Trio of Brazilian researchers receive support from Bill Gates
A project to accelerate the production of drugs for parasitic diseases still common in Brazil and Africa
and two to facilitate plantation with low-cost techniques will receive funding from billionaire Bill Gates of
Microsoft. Each of the three Brazilian researchers responsible for the plans will receive a sponsorship of US$
100,000 (R$ 219,000), which _____ be extended to US$ 1 million (R$ 2.19 million) if the execution of the idea
is well received. Their win _____ be announced at a conference sponsored by the Bill and Melinda Gates
Foundation, which begins today in Rio.
Of 2,700 entries, 80 were selected, including Rio pharmacist Floriano Paes Silva Júnior, São Paulo
agronomic engineer Mateus Marrafon and mechanical engineer Ricardo Capúcio de Resende, from Minas
Gerais. Silva Júnior, 35, who works at the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (Fiocruz) in Rio, proposed the
development of a software capable of interpreting images of parasites taken with a microscope to assess which
existing drugs _____ be useful in combating them. This automated analysis of the parasite’s reaction to the
substance could help discover what is the optimal dose to kill them. Currently, a researcher who observes and
interprets the characteristics of what causes the disease, which leads to conclusions that are not always
consistent, does this assessment.
Marrafon, 29, a researcher at the Kairós Institute, has developed prototypes of a biodegradable tape
that has seeds selected from a given crop. Inside the tape, which is buried underground, the seeds are
distributed in accordance with the ideal spacing for growth. Resende, 47, of the Federal University of Viçosa,
also thought of a tool that helps during plantation. He designed a machine with two wheels capable of making
holes in the ground while simultaneously sowing seeds. It _____be the artisanal option for automated seeders
to use on large properties.
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation also confirmed its partnership with the government of Brazil.

Brooke Mueller: “I’m going after Charlie!”
Brooke Mueller is on the attack … gunning for Charlie Sheen, who insulted her, drug addict and
terrible parent on TMZ — and if she gets her way Charlie could end up in jail.
We just received a subpoena from Brooke’s lawyers, ordering us to preserve the video and audio
interviews we did with Charlie last Friday. Where to begin. Charlie said Brooke has damaged their twins
emotionally, to the point they’re on the verge of getting kicked out of school. He says every time the kids visit
with Brooke, they come home completely freaked out and suffer from night terrors.
Our sources say Brooke’s lawyers will go to court with our video and audio and argue Charlie has
violated the gag order and should be punished — possibly with jail — and have his visitation curtailed.
Charlie told us the L.A. County Dept. of Children and Family Services cares more about protecting and
rehabilitating Brooke than protecting the twins. He insulted the judge in the case and also called him fat.
