Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan PP (Punjabi: نصرت فتح علی خاں, pronounced [nʊsˈɾət ˈfəte(ɦ) əliː ˈxãː]; born Pervez Fateh Ali Khan; 13 October 1948 – 16 August 1997), also known by his initials NFAK, was a Pakistani singer, songwriter, and music director. Khan was primarily a singer of qawwali, a form of Sufi devotional music. Often referred to as the "Shahenshah-e-Qawwali" (the King of Kings of Qawwali), he has been recognized as one of the 50 Great Voices by NPR and 200 Greatest Singers of All Time by Rolling Stone. The New York Times named Khan the greatest qawwali singer of his generation. Credited with introducing Qawwali music to international audiences, he was known for his vocal abilities and could perform at a high level of intensity for several hours.

Born in Lyallpur, West Punjab, Khan had his first public performance at the age of 15 at his father's chelum. He became the head of the family qawwali party in 1971 and brought his unique style of sargam, khayal, and rhythm to his family's legacy. He was signed by Oriental Star Agencies, based in Birmingham, England, in the early 1980s. Khan went on to release movie scores and albums in Europe, India, Japan, Pakistan, and the United States. He engaged in collaborations and experiments with Western artists, becoming a well-known world music artist. He toured extensively, performing in over 40 countries. In addition to popularising qawwali music, he also had a profound impact on contemporary South Asian popular music, including Pakistani pop, Indian pop, and Bollywood music. He was also a master of Hindustani classical music.

Khan had been seriously ill for several months, according to a spokesperson at his U.S. label, American Recordings. After traveling to London for treatment for liver and kidney problems, he was rushed from the airport to the Cromwell Hospital, where he died of a sudden cardiac arrest on 16 August 1997, aged 48. His body was repatriated to Faisalabad, and his funeral was a public affair. His wife, Naheed Nusrat, moved to Canada after the death of her husband, where she died on 13 September 2013 in Mississauga, Ontario. Khan's musical legacy is now carried forward by his nephews, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan and Rizwan-Muazzam.

RIP Nusrat

Intelligent drum and bass (IDB) is a subgenre of jungle and drum and bass that emphasizes the influence of jazz and ambient music.[1] Unlike other forms of drum and bass that emphasize speed or hardness, geared toward the dance floor, this subgenre focuses more on listening in more relaxed situations. Hence, it profusely uses long, dreamlike synth pads, deep sub-bass, and highly sophisticated rhythmic patterns. The jazz sound is achieved through the extensive use of instruments such as the Rhodes keyboard or flute, guitar, and wind samples. Thanks to the technique of time stretching, vocals are able to sound in time with the beat, achieving the warm and sensual effect of soul vocals. Regarding the rhythm, the "science of rhythm" has been used to refer to the reworkings that producers of the genre make of breaks.

One of the most influential figures in this style is producer and DJ LTJ Bukem, owner of the Good Looking Records label. His track "Demon's Theme," originally released in 1991, is considered one of the first in the subgenre.

The BMW S85 is a naturally aspirated V10 petrol engine which replaced the BMW S62 V8 engine in the M5 model and was produced from 2005–2009. It was both BMW's first and only production V10 engine, and the first petrol V10 engine to be available in a production sedan (saloon).

Introduced in the E60 M5, the S85 was inspired by BMW's previous Formula One involvement.[1] Unlike most other BMW M engines, the S85 is not related to a regular production BMW engine.

The BMW S65 V8 engine (used in the E92 M3) is based on the S85.

The S85 has dual overhead camshafts with four valves per cylinder and double-VANOS (variable valve timing).[4] The engine block and cylinder head are constructed from aluminum alloy.[5]

Peak power is 373 kW (500 bhp) at 7,750 rpm and peak torque is 520 N⋅m (384 lb⋅ft) at 6,100 rpm.[6] The redline is 8,250 rpm,[2] and the specific output of 74.6 kW (100.0 bhp) per litre is amongst the highest of naturally aspirated production car engines.

Features include:

Displacement of 4,999 cc (305.1 cu in)[6]

Compression ratio of 12.0:1[7]

Bore of 92 mm (3.62 in) and stroke of 75.2 mm (2.96 in)[6]

10 electronically actuated individual throttle bodies[8]

Cast aluminum block with bed plate design[9] split at the crankshaft axis

Valves actuated through non-rotating inverted bucket cam followers

Oil-cooled, cast aluminium pistons

Forged steel crankshaft with counterweights, shared crankpins producing an uneven firing interval of 90 or 54 degrees

Siemens MS S65 engine control unit

Application of an "ionic current measuring system" for knock sensing.[10] The ionic current system uses a low voltage applied across the spark plugs immediately following the ignition spark, and can detect misfires as well as pre-ignition ("knocking").

Quasi-dry sump lubricating system where the engine has 2 oil sumps that hold oil, and oil pickup is enhanced by secondary electrical scavenge pumps that feed oil from the smaller sump to the main sump[11]

Firing order of 1-6-5-10-2-7-3-8-4-9

Mass of 240 kg (529 lb)[12]
