My background in medical and molecular entomology and vector biology
has led to my role as a principal investigator on many research projects
on vector-borne diseases (particularly dengue, Chagas and West Nile
virus), instructor of graduate courses on vector biology and ecology at
the Department of Tropical Medicine at the Tulane School of Public
Health and Tropical Medicine, director of the training program in
vector-borne diseases at Tulane, and director of Tulane's Vector-Borne
Infectious Diseases Initiative. My research interests
include the ecology of arbovirus transmission, host-pathogen
co-evolution, development of novel vector control strategies and tools,
and examining the effects of vector-borne pathogen infection on human
pregnancy outcomes. I have mentored more than 120 graduate (MSPH and PhD) students and numerous post-doctoral researchers.

If you have more allies then enemies then you'll have more help. The problem I have on Age of Empires III is that I can never get any better than I am. This is kind of a question as well. Is there a way to get stronger, faster and smarter on playing a game like Age of Empires? A strong team is one way. But you don't want to pull your friends down with you.

text: If you've played Minecraft, as basic as that game is, one thing that's really good about it is how health regeneration is handled. There are no health potions. If you're low on health, you need to actually kill some pigs for meat, go fishing, gather mushrooms or bake cakes. That's something that made that world feel "real", that you actually had to use nature to survive. It was also something that was missing from Oblivion. You just had too many light-weight extremely powerful potions lying around that doing something interesting like hunting deer would serve no practical purpose.

The death penalty verdict in the trial of the Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has been presented as a rational outcome of the facts, yet other terrorists whose acts were far more destructive, like the 9/11 conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui, have been shown mercy.
The jury that convicted the accused in the Boston Marathon bombing was biased before the trial even started, a wave of suicides is sweeping through a town in California and an activist works toward getting women to "free the nipple." These discoveries and more after the jump.
Unlike the guilt phase of the trial, the outcome of which was never in doubt, the penalty segment will be a slugfest pitting two diametrically opposed narratives of criminal justice.
In a now-viral quip, the comedian compares former One Direction singer Zayn Malik to convicted Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 21, has been convicted on all counts in the Boston Marathon bombings. Here are some of the ways the Tsarnaev brothers broke Muslim law.
A jury in Boston has returned a guilty verdict on all 30 counts against the Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.
The verdict is in on the Boston bombing trial, leaving the jury to deliberate over whether Dzhokhar Tsarnaev should receive the death penalty or a life sentence for his role in the 2013 tragedy.
Leslie McGrath's poem gives us an intimate look into a person's mind in the immediate aftermath of the April 15, 2013, tragedy.
To a nation riveted by the televised trials of O.J. Simpson and Casey Anthony, following a life-or-death courtroom drama with no cameras is proving to be a nail-biter.
Ultimately the fate of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, and the process by which it is decided, will reflect the fairness of the U.S. justice system, the humanity of American society and our role in the world.

On Monday, Boston responded with its vigorous spirit of community and transcendence to the cowardly terrorism that marred the marathon in 2013, coming out in record numbers for this year's event.

In a very real way, the future of the death penalty—a barbaric relic of a bygone era abolished by more than two-thirds of the world's nations—will also be on trial with the suspected Boston Marathon bomber.
Truthdig Editor-in-Chief Robert Scheer and the other "Left, Right & Center" panelists discuss the Motor City's declaration of bankruptcy, the neighborhood watch captain's not guilty verdict and Boston bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's appearance on the cover of Rolling Stone.

America's apparent outrage over the Rolling Stone cover featuring a photo of accused Boston bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev reveals a great deal about this country's insecurities and prejudices.
Chechen scholar Thomas Goltz gives a historical primer on the centuries old culture and struggle that shaped the Tsarnaev brothers, suspects in the bombings of the Boston Marathon.
A note that Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is said to have left on an interior wall of the boat where police found him after the April 15 attacks claimed responsibility for the bombings and described them as retribution for the U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, saying the Boston dead were "collateral damage" in the same way Muslims are in the American-led conflicts.
According to a recent Washington Post-ABC News poll, more than 70 percent of Americans support the death penalty for 19-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev if he is found guilty of perpetrating the Boston Marathon bombing.
A look at the day's political happenings, including Bill Maher suggests a new rule for those who want to strip away constitutional rights to ensure "justice" and former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords gets a well-deserved honor.
The political response to the Boston Marathon bombings suggests that we live in an age of shrink-wrapped, prepackaged opinions. When something new comes along, we hasten to squeeze it into whatever frameworks we were carrying around with us a day, a month or a year before.
AP/Robin Young
If convicted, 19-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev could face the death penalty.
With the arrest and unlawful interrogation in the name of "public safety" of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the 19-year-old accused of the Boston Marathon bombings, Americans risk the erosion of rules that protect them from threats from their government in the absence of a lawyer, Guardian columnist Glenn Greenwald told Amy Goodman on "Democracy Now!" on Monday.
Should Dzhokhar Tsarnaev have been denied his Miranda rights and should he be charged as an enemy combatant?
A look at the day's political happenings, including the husband of an Arkansas Republican Party official suggests shooting GOP lawmakers over Medicaid expansion and a New York state lawmaker advocates torturing the Boston bombing suspect.
Republican Sens. Lindsey Graham and John McCain have demanded that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev be charged as an "enemy combatant" rather than as an American civilian. I have to ask whether their use of the term is racist.
AP/Julio Cortez
After the capture of Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, civil rights activists and officials are disputing whether it was acceptable for police to deprive him of his Miranda rights, and whether he should be classified as an enemy combatant and denied a lawyer.

As far as the "what if I had too" scenario, here's a little trick I use sometimes when I use the interstate for a short cut to better roads: There will always be a knot of traffic cruising at 60-65 instead of 80. These are usually a loaded down pick up, or a station wagon full of kids, or a camper/motorhome. Tuck in behind and cruise. Although motorcycles are invisible to some drivers, being with another vehicle that is visible keeps you safe, and allows you to cruise at RE speeds while doing it.
Dude, I have the utmost respect for anyone who had the cajones to go with one of the Chinese bikes. That is what you bought , isn't it ? Those are going to be everywhere soon and I have a feeling it is going to be like jap/bike vs. brit/bike alover again only this time it will be Chinese vs. japanese. (c'mon, does anyone think yanks figure in this is deluded) If you you like cruisung around then come with us! These bikes are more maintenance but the connection you build with your bike and the new friends you make cannot be measured! Common, Be A Bulleteer!
Brian:You mentioned you like the green. When I saw my future bike I liked the style, but the green just seemed to go w/the bike and sidecar rig. The RE folks say the color is green velvet, I prefer British racing green. Sort of reminds mine of the ol' Spitfire of WW2. THere are plenty of folks here that like the military bike and OD color. I spent most of my adult life wearing OD colors so I like the bright dark green. Also highlights the nose art on my Cozy sidecar. Great for carrying fishing gear, a fishing buddy and or wife. I have a couple of pics in the members rides photo gallery. Welcome on board.

I am not a financial analyst, I don't play one on TV and neither did I stay in Holiday inn express last night but I would like to ponder on the valuation of a certain business model. There is so much clamoring for a piece of the advertising pie that I decided to check out what this hoopla I all about. I am not claiming that all these #s are totally accurate. They are back of the envelope calculations at best and take it for what its worth ( close to nothing ).
WW total spend on Advertising ( online + print+ media+ hoardings + etc ) = $500 Billion
Online advertising today = ( less than ) $20 Bil
This segment is projected to grow immensely
Say in 5 years Online advertising = ( less than ) $100 Bil ( 20% of overall advertising ) – BEST case
Google market share today is about 30 % - lets say it grown in the best case to about 40% which will put their share to 40 Billion
Margins in content publishing business will reach an equilibrium of 20% - even at a high end say it is at 30% -> GOOG's margin is 12 Bil
For arguments sake, I am going to assume that google doesn't really get much traction on other revenue streams other than advertising ( search, placement, display etc )
Let's take an earnings multiple of 15-20X considering the risk, potential upside outside of this core business etc -> 180- 240Bil market cap – today GOOG's market cap was 138 – some room for growth huh?
Supporting evidence
I know that you are itching to ask me why I took an revenue multiple and not an earnings multiple- the answer is that I think the earnings ( driven largely by the margins ) are going to wildly fluctuate in the next few years before it reaches an equilibrium. Of 20%. It might even increase in the short run before it starts coming down.

Play as a God Tank in The Guided Fate Paradox - PreviewKarl Koebke, posted on 16 June 2013 / 1,434 Views
The Guided Fate Paradox is the story of God. Well, ok, not the sort of God most people think of, more like a God who just won all of his powers from a mall raffle. It's a rogue-like game with a peculiar sense of style that should interest fans of the genre.
I'll admit I've never actually been into rogue-like games but it's something I've always been meaning to try. The genre is defined by how difficult dungeon crawling is with every movement you take draining a bit of your energy until you have to cut and run or die trying. The Guided Fate Paradox's system actually lets you keep your levels if you die, but all of the items and money you've collected will be discarded. It's a harsh world we live in, I suppose.
One of the first things I noticed about my character was that he didn't actually have any legs. Instead he had tank treads where his legs should have been. This is actually a sign of something that so many Japanese RPGs miss out on: equipment that's visible on the character. Beyond just giving stats and a cool outfit, though, each piece of equipment actually has a special attack connected to it. If it breaks, you lose that ability, but you can change your equipment for free so you can always toss on a spare you brought with you or found during the trip.
As Ryan Phillips from NISA ran me through the dungeon I noticed that each enemy has an area around them highlighted. This was apparently the monsters' aggro radius. If you entered it would come running. You aren't facing this alone, though, we went into the game with an angelic sub-character who you could give general instructions to but who mostly did her own thing while following along.
While the visual style borrows a lot from NIS's Disgaea series it's much faster paced, with special attacks that weren't even long enough to press R2 and skip. That could change as things progress, though. My time with the game was pretty short so I'm afraid that's all I have to report, but look for more on The Guided Fate Paradox as it gets nearer to release in Fall 2013 for the PlayStation 3.

Sing It Again, Klinghoffer: Andrew Billen Thinks Television Should Be Brave and Show More Opera. (Television)
Billen, Andrew, New Statesman (1996)
I once asked the co-creator of NYPD Blue, Steven Bochco, why his series Cop Rock lasted only six episodes. "Embarrassment," he replied. "People found it too damn embarrassing to watch." The problem was that four times in each programme his policemen would break into song.
I am sure he was right, yet there is nothing intrinsically impossible about having characters singing, even in so apparently naturalistic a medium as television. After all, in real life car chases aren't orchestrated, yet we accept the convention of incidental music. In the heyday of the Hollywood musical, Judy Garland would break into song on trains. Singing worked for Dennis Potter in Pennies from Heaven. Sometimes, television is so histrionic that it seems to strain towards the condition of music, as the authors of ferry Springer: the opera noticed. And the soaps are not called operas for nothing.
Why, then, has television become so phobic about opera? One reason, I think, is that for a long time it did what it had long ceased to attempt to do with nonlyric theatre: it simply pointed the camera at the stage, which is the most boring approach of all. The answer is not to televise opera, but to make opera into television - and this is exactly what Channel 4 did by commissioning Penny Woolcock to remake John Adams's The Death of Klinghoffer (Sunday 25 May). Woolcock duly filmed this controversial 1991 opera, about the hijacking of the Achille Lauro cruise ship by Palestinian terrorists in 1985, as if it were one of her regular docudramas, which is to say with only slightly heightened visual realism.
Potentially, this was going to make the artificiality of the sound all the more obvious. Because of the long choral introduction, it was 19 minutes before anyone actually burst into song, and, I have to admit, I was dreading it. Yet within a few minutes it seemed the most natural thing in the world for a bunch of middle-aged American tourists to be singing about their visit to the Pyramids and their hip operations. The singing was neither absurd nor pretentious, but it alerted the hearer that the chatter took place against the background of history.
Klinghoffer is one of those pieces that believe of causes, and the causes of causes, there is no end. Its opening words come from its Chorus of Exiled Palestinians: "My father's house was razed/In 1948/ When the Israelis passed/Over our street." The Chorus of Exiled Jews then comes on and sings us back to the Holocaust. The second act, prefaced by a to-camera piece on what looks like Channel 4 News, retold the story of Ishmael, outcast son of Abraham, ancestor of the Arabs and half brother of Isaac. …

Pam Young found herself giving cash for gifts more frequently as it became more difficult to anticipate loved ones' wants and needs.
She saw the practicality in giving money, which saves the hassle of wrapping paper and the worry of whether you scored the right gift. But it just wasn't any fun.
So Young, ever creative, invented a set of stickers to dress up George, Abe, Alexander and even Benjamin, if you're feeling that generous.
Young was once better known as half of Vancouver's Slob Sisters, the persona she and her sister, Peggy Jones, adopted 30 years ago when they wrote the book "Sidetracked Home Executives." But she has pursued a number of other ventures since then, Stick it Right on the Money being the latest.
Young, a 66-year-old Woodland resident, said she first came up with the money sticker idea when the U.S. Treasury came out with new designs for bills.
"They struck me funny," Young said. "When I really look at Lincoln, he looks about a cork away from Betty Ford. I was embarrassed for our money."
She connected with illustrator Diana Bonin, who drew hats, lips, eyes, ears and other humorous embellishments for the presidents.
"She illustrated the stickers to fit exactly," Young said.
When Bonin died in 2008, Young nearly lost heart for the project. But she found Rose City Label in Portland to turn the drawings into stickers that don't damage the bills. A portion of the proceeds from the sticker sets, priced at $14, go to Diana's husband, Pat.
A set includes 88 stickers and 12 frames. They are available at http://www.innerkiddies.com/site/?page_id=240.
"It's just a great way to give money," Young said, "and you get to be creative."

How new is web surfing to most people? They don't know how to travel directly to their destinations, says Alexa Research.
A comprehensive two-year study by Alexa Research, a web intelligence and traffic measurement service, reveals that many web users do not know how to reach their intended web destination directly. Alexa reached its conclusion after studying the searching habits of millions of consumers. Rather than entering a uniform resource locator into the address field of their web browsers, millions of Internet users enter the name of the site they want into the search box of their home page or other search engine. These findings are based on an examination of more than 42 million search pages viewed in aggregate by users of the Alexa toolbar at ten of the Internet`s leading portals and search engines--altavista.com, aol.com, excite.com, go.com, google.com, goto.com, lycos.com, msn.com, netscape.com, and yahoo.com--between March 1999 and January 2001. "Based on the results of this study, we believe that the web is still a technical hurdle many people have not yet cleared," said Matthew Work, vice president of Alexa Research. "We were surprised by the number of people that accessed web sites by entering site names as search terms rather than just typing them in the address field of their browser. This study shows that for many, there`s a conceptual misunderstanding of how to effectively navigate the web. Some people think that their home page is the Web, that they have to go through their home page to get to the site they want, without realizing that any web site can be accessed directly. This notion is supported by our web traffic popularity rankings, where eight of the top 10 sites are portals and/or search engines."

As I was driving home from fire practice, I was pulled over.
Apparently I have a headlight out.
Thank you to the two nice officers who pulled me over. I was terribly confused as to why I was being summoned to the side of the road. I think you picked up on this when I said "Hello. Can I help you?"
Why am I glad? I hate being the guy with the headlight out...so your bringing it to my attention was nice.
Have a great night, ma'ams.
Any of you ever had any nice cop experiences?

Scripps study: diesel rules combat climate change
State diesel rules aimed at improving public health have also reduced levels of black carbon, a potent contributor to climate change, according to a new report commissioned by the California Air Resources Board.
The study was led by Veerabhadran Ramanathan, a professor of climate science at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla who collaborated with the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Richland, Wash.
California has targeted diesel pollution for decades, including a series of measures starting in 2000. One of the most controversial diesel mandates was approved in 2008, focusing on diesel-powered trucks and buses, as part of a sweeping set of regulations designed to meet federal air-quality standards and cut down on cases of respiratory illness and premature death. Supporters have hailed it as a major tool for battling asthma and cancer, while opponents have said it's an overly aggressive measure that has cost many jobs.
Ramanathan and his colleagues said their conservative estimate shows the diesel requirements may slow climate change by curbing the equivalent of 21 million metric tons of carbon dioxide annually. That's about the same as taking more than 4 million vehicles off the road every year, the report concluded.
"Diesel is a toxin and is high on our list of dangerous emissions, so we're really getting a global warming benefit as well as a public health benefit as a result of reducing diesel exhaust," said San Diego County Supervisor Ron Roberts, who has also served on the Air Resources Board during its years of discussion about diesel pollution.
There's general consensus among scientists that the world's climate is warming and that fossil-fuel combustion is likely the leading cause. While carbon dioxide is the main contributor, black carbon produced by diesel exhaust and other emissions is No. 2, Ramanathan said.
His globe-trotting work, from China to California, has examined short-lived greenhouse compounds including black carbon, which lasts two weeks in the atmosphere, compared to carbon dioxide, which can persist for centuries. So cutting diesel emissions can swiftly reduce the rate of climate change, he said. "If this can be replicated worldwide, we can reduce projected global warming by as much as 15 percent over the next 30 years," Ramanathan said.
The Air Resources Board commissioned the report through a competitive-bid process, ultimately selecting Ramanathan and his collaborators.
To conduct the study, Ramanathan said, the scientists examined decades of black-carbon measurements. "From the 1980s, black carbon had come down 50 percent," he said. "Since the 1960s, the amount of soot we put out came down by 90 percent."
Diesel use rose three- to four-fold during the same period, he said, but improved fuel formulations and engine filters slashed the amount of black carbon emitted.
Early on, concentrations of black carbon dropped in California because of state rules controlling tailpipe emissions and the burning of trash and coal, said Melanie Turner, a spokeswoman for the board. Upcoming phases will address diesel exhaust from agricultural equipment, she said.
When the Air Resources Board voted unanimously in 2008 to adopt the diesel rules pertaining to diesel-powered vehicles, it sided with the agency's research and a history of past studies by others linking diesel pollution to various health problems.
At the time, advocates of the regulations said the mandate to replace or retrofit up to 1 million trucks and buses would prevent tens of thousands of asthma cases and save up to $68 billion in lost work days during the next 15 years.
Industry officials didn't dispute the health connections, but said the state's actions were extreme because they didn't adequately account for the economic impact on a wide range of businesses that use diesel-powered vehicles, from beekeepers in North County to long-haul truckers based in the San Joaquin Valley. They pointed to a widely agreed-upon projection that the rules would cost industry an estimated $5.5 billion by 2023.

The Indians, about one thousand strong, attacked the camp at 4 o'clock p.m., while the company were watering '.heir horses. In the dash three men were killed, a number wounded, and thirty bones captured; butlho colored soldiers retreated in good order to the post, where, getting their Spencer car- oiiios, they furiously assaulted the savages, driving them into the old post works near tho camp, where the lusted until late in the night, when the ludians gave way iu confu- sion.

ASDUKW JOIIKSON. 'janrary 29, 1867. i'HOM GKNEIUI, CHANT, T'llEADQUAKTKHS Ai'.MY U.S., Jan. 2'J, Excellency, Andrew Johnson, Ptesident of the United Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the re- turn of mv note of the 20th inst., with your endorsement thereon that 1 am not to oboy any order from the War Department assumed 10 be issued by direction of the President unless huch order is known by me to have been authorized by the Executive; and in reply thcreuuto losay that I am informed by the Secretary of War that he has not re- ceived from the Executive any order or in- structions limiting or impairing his authority to issue order to the army, as has heretofore been his practice under the, law and the cus- tom of the Department. While this author- ity to the War Department is not counter- manded, it will be satisfactory evidence to me that any orders issued from the War De- partment by direction of tho President are authorized by the Executive. I have the honor to be, very respectfully, your obedient servant, U. S. GRANT, General. VROJI TUB ted was a gcnhra! principle, and, if I should change my mind' in particuUr case, I would inform him of the (act. Subsequently, on the Tenure of O'Vice bill closely, I found iliht I could without violating tha law, rcfiiKo to vucutp this ollice of Secre- tary of War the'' rjjqiijsiit Mr. Stanton was reinstated by the even though the thatyoudtd not suppose the Senate would act so on Monday you had beenengagcd iu conference with General Sherman, and were occupied with many little matters, ask- ing me if General Sherman had not called on' that day, The President then says that instead of having stated our conversation of January M as given in your letter, yi.u admitted lhat my recital of them was entirely accurate." Sincerely anxious, however, to be correct in mj statements, I have to-day read this narrative of what occurred on the 14th insl., to the members of the Cabinet who were then present. They, without exception, agree in its accuracy. It id ou'y necessary lo ndd that on Wednesday morning, the 15th, you rallied on me, in company with Lieutenant General Sherman, and, alter some prelimi- nary conversation, you remarked that an ar- ticle in the National Intelligencer of lhat date did you much injustice. I replied that I had not read the Intelligencer of thut morning. You first told me that it was your inten- tion to urge Mr. Stanton to resign his of- fice. After you had withdrawn, I carefully read the article of which yon had spoken, and found lhat its statement of the mis- understanding between us was sub- stantially correct. On tho 17th I caused il lo be read to four of ihe five mem bers of the Cabinet, who were pressut at our conference on the Mth, and they concurred in the general accuracy ot its statements re- specting our conversation upon lhat occasion. In reply to vour cimuiumuaiion, I have deemed it proper, in order to prevent fur- ther misunderstanding, to make this simple recital of farts. Very respectfully yours, AXDIIKW JoitJfsoy. Gen. U. S. Grant, commanding U. S. army. KUOM GKSKKAI, GKANT. Under date of February 3, General Grant my superior and your subordinate, without countermanded Isis authority. With the assurance, Mr. that nothing but a vindication of my personal honor and character could have induced this con'RSpondence on my part, I have llie honor to bo, very resppctlully, your obedient servant, U. S. GRIST, General. Smuggling Devices. In the days when high-hneled French boots were in tho pride of fashion, there was a shoemaker in London who made a fortune by the sale of I ho bnst Paris boots, at a price which all his fellow tradesmen declared inous. lit? undersold the Irade, and ob- tained troops of customers. These boots must be stolen, said his rivals but there was no evidence that tboy were certainly they were not smuggled bools, for any one could satisfy himself lhat the full duty was paid ou them at the custom-house. Tho shoemaker retired from business with a fortune. After- ward his secret was accidentally discovered although he had paid duty for the boots, he i had not naid duty for everything that was in them. There was a heavy duly payable on foreign watches, and every boot consigned to him from Paris had contained in its high hoel a cavity exactly large enough to hold a walch. The great profits obtained by the trada in smuggling watches made it possible for this tradesman, when he had filled up their heels, to sell his boots under prime cost. This is worth while, again, because of course by the-exteimion of his boot trade he, increased his power of importing watches duty free. Some years later an elderly lady and a lap dog traveled a good deal between Dover and. Oslend. It came to be generally considered at the custom-house tha t her travels were for the sole purpose of smuggling Brussels soon again. The negroes fought with a say- age desperation that astonished the red men, who, no doubt, thought they could easily cap- ture the po.-U and i'.s small Ea-rison. The garrison (Company B, 9th United States about seventy m -n, were en- listed in Kentucky by General Brisbin, and nearly nil of '.hem bad seen service in the army during the war. Another Indian balt'.e with the negroes is reported to have taken j luce at Kugle Springs, lasting six hours, Collisions at Sea. Landsmen are frequently eurprise.l at hearing of collisions ut sea, thinking it strange that.with apparently unlimited room, vessels do not always turn out for each other iu time to avoid ,iuch accidents.

My lbs has the King Joe on sale this week for $119.99 while another has the Bones for $124.99 next week. Both are supposed to fit my car, a 99 Saturn Sl2.

"I proudly and honorably served my country in the United States Air Force. My many stops included places like Afghanistan, Korea, and Germany. And it was in my time in the military that I developed my passion and desire to want to help those who were injured in Iraq and Afghanistan. My goal is to go to school and help research and combat PTSD and Traumatic Brain Injury. These are ailments and issues that affect hundreds of thousands of troops who deploy and will continue to affect hundreds of thousands over the next years to come. I had an interesting story. But I didn't know how to develop it. I was a 2.0 student in high school. I never took the ACT or SAT as I always knew that I wanted to serve. But when I came across Ivy Coach and the generous people like Brian Taylor and Bev Taylor, they helped me hone my story into something that was compelling and exciting and really helped me develop as a writer. And for that, I am forever grateful. It makes me think, you know, a lot of people will give up their seats to the men and women in uniform for getting on an airplane but not a lot of people will give up their precious time and resources just to help someone achieve a dream. After the many ups and downs of the admissions process, I got accepted to my #1 choice. I will be attending Johns Hopkins University in their cognitive science program in the fall of 2015. I am forever grateful to Ivy Coach and to Brian and Bev Taylor. Thank you very much for helping me achieve my dream. I'll be forever grateful." ~Chris Piro

Additional Information
More information about this loan
This loan is designed for poor clients living in rural areas with high levels of crime and social conflict. These clients, working primarily in agriculture, are often ineligible for credit from formal financial institutions because of the high-crime area they live in, their lack of adequate collateral (like a land title), and the likelihood of low agricultural production due to bad weather or pests. Fundación Paraguaya is committed to serving these clients with loans and other wraparound services tailored to their needs. It also provides clients working in agriculture with access to discounted training courses at a local agricultural school to teach them how to improve their crop yields.
About Fundación ParaguayaFundación Paraguaya is a financially self-sustaining social enterprise that promotes entrepreneurship in urban and rural areas through microfinance, education programs, and more. Its focus on agriculture has helped many farmers boost their crop yields. And a number of other borrowers have taken out loans to start and grow social businesses that have helped deliver eyeglasses, medicines and other helpful services in their local communities.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

than the other... but I have a tendency to prefer more complex stories. It's a case of big-risk-big-reward, and while a lot of them end up falling flat on their faces due to plot holes or just swallowing their own metaphorical tales or just becoming too convoluted for their own good, it's really thrilling to watch something inventive and groundbreaking and to see it pull it off without a hitch!
Having said that, the story isn't everything when it comes to narrative entertainment. If the most satisfyingly complex story in the world doesn't have characters that you can relate to, or is filled with bad acting, or it just
bad from a technical point of view, that can sour your experience of what should be a great story. Lots of my favourite films/TV shows fall into the 'complex narrative' camp, but a great deal of others are just 'simple stories, well told'. That's why I said one isn't necessarily better than the other.
