Infographics on HIV

At Design for development we aim to make complex information simple and clear. We believe that when people are given accurate, factual information about a subject such as health, it helps them make better life choices. Equal Treatment, the magazine published by TAC, has been providing information about HIV for more than a decade.

This is our fifth year designing this useful resource and we have created quite a few infographics from research data supplied by TAC. If you are working in the HIV treatment literacy field, we, together with TAC, would like to share some of these graphic resources with you. Download the HIV Life Cycle hereand the Fight against HIV infographic here.

All resources are published under a creative commons license.

Equal Treatment magazine is freely available for download on the TAC website.

ulaulaman: Changes in the Rate of Expansion over Time This diagram reveals changes in the rate of expansion since the universe’s birth 15 billion years ago. The more shalow the curve, the faster the rate of expansion. The curve changes noticeably about 7.5 billion years ago, when objects in the universe began flying apart as a faster rate. Astronomers theorize that the faster expansion rate is due to a mysterious, dark force that is pulling galaxies apart. I use this image for my post about the void theory published on Doc Madhattan (in the network Field of Science!). The post is a more detailed version of my answer to frankietwohats and I finally published the same post on my italian blog, DropSea.

As well as areas with high risk of infection due to population density/ terrain. This is an essential tool for the Zombie Apocalypse.

Software Engineers Will Work One Day for English Majors - Bloomberg 

Although the very term “coding” evokes an image of tedium, it is an intellectually challenging activity, creative and even artistic. If you like puzzles and are good analytically, software development may be your cup of tea. You not only get to solve puzzles for a living, but in essence you compose them.

Can a hallucinogen from Africa cure addiction? 

Lotsof took it to get high but when the hallucinogenic effects wore off, he realised he no longer had the compulsion to take heroin. He became convinced that he had found the solution to addiction and dedicated much of his life to promoting ibogaine as a treatment.

Why Do Old Books Smell So Good?

The ink and chemicals used in the production of a book reacts with heat, moisture and light, causing the organic materials to break down. This is especially true for books with high acidity, like those made during the 19th and 20th centuries.

sunfoundation: Conducting Demystified The New York Times, in collaboration with the New York University Movement Lab, explains music conducting in this beautifully produced video. It’s part interview with Alan Gilbert, music director of the New York Philharmonic, and part rendering of motion capture data, which represents Gilbert’s conducting. To capture the data, the Movement Lab installed high-speed motion capture cameras, and Gilbert put on one of those funny-looking suits with the sensor balls on them. He conducted, and they recorded his body and his hands.

Public challenges to Christianity in Africa 

It is a shaky world we live in. And Africa is among the shakiest of the contenders for a prominent place in the sun in the twenty-first century. It will do none of us in Africa any good to stay out of these processes, nor can we allow ourselves to be excluded from them. This produces the kind of pressure that pushes demands for liberal democracy, market economies, and open trade policies upon African nations. The pressure is real in the sense that no economy can do the job it needs to do for a developing country and a largely poor population without significant interaction with the powerful economies or corporations of the world. But it is also and coercive in the sense that powerful economies or corporations either offer strong incentives or threaten serious sanctions, or both, to push for changes which will benefit them.

Who Can Name the Bigger Number? 

You have fifteen seconds. Using standard math notation, English words, or both, name a single whole number—not an infinity—on a blank index card. Be precise enough for any reasonable modern mathematician to determine exactly what number you’ve named, by consulting only your card and, if necessary, the published literature.

mothernaturenetwork: Why cemeteries are a great place to track acid rainThat date of death gives a good estimate of when the stone went into the ground above the grave and began to face elements. The wear and tear on the stone that follows can be caused by freezing and thawing temperatures, lawn care machinery and rain made acidic by pollutants it has picked up in its course through the atmosphere.
