Building the Bearhawk LSA
Fuel tanks and wingtips.
A riveted fuel tank ready for the top skin. The blue-capped fittings are outlets, and the upper fitting is part of the sight gauge that will be installed after the wing is installed.
As you might remember from the last exciting episode, the Pudding River Bearhawk crew was closing in—however slowly—on completing their Bearhawk LSA.
Well…remember how Charles Schultz's cartoon dog Snoopy looks when he's happy—feet flying, ears twirling as he dances with delight? Well, none of us exactly "twirl" anymore, but we can appreciate the emotion…because…
The wings are done!
Even as we were riveting up the skins on the second wing, we knew that there were still two major projects ahead before we could call the wings really done: fuel tanks and wingtips.
Rion fits one of the upper straps that suspend the fuel tank within the wing. Getting the exact length was tricky.
With the straps in place, the tank can be fitted into the wing.
Building the Tanks
The construction plans barely show the tanks and have no details at all of how they are built or installed, but the rudimentary construction booklet that came with them gave enough information to form a basic picture: The Bearhawk uses a 15-gallon tank in an inboard bay of each wing. They are suspended between the spars by steel straps, tensioned by adjustable clamps, and accessed by a removable panel of lower wingskin.
The "plans" call for them to be welded from formed bulkheads and skins made of 6061 aluminum—a weldable alloy—0.040-inch thick. We didn't have a ready source of 6061 in .040—although it would have been possible to get some—and we certainly didn't know how to weld aluminum. Between us, though, we'd built several tanks for RVs using the Van's method of riveting with tank sealant between all the pieces. Even though we'd learned some lessons about departing from designer Bob Barrows' plans—his methods usually worked better than ours!—a conversation with Barrows at Oshkosh let us know he had no objection to riveted/sealed tanks…he just preferred welding to messing with tank sealant. We decided to go with what we knew and build riveted tanks. Because they were separate, stand-alone structures, we figured if we got the strength and shape right, the construction method was secondary.
Tensioning "buckles" for the tank straps were made from bolts with the heads removed. One side is drilled and tapped for stainless steel Allen-head bolts.
In most RVs the tanks do double duty as the inboard section of the wing leading edge, so they are riveted with flush, solid rivets. In the Light Sport RV-12, though, the tank is a simple aluminum box riveted with sealant and blind rivets. The latter was the most similar to the Bearhawk tanks. Neither contribute to the shape or structure of the airframe—they are just containers strapped into the airplane for the sole purpose of holding fuel. We chose to copy RV-12 construction.
I made form blocks for the tank ribs and pounded out three per tank, using .032 Alclad 2024-T3. We bent skins on a simple brake, forming the top and front from one piece, the rear and bottom out of another. There's nothing tricky about assembling the tanks—clamp the parts together, drill the hole patterns for the rivets that will hold them together, deburr and clean all the parts, apply tank sealant and blind rivet the "box" together, using the same closed-end blind rivets used in the RV-12 tank.
We installed two RV-10 fuel pickups in each tank, one at the forward corner and the other at the rear. I put them as close to the bottom skin of the tank as I could, but we suspect that testing will reveal at least a gallon of unusable fuel in each tank. The pickups are plumbed together just outside the tank with a single aluminum fuel line running to the selector valve. By having one forward and one aft, one should always be submerged in fuel, whatever the airplane's attitude.
A pneumatic blind rivet gun makes short work of closing the tank.
A simple push drain was installed on the inboard aft corner of the tank and a hole cut in the access panel to let it protrude. The filler neck was located by strapping the tank in place and using a long drill bit to poke a hole through the top wingskin and tank. We cut the hole in the wingskin to 2.25 inches to accommodate the 2-inch filler neck—the strapping method isn't precise, and we wanted a little wiggle room.
Although the construction booklet gave complete plans for making the multi-part vented gas caps on a metal lathe, we weren't looking for ways to make the wings take longer and bought the pre-made caps from Bearhawk. They're nicely made, fairly priced, and fit perfectly.
The most difficult part of tank building and installation, to our surprise, was nothing on the tank itself…rather it was the straps holding the tanks into the wings. We made these out of steel banding material used to hold shipping crates together, covered with shrink tube. The exact lengths of both the short and long sections of the straps turned out to be quite important, and there are no dimensions on the plans—actually, given the realities of scratch-built airplanes, it probably isn't possible to give one. We figured it out through trial and error. Allen-head bolts threaded into drilled and tapped steel rods (simply large bolts with the heads and threads cut off) pulled the straps together and provided the tension to hold the tanks. These are buried between the rear of the tank and the rear spar of the wing and are difficult to reach. Way too much practice taking the tanks in and out finally led us to develop a technique that worked, but we hope we don't find ourselves removing the tanks very often. If I'd made the tanks about -inch shorter, access would have been quite a bit easier.
With the tanks and fuel lines finally installed and buttoned up, we turned our attention to the last big project on the wings—the wingtips.
Building the Wingtips
Bearhawk wingtips are more or less left to the builder. The construction booklet suggests you could carve a wingtip out of blocks of foam glued to the end of the wing, cover that with fiberglass, finish that out to a smooth surface, make a fiberglass mold off the "positive" tip, and make the actual fiberglass tip in the "negative" mold. Nothing to it.
RV-12 parts were used as patterns for our all-metal wingtip.
In my long ago Malibu youth, I'd shaped and glassed several surfboards so carving and finishing the tip didn't intimidate me…but I knew it would be messy (not a good thing in the TajMahangar with its polished floor) and tedious. Making a blank, pulling a mold, and making the part inside that seemed reasonable if we were going to be making several sets of tips, but it's an awful lot of work for just one set. I just knew that if we made our tips this way we'd have four or five months of part-time work in one set of tips, and worse, that time would be spent working with fiberglass. Does anybody really like working with that? None of us do…so we looked for alternatives.
The best was right in front of us. Phillip recently had worked up a set of metal tips for his other project: a super-light RV-9A. Both the KK-1 and the RV-12 that I'd built earlier had used some cleverly shaped aluminum parts to form very light and aerodynamically clean tips with no compound curves. It helped that both those airplanes were designed on CAD systems, so the complicated metal shapes that bend into a graceful tip were accurately designed and manufactured. We decided to go for it, and build metal wingtips.
The RV-12 wing has almost exactly the same chord and thickness as the Bearhawk, so our first thought was, let's just copy that. That didn't work exactly, because the airfoil shapes are quite different. The Ribblet airfoil chosen for the Bearhawk LSA has a concave, cambered, lower surface, which complicates the shape of the tip.
The high-wing Bearhawk won't have the rectangular handhold used on the RV-12. The flat top of the wingtip (right) was fairly simple, but the bottom was complicated by the airfoil shape.
We didn't have a CAD system, so we bought a few parts of the RV-12 wingtips from Van's and used them as disposable patterns, cutting them as necessary to fit the new shape. Phillip, with his engineering background and recent experience, was appointed geometer-in-chief, and using his eye, some basic math, and some cut-and-try pattern making, he came up with a five-piece wingtip that simply riveted together. We were able to use a couple of the RV-12 parts without alteration, which pleased us.
Phillip drills one of the five pieces making up the all-metal wingtip.
The geometry isn't simple, and we were surprised how very small changes in almost any dimension made big changes in the final shape. Eventually, we burned through enough scrap aluminum and cardboard and arrived at a sleek flush-riveted wingtip that weighs less than a fiberglass unit, took a lot less time, and was much more fun to build. It gives a unique touch to our airplane.
Rion sets up the blind rivets for the final installation of the wingtip.
When the last rivet went into the wingtip, we poured a glass of homebrew (brewing beer is a close second to aviation as an approved activity on our airpark!) and celebrated. The wings are done! In a phrase made famous in the Pacific Northwest by William Clark (during his expedition with Meriwether Lewis) 212 years ago:
O! the joy!
Some days you just have to set down the tools, step outside, and realize how lucky you are to live in a place like this.

5 Best Movies to Watch by Noah Baumbach
bbdirector › Noah Baumbach
1. De Palma, 2015, 2016
This autobiographical documentary covering the span of Brian DePalma's 50+ year filmmaking career is taken from the man himself. From budget-less independent films to multi-million dollar box-office projects, he offers a fascinating professional history. But don't expect critical analysis of his frequently controversial choices (such as the infamous oversized drill used as a murder weapon in Body Double)—he will acknowledge the existence of these issues, if only to grin and shrug them off, at times literally. What you can expect is to feel you are taken by the hand through Hollywood filmmaking experiences over the course of decades: negotiations, rewrites, stolen scripts, scuffling actors; tours of technical points of interest from his movies with commentary on deftly chosen film clips. You don't have to be a fan to get a wealth of entertainment here. Not to be missed.
2. The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected), 2017
Adam Sandler doesn't suck here.
This is a beautiful family comedy directed by Noah Baumbach (Frances Ha, The Squid and the Whale).
Sandler plays a recently divorced man (as he tends to do) called Danny (as he's usually called). Danny moves in with his father, played by Dustin Hoffman, who himself is dealing with feelings of failure.
Both of them are joined by other members of the family, including Danny's half-brother, played by Ben Stiller. Their family dynamics are portrayed in a beautiful and sometimes moving way. Director Baumbach proves he's so good, he can make even Adam Sandler sound and look genuine.
3. The Squid and the Whale, 2005
Director Noah Baumbach's autobiographical film is a strikingly realistic take on divorce and the turmoil it sets on an already-dysfunctional family. Bernard (Jeff Daniels) is a selfish decadent writer who's splitting with his unfaithful wife Joan (Laura Linney). Their two sons, Walt (Jesse Eisenberg) and Frank (Owen Kline), are taking different sides that reflect their personality. This separation only reinforces their insecurities as they quickly fall into depression and grow away from their friends. The parents, however, find unconventional lovers just as quickly, Bernard with a student of his, and Jane with her son's tennis coach. The Squid and the Whale is a funny, emotional, and gripping story that finds a perfect balance in tone despite dealing with bitter divorce and troubled adolescence.
4. Frances Ha, 2013
Frances (Greta Gerwig) lives in New York – but not the glamorous NYC of Woody Allen movies. Taking place primarily in the gritty and rapidly gentrifying North Brooklyn, the black and white film paints a picture of an extended adolescence. Focusing on the goofy and carefree Frances, who loses her boyfriend, her best friend and her dream of being a dancer. She moves in with two guys, both of whom are more successful than her, and becomes even more determined to fulfil her goals, impractical as they may be. Fans of HBO's Girls and other odes to not being a "real person" yet will love this film.
5. Mistress America, 2015
This is a slightly weird and not so slightly quirky movie to be avoided by anyone with a low tolerance to the weird or quirky. Greta Gerwig (Lady Bird, Frances Ha) and Noah Baumbach (The Squid and the Whale, also Frances Ha) write the story, while Gerwig plays a lead role. Two girls, one a New Yorker and the other having just arrived in New York for a writing program, get in touch because their parents will marry. The writer is fascinated by the personality of the New Yorker and follows her everywhere to understand her more, and eventually write about her. Mistress America is their journey through friendship and through New York. Stick around the first 40 minutes or so, because the second half of this 82-minute movie is hilarious.

Revisit the Glory Days of Horror a.k.a the 80s with "The Barn"
It's Halloween 1989, best friends Sam and Josh are trying to enjoy what's left of their final Devil's Night before graduating high school. But trouble arises when the two pals and a group of friends take a detour on their way to a rock concert, finding an old abandoned barn and awakening the evil inside. Now it's up to Sam and Josh to find a way to protect their friends and defeat the creatures that lurk within "The Barn".
The official poster for The Barn features three monsters that will make appearances in the film and they appear to be in the form of a skeleton miner, a pumpkin headed axe wielding maniac, and a burlap sack headed scarecrow style monster. Honestly, Nevermore Production Films couldn't be doing a better job promoting the film with a flair for 80s nostalgia as the official website has an early internet feel to it, the soundtrack sounds like it was ripped straight out of the 80s, and the trailer looks like a typical horror movie trailer from a bygone era. Nevermore Productions are even promoting action figures in the style of typical 80s toys, an 8-bit style video game, and a board game! Yes if you check out some of the promotional stills below you'll see that one of them features a "The Barn board game". I will keep you all informed on whether we will see that product soon or not. After the promo pictures I've also linked the trailer via Fangoria.com who ran the exclusive trailer a few days ago. The first thing I thought when I saw the website and trailer for The Barn was that I am now more excited about this movie than I have been about a film since the glory days (the 80s!).

Stakeholders hail Lagos' push to sanitize real estate
Stakeholders in the construction sector, including a property development company, Address Homes, have praised the Lagos State government's push to tackle the challenges of quackery and fraudulent activities in the real estate sector.
Address Homes Marketing Manager Segun Ogunbiyi described the recently concluded 3rd Lagos Real Estate Market Conference & Exhibition as a great platform created to deepen professionalism in the industry. Other experts and industry stakeholders at the event also praised the state government.
He said the state government's decision through the Lagos State Real Estate Regulatory Authority to create a platform for industry players to discuss security, technology, policies and showcase their products and services reinforced the administration's commitment of the governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to promote the sector.
Speaking on the sidelines of the Conference and Exhibition, Ogunbiyi said the company's association with the government was purely to promote integrity, professionalism, client satisfaction and security in the real estate industry in Nigeria.
According to him, while the collaboration was intended to curb unscrupulous practices and promote global best practices and investment opportunities in the sector, the firm has continued to change the face of real estate development through the delivery of quality homes to high income luxury home seekers. .
He said: "The real estate market has different segments. There's an emerging market, there's a mid-base market, and there's an upmarket. We play in the high end market where we build luxury homes for very important people, captains of industry and oil and gas gurus. Those are the people we target because they can afford our properties.
"Our market is reduced to a particular set of individuals and not the entire market."
Also speaking at the conference, a member of the marketing unit, Address Homes Morohuntoye Olufunke, said the idea behind the conference aligns with the company's core values of professionalism, integrity and customer satisfaction. .
She said: "As a real estate agent and stakeholder, you need to be aware of what is happening in the industry; You should also know that there are checks and balances in trading within the sector and that they are part of what this market is designed to address. Various stakeholders within the industry have been able to interact and share ideas that can improve the real estate sector.
"As one of the exhibitors, the event has been able to create a platform for us to show our potential to do things differently. We have said that Address Homes does not just build, we build houses with a combination of high quality contemporary architectural design and high level finishes with respect to designs and styles that satisfy the passion, taste and comfort of the consumer. Our projects, including The Luxuria, located on Alexander Road, Dan and Dan located on Banana Road, Ikoyi, Osapa London, among others, speak to the difference we bring to construction."
Speaking earlier at the conference and exhibition, Lagos State Governor Sanwo-Olu, who was represented by his deputy Dr. Obafemi Hamzat, described the real estate sector as the largest employer of labor in the country with the potential to open the gate of economic prosperity. not only for the state but for the nation.
The governor said that the industry with a propensity to be the source of income for the people needs to be protected against quackery and unprofessional attitudes from professionals that could compromise safety and harm citizens.
He said: "We are concerned about emerging trends and practices in the sector of late, which have now required increased vigilance by all genuine professionals and the government in view of the reported case rate of dubious acts by some real estate agents who are taking undue advantage of the market, which has become one of the fastest growing in Nigeria and in particular in Lagos State as a result of the population increase.
"Our government, through LASRERA, has defined minimum operating standards and guidelines that citizens must adhere to, adding that the guidelines provide a comprehensive checklist for citizens to correctly identify and have a competitive list of individuals/organizations registered to Avoid doing business with unregistered Real Estate. practitioners in the system.
Sanwo-Olu urged the collaboration of the private sector to prevent the proliferation of fraudulent activities in the real estate market.
Speaking about the challenges facing the industry, Special Adviser to the Governor of Lagos State on Housing Toke Benson-Awoyinka, who oversees the Lagos State Real Estate Regulatory Authority, said the real estate sector has been fraught with risks. and losses that have been critical issues for those in the sector, adding that the search for transparency in commercial transactions in the real estate market required the need for government participation in the regulation of the real estate sector.

APC officially flags off Sanwo-Olu's re-election campaign
The APC Governorship Campaign Group in Lagos State on Wednesday, officially flagged off the re-election campaign of the incumbent governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu. Speaking at a media briefing to herald the flag-off at Ikeja, the Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr Gbenga Omotoso said the theme of the 2023 re-election campaign for Sanwo-Olu and his Deputy, Dr Obafemi Hamzat is: "A Greater Lagos Rising!
Omotoso said the theme indicated the continuation of what the present administration promised in 2019 and had been implementing.
"We promised our people A Greater Lagos.
What do we see around us?
Abundant evidence of a new city rising from the womb of time.
We do not make a false claim of having reached the zenith of our journey.
"Our contextual usage of the word is as an adjective that suggests an upward swing, an increase and an upward movement.
These are the signs the people of Lagos state can see all around the state," he said.
According to him, the campaign is not about Sanwo-Olu and his team alone but it is a tribute to all the youths who are putting Lagos on the global map.
He said the campaign was a celebration of the collective progress made in the last three and half years, against all odds.
The commissioner said that from the social motivational perspective, the idea of rising captured the essentialism of the spirit of thousands of 'creative and tech rebels' who call Lagos home.
He said that the creative and technology experts were changing the false narratives about Nigeria with music, movies, fashion, sports and technological innovations, hence, putting Lagos state on the global map.
According to him, they are the ones helping to announce the rising of Lagos city on distant shores, they are the Made-In-Lagos brands to whom the campaign is also dedicated.
Also speaking, the Director-General of, the Sanwo-Olu-Hamzat Campaign Committee, Sen. Ganiyu Solomon said that Sanwo-Olu deserved a second term as he had touched on every aspect of his administration's T.
H.E.M.E.S developmental agenda.
"It is during his time that we witnessed the COVID-19 pandemic, and it was during this time that the EndSARS situation also occurred, and all these did not stop him from performing and from ensuring that the T.
H.E.M.E.S agenda is followed," Solomon said.
The Commissioner for Budget and Economic Planning, Mr Sam Egube said that Lagos had not made any mistake in choosing the right governor.
"The greater Lagos is indeed rising with Sanwo-Olu. "When you hear our leaders in the entertainment industry shout for joy, then you know that today that scripture is fulfilled, that when the righteous are in authority that the people shout for joy.
When we see those things, indeed, we say that Lagos is true, rising.
"When we see the health facility, the Mother and Child care centres in Epe, in Ajah, in Badagry, in Igando come alive, you cannot but agree with me that the Greater Lagos which we talked about, is indeed rising.
Lagos govt. warns law enforcement officers against extortion, harassment
General news3 months ago
Gov. Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State has charged Law Enforcement Officers to be professional and civilised in their discharge of duties.
Sanwo-Olu gave the charge at the passing out parade, signifying the successful completion of series of training programmes for the 8,316 law enforcement officers of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA), Vehicle Inspection Service (VIS), Kick Against Indiscipline (KAI), and Neighborhood Safety Corp. The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the parade was held at the Lagos Enforcement Training Institute (LETI) inside the Lagos State Public Service Staff Development Center, Magodo on Thursday.
The governor who was represented by his deputy, Dr Obafemi Hamzat, warned against any form of harassment, arbitrariness and extortion from any of its law enforcement officers.
"I want to particularly emphasise that while you are expected to be firm in enforcing the law, you must demonstrate professionalism and civility in the way and manner you relate with the people.
"This administration is irrevocably committed to upholding the tenets of the rule of law.
"Therefore, government will not condone any form of harassment, arbitrariness, extortion from any of its law enforcement officers," he said.
Sanwo-Olu assured that his administration would continue to strengthen the capacity of the law enforcement officers with the appropriate gadgets and equipment that would enhance their efficiency and effectiveness.
The governor also added that government would continue to promote accountability and transparency.
In his remarks, the State Attorney for Justice, Moyosore Onigbanjo (SAN), represented by the Director, Advisory Services, Ministry of Justice, Mr Saheed Quadri, advised the law enforcement officers to serve with honour, dignity, courage and integrity.
"As an individual, you must show allegiance to what is right and conform to a standard of conduct that shows your true worth, display bravery and honesty.
"As law enforcement officers, you are expected to have knowledge of the content of the constitution and the laws of the country .
"Also, you are required not only to comply with the law but to also ensure that other persons comply with it as well," he said.
Delivering her speech, the Chief Executive Officer and Head of LETI, Mrs Abiola Adeyinka said the training of law enforcement officers was important and necessary because it represented a good opportunity and privileges for officers to grow their knowledge base.
Adeyinka said it would also help the officers improve their job skills to become more effective and efficient in the work place.
She noted that the training would ensure excellence in their conduct during the discharge of official responsibilities.
The training included Team Building; Emotional Intelligence, Gender Based Violence, Emergency Response Training, and Review of Law Enforcement Agencies Law. The head of LETI however, appealed to the state government for extension of training days in other to capture different areas of development in law enforcement and innovative technologies.

5,000 Lagos4Lagos Movement members return to APC in Lagos
The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State on Thursday, received five thousand decampees from the Lagos4Lagos Movement, supporters of the Lagos PDP Governorship Candidate, Dr Abdul-Azeez Adediran (Jandor).
The News Agency of Nigeria recalls that the defunct Lagos4Lagos Movement led by Adediran was a group of aggrieved APC members who decamped to the PDP with Adediran, earlier in January.
Receiving the decampees, Dr Obafemi Hamzat, the Deputy Governor of Lagos state said that it was possible for anyone to be misled, but it would be foolishness to continue in a wrong direction after discovering the right path.
Hamzat, who handed over the APC flags to the decampees, commended them for retracing their footsteps to the APC, assuring that they would not regret their decision.
"The state is moving in a right direction.
This is the right decision.
Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has the eye for talents and ability to manage people.
"This is the time for us to vote for someone that knows the way.
It is good you retraced your steps.
I must tell you that you have made the right decision.
"It is people that make towns, cities and countries great.
I am excited that you have seen the reason to support Asiwaju," Hamzat said.
In his welcome address, Pastor Cornelius Ojelabi, the Lagos state APC Chairman, thanked the decampees for returning to the progressives family.
Ojelabi said that the APC-led administration in Lagos state had prioritised welfare of the residents and had improved infrastructure in the state.
"Thank you for finding it necessary to be part of the progressive family and process of developing Lagos state.
"You have taken a right decision by coming home to be part of the process.
This is your party.
You are not going to regret this step," Ojelabi said.
The APC boss urged residents of the state to use their votes to fast-track more progress and development in the state by voting APC candidates in the 2023 general elections.
Earlier, Mr Idowu Daramola, who led the decampees to the party, said that the group was happy to return to the APC.
Daramola also added that the emergence of Sen. Bola Tinubu as Presidential Candidate of the APC, equally changed the political equation, which made the group to retrace their steps to the ruling party to support Tinubu.
"This is a great opportunity for anyone that is a Lagos resident and the Yoruba nation to give support to Tinubu.
"We have told everybody that we needed to go back because we discovered that we were going in the wrong direction," he said.
Other leaders of the decampees, Mr Tunde Kazeem, the South Africa Coordinator, Mr Ahmed Mefeola, Chairman, Jandor Legacy Forum, Mr Kunle Dabiri, Adeola Osundairo, Jumoke Fakoya, Fredrick Falana and Temitope Adebanjo all pledged their allegiance to the APC.
NAN reports that the decampees, who came into the APC secretariat in white and pink T-Shirts with inscription of Jandor4Governor, removed their T-shirts publicly to unveil another worn underneath with inscription of All4BAT '23 and BOSS '23. The reception was attended by members of the Lagos APC state executive committee, members of Lagos APC Campaign council and other chieftains of the party.

Dr Obafemi Hamzat, Lagos Deputy Governor has urged Nigerians to vote for the All Progressive Congress (APC) candidates especially the Presidential Candidate, Sen. Bola Tinubu and his running mate Sen. Kashim Shettima .
The deputy governor made the appeal at the Police College, Ikeja on Saturday, after a Walk tagged: "Eko Youth Walk for Tinubu, Shettima, Sanwo-Olu and Hamzat" in Lagos.
He said it was important for Nigerians, come February, to come out en-masse to march Tinubu and Shettima to Aso Rock. He said: "Tinubu laid the solid foundation for the development of the state upon which successive administrations had built a better and greater Lagos.
"In Lagos, Asiwaju laid the foundation for development of the state and all other preceding governors, including the incumbent, Gov. Babajide Sanwo-Olu who has done a wonderful job in Lagos state Speaking on the success track record of Tinubu, a former governor of Lagos state, Hamzat said that Tinubu had made great antecedents which had made the state habitable for everyone irespective of tribe.
"Lagos is good for all of us and this is because some people worked hard, let us now support the man that managed the process by ensuring that he matches to Aso Rock as president.
" The deputy governor noted that the APC presidential candidate had shown his manifesto to Nigerians and he had the ability to create more jobs, provided high paying jobs to the Nigerian youths, boost the economy and secured the country from those who wanted to cause the nation harm.
"Asiwaju and Shettima have given us a good template and let's be assured that as he was able to build Lagos state , he will build Nigeria.
" In his remarks, the Deputy Governor of Kogi, Mr Edward Onoja urged Lagos state residents to deliver at least four million votes for the APC presidential candidate, noting that Lagos had the highest number of registered voters in the country.
He said: "Lagos has over 20 million people, over seven million people registered therefore, Lagos should give at least four million votes to Asiwaju.
" Onoja stated that the road to a better Nigeria was before all Nigerians and therefore, advised Nigerians to collectively renew their strength for a better country.
On his part, the Lagos state Chairman of the APC, Mr Cornelius Ojelabi noted that the forthcoming election was very critical to all Nigerians, especially the youths.
Ojelabi said the state had given room to youths in governance by increasing the numbers of councilors from 245 in 1999 to 376. According to him, we have created job opportunities for more youths in government establishments across the state.
He commended the youths for their participation at the walk, adding that with that, they had shown that they were part of the process of building a new nation, growing the economy and banishing insecurity in the nation.
The chairman therefore, urged the youths to vote wisely for the presidential candidate of the party.

The Lagos State chapter of All Progressives Congress (APC) on Saturday commended the youth for their massive turnout at the rally in support of the party's Presidential Candidate, Sen. Bola Tinubu and his running mate, Sen. Kashim Shetima.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the Eko Youth Walk, organised by Tinubu support groups, commenced from Maryland at 7.00a.

"The success of the rally is a clear statement and demonstration of the preference of our teeming youths as regards the choices before them.
"It underscores a clear understanding of the manifesto of our presidential candidate which is essentially a commitment to youth development, empowerment and a guarantee of a bright future under a progressive government.
"The support for Sanwo-olu is a vote of confidence in a promising second term as a result of a highly successful first term of office.
"It is note-worthy that the youths mobilised human and material resources towards the success of the rally, to harness their collective strength towards a great cause," Oladejo said.

2023: Sanwo-Olu urges women to vote for competence, precedents
2023: Sanwo-Olu urges women to vote for competence, precedents L-R: Wife of Lagos State Deputy Governor, Mrs Oluremi Hamzat; Lagos Deputy Gov. Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State on Thursday urged women to vote a candidate with competence and precedents to lead Nigeria.
Sanwo-Olu, who was represented by his Deputy, Dr Obafemi Hamzat, gave the advice at the closing ceremony of the 22nd National Women's Conference, with the theme: "Spring Forth, Stand Out", organised by the Committee Of Wives Of Lagos State Officials (COWLSO) in Lagos.
He urged women to use their power as nation builders to restore Nigeria to the path of developmental trend, by voting the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Sen. Bola Tinubu.
"Woman are extremely significant, 'no woman, no nation, so what that means is that if we want to build that nation, we must go out, pull our husbands, our cousins, our children to go and vote for Tinubu," the governor said.
He said that Tinubu revived the economy of Lagos state from bankruptcy in 1999 as governor.
According to him, women should mobilise to vote for Tinubu who has a track record of excellent performance.
"We are a nation of history and part of our problem as a nation is that we have forgotten our history; is that we have westernised ourselves; is that we have broken our developmental trend.
"How do we bring it back?
We must bring it back by allowing people who have precedents to do the work.
It is as simple as that.
"Look at how beautiful and impactful this conference had been.
It is because everybody came together to work hard.
So, if we want a nation our own children and grandchildren will be happier than us, it is time to vote for a man who has done it before.
"There are no two ways about it; we must look at what people have done and how they have done it.
People forget that in 1999, Lagos state was bankrupt; this state does not have a single ambulance in 1999. "Only seven per cent of the roads in Lagos state were tarred in 1999. So, a lot has happened and the foundation was laid by the man, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
"We are not being sentimental; we are just saying let us move our country forward.
We belong in the nation of the disciplined and respected not just we go somewhere and they are saying Nigerians should move to one side.
," he said.
The governor said that Nigeria and Nigerians remained very important and the future of the black man in the world rest on Nigeria, hence, we should not miss the opportunity of making the country greater.
In her remarks, COWLSO Chairman, Mrs Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu said that she was confident that the discussions in the conference would elevate the status of women to "spring forth" and "stand out" in all spheres of life.
Sanwo-Olu, who urged the Federal Government to address Nigeria's porous borders and other security challenges, also said that women had a key role to play in tackling insecurity in the country.
According to her, it is time for women to lend their voice to the security issues in the country and not leave it only for the men.
"Everyone should be security conscious.
When you see something, say something and do something.
"From discussions at the conference, we were told that we have over 261 borders, out of which 137 are porous.
"To the wives of security personnel attending this conference, it is time to put the word out there and pass across the message to our spouses to ensure that this country is safe; to ensure that poverty is eradicated.
"It is only when poverty is eradicated; it is only when there is security that people will want to come to Nigeria and invest.
"Every woman here is a stakeholder with regards to security.
Our voice is what we have and we must use it constructively; to brainstorm, to speak out, and to stand out," she said.
Sanwo-Olu also urged women to embrace forward thinking mindset and unite to move forward.
At the ceremony, a posthumous award was presented to the late South-West APC Women Leader, Mrs Kemi Nelson, while other award recipients were the Wife of the First Civilian Governor of Lagos State, Alhaja Abimbola Jakande, and media personality, Funmi Iyanda.
Earlier at the Gala Night, several interesting prizes were won, while three lucky participants won the star prizes.

LASG, LASU partner Pittsburgh university to enhance manufacturing
The Lagos State Government has assured of its commitment to collaborate with the University of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, (USA) on implementation of the Manufacturing Assistance Centre (MAC).
The collaboration is to boost socio-economic and infrastructural development in the state.
Gov. Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State gave the assurance during a courtesy visit by the Chairman, University of Pittsburgh Department of Industrial Engineering, Pennsylvani (USA), Prof. Bopaya Bidinda, to the deputy governor's office at Alausa, Ikeja on Thursday.
Sanwo-Olu who was represented by his deputy, Dr Obafemi Hamzat said this would be done through the building of a manufacturing capacity in the state.
Expressing his delight on the proposed partnership, the governor said the state government was willing to learn from what had been done in Pittsburgh in terms of enhancing manufacturing in the community and getting people together.
According to him, Lagos state is ready for the partnership which will be achieved through capacity building for manufacturing concern.
"We are ready for this and we will make sure it comes to fruition.
We have the people that will push it, and this is how we can plant the tree of development and then pass it down.
" The governor also assured of more and bigger Assistance Centres, to enhance the community.
Similarly, the Special Adviser to the governor on Innovation and Technology, Mr Olatunbosun Alake explained that the MAC project which was implemented in the Lagos State University (LASU), and in partnership with the University of Pittsburg was to drive manufacturing skill capacity in the state.
Alake added that the Manufacturing Assistance Centre would have equipment for the students to learn manufacturing skills and boost manufacturing capacity in the state.
According to him, manufacturing is the bedrock of any economy.
The Vice Chancellor of LASU, Prof. Ibiyemi Olatunji-Bello said that the collaboration of LASU with Pittsburgh University which she described as a more experienced university with focus on manufacturing, would be of immense benefit to the people.
Olatunji-Bello noted that the collaboration would help turn unskilled people to skilled personnel.
She further added that it would give the people opportunities to develop their industries through the Assistance Centre.
"The centre will help the people of Epe and the Lagos East Senatorial Zone to drive development because the centre will be located in the Epe Campus of the University.
"It will also propel the emergence of more industries in the community, while more employment opportunities will be created," she said.
Earlier in his remarks, Bidinda, commended the vision of the state government on transformative change in the state and in the education system.
The professor said the collaboration was about reaching out to the community, for better living and enhancing the industrial and manufacturing sector in the state.
Bidinda noted that industrial engineering techniques made processes faster and better.
"It adds value to a process by making it work more efficiently and has been embraced in the developed countries.
"Also, the United Nation economics significantly benefits using the industrial engineering techniques," Bidinda explained.
He, however, urged government not just for financial and material support but also on policies to drive the initiative.
He also added that the Industrial Engineering Strategy would be in place in addition to the manufacturing assistance centre.
LASG provides functional, efficient and affordable internet service
The Lagos State Government says it is placing high premium on 6000 fibre optic cable, aimed at improving access to functional, efficient and affordable internet services.
Gov. Babajide Sanwo-Olu stated this on Tuesday at the 2022 Lagos state Infrastructure Maintenance And Regulatory Agency (LASIMRA) stakeholders' conference at Victoria Island, Lagos.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the Conference had the theme: "Transforming Lagos State into a Smart City Hub in Africa – The Government's Infrastructure Approach.
" Sanwo-Olu who was represented by his deputy, Dr Obafemi Hamzat, assured that his administration would leverage on the deployment of cutting edge technology to create improved and effective governance to the smart city project.
The governor noted that in achieving a 21st century economy, it required technology, especially the availability of an efficient and reliable internet service.
"The bedrock of a functional smart city is adequate and functional infrastructure.
"We are committed to improving the provision of adequate infrastructure to fast track the smart city project in order to optimise the limitless opportunities of a fully digitalised economy," he said.
According to him, the widespread application of technology will create opportunities and enhance socio-economic growth.
Sanwo-Olu recounted some of the successes of leveraging on technology in furtherance of building a smart Lagos city that was globally competitive.
He said that the re-launch of the state residents' card was part of the ongoing efforts to realise the smart city dream.
"The new residents card is an upgraded version of the former ordinary plastic to a smart card with embedded features for multipurpose uses in addition to identification purpose.
"The creation of a seamless payment system for our multimodal transport system with the launch of cowry card.
"And the digitisation of key government services, processes and procedures to improve efficiency, accountability and transparency," he said.
The governor called for support, partnership and collaboration of the private sector in order to transform the state to a smart city hub.
Mr Adeleke Adewolu, the Executive Commissioner (Stakeholder Management), Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) said that Lagos State occupied a unique position as the berth-point of the six submarine cables serving Nigeria.
''It is therefore geographically immune from the challenge faced by other states in the hinterlands vis-à-vis access to broadband capacity,'' he said.
According to him, Lagos state is also the "brain-box" of technology innovation with the several data centers it hosts.
The commissioner, however, said that Lagos state, like the rest of Nigeria, was still far from achieving its full ICT infrastructure potentials.
He said that Nigeria still had huge infrastructure deficit and needed over 120,000 additional kilometres of fiber, from current figure of less than 60,000 kilometres, and about 40,000 additional Base Transceiver Stations (BTS) to meet the NNBP targets by year 2025. Adewolu advised LASIMRA to assist in maximising opportunities from the NNBP for Lagos State by providing supportive permitting regimes.
"The constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria empowers states to approve physical infrastructure projects.
"Sadly, many States have weaponised this power for short-term revenue purposes.
This needs to change, and Lagos state needs to take the lead.
"The economic activities engendered by an increased broadband penetration coupled with the consequent increase in taxable revenues from increased business activities far outweigh the short term revenues which inhibit the accelerated rollout of broadband infrastructure," he said.
He encouraged LASIMRA to do more to streamline processes and ensure faster processing of infrastructure permits so as to encourage infrastructure deployment in the state.
Earlier in her address, Mrs Abisoye Coker-Odusote, the General Manager, LASIMRA, said that the theme of the programme was in line with efforts of the Lagos state government to position the state as a Smart City. She said that the theme was also in line with key initiatives around the utility infrastructural space and areas that could be leveraged by stakeholders to enhance the execution of the smart City initiatives.
Coker-Odusote said that government was playing the role of coordination and funder by bringing different interests and stakeholders together.
She said that the move was to provide funding for digital infrastructure and demonstrator projects by ensuring that common standards and regulations were in place.

In Career Planning
Pursuing the quintessential "at home" feeling at your home or by way of a career may well be elusive in this world. At one level you will always feel like you do not fit simply because this world is not really your home. Generations come and generations go. Civilizations rise and civilizations fall. Life is short. Houses quickly change hands and new names turn out to be easy to attach to office doors. And yet there is no point trying to make your brief stay on this planet as awkward as possible either.
Horses seem to be at home on the range together with the roaming buffalo and the infamously playful deer and antelope. There are, in fact, a wide variety of creatures that thrive in a pastoral or prairie environment. But not all of them do. Polar bears are few and far between. Penguins appear to have other preferences. Seals like the sea. Mountain goats…well, they tend to stay in the mountains. This is to say that people also feel at home in a wide variety of situations and that it is often possible to find a partial fit.
So, if you had a choice,where would you live? Do you prefer the city of the country? Are you interested in mostly staying close to where you grew up, or would you like to travel? What could you do to eventually make that dream a reality? And what would you really like to do with your life in terms of career? It is possible that at this point you really do not know. How do you suppose you could go about finding out? Where could you get more information in order to determine what you might be interested in? What are you good at? What have you been affirmed for? How could you go about developing your strengths into a marketable career?
These questions could help you determine where you might feel more at home and what you may find yourself doing there. Notice though that nothing has been said here about the importance of relationships when it comes to experiencing the "at home" experience. It takes effort to determine an appropriate career direction, energy to establish a home, and time to nurture meaningful relationships. Singing about the beauty of the range, or whatever setting you happen to enjoy, is somehow much more enjoyable when someone else is there to listen.

Consumers are buying personal care products with built-in smart technology because people are dumb. Procter & Gamble's Oral B Genius 9000 toothbrush comes with technology that tells the user whether he is brushing his teeth properly and what the weather is like outside. For people who love working out, the Elvie pelvic floor contraption functions as a personal trainer. Unilever is testing its Peggy smart clothes peg, which includes a built-in thermometer and hygrometer, in Australia. For women, there is the smart tampon, which is attached to a wire that connects to a sensor clipped to the underwear. This tampon alerts the user's phone whenever it is time for a new one.

Beauty And Personal Care Companies Create Ingredients As Good As Those From Nature
Manufacturers of beauty and personal care products are developing more nature-identical materials that can be used as ingredients in place of natural extracts, botanicals, and actives. These efforts are driven by concern about sustainability and depletion of natural resources, the need for reliable consistency, price, and other related factors. Among the more popular ingredients is the Erasa XEP-30 Extreme Line Lifting and Rejuvenation Concentrate, introduced in 2015 and winner of the 2016 Breakthrough Face Product award from totalbeauty.com, and created by BioMimetics Laboratories chief scientist Jules Zecchino. Helped by available extraction processes capable of creating new materials that uses and improves those available from nature, manufacturers create nature-identical ingredients, including antioxidants and preservatives with various applications, such as anti-aging skincare and haircare.

Princeton History ›
The Early Years ›
Governor Jonathan Belcher
His Excellency Jonathan Belcher, Esq., 1734. Mezzotint by John Faber (died 1756) after a painting by Richard Phillips (1681-1741). Gift of Samuel S. Dennis and Charles W. McAlpin, Class of 1888. Courtesy of Graphics Arts Collection, Princeton University Library
"Going Back to Belcher Hall"? Princeton barely missed bestowing on its iconic building a name that would have led to centuries of undergraduate jokes. Fortunately, Governor Jonathan Belcher's modesty spared the University such a fate.
Appointed Governor of the Province of New Jersey in 1747, Belcher arrived when the College of New Jersey's original 1746 charter was under attack by unsympathetic Anglicans. Belcher, a Congregationalist, had been alienated by religious developments at his alma mater, Harvard, and sympathized with the fledgling college in New Jersey. On September 14, 1748, Belcher granted a second charter, which expanded the trustees from 12 to 23, stipulating that the governor would chair the Board of Trustees and that four seats would be reserved for members of the New Jersey Council. He also added three leading Philadelphians, placating a group that had felt excluded. These appointments, by not specifying religious affiliation, made Princeton the first American college whose trustees were drawn from more than one denomination.
On November 9, 1748, at the College's first Commencement, the trustees conferred on Belcher Princeton's first honorary degree.
Belcher encouraged the trustees to raise funds for a college building and played a central role in its location. While Newark, Elizabeth and New Brunswick were initial favorites, Belcher threw his influence behind Princeton — "as near the center of the Province as any and a fine situation."
Just before the College moved to Princeton, Belcher donated his 474-volume library, a full-length portrait of himself, his carved and gilded coat-of-arms, a pair of terrestrial globes, and portraits of 10 kings and queens of England. In gratitude, the trustees asked his permission to name the new building in his honor. Instead, the governor persuaded them to name it Nassau Hall, "for the glorious King William the Third of the illustrious House of Nassau," who was highly regarded by dissenters as a champion of religious freedom and political liberty.
Although only six of Belcher's books have survived, he is still honored as the library's oldest benefactor. When Firestone Library was built in 1948, his coat of arms was carved in stone over the main entrance along with those of the University. Belcher's full-length portrait and the paintings of the 10 English monarchs were destroyed during the Revolution.

I Shall Continue To Be Fair, Equitable In All Appointments – President Buhari
President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday said he will continue to ensure equitable and fair distribution of appointments among the 36 states of the federation.
He made this promise during an interaction with a delegation of Akwa Ibom leaders and elders who visited him at the presidential villa in Abuja.
"I have taken note of your appreciation of appointments into the Federal Service from your state.
"I assure you that I shall continue to be fair and equitable in federal appointments to all states of the country," Buhari said.


When I think of the creation of great music, my mind naturally goes to jazz. I'm not a jazz musician but I appreciate it for what it is and what it represents. I wish that I had taken the time to really pursue learning how to play jazz guitar when I was younger. In my opinion it is the height of musical creativity and genius not just because I like it but because it points to something much more profound.
I was speaking to someone else about the complexity of jazz music and in addition to Miller's comment on the lack of resolve, he said what makes it wonderful is that it is layered in such a way that it creates dissonance. You know what dissonance is, right? It's that feeling when you hear a chord and wonder if they played the wrong notes. But the chord structure causes you to shiver, maybe bristle a bit because it's not the kind of chord that makes you feel nice inside. It's similar to the effect a minor chord has in creating mood but it's even better because it takes a chord that should resolve and layers one or two more notes to give it a much more complex feel.
But secondly, it points to a God who is not easily categorizable (is that a word?). He is the God who creates holy dissonance in our lives by adding notes that sometimes don't feel like that fit harmoniously. He is a God that gives us this holy sense that much of life doesn't resolve… at least for the here and now. Why does He do this? My suspicion is that the dissonance of this life is to lead us to the longing to be consonant with Him eternally. The lack of resolution in this life is to lead us to the deep resolution we will experience when we see Him face to face.
So the next time you listen to jazz (and not what's called "smooth jazz"), listen to someone love something in order for you to love someone greater yourself.
Yep. that pretty much nails it. Loving my life and hating it, too.
Simultaneous longing, sadness, comfort and joy — knowing I am not where I'm supposed to be; not yet HOW God created me to be (Holy); comfort knowing He's done all the heavy lifting; and joy knowing "this" all has purpose – for His Glory!
Rats! I forgot The Bird! Great thoughts Ty! Glad you're gonna be a part of the vocation class in January!

On behalf of Jacobs & Dow, LLC posted in Drunk Driving Accidents on Wednesday, February 18, 2015.
Connecticut readers might be interested to learn that, according to a report issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, nearly one-third of all traffic-related fatalities in 2012 were the result of drunk driving collisions. In raw numbers, 10,322 people were killed in 2012 in such crashes. According to a 2010 study titled The Economic Impact of Motor Vehicle Crashes, the annual cost to Americans from alcohol-related accidents is in excess of $59 billion.
Motorcyclists, young people and individuals with prior drunk driving convictions are most at risk to be involved in fatal drunk driving collisions. According to the NHTSA report, 32 percent of drivers with a blood alcohol content of .08 percent or greater who were involved in fatal crashes were 21 to 24 years old. Twenty-seven percent were 25 to 34.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has made a number of recommendations regarding the prevention of fatal drunk driving accidents. The CDC has cited papers suggesting that community-based efforts toward drunk driving prevention, court-ordered substance abuse treatment or an increase in alcohol taxation, among other measures, may be effective. At the individual level, people can designate a driver, call a cab or offer alcohol-free drinks at parties.
If friends are impaired, individuals can take their keys. Those who have been injured in car accidents with drunk drivers may suffer lifelong consequences. An attorney familiar with personal injury law may be able to help injured parties by investigating the facts of the crash and determining which individuals or entities may have liability for damages. An attorney may be able to negotiate settlement with insurers or file a complaint to initiate a lawsuit for lost wages, medical expenses, pain and suffering or other damages.

"This Is Ground Zero… If We Can't Win in Arizona, What Expectation Do We Have that We're Going to Win Anywhere Else?" – Attorney David Clements
By Joe Hoft
Published November 28, 2022 at 8:15am
Warriors in Arizona are standing up against the corrupted 2022 election results in the state. The current results are impossible and Americans know it.
There is no way that the 2022 election results in Maricopa County should be certified. Certification should be based on results that were obtained through well-controlled election processes colated within certified and working machines by non-biased election workers.
There simply are too many corrupted activities recorded to date in this election in Maricopa County to legitimately certify the current results for Arizona.
BREAKING: Maricopa County Response to AZ AG Materially Conflicts with Instructions on Election Day – But They Announce They Will Certify Rigged Election TOMORROW Anyway
These results are uncertifiable.
Starting on Friday a group of patriots made the decision to go to the Arizona Capitol to protest this 2022 stolen election. The crowd was sparse because many were told to stay away from the capitol by GOP leaders who evidently were concerned about another Jan 6 set up by the corrupt tyranical government.
One individual who was there drove to Arizona from New Mexico, attorney David Clements.
Clements joined Joe Hoft on his radio show on Friday to discuss what was going on in Arizona and why he was there peacefully protesting.
Clements shared the following:
We're sending the message right now that this is something we're going to grow. We're not leaving until we get a new election…
We've lost our country because of our addiction to comfort. Here we are battling Black Friday. We're battling impulses to go back to the old trance of comfort when we need them to stand firm…
…This is terraine that we have to win. Arizona like most people know, there's no doubt about the outcome being faulty. There's no doubt about the maladministration about the elections here.
Some places, like maybe Nebraska, you've been hoodwinked into believing you've got no problems with the elections or perhaps you're in the place where you've got a popular incumbant so no one's really questioning the election results. But here we're talking about race where we have Kari Lake…we know what the real result was and yet we were deprived of that result through all kinds of fraud.
So, this is ground zero. And if we can't win in Arizona, what expectation do we have that we're going to win anywhere else?

Dy CM Sisodia thanks Delhi for AAP's win in MCD polls, says 'world's biggest and most negative' party defeated
By Press Trust of India on 3:07 pm December 7, 2022 No Comment
New Delhi: Senior AAP leader Manish Sisodia on Wednesday thanked the people of Delhi for voting his party to victory in the MCD polls and said it was their mandate that helped it defeat the "world's biggest and most negative party".
While the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has crossed the majority mark of 126, the BJP has won 99, according to the latest State Election Commission figures. The Congress was lagging far behind, winning just seven seats.
Of the 250 wards under the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD), the AAP has won 131 seats and was ahead in three. The BJP, which exit polls predicted would suffer a massive defeat, put up a spirited fight and is leading in four, numbers available at 2 pm showed.
"Heartfelt gratitude to the people of Delhi for trusting Aam Aadmi Party in Delhi MCD By defeating the world's biggest and most negative party, the people of Delhi have made a hardcore honest and working @ArvindKejriwalji win," Sisodia said in a tweet in Hindi, targeting the BJP.
"For us, this is not just a victory, it is a big responsibility," he said.
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is expected to address people after the results. The high-stakes election was held on December 4, sealing the electoral fate of 1,349 candidates in voting machines.
A voter turnout of 50.48 per cent was registered in the elections.
The results of this election may have ramifications beyond the national capital.

A Sweet Deal: How Amira Reinvented Itself as a Drug Discovery Engine
Bruce V. Bigelow
@bvbigelow
Xconomy San Diego —
The sale of Amira Pharmaceuticals will likely go down as one of the standout life sciences deals of 2011—it certainly ranks as one of the biggest payouts in San Diego, where Amira was founded in 2005.
But what may be more significant than hitting the bell in the strongman game at the biotech carnival is the way Amira approached the deal—and how the buyout has opened the way to an intriguing new business model for life sciences startups.
Luke already has explained how Amira beat the odds when New York's Bristol-Myers Squibb (NYSE: BMY) agreed in July to pay $325 million in upfront cash, and another $150 million in anticipated milestone payments. It's unusual these days when a big pharmaceutical writes a check that big for a six-year-old startup whose lead drug candidate has barely completed early stage trials.
Amira also kept some other drug candidates out of the deal. Some went to a new San Diego biotech called Panmira Pharmaceuticals, which is continuing the development work under CEO Hari Kumar, who was previously Amira's chief business officer. Another important program, which was the focus of a partnership Amira had with GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), was spun into a new standalone company.
In other words, Amira worked to find a good home for every important drug in its pipeline. This doesn't happen in many buyouts, as the acquiring pharmaceutical company is often interested in one or two drugs in development, and the rest get relegated to the "no more resources" pile.
Peppi Prasit
Since then, Amira co-founder (and San Diego Xconomist) Peppi Prasit has raised the curtain on another life sciences startup, Inception Sciences, which was conceived as a kind of mothership for spinning out new drugs. The idea was to create an incubator-type holding company that would enable Amira's drug discovery group to hatch new drug development programs. Prasit, Jilly Evans, and John Hutchinson, who were the scientific founders of Amira, would lead the effort to identify new pathways as well as potential drug compounds for these new targets.
Under this new business model, each group of new drug candidates would be organized as a separate development program within different business entities. For venture firms, investing would be like ordering from the à la carte menu, giving investors an equity stake in a specific drug program—without the general and administrative baggage that typically goes with a biotech acquisition. As the drug candidates of each program advance to … Next Page »

Deep ruby in color. Vibrant raspberry, Santa Rosa plum and baking spice aromas bound from the glass. A juicy mouthfeel is supported by Bing cherry and pomegranate, developing across the mid-palate to fine grain tannins on the finish.
