HIV and men who have sex with men
If we look at HIV diagnoses by how people got the virus (transmission category), we see that gay and bisexual men are most at risk. In 2015, gay and bisexual men accounted for 67% of all new HIV diagnoses. In the same year, individuals infected through heterosexual sex made up 24% of all new HIV diagnoses.

An estimated 1.2 million people in the United States were living with HIV at the end of 2013, the most recent year for which this information is available. Of those people, about 13%, or 1 in 8, did not know they were infected.


Young People and HIV/AIDS
In 2010, African Americans represented 17% of teenagers and 16% of people aged 20â24 in the overall population, but accounted for 57% of new HIV infections among those aged 13â24. Young men who have sex with men (MSM), especially those of color, have the highest risk of HIV infection among young people. Among youth aged 13-24 diagnosed with HIV in 2014, 80% were gay and other MSM. Of those, 55% were black, 23% were Hispanic/Latino, and 16% were white. Adolescent females are also at risk.


Statistics
The five-year survival probability among people diagnosed with AIDS between 2006 and 2013 was 79% for African-Americans compared to 88% for whites, 90% for Latinos, and 92% for Asian/Pacific Islanders. In 2015, 60% of those living with HIV in San Francisco were over fifty years old. A decade ago, in 2005, only 38% of those living with HIV were over fifty. In California, an estimated 138,879 people were living with HIV and AIDS in 2014.

What Did Jesus Mean by âJudge Notâ?
Sometimes judge is used to mean judge between things, to differentiate, or discern. In this case we judge between right and wrong, good and evil, righteous and unrighteous. But this kind of judging -- the act of discernment -- is not what Jesus is forbidding.iven these findings, it's pretty important that both Christians and non-Christians understand what Jesus means when he says judge not.. The key is recognizing that the word judge can be used in two different ways in the New Testament.

What role does gluten play in bread making?
Gluten is a protein. Bread flour does not contain large amounts of protein (approx. between 10.5 â 13%) but it is very important for the bread making process. When flour is mixed with water, the gluten swells to form a continuous network of fine strands. This network forms the structure of bread dough and makes it elastic and extensible. In the diagram below the bread making steps are listed and the role which gluten plays in these steps are highlighted.


-
1 In a bowl, add the yeast and the warm water and whisk together until the yeast dissolves. 2  Allow this to stand for a couple of minutes. 3  Add the cold water and the flour and stir vigorously with a spoon until a smooth and somewhat elastic batter has formed. 4  The starter should be thick and stretchy.


Yeast Fermentation
Next time you punch down bread dough after its first rise, notice how smooth and strong the gluten has become, in part from the rise. At this stage, most bakers stretch and tuck the dough into a round to give it a smooth, tight top that will trap the gases produced by fermentation.


Yeast's Crucial Roles in Breadbaking
As soon as these ingredients are stirred together, enzymes in the yeast and the flour cause large starch molecules to break down into simple sugars. The yeast metabolizes these simple sugars and exudes a liquid that releases carbon dioxide and ethyl alcohol into existing air bubbles in the dough.


-
This Friday, N decided he wanted to make stretch bread. He had attempted a few before as well that didnât quite make it on the blog âcoz they were not very successful experiments. When he said he was going to spend the weekend making bread I decided I was not going to interfere.


-
1 At this point put the dough on a lightly floured surface (make sure you donât have too much flour) and knead for about 3-4 minutes. 2  Use a bench scraper to remove the dough from the surface if needed. 3  Then, oil the dough and put it in a large oiled bowl.


-
1 Cover with a lightly floured cloth and let the dough proof for 15-20 minutes. 2  While the loaf is proofing, prepare the oven for baking the bread. 3  Keep an oven rack on the bottom most shelf of the oven and another rack on the second (from the top) shelf of the oven.


-
1 In a large mixing bowl, combine the poolish, water and yeast mixture and mix well using your hands. 2  Next, add in the flour and salt and mix with your fingers to moisten the flour. 3  Using a spatula fold the dough from the sides to center in the bowl over and over again for about 3-4 minutes.


Yeast's Crucial Roles in Breadbaking
Yeast strengthens bread dough. When you stir together flour and water, two proteins in the flourâglutenin and gliadinâgrab water and each other to form a bubblegum-like, elastic mass of molecules that we call gluten.


Yeast Fermentation
Fermentation, whether it's acting on fruit juices to make wine or on flour to make bread, does exactly thatâit breaks down large molecules into smaller, flavorful ones. At the beginning of fermentation, enzymes in the yeast start breaking down starch into more flavorful sugars.

When our rivers, streams, lakes, groundwater, and oceans get polluted, it further cuts down the already limited amount we have available to share among us on this planet. This piece goes in depth on water pollution causes and solutions to hopefully inspire you to do your part to preserve this precious resource. What is Water Pollution? Water pollution occurs when contaminants infiltrate a body of water such as a lake, river, or ocean and hurt the quality of that water. A small amount of a contaminant may have little effect on a large body of clean water, but if there is a huge amount poured in or a small amount added each day over a long period of time, then it can become a major issue for many people.

Water pollution: an introduction
Water pollution can be defined in many ways. Usually, it means one or more substances have built up in water to such an extent that they cause problems for animals or people. Oceans, lakes, rivers, and other inland waters can naturally clean up a certain amount of pollution by dispersing it harmlessly.


Water is imperative to life. It makes up over two thirds of the earthâs surface and three fourths of the human body.
The water pollution that we most hear about is when oil tankers malfunction and spill massive amounts of oil into an ocean. When a lot of oil is dumped into one area of an ocean all at once, this can be extremely damaging to surrounding species of marine animals.


Ocean Pollution: 6 Things That Make It Worse
The London Convention of 1975 is one of the prominent ones, while other laws include the Clear Water Act (CWA) and the Ocean Dumping Act (ODA) which have been established by the United States to tackle the problem of pollution of the ocean.

But we wanted to know if the effectiveness of the battery degraded over the long run. So we hooked up a 2002 Toyota Prius with nearly 208,000 miles on the clock to our testing instruments and compared the results to the nearly identical 2001 Prius we tested 10 years ago.

When fully charged, you will pay about 3.9 per mile for the first 11 miles you drive ($.38 for the electricity and $.05 for the gasoline). After the first 11 miles, the vehicle will function like a regular hybrid and consume only gasoline, costing about 4.7 /mile. You will spend $.38 cents on electricity and $.70 on gasoline. This calculation assumes that your vehicle is fully charged when you begin your 25 mile trip and that you do not recharge during the trip. Miles on a tank and refueling cost for gasoline only assumes 90% of fuel in tank will be used before refueling.

Why is the Digestive System so Important?

Healthy Digestive Systems: The Second Brain. The digestive system is where vitamins, nutrients and minerals are absorbed.Factors such as stress, lack of sleep, antibiotics, illness, aging and poor diet choices can often lead to an imbalance of the bacteria in your digestive tract.


Why is the Digestive System so Important?
Maintaining a a healthy digestive system any time of year can be quite challenging, especially during the holiday season with typical eating patterns. Consuming an abundance of rich and indulgent foods compromises our digestive health by flooding our bodies with large amounts of fat and sugar.


Commencement of Laytime - Davies
Calcium taken in through food is discharged by urine and stool when it is not absorbed. Without water, carrying will not be possible and the food will hardly break down. In order to make the digestive system function regularly, it is of utmost importance that healthy food and sufficient water is consumed. Because, if there is not enough water, the digestive channel will have difficulties to carry the food and break them down. Therefore, the role of the water in the process of digestion is very important and indispensable. Any little problem in the digestive system will result in the breakdown of our health.

Caffeine and Breastfeeding
Whereas the half-life of caffeine in adults is around 2-6 hours, it is an average of 3-4 days in newborns and can be even slower in premature babies. In other words, a morning cup of coffee for mom will easily clear her blood by bedtime, but caffeine may linger in her breastfed newborn for much longer.


How Long Caffeine Stays in Your Body
Between 150 and 200 milligrams is considered safe in most studies, but many doctors recommend pregnant women avoid caffeine altogether. Thatâs because no matter how long caffeine stays in the body of the mother, it might stay even longer in the baby. The American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology found that when women drink 200 milligrams or more of caffeine, they double their risk of miscarriage. However, other studies dispute that.

Caffeine and Breastfeeding
Together, these studies tell us that for most babies, moderate caffeine consumption (i.e. about 300 mg per day) by mom is unlikely to hurt a breastfeeding baby. However, these conclusions are limited by the small size of most of these studies.


Breastfeeding and Caffeine
Most breastfeeding mothers can drink caffeine in moderation. Some babies, particularly those under 6 months, may be more sensitive to momâs caffeine intake. Babies whose mothers avoided caffeine completely during pregnancy seem to react more to caffeine in momâs diet.


How long do the effects of caffeine last?
Alison has 30+ answers in. Health. According to Wikipedia, a moderate dose wears off in about five hours. However, like Ted said, how long caffeine takes to wear off varies greatly from person to person, and also depends on how high the person's tolerance (literally ability to tolerate a drug's effects) is.


Breastfeeding and Caffeine
Is baby sensitive to my caffeine intake? According to the Breastfeeding Answer Book (LLLI 2003, p. 599-600), excessive caffeine consumption by the mother (more than 750 mg per day) can result in a baby who shows signs of caffeine stimulation. âA baby who is being overstimulated by caffeine is a wide-eyed, active, alert baby who doesnât sleep for long.


Caffeine and Breastfeeding
However, there is a lot of baby-to-baby variation in caffeine metabolism. For example, in a study measuring the half-life of caffeine in 5 babies between 6 and 8 weeks of age, results ranged from 8 to 41 hours. Momâs cup of coffee is probably more likely to have an effect on the 41-hour baby than the 8-hour baby.


How Long Caffeine Stays in Your Body
In most cases, caffeine has a half-life of about 5 hours (meaning 5 hours is needed to eliminate half the coffee amount). However, it might take longer â for instance, a pregnant woman might have caffeine in her system up to 20 hours after she ingests it. Some diseases and medications can make it last longer, as can smoking. The problem becomes when you drink too many beverages containing caffeine.

Meteoroids vs Asteroids
Terminal speed of a large meteoroid in the lower atmosphere is about 100 to 250 metres per second -- less than the speed of sound. Once a meteoroid has slowed to about three times the speed of sound, it stops glowing and losing mass. The very largest meteoroids reach the ground without slowing to terminal speed.

A comet is a relatively small solar system body that orbits the Sun. When close enough to the Sun they display a visible coma (a fuzzy outline or atmosphere due to solar radiation) and sometimes a tail.


Difference Between Asteroid and Meteor
Difference Between Asteroid and Meteor. An asteroid is a relatively small, inactive, rocky body orbiting the Sun while a meteor is the light phenomena that takes place when a particle from a comet or asteroid (meteoroid) enters the Earthâs atmosphere and vaporizes.


Meteoroids vs Asteroids
A meteor is a streak of light in the sky made by a fast-moving piece of rock from Space, called a meteoroid, heating up and vaporizing as it hits the atmosphere. If any of the rock reaches the ground without vaporizing, what remains is called a meteorite. From the collection of Simon Camm, Cornwall County, England.

1 A meteoroid is a small rock or particle of debris in our solar system. They range in size from dust to around 10 metres in diameter (larger objects are usually referred to as asteroids).  A meteoroid that burns up as it passes through the Earthâs atmosphere is known as a meteor. If youâve ever looked up at the sky at night and seen a streak of light or âshooting starâ what you are actually seeing is a meteor.


Meteoroids vs Asteroids
Meteors become visible between 100 and 120 kilometres altitude. The high-speed collision of a meteoroid with air molecules instantly heats both the surface of the meteoroid and the air to incandescence. The visible streak is 95% heated air and only 5% vaporized rock.


Difference Between Asteroid and Meteor
Asteroid vs Meteor. An asteroid is a relatively small, inactive, rocky body orbiting the Sun while a meteor is the light phenomena that takes place when a particle from a comet or asteroid (meteoroid) enters the Earthâs atmosphere and vaporizes. It is often also known as a shooting star.


Meteoroids vs Asteroids
So a meteoroid which ends up as a 1 kilogram meteorite on the ground must start out with a mass of close to 100 kilograms. The meteor can look as bright as the Sun and last half a minute or more, depending on the initial size, speed, angle of entry, and composition of the meteoroid.

1 Asteroids are small solar system bodies that orbit the Sun. Made of rock and metal, they can also contain organic compounds. Asteroids are similar to comets but do not have a visible coma (fuzzy outline and tail) like comets do.  A meteoroid is a small rock or particle of debris in our solar system.

Bartholin's gland
The Bartholin's glands (also called Bartholin glands or greater vestibular glands) are two pea sized compound racemose glands located slightly posterior and to the left and right of the opening of the vagina.


Cysts
If the Bartholin gland or duct gets infected, it's called a Bartholin gland abscess. Bartholin gland cysts are often small and painless. Some go away without treatment. But if you have symptoms, you might want treatment. If the cyst is infected, you will need treatment.


-
You may not have any symptoms if the Bartholin gland cyst is small. But a large cyst or an infected cyst (abscess) can cause symptoms. Symptoms of a cyst that is not infected include: 1  A painless lump in the vulva area. 2  Redness or swelling in the vulva area.


Bartholinâs Gland Cyst
The Bartholin's gland is a tiny organ on each of the labia (vaginal lips), near the opening of the vagina. If the vagina were the face of a clock, these glands would be found at about 4 and 8 o'clock. Normally they are invisible.


-
If a Bartholin duct gets blocked, fluid builds up in the gland. The blocked gland is called a Bartholin gland cyst. (Sometimes it's called a Bartholin duct cyst.) These cysts can range in size from a pea to a large marble. They usually grow slowly.


Bartholin Gland Cyst
On each side of the opening to the vagina, there is a Bartholin gland. These glands produce fluid to lubricate the opening to the vagina. If a Bartholin gland duct becomes blocked, fluid builds up inside the gland, causing a cyst.

Spina bifida
Spina bifida is the most common kind of neural tube defect (also called NTD). NTDs are birth defects of the brain and spinal cord. Birth defects are health conditions that are present at birth. Birth defects change the shape or function of one or more parts of the body. Surgery can remove the meningocele. 2  Myelomeningocele (also called open spina bifida). 3  This is the most severe and the most common form of spina bifida. 4  In this condition, part of the spinal cord pushes out with the meninges through the gap in the spine to form a sac on the babyâs back.

The lambda phage, also called Enterobacteria phage Î» and colphage Î», is a type of temperate bacteriophage or bacterial virus that infects the Escherichia coli (E. coli) species of bacteria. The virus may be housed in the genome of its host via lysogeny.


Phage typing
Phage typing is a method used for detecting single strains of bacteria. It is used to trace the source of outbreaks of infections. The viruses that infect bacteria are called bacteriophages (phages for short) and some of these can only infect a single strain of bacteria. These phages are used to identify different strains of bacteria within a single species. A culture of the strain is grown in the agar and dried. A grid is drawn on the base of the petri dish to mark out different regions. Inoculation of each square of the grid is done by a different phage.
