The Concept of “Sat-cid-ananda”
Unknown, The Conservative Socrates - 2 hours ago
In the Vedanta tradition, the *Brahman*, who is the unchanging reality or the prime mover and creator of the universe, is related to the concept of “ *sat-cid-ananda*”—“*sat*” means being, existence, or truth; “*cid*” means consciousness or awareness; “*ananda*” means happiness, joy, or bliss.

As HIV Has Evolved, Dolutegravin Has Become Less Effective In Sub-Saharan Africa
News Staff, Science 2.0 blogs - 4 hours ago
Dolutegravir, the HIV wonder drug and current first-line treatment, is less effective in sub-Saharan Africa, and the reason is as old as evolution itself - mutation. As HIV copies itself and replicates, its genetic code (RNA) can change. While a drug may initially be able to suppress or even kill a virus, certain mutations can allow the virus to develop resistance to its effects. If a mutated strain begins to spread within a population, it can mean once-effective drugs are no longer able to treat people. read more
