A Christmas candle is a lovely thing; It makes no noise at all, But softly gives itself away; While quite unselfish, it grows small.

Stem cell transplant or bone marrow transplant can keep a solid base to recover from HIV. In the year 2007, a patient had received a marrow transplant and in addition to that he was HIV positive, but as years passed it is witnessed that he has been actually cured from the disease.

Thomas Schneider of Berlin Charite hospital and colleagues stated that the particular patient had HIV and Leukaemia together, and in the year 2007 he had received a bone marrow transplant through a donor. It is now said that this patient has been freed from HIV and the virus is not to be seen anywhere in his body.

At last the Wikileaks founder, Julian Assange has been freed for the Jail in UK, as the UK court officially granted him bail. On the other he is now wanted in Sweden for the allegations of rape. The court granted him bail after he had paid £200,000 in cash and an addition £40,000 for his guarantee, which will be paid in two instalments of £20,000 each.

Justice Duncan Ouseley was the man of law who presented Julian Assange a formal bail but has said that his movements will be kept under strict conditions. Assange was wearing a dark grey coloured suite in the court, and he had arrived in a white coloured prison van.

Justice Ouseley said “The history of the way it [the case] has been dealt with by the Swedish prosecutors would give Mr Assange some basis that he might be acquitted following a trial”. One of Assange’s lawyers stated that his bail amount has already reached the banking system to be processed. Assange has received his bail but will still be staying at the Wandsworth prison for at least one week, as the prosecutors would be receiving a notice of appeal.
