It is bad enough that people are dying of AIDS, but no one should die of ignorance.
-Elizabeth Taylor
As the first of December, today is also World AIDS Day, an opportunity for people all over the world to unite in the fight against HIV, show their support for people living with HIV and to commemorate people who have died. As the first ever global health day, World AIDS Day promotes learning the facts about this destructive pandemic, and putting that knowledge into action. Although this is a day to advocate for AIDS awareness, it is important to remember that the fight against this disease never stops. (Source: http://www.worldaidsday.org/)
Elizabeth Taylor was extremely well-known for her tireless activism against HIV, and her charitable legacy continues to live on through the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation. To honor her memory, and raise funds for her cause, bidding is now open for the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation Online Auction.

According to Fast Company Design the bike was built in just two weeks and uses eighteen steel strips that are fastened together at symmetrical points.” Click the image to find out more.
