Enjoy softwares of my recomendation-firefox

Writing by me on Sunday, 26 of March , 2006 at 1:32 pm

There Is Just One Thing Which Is Constant In Life And That Is Change. Internet explorer has really lost its battle in terms of the number of people who use it. This is because whoever downloads and uses firefox once in life never ever reverts back to internet explorer. And I have always loved it. But I really recommend to use the skin ifox.

A vaginal gel may help prevent AIDS

Writing by me on Tuesday, 14 of March , 2006 at 11:03 am

PROVIDENCE, RI, United States (UPI) — A drug given orally to treat HIV is also safe if used as vaginal gel and could prevent the sexual transmission of HIV, says a U.S. study.

Researchers at the Miriam Hospital and Brown Medical School found the microbicide vaginal gel tenofovir produced mild or no side effects in both HIV positive and HIV negative women. Tenofovir is the active ingredient in the anti-retroviral drug Viread.

The microbicides are designed to prevent the sexual transmission of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases and may be formulated as vaginal gels, foams, creams or suppositories.

‘The results of this study may change the way the research community looks at developing safe and effective microbicides,’ said lead author Dr. Kenneth H. Mayer, of Miriam Hospital in Providence. ‘Analyzing the compounds that already have been shown to be successful HIV treatment drugs, and evaluating them for their potential to prevent transmission of infection is an innovative approach that shows great promise.’

The findings are published in the Feb. 28 issue of the journal AIDS, currently available online.

We hold these truths to be self evident: That all words are created equal and are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights among which is the right to life — to simply exist free of harassment; liberty — the right to be seen and spoken freely and used whenever deemed desirable. And happiness — the special joy that comes when they happen to say best what is in one’s heart.
- The Bawdy Manifesto

Why do people swear? Most people start because it makes them feel cool and grown up to use ‘forbidden’ language. But in time, these words become a sort of short-code to express certain emotions - anger, frustration, (Read more…)
