Music is an art form whose medium is sound and silence. Its

common elements are pitch (which governs melody and harmony),
rhythm (and its associated concepts tempo, meter, and articulation,
dynamics, and the sonic qualities of timbre and texture.

The creation, performance, significance, and even the definition of

music vary according to culture and social context. Music can be
divided into genres and subgenres. Although the divided lines and
relationships between music genres are often subtle, it is
sometimes open to personal interpretations, and occasionally
controversial. Within the arts, music may be classified as a
performing art, a fine art, and auditory art. It may also be divided
among art music and folk music.

TUBERLOSIS (TB) IN AIDS
The global war on AIDS could be lost if the world ignores tuberculosis, often
a death sentence for people infected with HIV, former South African President Nelson
Mandela warned at a global AIDS conference recently held in Bangkok. “The wold
has made defeating AIDS its priority. This is a blessing, but TB remains ignored”,
said Mandela. He steered clear the controversay to focus on the plight of millions
suffering from HIV and TB.
About 14 million pple are infected with HIV and T.B,

70% living in Sub-Saharan Africa, the region hardest hit by HIV/AIDS, which has
killed 20 million worldwide. HIV, the virus which causes AIDS, destroys the immune
system and makes patients vulnerable to diseases such as TB, an infectious illness that
accounts for up to one-third of all HIV/AIDS deaths.
“We cannot win the battle against AIDS if we do not fight TB. TB is too often
a death sentence for people with AIDS. It does not have to be this way” Mandela said.
He said resources for detecting and treating TB were woefully short despite the
world having had a cure for it more than 50 years ago.

I tell you not worry about yourself.

food or clothing?
Look at the birds in the sky, they don‟t plant or harvest. They don‟t even store
grain in barns. Yet your father in heaven cares for them. Aren‟t you work more
than the birds?

Don‟t worry and ask yourselves, will I have anything to eat? Will I have
something to drink? Will I have any clothes to wear?

Housekeeping and File Management.

Housekeeping is a very important part of Word processing.

In order to ensure an efficient word processing system it is

important to establish and maintain reliable routines for the
procedures concerned with the storage of information on discs.
This includes ensuring that the correct storage has taken place, that
documents and files can be retrieved easily when required, and
generally tidying up to the discs so that old documents which are
no longer required are deleted to make space for new space for new
work. It also means making extra copies of discuss in case of
damage.

The housekeeping functions covers such things as:-

Formatting
Backing up discs.
Disc storage
Deleting or erasing documents
Copying documents.
Indexing of documents and discs.
And archiving-long term, off-line storage
Security – identity/access codes and passwords
System maintenance.

Usually one person will be made responsible for the housekeeping

function and will control and coordinate all the facilities which are
involved. This person may well be the supervisor of the Word
processing unit.

Required:

 (b) Move the second of the heading (Housekeeping……..) so that it
Becomes the first line thus the main heading. Leave two blank

„The Internet is library.‟ You will hear this kind of statement a lot from
people who know very little about either.

If the internet is a library, it‟s a strange one indeed. For starters, there is
no indexing system. At any rate, the books are not arranged on numbered
shelves but scattered on the floor. A lot of what is in the books is untrue,
even in the non-fiction ones. There is no librarian, and no information
desk. Did we mention also that the lights are turned off?

What is more, you can make as much noise as you like when using the
internet, while at the same time collecting facts and figures (and fiction
and music and video and sports results and weather reports and recipes)
from the all around the world.

In fact, the principle use of the internet is for e-mail; a way of sending
messages from your computer to someone else‟s computer whether in the
next room or in a different hemisphere,

Fasting could regenerate your immune system, study

Refraining from food for as little as two days can regenerate the immune
system, helping the body to fight infections, according to a new study.

Scientists at the University of Southern California said the findings could

have major implications for elderly and people suffering from damaged
immune system, such as cancer patients. Researchers tested the effects of
fasting for two to four day periods over the course of six months on both
mice and humans. In both cases, long periods of not eating significantly
lowered cell counts.

“And the good news is that the body got rid of the parts of the system that
might be damaged or old, the inefficient parts, during the fasting”. He
added. “Now, if you start with a system heavily damaged by
chemotherapy or using fasting cycles can generate, literarily, a new
immune system”.

The study also found that fasting reduces levels of the enzyme PKA, an
effect which is known to increase longevity in simple organisms, as well
as levels of the hormone IGF-I, which is known linked to aging, tumor
progression and cancer risk, in addition, a small pilot clinical trial found

17
that fasting for a 72-hour period to chemotherapy protected patients
against toxicity.

“While chemotherapy saves lives, it causes significant collateral damage

to the immune system. The results of this study suggest that fasting may
mitigate some of the harmful effects of chemotherapy” said Tanya Dorf,
assistant Professor of clinical medicine at the University of Southern
California.

More clinical studies are needed, and any such dietary intervention
should be undertaken only under the guidance of a physician.
