• One of the great talents of the modern musical world was Roy Orbison, who died in 1987 at age 52. Orbison's sons plan to soon release a host of previously unknown music which the multi-talented singer recorded in the years preceding his death. The sons vow these are not outtakes or junk songs, but tunes which will enhance the singer's stature rather than reduce it. Orbison, of "Oh, Pretty Woman" fame, left the earth too soon, and his fans will no doubt relish these new releases.
Over lunch the other day with friends -- all in the newspaper business -- I mentioned that I occasionally speak at writers' conferences.
I've been doing this work for a long time, almost 39 years. I've seen probably every educational fad, movement, silver bullet, innovation, reform, program and change you can think of, and then some. The flavor of the month in South Carolina is elimination of minimum standards and quality control in the name of "flexibility." This "reform" comes up every so often as the grand solution to solve all of our problems. On the surface, it's not a bad concept. But because it's rarely done with some level of measure or common sense, it usually falls on ...
Many of the most important occupations receive the smallest salaries. For example, policemen are notoriously underpaid, as are firefighters. Teachers, entrusted with children, the most valuable items for both the parents and the world, receive the least for the most. I remember my first salary to be $2,785 a year! In spite of the fact that I was certainly better looking, more energetic, idealistic and gullible enough to think all students wanted an education and bringing an "A" diploma and teaching certification, the payment was small in terms of money. However, little did I expect or anticipate that the ...
The Lugoff Fire Department (LFD) battles a barn fire Nov. 12 on Guion Drive off Lachicotte Road in Lugoff. A cold front entering the area brought wind gusts of more than 30 mph to the area, threatening to drive the flames against a nearby residence. LFD Battalion 1, Rescue 10 and Engine 10 arrived on the scene to find the large barn heavily involved in fire. The fire also spread to the yard and woods surrounding the home and threatened a neighbor's detached car garage. LFD crews immediately protected the exposed structures with three attack lines while other crews ...

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Dec 01st, 2010
Running Time: 120 Min.
Director: Uncredited
Company: Black Ice
DVD Extras: Cumshot Recap, Still Gallery(ies)
Cast: Anabelle (I), Candy Alexa, Mike Chapman, Tony Brooklyn, Kid Jamaica, Black Angelika, Aliz (I), Jasmine Black
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Interracial
It's no secret that white girls love big black cock, but you've never seen XXX interracial action like this—these eager sluts are crazy with the jungle fever! And their temperatures aren't the only thing that's rising. Watch the most well-hung Black Ice cocksmiths stuff every last stiff inch into these creamy-thighed, tight-pussied, horned up white hos!
There's no plot and not much dialogue, but plenty of teasing and screwing in this interracial release. The first scene has dark-haired and natural-boobed Anabelle admitting that she doesn't speak much English, but that doesn't stop her from doing a cute little strip tease for the camera before she crosses the room to a naked and waiting Tony Brooklyn. For the next 25 minutes or so, she proceeds to take his cock in her slit in several positions before he dumps a big load all over her face.
Most of the scenes have pretty much that same set-up: Candy Alexa strips and teases Brooklyn, who again is waiting for her on a nearby couch. (At least they use a different couch in a different room.) He then fingers her and licks her clit before she takes him in her mouth, and then eventually climbs on top of him for a little while until receiving her own facial. Black Angelika (the "star" of the DVD) gets herself naked and worked up before letting Kid Jamaica violate her pussy in a number of ways; and so on.
The scenes are all solid, and fans of interracial will enjoy it.

Creating dynamic web applications with the Google Web Toolkit
The Google Web Toolkit lets you develop complex web applications in Java and automatically converts them to AJAX apps.
Google is more than just a search engine. This vast and rapidly expanding company is also a major center for software development. Besides programs such as Google Desktop and Google Earth, the company also releases other web-based products once a quarter. While Google Mail is enjoying the limelight, new applications such as Google Reader, Google Calendar, or Google Spreadsheet have attracted very little attention. These lesser known applications share the look and feel of their more popular counterparts, and they use AJAX for quick and easy client access. Although many suspected Google had its own framework running under the hood, there was no way of knowing for sure until recently. But Google finally confirmed the suspicions at the Java One Fair in May of this year by putting the Google Web Toolkit (GWT) up for grabs as a free download [1].

The international oil shipping services provider, which paid Bretta Tanker Holdings $15.1 million in the second quarter of 2016, saw profits for the first half of 2016 slip 11.3 percent year-over-year to $153.7 million.
The Port of New York and New Jersey, which experienced the second busiest June ever for box volumes, was called by a 10,077-TEU containership at the GCT Bayonne Terminal.
The U.S. gross domestic product increased 1.2 percent in the second quarter of 2016, according to the "advance" estimate from the Department of Commerce, following a revised increase of just 0.8 percent in the first quarter.
Registration takes less than 1 minute.
The massive $5.3 billion project comes with "considerable safety concerns," which could lead to accidents and delays for shippers and higher claims for insurers, according to a new report from the London-based risk management consultancy.
PierPass, which was created by marine terminal operators in Los Angeles and Long Beach to address multi-terminal issues, noted Q2 truck turn times at both ports were faster than any other quarter during the past two years.
The measure is aimed at preventing coal from being handled at a bulk terminal planned at the former Oakland Army Base.

This place is hands down the best pizza place in Orlando. As a former New Yorker pizza is very important to me. When I meet a recent transplant who is looking for a real New York style pizza I tell them about Pisa Pizza. I have been a fan for over a decade.
Posted: 3/18/2010
Ever since I moved to Orlando Florida I have eaten at this Pisa Pizza and everytime I eat there it reminds of home New York City. I love the food and I never order pizza from anywhere else. My daughter has grown up on their food and she loves it. So whenever I am home sick I just order a pie from Pisa Pizza and a smile is brought to my face.
Keep up the good job.

NBC Says Weekday Daytime Olympic Viewership Sets a Record
Daytime weekday viewership of the London Olympics has averaged 7.1 million, a 31 percent jump from 2008 and a record for non-U.S. Summer Games, NBC Universal said.
The audience totaled 212.7 million as of Aug. 10, making it the second-most watched event in U.S. television history, NBC said in an e-mailed statement today. With the closing ceremony tonight, the London Games can surpass the 215 million viewers of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, said NBC, a unit of Comcast Corp.
"Every weekday daytime telecast from the London Olympics has topped the viewership of the comparable day in Beijing," the network said in the statement.
NBC said 5.4 million U.S. viewers watched the daytime coverage in Beijing, the fourth-best weekday audience for non-U.S. Summer Games. Barcelona ranked second in 1992 with average viewership of 5.9 million, while Seoul was third in 1988 with 5.5 million.
Primetime coverage of the Olympics averaged 31.1 million viewers in the first 16 nights, the most of any non-U.S. Summer Olympics since Montreal in 1976, according to NBC.
On Aug. 2, NBC Sports Chairman Mark Lazarus said he saw a "small chance" for a profit on the media company's coverage of the London Olympics because of larger TV audiences and higher-than-projected advertising sales.
NBC paid about $1.18 billion for U.S. TV rights to the Olympics.
Shares of Philadelphia-based Comcast rose 18 cents to $34.73 in trading on Aug. 10, and are up 47 percent this year.

Implementation of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015 - 2030
A forum and roundtable on Advancing Science and Technology in the Implementation of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030 will be held in Kuala Lumpur on Tuesday 19 July 2016. The Sendai Framework was agreed at the 3rd UN World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction in Sendai, Japan in March 2015 and endorsed by the UN General Assembly in June 2015. A key feature of the Sendai Framework, in comparison to its predecessor the Hyogo Framework of Action, is the shift of focus from managing 'disasters' to managing 'risks'. Such a shift requires a better understanding of risk in all its dimensions of hazards, exposure and vulnerability.
The events are being co-hosted by the UN Development Programme (UNDP) and the UN University International Institute for Global Health (UNU-IIGH) in collaboration with the International Council for Science Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific (ICSU ROAP) and the Malaysian Industry Government Group for High Technology (MIGHT). The aim of the forum and roundtable is to raise awareness about the value of science, technology and innovation (STI) for disaster risk reduction by engaging with key stakeholders to stimulate discussion on options to build STI capacity, as well as to identify strategic next steps. Discussants at the Forum will include Prof Rajib Shaw, the Executive Director, Integrated Research on Disaster Risk (IRDR), International Programme Office that is based in Beijing, representatives of the ASEAN Coordinating Centre for Humanitarian Assistance (AHA Centre), and representatives of national disaster management agencies in the region.The forum will include a launch event of a supplementary issue of the Asia Pacific Journal of Public Health (APJPH) comprising 6 policy relevant papers on the broad theme of capacity development in response to Global Environmental Change and Human Health: Extreme Events and Urbanization in the Asia Pacific Region. Ms Michelle Gyles-McDonnough the UN Resident Coordinator for Malaysia will open the forum and will speak on STI for the implementation of the 2030 Agenda and SDGs.
Forum on Advancing Science and Technology in the implementation of the Sendai Framework for DRR
ICSU ROAP is joining the UNU and UNDP to organize a public forum on Adavancing Science and Technology in the Implementation of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030. The Forum will be held at the Fraser Residence Kuala Lumpur starting at 9.00 a.m. Tuesday 19 July 2016. The Forum aims to raise awareness about the value of science, technology and innovation (STI) for disaster risk reduction by engaging with key stakeholders to stimulate discussion on options to build STI capacity, as well as to identify strategic next steps. The forum will include a launch event of the supplement of the Asia Pacific Journal of Public Health (APJPH) comprising 6 policy relevant papers on the broad theme of capacity development in response to Global Environmental Change and Human Health: Extreme Events and Urbanization in the Asia Pacific Region.
ICSU ROAP organised a symposium on greening of society for global sustainability that was held on 16 June 2016 in Taipei, under the auspices of the 23rd Pacific Science Congress (PSC-23). Four scientists presented their interpretations of green development in their respective countries (Mongolia and Malaysia) or research domains (urban environment and fisheries). The scientists shared their long experience in research to enhance green development and develop green societies within the context of their areas of interest. Commonalities drawn from the presentations included the:
- need to be holistic in planning and management of development so that progress in one sector such as agriculture does not destroy valued societal heritage such as cultural diversity and traditions;
- importance of choosing the appropriate/correct metrics to monitor and spur change towards sustainability in societies;
- significance of understanding the political economy of greening and of governance beyond government;
- necessity of framing better and more frequent science-policy dialogues at all levels of society; and
- importance of managing to enhance the resilience of societies and to fully account for the cumulative impacts of human activities on ecosystems.
At the end of the symposium the panel agreed inter alia that more effort must be devoted to understanding the dynamics of change and the effects of unintended consequences. The role of education in enhancing this understanding in a rapidly interconnected world was seen as a major challenge as was the need to effectively shape behaviour towards more sustainable production and consumption patterns.
The presentations during the symposium are available from the following links:

Korea launches Future Earth
Soon-Chang Yoon Chair, Organizing Committee / Vice President for External Relations, KAST addressing the Symposium
Future Earth Korea was launched in a landmark event organised by the Korean Academy of Science and Technology (KAST), in Seoul Korea on Monday 25 April 2016, on the occasion of the 25th KAST International Symposium. The theme of the Symposium was Future Earth and Sustainable Development Goals in Asia. The event was graced by several prominent leaders including the President of KAST Professor Myung-Chul Lee, the President of the International Council for Science Professor Gordon McBean, and former Korean Prime Minister Dr Duck-Soo Han who is presently the Chairman of the Board of Directors, Climate Change Center of Korea. Future Earth is the new international platform for research on global sustainability developed by the International Council for Science and its partners. The ICSU Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific (ROAP) was instrumental in the move towards the establishment of Future Earth Korea, having laid the groundwork for its development during the 5th ICSU ROAP Regional Consultation in Asia and the Pacific themed "Future Earth in Asia and the Pacific", that was held in Seoul in November 2013. In the beginning, the then Chair of ROAP's Regional Committee for Asia and the Pacific (RCAP) Dr Hong-Kum Lee, and RCAP current member Professor Jung-Hye Roe were the prime movers for the establishment of Future Earth Korea. They have both been made members of the National Committee of Future Earth Korea.The establishment of Future Earth Korea is fully supported by KAST and the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) Korea.

Universiti Malaysia Sabah launches SIMSEA research group
The Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) launched the SIMSEA Research Group on 11 March 2016. By doing so UMS joins other institutional partners in Japan, New Zealand and the Philippines in undertaking research to generate policy and community-relevant knowledge towards sustainable development in the region. SIMSEA which stands for The Sustainability Initiative in the Marginal Seas of South and East Asia is an international programme initiated by the International Council for Science Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific (ICSU ROAP) through an alliance of natural and social scientists working with development planners, managers, local communities and other sectors of society to conduct solutions oriented transdisciplinary research for global sustainability (see http://simseaasiapacific.org/). The collaboration emerged as a project designed in response to Future Earth, the newly established international platform for research on global sustainability. SIMSEA's regional office is hosted by the Marine Science Institute of the University of the Philippines in Manila. The transdiciplinary research platform has a two-pronged objective::
- Co-designing an integrative programming that would establish the sustainability of the Marginal Seas of South and East Asia, and
- Facilitating cooperation among researchers in closing the gaps in scientific knowledge, through projects and programmes, for the benefit of societies.
For the period of 2015-2020, the key research topics are as follows:
Dynamic Planet:
- coastal and marine ecosystem services sustainability, as well as the cumulative effects of extreme changes
- weather patterns particularly on humans and livelihoods.
- the relationships between rapid urbanization and marine pollution associated with changing urban and rural landscapes.
- monitoring of tipping point and resilience of marginal seas in relation to global change.
Sustainable Development
- the impacts of economic growth on socio-economic and environmental well being,
- the mechanisms to define balance, trade-offs and cultural bottom lines in resource use.
- Indicators for ocean health in different regions; and
- cultural and other determinants of unity and wise use of resources
- ecologically coherent networks of locally managed marine areas including Marine Protected Areas
- co-developing and co-learning, while fostering ocean views among planners, users and managers.

Asian perspective symposium on air pollution
The Center for Sustainability Science together with the Research Center for Environmental Changes, of the Academy in Taipei hosted a Future Earth Asian Perspective Symposium on Air Pollution that aimed to promote trans-disciplinary research collaboration. The symposium introduced to participants, Future Earth, the new international platform for research on global sustainability, and explored means to enhance research collaboration across disciplines and sectors of society, on the issue of air pollution in Asia. It was sponsored by the Ministry of Science and Technology, Executive Yuan. About forty participants from across Asia attended the symposium. Air pollution is a serious threat to health and development in Asia. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that globally in 2012, 3.7 million deaths were attributable to ambient air pollution and 4.3 million deaths to household air pollution. More information about the symposium may be obtained from the website of the Academy. At the end of the symposium several recommendations of priority research topics were made. These included the need to commission and undertake collaborative trans-boundary research programmes on air pollution in Asia especially on the characterization of aerosol composition and their effects on public health; the need to develop realistic air pollution indices and critical pollutant levels that can be applied across the region; and the need to enhance research on the socio-economic drivers of regional trans-boundary pollution. Prior to declaring the symposium closed, Academician Yuan-Tseh Lee announced the decision to organise a young scientists summer school next year, that will promote collaborative trans-disciplinary research on air pollution in Asia.

LOOK BOOK: Lucky Brand Fall 2011
Here is the brand new Fall 2011 Look Book from Lucky Brand. They have a lot of new styles and fits to choose from but they are keeping their classic look. How many of you are a fan of Lucky Brand? You can see their new looks in the gallery below. I do quite like some of the bright blue washes. You can see more styles on their website here.
LOOK BOOK: Closed Denim Women's Winter 2011
Here is the Winter 2011 Look Book for women from Closed Denim. I prefer these styles and designs to the Autumn collection, purely because I love the darker washes for the denim and I like the layering they have done. The chunky jackets and the shearling lined denim jackets are great for warmth and style. The red berry wash jeans are also the perfect shade for Winter, they remind me of Christmas and holly berries! Do you like this collection too?
LOOK BOOK: Closed Denim Men's Winter 2011
Here is the Winter 2011 Look Book for men from Closed Denim. They have a tonne of preppy style looks for the guys and skinny jeans seem to play a big part of the collection. They also have chunky knits and thick duffel coats which I love. Blazers and aviator jackets, jewel tone denim and trousers are also present. I think this is one of the best men's collections I have seen from a brand in a while. Do you like it too guys?
Kim Kardashian in JET Jeans
Kim Kardashian and her fiance Kris Humphries were seen walking together in Beverly Hills, California a couple of days ago. I wonder if Kim will be taking his surname when they tie the knot? Maybe she might keep her Kardashian name as a lot of celebrities do.
Kim was wearing her JET Jeans again with a purple cardigan and an army green coloured top. I love that Kim is always spotted out in denim, I think she might be quite high up on the Denim Diva's of 2011 list! I think the order will have changed dramatically this year, we don't even spot Rachel Bilson often anymore either! Buy JET Jeans at Blueheavenboutique.com.

Great plugin and it does "work" but a few problems:
1) The show children button does not work. If I have a post open, it does not show the categories and children for that post.
2) Unless you put in the actual entries for options in the widgets, none of the defaults work. For example, sorting will not work unless you put in ASC. If you put in the wrong term... odd things will happen. :)
3) Cannot get the post categories to work, showing the list of the posts's categories. This one is very close to working perfectly. Just fix these few issues and this is the pure winner for category arrangement.
Suggestion - some formatting options for displaying categories, e.g. to include a little button, arrow or whatever to indent the categories and make them stand out more other than just being listed. Very well done.

First, the bad news: The Squarepusher/Plaid American tour has been canceled, which means folks yearning for the sonic terrorism of Mr. Tom Jenkinson will have to wait. The good news: Stereotopia, the massive ravewhich takes over the entire Hammerstein Ballroomis still on. One wonders why the two big-shot professional companies promoting the canceled Creamfields and Mekka festivals couldn't pull them off, but young 'un Josh Isaac, the mastermind behind the gargantuan Global Bass parties, was able to keep things running as scheduled. Isaac's now defunct Global Bass events were, briefly, hot shit before too much aggression and dwindling attendance caused them to fizzle out. But with Stereotopia's massive lineup, he's about to show folks how it's done right. On the bill: techno legends Derrick May and Joey Beltram, and two members of the psychedelic house trio the Hardkiss Brothers (Gavin and Robbie); and in the drum'n'bass room, the usual unbeatable d'n'b jocks Bad Company, Ed Rush & Optical, and Moving Fusion with MC Rymetyme. Not satisfied? Turntablist fanatics get their fix via the X-Ecutioners, junkyard junglists get Ming & FS, and 2steppers get Emma Feline. And many more. Saturday @ 7, Hammerstein Ballroom, 311 W 34th, 802-9268, www.stereotopia.net.
For those who want to avoid the kiddie party, there's the five-day Sin Festival, which will delight you smarty-pants techno freaks out there. All manner of ambient, idm, minimal techno, and electro artists will be present. While the entire fest is solid stuff, featuring Machine Drum, I-Sound, Ulysses, among others, the line-up on the 25th is a jaw-dropper: live sets from the DMX Krew, those Rephlex Records electro-pop bad boys, and Mr. Velcro Fastener, whose last disc, Lucky Bastards Living Up North, fulfills your guilty early-electro pleasures; plus Exzakt, Resident Alien, X-Object, Rage, and more. Through Sunday, various venues, 718-387-7611, www.sinfestival.com.

Animal: If you really care about these issues and policies, then you'd have listened to Trump's RNC speech. Trump put Hillary in a tough spot, Obama's been a failure dealing with Russia. Putin and Russia are bullies, they have literally bullied Obama and the U.S.. Putin invaded Ukraine, stole the Crimean Peninsula, and gave Obama the big up yours. The U.S. has treaties that Obama neglected to uphold here, and NATO has been shamed for doing nothing. NATO and the U.S. standby and watch. Russia invades sovereign nations holding treaties with the U.S. and U.K. specifically written to prevent Russian invasion, Obama except talk big, setting dangerous precedent. Obama is weak in foreign policy, Clinton is inept in foreign policy, Trump alone is the only candidate who can competently lead our country.

AbstractThe Department of Energy supports the microcharacterization of materials via Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) as a core research area. This project will expand the utility of TEM by developing an environmental holder for liquid and gaseous environments. While the proposed effort will focus on gas delivery, existing proven technology will be leveraged for liquid delivery. Thus, the resulting holder will have utility for both gas and liquids, using modular components and different delivery systems. The gas system will include a capability for heating the sample to high-temperatures (1000oC), will have minimal sample drift and vibration, and will be suitable for ready modification in the user¿s laboratory. Commercial Applications and other Benefits as described by the awardee Few laboratories can afford a dedicated TEM microscope; hence the development of a practical and high performance holder of this type should permit a far greater pool of users that can participate in in situ studies. This improvement should lead to scientific advancements across multiple areas of research relevant to the DOE mission

I Love This Boots.!
The color is darker than I like, but there was the only color in my size, they look great with my jeans, I can wear a blazer and still looks neat, they are comfortable, however if you are going to be walking for a period of time they are not as practical, the sizing is very good, it leaves plenty of room for your feet,. I would totally buy a second pair in another color if my size is available.

"Her contemporary country sound is filled with emotion, attitude and passion..."
"Good singers aren't hard to find but, that's the thing, Breelan is far more than just a good singer. With leaders like Miranda and newbies like Kasey Musgraves and Breelan Angel on the horizon, for the first time in a long time, I'm starting to feel okay about the future of country music again."
"...an artist who has the potential to be the next Lambert or Womack – and those are words that just don't get thrown around everyday of the week!"
"Love that record! -- Personal Quote | Review Excerpt: "Angel can send a guy's cheatin' ass packing in a big-time weeper ("She Made Your Bed"), or sit at the bar and shoot trash-talk at the hussy across the room with lines like "honey, trash is as trash does" on "Walk of Shame." Double the twang on an average song from Kacey Musgraves' beloved Same Trailer, Different Park, and you've got Secrets' title track. Pay attention to this one."
"BREELAN ANGEL/Double Standards: "Her pert, girlish voice hardly sounds old enough to drink, fight and cuss, never mind complain about double standards for women that tell them not to. Still, it sounds sprightly and is well written.""
"'Halfway to Wasted' took us by surprise. It's professional, it's polished and is the perfect mix of music and vocals. The melody flows so well and connects perfectly with the lyrics. We look forward to playing this one!"
"Breelan's new single, 'Halfway To Wasted' is stronger than anything I have heard from her so far… and her previous work has been great!"
"After a solid debut single, Breelan takes it up another notch with 'Halfway To Wasted.' Well sung and produced. Looking forward to giving it some spins."
"Love this song! 'Halfway To Wasted' will be the one that takes Breelan to a whole new level!"
"Breelan performed a rock solid set to a packed house at House Of Blues. I look forward to working with her again in the near future."
"Breelan opened for the legendary Don Williams on June 21st at the Stafford Centre. She possesses a powerful voice and features a solid group of musicians. Breelan's presentation of original scores demonstrates a skill set beyond her vocal prowess. We are excitedly looking forward to her next appearance here." "
"On behalf of the Crosby Fair & Rodeo, I would like to say that having Breelan Angel at the Crosby Fair and Rodeo was one of the best things we did this year. Breelan put on a great show and drew a big crowd of her own fans.

7 Claims, N0 Drawings METHOD FOR PROVIDING ELECTROLUMINESCENT LIGHT FROM A POLYCYCLIC HETEROCYCLIC COMPOUND IN AN APROTIC SOLVENT UNDER ELECTRIC CURRENT This is a division, of application Ser. No. 504,1 ll filed Oct. 23, 1965, now US. Pat. No. 3,654,525, which, in turn, is a continuation-in-part of Ser. No. 382,408, filed July 13, 1964, and now abandoned.
The present invention relates to solution phase electroluminescence. It has been found, pursuant to the instant discovery, that visible electroluminescent emission may be generated by applying alternating current, at a sufficient voltage, to the electrodes, e.g., platinum, mercury, or the like, of an electrolytic cell in an inert solvent containing a fluorescent organic compound and a suitable supporting electrolyte.
Typically, dimethylformamide (DMF) solvent containing 2 X mole of rubrene as the fluorescent compound and 0.1 mole of tetrabutylammonium perchlorate as the supporting electrolyte is a system which will emit light, without any appreciable consumption of the solution components of the system as compared to prior systems, when placed in an electrolytic cell containing electrodes and 60-cycle alternating current applied to the electrodes. Visible light is emitted at or near each electrode surface as long as alternating current of sufficeint voltage is applied.
Pursuant to the instant discovery, therefore, a method of generating a useful, visible, electroluminescent emission in an electrolytic cell has been found which comprises subjecting an electrolytic cell containing at least two electrodes in a medium comprising an inert solvent, a fluorescent organic compound, and a supporting electrolyte to an alternating current at a sufficient voltage (potential) at at least one electrode to convert said fluorescent organic compound to its corresponding oxidized or reduced state, by giving up or taking on at least one electron, and said alternating current providing sufficient potential change on reversal of the alternating cycle to provide an amount of energy about sufficient to ultimately transform (regenerate) said fluorescent organic compound to its original oxidation state but in its singlet excited state. The compound rapidly returns to its ground (non-excited) state by the emission of light.
As just indicated, the fluorescent organic compound is either alternately oxidized to an oxidized state (i.e., a cation radical) in what is the anodic excursion of the applied potential and reduced to the excited state of the fluorescent organic compound in what is the cathodic excursion of the applied potential; or the fluo' rescent organic compound is reduced to a reduced state (i.e., an anion radical) in what is the cathodic excursion of the applied potential and oxidized to the excited state of the fluorescent organic compound in what is the anodic excursion of the applied potential. Fluorescent compounds which emit red light upon excitation require the least anodic or cathodic voltage excursion and, consequently, the least voltage change at an electrode to provide visible light. On the other hand, fluorescent compounds which emit blue light upon excitation require greater anodic or cathodic excursions and higher voltage change at the electrode.
The upper and lower limits of the instantaneous potential applied to the electrode required to produce light will depend on the fluorescent organic compound used. Thus either the upper limit of the applied potential must be sufficiently positiveto convert the fluorescent organic compound to an oxidized state or the lower limit of the potential applied to the electrode must be sufficiently negative to convert the fluorescent organic compound to a reduced state. Moreover, the potential difference between the upper and lower values of theinstantaneous applied potential must be at least about sufficient to provide enough energy to produce said fluorescent organic compound in its singlet excited state.
In general terms, the process described above requires only electron transfer to a cation radical or electron transfer from an anion radical in an electrolyte cell where electron transfer occurs over a sufficient potential to provide an excited state, and where the resulting excited state or a subsequently formed excited state is capable of fluorescent emission of light. The general process is described in equation (1) and (2) below where A and A refer to a cation radical and an anion radical respectively, E refers to an electron, and A refers to an excited state produced by electron transfer.
The singlet excited state of the fluorescent organic molecule may be obtained directly typically as in equation (3) or by an indirect route, typically as shown in equation (4) below.
The potential difference required by the indirect route normally is lower than that required by the direct route.
Generally, the potential difference between the upper and lower limits of the instantaneous applied voltage must exceed about 1.5 volts.
Potentials (relative to a standard electrode, such as the saturated calomel electrode,) required to oxidize or reduce organic compounds of the type contemplated herein can be easily measured by standard polarographic techniques. Cf. I. M. Kolthoff and J. J. Lingane, Polarograph, 2nd Edition, 1952, lnterscience Publishing, New York, N. Y. Likewise, minimum energy required for converting organic compounds of the type contemplated herein to their singlet excited states are easily measured by such techniques as absorption or emission spectroscopy. Cf. S. F. Mason, Molecular Electronic Absorption Spectra, Quarterly Reviews, 15, 287 (1961).
The process of the present invention has, as will be seen hereinafter, multiple uses in the fields of illumina tion, information display, etc. For instance, the electrolytic cell of Example 1, infra, is in essence a light bulb, the electrolytic cell comprising a stoppered transparent bottole having two electrodes therein, the ends of which are immersed in the fluorescent-solventelectrolyte system. If desired, the bulb-shaped cell could be relaced by a tubular, or cube-shaped cell, or by any other design desired. Likewise, multiple pairs of electrodes may be used in any given cell, each pair operating independently, if desired. Still other uses will be discussed in greater detail hereinafter.
Obviously, as indicated hereinabove, the solution system as well as the nature of the electrode determine the upper limit of the potential difference. Insofar as the frequency of the applied alternating voltage is concerned, it can range from a few cycles per minute up through the audio range and beyond.
Numerous organic fluorescent compounds are capable of yielding visible light when alternating current, at a sufficient voltage, is applied thereto pursuant to the instant discovery. Typical of these are fluorescent aromatic polycyclic hydrocarbons and polycyclic heterocyclic fluorescent compounds. Among these compounds are: 1,4-dimethoxy-antracene; l-methoxy- 9, l O-diphenyl anthracene; l ,4-dimethoxy-9,10- diphenyl anthracene; 2,3-benzofluoranthrene; anthracene; rubrene; pyrene; coronene, decacylene; B-dinaphthylene oxide; l,3-diphenylisobenzofuran (i.e., 2,7-diphenylisobenzofuran--- 1,7-phenanthroline; benzo-(l,2,3-g,h: 4,5,6-g',h)- diphenanthridine; N-methyl phenothiazine; and the like.
Other examples among these above typical compounds are: 2,7-bisdimethylaminonaphthalene (gives 3,4,6,7-tetraphenylisobenzofuran, and 2,3,4,5,6,7-hexaphenylisobenzofuran 7,7,8,8-tetraphenylquinodimethane; 9,10- diphenylanthracene; l,4,5,8-tetraphenylnaphthalene; 7,7,8,8-tetraphenylquino-dimethan l ,4-diphenyl-l ,3-butadiene; l,l ,4,4-tetraphenylbutadiene; quarterphenyl; benzophenanthranthrene (i.e., chrysene); naphthacene; coronene; decacyclene; l,2,5,6-dibenzanthracene (i.e., dinaphthanthracene); etc.
A wide variety of supporting electrolytes may be employed herein to effect the invention. It is essential that these electrolytes do not hinder to any substantial degree the necessary anodic or cathodic excursion, for instance, and thus prevent conversion of the organic fluorescent compound to its excited state. It will be recognized by the person skilled in the art that a noninterfering electrolyte for one organic fluorescent compound may interfere with another organic fluorescent compound, and vice versa. Obviously, therefore, it is within the purview of the instant discovery and within the skill of a chemist to employ an electrolyte which is compatible with an organic fluorescent compound employed. The electrolyte should likewise be electroinactiveover the potential range required for the luminescent reaction, it should provide satisfactory conductivity, and it should not quench the luminescence.
Typical suitable electrolytic cations are tetralkyl (lower) ammonium ions, alkali metal ions, alkaline earth ions, and the like. Typical anions are perchlorate ions, hexafluoroarsenate ions, hexafluoraphosphate ions, chloride ions, bromide ions, and the like. Thus, typical compounds include tetraethylammonium bromide, tetraethyl-ammonium perchlorate, tetra-n-butyl ammonium perchlorate, lithium bromide, sodium perchlorate, tetramethylammonium hexafluoroarsenate, tetrabutylammonium tetraphenyl borate, calcium perchlorate, tetrapropyl ammonium hexafluorophosphate, lithium aluminum chloride, tetrabutyl ammonium bromide, etc.
Insofar as solvents are concerned, a wide variety of these may be employed. In fact, any substantially inert organic or inorganic solvent for the organic fluorescent compound and electrolyte, which solvent is sufficiently non-protonating and irreducible to preserve the desired degree of reversibility (i.e., it should provide a lifetime of the radical ion at least equivalent to the reciprocal of the frequency employed) is satisfactory provided it is rendered conducting by the addition of an electrolyte of the type contemplated herein.
Typical solvents are the following aprotic solvents: nitriles, such as acetonitrile, sulfoxides, such as dimethylsulfoxide; ethers, such as tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, diethyl ether, dimethoxyethane, and the like; amides, such as dimethylformamide; carbonates, such as propylene carbonate; nitroalkanes, such as nitromethane; dialkyl sulfites, such as dimethylsulfite; and other like solvents.
It is not necessary that these solvents be anhydrous, since up to about lOpercent water has been present in some cases without interfering with the emission of visible light. The person skilled in the art will recognize that numerous other substantially inert organic and in- CrHs 3,816,795,v 6- organic solvents, even though not essentially or sub- (through which nitorgen has been bubbled to substanstantially aprotic, are compatible with theprocess and tially deaerate same) are introduced sufficient tetsolution system and. are substantially not fluorescence rabutylammonium perchlorate and rubrene to provide.

The examples in the above table produce a visible electroluminescent emission. In Examples I through XI, and XIII through XXXI, above, voltage is varied with respect to time as a sine wave function.
While the above table shows frequencies on the order 0.3 to 100 cycles per second, substantially higher frequencies as indicated hereinbefore may be employed. For instance, the frequencies of Examples XIII, XVII, XXI and XXVI may be changed to 500, 1000, 10,000 and 15,000, respectively, without materially modifying the electroluminescent emission.
Uses for the present invention other than those discussed hereinabove involve establishing spaced apart plates, screens or similar surfaces which act as electrodes; one or more of said surfaces may be meshed, perforated or translucent, if desired. Between these surfaces the fiuorescentsolvent-electrolyte system, preferably in a gel form, is placed and alternating current passed through the electrodes and, of course, the intervening system. Upon illumination of the electrodes visible light can be seen.
One or both of these electrodes could contain information, such as that provided by various perforations. The electrodes, should they be solid, translucent sheets, could be covered by a stencil containing information, thus only the light passing through the stencil being visible. Obviously, multiple individual electrode pairs, the electrodes being of the type just described, could be used, allowing greater flexibility in their use as information displays.
According to still another use embodiment of the present invention, a multiplicity of electrodes of any shape (e.g., straight rods, curved rods, tapered rods, etc.) may be placed on a panel and the electrodes immersed in a system (gel or solution) of the type contemplated herein, the electrodes being connected in pairs, or in any other suitable manner, to the alternating current. By controlling the current on each of these pairs various information could be produced on the panel.
As to the embodiments referred to hereinabove wherein the fluorescent-solution-electrolyte system is a gel, the following examples are typical:
EXAMPLE XXXII Example XIII, supra, is repeated in every essential respect with the exception that 30 percent by weight of polyacrylamide is dissolved in the solvent. A gel results which may be used as above indicated, such as between two electrode plates in sandwich-like fashion.
EXAMPLE XXXIII A solution of 10 percent acrylamide, 10 percent methylene-bisacrylamide, 0.5 percent a,oz-azobisisobutyronitrile, 5X10 molar rubrene, 0.1 molar tetrabutylammonium perchlorate in dimethylformamide in which is immersed two platinum electrodes is warmed at C. for several hours until polymerization is essentially complete. A semisolid gel is obtained. Application of 60-cycle alternating current at five volts provides a yellow light.
If desired, the electrolytic cell container, translucent or transparent, may be coated (e.g., exteriorly) with a fluorescent material and light emitted by the electrodes converted by means of this material to a light of a longer wavelength. The following examples are illustrative:
EXAMPLE XXXIV Example VI, above, is carried out in a glass container coated on outside with a five millimeter thick film of polystyrene containing 1 percent Rhodamine B. Red light (rather than blue) is emitted on application of alternating current.
EXAMPLE XXXV Example XXXIV is repeated only 1 percent eosin is used in lieu of Rhodamine B.
Numerous modifications will be evident from the fluorescent art. Thus, instead of an organic fluorescent dye (as in Examples XXXlV and XXXV), a crystal phosphor may be employed in the coating. Cf. P. Pringsheim, Fluorescence lnterscience Publishers, New York, 1949, Chaper Vll.
Clearly the instant discovery encompasses numerous modifications within the skill of the art. Consequently, while the present invention has been described in detail with respect to specific embodiments thereof, it is not intended that these details be construed as limitations upon the scope of the invention, except insofar as they appear in the appended claims.
