The leader of catholics stated that the producers of condoms infect them with AIDS consciously. The archbishop of the Roman Catholic Church in Mozambique Francisco Chimoyo asserts that some antiviral preparations have also been infected, “in order to lead African people to the rapid loss”, SUN writes.

It propagandizes the official point of view of the Catholic Church, which speaks against any use of condoms. It preaches faithfulness in the marriage or sexual abstention.

The activists of fight with AIDS were agitated by this statement, they named this “nonsense”. For several years in the country there were no any doubts in safety of supplied condoms.

It should be noted that the problem of AIDS in Mozambique - one of the topical. About 16,2% of 19 million inhabitants in Mozambique are infected with HIV. About 500 people are infected each day. It is easy to calculate, that all will be infected in 87,2 years. If nothing it changes, the inhabitants of Mozambique will disappear from face of the Earth not later, than in the century. Although the lifetime of HIV-positive and depends on his country of stay (for example, in Russia - 11 years, and in the USA - 22,4), more than 30 years after infection he hardly will live.

The attempts to solve problem are doing: on the statement of United Nations, anti-retrovirus preparations (ARV) proved to be are very effective in the treatment of patients by AIDS. Tablets are not panacea, but they fight with the virus in several directions immediately.

Archbishop Chimoyo says that the abstention is the best method of fight with HIV/AIDS. “Condoms cannot be confident, since I know two countries in Europe, where they goal-directed are infected”, it asserts. It refused to name the countries. (ONLINE REPORTER, September 27, 2007)

He is convinced that Europe has the program, which pursues the purpose of the destruction of the people of Africa. It dreams about the colonization, until now. Archbishop asserts that if we do not appear caution, mozambikans will disappear during one century (that confirm my simplest calculations).

British scientist James Lovelock and physicist Chris Repley, director of the London Science Museum offered option of eliminating the problem of global warming. For the first time, their ideas were published in one of the issues of the journal Nature, writes National Geographic News.

It is supposed to to fill ocean by giant pipes that will raise the cold, nutrient-rich water from the depths. It will contribute to algal seaweed, captured carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The idea is akin to planting new trees. If we recall that 2/3 of Earth is covered with water, then it should be more effective. The preliminary calculation showed that required from 10000 to 100000 pipes with 10m of width and 330m of length.

Wave energy will cause the pipe to rock. Unidirectional hydraulic valve under the influence of circulating water will raise the nutrient-rich surface water. This will stimulate the growth of algae and reduce the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Besides flowering algae will produce more dimethyl sulfide ((CH₃) 2S), which helps to form clouds reflecting sunlight.

Theoretically, this idea should work, but only practice shows how well. Preliminary tests in laboratories (cylindrical tubes used in tanks with water) showed that in small-scale concept is correct.

Plans to translate the idea into practice in the Gulf of Mexico and in the Coral Sea. Cold surface water in these places can the same help revive coral in the Great Barrier Reef.

It may be that the proposed solution to the problem of global warming will help curb climate change only in one bay or the Gulf (global warming interactive). Moreover, the process of releasing nutrients will be uncontrollable, and its surplus podeystvuet adversely on the marine flora. On the surface will also rise and carbon dioxide! Then the problem only worsen. It is undeniable that the intervention of the ocean might cause him irreparable harm ( “Plan to Dump Iron in Ocean as Climate Fix Attracts Debate” [July 25, 2007]), but the suspension of global warming is questionable.

The team of scientists led by David Deutsch made the opening of Oxford in the field of mathematics. Parallel worlds really exist.

The theory istself of the worlds came back in 1950 in the U.S. (author - Hugh Everett) and explained the mysteries of quantum mechanics, scientists a point of controversy. In “multiworld” universe of Everett, each new event may cause division and the universe. The number of possible alternative outcomes equal to the number of worlds.

For example, the driver sees rushing out on road pedestrian. In reality, he had one, avoiding rear, kills himself in another falls into the hospital and remains alive, kills pedestrian in the third. The number of alternative scenarios indefinitely.

The theory has been recognized fantastic and forgotten. But suddenly in Oxford during the mathematical study found that Everett was on the right track.

According to quantum mechanics, to experiment about what inside the atom, we can not say that it really exists. Before particle measurements are unclear “superposition”, in which they may have simultaneously upper and lower spin, or appear in different places at the same time. Monitoring is conducted for “acts of” particular state of reality, and tossing coin comes only single state when it caught - “heads” or “tails”.

The main conclusion of the opening is: Bush-like branching structures encountered at splitting the universe to parallel versions of its own, explain the results in the probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics. That is, inevitably, we live in only one of the many parallel worlds, not in the singular.

Why do some people have prejudices? This question posed in the new study, appearing in the September issue of Psychological Science “(” Psychological Science “). Scientists have researched how many individuals are able to avoid racial prejudice, despite the global trend towards its own preference group.

Robert Livingston, United States, conducted a study, which tested the “white” college students, hide or just do not have racial prejudice. What is noteworthy, only 7% did not show any racial prejudice (at least through the explicit and implicit psychological tests), and without prejudice individuals, different from having them in the form of psychological action - they were less inclined to the formation of negative emotionally Associations in general terms.

The test in each task, which required repeated connections in a pair of unfamiliar Chinese characters with images that are positive or negative emotions (such as puppies or snakes).

The goal was to see whether the unfamiliar Chinese characters cause emotions through simple entry into the couple with pictures, which caused some specific emotions. The results showed that not prone to prejudice individuals were less likely than those who were racial prejudice, to feel negative towards the characters that were to mate with the unpleasant images. Hence it was concluded that people who have shown a lack of racial prejudice, may be more resistant to the formation of racial prejudice, which lead to racial strife in our society.

The result of study wouldl be someone prejudged against people of another race or not is related to cognitive his inclination to resist the negative emotional conditions.

It turns out that the reduction of prejudice requires more than just the adoption of levelling of all values. And the changes require negative associations, which have in humans.

The authors argue that negative attitudes towards people of another race can be reduced through positive vnutrilichnostny experience or through the coverage of positive images of black people in the media.

Found that sleep too long or too short increases the risk of causing an early death.

Author opening - Kapputsio Francisco. There were 10 308 Britons surveyed from 1985 to 1988 and from 1992 until 1993.

Adult need to sleep 7 hours. If the rest 8 hours or more, the probability of dying in the next 11-17 years increased at twice. Strangely enough, but the most likely cause of death will not serdechnososudistye disease. Depression, low social status and SS disease exacerbate the situation. If 5 hours sleep, then the risk of dying goes up 1.7 times, and the development of diseases SS - 2 times.

If you sleep less than 7 hours, it may:

* Increase the weight;
* Develop hypertension;
* Appear type 2 diabetes.

Not yet proven that sleep longer than 7 hours - leading to increased mortality, although the result of the study said the opposite. The reasons may be depression, low social status, etc.

It turns out that now refuted rule of Eight, known in the domestic medicine: you have to sleep 8 hours, 8 and 8 rest work for the preservation of health. But I’m having doubts about the theory that increasing the duration of sleep from 7 to 8 in subsequent years, provoking death. From what should be one event after another in time, we can not conclude that one - another reason. There are many factors, and only their cumulative effect, I would be considered as the main reason, how much people live. In addition, there is the assertion that the body itself knows that better for him. How can be those people who feels badly that 7 hours - little?

One thing is clear: according to the study adults better sleep 7 hours a day to prevent the increasing number of diseases and preserve health. No more, no less.
