编记：开这个blog是源于我看了china aids 讨论组里面关于中国AIDS救助工作中的很多内容后，感觉自己可以做点小事，就是把讨论组中的内容广而告之，让更多的国人了解AIDS在中国的现状及趋势。
倡导：如果路过的你，也一样关注中国AIDS，也希望你能给为本BLOG供稿，并广而告之。

The call for nominations for the 2010 Red Ribbon Award is now open. As in the past, the award honors and recognizes exceptional grassroots leadership in responding to the AIDS epidemic. Nominations are accepted from December 1st, 2009 until February 28th, 2010.
Twenty-five community-based organizations will be selected through a community-led process and invited to attend the XVIIIth International AIDS Conference in Vienna from 18-23 July, 2010, where they will have an opportunity to showcase their work. All 25 organizations will receive $5,000 each. Five of these will receive special recognition and an additional $15,000.
This year the Red Ribbon Award will be given to community groups for outstanding leadership in responding to AIDS in one or more of the following categories:
Ensure that that people living with HIV receive treatment
Support HIV prevention, treatment and care programmes for people who use drugs
Remove punitive policies and laws, stigma and discrimination that block effective AIDS responses and marginalize key populations (men who have sex with men, transgender people, sex workers and prisoners)
Stop violence against women and girls and promote gender equality
Enhance social support for those affected by HIV, including orphans and vulnerable children
This year a special recognition Award will be presented to an organization whose cross-cutting approach jointly addresses AIDS and MDGs at the community level.
优点： a) 电子换向来代替传统的机械换向，性能可靠、永无磨损、故障率低，寿命比有刷电机提高了约6倍，代表了电动车的发展方向； b) 属静态电机，空载电流小； c) 效率高； d) 体积小。 缺点： a) 低速起动时有轻微振动，如速度加大换相频率增大，就感觉不到振动现象了； b) 价格高，控制器要求高； c) 易形成共振，因为任何一件东西都有一个固有振动频率，如果无刷电机的振动频率与车架或塑料件的振动频率相同或接近时就容易形成共振现象，但可以通过调整将共振现象减小到最小程度。所以采用无刷电机驱动的电动车有时会发出一种嗡嗡的声音是一种正常的现象。 d) 脚踏骑行时较费力，最好是电力驱动与脚踏助力相结合。
有刷电机有什么优缺点？
优点： a) 变速平稳，几乎感觉不到振动； b) 温升低，可靠性好； c) 价格低，所以被较多厂家选用。 缺点： a) 碳刷易磨损，更换较为麻烦，寿命短； b) 运行电流大，电机磁钢易退磁，降低了电机与电池的作用寿命。

These 7 are chosen from a larger delegation group, to which nominations are now being invited. A full delegation would eventually number about 40 people globally.
