Mitchell Warren, executive director of the Aids Vaccine Advocacy Coalition (Avac) in Barcelona, says a new vaccine has succeeded in suppressing the virus in five patients without the need for daily drugs. According to The Independent , Warren said the success was recorded when two innovative HIV vaccines were combined. The participants reportedly received a booster dose of one of the vaccines and a cancer drug called romidepsin, which has been shown to ‘flush out’ the HIV virus from tissues. It is said that the virus quickly returned and began to spread again in 10 of these patients, who resumed taking antiretroviral medication, but five of them have been free of the virus with no need to take daily drugs. He said after receiving the treatment, the virus was undetectable in five out of 24 participants and its spread was stopped by their immune systems. The executive director said that one of them has been drug-free for seven months. “Long-term systems that don’t require da...

The ace producer who has a stake in Flobyt, a free WiFi service , said he’s now into partnerships. “Brand ambassador? I stopped that a long time ago. We are bigger than those things now.

Nokia is set to relaunch Noki 3310 phone, which is reputed to be one of the strongest phone ever with long lasting battery life. Nokia-branded phone maker HMD is set to relaunch a new brand of Nokia 3310 which they promised will have the same quality as the old Nokia 3310. Like its predecessor, it will still be called the Nokia 3310, but this time it’s running Nokia’s Series 30+ software, with a 2.4-inch QVGA display, a 2-megapixel camera, and even a microSD slot. It’s also a lot more colorful this time around, with glossy yellow and red colors, and matte grey and dark blue models. It’s instantly recognizable as a Nokia, and HMD has even included a modern Snake game on the handset just to play on the nostalgia. Just like most feature phones, standby time on the Nokia 3310 is 31 days, alongside a talk time of 22 hours. That’s a massive amount of battery life, but as the phone is so basic you’re hardly going to be wasting battery away on Snapchat or Facebook. The new ...

In a statement made available to journalists by Rev. Ogwuche Bamaiyi, Warri District Secretary, Delta state, he said the main issues that led to the crisis that rocked the church for the past three years were not addressed by the court. Rev. Ogwuche argued that it will be premature for a faction to rush into celebration when the issue has not been permanently laid to rest, noting that any one holding on to a claim that his faction has won is deceiving the public as both factions can lay claim to victory depending on the angle the judgment was viewed. " The day had finally come and the Supreme Court had given her verdict on the matter. However, the crisis is apparently far from being over, at least for now and most probably, a long time to come. “This is because instead of putting an 'end' to the whole unfortunate mess in the house of God, the ruling has rather opened other possibilities of a long legal battle between the two factions which must start f...

Miami Republican Rep.   Ileana Ros-Lehtinen on Wednesday criticized the Trump administration’s move to  lift protections for transgender students , who under Obama-era rules had been allowed to use public-school bathrooms and locker rooms of their choice. Ros-Lehtinen — whose son,   Rodrigo Lehtinen, is transgender — noted that she and Democratic Rep.   Jared Polis of Colorado in 2015 introduced legislation (the Student Non Discrimination Act) prohibiting schools from discriminating against students based on sexual orientation or gender identity. She has also signed on to a friend-of-the-court brief in a Supreme Court case seeking to protect access to public accommodations for transgender students. “This lamentable decision can lead to hostile treatment of transgender students and studies have shown that bullying and harassment can be detrimental to the emotional and physical well-being of teenagers,” Ros-Lehtinen said in a statement. “Evidence has shown tha...

For five weeks in a row, the Trumps have been on the cover of  Us Weekly. While a traditional president can expect to find himself on A1 of the  New York Times  each morning, it is, shall we say, the more unusual sort who can look forward to monopolizing the real estate usually reserved for Kim Kardashian’s extended family. Though  People  got some flack  for its November 9 cover announcing Trump’s victory — which came awfully soon after the magazine revealed that Natasha Stoynoff, a  People  reporter,  had been sexually assaulted by Trump years ago  while interviewing home for a People  story — scarcely a week has gone by since Inauguration Day that the Trumps haven’t graced the cover of at least one celebrity glossy. The New York  Post  deemed  Us Weekly ’s wall-to-wall coverage a “ cover spree .” But what’s notable about this coverage is not just the quantity but also the tone: It appears as if the def...

Residents of Port Harcourt have been advised to stop drinking garri soaked in cold water for now, because rats that carry the highly contagious Lassa fever virus also like exposed dry garri.

Rather, garri should be consumed in the traditional way prepare it well boiled hot water or pour the garri in a pot of boiling hot water and steer it.” Dr. Green a...
