Innovative Breakthrough: A Safer Alternative to a Century-Old Explosive Reaction Unveiled by Scientists
Chemical Industry Discovers Safer Alternative to Explosive Reactions
The chemical industry has long relied on reactions involving explosive chemicals, but a recent breakthrough by scientists in Mülheim has unveiled a safer alternative. The Ritter Group at the Max Planck Institut für Kohlenforschung in Mülheim/Ruhr has recently published a paper titled ”Nitrate reduction enables safer aryldiazonium chemistry” in the prestigious journal Science.
History of Explosive Chemicals in the Chemical Industry
Throughout history, the chemical industry has witnessed numerous accidents, some fatal, due to the use of dangerous and explosive chemicals required for specific reactions. Aryldiazonium salts, utilized for over a century, fall into this category. While highly reactive and essential for producing compounds like dyes, these salts pose a significant risk due to their instability and potential for explosive reactions.
One tragic incident in 1969 at Ciba AG in Basel serves as a stark reminder of the danger

Feel Good Dessert Banana Pudding at Home
Life Style: Banana Halwa is one of those delicious sweets that brings a smile to everyone’s face. But unlike the Southern version, which includes vanilla pudding, sliced bananas, whipped cream, and vanilla wafer cookies, I’ve made a refreshing banana pudding. Yes, using real bananas in the halwa (and not just sliced in half). Many traditional banana pudding recipes call for vanilla pudding mix, whole milk, bananas, and sweetened condensed milk. I have to admit, I was hoping banana pudding actually meant banana pudding, not vanilla pudding with sliced bananas.

The least number of people have participated in the last 10-12 years. Czech multiplexes fail to impress
In the first three weeks of April, Czech multiplexes were visited by significantly fewer people than usual. This is due to fewer blockbusters due to last year’s Hollywood actors’ and writers’ strike and warm weather earlier in the month. However, fewer people go to the cinema also because the average ticket price is constantly increasing, up to 200 crowns in the case of multiplexes. The situation is better in Prague’s single-screen cinemas.
First weekend of April according to the Union of Film Distributors arrived In Czech cinemas, for the 20 most viewed films with a total of less than 70 thousand spectators, sales were less than 13.4 million crowns. One week later It came around 78 thousand people, turnover increased by half a million crowns. Last weekend already the operators they mattered over 156 thousand viewers and grossed 29.6 million crowns.
“April numbers were the lowest in the last ten to twelve years, if we don’t count the extremely low Covid numbers,” says Jan Bradáč, director of CineStar cinemas.
The weekend of April 13 and 14 was particularly weak. The ratings chart was won by the fifth installment of the American series Ghostbusters: Empire of Ice, with just 11,000 viewers. For comparison: the science fiction film Dune: Part Two, based on the novel by writer Frank Herbert, was seen by more than 121,000 viewers in its first weekend in local theaters.
“Last year’s strike left a hole in American production, which represents two-thirds of the audience. Furthermore, it was clear that the Czech segment had lost some of its breath. Films like Jedeme na teambuilding or Aristokratka va varo attack the threshold of 300,000 visitors, which is good overall, but then there is a gap we see that the public response is discontinuous, this year it will be like on a seesaw”, thinks Jan Bradáč.
The most successful film of the year in Czech cinemas so far is science fiction Duna: second part, which attracted 456,000 viewers two months after its premiere and grossed over 103 million crowns. Another Marvel sci-fi action film, Deadpool & Wolverine, which premieres on July 25, pitting Ryan Reynolds’ superhero Deadpool against Hugh Jackman’s Wolveri

Berliner Volksbühne remembers René Pollesch: Just don’t wallow in feelings
2024-04-26 14:42:19
Two months after the playwright, director and director of the Berlin Volksbühne René Pollesch died unexpectedly, “his house” is giving him his last escort. At Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz the black flags with the robber bike smiley hang at half-mast, with a banner emblazoned between them with the words “Celebrate what you love”. And here, where everyone really loved Pollesch, there is a celebration. First with dance and music in the opening act, then almost three hours on the big stage. The tickets were so popular that the side of the theater collapsed under the onslaught.
One might usually think of canonization as a formal affair. But not at the Volksbühne, where stubbornness is celebrated. René Pollesch is quickly declared to be Jesus by the choreographer Florentina Holzinger, who is naked except for a navy cap. Around her is a troop of naked sailors who pay homage to the great captain who has now disembarked. Pollesch sacrificed himself, says Holzinger, and the naked men pose for the “Last Supper.” On this unusual evening of remembrance, death is celebrated and life is celebrated.

“Everything is arranged,” says Martin Wuttke, who, in jeans, a heart shirt and a cowboy hat, is the first of the Pollesch actors to appear at this event under the title “Throw away your ego and celebrate what you love – For René”. come on stage in the evening. Floating above everyone like a disembodied creature is the dreamlike fabric monster from “The Rise and Fall of a Curtain and His Life in Between”, Pollesch’s opening production in autumn 2021 as artistic director of the Volksbühne. He celebrated his first successes at this house in the 2000s, and now he wanted to renew the theater here as director.
