Human immunodeficiency virus, and its later, more severe stage, acquired immune deficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) is a virus that affects people all over the world. HIV/AIDS is especially prominent in Africa, where many people are not educated on how to prevent spreading the illness, and even more do not have access to treatment. Here are 10 facts about HIV/AIDS in Africa:

1. 1,000 children are infected with HIV every day.

2. 23 percent of children infected with HIV/AIDS are being treated.

3. 17 million Africans have died of AIDS since the virus was discovered.

4. There are 25 million Africans living with with the HIV virus.

5. 13 million African children are orphans because of HIV/AIDS.

6. 67 percent of people infected with HIV live in sub-Saharan Africa

7. 90 percent of children with HIV (about 2 million) live in sub-Saharan Africa.

8. Only 11 percent of pregnant HIV-positive women in sub-Saharan Africa receive treatment to prevent spreading the virus to their child.

9. HIV/AIDS is the cause of about 1 million deaths in Africa every year.

10. HIV/AIDS has caused the life-expectancy in sub-Saharan Africa to drop to 54.4 years and, in some countries, less than 49 years.

Although these statistics seem disheartening, there has been vast progress in treating and preventing the virus in Africa. More and more people are gaining access to contraceptives and antiviral drugs due to international aid. The end of HIV/AIDS may be a difficult goal to achieve, but every year the number of people dying from the HIV/AIDS decreases, leading the world one step closer to completely eradicating the virus.

DAKAR (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Two former students from Burkina Faso have designed a mosquito-repellent soap, which they hope could be a simple and affordable solution in the fight to end malaria, but more funds are needed to test the idea, according to the startup behind it.

Moctar Dembélé and Gérard Niyondiko, the brains behind Faso Soap, were awarded a $25,000 prize for their invention in 2013 when they became the first African winners of the Global Social Venture Competition at the University of California Berkeley.

Yet Faso Soap must be tested to ensure it is safe for human use and effective at preventing malaria before it can be mass produced by soap manufacturers in Africa, said Franck Langevin, campaigns director for the Ouagadougou-based startup.

The soap, created from natural oils and plants, could prove successful in preventing malaria as it would be cheap and rely on existing habits of African households, Langevin said.

"People in Africa are very reluctant to change their habits, but soap is present in most homes, and is used for bathing, cleaning the house and washing clothes," he said.

The soap is designed to repel mosquitoes up to six hours after being applied, and once soapy water is thrown away on the street, hinder the insects from breeding in stagnant water.

"It is a simple and affordable weapon in the fight against malaria," Langevin told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.

Last month, Faso Soap launched a crowd funding appeal for $113,000 to finalize the development of the soap with the aim of distributing it in six African countries hardest-hit by malaria by 2018, working with soap manufacturers and aid agencies.

Last year, there were 214 million cases of malaria worldwide with the mosquito-borne disease killing 438,000 people, most of them in sub-Saharan Africa.

Jo Lines, reader of malaria control and vector biology at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, praised the idea behind the soap, but said it would be dangerous to rely on an untested product to protect against malaria.

As a social startup, Langevin said Faso Soap has struggled to attract funding from donors, including the World Health Organisation (WHO) and United Nations children's agency (UNICEF), prompting the inventors to turn to crowd funding.

World leaders committed to ending malaria by 2030 when they adopted the Sustainable Development Goals last year.

Europe last month became the first region to be declared malaria-free after reporting no indigenous cases in 2015, and a former WHO official said the world can eliminate the disease soon, but only with more investment to end and keep it at bay.

The circuit breaker panel is the main electrical circuit distributor inside a building, whether home, office or power plant. The electrical circuit breaker panel is typically able to provide a residential household with up to 200 amps of power.

Circuit breaker panels are needed in order for electricity to flow into a home or office. The electric utility company provides the electricity to an electric meter. Then from there the electricity is flowed into electrical disconnect, and finally, into a circuit breaker.

Many circuit breakers have two rows of switches, with each switch corresponds with a different portion of a home. The main circuit breaker is larger than all other switches inside the circuit breaker panel. This switch in turn will cut power to an entire household when switched off.

Circuit breakers are the weak link in your electrical system. When a circuit draws more current than what it can handle, the wiring gets hot and it can cause a fire. The excessive current in a circuit, therefore, can be prevented by the use of "over current" safety devices like the circuit breakers.

Your home must have electrical a circuit breaker panel that can provide 100 amps of power. If your home is older, the breaker panel may only have a 60 amps capacity, and it cannot produce power to modern electrical devices.

Hence, if your home has several electronic devices, your breaker panels must have at least 200-amp, lest, the demand for electricity from several devices cannot be met by your breaker panel. In order for you to know the amount of power that your home requires, you can calculate that by looking at each electrical device in your home.

Each device has a number rating. Add up all the number ratings from each device to determine the size of circuit breaker panel that you need. Examples of devices that you need to add the number ratings are microwaves, coffee pots, can openers, crock pots, waffle irons.

You may also include toasters, pizza ovens, flat iron, refrigerator, television, hot tubs, air compressors, dish washers, air conditioner and vacuum cleaners. If you are still unsure, you can request for an electrician or technician to do it for you.

Inside the breaker panel is a neutral buss and a grounding bar. The enclosure is sealed off and is protected by a panel cover. It is also mounted with screws. The panel access door allows you to access the breakers without removing the cover.

Inside the door of the circuit breaker panel is an index, where you will write down whatever the circuits are feeding. This is for easy reference. The entire breaker panel is gray in color and is made of metal. It can either be installed within a wall or can be surface-mounted.

A circuit breaker panel is used to provide appliances with electricity. The electricity can be stopped by flipping a breaker switch to off position. To do this, you simply push the breaker into the off position. To turn it back on, you push the breaker to the other position.

We've all had ideas - some good, some not so good.

I can't begin to imagine how hair-pullingly frustrating it must be to hatch a brilliant new idea, believe passionately that it's right, then find everyone else ignoring you, or telling you that you're wrong, or even mocking you.

Worse still, imagine reaching the end of your life and finding your brilliant idea is at best gathering dust, or at worst generating hostility.

Here are seven scientists whose ideas became widely accepted only after they were dead.

The Ideas Rejected

Alfred Wegener

Alfred Wegener proposed that Earth's continents move very slowly. Over millions of years they can move a long way. Between 1912 and 1929 he published a stream of fossil and rock evidence to support his theory. He died on an expedition to Greenland in 1930.

Wegener's theory of continental drift was rejected by most other scientists during his lifetime. It was only in the 1960s that continental drift finally became part of mainstream science.

Ignaz Semmelweis

The story of Ignaz Semmelweis is tragic on a number of levels.

Firstly, there are the women who died who shouldn't have.

In 1847 Semmelweis, who was an obstetrician, (a doctor specializing in childbirth) published evidence that when doctors washed their hands before examining or treating patients, the mortality rate for women in his birthing ward in Vienna, Austria, was greatly reduced.

In his hospital doctors were routinely examining diseased corpses in the mortuary, then attending women in childbirth without first washing their hands. In some months, as many as a third of the women in the birthing part of the hospital were dying!

Semmelweis could not explain why hand-washing was effective - he didn't know about germs - he just saw that it worked and that patients no longer caught fevers and other diseases.

The second tragedy is that although Semmelweis cut death rates in his own hospital, his attempts to spread the word failed. Many people died because hand-washing was not made a routine part of hospital practice.

The third tragic part of the story took place in 1865. Semmelweis had become clinically depressed when his work was rejected and he had started behaving oddly. He was lured by another doctor into an insane asylum in Vienna. Realizing it was a trap, Semmelweis tried to get out, but was held and badly beaten by guards and placed in a straightjacket. He died two weeks later, most likely from injuries he suffered during the beating.

With Semmelweis gone, the fourth tragedy is that his hospital got back to running 'properly' again, discarding his 'crazy' ideas. Mortality rates increased by a factor of six, but nobody cared.

Aristarchus

Heliocentric Solar System
Lived c. 310 BC to c. 230 BC
Aristarchus was born in about 310 BC in Ancient Greece. He was the first person to propose that the earth and the other planets orbit the sun. He also said that the stars are much farther away than the planets.

Aristarchus lived at the same time as Archimedes. We do not know if Archimedes agreed with Aristarchus's heliocentric idea, but we know about Aristarchus's ideas because Archimedes mentions them in one of his own works.

Most people ignored Aristarchus and continued to believe that the earth lies the center of the universe and that everything orbits our planet.

Some people demanded that Aristarchus be put on trial for daring to say Earth is not at the center of the universe.

Soon Aristarchus's work was forgotten. It would stay forgotten for almost two millennia.

Gregor Mendel

Gregor Mendel was a monk who founded the science of genetics. He was the first person to correctly identify the rules of heredity which determine how traits are passed through generations of living things.

The importance of Mendel's work was only properly appreciated in 1900, 16 years after his death, and 34 years after he first published it.

A year after he published his work, Mendel became Abbot of his monastery and spent his remaining years managing the monastery and its monks.

Nicholas Copernicus

Heliocentric Solar System

1800 years after the time of Aristarchus, Nicholas Copernicus began the scientific revolution when he resurrected the idea that the earth and other planets orbit the sun. He published his work shortly before he died.

Most astronomers who read Copernicus's book thought it was excellent work, but they did not believe it - mostly they still thought the earth was center of the universe.

Johannes Kepler

Heliocentric Solar System - Elliptical Orbits

Johannes Kepler is the third scientist on this page who believed that the solar system is heliocentric, but could not convince many other people that he was right. The idea of a sun-centered solar system met with a lot of resistance - based partly on religious beliefs - and based partly on common sense - everyone can see that the sun goes around the earth, rising in the east and setting in the west.

Kepler was one of the few people - Galileo Galilei was another - who wholeheartedly backed Copernicus's theory.

Kepler went further than Copernicus, who thought planets travel in circular paths around the sun. Kepler discovered that the planets' paths are 'squashed' circles - ellipses.

Despite the brilliance of Kepler's work, it was largely ignored in his lifetime. Decades later, Kepler's work was the platform from which Isaac Newton discovered his law of universal gravitation.

Amedeo Avogadro

Amedeo Avogadro was a nobleman who became a lawyer, then a school teacher, and then a university professor.

He proposed that equal volumes of different gases contain an equal number of molecules, provided they are at the same temperature and pressure.

Although his hypothesis was rejected by other scientists during his lifetime, by 1870 it was generally recognized to be correct. Avogadro's hypothesis in now known as Avogadro's law.

Rejection with Reason

Of course, many big new scientific ideas are rejected - and rightly so, because most are flawed. Otherwise, today we might accept ideas such as the existence of: Planet Vulcan, N-Rays, Caloric, Pangenesis, an inhabited Sun, and the number of the universe.

How Mob Mentality Affects a Personal Moral Code

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Mina Cikara, a sociologist at Carnegie Mellon University, recently attended a New York Yankee game with her husband. They are Red Sox fans and wore a hat to prove it. They were, of course, jeered, and they left the ball field stunned and wondering: Why did they torment us?

In a new research paper led by Cikara, a team of researchers have discovered a new insight into mob mentality - the propensity for groups of people to shed the inhibitions of societal and moral standards. Isolated individuals seldom heckle or riot. But throngs of sports fans torch cars, protesters storm government offices, and gangs go to war over intangible slights. Cikara and her colleagues may have discovered a culprit we can't control: our brains.

"Although humans exhibit strong preferences for equity and moral prohibitions against harm in many contexts, people's priorities change when there is an 'us' and a 'them,'" co-author Rebecca Saxe, an associate professor of cognitive neuroscience at MIT, told The groups's paper appeared recently in the journal Neuroimage. "A group of people will often engage in actions that are contrary to the private moral standards of each individual in that group, sweeping otherwise decent individuals into 'mobs' that commit looting, vandalism, even physical brutality."

Some of the apparent causes of mob mentality are well understood. Anonymity is one: Yankee fans can disappear into a blur of blue pinstripes. "I have never been called names like that in my entire life," says Cikara of her New York visit. (She has completed post-doctoral research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, in Cambridge.) When people feel they will not be recognized or called to answer for their actions, they are more likely to behave wantonly. Another factor is responsibility. Guilt, shared collectively and spread thin, is an easier thing to stomach.

Yet, there may be something else going on: something less subjective and more quantifiable. Cikara and her colleagues wanted to find out whether an individual's sense of self - and therefore the individual's moral compass - is diminished during times of collective endeavor. But how do you measure sense of self? A functional magnetic resonance imaging brain scan, of course.

Hooking test subjects up to these machines, the scientists could monitor activity in different parts of the brain. A brain section called the medial prefrontal cortex lights up when people think about themselves and is more dormant when people act in groups, like playing on a team or rallying for a cause. During the testing, study participants were asked a series of questions about moral judgment as individuals and while competing in groups.

For some people in groups, the medial prefrontal cortex was more inactive than others. Those same people were also the least kind. After the series of questions, subjects were asked to choose pictures of teammates and of members of the opposing team to appear with the published study. The people with less self-reflection chose the most flattering pictures of themselves and their teammates and the ugliest pictures of their opponents. For shame.

"It's been hard to get a direct handle on the extent to which people within a group are tapping into their own understanding of things versus the group's understanding," David Rand, a Yale University psychologist who didn't participate in the study, told MIT News. "This is a nice way of using neuroimaging to try to get insight into something that behaviorally has been really hard to explore."

Incidentally, the people with low self-reflection had trouble remembering the questions that appeared during the study. Cikara says that's because the questions were about their own morality - something they weren't paying much attention to at the time. Which is convenient: You can't feel guilty about something if you can't remember it.

It is well known that mosquitoes carry diseases. Even in developed nations like the U.S., there are yearly warnings of West Nile Virus and Eastern Equine Encephalitis, but no disease carried by mosquitoes is as widespread as malaria. The following 10 facts about malaria shed some light on the global malaria epidemic, what is being done about it and what the future holds.

Top 10 Facts About Malaria

1. The word "malaria" means "bad air." In the 18 th century people thought that malaria was caused from breathing in bad air in marshy areas. In 1880 scientists discovered that this was not true, but the name stuck.

2. Malaria is spread by parasites. Five different parasites can cause malaria in humans, but the Plasmodium falciparum parasite is the most deadly. The parasites enter the human bloodstream through the bite of an infected mosquito.

3. Malaria is most commonly found in Africa and parts of Southeast Asia. Mosquitoes thrive in tropical and subtropical climates, so countries that are near the equator are more at risk. Additionally, many African and Southeast Asian countries have high poverty rates and people do not have access to malaria prevention and treatment, or are not educated on the disease.

4. Malaria can pass from human to human. You cannot "catch" malaria like you can a cold, but people can pass it on by sharing needles, blood transfusions and through pregnancy.

5. When infected with malaria, symptoms can range from none to severe. It can take anywhere from 9-40 days for symptoms to appear. Early symptoms can include fever, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, chills, headache, muscle aches, cough and sweating. If not treated within 24 hours the disease can worsen, leading to seizures, impairment of brain and spinal cord function, loss of consciousness and death.

6. Malaria infects an average of 200 million people each year. Up to 1 million of these 200 million will die every year. Of malaria deaths, 90 percent occur in Africa. In Africa one child dies from malaria every minute.

7. There is a cure for malaria. There are different drug treatments available depending on the strain of malaria an individual is infected with. The drugs cure malaria by killing all of the parasites within a person's bloodstream. However, new waves of drug-resistant malaria are threatening the lives of millions.

8. The best cure for malaria is prevention. There are two major ways that malaria is prevented. Insecticide-treated mosquito netting placed around beds is a good way to keep people safe while they sleep, and spraying a household with residual insecticide will effectively eliminate mosquitos in the house for three to six months.

9. Mortality rates are falling. Since 2000, malaria mortality rates have fallen by 42 percent globally. This is largely due to increased prevention and faster testing and treatment to those who are thought to have malaria. By 2015, 52 countries are expected to have reduced their number of malaria cases by 75 percent. In the past four years the countries of Morocco, United Arab Emirates, Turkmenistan and Armenia have been certified by the World Health Organization as having eliminated malaria.

10. There is a promising vaccine currently being tested. While there is currently no vaccine on the market to prevent against malaria, there is one being tested via clinical trial in seven African countries with positive results. Scientists feel very encouraged by this new treatment and the vaccine could be ready for full-time use as early as 2015.

These 10 facts on malaria depict the fact that although malaria is a curable and preventable illness, millions of people still contract it every year. Those who contract it mainly reside in poor countries where access to quality health care and education is more difficult to come by. If these people receive the proper education on malaria, as well as access to medications, then there would be no reason for anyone to be dying from this disease.

It is well known that mosquitoes carry diseases. Even in developed nations like the U.S., there are yearly warnings of West Nile Virus and Eastern Equine Encephalitis, but no disease carried by mosquitoes is as widespread as malaria.
