'I'm Not Dead!' - Shekau Releases New Video, Debunks Military Claims!!!

The leader of the Boko Haram sect, Abubakar Shekau (or his clone), who is said to have been killed by Nigerian (or Cameroonian) troops last month is alive. And he wants the world to know.

A new video released through the regular channels has shown his face, and he is vocally debunking the stories of his death, and he has added that he is still in the business of making a Caliphate out of Nigeria.

The AFP says the video is 36-minutes long. "Here I am, alive. I will only die the day Allah takes my breath," Shekau cackled, adding that his administration was still "running...a Caliphate" and administering the punishments as prescribed by Sharia law.

There had been previous skepticism (by observers of the Northern insurgency) over the death of the man known as Shekau when it was reported last month. In the new video, Shekau wore combat fatigues and black rubber boots, and he was standing on the back of a pickup truck, shooting into the air with his anti-aircraft gun.

It is unclear where the video was shot. He spoke for 16 minutes in two languages: Arabia and Hausa.
The heavily bearded man, who looks not unlike the previous Shekaus in older videos has rubbished the military's claim that he had been killed, calling it propaganda.

"Nothing will kill me until my days are
over… I'm still alive. Some people asked
you if Shekau has two souls. No, I have
one soul, by Allah," he said, apparently
reading from a script.
"It is propaganda that is prevalent. I have
one soul. I'm an Islamic student.
"I'm the Islamic student whose seminary
you burnt… I'm not dead," he added,
apparently referring to the destruction of
the group's mosque in the Borno state
capital, Maiduguri, in 2009.

"We are running our caliphate, our
Islamic caliphate. We follow the Koran…
We now practice the injunctions of the
Koran in the land of Allah," he said.
The group also claimed to have shot
down a Nigerian air force jet that went
missing nearly three weeks ago.

Enjoy the use of Condom this Valentine. Thailand tells citizens

Valentine is fast approaching and the Government of Thailand have decided to launch a campaign to  help its citizens that are too shy to buy condoms. They will therefore distribute condoms in large quantities to the citizens in a campaign tagged "Condoms for Confidence".

"Teenagers, especially, do not have to be embarrassed about buying condoms. The ‎s ociety also have to accept that teenage girls buy condoms, which is better than more teenage girls getting pregnant.  We have to persuade Thais to accept condoms as a hygiene item in everyday life to protect against pregnancy and AIDS".

Cell-Associated HIV Transmission Contributes To HIV Epidemic

Dr. Deborah Anderson from Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) and her colleagues are challenging dogma about the transmission of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). Most research has focused on infection by free viral particles, while this group proposes that HIV is also transmitted by infected cells. While inside cells, HIV is protected from antibodies and other antiviral factors, and cell-to-cell virus transmission occurs very efficiently through intercellular synapses. The Journal of Infectious Diseases (JID) has devoted their December supplement to this important and understudied topic. The 10 articles, four from researchers at BUSM, present the case for cell-associated HIV transmission as an important element contributing to the HIV epidemic. Anderson chides fellow researchers for not using cell-associated HIV in their transmission models: "The failure of several recent vaccine and microbicide clinical trials to prevent HIV transmission may be due in p...
