Bootstrapping in Roundup
The morning of May 26, the town of Roundup in central Montana became separated from the world. The Musselshell River, normally a lazy brown trickle, had been transformed overnight into a raging monster a half-mile wide that swept away everything in its path.
In the wee hours, the sheriff's department received word from 20 miles upstream that a crest was roaring downriver toward this coal-mining and ranching community of about 2,500 people. Deputies began notifying residents in low-lying areas along the river, and a frantic evacuation began. Most people only had time to dress and drive through several feet of fast-rising water to safety. All their belongings were soon swallowed by silt-laden floodwaters.
At dawn, stunned onlookers stood on a hill above the river, silently taking in the devastation. Brown water flowed everywhere, even over land that had never in recorded history seen river water. The flood had crested at 14.78 feet, smashing the previous record flood of 12.89 feet. The fast-flowing water sliced through an old railroad grade that had given the town a false sense of security. The roof of one local restaurant was barely visible above the muck. Many houses had water lapping at their eaves.
In the aftermath of the massive flash flood, which was caused by an upstream deluge of rain the day before, the community began to pull itself together.
In a way, Roundup had no choice. The town is quartered by two state highways: Highway 87, running north and south; Highway 12, running east and west. Water up to 8 feet deep covered all four routes into town. Hundreds of families were isolated by the river and the badly damaged roads, but trucks couldn't get through to them. Though they wanted to help, neither the Red Cross nor the Salvation Army could reach the town. It was up to locals to take care of themselves and each other.
Years of people trickling out of the area and the loss of Main Street businesses have taken their toll on Roundup's economy, but the community stayed strong. People opened their homes to flood victims. Donations of food, clothing, and money began pouring in. The town Ministerial Association organized churchwomen to cook and serve three meals a day in the basement of the largest church. A tanker truck filled with drinking water rumbled into town to replace contaminated tap water.
Volunteers were eager to begin the process of "mucking out," but floodwaters were persistent, and it was almost two weeks before anyone could even begin assessing the damage. The National Guard was finally called in, and it brought high-riding vehicles that could navigate through the muddy water to reach families that needed emergency supplies or medical care.
The continuing problem was getting rid of all the standing water. Even though pumps ran 24 hours a day, they couldn't keep up. A short string of sunny days finally allowed homeowners to begin cleaning up the soggy messes that were once living rooms, bedrooms and kitchens. Piles of debris rose in front yards, and fences emerged from the water festooned with the belongings of upstream residents.
Then, just as the National Guard departed, a severe thunderstorm struck, bringing howling wind, hail, a small tornado and once more, buckets of rain. Bad news came again to the sheriff's department: That string of sunny days was melting the record snowpack in the mountains to the west -- and the latest storm's runoff had nowhere to go but downhill.
Another crest was barreling down upon the town, albeit slightly more slowly than the first. Residents watched in horror as the water began to rise again, crossing roads and inundating homes that hadn't yet dried out from the first disaster. The new crest measured 14 feet, nearly as high as the record set the week before.
But now, almost two months later, I'm happy to say that Roundup has emerged from the waters bruised and battered but also proud. Hay fields and borrow pits are still flooded by mosquito-infested water, and as many as 40 homes were ruined beyond salvage by water and mold. And everybody, it is true, seems exhausted.
At the same time, everyone seems amazed at how the community rallied to help itself. Summers are short here, and somehow we've learned to cope with whatever the season brings us - being grateful when blessed with good weather, working patiently together when it's bad.
Wendy Beye is a contributor to Writers on the Range, a service of High Country News (hcn.org). She is a freelance writer in Roundup, Mont., and during the recent flooding, she found herself on the wrong side of the river; it took her two days driving a 950-mile detour to finally make it home.

Propositions as Sessions
draft paper. Comments welcome!
Continuing a line of work by Abramsky (1994), by Bellin and Scott (1994), and by Caires and Pfenning (2010), among others, this paper presents CP, a calculus in which propositions of classical linear logic correspond to session types. Continuing a line of work by Honda (1993), by Honda, Kubo, and Vasconcelos (1998), and by Gay and Vasconcelos (2010), among others, this paper presents GV, a linear functional language with session types, and presents a translation from GV into CP. The translation formalises for the first time a connection between a standard presentation of session types and linear logic, and shows how a modification to the standard presentation yield a language free from deadlock, where deadlock freedom follows from the correspondence to linear logic

After the island sustained severe damage in a tropical storm, Dominica's economy has suffered horrendously. To assess the full extent of the damage, the World Bank, United Nations, and other development partners with funding support of the European Union (EU) and the World Bank Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery put their resources together to study the problem. What they found proved shocking.
According to their results, which the participants compiled in a "Rapid Damage and Impact Assessment," Tropical Storm Erica nullified 90 percent of Dominica's Gross Domestic Product (GDP). This level of damage occurred because the heavy rainfall brought by the storm followed an unusually dry period, triggering landslides and slope failures that damaged roads, buildings, bridges, and farmland. Though the storm only battered the island nation for a few hours, it managed to destroy critical infrastructure that tallied up to the equivalent of five years of normal investment for the small nation of only about 70,000 people. The damage estimate totaled around $483 million (USD).
Tropical Storm Erica killed 11 people and left many inhabitants without electricity or water for days. This led to the closing of the airport, which, for a nation that depends heavily upon tourism, represented a major blow to the economy. Unfortunately, these conditions have become more and more common thanks to climate change. An increasing number of storms develop offshore, and they tend to grow stronger than in years past.
According to the World Bank, hurricane activity will probably increase by about 40 percent over the next few years. Coupled with a rise in sea levels resulting from the melting of the ice caps, climate change will only continue to harm small island states like Dominica.
As reported by Caribbean360, the World Bank asserts that the solution for Caribbean states like Dominica lies in lies in a two-step approach. On the one hand, the governments of the world must agree to regulations designed to lessen and/or reverse the effects of climate change. Second, nations that are already feeling the effects of climate change need to set priorities for recovery and reconstruction that focuses on building climate-resilient infrastructure.
Dominica's Prime Minister Skerrit had this to say about the situation: "We believe that it is not only about cutting roads, building houses and giving somebody a key…. I'll be the first to say, as I've said before, that we do not have the requisite expertise on the island to guide us in that direction therefore we are relying heavily on our partners all of whom have indicated their keen interest and intention to provide us with that level of support and guidance."

Friday 25 January
The dunnock (Prunella modularis) is a common bird of gardens, woods and parks, familiar to many people still under its old name of hedge sparrow. The name is slightly misleading as, while the bird does indeed frequent hedgerows, it is not related to sparrows. Dunnocks belong to a family known as accentors, small ground and scrub-dwelling birds that hop around in a characteristically crouched posture. Both sexes are similar in appearance, being predominantly brown with a striated back and belly, and with a grey head and noticeably brown eyes. Young birds are more boldly streaked with dark brown or black, these marks also extending to the head and neck, a feature not found on the adults. Dunnocks resemble robins in their habits and many people still confuse the young of the two species. The song of the dunnock is nowhere as melodic as that of the robin, consisting of a loud, clear but tuneless series of tinkling notes, often delivered from the top of a bush or a prominent branch of a tree. However, the birds sing this ditty throughout the year, and it is often the only birdsong to be heard during the otherwise dull days of late autumn and winter.
Although a common bird in the UK, only recently have studies shown that the birds has an interesting domestic arrangement. Although the pair-bond between the birds appears strong during the breeding season, females will often court another male and mate with him. This ensures that her chicks – whichever partner actually sires them – will receive an adequate supply of food from both males. The nest is hidden in a hedge or shrub and contains up to five pale blue eggs. There can be up to three clutches laid in a season, the first appearing in March or April. Incubation takes about two weeks with the female taking sole charge of the brooding. The young are fed by both sexes and fledge after some 12 to 14 days. The dunnock is primarily an insect feeder although small seeds often form part of the bird's diet as well.
In the south of England, the dunnock is the principal host of the cuckoo (Cuculus canorus). Although cuckoos also parasitise the nests of meadow pipits, and match their eggs to those of that host, they rarely produce blue eggs to match those of the dunnock. This does not seem to stop dunnocks becoming unwitting foster parents to the much larger cuckoo, and faithfully rear the interloper as their own young. The cuckoo chick has a much greater appetite than the young dunnocks so, for this reason, after it hatches the cuckoo chick evicts the dunnock eggs or chicks from the nest to remove the competition for food.
The dunnock is found across the whole of Europe, and parts of western Asia. It occurs throughout the UK and republic of Ireland, where it is a resident, but in the northern part of its range, it is a migratory bird.
In Britain, the dunnock can be seen almost anywhere in the lowlands, in gardens, parks, on heaths and in woodlands. It prefers habitats with some areas of cover as the bird is rather shy in behaviour. In other parts of Europe, dunnocks are found also in spruce woods and upland forests.
The dunnock is classified as Least Concern (LC) on the IUCN Red List (1). It receives general protection under the Wildlife and Countryside Act (as amended) in the UK. Included in the Birds of Conservation Concern Amber List (medium conservation concern).
Although the dunnock appears to be an abundant and familiar bird, figures compiled by the British Trust for Ornithology show that in the decade from mid the 1970s, populations fell by nearly 50 percent. This was particularly true of woodland dunnocks, and the cause is still unknown. However, the populations have stabilised and there are signs of a slight recovery in recent years.
While the dunnock remains a relatively common bird, recent studies have shown that populations in woodland habitats are at risk. Many of the UK's once common birds have declined drastically in the last 30 or 40 years, many as a result of increased agricultural pressure. Although the dunnock is a bird that seems adapted to survive in a variety of habitats, the pressures of our increasing demand for urban and industrial development could still prove damaging.
Recently, wildlife-friendly gardening techniques have become more popular in both rural and urban environments. So long as we provide our garden birds with a healthy balance of wild plant and insect food, there is no reason why our still familiar species such as the dunnock cannot maintain their numbers and continue to gladden us with their modest but cheerful winter songs.

text: Victor Farinelli: 'Ink Master' Prologue By Victor Farinelli On Tuesday October 9th, Ink Masters Season 2 begins. I am not here to say anything pro or con about this show or shows about tattooing in general. I am just a sucker for "reality" TV. I used to watch wrestling when I was a kid. That's real, right? With that being said, I am here to give you the play-by-play as the color commentator on this season of Days of Our Lives: Tattoo Addition. A regular old "Mean" Gene Okerlund, if you will. Each week I am going to give a recap of each episode. From the funny, to the absurd, to Mr. Peck's line-of-the-episode. It should be interesting to say the least. So before the show begins, let's look at the players... "Big Daddy" Tray Benham: Hailing from Branderburg, Kentucky, "Big Daddy" is the owner of Big Daddy's Tattoo Shop. Who knew? Tray's black work is definitely above average and he can lay down some smooth, clean lines. His shading is solid. While he says in his bio that he prides himself on his extensive use of color, the healed backpiece on his Ink Master's profile was washed out, lacked definition, and is in serious need of a touch-up. He is going to have to step-up his game in this area in order to make it through the season. Clint Cummings: Clint is the owner of Sparrow Tattoo in Dallas. According his bio, he got his first tattoo machine when he was 15... from his dad, to keep him out of trouble. He is self-taught and specializes in new-school and realism tattoos. He is excellent at portraits, full of vivid colors. Cummings is great at what he does. If they throw traditional Americana at him, will he be able to pull it off or be set out to pasture? Nick D'Angelo: Nick has only been tattooing for four years and is one of the rookies of the contestants. He likes pirates. Who doesn't? Another photo realism artist, Nick has done some pretty amazing tattoos in his short career, if a bit heavy-handed on the white. Hopefully his relative inexperience will not affect his chances at making a decent showing. Jamie Davis: Davis, owner of Tattooz Ink in Redding, CA specializes in... you guessed it, photo realism. He has been tattooing for 17 years. He, himself, has one tattoo. One. A black-light piece on the side of his neck. Never trust a tattoo artist who doesn't get tattooed. Especially when they say tattoos don't hurt. His work is average at best. I do not see him lasting long. Katherine "Tatu Baby" Flores: Seriously? "Tatu Baby"? She is another rookie and has been tattooing for six years specializing in... wait for it... wait for it... photo realism. Really? Wow! I'm shocked! What are the chances? Her tattoos are hit and miss. She states in her profile that she has used her "sex appeal" to her advantage but not to judge a book by its cover. Well sister, your book is pretty boring and lacks any world-building wonder... La Ron "Ron" Givens: Another tattooist from the Dallas contingent, Givens is influenced by Anime. His bio says that he specializes in new-school, Japanese and color realism (i.e. photo realism). His new-school tattoos are impressive. However, I do not see what he means by Japanese. When I think of Japanese I think of Horiyoshi III, and I don't see that in his portfolio. Hopefully more will be revealed. Thomas "TJ Hal" Halvorsen: What's up with the nicknames? Come on folks, not everyone can have a cool nickname like Sailor Jerry, Doc Webb or Rollo Banks. I am not going to tell you what he specialises in since I am getting tired of typing r-e-a-l-i-s-m. TJ was a comic book artist for DC and Marvel. Co-owner of Foolish Pride Tattoo Co. in St. Petersburg, FL, Halvorsen colors are vibrant and alive. The pieces he has done of comic book characters are exceptional. Cee Jay Jones: Detroit Michigan's Cee Jay "Inky" Jones (yes folks: "Inky") has been tattooing for 15 years. She considers herself an expert in cover-up tattoos. Unfortunately, the pieces in her portfolio are not that impressive. There are one or two good clean tattoos and the rest are mediocre. Sorry Inky. Steven "Kay Kutta" Givens: Kay Kutta is a name I can get behind. Kutta has only been tattooing for three years. He credits tattooing to turning his life around after being released from an eight-year stretch in prison. His shop Kutthouse Tattoos was voted best studio in his hometown of Fayetteville, NC. His inexperience does show a little in his work, although, there is a tribal piece in his portfolio that is quite stunning. Little Mike: Little Mike is co-owner of Addicted to Ink in White Plains, NY. He has been tattooing for 14 years. His style varies from realism to bold lines and color. The bold-lined work he does is good. His realism tattoos are lackluster and flat. If he stays away from the realism tattoos he may do well. Mark Matthews: Mark is a tattoo artist/MMA fighter. He is a self-taught artists who specialises in black and gray with experience in Traditional Japanese and Americana. He is another hit and miss artist with more misses than hits. His MMA record is six wins, five losses and one no contest. Sarah Miller: Sarah was a graphic artist before she began tattooing. Miller is not a fan of traditional styles of tattooing because they are not realistic enough. Sacrilege! But, even with her blasphemy, she is good artist. Her pin-ups and portraits are bold and eye-catching. I bet she could do a great traditional tattoo if she decided to come to the darkside. She is the owner of Wyld Chyld Tattoo in Pyttsburgh. (See what I did there? I put a "y" instead of an "i" in Pittsburgh. I am so fucking magical I blow myself away!) Sebastian Murphy: Sebastian works at Detroit Ink. Murphy was a airbrush artist who moved into tattooing after the airbrush fad faded away. He describes himself as a "ninja duplicator," meaning he can duplicate any style of tattooing. The portrait of Little Wayne that he did is striking. I do not see any traditional Japanese or Americana so "ninja duplicator" remains to be seen. Jesse Smith: Owner of Loose Screw Tattoo in Richmond, Virginia, Jesse Smith discovered his love for art while living in Germany as a teen. His profile says that he was introduced to tattooing by a circle of artists that he met while working as a caricaturist at Busch Gardens in Virginia. He eventually learned how to make his own homemade "tattoo gun." (Look, it's a machine. If it was a gun you would hold it differently and it would shoot fucking bullets.) He is phenomenal at new-school. His lines are clean and his shading is solid. Jesse is going to be a finalist. He is definitely the best artist out of the contestants. If I had room I wouldn't mind getting a tattoo by this cat. Steve Tefft: Steve has taught me valuable lesson: I look like a dork when I throw the horns, a-la Ronnie James Dio, in every photograph. Thank you Steve. Steve is the owner of 12 Tattoos in Connecticut and specializes in black and gray portraits and horror imagery. It is hard for me to make a good assessment of his work from his profile page because the photos are also in black and white and a little fuzzy. So we will see when the show starts. Lalo Yunda Lalo is grew up in Colombia, South America and currently is based in Brooklyn. He is entirely self-taught and one of the first generations of tattoo artists from his native country. Yunda's work blends magical elements with the real world. His portfolio has some pretty unique pieces and I think he can definitely hold his own for much of the season. I believe he will be another finalist. So that's the weigh-in. Out of all of these artists, I did not see one good traditional tattoo - or any for that matter. Just because traditional tattoos look easy to tattoo does not mean it is easy. It takes talent to make a traditional tattoo stand out and there are a lot of great aspiring artists specializing in traditional Americana needing a payday to help catch up on some bills. Maybe they should rename Ink Master, "Photo Realism Masters." With that being said, my prediction is that Jesse Smith is going to win. He is the best out of this years contestants hands down. If you have gotten this far into this post, you are saying to yourself, "What makes this cat (dude, chump, dickhead - whatever) qualified to give his opinion." Well, nothing really. That puts me on par with Navarro. Except that he is famous and has way more money. I have way more tattoos. Better facial hair too. Loose that beard thing you got going on there, Dave. It's kinda creepy. Keep in mind, like any commentator, my predictions, comments and analysis of the art and artists is my own and does not reflect the opinions or views of Tattoo Artist Magazine as a whole. I may be harsh - sort of like those mean, bitter Olympic diving, gymnastics and ice skating announcers. Hate mail can be sent to email@example.com. Let the madness begin!

Chocolatería San Ginés
17 comments:
I had amazing churros in Barcelona. The ones I have had in the US just don't compare. I love that you had to find this place!ReplyDelete
Try as I might, I can't get myself to like churros...but I'm so glad that you enjoyed those!ReplyDelete
Holy what??! Ok, I really need to get my a** to Madrid.ReplyDelete
We went to Spain last year and upon a rec from a local went to Chocolateria San Gines - at least three times during our stay in Madrid!ReplyDelete
It's been fun reading your adventures and seeing the sites again - and adding new places to our list for another trip!
Those look amazing! That mug of dipping chocolate is die for! The streets of Madrid can be tricky, I am so impressed you found this place.ReplyDelete
I am about to buy a plane ticket! Looks incredible!!!ReplyDelete
I lived in Spain for my junior year of college and Churros con chocolate was one of the best discoveries for me too! There is no place in the U.S. that makes them as well. The closest I've come is at Upstairs on the Square in Cambridge. These photos had me drooling!ReplyDelete
ohmygod. Can someone please figure out how to make these and whip some up for the next blogger event?!ReplyDelete
OMG this is taking me right back to my childhood. I absolutely love churros con chocolate!ReplyDelete
I had some from Lolita recently and they were good but great. I want the real thing!
My God Daisy! This would be my happiest moment EVER too. This looks absolutely delicious - I can't think of a better reason to visit Madrid!ReplyDelete
Whoa, they look amazing!! I had some churros with chocolate at Toro recently and they were tasty but would love to have the real deal :)ReplyDelete
Love you earrings too - so cute!
I can only imagine how great churros taste in Spain...and that sauce looks incredibly rich!ReplyDelete
Those look out of this world. I suspect having that place open from 9am to 6am would be dangerous for me if I lived in Madrid. I imagine it would be the final spot every drunken night.ReplyDelete
that chocolate looks sooo decadent...yum!ReplyDelete
oh my goodness. those churros and chocolate look amazing!ReplyDelete
Yeeeah chocolate and churros are the bomb! Had that combo in Argentina, the best!ReplyDelete
Okay Chef has this on the menu. You need to haul it over here STAT!!! And bring that chocolatey recipe with you. His needs to be thicker!!ReplyDelete

Greetings to one and all .
I have recently setup a print server using a old win 2k server we had in the office. Rather than have the users browse and install shared printers through the add printers wizard. I opt to use the http://server/printers for a list of shared printers and the users can download the driver using smb.
My problem = I can not seem to find a group policy that allows my users to not be prompted for a log / pass as they connect to http://server/printers.
I attempted to find the /printers html page in IIS to attempt anonymous access. I was unable to find it.
My Question = Is there a Group Policy that allows anonymous accress to my http://server/printers file? Or is there a property setting in IIS that allows anonymous access.
Thank you in advance.

Thief: Deadly Shadows (PC) review
"Does a game lose worth for providing too much of a challenge? Forcing the player into a routine of patience in order to beat its difficulty is the very crux of the Thief franchise, so it seems a little unfair to berate an admittedly well-crafted videogame for this reason."

A Festivus for the Restofus
This led to a lot of scrambling behind the scenes by many of the Liberal bloggers to set a similar group up. However, while I'm a proud Liberal and would gladly join a group of Blogging Liberals, this blog is not affiliated with and does not speak for the Liberal Party, and a lot of bloggers out there are hesitant to openly declare their affiliation for a given party. We also felt that the only real way to provide balance to the Blogging Tories would be to unite all bloggers who share a Progressive vision of Canada. That isn't a slag at the Blogging Tories because there are a lot of great blogs in that group, but there needs to be a way to bring centre and centre-left blogs together.
So, thanks to Wayne at freethought, we have decided to launch the Progressive Bloggers. Whether you're NDP, Liberal, Green, a Red Tory, or an unaligned blogger with a progressive vision of Canada, you're welcome to join this group. On the main page you can see recent posts from the Progressive Bloggers and we hope to shortly allow posting directly to the site by Progressive Canadians who do not have their own blogs. So spread the word, add the code to your site, and join the group.

A classic Ferrari is forever
When a car is special, its value grows over time. ItвАЩs an unwritten rule born out by the facts, which from time to time is confirmed at auctions for these four wheeled jewels. A few days ago, a new record was set for an object going under the hammer, when a 1953 Ferrari 340/375 MM was sold at Villa dвАЩEste for just under the ten million Euro mark, a figure never seen before here in Italy, not even for a work of art.
Behind these sorts of figures lies a mix of passion for fabulous cars and a nose for a profitable investment. ItвАЩs not by chance that the percentage increase in value of a classic car over the past decade has recently been estimated at around 400%. That figure is far higher than the value of an apartment in the most exclusive area of Hong Kong, which has gone up by 220%.
ItвАЩs also not by chance that the car that broke the records at Villa dвАЩEste was built in Maranello. Ferraris always lead the way in prices at auctions all over the world, as did the 250 Testa Rossa sold at Pebble Beach two years ago for 16.9 million dollars, while a sister car reached over 12 million. To understand how quickly a Ferrari can appreciate, one only has to think back to 2003 when a long wheelbase 250 GT Berlinetta was sold for just over a million dollars вАУ 1,195,691 to be precise. Then in 2012, another example of this same model went for 6,710,000 Dollars, an increase of over 400%.
HAGI (Historic Automobile Group International,) an association of eminent experts in this field, has even created a series of financial indices to evaluate movement in the classic car market, one of which is dedicated exclusively to the cars from Maranello. Investment or passion, owning a Ferrari is something special.

Consortium for Parasitic Drug Development and Developing World Health sign collaboration agreement
The collaboration agreement to develop new drugs is believed to be the first between a UK medical charity and international scientific consortium focused on neglected tropical diseases. Richard Tidwell, PhD, is the Director of the UNC-based consortium.
Developing World Health (DWH), a leading medical charity based in Stirlingshire, Scotland and committed to developing effective treatments for neglected tropical diseases, has signed a collaboration agreement with the internationally respected Consortium for Parasitic Drug Development (CPDD), based at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
The collaboration agreement to develop new drugs is believed to be the first between a UK medical charity and international scientific consortium focused on neglected tropical diseases.
An estimated 16% of the world's population suffer from one or more neglected tropical diseases – with 90% of cases recorded in Africa.
The agreement may prove highly lucrative, potentially generating in excess of $15 million investment in drug development for NTDs that urgently need safe and effective new treatments. Referring to the collaboration agreement with CPDD, Dr Stuart WG Smith, Founder and CEO of Scottish medical charity Developing World Health, commented, "Developing World Health's objective is to facilitate the development of new treatments for NTDs. This collaboration will mean that we can expedite the development of novel treatments and help save the lives of many more children and adults afflicted by the scourge of NTD's."
Dr. Rick Tidwell, Director of the Consortium for Parasitic Drug Development (CPDD), commented "This is a very welcome and exciting strategic partnership and brings together additional expertise to increase funding and collaboration opportunities for the Consortium and enhance the rapid development of novel treatments for NTDs such as African sleeping sickness and leishmaniasis."
The partnership means DWH and CPDD can effectively source funding from commercial, government and not-for-profit organisations to develop and / or improve effective treatments for preventable, treatable diseases like leishmaniasis, African trypanosomiasis (sleeping sickness), Chagas disease (American trypanosomiasis) and Dengue.
The partnership enables the charity to bridge the 'missing link' between academics requiring research funding and the pharmaceutical industry interested in tackling these devastating tropical diseases.
The CPDD currently has in its portfolio, a novel compound shown to be 100% curative in models of late-stage stage African Trypanosomiasis ("sleeping sickness"). This disease is caused by microscopic parasites of the species Trypanosoma brucei and is transmitted by the tsetse fly found only in rural Africa. Currently, about 10,000 new cases each year are reported to the World Health Organization. However, it is believed that many cases go undiagnosed and unreported. Sleeping sickness is fatal if left untreated.
The CPDD brings together some of the world's top experts in drug development and delivery from UNC-Chapel Hill, Georgia State University, the University of Glasgow, Ohio State University, the Swiss Tropical Institute, and the Kenya Trypanosomiasis Research Institute among others.

The Strategy provides investors with exposure to developed market government and quasi government bonds.
It adopts a low-risk approach that includes diverse sources of alpha strategies.
We provide investors with unparalleled access to infrastructure debt opportunities. These can be seen as a higher yielding alternative to long-term sovereign and high quality corporate bonds. They have a significantly longer duration and lower risk profile than high-yield debt.
With an abundance of emerging market issuers, our strong research capabilities enable us to seek consistent excess returns without incurring undue risk for our clients. We consider:
- issuer risk over sector and country risk resulting in a corporate debt-focused portfolio

- building focused portfolios
- risk control.
This strategy exploits perceived pricing inefficiencies for securities exposed to credit, prepayment, liquidity and currency risks.
We provide clients with consistent excess return potential over the long term by:
- focusing on optimal security selection
- emphasising spread sectors
- building duration-neutral portfolios with attractive risk and reward characteristics.
We offer a range of Australian fixed interest strategies including:
- true index, which provides investors pre-tax index returns with no fund management fees
- enhanced, which seeks to marginally outperform the index through low-risk strategies applied to an indexed core
- active, which seeks to provide strong and consistent performance over a full market cycle.
We have been one of Australia's largest money managers since 1980.
With a focus on maintaining liquidity and preserving capital, we offer true to label cash investment solutions.
As one of Australia's largest credit managers, we seek to improve traditional cash returns with a diversified range of non-government securities.

I suppose this was inevitable. When you have eSports, with all the markers of professional sports-superstars, commentators, million-dollar prizes-at some point you'll wind up with fantasy eSports. Domain watchdog Fusible spotted three registrations on Thursday and, combined with their owner, it suggests someone's looking to create a fantasy League of Legends league.
Who knows how that would work, exactly, but Fusible reports that the registrant, ZAM Network, is owned by Tencent, the Chinese company that acquired Riot Games and LoL for $400 million last year. ZAM Network also operates three gaming add-on site for LoL, World of Warcraft, and Diablo III.
The URLs in question are LeagueofLegendsFantasy.com,LeagueofLegendsFantasy.net, LeagueofLegendsFantasyLeague.com, and LeagueofLegendsFantasyLeague.net.

Brownie Points
Here's one sweet deal: Nordic Ware Original Tunnel of Fudge Bundt Cake Mix ($10). It baked up a brownie-like middle and had a mouthwatering flavor that wowed our food pros.
The Biggest Bundt
Cooking for a crowd this Thanksgiving? Try the Williams-Sonoma Double Chocolate Bundt Cake Mix ($14), which turned out the largest cake in our tests (serves 16 to 20). Panelists melted over its baked-in chocolate chips.
Almost Homemade
The King Arthur Flour Traditional Chocolate cake ($4.50, shown above) had a perfectly moist center. Volunteers loved its light, buttery flavor, which could've passed for "from scratch."
Lemon Heaven
If you're craving a tart treat, check out the Williams-Sonoma Double Lemon Bundt Cake Mix ($14). Flecks of crystallized lemon peel and a ginger accented glaze make for a classic-looking dessert with a yummy kick.

The Emmy statuettes will be handed out Monday night, and the competition is running hot in races featuring longtime favorites and newcomers to the television realm.
Departed drama stalwart "Breaking Bad" could see its last chance at scoring a series win quashed by the critically acclaimed "True Detective," while Netflix upstart "Orange Is the New Black" could spoil the chance "Modern Family" has for an historic fifth consecutive comedy series win.
All will be revealed when Seth Meyers steps on stage to host the 66th Primetime Emmy Awards, airing live on NBC.
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
Not only does HBO's moody limited-run series "True Detective" have to beat the final season of AMC's beloved "Breaking Bad," it must also overcome drama series contenders "House of Cards" (Netflix), "Downton Abbey" (PBS), "Mad Men" (AMC) and the hit fantasy series "Game of Thrones" (HBO), which leads the Emmy race overall with 19 nominations.
In the lead actor in a drama series, "Bad's" Bryan Cranston faces "Detective's" Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson, as well as "Mad Men's" Jon Hamm, Kevin Spacey for "House of Cards," and last year's winner, Jeff Daniels for "The Newsroom."
If McConaughey wins, he'll be the first man ever to win both a lead actor Emmy and an Oscar in the same year. He was handed the Academy Award for his role in "Dallas Buyers Club" in March.
Comedy newbie "Orange Is the New Black" is already an Emmy winner. "OITNB" took three awards at the creative arts Emmy ceremony last weekend, including a best guest actress in a comedy series win for Uzo Aduba, who plays Suzanne "Crazy Eyes" in the Netflix series.
But to take the outstanding comedy series trophy, "OITNB" must conquer fellow freshman nominee "Silicon Valley" (HBO), and returning contenders "Veep" (HBO), "Louie" (FX), "The Big Bang Theory" (CBS) and last year's winner "Modern Family" (ABC). A fifth consecutive win for "Family" will place it alongside "Frazier" as the only other series to accomplish the feat in Emmy history.
Amidst the awards and celebrations, the audience present at the Nokia Theater and viewers at home will pause to honor the memory of recently departed comedy icon Robin Williams. Billy Crystal, Williams' longtime friend, will present a special tribute segment to the actor who first became a household name thanks to his portrayal of motor-mouthed alien Mork in "Mork and Mindy," which ran on ABC from 1978 to 1982.
Watch the 66th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards live on Monday, August 25 at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT on NBC.

It is the sequel to Chaos and an ancestor of the popular X-COM series of games, also written by Julian Gollop. In Lords of Chaos each player controls a wizard who can cast various magic spells. The spells have various effects, for example summoning other creatures (which the player also controls), or damaging opposing creatures and wizards. (In its original form the game could be played against a computer-controlled opponent or by up to four human players). Before embarking on the game's levels, the player is asked to design a wizard. This is done by splitting experience points amongst mana, action points, stamina, constitution, combat, defense and magic resistance. Remaining experience points are spent on spells. Spells may be offensive in nature (magic bolt, curse), potions (speed potion, healing potion), utility (teleport, magic eye) or summoning (goblin, unicorn, etc). These spells continue the theme from Chaos and include some of that game's more unusual elements (gooey blob, for example.) After completing each scenario, the player may spend accumulated experience points to further improve their wizard. The aim of each level of the game is for a player's wizard to reach a portal which appears after a preset number of turns. To do this, the player's wizard and creatures move around a map composed of square tiles, each of which represents one of various terrain types (for example, forest or the wall of a building). During a player's turn, only the parts of the map which that player's wizard or creatures have previously seen are shown, thus leading to other human players having to look away from the screen during each turn to avoid learning information they "shouldn't" know. Points are awarded for a player's wizard reaching the portal, for holding items of treasure (for example, valuable gems) when the wizard reaches the portal, or for enemy creatures killed during the level. Each level ends when all wizards have reached the portal or been killed, or when the portal disappears after a fixed number of turns (in which case all the remaining wizards lose). During each turn, each creature has a fixed number of action points which it can use to accomplish actions, for example moving, fighting hand-to-hand or shooting ranged weapons. When a creature's action points are used up for the turn, it can take no further actions until all the players have had a turn.About Elite®: Elite Systems Ltd was incorporated in England in 1984.… Expand

What sports are people planning to watch?
Excited by it being in South America for first time or think it is a bad thing for Brazil?
Any hopes for your country?
How concerned are you by doping?
I saw the Olympic opening ceremony (have done since Athens), I think it will leave great memories for the stuff it did right but it was a bit disappointing watching on TV. I think sometimes when people were dancing, a closer camera view would have helped
example two reds, a gold and a silver group doing regional dances, prefer a more intimate view. Whereas when on the boxes, could see the dancing clearly
However there were moments I loved. The anthem, the plane, the video screen on the floor was wonderful with my favourite being the rising city, the boats, the favella dancing, their choice of the person to light the flame was great, the "sun" they created is a work of pure beauty.
Please Tokyo, only do one set of fireworks.

constructivism, Russian art movement founded c.1913 by Vladimir Tatlin , related to the movement known as suprematism . After 1916 the brothers Naum Gabo and Antoine Pevsner gave new impetus to Tatlin's art of purely abstract (although politically intended) constructions. Their sculptural works derived from cubism and futurism , but had a more architectonic and machinelike emphasis related to the technology of the society in which they were created. The Soviet regime at first encouraged this new style. However, beginning in 1921, constructivism (and all modern art movements) were officially disparaged as unsuitable for mass propaganda purposes. Gabo and Pevsner went into exile, while Tatlin remained in Russia. In theatrical scene design constructivism spread beyond Russia through the efforts of Vsevolod Meyerhold .

Realtor, Buyer/Leasing Agent
- Mr. & Mrs. Azua, July 28, 2017 -
Randy is the absolute best property manager. T2M managed my home while we were stationed overseas for 4 years, and still while we live in another state. We just recently sold our home, or I should say he sold our home for us. Randy certainly upholds his reputation with integrity and respect. You're the best T2M!

A. Philip Randolph, the first president of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, was born in Crescent City, Florida, and grew up in Jacksonville. The son of a Methodist minister, he attended the City College of New York, and later published The Messenger, a political and literary magazine.
The 1937 contract between the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters and the Pullman Company cut working hours, increased pay, and improved working conditions.
Randolph was also a major influence in ending discrimination in defense plants and segregation of the U.S. military. He was director of the August 28, 1963 March on Washington, D.C. — the largest civil rights demonstration in American history.
The membership of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters included the African-American porters and maids who worked on the railway trains. Randolph, Benjamin McLaurin, and Julius and Eliza Rosier Glass were natives of Jacksonville. Julius was a fireman on the Florida East Coast Line.

Rockstar's recently released Midnight Club: Los Angeles for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 will be receiving an update, but not the kind that will add new content of functionality. Instead, the R* team have tuned the beginning of the game to make progress easier.
"Obviously, we like to listen to our fans," R* vice president of development Jeronimo Barrera told Newsweek. "We've done a bit of tuning on the dynamic race structure so that early on, it will be easier for novice players to get to the later races." According to Barrera, the changes were made based on feedback from fans on message boards.
However, while the initial portion of the game has been made easier, Barrera insists that this won't affect the learning curve. "The way the structure is set up, you can do just the easy races and still progress," he explained. "Having truly open-world races—if you can't enjoy the red races, you'll definitely enjoy the yellow or the green races—it's almost like we're able to target a specific group with our fixes, without affecting the hardcore. You still have to play red races, but you won't have to beat them in order to progress."
It's nice to see the developers listening to fan feedback, and it sounds like the update will do a good job of eliminating some of the frustrating moments that could turn off certain games. The update should be available to 360 owners today, while PS3 gamers will have to wait until a later, unspecified, date.
