Scientists used a DNA-snipping enzyme
called Cas9 to cut out the virus
The cell's gene repair machinery then
takes over, soldering the loose ends of the

virus-free cell

to go into the clinic,' said Dr Khalili
Once HIV conquers a human cell, it will stay
there forever.
It inserts its deadly genome permanently into its
victims' DNA, forcing them to require medical
treatment for the rest of their life.
But now, for the first time, researchers in
Philadelphia have found a way to completely
delete HIV from human cells by ‘snipping’ them
out.

The team of Temple University School of
Medicine said the breakthrough marks the first
successful attempt to eliminate latent HIV-1
virus from human cells – and could be a cure for
other latent infections.

Feeling forgetful? Just ONE bad night's sleep
can have a dramatic effect on your memory,
researchers warn
‘This is one important step on the path toward a
permanent cure for AIDS,' said Kamel Khalili,
PhD, Professor and Chair of the Department of
Neuroscience at Temple.
'It's an exciting discovery, but it's not yet ready
to go into the clinic. It's a proof of concept that
we're moving in the right direction,' he added,
Temple University makes promising steps
towards cure for HIV
In a study published by the Proceedings of the
National Academy of Sciences, Dr Khalili and
colleagues detail how they created molecular
tools to delete the HIV-1 proviral DNA.
HOW THE PROCESS WORKS
Researchers based the two-part HIV-1 editor on
a system that evolved as a bacterial defence
mechanism to protect against infection.
When deployed, a combination of a DNA-snipping
enzyme called a nuclease and a targeting strand
of RNA called a guide RNA (gRNA) hunt down
the viral genome and remove the HIV-1 DNA.
Dr Khalili's lab engineered a 20-nucleotide strand
of gRNA to target the HIV-1 DNA and paired it
with a DNA-sniping enzyme called Cas9 and
used to edit the human genome.
From there, the cell's gene repair machinery
takes over, soldering the loose ends of the
genome back together – resulting in virus-free
cells.

'Since HIV-1 is never cleared by the immune
system, removal of the virus is required in order
to cure the disease,' explained Dr Khalili.
These molecular tools also hold promise as a
therapeutic vaccine; cells armed with the
nuclease-RNA combination proved impervious to
HIV infection.
Worldwide, more than 33 million people have
HIV, including more than 1 million in the United
States.
Every year, another 50,000 Americans contract
the virus, according to the U.S. Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention.
In the UK, around 100,000 people were living
with HIV in the UK in 2013. That’s around one
person in 665.
Although highly active antiretroviral therapy
(Haart) has controlled HIV-1 for infected people
in the developed world over the last 15 years, the
virus can rage again with any interruption in
treatment.
'The low level replication of HIV-1 makes
patients more likely to suffer from diseases
usually associated with ageing,' Dr Khalili said.
These include cardiomyopathy – a weakening of
the heart muscle – bone disease, kidney disease,
and neurocognitive disorders.
'These problems are often exacerbated by the
toxic drugs that must be taken to control the
virus,' Dr Khalili added.

from the patient. That will cure AIDS. I think this
technology is the way we can do it.

ok If I'm the person sending,how do I go about that?
and do I have a 100% assurance I will get a visa if I get an invitation?

Hi all,

Each time anyone calls me either from NL or
from referral and I tell them to try the United States
they think its the hardest visa to get in life but this
is not true.

I will like anyone interested in going to usa as a visitor
to state his or her interest here so that i can show you
the way to go about it right here, we will all see the
result of the application here.

I just helped a friend of my pastor to secure his through
searching for pastor's conference for him,

good day sir.pls how can someone send me an invitation visa from the US. and how do I redeem it too?

Career / 10 Skills You Need To Get A $100,000 Engineering Job At Google by nicko92: 5:09am On Dec 21, 2014
Google is among the most sought after employers in

the world. Engineers are the rock stars at Google — and

they're paid like one.

Interns start at $70,000 to $90,000 salaries, while

software engineers pull in $118,000 and senior

software engineers make an average of $152,985. But

one does not simply walk into the Googleplex.

The company receives upwards of 2.5 million job

applications a year, but only hires about 4,000 people.

For would-be Googlers, the Google in Education team

has released a list of skills that they want to see in

potential engineers.

"Having a solid foundation in computer science is

important in being a successful software engineer," the

company says. "This guide is a suggested path for

university students to develop their technical skills

academically and non-academically through self-

paced, hands-on learning."

Here are the skills Google wants its tech talent to

master, complete with online resources to get you

started...


Learn to code in at least one object-oriented

programming language, like C++, Java, or Python.

Consult MIT or Udacity.

Read More : Hack Facebook User Account (Premium)

1. Learn To Code

It’s not just important to know how to code. You shoul

also be able to test code, because Google wants you to

be able to 'catch bugs, create tests, and break your

software.'

2. Test Your Code

It is important to have some background in abstract

math, like logical reasoning and discrete math, which

lots of computer science draws on.

3. Have Some Background In Abstract Math

Get to know operating systems, for they'll be where you

do much of your work.

4. Get To Know Operating Systems

Become familiar with artificial intelligence. Google love

robots.

5. Become Familiar With Artificial Intelligence

Google wants you to learn about fundamental data

types like stacks, queues and bags as well as grasp

sorting algorithms like quicksort, mergesort and

heapsort.

6. Understand Algorithms And Data Structures

Learn cryptography. Remember, cybersecurity is

crucial.

7. Learn Cryptography

Stanford says that when you do that, 'you will learn how

a program written in a high-level language designed fo

humans is systematically translated into a program

written in low-level assembly more suited to machines

8. Learn How To Build Compilers

Add Java Script, CSS, Ruby and HTML to your skillset.

W3school and CodeAcademy are there to help.

9. Learn Other Programming Languages

Also, learn parallel programming because being able to

carry out tons of computations at the same time is

powerful.


10. Learn Parrallel programming

@HTC1: If you have custom ROM on your HTC1, then you need to re-flash the exact Google Gapps for the version of that HTC1.
E.g if the HTC1 is android 4.4.4, you need flash the earliest google apps/Gapps on the phone.
View this page for details about Gapps and downloads: http://www.arykblog.com/2014/03/what-is-gapps.html

However, if the ROM on the HTC1 is a Stock ROM (the ROM that comes with the Phone), download Mobogenie then,use mobogenie to update your Google Play Service and the Playstore then restart your phone.

@LG: As for the LG, does the phone hits up? If yes, backup the phone contents and perform a full wipe on the phone. If you know more about engineering android phones, I suggest that you change the phone's recovery to 4EXT or[b] TWRP [/b]recovery.
Most android devices charge from the recovery and changing the recovery could be a lasting solution -It is a tested and confirmed solution on HTC, Samsung and Motorolla android phones. Although, I have not done it on LG, I believe that would work for it too.
