type quinolizinium fluorophores are a promising structural motif for the development of novel solvatochromic probes.

The 10m speed track and weighted sled, which is brand new to Get active @Jesmond, offers a new and dynamic approach to fitness training and dedicated area ideal for sprints, sled work and bear crawls to add an extra edge to your workout.


The key lesson for knowledge workers is to simply, standardize and automate whatever you can in the way of routine parts of your life so that you can focus on the creative parts that you enjoy. In my line of work (management consulting) it's a challenge always to find creative ways to get creative people to accept standardization as part of their work. Some people are under the illusion that any semblance of order and organization in the knowledge workplace stifles creativity. Einstein may have had a messy desk, but he organized his life to keep out distractions so he could focus on his creative work. The man who said "Never memorize anything you can look up in books" at least had to organize in his head where those books were so he didn't waste time searching.
There are some funny and deep ideas in this YouTube video cleverly built from a photo of Einstein at a chalkboard and images of his words overlaid in series, accompanied by Mozart. There is wisdom, humor and humility here.
If L is success in life, then L equals x plus y plus z. Work is x, y is play, and z is keeping your mouth shut.
How true. I've worked quite a bit. Time to shut my mouth and go play a little.


Rodan Builders Inc. was contracted to complete a 1000+ item punch list that was left after the previous general contractor was removed from the project. There were 16 separate task orders representing every aspect of construction from refurbishing the Terrazzo concrete floors to tightening screws. Due to the issues with the previous contractor Rodan had to work extremely hard to gain the trust of the project team from the city, but by the end of the project the relationship between Rodan and the City of San Jose had grown to a point of mutual respect and trust that allowed the project be delivered on time for its grand opening in September.

MFA Oil Announces $10 Million in Cash Returns to Owners, Reports 2020 Fiscal Results
MFA Oil Company, a farmer-owned energy supply cooperative, has declared it will pay more than $10 million in cash to its members in exchange for doing business with the company.
The announcement was made during the cooperative's 91st Annual Delegate Meeting on December 14, which was held virtually for the first time in the company's history due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The company's 741 delegates were invited to watch a pre-taped video report where MFA Oil Chief Financial Officer Jeff Raetz reported $36 million in net income before taxes for the fiscal year that ended on Aug. 31, 2020.
The cash payout to MFA Oil members includes $4.8 million in qualified patronage for the company's 2020 fiscal year and retirement of $5.5 million in member equities from 2007.
MFA Oil members are eligible to receive patronage dividends based on a percentage of the total money they spend on gasoline, diesel, propane and lubricants purchased through the company's refined fuel and propane plants, as well as at Petro-Card 24 stations.
In addition to the cash distribution, the company announced $3.2 million in qualified patronage and $6.3 million in non-qualified patronage would be distributed to its membership in the form of equity.
"While 2020 has been a bizarre year for most people, it's been an extraordinary year for our cooperative," MFA Oil President and CEO Jon Ihler stated during the meeting's pre-taped video report. "I'm proud of the way our employees were able to adapt to the pandemic's challenges while continuing to provide the essential services our customers and the communities we serve count on us to deliver."
Results of the elections for three seats on the MFA Oil Board of Directors were also announced. Delegates from the company's northeast, southeast and east central districts cast their ballots by mail to re-elect incumbent directors Monte Fisher of Brashear, Mo.; Marion Kertz of Ste. Genevieve, Mo; and Tony Dameron of Vandalia, Mo.; to new three-year terms.

«The Twisted World of Marge Simpson» () — одиннадцатый эпизод восьмого сезона мультсериала «Симпсоны». Впервые вышел в эфир 19 января 1997 года.

Сюжет
Однажды члены клуба «Женщины-Инвесторы Спрингфилда» (Эдна Крабаппл, Мод Фландерс, Хелен Лавджой, Агнесс Скиннер, Луан Ван Хутен и Мардж Симпсон) собрались на встречу в кафе. Команда решает инвестировать деньги во что-нибудь рискованное, а когда Мардж пытается отговорить подруг от риска, её единогласно исключают из общества. Дома дети уговаривают Мардж рискнуть и пойти на ярмарку «рискованных» дел. Там она встречается с Женщинами-Инвесторами, которые остановили свой выбор на «Пита-Флотилии». А Мардж, в свою очередь, покупает дело «Сушек».

Поначалу дело неплохо продвигается, но позже «Сушки» Мардж начинают конкурировать с «Пита-Флотилией» Женщин-Инвесторов и превосходство явно не на стороне Мардж. Мардж пытается продавать сушки на стадионе, но из-за яростной публики, разозлённой тем, что мистер Бёрнс выиграл очередной автомобиль Pontiac Trans Sport, все сушки стали метательными снарядами по мистеру Бёрнсу (а также игроку Уайти Форду, случайно попавшему под обстрел).

Гомер решает помочь Мардж и находит продавца «Сушек», но выясняется, что тот скончался. Единственное, что пришло на ум Гомеру - договориться со спрингфилдской мафией. Дела идут всё лучше и лучше, ведь мафия устраняет всех конкурентов, начиная с хот-догов Ганса Молмана и заканчивая «Пита-Флотилией» Женщин-Инвесторов. Но приходит время платить долги Жирному Тони, на что Гомер отвечает отказом. Тогда Мафия заставляет Мардж заплатить им все деньги или она пожалеет. Мардж злится на Гомера за то, что тот обратился к мафии, но Гомер объяснил ей, что слишком хотел ей помочь. На следующий день мафия возвращается и пытается вытрясти из Мардж деньги. Но тут, к счастью, приходят Женщины-Инвесторы. Они решили пойти тем же путём, что и Гомер, и наняли банду якудзы из пятерых человек. Между мафией и якудзой начинается драка. Гомер и Мардж уходят в дом, хотя Гомеру было очень любопытно, как кончится разборка.

Malaysia's Proton Holdings announced at the weekend it has already pre-sold over 5,000 units of its new X70, just a week after it opened the order book for the model.
The final Geely group brand to have its current future passenger vehicles assessed is Proton. Due to unremarkable cars, a home nation where the annual market remains well below three quarters of a million vehicles and poor marketing in the few countries it has tried to export to, the formerly state-run firm is a lacklustre operation. Could a cash infusion and a management shake-up transform the firm?
Malaysia's Proton Holdings has resumed exports to markets in the Middle East, with a shipment of 450 cars destined for the Jordanian city of Aqaba having left Port Klang this week.
Newly elected Malaysian prime minister Mahathir Mohamad said his office would explore opportunities to establish a new national car project in his country.
Proton Holdings' current CEO Datuk Ahmad Fuaad Kenali will step down from his post at the end of September, parent company DRB-Hicom announced in a formal statement to the Malaysian stock exchange.
Malaysian automaker Proton plans to launch its first passenger vehicle based on a Geely model in early 2019 at the latest, according to local reports citing international trade and industry minister Datuk Seri Ong Ka Chuan.
DRB-Hicom Berhad has signed an agreement for China's Zhejiang Geely Holding Group (ZGH) to take a 49.9% equity in Malaysian carmaker Proton Holdings Berhad (Proton). DRB also sold its entire stake in Lotus Advance Technology to ZGH and Etika Automotive. The signing came 30 days after both parties signed a heads of agreement on the deal in Putrajaya.
Proton Holdings has rolled out its Proton Iriz model, which was earlier displayed at the DRB-HICOM Autofest last month.
Zhejiang Geely says it has reached a binding heads of agreement with Proton owner DRB-Hicom to acquire the Malaysia-based automotive group.
China's Zhejiang Geely Holding Group has decided to withdraw its bid to acquire Malaysia's first national carmaker Proton, according to reports in China.
Shares of Malaysia's DRB-Hicom fell sharply in late trading on Friday as investors reacted to news that Chinese carmaker Zhejiang Geely Holding Group is re-evaluating its recent bid for Proton Holdings.
PSA Group and China's Zhejiang Geely Holding Group have reportedly submitted bids to buy a stake in loss-making Proton.
Shares in Proton Holding's main shareholder, DRB-Hicom Bhd, rose to a three-month high last week as speculation mounted that China's Geely Automobile Holdings is the front-runner to take control of Malaysia's first national car company.
Proton Holdings, Malaysia's privately-owned first national car company, is expected to sign a new strategic partnership with a foreign vehicle manufacturer at the end of March 2017, a government official told local reporters this week.

Krishna (Fictional Character): Arjuna, just festival of "Dasara" has been celebrated. In this cruel Ravana was burnt. The rate of interest charged by service tax department from 1st October 2014 is like Ravana. Further financial budget there are various changes in service tax provisions.
Arjuna: Krishna, What are the changes in rate of interest of service tax?
Krishna: Arjuna, if any tax is paid after due date then interest is required to be paid. In various acts rate of interest is mentioned. In service tax before 1st October 2014 if service tax was paid late then interest @18% p.a. was required to be paid. However from 1st October 2014 rate of interest has been increased by the department. Depending upon the period of delay rate of interest has been increased. If there is delay in paying service tax of 6 months then rate of interest is 18% p.a., if delay is between 6 months to 1 year then rate of interest is 24% p.a. and if delay is more than a year then rate of interest @ 30% will be levied. For e.g. if service tax is due for payment on 5th October 2014 and it is paid on 5th November 2015 then for delay of 13 months interest will have to be paid @18% for first six months then @24% for next six months and @30% for one month will be required to be paid.
Arjuna: Krishna, It means government is collecting heavy interest from the taxpayers. What are the other changes in service tax provisions?
In the provisions of Reverse Charges Mechanism the due date for payment is when the payment for services received is made or the date after three months from the invoice date is considered. Previous it was six months.
All service tax payers are compulsorily required to make e payment from 1st October 2014.
From 1st September the service tax payer can avail credit of service tax in six months only.

Government should bring provisions after considering side of taxpayer. Further taxpayer should make proper planning for payment of taxes, so that interest will not be required to be paid. In life if some things are delayed then they troubles. For e.g. medication, government taxes. Nowonwards service tax will have to be paid regularly.


Having Bill de Blasio in charge of city schools is just fine with the teachers' union and its allies.
The dog that didn't bark during Albany's recently concluded budget negotiations was the question of who is to run New York City's $34 billion public education cartel, a.k.a. the Department of Education. The perennially contentious matter of mayoral control of city schools slipped barely noticed through the process, and Bill de Blasio quietly retained custody of the sprawling system for the remainder of his term.
So the education of New York City's 1.1 million children remains in the hands of the distracted and increasingly bewildered de Blasio and his schools chancellor Richard Carranza, now beginning his second year in the job. This is as it should be: the schools are properly under the mayor's purview, and just because the incumbent is ineffective doesn't mean that his successor will be, too. Still, de Blasio has certainly been ineffective, in part because he has ceded so much power to the special interests that mayoral control was meant to marginalize—the United Federation of Teachers, so-called community-empowerment groups, and numberless bureaucrats, both in the city and in Albany. All are deeply committed to goals that only coincidentally involve children.
When former mayor Michael Bloomberg moved in 2002 to pry the schools away from the unaccountable bureaucracy that had controlled them for generations, the UFT and its allies were high-decibel opponents of the proposal. Bloomberg won control, though the enabling legislation contained sunset clauses that required periodic renewals of the law; in the event, these proved equally contentious. This year, the usual suspects were mute. Why? Largely because there was no point in fighting. Opponents may not have regained effective direct control of the schools, but they have long enjoyed inordinate influence over de Blasio—and that's basically the same thing.
De Blasio's predecessor invested enormous time, energy, and political capital in persuading the Albany legislature to approve mayoral control. He tapped the estimable Joel Klein as his first chancellor, and together they fought to rededicate the schools to the needs of children, not adults. Progress was real, if slow, and they certainly made mistakes—but the UFT and its allies hated City Hall, for good reason. The new regime was breaking rice bowls by imposing administrative and logistical accountability on the Department of Education, by demanding higher classroom-performance standards for both teachers and students, and by supporting charter schools as laboratories for innovation and reform. In short, Bloomberg and Klein fought hard to extract reasonable value for the billions that taxpayers lavish on the nation's largest public school system. But the campaign against mayoral control never really ended—it rose up again every time that renewal was on the table in Albany.
Enter de Blasio. He dropped a multibillion-dollar contract on the UFT, asking for no work-rule concessions in return. He appointed Carmen Fariña, an old school unionist, as his first chancellor, draining energy from that office. He not only withdrew City Hall support from charter schools but also became an active opponent of the experiment. He squandered hundreds of millions on a spectacularly unsuccessful effort to keep failing schools open, a key UFT objective. He acquiesced in the downgrading of objective classroom and teacher-accountability standards. And he erected all manner of shields to divert attention from the classrooms, chief among them the race obsessions of Carranza, who succeeded Fariña as chancellor. Happy days were back again—and the unions, et al., suddenly were fond of mayoral control. Or, at least, they quit fighting it.
There will be consequences, of course. Carranza's presence and New York's shifting political circumstances seem likely to obliterate what remain of traditional student-performance benchmarks—to be replaced by race- and ethnicity-driven quota outcomes. (The city's famous specialized high schools are on the chopping block, and it's not likely to stop there.) Any meaningful teacher-accountability standards are gone for the duration. And classrooms are demonstrably less safe; even UFT president Michael Mulgrew is complaining about that.
Rays of sunshine are hard to find here, but for the knowledge that de Blasio isn't forever. New York's next mayor may give children the priority they deserve and exercise the authority of the office on their behalf. You'll know that's happening if the sound of anti-mayoral control protests gets loud again. Continued silence, on the other hand, will be equally instructive.

NAPA Autoparts is the new name behind Meremere Dragway
New and significant player on the automotive and industrial parts scene, NAPA Autoparts, is now the name behind New Zealand's leading drag racing facility, the Meremere Dragway south of Auckland.
NAPA Autoparts was launched in 2020 from the amalgamation of long-established local Trade suppliers Ashdown-Ingram, Appco, Autostop, Bindons, Extreme and Sulco. There are 9 NAPA Autoparts stores now open and a strong expansion plan this year. Growing from such a rich heritage the business looked to their overseas links to provide a brand name representative of the newly combined expertise and scope – hence the NAPA Autoparts mark.
In New Zealand NAPA Autoparts' component businesses have been strong supporters of grassroots racing, combined with the new brand's long history of supporting major partnerships overseas, most notably in NASCAR, NHRA and IndyCar. It was therefore a natural step to secure the naming rights sponsorship of the popular NAPA Central Muscle Cars race series, and now to announce the naming rights partnership with Meremere, a deal which will see the track renamed the 'NAPA Auto Parts Dragway'.
Both parties will benefit from the strong links between an association with drag racing here in New Zealand and NAPA Auto Parts' long-standing partnership with the Don Schumacher Racing team and the NAPA Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat driven by the legendary Ron Capps.
Speaking at the official announcement of the naming rights deal, Tony Walker, General Manager NAPA Auto Parts said; "NAPA has a proud motorsport heritage, and we are thrilled to extend our partnership to the NAPA Autoparts Dragway. We are a business that is firmly embedded in connections to local Trade and motorsport whilst also benefitting from significant global links. We can leverage that to bring the best of international support and products to the New Zealand market. The Dragway partnership is symbolic of this global and local activity, and we look forward to sharing news and exclusive benefits with our customers in the 2021 season and beyond."
Major events still to come in this season's NAPA Auto Parts Dragway calendar include;
• March 13th National Drag Racing Championship Finals
• April 3rd Nostalgia Drags
• April 11th Meremere Track Series Finals
A full calendar of upcoming events is available on the NAPA Autoparts Dragway website at www.meremeredragway.co.nz.
