I'm looking for something to make that uses an electromechanical element (it moves) and facilitates blind people to live independently. Even if you don't think it exists, could you give me some ideas? Thanks!
It doesn't have to be something that helps them to see, just to function more independently. For example, a pair of curtains that open and close themselves at different times of the day if someone finds it difficult to tell light levels. Something simple like that.

I went to a conference last month and the speaker was Erik Weihenmayer, a blind person who's claim to fame was that he has climbed the highest peaks on all of the worlds continents (including Mt. Everest). He showed a video of him using this device (that aids in seeing). I thought it was the the most impressive device I have seen in a long time. And, if you ever have a chance to see Erik speak, do yourself a favor and don't miss it.

How did AIDS start and why did it start in Africa?
lex
In my regional geography book talks about Africa and how AIDS has a huge impact in the region. Though it does not say how it started. So i would like to know: how did it start? Was it ibecause humans had close contact with monkeys or was it bio-testing for companies and countries?
Answer
Well my Troll like friend, when a man and a monkey love eachother very very much they do the happy dance which involves the man to mount the monkeys anal and probe it with his weiner, after this is done he moans in ecstasy and explodes inside the monkeys anus giving eachother AIDS.

Answer
AIDS is a disease caused by a virus called HIV. Infection can be caused by penetrating sexual contact (anal sex, vaginal sex) or through transmission of infected blood (sharing infected needles when doing drugs). AIDS usually takes several years to develop once a person is infected with HIV. Once a person starts to develop AIDS, his immune system gets weaker, making him more prone to infections than a normal person. Eventually, a person will get very unusual infections, which a person who has a normal immune system would never get. The end outcome is invariably death. Nowadays, HIV is very easily treated with medications, such that they can lead a normal life and never progress to AIDS.
