— $53 million matched, positioning Foundation for continued impact; opportunity and need persist in challenged research funding environment —
NEW YORK, Feb. 27, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research (MJFF) announced that with the help of the Parkinson's community, it has completed and surpassed the $50-million Brin Wojcicki Challenge. Longtime Foundation supporters Sergey Brin and Anne Wojcicki have matched more than $53 million in capacity-building gifts received by MJFF from January 1, 2011, to December 31, 2012.
Mr. Brin and Ms. Wojcicki, the Foundation's largest donors for several years running, spearheaded the Challenge to spur donors at every level to give, renew or increase giving to MJFF. Because of the enthusiasm and generosity of the Foundation's community of donors, Challenge-eligible giving exceeded the original goal by about $3 million — additional dollars that Mr. Brin and Ms. Wojcicki have agreed to match.
"Anne and Sergey's friendship to our Foundation and to Parkinson's patients worldwide is awe-inspiring," said Michael J. Fox. "As if a $50-million match weren't tremendous in its own right, they've gone above and beyond their initial commitment to match the $3 million extra ponied up by our incredible supporters. There's no doubt the Challenge has made our community stronger and more vibrant in its passionate pursuit of a cure."
Over the course of two years, the Challenge brought thousands of new contributors to MJFF. It also helped the Foundation reactivate relationships with thousands of supporters who had given prior to 2010, and motivated over 4,000 to stretch their giving in order to double the impact of their generosity.
Mr. Brin is co-founder of Google. Ms. Wojcicki is co-founder of 23andMe, a personal genetics company. With the completion of the Challenge, their personal giving to MJFF totals more than $157.5 million since 2004.
An opportune moment and an urgent need
Mr. Brin and Ms. Wojcicki chose an opportune moment in Parkinson's drug development to launch the Challenge. MJFF and most of its research partners believe that the pipeline of new Parkinson's treatments is as robust as it has been in decades, if not ever. Understanding of the factors underlying disease onset and progression is increasing, and insights from genetics are opening new avenues for therapeutic development. In the midst of this promising activity, government and commercial sources of research funding continue to dry up. Especially as more research approaches the clinic, where costs rise steeply, there has never been a more important time or a greater need for the Parkinson's community to work together to ensure funding sufficient to keep the most promising projects moving forward.
At the outset of 2013, MJFF remains focused on:
- The search for a disease-modifying treatment. This spring, results are expected from Ceregene, Inc.'s most recent MJFF-supported Phase 2 clinical trial of neurturin, a trophic factor that could help restore dopamine neurons in the Parkinson's brain. As Parkinson's genetics continues to revolutionize the field, MJFF is growing its initiatives focused on alpha-synuclein and LRRK2, the two most important genetic targets in PD. And in coming months the Foundation's landmark biomarker study, Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative (ppmi-info.org), will complete collection of baseline data (all of which has been made available to the research community at large in real time) and launch a new arm to study people at increased risk for the disease.
- Looking beyond the dopamine system. Today researchers understand that Parkinson's involves a constellation of symptoms that go well beyond dopamine signaling. MJFF-enabled partnerships with Bristol Myers Squibb, Sanofi, Addex and other major pharmaceutical firms are pushing new classes of symptomatic therapies, as well as treatments for cognition and dyskinesia, closer than ever to the clinic.
- Increasing the flow of willing volunteers for clinical research through Fox Trial Finder. Fox Trial Finder (foxtrialfinder.org) has registered more than 14,000 patient and control volunteers who want to be matched to the best trials for them. In 2013 the site comes online in five more European countries and aims to attain 30,000 registered volunteers by year-end.
"Our Foundation's promise to Parkinson's patients is to work urgently to identify and fund the projects closest or most critical to practical therapeutic relevance," said Todd Sherer, Ph.D., CEO of MJFF. "We're grateful to our Challenge participants and our entire community of supporters for helping us continue to fulfill that promise."

A critical component of any IoT project is what to do with all the data being generated. This data needs to be captured, processed, structured, and stored in a way to facilitate different kinds of queries. Traditional data warehouse and analytical systems are mature technologies that can be used to handle certain kinds of queries, but they are not always well suited to many problems, particularly when there is a need for real-time insights.

Early adopters of IoT viewed it mainly as a different term for machine-to-machine connectivity or M2M. This is understandable since a prerequisite for any IoT solution is the ability to collect and aggregate device data, which is most often presented in a dashboard. The problem is that viewing data in a dashboard requires a human to interpret the results and take manual action, which doesn't scale to the needs of IoT.

Much of IT terminology is often misused and misapplied. Modernization and transformation are two such terms. They are often used interchangeably even though they mean different things and have very different connotations. Indeed, it is somewhat safe to assume that in IT any transformative effort is likely to also have a modernizing effect, and thus, we can see these as levels of improvement efforts. However, many businesses are being led to believe if they don't transform now they risk becoming ...

Delhi gang-rape protests: Government may consider death penalty in rarest of rare rape cases
Zeenews Bureau
New Delhi: The rage spread, rapidly and steadily, through India`s national capital on Saturday as students, activists and just concerned citizens gathered at various places to protest the torture and gang-rape of a young woman.
Some demanding capital punishment to the perpetrators of the heinous crime, some chanting slogans against government's apathy, some protesting against Delhi police laxity, the angry protesters are demanding justice for the 23-year-old paramedical student, who was raped by a gang of six men in a moving bus in Delhi on Sunday night.
Rarely, if ever, have so many people taken to the streets in so many different places for a single cause. It seems to be an unstoppable momentum.
The Government is extremely concerned about the shocking occurrence of gang rape, which took place in Delhi on 16th December 2012, Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde said.
composed and optimistic about future, say doctors at Safdarjung Hospital. However, the chances of infection remain.

Mom of Colorado girl who shaved head for cancer-stricken pal says focus should be shifted
DENVER - The mother of a Grand Junction, Colo., third-grader who shaved her head in solidarity with a cancer-stricken friend is asking for an end to the national furor over a school's short-lived decision to bar her from campus, so the focus can shift to the recovery of her 11-year-old friend.
The board of directors of the charter school, the Caprock Academy, voted Tuesday to let Kamryn Renfro remain. Officials had earlier barred her, saying she violated the dress code by shaving her head over the weekend.
The Denver Post reported Wednesday that Kamryn's mother, Jamie Olson Renfro, took her daughter to Denver Tuesday to be with her friend ahead of a hospital visit. Renfro called on people who have been following the story to support Delaney Clements, who has been fighting childhood cancer since she was 7.

Sigma DP Quattro range gets new Foveon X3 sensor for super-quality compact camera shots
Sigma has developed a new "Quattro" sensor for its latest range of compact cameras in the DP series.
Sigma developed a new generation of Foveon X3 direct image sensor, called Quattro, for use in its re-designed DP range of compact cameras. The Foveon is similar to colour film as its multiple layers capture all the information that visible light tansmits, Sigma says.
Sigma has also redesigned the engine, lens and body for its DP series. The new cameras use Sigma's proprietary image processing technology to produce "incredible resolution, precise gradation, gorgeous colour, breathtaking realism with a 3D feel. In other words, full-bodied image quality", Sigma says.
Sigma hasn't revealed much more in the way of specifics on the range. But it says: "The new-generation DP series embodies Sigma's philosophy of creating cameras that produce works of art."
We'll have to wait and see if these bold claims prove true when we get a look at the first Sigma DP Quattro camera, hopefully soon.

If he was a coward or scared of Porter in any way then he wouldn't have signed for the fight in the first place.
Something about this fight is fishy though, from the very beginning.

I think that airbag to the face made him realize he shouldn't go to heavyweight... however, it is ironic that the force of the airbag is equal or worse than some bout clean hard punches to the face.

I would believe it if he can provide explanation on his recent disappearance from the media. He never really gave any when he surfaced, did he?
I suspect it's about PED cycling. Prove me wrong.

It has to be real. The fight isnt cancelled. He's not moving on to fight anyone else. Both guys must fight each other next. I dont like either guy, but the conspiracy theories are ridiculous.

Pretty sure there was a picture of his car were the airbags deployed... and that **** could've given him whiplash.
So not something to have 2 weeks before a fight I guess

GRIFFIN, Ga., Sept. 2, 2014 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- September 3, 2014 - Group 77 Solutions has announced the FALCON shipping case for high-value computer products. The FALCON shipping case is a patented re-usable design that can save original equipment manufacturers significant dollars over traditional single-use cardboard and foam packaging.
Photo - http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140902/141781
When asked why the FALCON is different from other shipping cases, President and CEO of Group 77 Solutions, Preston Varnadoe responded, "The Group 77 Solutions FALCON shipping case was designed from the ground up to provide the maximum protection for high-value computer equipment. Our patented shipping case has an 18U floating electronics rack with double shock protection and yet remains small enough to fit in the cargo bins of most passenger jets. The FALCON is also different because it has two separate accessory compartments and allows OEM's to ship all the components for their products with the products themselves. The design team has decades of experience in hundreds of computers rooms around the world and we used this knowledge to develop a product that promotes your company's professional image during all stages of the delivery cycle."
Group 77 Solutions also offers a range of "Logistics Management Services" to track, receive, warehouse and deliver client owned shipping cases.
Additional information on the Group 77 Solutions FALCON shipping case can be found on the company's website at: http://www.Group77Solutions.com.

So far, we've learned that George Parros' first job was mowing lawns, that Sheldon Brookbank didn't receive his first pair of new skates until he was 16 and that Cam Fowler wishes he could transform into a dolphin.
Now, we also know that Bobby Ryan cried after the Ducks were eliminated in the opening round of the playoffs last season by Nashville.
Yeah, "Duck Takes" has provided some interesting insight into the players on this team during the offseason.
The questions and answers will continue right up until and into the start of training camp, folks. So prepare to get to know your Ducks more intimately right here.

text: MY LITTLE PWNY INTRODUCTION Hello everyone. Moet here with another rmt, but with one of the best teams I have ever made. This team is built around the concept of sub cm Keldeo plus Banded Tyranitar. As we all know Sub Cm Keldeo has 4 walls: Lati@s, Jellicent and Toxicroak. And Tyranitar can effectively take out 3 of those 4 mons which would leave my Keldeo free to sweep. Of course its never that simple but with team support It gets the job done. I hope you all enjoy My Little Pwny. TEAM BUILDING My thinking Process (Move your mouse to reveal the content) My thinking Process (open) My thinking Process (close) So as stated in the intro the whole concept of the team was to be around the combo of band Tyranitar + Keldeo. So from there I knew in order to sweep with Keldeo I needed as many hazards as I could get. But I also wanted a spinner so deo-d nor ferrothorn was what a wanted. The only other thing i could think of was Forretress. And its been very invaluable so far. So next I noticed I had nothing to tank a hit from any Physical attacker, namely Terrakion or Dragonite. I also knew to make this work I would need Stealth Rocks along with spikes, but putting both on Forrey was out of the question seeing how it would overwhelm it. So I choose one of the best defensive walls in the game imo who could do both. Hippowdon. As I started to look over my team 2 huge problems stuck out to me. Breloom and Tornadus completely destroyed me. I had nothing to take the combo of Hurricane + Superpower and I also had nothing to stop Breloom after I sleep foddered something. One of the things that came to mind was Xatu but I knew that couldnt stop Tornadus. Then I thought of Zapdos who could also help with my small issue with rain. Lastly when I first played with this team I had Scarf Garchomp in the last spot simply as a Revenge Killer, but I was terribly weak to RP Genesect, which could set up on Hippo/Ttar locked into crunch or pursuit, and proceed to sweep me. So i started testing different things such as scarf Terrakion, and Band Breloom but in the end I decided on Ebelt Stoutland who can survive a Ebelt/LO ice beam from Genesect and KO back with Fire Fang. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Team ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Keldeo @ Leftovers Trait: Justified EVs: 252 SAtk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Secret Sword - Calm Mind - Substitute - Surf The set speaks for its self. I try to set a Sub up and Calm Mind as long as ! can till i can sweep. I also use it as just a revenge killer but its main job is to stay nice and healthy until I find the opportunity to sweep. 252 Special Attack and Speed is for max Speed and Power. 4 SDef is so that Genesect gets the Attack Boost. Tyranitar (F) @ Choice Band Trait: Sand Stream EVs: 252 HP / 156 Atk / 100 SDef Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk) - Crunch - Pursuit - Stone Edge - Superpower The thing that makes Keldeo work so well. Tyranitar. I didnt want to do a straight 252 Attack 252 Speed/HP because those sets had more power yes, but had no survivabilty. Plus Ttar doesnt need all that power Banded Pursuit/Crunch does plenty without full investment plus it allows me to switch into Politoed multiple times. Moves are pretty standard. I tried Low Kick > Superpower for a while but hitting things like Breloom and Rotom-W on the switch harder was better. Hippowdon (M) @ Leftovers Trait: Sand Stream EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk) - Earthquake - Ice Fang - Stealth Rock - Slack Off Standard Hippo is standard. 252 HP and Def allows for me to tank hits for days. Even plus 1 Dnite has trouble Ko'ing this thing. Anything weaker than that stands no chance against this beast. Earthquake and Ice Fang to inflict damage, Stealth Rocks becuase hazards are oh so helpful, and Slack Off because no good wall can perform well without recovery. I opted for Ice Fang over Whirlwind/Roar because It tends to be more helpful. Doing 70%~ to Dnite is great and catching Lando's on the switch is even better. Plus I dont become set-up fodder for Gliscor late game. Zapdos @ Leftovers Trait: Pressure EVs: 248 HP / 76 Def / 184 SDef Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk) - Roost - Thunderbolt - Hidden Power [Ice] - Heat Wave Zapdos has to be one of the most underrated pokemon in this meta. It works extremely well in this meta to the points where it can solo most rain team. And with some support its almost impossible to stop. 248 HP evs allow me the max HP while being able to come in on rocks a total of 4 times. 184 SDef is to tank most special hits such as Rotom-W's Hydro Pump and Scalds from various rain mons. 76 Def is as much as I felt like I could let go of from Sdef so I can take hits from Breloom better which I do effortlessly now. Thunderbolt is my main STAB for hitting all the Water types. Hidden Power Ice is for Landorus who think they can switch in on a Tbolt or who think a cant tank a LO HP Ice from them. And Heatwave is for Ferrothorn and Genesect and Scizor mainly. Forretress (M) @ Leftovers Trait: Sturdy EVs: 248 HP / 60 SAtk / 200 SDef Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk) - Volt Switch - Hidden Power [Ice] - Rapid Spin - Spikes SDef Forretress is another mon I feel like doesnt get enough love. It takes hits so much better on both sides such as Politoed/Tentacruel's scald while none banded Terrakion cant even 2hko it. And with 60 Special Attack I can 2hko Dragonite with sand damage. Spikes are standard hazards, and Rapid spin is to remove the standard hazards from my field. Volt switch is to gain momentum on in-coming Gengar's who wish to spin block and Tentacruel's who want to spin my hazards. And HP ice is for damage against Dragonite/Landorus etc. etc. Stoutland (F) @ Expert Belt Trait: Sand Rush EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk) - Ice Fang - Return - Fire Fang - Superpower Last but not least Stoutland. An extremely versatile pokemon that can revenge kill half the tier with ease. Max Attack and Speed with an Adamant nature is for max power. And while Outspeeding Keldeo, Terrakion, and the Lati@s that are scarfed can be useful at times I already have designated checks to each of those mons so there's no reason for me to outspeed them. Ice Fang and Fire Fang are to hit Landorus and Dragons and Genesect and other Steel types Respectively. Return is for STAB and Superpower is to hit Tyranitar's who think I'm choiced and plan to pursuit me. Closing Thoughts This team was/is fun to use and I say is because there's no way Im done using it.

The Railway Bridge (Latvian: Dzelzceļa tilts) is a bridge that crosses the Daugava river in Riga, the capital of Latvia.
The first iron railway bridge in Riga, over 600 ftm long, was erected in 1871-1872[1] for the Riga–Jelgava Railway.
The new bridge was inaugurated 1914, shelled twice, during World War I in 1917 and World War II in 1944, and was rebuilt both times.[2] The bridge is nowadays the only railway bridge in Riga.

GERRY Anderson, best known as the creator of Thunderbirds, has died at the age of 83.
The film and television producer, whose credits also included the puppet shows Captain Scarlet and Joe 90, had suffered for several years with mixed dementia and died in his sleep, his son announced on Wednesday.

Thunderbirds creator Gerry Anderson dies
Puppetry pioneer Gerry Anderson has died after suffering from Alzheimer's disease. Anderson changed the face of television after his much ridiculed - but hugely popular tv show, Thunderbirds.
The news came on his son Jamie Anderson's website. He wrote: ''I'm very sad to announce the death of my father, Thunderbirds creator, Gerry Anderson. He died peacefully in his sleep at midday today [December 26], having suffered with mixed dementia for the past few years.''
He requested that fans wishing to make donations in honour of his father should contribute to the Alzheimer's Society.
His website also included a tribute written by Anderson's fan club, known as Fanderson. Nick Williams, the chairman of the club, said: ''To those who met him, Gerry was a quiet, unassuming but determined man. Gerry's legacy is that he inspired so many people and continues to bring so much joy to so many millions of people around the world.''
Gerald Alexander Anderson - famous for the use of ''supermarionation'', or the use of modified puppets - was born in 1929 in Hampstead, north London, and began his career as a film trainee at the Ministry of Information before starting work at Gainsborough Pictures. He later set up AP Films with some friends.
With commissions thin on the ground Anderson and his team were eager to produce their first puppet show, The Adventures of Twizzle. Others including Torchy The Battery Boy, and Supercar followed. Success continued with Fireball XL5 and Stingray.
But it was Thunderbirds, filmed on the Slough Trading Estate in Berkshire, west of London, and first broadcast in 1965 that made his name. With the catchphrase ''Thunderbirds are go!'', the program revolved around International Rescue, a secret emergency service run by the Tracy family aided by London agent Lady Penelope and her butler, Parker.
Gerry Anderson leaves three children from former marriages, Joy, Linda and Gerry jnr, his son Jamie and wife Mary.

Product Description
A work of glorious intelligence and literary devices...Nonsense becomes a form of higher sense" (Malcolm Bradbury)
Alice in Wonderland is one of the top 25 books of all time. I always loved the book and I always loved the various characters, the psychedelic nature of it and kind-of odd allegorical stories inside stories. I always thought it was beautiful (Jonny Depp)
Wonderland and the world through the Looking Glass were, I always knew, different from other imagined worlds. Nothing could be changed, although things in the story were always changing...Carroll moves his readers as he moves chess pieces and playing cards (A. S. Byatt)
It would not have occurred to me even to suspect that the "children's tale" was in brilliant ways coded to be read by adults and was in fact an English classic, a universally acclaimed intellectual tour de force and what might be described as a psychological/anthropological dissection of Victorian England. It seems not to have occurred to me that the child- Alice of drawing rooms, servants, tea and crumpets and chess, was of a distinctly different background than my own. I must have been the ideal reader: credulous, unjudging, eager, thrilled. I knew only that I believed in Alice, absolutely." (Joyce Carol Oates)
The Alices are the greatest nonsense ever written, and far greater, in my view, than most sense (Philip Pullman) --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

To be sure, there are several ways in which the stories are similar, but not to the point where it detracts from the reader's enjoyment of the story. There are only three characters which appear in both books, one of which is Alice. The other notable characters (the Cheshire Cat, the Queen of Hearts, Tweedledum and Tweedledee, Humpty Dumpty, etc.) are well distributed between the two books. Thus there is a looking-glass between the two, just as the looking-glass plays such a key role in the second book.
The Penguin Classics edition of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass" includes both books including the illustrations by John Tenniel. It also includes the original "Alice's Adventures under Ground" which includes Lewis Carroll's artwork. For additional features, it includes `"Alice" on the Stage' an article which Lewis Carroll wrote after seeing a production of the stage version, and it includes preface's to the books which Lewis Carroll wrote in 1896 for the 1897 editions. There are wonderful notes for both books, and a very informative introduction by Hugh Haughton.Read more ›
I am guilty of often buying more than one copy of a book, one to read and one to keep.
This is one I would try to keep in good condition.
It has the original illustrations in it, looks like an 'old' book, one that would grace any library in a gothic type mansion.
As a book lover, I don;t just enjoy reading them, I enjoy collecting beautiful books too, and this is one of them.
I won;t comment on the story as, I suspect anyone looking at this knows the story very well but, if you want a beautiful book that you'll want to keep safe forever, this is certainly one.

Grave concerns persist for some 20 million people in the Sahel. Recurrent conflict, erratic weather patterns, epidemics and other shocks continue to weaken the resilience of households across a region still suffering chronic levels of food insecurity and malnutrition.
An estimated 20.4 million people remain food insecure at the start of 2015. At least 2.6 million people have already crossed the crisis threshold, 70 percent of whom are in Niger, Nigeria, Mali and Chad where insecurity and poverty compound food insecurity.
Epidemics continue to demand urgent attention in 2015. Besides cholera, meningitis, Lassa and yellow fever, more recently, Ebola has been posing a serious threat to the Sahel region and has already impacted Mali, Nigeria, and Mali directly.
Beyond the chronic threats of food insecurity, malnutrition and epidemics, violent conflict in and around the Sahel region has led to a surge in population displacement. The region begins 2015 with some 2.8 million people displaced; over a million more than in early 2014. With escalating conflict in northeast Nigeria, an estimated one million people have been internally displaced. Some 150,000 Nigerian refugees have fled to neighbouring Niger, Chad and Cameroon. The volatile security situation in northern Mali continues to have a devastating impact on civilians, hampering the return of refugees, affecting markets and preventing the full restoration of basic services. Some 133,000 Malian refugees remain in Mauritania, Niger and Burkina Faso and more than 80,000 Malians remain internally displaced. As in Nigeria, high levels of insecurity in northern Mali also greatly impact the ability of humanitarians to access those in need. (Sahel: A call for humanitarian aid, 12 Feb 2015)
Due to the ongoing crisis in the Lake Chad Basin, Chad is now the seventh largest refugee-hosting country in the world with over 750,000 displaced persons, the majority of whom are refugees or Chadian returnees who fled from the Central African Republic, Libya, Nigeria, and Sudan. At the end of August, the Regional Humanitarian Coordinator for the Sahel called on the international community to ramp up its support in response to the multi-faceted humanitarian challenges affecting the country. (OCHA, 27 Aug 2015)
On 9 December 2015, United Nations agencies and partners launched the Sahel humanitarian appeal for 2016. The regional plan calls for US$1.98 billion to provide vital assistance to millions of people affected by crises in nine countries across Africa's Sahel region. (OCHA, 9 Dec 2015)
As of 22 July 2016, the Humanitarian Response Plan for the Sahel was 25% funded. (OCHA, 22 July 2016)

How Can Mexicans Make Americans Like Mexicans?
DEAR MEXICAN: What do we need to do to make the güeros understand we come in peace? As Mexicans, we are from this great American continent as well, but as for the average, close-minded, English-speaking folks, it's amusing they don't understand what the definition of "American" really is. Unless you are from one of the few nature-communing groups of people now dubbed "Native Americans," then you cannot say you are American, as either yourself, your parents, your grandparents or your great-grandparents (you get the point) came from the Old World and hence have been in this land "illegally" for much much longer than us bean-lovers. So I repeat my question: How can we make these gringos understand we come in peace? That we are here to live a good life in peace and to take it or leave it: We are here TO STAY! Help me make these McDonalders understand already, so we can all learn from one another and live in peace!
El Frijolero
DEAR BEANER: Gracias for showing Americans that Mexis can be as meandering as gabachos. As to your question: Shit, we've tried everything to Hispander to gabachos over the years. We gave them half of Mexico, we called ourselves "Spanish," we considered ourselves white, we made amazing dishes that other gabachos turned into multimillion-dollar empires—and still, they hate us. What to do? Not a single pinche thing: Mexicans in this country are no longer at a place at which we have to grovel to anyone. If gabachos don't want to accept that aquí estamos and we ain't vamos, then they deserve the beautiful brown grandkids that are coming their way.

DEAR MEXICAN: I noticed that my favorite candies are primarily made out of chile and tamarindo. I understand that chile is indigenous to the Americas, but tamarindo is not. I found that tamarindo originates from the Middle East and Africa. And through the slave trade and the dreadful European expansion, tamarindo found its delicious way to the Americas. What I don't get is how and why tamarindo became so popular among nuestra gente? We consume mega-tons of it! We drink it, we make candy out of it, I sometimes have dreams about it . . . ¿que onda?
Pocho Del Ocho
DEAR POCHO: Actually, tamarind came to Mexico through the Manila galleons and has no Middle Eastern connection whatsoever—the Levantine's contribution to Mexico's fruit culture is granada (pomegranates) via the Spaniards via the Moors. But it was only by a brain pedo of God that tamarind isn't native to Mexico, as no other culture, save certain Hindoos, loves it the way we do. It's not much of a mystery: Mexicans love sweets with tropical verve and fleshiness, whether it's mamey, mangoes, papayas, guanábana, tunas (the prickly pear) or boring-ass pineapple. But tamarind is the king of the jungle because, as you pointed out, we can turn it into so many things: ice cream, fruit leather, salads, salsas, paletas and so much more—even have it on chocolate. And when we pair it with chile (which we always do), it's the greatest product of foreign-yet-similar cultures since the leprecano.
