Geography Lesotho is a small African country located in the southern portion of Africa. Lesotho is enclaved by the country, South Africa. Lesotho’s natural resources are water, agricultural grazing land, diamonds, sand, clay and building stone. The country’s terrain consists of highlands with plateaus, hills, and mountains. The country is divided into 10 healthcare districts. The mountainous terrain and limited road infrastructure of Lesotho creates a barrier for individuals to access these healthcare facilities (Coburn, Okano, and Blower 2013). Access to Healthcare Despite the continued efforts to combat the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Africa, the infection rate and prevalence of HIV are still on the rise in small countries such as Lesotho. A contributing factor to the rise in infection rates and prevalence of HIV in Lesotho is the lack of individuals getting screened for HIV. Many individuals who are infected do not get screened because of limited access to healthcare services. According to Lesia, Miller, Rigodon, Joseph, and Furin (2013), Lesotho has “HIV prevalence of approximately 25%” (p. 72). Although antiretroviral therapy (ART) has been available for many years, only a small percentage of people infected with HIV in Lesotho have access to healthcare services. Lesia et al. (2013) found “approximately less than 15% of the population in Lesotho who is infected with HIV have access to treatment” (p. 72). Having a lack of access to healthcare services such as ART treatment is…

Introduction South Africa has the largest number of HIV infections, with approximately 6.4 million people living with HIV ( Shisana O et al., 2014) and 29.5% (National Department of Health, 2014) of this part were pregnant women. Figure 1 (Barron et al., 2013) showed prevalence of HIV infection among pregnant women from 1990 and 2010. From 2002 to 2012, HIV prevalence decreased among children (Avert, 2015). However, there were 9% of newly infected with HIV live in South Africa in 2011 (UNAIDS,…

This book tells the story of Damon Courtenay as he tries to overcome the adversities caused by haemophilia and Aids. After I finished this book, I was disappointed by the treatment people with HIV and Aids received, particularly by the men and women in the medical profession. I don't want to sound hypocritical and judge these people because personally, I don't know how I will react to such situation, particularly in the 1980’s where the knowledge of this disease was very low. I also believe…

a hard time but because he knows the grass is greener on the other side. He also sings, “I 'm pushing to stay with something better,”(6) reiterating that he is struggling to overcome his addiction. All throughout the poetic song he repeats himself as most songs do called a chorus, but he more than repeats the chorus, he purposely repeats himself, such as in line 20, 30, and 44, as symbolism, a symbol for the habitual repetitive use of addictive behavior, that is alcoholism. Think of someone in…

I will now look at drop shipping which has been developed as a result of disintermediation. It is defined by (Shopify 2016) as “Drop shipping is a retail fulfillment method where a store doesn 't keep the products it sells in stock. Instead, when a store sells a product, it purchases the item from a third party and has it shipped directly to the customer. As a result, the merchant never sees or handles the product”. With the advancements in technology drop shipping has become a very valuable…

resistance not only hinders your muscles ability to receive carbs for energy, but now causes them to break down in place of the “missing” sugar, which has been in your fat cells this whole time. How do we stop this from going too far and prevent further fat gains? Eating fewer calories is not the answer. Eating less sugar is. Calories do have some effect to your weight gains because eating too much obviously causes fat to become present. However, the main villain in this situation is excessive…

Broadcasters have learned the power of Internet and how YouTube can turn videos into viral, which means make millions of views in a short period of time via online sharing social websites. The TV show “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”, an American late-night talk show, truly understood the power of YouTube and, in 2013, produced a fake viral video called “Twerk Fail” that went viral with 18 million views. The “home-made” video consists of a girl “twerking”, falling down into a candle and ending up setting…

I would be a paleontologist in kindergarten so I could breed dinosaurs. And I also remember distinctly going home and crying after learning that all the cool ones were dead. Nobody cares about birds, and my dinosaur phase soon wore off. Although my little life now had no purpose I continued to draw. Because of all my practice I was more advanced than the other children in my classes and it was uncommon for me to show off my artwork. Don’t get me wrong it was still pretty bad, but for a 5 year…
