Our immune system can ward off almost all the diseases that catch human beings. But what about HIV? Why can’t we keep off it too? Are the yogis immune to HIV?
All of these questions bring us to one answer – “We were immune to HIV.” There is an enzyme called APOBEC – 3G that can fight HIV by stopping the virus from replication. But why are millions dying?
Because HI Virus has improved itself. It has evolved so as to have a code which produces the protein Vif called “virulence factor”. This Vif attaches with APOBEC -3G so that the focus of our enzyme is lost and at the very same moment, HIV gets inside. The watch dog is done with, there is nothing to fear.
But research has begun to find whether or not we can benefit from this body mechanism.

Wikibooks – books of the future
It’s just a fascinating idea. A book. An ebook. That can be edited by anyone, anywhere, anytime. And a collection of these, available at a website. Only wikimedia can do that.
The concept which I believe has been conveyed by now is one of the best merits that internet has brought to human beings. No writer may be complete by himself. But the latest form of literature removes that problem – of the incompleteness.So, to read complete books, go to wikibooks

Why we do what we do
There was nothing…
Then, there was a point…
It was infinitely heavy.It started expanding…
Matter started to get its physical laws.Dust particles condensed.
Condensed dust particles joined.
Joined condensed dust particles grouped.
Galaxies were formed.Galaxies meant lot of stars.
Lot of stars meant lot more celestial bodies other than the glowing bodies.
It meant lot of planets.
Lot of planets meant different planets.
Different planets meant different conditions.
Different conditions meant different environments.And there was one galaxy called Milky Way.
There was one star called Sun.
There was one planet called Earth.
It had a different environment.There was a spontaneous creation of Organic molecules.
There was changes in the environment.
There was an urge in the Organic molecules to live – (THE SECRET OF LIFE)
There was adaptation.
There was evolution…Because it was at a distance not too far and not too near to sun – the temperature was optimum for liquid water;
Because its size was not too large, and therefore gravity was not so large to make water solid;
Because its size was not too small, its atmosphere was not too thin, so water could not be dried;Life could exist…
Evolution continued…
Organisms became complex.
Porifera
Coelenterata
Platyhelminthes
Nemotoda
Arachnida
Arthropoda
Mollusca
Echinodermata
Protochordata
VertebrataAnd in the last type of organisms, there was man.
He was a fool.
He learned hunting.
He learned cooking.
He learned making tools.
He learned agriculture.
He found out wheels.
He found out steam.
He found out uranium…
He explored…
He implored…He made divisions.
He made countries.
He made laws.
He broke them.
He waged wars.
He killed.
He gave birth (or She?)
He lived…He found out why for 12 hours he could see everything, but for another 12 hours he couldn’t without electricity.
He found out why paper burnt…He found out how to talk.
He found out how to talk with people metres away.
He found out how to talk with people kilometres away.
He found out how to talk with people countries away.
He found out how to talk with people planets away…He found out why he was like his father and mother.
He found out that he wanted to find out everything.
He found out that he wanted to survive.
But he couldn’t find why.
He couldn’t find why he thought what he thought.
He couldn’t find why he did what he did.He can never find it.
Because it is the SECRET OF LIFE.
It is a secret of the nature.
And nature stores secret with an encryption no hacker can hack.Related posts:

Two way mirrors in changing rooms
There are some mirrors which allow to see through on one side while seeming like a mirror on the other side (Seen it in any James Bond film?). These may be very useful when you build your house. But when these kinds of glasses are kept in improper places, you may be being cheated. There might be someone behind you watching you. So how do you know whether you are watching into a genuine mirror or a mirror-cum-glass one?
I would be cheating if I put the solution here, because I got this from another blog. So I will post the link : Bioinformatiz -
GeoEye-1 will take google’s maps to new depths
The launch of the GeoEye-1 satellite by GeoEye (formerly Orbital Imaging Corporation or ORBIMAGE), a commercial satellite imagery company based in Dulles, Virginia, marks the coming of higher resolution maps in the internet.
Until now there has only been maps of commercial imagery 60 cm, but with GeoEye-1, google will get details of objects of size 50 cm (though the satellite can get 41 cm images). Thus we will be getting clearer maps of the places around us.
