The Role of Microfinance in Addressing the HIV/AIDS Pandemic in Zambia: The Rainbow Model Provides a Future for AIDS Orphans
| |
| Poverty and HIV/AIDS constitute a vicious circle. Poverty creates vulnerability to HIV/AIDS, and HIV/AIDS leads to poverty. Unfortunately, the interventions of the national and international community are not moving as quickly as the desperation and the loss of hope in the people coping with the pandemic at the grassroots level. |

5.5 The HIV/AIDS threat: Working Out of Poverty
| |
| Over 25 million workers are infected with HIV/AIDS, and millions
more affected by the pandemic. The ILO has calculated that the size of the
labour force in high-prevalence countries will be between 10 and 30 per cent
smaller by 2020 than it would have been without the effect of HIV/AIDS,
which poses a serious threat to economic growth and development prospects.
Macroeconomic performance is undermined by rising labour costs
associated with the pandemic, through skills shortages, sickness and absenteeism
and reduced productivity and economic competitiveness, resulting in
a shrinking tax base, less foreign investment and fewer jobs. |

Social Media Marketing is Branding
| |
| Think of all the ways that companies use branding to build awareness of themselves or to promote their social awareness and customer service values. A few things come to mind such as greeters at the entrance of my favorite store, go-green awareness issues, charity drives that "give back" to the community for every purchase made, TV screens playing music videos or news as you wait in line, and the list goes on.
None of these things lead directly to conversions but they do lead to higher company awareness and the good old fashioned fuzzy-feelings we get when we know that that we are valued as a customer. Most times we are probably not even be aware of these things on a conscious level. But the effect shows as we have a tendency to patron these companies more frequently than the other alternatives.

Shocking Treatment Proposed For AIDS
| |
| "Shocking treatment proposed for AIDS
Zapping the AIDS virus with low-voltage electric current can nearly eliminate its ability to infect human white blood cells cultured in the laboratory, reports a research team at
the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City.
William D. Lyman and his colleagues found that exposure to 50 to 100 microamperes of
electricity - comparable to that produced by a cardiac pacemaker - reduced the infectivity
of the AIDS virus (HIV) by 50 to 95 percent. Their experiments, described March 14 in
Washington, D.C., at the First International Symposium on Combination Therapies,
showed that the shocked viruses lost the ability to make an enzyme crucial to their
reproduction, and could no longer cause the white cells to clump together - two key signs
of virus infection."
