Scientists find aggressive new strain of HIV

A new and more aggressive strain of HIV discovered in West Africa causes significantly faster progression to AIDS, researchers at Sweden's Lund University have found. The strain, called A3/02, was discovered in 2011 and is part of ongoing HIV/AIDS research. So far, it has only been identified in the West African country of Guinea-Bissau and forms when two of the most common strains in the region fuse together. The good news is that as far as we know the medicines that are available today are equally functional on all different subtypes of variants. Angelica Palm, Lund University "Individuals who are infected with the new recombinant form develop AIDS within five years," Angelica Palm, one of the scientists involved in the study, said on Thursday. "That's about two to two-and-a-half years faster than one of the parent [strains]. Research shows that recombinant strains, those created when different DNA combines, are a cause for concern. "There have been some studies that indicate that whenever there is a so-called recombinant, it seems to be more competent or aggressive than the parental strains," Palm said. There are two main types of the HIV virus: HIV-1 and HIV-2 with HIV-1 being the most common. But within those two categories, there are numerous subtypes. The HIV virus can even mutate inside an infected person, according to the World Health Organisation. But the scientists reassured patients that existing drugs will still effectively treat the new strain regardless of the speed at which it develops into AIDS. "The good news is that as far as we know the medicines that are available today are equally functional on all different subtypes of variants," Palm said. Other strains A person goes from having HIV to AIDS when his or her white CD4 cell count, a white bloodcell that helps fight infection, drops below 200, according to the Mayo Clinic. An estimated 35.5 million people around the world live with HIV, a virus that destroys the immune system and often leads to complications like pneumonia, tuberculosis,diarrhoea and tumours, according to the WHO. But while the study only found the new strain in West Africa, scientists warn that other rapidly developing strains probably exist in regions like Europe and the US, where there are high levels of immigration. "It is highly likely that there are a large number of circulating recombinants of which we know little or nothing," Patrik Medstrand, professor of clinical virology at Lund University, said....

Dear Frosti- We have to do better as people, or in all reality. This will be the death of us all. It so easy to not rather than to. It only takes one time. One careless encounter and you can become the unlucky victim to become infected. Is a feeling really worth a lifetime of never knowing?

Monster High + Ever After High My Views So Far???

With the epic success of Monster High, I think it's safe to say that Barbie is clearly a imagination in the past. The ballsy attempt to create the offspring of the monsters, I myself as a younger version. As well as others grew up on turning them into something that has started a serious craze of must have paraphernalia back in 2010. While still growing strong the Monster High franchise to me hasn't seem to have slowed the process in creating fresh material, I was on it since day one, and even though I only own two dolls. Which is sad to say the least, I love them. My favorite character thus far is Cleo. Of course I'm not this vain, but she is beautiful. The main characters of Monster High include Frankie Stein daughter of Frankenstein, Clawdeen Wolf daughter of a werewolf, Draculaura daughter of Count Dracula, Cleo de Nile the 5,842 year old daughter of The Mummy, Lagoona Blue daughter of the Creature from the Black Lagoon, and Ghoulia Yelps daughter of zombie I currently own Cleo and Clawdeen. While when, I first seem these dolls back in 2000, I had no idea they would have been as big as they are now, but in all honesty. It just shows you how much times have change from Barbies, and Raggedy Ann. Go Figure???

Now the Ever After High concept to me is interesting because it's a spin off of Monster High, but the only differences is. Other than the fact that they aren't monsters, but they are the offspring of our classic fairy tale parents, I however just started getting into Ever After High earlier this week, I actually seen the dolls before I knew anything about them and the only reason I became somewhat interested. Was because I saw Madeline Hatter and eventually it a must I obtain her before the the original can no longer be found. Giving this concept a 8 out of 10 simply because, I see potential in the effort, I don't love the dolls per say. They don't grab me in looking like the characters in the series as the dolls of Monster High, but from my understanding on what, I read they wanted the dolls not to look so much like how they do is the series. Whatever?????? The main characters in the series include Raven Queen Daughter of the Evil Queen. From Snow White, I was a little confused by this before I knew which queen they were speaking of. Anyway back to the line up... Apple White The daughter of Snow White, Madeline Hatter the daughter of the Mad Hatter, Briar Beauty the daughter of Sleeping Beauty. Now it's other characters in the series of course that me personally, I felt should have been part of the main line up. Like Ashlynn Ella daughter of Cinderella, Cerise Hood daughter of Red Riding Hood. She by far is my favorite. Even more so then Madeline. Now if, I had a choice. Which, I do. Ashlynn, and Cerise Hood would be my choice. Everybody else are just in the story. O can't forget about Blondie Lockes. Daughter of Goldie Lockes. She's okay too, I feel that all of them bring a unique life to the series of not only the cartoon, but the dolls as well. We'll see just how all this plays out, but I will have some of these dolls on my self as well. Both lines are amazing and the fashion is undeniable one of the best sense, I have ever seen on dolls that are mostly marketed for young girls. No dolls, I have ever grew up on had fashion like any of these dolls, and the shoe game stands alone, I would love to own all of them. With that said this ends my views so far on Monster High & Ever After High. Stay tuned for actual video blogs coming sometime next year. As well as my own reviews on my dolls and other things of that nature. Until next time with Dear Frosti Dior Ashlynn.

Raised Be Not So W.T.F

Raised Be Not So W.T.F Damn I’m sitting here drifting into whatever dream or nightmare land this sleep has planned for me. Anyway before, I do that. Earlier today it was brought to my attention about the straight men that have feminine ways. Just like us women and what did, I think about it. Do, I believe that all of them are quote on quote completely straight. Since they really only feminine like that because they were raised by certain woman in their family. (No Male Role Model) My answer to all of that. Who comes up with this bull? Just because you were raised by a certain gender. Doesn’t make you anymore masculine or feminine then what you would turn out anyway. Now what’s interesting to me about this theory? Is that, I never hear men say this about other men; I mostly hear naïve to the fact women saying it. In reference when somebody implies that someone they feel in their spirit is heterosexual, but really is a homosexuality. Could be a kin folk friend boyfriend, or husband. Me personally, I live on planet earth. Now my mind is rarely here, but when, I don’t come back down, I make it count. I’m not one of those people that think a turtle and a tortoise is the same thing. It’s not, but the two are related in the same family. Get it, I can be fair and say that a very small % of men that have feminine characteristics aren’t gay, or bi. They just have those ways just because, but the majority that’s left is gay and protected by this feature code. Sense he was raised by women. This is where the femininity comes from, I really don’t know who came up with this theory, but truth be told. A lot of men, I dealt with from the streets came from broken homes. Where all they had was ether the mother, or the grandmother and not one of them was feminine. You can’t make a man feminine no more than you can make a completely straight man gay. Its ether one, or the other and in cases like this. It totally depends on the individual themselves. Sometimes you have to sit back, and think and most people don’t. I’m a girly girl. It comes natural; I bring this up because I’ve played around with masculine roles, and in the end. Even though it looks somewhat effortless, I couldn’t completely mask it. Just like the feminine men. The same goes for women that naturally have masculine ways. I’m just not one of those women. Dear Frosti Dior Ashlynn

The Lonely Hummingbird

The Lonely Hummingbird Somewhere beyond a wooded forest near an ever so beautiful sparking off the sun above air. Fell a waterfall "Between" a flower garden of many colors. Held together by the natures within. Mysteriously given certain flowers the sweetest of oils. These scents traveled for miles attracting whom ever attempted to locate where the smell comes to lay, but never ever could. The flowers only revealed themselves to the magical little humming bird. Who happened to live behind the waterfall? He was exquisite marking the colors of a beautiful warm night. As the clouds slowly sails across the moon. Even though the flowers could not speak aloud. They could telepathically communicate to the humming bird. They were his only friends. Even though the hummingbird loved his flower friends dearly. He long for a special friend like himself. Hummingbirds like him were all over this forest, but no one wanted anything to do with him. Figures he thought to himself. What’s wrong with me he said? Is it because my color is so dull to them? The many colors of blues, emerald greens, sparkling pinks, oranges, and yellows… The many colors of a rainbow emerges every morning, I do not add to the colors of the forest, I do not have to fly all the time. Nor do, I have to perch for days upon days. No other birds seem to come out at the sight of night. Fear must be the matter, but I just never been. The night blankets me completely out of sight; I owe it to her to grace her with my presence… It’s only right for me to grace her with the presence, I feel she gave me the image to appear before those who witness that id’s me, I been there, I looked for the love that wasn’t truly there in this uncomfortable place, I called my home. Life for me has scarred my heart from being a faithful song bird, I just can’t believe in the unbelievable. Even though my coal eyes open every morning I’m lost to what does that say to me. If my heart steady melts burning inside like wax close to a candle tip. What is beauty to an emptied soul in a dark place? Trying to figure a light that never really was what it said to be. How can my heart ever be the same… ever be the same… ever be the same… ever be the same… ever be the same…
