ExecuJet’s MRO facility in Lagos has entered a strategic alliance for maintenance services with local operator Izy Air, based in Abuja, Nigeria.
The partnership is part of ExecuJet’s ongoing development plan in West Africa. The company aims to support the growth of business aviation movements in the region with the provision of OEM and avionics maintenance services.
ExecuJet’s customers will now benefit from preferential rates and extensive MRO offerings, with support now being offered in Abuja.
Gavin Kiggen, vice president for Africa at ExecuJet, said, “Our MRO facility in Lagos is going from strength to strength, and the run of investments we have seen over the past year has succeeded in making ExecuJet the go-to maintenance provider in the region.
“Thanks to this new agreement with local operator Izy Air, we look forward to extending our competitive pricing, quality service and unsurpassed safety standards to an ever-growing number of customers.”
Alex Izinyon II, president at Izy Air, said, “We are delighted to announce the strategic alliance between Izy Air and ExecuJet.
“Through this alliance, Izy Air will continue to offer its world class charter and management services with the support of the ExecuJet team in aircraft maintenance services. The building of this symbiotic relationship will allow us to better serve our clients in the region.”

The New York Giants quarterback didn't shy away when, as a Tuesday guest on "The Michael Kay Show" on ESPN New York 1050, he was asked if he is in the same class as three-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady.
"I consider myself in that class," said Manning, the MVP of Super Bowl XLII. "Tom Brady is a great quarterback, he's a great player and what you've seen with him is he's gotten better every year. He started off winning championships and I think he's a better quarterback now than what he was, in all honesty, when he was winning those championships.
"I think now he's grown up and gotten better every year and that's what I'm trying to do. I kind of hope these next seven years of my quarterback days are my best."
While Manning is regarded as a very good quarterback by many -- he has led the Giants to the playoffs in four of his seven seasons as the full-time starter -- there is often hesitation to place him among the elite in the game. Manning was fifth in the league in passing yards (4,002) and fourth in touchdown passes (31) last season, but his 25 interceptions is the number that jumps out the most

Date Announced: 20 Aug 2009 Screaming Signs, a division of Big Dog Marketing Group, inc., has been selling LED signs directly to small and medium businesses in the New York Metro area, since 2008. Originally, its LED signs line was limited to six basic models ranging in size from 15 x 40 inches to 22 x 117 inches. Due to marketing efforts of President and CEO, Jim Crapanzano, its recently launched web site has been a huge success. It has also afforded the company opportunities to break into the Big Sign business with bill-board projects currently under way in Indiana and Oklahoma. "I'm an old-school sales guy,” says Jim, “so when I started this business, I used the old-school methods; face to face direct sales. It never really occurred to me that I could sell nationally on the web. Now we’re talking to people and selling signs across the country, while building a network of installation and service people.” Jim went on to explain that the impetus to go national came from his daughter, Meagan, a 3rd year communications major at a local university. “We always had a web site,” Jim said, “but its purpose was limited to supporting our outside sales reps. Frankly, I didn’t believe that we could sell big ticket items on the internet. I was flabbergasted, when we got an order from Green Bay, WI, for a $3,300 sign on just the third day after launch. Now, with the new site, we have expanded to over 20 stock items, and custom builds. And since we don’t have to pay commissions, we were actually able to reduce our prices across the board. Next we plan to take a serious look at LED lighting solutions.”Visit Screaming Signs™ at http://www.ScreamingSigns.netInquires are welcome from potential Dealers, Manufacturers, and Suppliers.

Good Samaritans stopped a 26-year-old woman Thursday afternoon as she poured gasoline on the Atlanta birth home of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. and tried to burn it down.
Two tourists from Utah and two off-duty New York police officers were among the witnesses who quickly stepped up until Atlanta officers could arrive on scene, according to WANF.
“Their quick action saved the jewel of our city, something very important to Atlanta,” Police Chief Darin Schierbaum said.
Laneisha Shantrice Henderson has been charged with criminal attempt to commit arson and interference with government property.
Zach Kempf recorded the woman pouring liquid from a red can on the 128-year-old home’s front porch. When he saw her pick up a lighter, he said, he took action.
“I stood at the stairs and said, ‘You can’t do this,’ and blocked her for about a minute,” Kempf said.
Henderson began to walk away, Kempf said, and the two off-duty officers from New York held her down.
“If the witnesses hadn’t been here and interrupted what she was doing, I mean, it could’ve been a matter of seconds before the house was engulfed in flames,” Atlanta Fire Department Batallion Chief Jerry DeBerry said.
King’s birth home, just up the street from the King Center for Nonviolent Social Change and Ebenezer Baptist Church, where King served until his 1968 assassination, was obtained by the National Park Service in 2018 and has been closed for extensive renovations since November. It is scheduled to reopen in 2025.
The King Center released a statement thanking “the brave intervention of good Samaritans and the quick response of law enforcement.”
“Our prayers are with the individual who allegedly committed this criminal act,” the center said.
Police have not said if Henderson provided a motive.

Well as the title said it, I had a half avocado, some sliced strawberries, and one slice of toast with vegan butter and some jelly.
Simple, delicious, and nutritious.
Today for lunch we went to The Daily Bread, a Mediterranean place in a food court of one of our malls. Not fancy, inexpensive, but very yummy.
I had the Falafel Platter, which comes with 4 falafel balls, a pita bread cut into 4 pieces, and 2 sides. For my sides, I had the lentils with rice and the taboule salad. My boyfriend had the Falafel Platter but he had the hummus and the tabule salad. He also had some fries with his order.
All in all it was very delicious.
The original recipe was taken from the site: http://hellyeahitsvegan.com/chocolate-chip-cookies/
I love that site! They have awesome vegan recipes and they’re all very easy to make. Even though I started with the original recipe, I have added a few ingredients of my own. This is my edited recipe.
The batch you see in the pictures is half this recipe.
Preheat to 350 degrees.
For the full batch – about 6-10 cookies, you’ll need:
– 1 c brown sugar (I use light brown but you can also dark)
– ¼ c Agave Grade A Dark Amber Maple Syrup
– ½ c of coconut oil or grape seed oil
– ¼ c sweetened or unsweetened applesauce (I have found it makes no difference)
– 1 tsp vanilla
– 2 c of whole wheat or all purpose flour (whatever your preference)
– ½ tsp baking soda or baking powder (either will work)
– ½ tsp salt
– dash nutmeg
– Chocolate chips – I bought vegan chocolate chip cookies at my neighbor whole foods.
– Butter flavor pan greaser (It’s actually vegan)
It took me many tries to get them right, so don’t be discouraged. It helps to flatten the dough when you’re placing it on the baking sheet for a thinner cookie. Don’t fret! Let me know if you need advice!!!
Today I had a really great lunch!
I started with a Gardein Chipotle Black Bean Burger, it is made with black bean, corn, and other veggies, lettuce, avocado, refried beans, and white rice.
Most of the things that I make do not require actual cooking, no one has time for that. I opened a can of refried beans, I used instant rice, I heated the veggie patty, and I had an avocado I peeled and added. I also added some Daiya cheese to the salad and some (you guessed it!) ginger dressing. It was really good!
Maybe this isn’t a big deal at all but I added some rum extract to my coffee today!
I made coffee like everyday (I have a Kcup coffee maker), poured it over ice (to make it ice coffee), added some coconut milk, added splenda, and then a squirt of rum mix. It was delicious and it hinted of rum. Not bad for a picker upper mid afternoon coffee treat!
Brought to you by Gigi!
You’ll need for 2 people:
– 1 sweet potato
– 1/2 chopped onion
– Canned beets
– Canned cut carrots
– 2 tbs Olive oil
– Salt to taste
– Some minced garlic to taste
– I added some mushrooms. I like mushrooms.
Go ahead and mix everything together in a baking pan and bake at 400 degrees for 50 minutes.
The chik’n comes frozen, so go ahead and stove top cook it in some olive oil until fully cooked.
We order chinese place from a local chinese restaurant and they have very delicious tofu. We usually order the General Tso Bean Curd. The sauce is sweet and tangy, the broccoli is fresh, and the rice is great with it. We also got the spring vegetable rolls but I didn’t take a picture of them. Always remember to look at the vegetarian section of the chinese food menu and request tofu instead of chicken. Sometimes they do it, sometimes you have to insist, and sometimes you have to go with what they have…but there will always be something to eat!

By Onome Amuge
Sunday Thomas, Commissioner for Insurance and chief executive officer, National Insurance Commission (NAICOM) has expressed displeasure that most losses arising from the pandemic were not adequately covered by existing insurance policies.
As a result, he suggested a review of conventional insurance products to upscale a new value proposition for the Nigerian insurance industry as current insurance product offerings have proven inadequate to respond to emergent risks and needs of the society.
Thomas who made this disclosure while speaking at the Chartered Insurance Institute of Nigeria’s (CIIN) 2020 insurance professionals forum, noted that the recent outbreak of protests and civil unrest across the country and the resultant losses have created further socio-economic hardship and barriers for business profitability and growth, which have exposed the vulnerability of government, businesses and individuals to unforeseen events.
The NAICOM boss also stressed that the suddenness of the covid-19 pandemic imposed immense pressure on all businesses including insurance business. Pressures faced by consumers in the form of reduced finance and business activities, lack of access to credit, expiration and wastage of perishable goods, temporary or permanent business closures and employee contract terminations, life threatening illnesses and deaths all combined to increase the propensity for claims.
He explained that these incidents have further reinforced the value and necessity of insurance and the industry cannot continue to ignore the impact of unforeseen events on individuals, businesses, and the insurance industry as a whole.
Stating his position on the way forward, Thomas suggested the need for proper underwriting to ensure insurers are able to settle corresponding claims obligations to cushion the effect of losses on Nigerian households and businesses.
He also charged the insurance industry to utilise the opportunity to lead in the quick recovery and restoration of the affected businesses and also showcase its role in reinforcing the economic resilience of individuals, businesses and the economy at large.

The compact executive sedan is due for a nip-and-tuck.
It feels like the G20 generation of the BMW 3 Series was launched just the other day, but the Bavarian brand is already preparing a set of updates for its compact executive sedan. The enhanced range is expected to enter the production line in July of this year with an official reveal of the highlights to take place in the coming months.
According to information sourced by BMWBlog, the updated sedan and wagon will be available for the next three years until they are replaced by the Neue Klasse-generation models, which have been put together with electrification in mind. Updates to the design are expected to be mild while the cabin will benefit from more futuristic touches.
It has been suggested that the updated 3 Series will adopt a new infotainment and digital instrument cluster, which consists of two conjoined LCD screens. This is a similar setup to that being used in the i4 all-electric sedan, which features the new iDrive 8 operating software.
The new screen is quite a bit larger than the one found in the current model. In total, it measures 14.9 inches wide and supports a 200-PPI ultra-high-resolution widescreen which houses a series of eye-catching graphics. Making it easier for the driver to look at and interact with is a curved surface that's somewhat indicative of the angled control panels used on historic 3 Series models.
Further building on the digital format is a new head-up display that is now flush with the dashboard, thus hiding it from a clear view. Again, this is a feature that is sourced from the i4 and promises to provide clearer and more intuitive displays.
The exterior design facelift will be subtle with key changes being made to the headlights. It seems the kidney grilles will remain untouched, which should allow the 3er to retain a sleeker appearance as opposed to the aggressive persona translated by the 4 Series range. But what can we expect in terms of powertrains and performance?
As is the case now, the updated BMW 3 Series will be offered with gasoline, diesel, and plug-in hybrid options. It's understood that these will remain unchanged with the 318i remaining the base offering in most markets and the M340i and M340d keeping their places as the flagships. Both the 318i and M340d are not offered in the USA but we'll still have access to the thrilling B58-powered M340i in rear- and all-wheel drive format. The 330i will act as the entry-level model here, also with rear- and all-wheel drive options.
With electrification being a major focus for BMW, the plug-in hybrid 320e and 330e will be carried over too. The former makes use of a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbo engine while the latter utilizes a turbocharged 3.0-liter straight-six unit. Only the 330e will be available in our market.

As I sit on Delta flight 1592 on my way back from Austin for SXSW 2012, I can’t help but think about what a whirlwind the last few days have been. To put it simply I’m absolutely exhausted.
Staying for months on end someplace isn’t that hard. It allows you to get into a routine, build a feeling of home and security, and generally find time to relax.
The last two weeks have been a different story entirely.
I started in Pittsburgh for TEDxCMU, migrated to NYC, and then spent 28 hours in a car getting to Austin where I’ve been for the last week. Amidst all of this I’ve experienced enough beer, late nights and meaningful conversation to last me for the rest of the year.
Put simply, it’s been exhausting. Over the last 24 hours I’ve been checked out, and haven’t been this excited to return to Portland for awhile – even if I’m told there’s 4 inches of snow on the ground.
Note: Luckily upon arriving the snow had since subsided…
However, just because I’m tired doesn’t mean I haven’t had an great trip. The people I’ve met and stories I’ve made are exactly what I was hoping for and I even learned a thing or two throughout the process.
What did I learn you might ask? Here are the 10 major takeaways I got from this iteration of SXSW.
1) Openness is Undervalued
For some reason many people have a tough time opening up to strangers or people they’ve just met. And why shouldn’t they feel that way? You never want to be that crazy person that gives a complete stranger your entire life story within 30 seconds of meeting.
This year at SXSW I’ve learned that’s not always true.
When in an environment with people that think the same way you do, and have had similar experiences, you often get more value by opening up to them than you do from your close friends. This morning I spent an hour talking to two people I hardly knew about entrepreneurship, relationships, lifestyle choices etc. and I got more from that than almost any conversation I had this week. Often it’s the strangers who can relate the best, while providing completely unbiased feedback to the situation at hand.
It can be uncomfortable to open up in this way, especially if you’re a naturally introverted person. However, if you find yourself meeting someone new, and resonating with their story and what they’re all about, speak up. Don’t be afraid to dig a bit deeper, as there’s a good chance you’ll be surprised by what happens.
2) FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) Won’t Do You any Good
New acronym of the trip award goes to FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). It’s a naturally tendency. You want to do everything and be everywhere regardless of how impossible that is, and how potentially detrimental it can be to your overall well-being.
Conferences like SXSW are the hardest places to deal with this. There’s always 100 things going on and even more people to see, so you have to pick and choose. As soon as you come to terms with the fact you can’t see or do everything you’re able to stay present in the moment, enjoy the interactions you’re having more, and generally get/provide more value than if you’re constantly looking for the next best thing.
3) Depth Over Breadth Wins (Usually)*
Along the same lines as FOMO, it’s easy to go overboard and try and meet as many people as possible. You know the type who strives to do nothing but collect as many business cards as possible, and meet the most important person in the room (what does that even mean?).
By choosing depth over breadth you’re able to build more meaningful friendships and business relationships. I’d rather spend 5 days with the 4 people I get along with best than spend 5 minutes with 500 people who won’t remember my name 10 minutes later.
I say that depth over breadth wins with a caveat. This year we had an incredible core group of maybe 20 people. I spent the vast majority of my time with them, built those connections up, and feel great about it. However because of that I didn’t get to see as many people as I’d wanted to. There were a few blog readers, other entrepreneurs in my space, and a couple others I’d hoped to meet, but just didn’t make the time for.
I’m ok with the fact that I didn’t see these people because I got so much of out of the interactions I did have, but looking back I’d consider 25% fewer parties, and 25% more real conversation with new people.
4) Shut the F*** Up
This morning I was chatting with a friend, and he started to interject in a story I was telling. He then consciously backpedaled and asked me to continue my story. After I’d finished with my tale he said for the last few months he’s been making a conscious effort to “shut the fuck up” when other people are talking. He said doing this not only gives him the opportunity to learn more from the person he’s interacting with, but it also provides an opportunity to do a better job of giving feedback in the conversation.
It’s easy to talk, however sometimes (most of the time) listening is how you’re really most valuable.
5) Ask More Questions
So now that you’re doing a better job listening, what do you do with the information you’ve been given or learn from someone? Answer: Ask thoughtful questions, and then listen some more.
I’ve never been the best at asking questions. Last year I wrote about the concept of inquiring minds, and how by nature I don’t tend to dig deeper. I was never the guy in class that was asking questions about the content – I’d just nod and agree. I still find myself doing that in conversations, even if I don’t totally understand what’s going on, or would like to get more information.
The ability to ask high quality questions is one of the most beneficial skills there is.
My friend Dane was talking about an interaction he had with Andrew Warner of Mixergy, where Andrew had asked for his advice. Rather than say “oh you should do this, or you should do that” he asked a series of questions to get more information, then he asked some more. Andrew commented that most people are way too quick to offer unsolicited tactics, and what set Dane apart was his ability to dig deeper even when asked for his input.
After all, tactics without a proper strategy and base, are not only ineffective, but they can actually be damaging to your business or brand.
6) Often No Plan is the Best Plan
At SXSW and other events, it’s impossible to have control over every situation. Things happen spontaneously, and as great as it would be to always be able to do exactly what you want and know what’s next, it’s impossible to do as distractions always come up.
That said, when you’re open to distractions amazing things can happen. The events that I’ve stumbled into, people I’ve met, and conversations I’ve had, all due to being willing to go with the flow were better than anything that was planned on my trip.
Sure planning is great, especially in contained environments where you can have control over what happens, but when the situation calls for spontaneity and uncertainty, roll with it, the chances are good you’ll like where you end up.
7) There’s Always More to Learn
One of the things I love the most about SXSW is I’m always reminded of how much I still have to learn. Being in such close proximity to so many other incredibly smart and talented people is both humbling and motivating at the same time. I’m leaving ready to build better habits, continue my education, and most importantly, ready to put techniques and ideas I had in conversations into practice – after all, what good is knowledge if you don’t do anything with it?
There were a few moments where I found myself getting down on myself as I listened to other people talk about things like marketing strategy, psychological triggers, or behavioral tendencies that I’ve just never delved into much. However, after the gut reaction of inferiority I realized , these people aren’t any smarter than me – they’ve just invested the time to learn. As I continue my evolution in life I’m thankful for the ability to have conscious goals of what I do want to learn – and it’s being around these people that solidify those personal goals.
8) There’s No Substitute for Meeting Face to Face
I’ve talked about this in the past, but there’s really no substitute for meeting face to face, shaking hands, having a drink and talking to someone in person. It helps solidify any relationship formed over the internet, and adds a base of reality to friendships that may not always seem entirely real.
Whether it’s been the new friendships formed or the strengthening of the ones that were already there, I’m always thankful for the ability to meet people in person.
9) SXSW is a Marathon and a Sprint All At the Same Time
Perhaps the biggest things I learned about the conference itself is that SXSW is both a marathon and a sprint all at the same time. It’s 4 days of awesome conversation, drinking, partying, plotting, planning, discussing, working, evaluating, and just about any other verb you can think of. It’s tiring, but difficult to slow down because there’s always opportunity to get even more out of it if you choose to do so.
Preparing yourself for this reality beforehand makes a big difference in how you approach the event and your goals for attending.
Coming to SXSW this year has once again reconfirmed why I’ve said I’ll never miss another one. It’s a hell of a time and something to look forward to – however it’s the lessons I’ve learned, and more importantly the ones I’ll be acting on, that make the trip so special and worthwhile.
Have you been to SXSW or a similar event? What have you gained from doing so? How do you pace yourself in such a hectic environment.

The two have been acting skits together and their obvious chemistry left many wondering if they were more than just good friends. Akuku Danger in an earlier Interview last month had addressed the claims stating that Sandra Dacha is his wife on the internet, although they would soon disclose what exactly was happening.
The actress opened up on the details of Akuku’s health, stating that she broke down at the sight of her boyfriend in hospital as she felt like he would die. Sandra added that 75% of his lungs had been affected by pneumonia and filled with water in the desperate situation.
He also needed Ksh.300,000 which they did not have, to be admitted to hospital. Fellow comedians, fans and friends however came through to help them which she says was a major relief.
The excited actress expressed her gratitude to all those who helped raise the required funds although she says they still need more help as they have a pending hospital bill of 2M that is need for the comedian to be released from hospital.

A court in Zimbabwe freed prominent journalist Hopewell Chin’ono, who exposed corruption in the supply of equipment to prevent the spread of COVID-19, and Zimbabwe’s Transformation Party leader Jacob Ngarivhume for calling for an unauthorized rallies and protests.
Judge Tawanda Chitapi of the Zimbabwe High Court said the court erroneously ruled in August to refuse bail, AllAfrica reports.
Mr Ngarivhume was granted $600 bail while Mr Chin’ono was ordered to pay $120 for his freedom.
Part of their bail conditions included that they surrender their passports and stop sharing messages on social media.
Earlier, the media reported about the inhuman prison conditions in which Chin’ono and Ngarivhume are being held. Lawyers said that prison officials repeatedly denied them the right to interview their clients in private. They also refused to allow lawyers to give their clients warm clothing and food from outside the prison.
In addition, Chin’ono’s lawyers early this week said he had fallen seriously ill in prison with symptoms to those of Covid-19.
The imprisonment of two anti-corruption activists was met with global condemnation of President Mnangagwa’s government, which is accused of using the cover of Covid-19 to crush dissent.
Another investigative journalist Mduduzi Mathuthu, who broke a story about a $60 million dollar Covid-19 drugs procurement scandal that implicated President Mnangagwa’s family, is in hiding after police raided his home.

WWII veteran’s Purple Heart returned to family in Keltch ParkPosted: Updated:
The niece of a World War II veteran was reunited Friday with her uncle’s Purple Heart, which was found unexpectedly.
The award belonged to Rubin Keltch who died in 1943 trying to save his shipmates after his Navy boat was attacked by a German submarine. Keltch received the Purple Heart for his bravery after running back into the sinking ship.
Jeff Kaufman, of Vermont, found the Purple Heart among a collection of items his father had purchased at a flea market.
"I was going through his estate about four months ago and sure enough it popped up,” said Kaufman. “I didn't really think about it but sure enough there was a name on the back."
It was returned to the Keltch’s niece Florinne Abramwitz at Keltch Park in the Bronx – which was named after her uncle.
“I am so proud, so happy, but sad in a way that he wouldn't see the recognition that he received…I wish he could be here today," she said.

MIDLAND - With a booming economy and more people moving to town, local tax offices are busy with vehicle registrations.
According to the Midland County Tax Collector's Office, registrations are up from 2009.
We're told the county has seen a 20 percent increase in vehicle registrations since the economy was at a low back in 2009.
Interestingly enough, the year has just started and officials in Midland say they don't see any sign of this trend slowing down.
According to Assistant Chief Deputy Karen Hood, there is a direct link between the boom and people registering their cars in Midland County.

Two months ago I reported on the Reaction Attempts project and the availability of the summary as a physical or electronic (PDF) book. The basic idea behind the project is to collect organic chemistry reaction attempts reported in Open Notebooks. This would include not only successful experiments but also those which could be categorized as failed, ambiguous, in progress, etc.
The book was organized with reactants listed alphabetically. In this way one could browse through summaries of the types of reactions being attempted by different researchers on a reactant of interest. There might be information there (what to do or what to avoid) of some use for a planned reaction. At the very least one could contact the researcher to initiate a discussion about work that had not yet been published in the traditional system.
Andrew Lang has just created a web-based tool to explore the Reaction Attempts database in much more sophisticated ways.
Here are some scenarios of how one could use it. On the left hand side of the page is a dropdown menu containing an alphabetically sorted list of all the reactants and products in the database. Lets select furfurylamine.
This immediately informs us that there are 230 reactions involving furfurylamine and it lists the schemes for all these reactions upon scrolling down. That’s still a bit hard to process so a second dropdown menu appears populated with a list of other reactants or products involved with furfurylamine.
We now select boc-glycine and that narrows our search to 145 reactions.
Selecting benzaldehyde from the third dropdown menu narrows the search further to 61 reactions.
The final dropdown menu contains a short list of only isocyanides and thus all represent attempted Ugi reactions. Selecting t-butyl isocyanide gives us 56 reactions.
That means that these same 4 components were reacted together 56 times. Looking at the various reaction summaries will show that some of these are duplicates for reproducibility and others vary concentration and solvent and the effect on yield is included. This particular reaction was in fact the subject of a paper on the optimization of a Ugi reaction using an automated liquid handler.
Now here is where the design of the Explorer comes in handy. We might want to ask if the reaction proceeds as well with the other isocyanides. All we have to do is switch the final dropdown menu to ask what happens when we go from t-butyl to n-butyl isonitrile. There is a single attempt of this reaction and it is “failed” in the sense that no precipitate was obtained from the reaction mixture. This doesn’t mean that the reaction didn’t take place – it might be that the Ugi product was too soluble. We can quickly inspect that the concentration and solvent are in line with conditions that allowed precipitation of the t-butyl derivative.
OK lets see what happens with n-pentyl isocyanide.
It looks like it behaves just like n-butyl isocyanide: another single non-precipitation event. What about benzyl isocyanide?
This time we do get the Ugi product from a single attempt. Note the lower yield compared to the t-butyl isocyanide under similar conditions.
What about with cyclohexyl isocyanide?
This time we hit an experiment in progress. A precipitate was obtained but it was not characterized. We can click on the link to the lab notebook page (EXP232) to learn more about how long it took for the precipitate to appear but there are not enough data to draw a definite conclusion about the successs of the reaction. However, based on the results from the other precipitates in this series it is probably encouraging enough to repeat and characterize the product.
There are other sources of information here. Clicking on the image of the Ugi product takes us to its ChemSpider entry. In this case the only associated data relates to this reaction attempt.
Lets look at another scenario: reactions involving aminoacetaldehyde dimethyl acetal.
In this case we find the intersection of two Open Notebooks. The first reaction comes from Michael Wolfle from the Todd group.
The second comes from Khalid Mirza from the Bradley group.
In order to learn more about the nature of the overlap we can use the substructure search capabilities of the Reaction Explorer. Simply click on the image of the acetal and the ChemSpider entry pops up. Now click on the copy button next to the SMILES for the compound.
Paste the SMILES into the SMARTS box of the Reaction Explorer.
We get 13 reaction attempts for this query – the two we found earlier and the rest corresponding to attempts by Michael Wolfle to synthesize praziquanamine.
We learn that one connection between these two notebooks involves different attempts at synthesizing praziquantel.
Hopefully this demonstrates the value of abstracting organic chemistry reaction attempts from Open Notebooks into a machine readable format. Contributions to the database require only the ChemSpider IDs of the reactants and product and a link to the relevant lab notebook page. Reaction schemes are automatically generated by the system. More on the Reaction Attempts project here.

“The Forever Purge” (Horror/Thriller: 1 hour, 43 minutes)
Starring: Ana de la Reguera, Josh Lucas, Leven Rambin and Tenoch Huerta
Director: Everardo Gout
Rated: R (Sturdy violence, gore and profanity)
Film Assessment: “The Permanently Purge” is an exaggerated fictional continuation of the Jan. 6 storming of the Capitol in Washington D.C. It is an overly violent film that is a snuff film that is section of a movie-tv franchise which, started out with “The Purge” (Director James DeMonaco, 2013). These videos may be entertaining but the character of humanity presented is a barbaric rerun.
Times right after the once-a-year Purge, a working day when any crime is legal in the United States for 6 hrs, ends, a lot of purgers determine to keep killing. Quite a few men and women on a ranch struggle to keep on being alive as they race to Mexico for protection. Along the way, Without end Purgers adhere to them to destroy and pillage.
This is a survival motion picture. It is gratuitous violence with exclusive undertones that are emphasized by repetitive motion sequences during. The times are energetic motion scenes with imagined-provoking concepts as a qualifications on the other hand, this motion picture seems a repeat of earlier films from this franchise.

“Summer of Soul (… Or, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised)” (Songs/Documentary: 1 hour, 57 minutes)
Director: Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson
Rated: PG-13 (Disturbing imagery and quick drug substance)
Film Overview: Often documentaries are a gateway to yesteryear. “Summer of Soul” details occasions of the turbulent 1960s through the tunes of a summer time of concert events that energized and calmed New York Metropolis.
The celebration was to rejoice African American new music and culture and to advertise Black satisfaction. People nevertheless echo several of these theme’s nowadays expressed then, and Questlove and his workforce use interviews successfully to attain audiences nowadays about the earlier.
In 1969, the Harlem Cultural Competition took put in Mount Morris Park in Harlem, New York, for the duration of the exact same summer time as Woodstock. The event’s host was New York nightclub singer Tony Lawrence, who was also the promoter. The series of six absolutely free live shows had an mixture attendance of somewhere around 300,000 people but irrespective of big-name talents undertaking at the event, it did not get the exact same protection as Woodstock.
Ahmir-Khalib Thompson, better recognised as Questlove from NBC’s “Tonight Show,” is a composer, actor and musician. He now makes his mark as a director to enjoy. He efficiently draws upon the footage from 1969’s “Black Woodstock” (Director Hal Tulchin).
Movie audiences can see performances by B.B. King, Mahalia Jackson, The Staple Singers, a young Stevie Wonder singing and actively playing the drums, Sly and the Family Stone, Gladys Knight & the Pips, Nina Simone and others. The film also functions some appearances from that 1969 summer, which include younger preacher Jesse Jackson to the then-Republican mayor of New York City John Lindsay.
Also featured are current-day interviews with performers and speakers at that party like Mavis Staples and Marilyn McCoo and Al Sharpton speaking about the importance of the pageant. Some celebrities and members of the viewers also present commentary about that summer competition.
The new music features gospel, blues, R&B, soul, and calypso. The party also featured neighborhood political speeches. Questlove options a couple of those people times and he also includes media clips of the text of the people at the 1969 festival concerning situations of 1969.
For instance, the Apollo 11 moon landing occurred even though Stevie Surprise was undertaking. You can hear a number of folks in the viewers jeer at listening to about the landing. Several of the persons at the competition imagined likely to the moon was avoidable when people had been hungry and their civil rights were being remaining violated.
Legendary comic Moms Mabley joked about America’s moon landing.
“A man’s absent to the moon,” she says in her trademarked type. “I went as significantly as Baltimore with him, and I received off,” she provides as a punchline.
Questlove would make this film fun. He also inserts enlightened times, although one feels considerably a lot more happened in the qualifications that he just did not have the time check out. The Harlem Cultural Pageant went from June 29 by Aug. 24, 1969, so this motion picture contains only a limited runtime. Extra guiding-the-scenes moments would be a nice addition.
This documentary allows folks to see a section of American heritage more intimately. Woodstock, the moon landing and Nixonian politics eclipsed this party, but the Harlem Cultural Festival eventually has the opportunity to reconnect with new generations.

“The Boss Child: Loved ones Business” (Animation/Experience/Comedy: 1 hour, 47 minutes)
Starring: Alec Baldwin, James Marsden, Amy Sedaris and Jeff Goldblum
Director: Tom McGrath
Rated: PG (Violence and crude humor)
Movie Critique: The babies are back again yet again.
“The Boss Baby: Loved ones Business” is the sequel to “The Manager Baby” (2017). Tom McGrath is the director for both motion pictures, and he and screenplay author Michael McCullers as soon as once more make these characters from Marla Frazee’s guide adventurous amusement.
“Family Business” is a lot more of the very same as a sequel but provides a further emotional element than its prequel.
The Templeton Brothers, Tim (Marsden) and Ted (Baldwin), have develop into adults. Tim’s fast paced spouse and children daily life and Tim’s administration of his business enterprise empire have lead to to brothers to see very little of just about every other a lot more as time passes.
They should work together all over again just after Tim’s toddler daughter, Tina (Sedaris), will become the new Manager Infant. Tina recruits the brothers to stop Dr. Armstrong (Goldblum), who strategies to have infants rule the environment.
The voices are key to having fun with this comedy. Baldwin, Marsden, Sedaris, Goldblum and McGrath, who performs a toy clock named Wizzie, are good as the characters they voice. The voices in shape the characters including to the humor the animated beings encourage.
McGrath (“Madagascar,” 2005) is swiftly turning into the animation movie guru for helming pleasurable animated comedies. “Family Business” is another adventurous motion picture to insert to his by now superior resume. It presents ample merriment that it really should get the job done for the whole family.

“@Zola” (Drama/Comedy: 1 hour, 26 minutes)
Starring: Taylour Paige, Riley Keough, Nicholas Braun and Colman Domingo
Director: Janicza Bravo
Rated: R (Perverse language, nudity, a sexual assault, potent sexual content and violence)
Film Overview: Again, proving actual-lifetime is much more exciting than fiction, “Zola” is primarily based on the viral Twitter thread by A’Ziah ‘Zola’ King (@_zolarmoon). The tweets are about a handful of days of an fascinating aspect of her life. This photoplay brilliantly capitalizes on her difficulties.
Zola (Paige) decides to choose an exotic dancing gig in Tampa, Fla. She does this at the encouragement of her new buddy, Stefani (Keough). Zola, X (Domingo), Stafani and her boyfriend, Derrek (Braun), travel from Detroit to Tampa by way of auto. All appears nicely right until Zola realizes Stefani and X have involved her in a little something illegal.
The initially minutes of “Zola” feel like anything a teen would shoot with their cell telephones, nevertheless it is oddly inviting. This tale has an energetic method of supply, and its solid does similarly with their roles.
Taylour Paige is the guide for this entertaining motion picture. Previous noticed in “Boogie” (Director Eddie Huang, 2021), she is a proficient lovely actress. She would make this position actual. She is genuine in roles. Her scenes with Riley Keough are intriguingly humorous. Surely, cultural appropriation applies to Keough’s effectiveness as Zola’s new “bff,” yet the actress overplays stereotypes but will work for the way she executes this position. The two gals are Thelma and Louise on crack but they are watchable. Even when their lives are irritating, you obtain them attention-getting men and women.
The two primary male roles are also well worth noting. Nicholas Braun performs Stefani’s boyfriend with a certain innocence that works. The character feels like some male just one went to substantial college with that was funny and a neat geek whilst being naively uncomfortable. Braun steals scenes typically.
Colman Domingo, television’s “Fear the Walking Lifeless,” gives an enigmatic character as X. He performs X in a laid-back again method, but when his character is offended Domingo provides a really powerful effectiveness that seems as well true opposite other individuals of the cast.
Janicza Bravo (“Lemon,” 2017) has just made herself a director to watch. She did mostly movie shorts and teleplays right before now. With “Zola,” Bravo delivers an creative, albeit really sexual, screenplay that is really fashionable in its use of popular media this kind of as Twitter. She and co-author Jeremy O. Harris supply a riveting experience with some included intensive scenes that are convincing for this dim comedy.

“Lansky” (Biography/Crime: 1 hour, 59 minutes)
Starring: Harvey Keitel, Sam Worthington, John Magaro, AnnaSophia Robb and David Cade
Director: Eytan Rockaway
Rated: R (solid bloody violence, profanity and some sexual references)
Motion picture Critique: Occasionally, a movie surprises you in unpredicted means. “Lansky” is a single of those people. It spans approximately 80 a long time. It is a excellent criminal offense drama for the reason that of a incredibly gifted general performance of seasoned veteran actor Harvey Keitel.
An getting older Meyer Lansky (Keitel) meets journalist David Stone (Worthington), who will generate Lansky’s biography. As Stone interviews Lansky, he learns how Lansky, who was identified as the “Mob’s Accountant,” grew to become a key leader of the American National Crime Syndicate. As Lansky specifics his existence as the infamous manager of Murder Inc., the FBI proceeds to examine Lansky. The Feds hope Stone can get Lansky to inform what occurred to nearly $300 million.
Director Eytan Rockaway (“The Abandoned,” 2015) and Robert Rockaway generate an intriguing tale. Lansky is a intricate gentleman. He was a patriot to the United States throughout Planet War II to expose Nazis to the federal operatives and support mail revenue for Israel to defend by itself.
Lansky, in accordance to this movie, was supplying Israel large sums of money for the duration of the administration of Key Minister Golda Meir. Lansky needed to enable Israel protect by itself because he observed himself retiring there a single day.
Lansky is a challenging gentleman, although individuals are. Lansky is much more intriguing. He commits evil functions, nonetheless reveals deep compassion for family and friends. The mobster’s steps as a youthful person are corrupt and malevolent, nonetheless he does superior to guard the region of his start, the United States, and the country that inspires him, Israel.
Harvey Keitel performs the more mature edition with a specific self-self-assurance that displays he is boss. Keitel simply makes 1 have compassion for Lansky. Keitel provides his most sizeable effectiveness in yrs listed here. His scenes with a talented Sam Worthington are also very participating moments.
John Magaro plays youthful Lansky in flashbacks. His design is as awesome and collected as Keitel’s older variation of Lansky. Magaro’s Lansky is no saint, but manages to do fantastic acts even with his evil types. Magaro’s most effective interactions are with AnnaSophia Robb. She performs his wife. Their turbulent partnership scores irrespective of the repetitive arguing.

Recently, AMD’s Chief Gaming Architect and Marketing Frank Azor published a message on Twitter. The tweet indicates that something might happen tomorrow (on September 10). Despite the tweet being rather long, it does not provide any meaningful information as to the nature of the teaser.
We do, however, expect to see another teaser for Big Navi or something related to Zen3 (pure speculation). It could happen in the form of an update to the AMD Battle Arena map in Fortnite. Just recently AMD sponsored streamer discovered that the map contains hints related to the Big Navi graphics card. The Easter Egg required completion of a few steps such as entering a 6000 passcode to see a message “SOMETHING BIG IS COMING TO THE AMD BATTLE ARENA!”. This message has more or less confirmed that the next-generation Navi is codenamed RX 6000 series.
Frank Azor has later said on Twitter that there might be more hidden in the game that has not yet been discovered. So far, no one has had success in finding more information about Big Navi ( NAVI 2X ).

So ya gotta hang on
Come what may
