What he said was repeated several times, this is a "a reform agenda" call "zero infections, zero and zero discrimination against AIDS-related death."

In order to face the disease one, one from Ukraine openly with HIV, Tetyana Afansiadi, life, woman tells her story of the representatives.

She told they are infected with HIV, and use the drug for 13 years, nearly 11 years, hepatitis C, but now there is a husband and an 8-year-old son. There is no HIV.

Three years ago, she participated in a drug treatment program, to make her live, work and health care as part of his son.

"Drug dependence and HIV infection requires treatment, not to prosecute," she said.

As in her hometown of opioid replacement therapy, such as changing the lives of her people, now is the time refused to stop anti-retroviral treatment for people who use drugs.

Although the state and government ministers, usually those who head the title of the health sector, in the Assembly Hall to the bright lights, scores of five group meetings attended by representatives of more than 40 individual side events.

Dark green from the high-profile some of the podium in the Great Hall of the sample survey:

Rwandan President Paul Kagame said: "It is time for Member States to commit to a stimulating agenda for change, overcome obstacles, effective, equitable and sustainable response to HIV and AIDS."

Jose Angel 科尔多瓦亚洛 Worth, Minister of Health of Mexico, the National Executive friendly, non-discriminatory health care system, and sex education to prevent HIV / AIDS calls.

"To achieve this goal, we call on all countries gathered here today, for your action is based on respect for human rights framework and focused on gender equality, to allow consolidation of an effective response without the stigma of HIV / AIDS, discrimination, homosexuality, transphobia; and any type of violence, "he said, referring to the part to degeneration.

Vice President of Mauritius and Monique Bellepeau, said: "The adverse effects of the AIDS epidemic in the socio-economic progress, especially in developing countries, decided there is no time for complacency."

She added, "After wrestling with AIDS in the past three decades, we are a vast body of knowledge, with a variety of new tools to complete the task today of emergency. More stringent prevention and universal access to treatment, care and support is required should not be underestimated. "

Thursday's speech to a three-day meeting on the last day of United Nations Member States are expected to adopt a declaration to guide the national response to HIV the next five years.

"Spirit has achieved far more than we ever could have hoped, when we designed her, " Steve said, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, principal investigator on the detector Squires. "The name will be a reminder that we need to continuously push forward and do our best to make new discoveries and opportunities. In the point of exploration is the next major goal, as we strive for. "

Endeavour to provide a lot of fruitful work in the opportunity set. Diameter crater 14 miles (22 km) - more than 20 times, than Victoria Crater, a greater opportunity to review the past two years. Along the orbit to observe that the western edge of the exposed ridge of rock exposure ages than any chance have seen so far. Point is in the spirit of these ridges, a southern "Cape York, " on the march west.

Opportunity and Spirit in April 2004 to complete its three-month prime missions on Mars. The two Mars rovers continue to prize, to extend the mission years. The two sides have been in ancient Mars may have been wet to support the enabling environment for microbial life an important discovery.

Nuclear power will continue to be Europe's energy an important part of the structure, the judge said Barbara Honorary President of the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority.

"Although some European countries changed Fukushima, such as Austria, Germany and Sweden game, others such as France and the UK with their nuclear program, " the judge said that nuclear energy is one of the few to meet the energy security, energy Independence and climate change need to reduce conflict.

In response to this request, Andreas Nauen, Germany, the Chief Executive stressed that the thermal system, renewable energy sources such as wind power can meet the security, independence and low-carbon standard.

"Most countries are likely to produce 20 to thirty percent of its electricity from wind energy needs,"he said.

The German government has decided to close its 2022 all the existing 17 nuclear reactors in Fukushima March 11 by the major earthquake that triggered the disaster later.

Kandeh Yumkella, Director Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), the level of renewable energy more competitive requirements of the competitive environment in general. "We need to reconsider the pricing model, and to ensure that all external pricing in."

New Zealand Reserve Bank to keep interest rates unchanged

New Zealand Reserve Bank Governor Alan Bollard on Thursday held the Official Cash Rate (OCR) unchanged at 2.5 percent, as expected.

Announcing the Reserve Bank's latest interest rate decision, the central bank governor said the economy had improved over the last three months, boosted by continuing high export prices, and that firms were feeling more confident about hiring and investment.

Despite this, he said, household spending was expected to remain weak for some time, weighed down by high levels of debt.

As a result, pressures on underlying inflation remain constrained and only gradual rises were to be expected in the OCR over the coming two years.

Bollard said economic activity has been significantly disrupted by the Feb. 22 6.3-magnitude Christchurch earthquake.

"However, while many firms and households - particularly within Canterbury - continue to be adversely affected, it appears the negative confidence effect of the earthquake on economic activity throughout the rest of the country has been limited," his statement said.

The statement went on to say that reconstruction in Canterbury is projected to add about 2 percentage points to GDP growth over 2012, and boost the level of activity for several years after that.

The central bank's last move on the benchmark interest rate was on March 10 when it reduced the OCR from 3 percent to 2.5 percent.

Bollard said the New Zealand dollar had risen substantially over the past two months.

"This appreciation, supported by high export prices for primary producers, is negatively affecting other parts of the tradable sector, constraining rebalancing of the New Zealand economy," he said in the statement.

The New Zealand dollar has risen sharply following the Reserve Bank's decision to leave the official cash rate unchanged at a record low of 2.5 percent.

The currency rose immediately after the announcement and by midday was buying 82.3 U.S. cents - close to last week's post- float high of 82.6 U.S. cents.

solar flare 2011:5 years, the outbreak of the strongest solar storms

NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory satellite observations to 5 years the most violent solar flare eruption, reached the earth can cause moderate geomagnetic storms affect satellite communications and power supply on the planet. According to Solar Dynamics Observatory satellite observations, in addition to a small radiation storms, but the sun broke out accompanied by a flare and a coronal mass ejections.

 

The National Weather Service Space Weather Prediction Center Program Coordinator, Bill. Muta Fu said: "This time is very dramatic explosion." He pointed out that medium-sized solar flares in the 6 Eastern Time 1:41 (Greenwich Mean time 5:41) peak. "We first observed the flare size is not large, in the subsequent eruption, we observed high-energy particle radiation and large-scale coronal mass ejections. You can observe all ejected from the solar surface material, very spectacular sight. "

 

Solar Dynamics Observatory satellite launched in 2010, photographed the solar eruptions of high-definition photos and video. According to observation, the sun broke out visually spectacular, as not being on the planet, the impact on the Earth may be very small. NASA said in a statement: "a tremendous increase in mushroom cloud of particles, and then fall back to the surface of the sun, seems to cover almost half of the solar surface."

 

Muta Fu pointed out that space weather analysts are closely watching the sun broke out, to determine whether the cause between the Sun and the Earth's magnetic field collision. At the distance of about 150 million kilometers or so. In an interview with French media interview he said: "Part of our job is to monitor both the material to determine whether the outbreak of the sun, the earth flying, basically because of the gas jet and the material with a magnetic field. Within a day or two we will see some of the sun spray material impact on the Earth, the formation of a geomagnetic storm. We do not think this will be a very intense geomagnetic storm, but the strength can still reach the middle level. "

 

Space Weather Prediction Center said that the sun caused the outbreak in 8 small to medium-sized geomagnetic storms, from approximately 18:00 Greenwich Mean Time began. Any geomagnetic storm activity will end within 24 hours. National Weather Service, said: "There are a lot of solar radiation high-energy proton storm, this type of activity since December 2006 is the first time since the observed."

 

A total of 12 satellites and spacecraft to monitor the heliosphere, NASA Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter will carry instruments to measure and analyze the radiation effects can be derived. The effects of radiation cosmic ray Telescope (CRaTER) project, said lead researcher Harran Spencer: "CRaTER task starts the past two years, which is observed most important events. This is an exciting moment. Ironically, is in the planning of this task, we initially thought that should be launched in the solar maximum, because the intense solar particle events often occur during this period. In fact, we are launching solar minimum, the sun takes a long time to wake up . This is an interesting and important moment because there are indications that the Sun is back on active status. "

 

Geomagnetic storms caused by solar eruptions on the planet will affect the number of power grids, satellite global positioning systems and other equipment, while flying over the polar regions will lead to forced to change their flights over the route. He said: "Under normal circumstances would not cause much destruction, threatening in the controllable range. If the passenger unit from the U.S. to Asia over the North Pole, you will find more than a dozen flights. Every day is like this . massive radiation storms, some airlines will allow flights for security reasons, change the route, away from the polar regions, to ensure flight to keep communication open. operating the satellite company will pay close attention, because the geomagnetic storm will be a variety of ways interfere with the satellite and the receiver receiving the signal. "NASA said that in the 8 pm and 9, the polar regions may also be observed in the northern lights and southern auroras.
