Mapping the Future
Perry's perspective Commentary by East Cleveland's M. LaVora Perry
Knitting Together A group of knitters in the Buckeye-Shaker neighborhood have transformed into friends in recent months. Eleanor Bergholz, 69, started the knitting circle in September at the Harvey Rice branch of the Cleveland Public Library. With outside temperatures creeping upward, Bergholz polled members of the knitting circle to see if they needed a break over spring and summer. Neighbors from the Buckeye-Shaker area — which includes the Buckeye, Larchmere, Shaker Square and Woodland Hills neighborhoods — begin talking about their community by drawing important places on a map during a workshop last month sponsored by Neighborhood Connections.

Sterling Scouts in Need of New Leadership CENTRAL - La Queta Worley started attending Girl Scout meetings as a volunteer eight years ago. Now, Worley is leader of the troop based out of the Sterling branch of Cleveland Public Library and is looking to transfer the troop she loves into the hands of someone new. Worley attended her first meeting while taking care of her sister, who was a Brownie and wanted to become a Girl Scout. It wasn't long before Worley's role changed from safeguarding her sister to something more. She took on the role of assistant leader in 2005, and then became troop leader in 2007. "I just started coming because I didn't like the way the leaders were conducting the group," Worley said. "It didn't seem like they really knew what they wanted or what they were doing, so that's why I started coming on a weekly basis." As she started to attend more often, Worley began to take steps to change how the troop was run. She made sure the girls were more of a

presence in the community by getting them out of the library to sell cookies, candy, magazines and more.
"The Cuyahoga Metropolitan Housing Authority has a grant to pay for a lot of things for us such as transportation, camp, snacks every week," Worley said. After almost 10 years with the Girl Scouts, though, Worley is looking to pass on her role as leader to someone else.
Congrats to Trina Johnson, of Collinwood, who won two vouchers to the Cleveland International Film Festival for being the first to fill out and return the Readership Survey in last month's paper.
"I need somebody that's outgoing, crafty and patient," Worley said. The dedication to the troop has to be there, too, she said.

A regular column by Neighborhood Connections staff
Thursday, June 6 Location to be determined
Do you know Neighborhood Connections? We ignite the power of everyday people to create, together, an extraordinary world right where we live. This year we celebrate 10 years of giving small grants to Cleveland and East Cleveland residents, who work together on anything from community gardens to homegrown music festivals. I wanted to take a moment to introduce some of our staff. We are a small organization working across the city and we could not do the work we do without committed staff members. Meet Cynthia Lewis, Neighborhood Connections Grants Manager and Office Administrator. Cynthia recently celebrated 10 years with the program — meaning she has been with Neighborhood Connections since it began in 2003. She has overseen the management of more than 2000 grants. Cynthia's role extends beyond the grants program, too. She supports much of the other community building work organized by Neighborhood Connections. Congratulations to Cynthia for her dedication, commitment and passion to grassroots leaders and groups in Cleveland and East Cleveland! Neighborhood Connections also wants to thank Sue Wolpert for all the work she did in planning and implementing the start of our 10-year anniversary. Sue, who recently moved on from her role at Neighborhood Connections, brought great energy, vision and creativity to Neighborhood Connections. She also catalyzed a strong start to our anniversary celebration year. She designed and organized many successful events and gatherings, including: the Connecting 4 Community gathering for 75 grassroots leaders in 2012; book groups throughout the city that introduced dozens of people to "Abundant Community: Awakening the Power of Families and Neighborhoods," a book by Peter Block and John McKnight about building stronger communities using everyone's gifts; a wonderful gathering with Peter Block and Olivia Saunders about building an abundant economy this past February. We thank Sue and wish her all the best!

NEIGHBORHOOD FAITH look i ng u p A regular column by Natalie Rudd
No Place Like Home A co-worker just walked in my office and said, "It is nice to have you back!" to which I replied, "It is good to be home!" You see, I started another job this past January, but it wasn't actually a new job, because I had worked in the same department back in 2006. I left in 2008 for a couple of years to explore other career opportunities. When my previous boss approached me about coming back to the department, I leaped at the opportunity because I believed in the work we did and I enjoyed working with the team. Even though I had been gone for a couple of years, our mission of reaching out to the community had never really left my heart and there was always a desire to go back. Sometimes in life, we venture off to new and exciting prospects; we explore opportunities that can take us far away from home. We meet new people and learn new things, hopefully growing both personally and professionally. Other times, we venture off away from home — not for happy or good reasons, but because of pain, heartache or disappointment. Perhaps we have wandered off to places that God has not intended for us to go and find ourselves in places we really don't want to be — not sure how we got there and more importantly, unsure how to get back home.
How can we come back home when we have wandered off? First, seek God's forgiveness. Many times we mend broken relationships just by saying the words "I am sorry" and really meaning it. When we do that with God, we are always welcomed back and He restores our broken relationship with Him. Second, nurture a forgiving heart. Many times we build walls constructed of unforgiving bitterness and anger. These walls block the path that leads us home. As we seek forgiveness, we have to also be forgiving of others, and of ourselves and our own frailties and failings. We must remain mindful that people may hurt us and disappoint us, but we have the option to choose forgiveness and mend the broken relationship. As people of faith, we are called to be the peacemakers. We are the ones called to take the first step toward forgiveness — even when the other person has wronged us. Finally, accept in your heart that no matter what you have done or how far you have wandered off, God is always waiting for you to come home. He is always waiting with open arms. He has loved you so much that He gave His only son for you to be able to come home. I love the story of the prodigal son in the Bible and how his father celebrated his homecoming. Now understand, this son was pitiful. He took his inheritance while his father was still alive and squandered it on whatever he wanted without any regard to his family. And even though he disrespected his father and his family, when he came to his senses, his heart told him to go back home — for there is no place like home. Aren't you glad we have a God, who has loved us with an everlasting love? He is always waiting with open arms to welcome us home. I am, and that is why I love Him so.

Resident Publishes Life Story By Lila Mills FAIRFAX – Carol Jones grew up in a house full of trouble, but she found peace. And now, she hopes her story — documented in the new book "Letting Go of Yesterday's Pain" — encourages others to find better days ahead. Jones' church friend Vivian Cox wrote the book, which was published in December. Jones had a book signing at the Barnes and Noble bookstore in University Circle earlier this year. She said she wanted to tell her story to inspire others who are struggling to "seek refuge." "Don't try and do it alone," she said. Jones' story includes family feuds, lies, murder and abuse. She writes, "For years, I felt the claustrophobia of being trapped in my life's experiences." Her father left the family when Jones was young, and she struggled with her mother. By her senior year in high school, she was pregnant. Years later, exhausted, Jones took her
son to Wade Lagoon, just in front of the Cleveland Museum of Art. As her son played, she sat down on a bench and cried. Then she heard the words, "God loves you." The man who said those words became Jones' pastor. At the time "church was foreign to my nature," Jones said. But her growing faith led her on a journey from Cleveland to college and then to a commune in Michigan before leading her back home to Cleveland. Jones said she was driven by "desperation for change." "I didn't like yesterday," she said. In Michigan, she married and had three more children. They lived in a trailer without electricity. 'We had a wood stove," Jones remembered. But, she said, even though she and her family lived without, "we lived well." Jones plans to write more in the future. She wants to focus on healing and idea of moving ahead.
Express Yourself Heroes My 17-year-old middle son was walking home from school one day when he observed a man tussling with a woman sitting in the bus stop. The man was trying to snatch the woman's purse. No one else stepped up to assist the woman. My son sized up the man and did a quick scan to see if the man had a weapon. Then my son stepped in and intervened. He walked up and told the man to leave the lady alone or he would call the police. When the man realized that my son was willing and able to back up his words, and that the scene was causing other people to take notice, he angrily stomped off, leaving the woman alone. Buckeye-Shaker's Elaine Siggers posted this story about her personal hero, her son, on her new blog at http://wordsthatlastalifetime.wordpress. com/2013/02/05/everyday-heroes/. Glenville's Cozetta Ragland took to the streets with a video camera and asked folks to respond to Elaine's post. See what people had to say at www.youtube.com/NeighborhoodVoice.

"It really boils down to this: that all life is interrelated," Martin Luther King Jr. once said. "We are all caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied to a single garmet of destiny." Many in Greater University Circle are building more trusting relationships across racial, socioeconomic and institutional-community lines. They know our destinies are tied; we are stronger together than we are apart. This is one of their stories...
Where Art and Community Intersect Architect Mark Lakeman stood inside Trinity Cathedral last month and spoke like a preacher — bringing a message of hope and inspiration to a capacity crowd of about 160 Clevelanders who came to hear him speak. "Even though we are surrounded by so many disparaging stories, our hearts are still beating," Lakeman said as he introduced the citizen-driven movement called City Repair that began in a Portland, Ore., neighborhood 17 years ago. City Repair's mission is to educate and inspire people to "creatively transform the places where they live." "American neighborhoods have the lowest number of public gathering spots and the highest number of violent incidents," Lakeman told the crowd. The Sunnyside neighborhood in Portland heard this in 1996, he continued, and painted a huge sunflower on a street intersection in their neighborhood. The intersection slowed traffic, drew neighbors together for block parties and has since spawned a movement to paint intersections in neighborhoods across the country. The painted intersections are meant to create a village atmosphere where people "don't have to talk about finding common ground because they walk on it every day," Lakeman said. Neighborhood Connections, the grassroots grants program that publishes Neighborhood Voice, brought Lakeman and Marisha Auerbach to Cleveland for two days to talk about the movement and train groups of Cleveland neighbors to transform spaces in their communities. Residents from several Cleveland neighborhoods — including Central and BuckeyeShaker — met the day after Lakeman's talk at Trinity Cathedral for a workshop with him and Auerbach, a Shaker Heights native who now works with City Repair. Several neighborhood groups, maybe as many as four or five, will work to transform intersec-

tions in their neighborhoods later this year. At the workshop, resident groups began to discuss their ideas. "Many, many kinds of places define a neighborhood," Lakeman told them. If a neighborhood has a great public space, "people actually want to come outside." "What good is freedom of assembly without a place to assemble?" he added. In Portland, in order to do an intersection-painting project, 80 percent of the neighbors living within two blocks of the intersection must approve it. But, Lakeman noted, there has never been an approval rate lower than 96 percent. About 11 neighbors from the Buckeye-Shaker community — which includes the Buckeye, Shaker Square and Larchmere neighborhoods — had an energetic conversation about the possibilities. They used a large map to mark special places in the area. As they did, they noticed the RTA Rapid tracks running along Shaker Boulevard separate Buckeye-Shaker into two different areas.
Residents use construction paper to create what they would like to see at intersections in their communities. The group that gathered to talk about the Central neighborhood shows off its design for the East 55th Street-Woodland AvenueKinsman Road intersection. Photos by Mark Silverberg.
"There is a difference between Larchmere and Buckeye," said Buckeye resident Damien Ware. "That is a reality we have to pay attention to." Larchmere resident Jesse Honsky noted the train draws neighbors from both sides of the tracks. "The train is where all of our neighborhoods come together," she said. Ware noted the bridges over the tracks are not used often and wondered if that could be a good place to paint an intersection. Dawn Arrington, also a Buckeye resident, noted the intersection of East 121st Street and Shaker Boulevard is home to Kossuth Park. The park could be a gathering place if neighbors transformed that intersection, she said. "We're kind of talking about reclaiming this space that divides us [the tracks and bridges] and making it a connector," Honsky said as the discussion wrapped up.
Resident groups from Buckeye-Shaker, Central and DetroitShoreway will continue to meet and plan the intersection painting work.

NEIGHBORHOOD EDUCATION A Pot O' Gold at Friendly Inn Settlement By Andrea Levin
CENTRAL - "Are leprechauns real?" a curious second-grader asked me as I strolled around the St. Patrick's Day themed Family Night at Friendly Inn Settlement Inc. on March 12.
"I believe it is imperative to educate children when they are young about the importance of a nutritious diet," said Salvi, a graduate of The Ohio State University with a degree in nutrition.
The holiday-themed event culminated the Healthy Kids, Healthy Communities program taught by Mallory Salvi, an AmeriCorps member at Children's Hunger Alliance. The curriculum combines 12 hands-on nutrition education — or Food Folks — lessons, in conjunction with 20 hourlong moderate to vigorous physical education activities lessons — called CATCH (Coordinated Approach to Childhood Health and Physical Activity) lessons.
Salvi is looking forward to teaching the curriculum again at a new site this spring, but will definitely miss the warm smiles from the staff and children that greeted her at Friendly Inn Settlement Inc.
Andrea Levin is an AmeriCorps member at the Children's Hunger Alliance. Learn more about Children's Hunger Alliance at www.childrenshungeralliance.org.
About 20 children dashed into a magical realm of fun that Tuesday afternoon. Salvi decked out what was formerly a classroom with fun activity stations. Children and volunteers visited activity stations, including a pin-the-shamrockon-the-leprechaun station, an arts and crafts table where children illustrated pictures of their favorite fruits and vegetables on a pot of gold cut out, and a Pot O' Gold beanbag toss game. Other learning activities included holiday themed word searches — a Friendly Inn favorite. For the nutritious snack portion, a healthy and hearty taco station was erected. With help from AmeriCorps member Brittany Weisbarth, students created their own snack from a variety of fresh vegetables and truly "tasted the rainbow" with a colorful fruit platter.
Filmmaking Class in Glenville By Lonnie Bray-El GLENVILLE – Some of us share a vision of the Cleveland and East Cleveland area becoming a powerhouse for film production. We've traveled enough to know and to appreciate the wealth of talent and other resources we have right here in our own neighborhoods. I recently designed a five-week film course for students at the Glenville Recreation Center, 680 E. 113th St. Our course says film skills are fast, easy-to-learn, marketable skills that can be acquired in five weeks. Our program is a hands-on education in the use of camera equipment, lights, editing systems, story-writing format and key job functions within Hollywood's production structure. Watching students' minds grow is fun and rewarding for me. That's why I enjoy teaching. But getting minds to grow is challenging, and that's where I could use a little more help,
which is why I am pursuing a doctorate in psychology. I'll utilize my psychology education in private community practice, as well as to develop complex characters and direct for cinema. At Glenville Recreation Center, we were fortunate enough to meet several respectful, would-be film students eager to get started making movies. We are all excited. We feel like whatever we do well is best done within our community and we are all eager to show our community's polish.
Glenville resident Lonnie Bray-El is a screenwriter/filmmaker, Gongfu master, chess expert, sword-fighting expert, nutritionist and doctoral candidate in psychology. He is also managing director of the Ohio-based film company, Angel Touch Films, and a member of the Neighbor Up Network. Learn more about Neighbor Up at www.neighborhoodvoice.com/get-involved
Family Center Supports Youth By Lila Mills HOUGH- Lajean Ray is proud of the young people in her neighborhood and is working to make sure they get the support they need to succeed. Ray is the executive director of Catholic Charities' Fatima Family Center, 6600 Lexington Ave. The family center offers a variety of programs for children ages 5 to 18. Programs include an afterschool teen leadership group and a summer camp.
The event was a great success. And the best part of all? Children's Hunger Alliance provided shoes, with funding provided by Sisters of Charity Foundation of Cleveland. By the end of Family Night, shoeboxes filled the room and soon after, the squeaking of brand new shoes rang throughout the hallways. Children's Hunger Alliance works to ensure all children are fed regular and nutritious meals and develop lifelong healthy eating habits. The organization does this by providing children nutritious meals, increasing easy access to nutritious food and educating children to make healthy food choices and engage in physical activity. With obesity and childhood hunger devastating our communities throughout the country, the mission of Children's Hunger Alliance is critical.
Neighborhood Voice
"If you give kids positive things to do, if you invest in them, the returns are wonderful," Ray said. "They are proud and they invest in themselves." On May 22, the center plans to host a celebration show highlighting young talent. Members of The Inlet Dance Theatre have been working with
Fatima youth this year so there will be a dance performance. There will also be a CD release party for children who have recorded music with Glenville Dee Jay Doc Harrill. This summer teens in Fatima's Teen Camp will explore a variety of career paths by going on field trips. One of their first stops? Local funeral homes to learn about mortuary science. Every Friday, the teens will visit a local college. Younger children in Fatima's Summer Camp will swim at Cleveland State University and study art at Hough's The Rainey Institute. "You've got to expose children to a wide variety of things so they can figure out what they like," Ray said. Want more information about the Fatima Family Center? Call 216-391-0505.

Film Festival Wraps Up By Justin Rutledge
A regular column by Lori Ingram
Freedom Seeds I was moved to tears by the issue of Shawken News that was inserted into Neighborhood Voice last month and produced by stalwart, hopeful and brave students from Shaw High School and Hawken School. I wonder how hard is the fight for equality going to get? What will be the prize? It inspired poetry that seldom comes to me now. Reading the News I remembered what started me to Write poetry in the first place… In the '70s Hippie newspaper For Socialists I delivered and As I walked away I heard fire trucks A deafening explosion Rocked the street I wobbled away-Headquarters Annihilated So I changed my mind… And went to Kent State Where my changed mind Changed my name Learned a Black Identity From freedom Fighters And Last Poets — Harambee — And wrote until my fingers fell Off in ecstasy with the page Of fallen Heroes and how to Wear the new Hair 'Fros — Were ghosts of KSU killings Forever gonna make us Revolutionaries? I became one, and married one, and Buried one, and gave birth to two… Many have died to sow Freedom Seeds In the dirt — but the whole damn crop Failed We All look around Still hungry… Kids in the Cafeteria having A Black/White food fight With none picking up the Crumbs… Just too much bloody dirt in it…

The 37th Cleveland International Film Festival wrapped up last month with record-breaking attendance. There were 93,235 admissions during the 12-day festival — that's a 9 percent increase from last year. I attended the festival and learned something new about the film industry. When the subject of great names in cinematic history comes up in conversation, people tend to think of actors first, then director and maybe the screenwriter. The documentary "Casting By" shines a spotlight on a job that might be as important as the actors and directors but gets much less notoriety — the casting director. The film pays special attention to casting heavyweights Lynn Stalmaster, Juliet Taylor and, the one who tops them all, the late Marion Dougherty. Dougherty started her first casting office in 1965. Dougherty's tactic of casting from her gut stood in stark contrast from the typecasting
P oet ' s C orner
ways of Hollywood at the time. The talent she found was often not the easiest on the eyes and didn't quite fit the initial image of the character. But what Dougherty saw in the actors often put the actors — and subsequently the movie itself — over the edge. Some of the actors Dougherty brought to the limelight were Jon Voight, Dustin Hoffman and John Travolta, among others. Though Dougherty and those like her placed some of the day's greatest actors in their greatest roles, the plight of the casting director remained rough. They struggled to get recognition; casting directors fought to get listed in the credits of a film and to get an award for their work included in the Academy Awards. "Casting By" went deep into the role and effect of the casting director in the movie industry today. For more information on the film, visit the Facebook page at www.facebook.com/castingbymovie.

She Likes to Swallow Blood I hold her tightly While the darkness creeps in slowly. My arms can't protect her From nightmares, her past, And the clouds approaching Laying restless from awaiting Revelations. The ticking clock syncs Our breath and tears. Because she cries silently, Weeping pillows wet Is a haunt that makes me hold her firm Never feeling her pain from the day before. I never see the bruise and tears through the beauty Of her smile. The strength of her forced laughter And grace, because she swallows her own blood

Nancy Weymouth Halbrooks By Katie Montgomery Drawing inspiration from nature is a specialty of Larchmere resident and celebrated artist Nancy Weymouth Halbrooks. It starts with photos she takes in the field, which then become the basis of drawings and paintings in her studio. The subject for much of her work? Crows! "Since I was a child, I've been intrigued by crows," Halbrooks said. "To me, they represent intelligence and community. For example, crows use 'tools' to get things done and have fun. They find sticks to get things out of small places; drop nuts in front of cars to break them open and make use of jar lids to 'sled' down hills." "And from an artistic viewpoint, I'm fascinated by the dramatic silhouettes they create in natural settings," she added. Halbrooks moved to Ohio from Seattle in 1997, and her work bridges both locations. She has curated events three times at Bumbershoot, a large multi-arts performance event every Labor Day at the Seattle Center. Her last exhibition had a definite NEO flair. "I received a grant to produce a body of work based on my first year in Northeast Ohio," she said. "The exhibit had a grid of 108 paintings of birds and trees from this area." Halbrooks' work has found its way into exhibitions across the country — from Vermont to Washington. Locally, she exhibits work with the Guild of Nature Artists, most
recently at the Beck Center for the Arts in Lakewood. And, because she is an adjunct faculty member at Cleveland State University, her work was included in the university's Faculty Show. For a closer look at her work, visit www.nancyhalbrooks.com also in Ohio where Halbrooks achieved a life goal — receiving tenure at Lorain County Community College — teaching art and running the art department for about 200 students. "I love teaching," she said. "The biggest reward outside of doing my own work is working with young adults and their creative process. After retirement, my dream would be to simply work on my art and work with artists on creative process. "But that will have to wait a while," she added with a smile. Halbrooks and her partner Jan Zorman, facilities director at the Nature Center at Shaker Lakes, moved to the Larchmere neighborhood eight years ago and fell in love with the neighborhood.
Knitting Together continued from Page 1 To get the group going, Bergholz originally asked a couple of women she knew if they would be helpers — Betty Durham, 69 and Craig McDonald, 61. Other than the start-up team of three knitters, "everybody else was a brand new knitter," said Bergholz. Now the group has grown to the point where some members have gone from being new knitters to helpers. Attendance grows by word of mouth and with the help of a flyer available at the library's front desk. When I visited the group recently, Merras Brown, 66, sat knitting what she described as her "very first project." She joined the circle after seeing the flyer. She thought: "I've been wanting to learn to knit for years. I think I'll come!" Vania Ewell, 24, had her own story to tell. She learned to knit at the library. "I made a hat for my dad and a scarf for a friend of mine; it was red with sparkles. Those were my first projects," she said with pride. Meanwhile, Lynette Wright, 62, seemed to be making a statement by wearing an outfit and accessories that featured black and white. "That's my favorite color [combination]," she explained. However, she broke out of her comfort zone to knit a purple scarf for a friend.
"This is her favorite color," said Wright, "so I'm trying it. But I usually make just black and white things." So far, Wright, who has been coming to the group since its start, has knitted cell phone cases, scarves and a hat. "I really do enjoy this class," she said, "because our instructors are so knowledgeable and helpful. They help us with everything." Craig McDonald and Chelsea Stone, 37, mentioned that members have talked about meeting outside of the knitting group to have coffee together. Everyone agreed that an unexpected benefit of their group is making new friends. That much was clear from the laughter and smiles that filled the room. If the possibility of new friendships doesn't bring you to the knitting circle, as it heats up outside, maybe Bergholz's invitation will: "Come knit at the library where it's air conditioned!"
The knitting circle meets Mondays from 5-7 p.m. at the Cleveland Public Library, Harvey Rice branch, 11535 Shaker Boulevard. Call 216-623-7046 or send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.
"It's so convenient both to work and to walk for a cup of coffee," she said. "There's such a charm to it."

An efficient one-pot, two-step solution-phase synthetic method was developed to synthesize twenty-three 2-amino-indole-3-carboxamides (3) from 2-halonitrobenzene (1) or heterocyclic analogous and cyanoacetamides (2). In this sequence, first, intermediate 2-cyano-2-(2-nitrophenyl)-acetamide (4) was generated under basic condition via SNAr reaction; after direct addition of hydrochloric acid solution, FeCl3, and Zn powder, indole 3 was generated via reduction/cyclization process.
The indole fragment is one of the most important heterocycles for drug discovery, with a broad range of biological activities. In addition, many endogenous biologically active substances, such as tryptophan, 5-hydrotryptophan, melatonin, and brassinin, and many clinical used drugs, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory indomethacin, antiemetic ondansetron, and antimigraine sumatriptan, are indole based. For example, in the recent discovery of new p53/MDM2/MDMX antagonist for cancer treatment, the indole unit is critical for binding MDM2 and MDMX as a mimic of tryptophan residue (Figure 1).1–3
2-Aminoindoles, on the other hand, are key fragments in a multitude of biologically active compounds including IKβ-kinase,4 phosphodiesterase-V inhibitors,5 hypotensives, diuretics, and appetite suppressants,6 and many other important biological active compounds. Notably, the 2-aminoindole chemotype is aromatic planar and comprises two adjacent hydrogen bond donors to interact with a protein target (Figure 2). Amidine moieties can widely interact with acid side chains in proteins (Asp, Glu), however also form pi-pi interactions with aromatic side chains. Therefore amidines are very often found in druglike molecules. On the other hand, the strong basic character of this functional group makes permeation through biological membranes very difficult, and oral bioavailability and blood brain barrier penetration is rarely achieved. Therefore prodrug approaches are often used to solve these issues, for example, in the recently approved anticoagulant dabigatran, an amidine carbamate prodrug.7–9 Another successful approach is the incorporation of the basic amidine moiety into aromatic heterocycles.10,11 By delocalizing the amidinemoiety in an aromatic scaffold, the charge is partially delocalized and the basicity can be adjusted by the introduction of appropriate substituents and ring. With these significant observations, it is very attractive to develop practical and efficient methods of generating a diversity of 2-aminoindole derivatives.
Herein, we would like to report a novel, straightforward, and one-pot synthesis of highly substituted 2-amino (hetero)-indole-3-carboxamides. 2-Amino-indole-3-carboxamides in the past have been synthesized by several step processes, for example, by [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement and intramololecular cyclization from N-arylhydroxamic acids and malononitrile,15 by nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction16 with malondinitrile or cyanoaceticacid esters, followed by reduction (eq 1, Scheme 1),17–24 or by a four-component reaction of pyridine or 3-picoline, chloroacetonitrile, malononitrile, and aromatic aldehydes,25 by the Nenitzescu reaction of primary ketene aminals and 1,4-benzo-quinones,26 by the reaction of 2-haloanilines and substituted acetonitriles,27–29 and other methods.30 Our synthetic approach involves a nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction of a suitable o-halo-nitro-(hetero)aromate with a cyanoacetamide and a subsequent reductive cyclization. To the best of our knowledge, no such transformation has been described in a one-pot manner. Together with our recently described experimentally very simple one-pot access to hundreds of cyanoacetamides,31–33 we believe this is a valuable procedure of general interest to medicinal and organic chemists.
Generally, cyanoacetic acid derivatives react with 2-halonitrobenzene in a nucleophilic aromatic substitution; then, the intermediates were isolated and reduced under different conditions, commonly, Zn/HOAc, Fe/HOAc, or Pd/C/H2, etc., to generate 2-aminoindole esters; finally, these esters would be saponified and coupled with appropriate amines to generate corresponding 2-aminoindole amides, although no such precedents have been reported yet. Herein, a convenient two-step, one-pot method is reported to prepare 2-aminoindole-3-carboxamide (3) from 2-fluoronitrobenzene or its heterocycle analogous and cyanoacetamides (eq 2, Scheme 1).
In an easily and gram-scale accessible model reaction, n-butylcyanoacetamide (1a) was reacted to find the optimal conditions. Sodium hydride was selected as a base in this reaction because it is a strong base with weak nucleophilicity. First, sodium hydride in excess was added to a solution of cyanoacetamides (1a) in DMF. After 10 min, 2-fluoronitrobenzene (2a) was added, and the reaction becomes deep purple. After 1 h, the corresponding substitution intermediate (4a) was monitored with LC-MS. Next, 1 N HCl was added to the reaction to acidify the excess NaH; then, FeCl3 (3 equiv) and Zn (10 equiv) were added.34 The reduction conditions were optimized and different Fe/Zn ratios or iron powder for example did not give the expected products. After 1 h at 100 °C, the desired 2-aminoindole product was isolated with high yield (Scheme 2).
Next different cyanoacetamide (1a–u, Scheme 3) and different 2-halonitrobenzene (2a–e, Scheme 4) were treated under this condition. All these reactions work fine to afford desired 2-aminoindole products (3-1–3–23) in good yields. It is interesting to note that unprotected alcohol in cyanoacetamide (1h) give good reaction as well. Different heterocycles, such as, indole (1p), morpholine (1c, i, s), piperazine (1q, r), pyridine (1o), are compatible with the reaction. Alkene (1d) or alkyne (1g) functionalities can be introduced without problems and might be of value for further transformations. Bis-cyanoacetamide (1u) reacts smoothly with two equivalents of 2-fluoronitrobenzene (1a) to afford the corresponding compounds (3–23) in good yields.
In addition to 2-fluoronitrobenzene derivatives, some heterocyclic starting materials, such as 2-fluoro-3-nitropyridine (2d) and 4-chloro-3-nitropyridine (2e), offer easy access to pyrrolo-[3,2-b]pyridines (3–18–3–21) and pyrrolo[2,3-c]pyridine (3–22) products as well. This result indicates that this two-step, one-pot reaction is a quite general protocol. All products with their structures and isolated yields are listed in the Table 1.
To prove the identity of the products, we characterized all compounds by NMR and HR-MS and also crystallized 2-amino-1H-pyrrolo[3,2-b]pyridine-3-carboxamide derivative (3–20) in a quality suitable for X-ray diffraction. The structure of 3–20 in the solid state is shown in Figure 3 and in Supporting Information. There are several noteworthy observations regarding the crystal structure. There are two cystallographically independent molecules (3–20) in the unit cell. One (conformation A) is forming an intramolecular hydrogen bridge between the amide and the pyridine nitrogen, whereas the morpholinoethyl side chain is stretched. In the second molecule (conformation B) the morpholinoethyl side chain is bent back to the amide group to form a bifurcated hydrogen bond; the NH comprises a bifurcated hydrogen bond donor. Such intramolecular hydrogen bonds can be actively used in drug design and have a pronounced effect on key compound parameters such as membrane permeability, water solubility, and lipophilicity.35
Not surprisingly the amidine substructure in 3–20 forms an intermolecular hydrogen bond to the amide carbonyl but also intermolecular and trifurcated hydrogen bonds to carbonyls of adjacent molecules.
In summary, we have described a highly efficient one-pot sequence toward 2-amino indole-type molecules involving an aromatic substitution and a subsequent reduction/cyclization process. Significantly, heteroaromates are substrates for this reaction sequence. Scope and limitation of the sequence are described. Further work is being performed in our laboratory to investigate the extraordinary biological activities of these molecules and will be reported in due course.
Cyanoacetamide (1a, 2.0 mmol, 1.0 equiv.) in dry DMF (0.5 M) and NaH (60% dispersion in mineral oil, 2.2 mmol, 2.2 equiv) were added to a 50 mL flask equipped with stir bar. After 10 min, 2-fluoronitrobenzene (2a, 2.0 mmol, 1.0 equiv) was added, and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 h. The reaction mixture became deep purple. Then 1.0 N HCl (4.0 mmol, 2.0 equiv) was added, following FeCl3 (6.0 mmol, 3 equiv.) and Zn dust (20 mmol, 10 equiv.). The reaction mixture was heated to 100 °C for 1 h. The reaction mixture was cooled down, and 20 mL of water was added to the crude reaction mixture. The crude reaction mixture was filtered, washed with 25 mL of ethyl acetate. The solution was extracted with ethyl acetate (20 mL × 2). The combined organic phase was washed by saturated sodium bicarbonate solution (10 mL) and brine (10 mL). The organic phase was dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate and the solvent was removed. The crude product was purified by short silica gel column chromatography with 5% methanol in ethyl acetate to generate 393 mg (85%) the title compound as a yellow solid.

Academy numbers set to rise
The learn-on-the-go motto suits Manawatu student Mathew Feekes, with trades training giving him a taste of tertiary education and the hospitality sector.
Feekes, 17, is one of 4200 secondary school students signed up at a trades academy, with the number set to blossom to 5250 from next year.
The Government has announced it's offering another 750 spots for students in New Zealand's 22 trades academies - news welcomed by Palmerston North education providers.
Trades academies couple the chance to earn NCEA credits and tertiary qualifications with hands-on, practical skills training for secondary school students.
More than 230 students in the wider Manawatu are enrolled at UCOL's Trades Academy, which teams with schools, industry groups, employers and other tertiary training organisations, such as Taratahi, to provide programmes in hospitality, health and beauty, engineering and construction.
"It's all about kids getting a chance to explore some stuff before they have to commit to it," UCOL's executive dean of trades and technology, Kelly Gay, said.
"It's giving them a line of visibility through to potential employment and qualifications post education . . . there's multiple benefits, because students get a first glimpse and know what they're about before they get there."
Feekes, a year 13 St Peter's College student, spends one day a week at UCOL's Trades Academy.
Through the programmes he's achieved a National Certificate in Hospitality and is tackling a 12-month Business Management Course this year.
"You get a full day dedicated to it and you find out a lot more about what [work and tertiary study] is really like, instead of being stuck in the classroom," Feekes said.
A Ministry of Education-evaluation of the first three years of trades academies showed an increase in the number of students staying in study and pupils passing NCEA level 2.
"This gives us real confidence that these new learning opportunities are the right way to go for many young people who benefit from a clear sense of direction, and see how their learning is relevant for where they want to go," Education Minister Hekia Parata said.

Popular Android Dolphin Browser Is Now Available For iOS
Third-party Dolphin Browser app has become very popular among Android users and has been downloaded nearly 9 million times. As TechCrunch
The iOS version has most of the features that made this app so popular among users of Android devices. They are convenient sidebar for quick access to bookmarks, built-in translations, customizable gestures, tabbed browsing, speed dial and more. It should be noted that Dolphin is based on Apple's WebKit, as well as other third-party browser available on the App Store, default Safari app, and majority of browsers for smartphones.
This browser has some main competitors like Opera and several smaller competitors like SkyFire that are steadily gaining popularity among iOS users.
Android users will find out that add-ons are absent from the version for iOS devices, as iPhone's technical limitation doesn't allow using native application add-ons. These add-ons are mainly used to change the look and feel of the browser. However,
Dolphin Browser app is available for free from the App Store. (

Apple now worth as much as all euro zone banks combined
Technology company Apple is now worth as much as the 32 biggest euro zone banks. That's the result of the DJ STOXX euro zone banks index fall, driven by sharp declines in the share price of big banks such as Spain's Santander, France's BNP Paribas, Germany's Deutsche Bank and Italy's Unicredit. Earlier on Friday the DJ STOXX euro zone banks index fell 4 percent, valuing its 32 members at $340 billion. That's based on the market capitalization of their free-float shares, which for some French banks in particular is less than 100 percent. In contrast, Apple's market capitalization has soared to $340 billion on the back of the success of innovative technology products like iPods, iPhones and iPads.
Class-action Suit Filed Against Apple and 5 Book Publishers Over E-book Pricing
A class-action lawsuit has been filed against Apple and 5 of the 6 major book publishers: Hachette, HarperCollins, MacMillan, Penguin, and Simon & Shuster. The lawsuit claims that they "colluded to increase prices for popular e-book titles to boost profits and force e-book rival Amazon to abandon its pro-consumer discount pricing."
From the lawsuit:
In November 2007, Amazon revolutionized the book publishing industry by releasing the Kindle, a handheld digital reader for electronic books or "eBooks." A major economic advantage to eBook technology is its potential to massively reduce distribution costs historically associated with brick-and-mortar publishing. But publishers quickly realized that if market forces were allowed to prevail too quickly, these efficiency enhancing characteristics would rapidly lead to lower consumer prices, improved consumer welfare, and threaten the current business model and available surplus (profit margins). So, faced with disruptive eBook technology that threatened their inefficient and antiquated business model, several major book publishers, working with Apple Inc. ("Apple"), decided free market competition should not be allowed to work – together they coordinated their activities to fight back in an effort to restrain trade and retard innovation. The largest book publishers and Apple were successful.
This lawsuit alleges that as a "direct result of this anticompetitive conduct as intended by the conspiracy, the price of eBooks has soared" and "bring claims under federal and state antitrust laws to enjoin the illegal conduct and to obtain damages."

Console's long upgrade cycle, expensive software and hardware for them and allure of touch gaming devices are main contributing factors to the decline of the console business.

Traffic-Control Proteins Implicated in Alzheimer's Pathogenesis
Unraveling how neuronal "traffic jams" develop within the brain could be key to scientists' understanding of diseases like Alzheimer's.
Researchers at the State University of New York (SUNY) at Buffalo, Carnegie Mellon University, and the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), have found that perturbations of amyloid precursor protein and presenilin transport may be partly to blame.
Writing in Human Molecular Genetics, UCSD's Lawrence Goldstein, Ph.D., and his colleagues show that axonal transport defects induced by the loss of presenilin-mediated regulatory effects on amyloid precursor protein vesicle motility could be a major cause of the neuronal and synaptic issues associated with Alzheimer's disease pathogenesis.
Further, Dr. Goldstein et al., suggest these amyloid precursor protein and presenilin perturbations may contribute to the early Alzheimer's neuropathology, and point to a potential therapeutic pathway for intervention prior to neuronal loss.
"Our major discovery is that presenilin has a novel role, which is to control the movement of motor proteins along neuronal highways," study co-author Shermali Gunawardena, Ph.D., from SUNY Buffalo said in a statement. "If this regulation/control is lost, then things can go wrong. …In Alzheimer's disease, transport defects occur well before symptoms, such as cell death and amyloid plaques, are seen in post-mortem brains."
Thus, Dr. Gunawardena added: "Developing therapeutics targeted to defects in neuronal transport would be a useful way to attack the problem early."
The study, "Presenilin controls kinesin-1 and dynein function during APP vesicle transport in vivo," was published May 24 in Human Molecular Genetics.

Alexandra Vanegas, a 30 year old single om lives just outside of Boston, finds that she focus on the negatives when she is asked to talk about herself and she does not understand why. Solana, her daughter, is 10 and Alexandra gave birth to her when she was 19, just four days before her 20th birthday. She have a BS in Human Services and her professional experience is in Nonprofit Development and Fundraising. Alexandra will love to go on a shorter "Wild" solo hike, but she is not a fan of bugs, so that probably won't happen. She is obsessed with knowledge and craves information. Just a few weeks back she bought 23 books from GoodWill! She hasn't read one yet – whoops! She enjoys drawing outside the lines and carving her own path forward. Alexandra enjoys making people laugh and thinks she's pretty hilarious. She is also a walking karaoke machine and loves to bust out in song (and dance) any chance she can. She also owns a lifestyle and parenting blog. She is a born connector and storyteller and enjoys using her vulnerabilities to create authentic relationships with diverse people. Passion seeps out of her pores. Dedicated to empowering single parents and helping disadvantaged populations. A fact about Alexandra, "If you ever visit Zimbabwe you'll find a library named after me. Seriously!".
Flaws. She knows she has a ton of them. She finds herself to be incredibly skilled at bullying herself and standing in her own way of happiness and success. She doesn't think she is good at anything or have any skills, which is a little because her blog proves that she is an amazing woman. She says her body is a disaster. Her OCD makes her pull out her eyebrows. She walks around daily with a guard up because she has been hurt over and over, beginning with family as a child. She has a feeling of vomiting when someone gives me a compliment.
Because her flaws stunt her growth. "Imagine the power if we lived as if life was rigged in our favor. If we were able to take a step back and appreciate the challenges in our lives as moments of progression". Alexandra feels by always being anxious and having self-doubt she is limiting her to how she interacts with others, how she parents her daughter and how she treats herself. It makes her feel like she's stuck deep in a hole without the fight left to climb out.
Alexandra accepted her flaws for most of her life and is quite sure she was born broken. Last fall she broke down and took a month off of work to try to find HER and spent time with HER and be with HER. Slowly after that time she has begun to be more at ease with her vulnerabilities, choosing not to hide them anymore. She owns her story and it's one that is messy and sad and challenging and joyous.
From a busy commute on the train at work, to a bustling office to friends and strangers online it's hard to feel truly alone. But she still does. More than that she feels empty, sick and tired of being so damn sick and so damn tired. Part of being vulnerable has not only been sharing her story, but keeping her heart open to others stories and supporting and encouraging them. Because we are all fighting battles, just some of us are better at hiding it than others. We have to share and share again and again.
Advice from Alexandra, "Dear Beautiful Soul: Do you know how amazing you are? Before you try to cut me off please just listen and allow yourself to be present in this very moment. So often we are moving so fast, juggling families and work and friends that it's hard to take a step back and breathe. I know at times your struggle feels like it's going to suffocate you, that no matter how hard you're fighting to stay afloat the waves keep crashing on top of you and the shore feels farther and farther away. I know because I have been there and I almost didn't make it. It took six days of being hospitalized for me to begin the journey of accepting and celebrating myself. Don't wait until you're at the edge to make a change. It's going to be hard. It's going to feel impossible. You are going to want to give up. But can you for a second imagine if you didn't? If you used those hurdles as stepping stones to something greater? It is possible, only once you give yourself a break. It's going to be tough, but it will be worth it. We can get through this together. You are not alone".

BlackBerry has today launched its two new Android smartphones — DTEK50 and DTEK60 in the Indian market. The DTEK50 was originally launched in July while the DTEK60 was launched just last month.
The BlackBerry DTEK60 and DTEK50 are touted as the world's most secure smartphones. Before these, the company had launched BlackBerry Priv, which was the first smartphone from the company to run on Google's Android OS.
It must be noted that BlackBerry is no longer manufacturing smartphones and is only focusing on software as of now. The company is now outsourcing hardware manufacturing and these two new smartphones are manufactured by Alcatel.
BlackBerry DTEK50 comes with a 5.2-inch full-HD display with a pixel density of 424ppi. It is powered by a 1.2GHz octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 617 SoC coupled with 3GB of RAM. It has 16GB of internal storage, which can be expanded up to 2TB.
As of camera, the smartphone sports a 13-megapixel rear camera with PDAF, dual-tone LED flash, and a 6-element lens with a f/2.0 aperture. It has an 8-megapixel fixed focus camera at front with an 84-degree wide-angle lens.
Connectivity options on the device include 4G LTE, Wi-Fi 802.11ac, FM radio, Bluetooth v4.2, GPS/ A-GPS, and NFC. It is powered by a 2610mAh non-removable battery with Quick Charge 2.0. It is said to deliver up to 50 percent charge in 51 minutes, with up to 17 hours of talk time.
On the other hand, BlackBerry DTEK60 features a 5.5-inch QHD display with a pixel density of 534ppi. It is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 SoC, along with 4GB of RAM. There is 32GB internal storage with support for 2TB of expandable storage.
The smartphone has a 21-megapixel rear camera with PDAF, dual-tone LED flash, and a 6-element f/2.0 lens. On the front, it has an 8-megapixel fixed focus camera with 84-degree wide-angle lens and a f/2.2 aperture. The phone is the company's first to sport a USB Type-C port for charging and data transfer.
It packs a 3000mAh non-removable battery which is rated to deliver up to 26 hours of talk time and up to 14 days of standby time. The phone also supports Quick Charge 3.0 technology. Connectivity options include 4G LTE, Wi-Fi 802.11ac, Bluetooth v4.2, GPS/ A-GPS, and NFC.
Both smartphones are running on Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow with the company's own skin on top. While the DTEK60 comes with a fingerprint sensor, the same is missing in DTEK50.
In India, the DTEK50 and the DTEK60 are priced at Rs. 21,990 and Rs. 46,990 respectively. The DTEK50 will go on sale from this weekend, while the DTEK60 will go on sale in early December.

So Felipe Massa reckons that the World Championship is still open for Ferrari and Fernando Alonso? While it's hard to see either team or driver closing what is more a points chasm than a points gap to the runaway leaders, it's not inconceivable that the prancing horse will be the team galloping up alongside the charging Red Bulls at the front of the field in the second half of the season. After the exhaust blown diffuser controversy of the British Grand Prix two weeks ago, the question is whether Ferrari's Silverstone form is a flash in the pan or down to circumstance.
Chances are it's a little of both, but Ferrari has unquestionably been on an upward curve since its wind tunnel woes were comprehended. The upgrade package taken to May's Spanish GP was the first step in Ferrari's 'true' development path and, as Alonso said at Silverstone, the parts put on the car are producing exactly the performance levels expected. It's a far cry from where the team was at the end of testing and in the early races, and suggests that fundamentally it just might have a car with more raw potential than McLaren.
By the time we get to the midway point of the season, halfway through the German GP, we should have a clear idea of whether it will be the silver or the red corner that can post the biggest threat to Red Bull for race wins. And if McLaren can't reassert itself over its old nemesis Ferrari, it will be a gloomy omen for the rest of the year. Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton haven't had cause to be universally delighted with their team's performance over the past month, but it's nothing that a win, or at least a run at victory, wouldn't put right.
