Forms of HIV can jump from chimps to humans, study says

With the recent emergence of Zika virus as a threat to human health, and discovery of two new strains of HIV in 2009, researchers say the threat of animal viruses jumping to humans is not as a big a concern as it should be.

Meet Graham.
He might appear a little strange, but he has been carefully sculpted to show how human beings would look if they had been designed to survive a car crash.

Graham was created by the Transport Accident Commission to show just how vulnerable our bodies can be when involved in a road traffic collision.
As part of the “Toward Zero” road safety campaign, Graham will show what we might look like if we were built to survive on our busy roads.

After months of research by a leading trauma surgeon and a car crash investigator, Graham was finally created by acclaimed artist Patricia Piccinini.
And here’s why he looks like he does.
To start with Graham’s skull has been engineered to absorb more of the impact earlier, much like a helmet.
The structure of his skull is larger with inbuilt crumple zones to absorb any impact forces from a car’s windscreen.
The crumple zones aid in slowing down the momentum of his head as it moves forward on impact and increases his skull’s ability to stop the force from continuing through to damage his brain.

Graham’s brain is also protected by a much bigger skull with more cerebrospinal fluid and ligaments to brace the brain when a collision occurs.
To help avoid injury his nose is reduced and his ears are protected by the larger structure of his skull and neck.
Fatty tissue has been added around protruding areas like his cheekbones to help further absorb the energy on impact.
Graham has also been designed with stronger ribs to give him better protection in a crash.
His chest is large and barrel-like to withstand greater impacts. However, his torso is more airbag-like than armour-like.

Sacks, that do a similar job to that of an airbag, have been placed between each of Graham’s ribs.
On impact these airbags absorb the force and reduce his forward momentum.
The airbags provide an inbuilt added layer of protection for the heart and other vital organs.
Injuries to the legs, feet and ankles can cause long-term debilitation because we are so reliant on them for everyday movement.
The shin itself is the least protected bone in the body, with only a thin layer of skin covering it.

Graham has an inbuilt defence to help avoid these situations altogether.
Strong, hoof-like legs with added joints allow him to jump out of the way quickly in a “spring-loaded” fashion.
“Cars have evolved a lot faster than humans and Graham helps us understand why we need to improve every aspect of our roads system to protect ourselves from our own mistakes,” said TAC’s chief executive officer Joe Calafiore in an online statement.
“People can survive running at full pace into a wall but when you’re talking about collisions involving vehicles, the speeds are faster, the forces are greater and the chances of survival are much slimmer.”

Everyone listen up. A woman being pregnant does not give you the right to comment on her body or what she’s doing with it.
Her pregnancy is not an invitation for you to offer your opinions on how she should behave or how she

A 20 year old woman named Danish Couch from Kansas has given birth to three sets of twins in a little over two years, with the latest born last month.

“People just consider me a freak of nature when I tell them,” said the 20-year-old mom, who apparently has a condition in which she releases more than one egg per month.
