Sincerity is the virtue of one who speaks truly about his or her own feelings, thoughts, desires.
Sincere expression carries risks to the speaker, since the ordinary screens used in everyday life are opened to the outside world. At the same time, we expect our friends, our lovers, our leaders "to be sincere".

01/12/2008: World AIDS Day (20yrs on!)
The number of people living with HIV is continuing to rise in every part of the world - including in the UK. There are now 33 million people living with HIV worldwide and 80,000 people living with HIV in the UK.
What is HIV?
HIV is a virus that attacks the body's immune system - the body's defence against diseases. The latest research suggests that between 70 and 90 per cent of people may experience symptoms of infection a few days after having been infected. Three symptoms occurring together: fever, rash and a severe sore throat should always be considered a potential indicator of HIV infection. These symptoms usually disappear within two or three weeks. Other people may not have symptoms to start with. In all cases, without effective treatment the immune system will eventually become very weak and no longer be able to fight off illnesses.
Are HIV and AIDS the same?
No. When someone is described as living with HIV, they have the HIV virus in their body. A person is considered to have developed AIDS when the immune system is so weak it can no longer fight off a range of diseases with which it would normally cope.
I don't know anyone with HIV... do I?
There are approximately 80,000 people living with HIV in the UK and about a third of these don't know that they are infected. The epidemic is still growing in the UK with around 7,000 new diagnoses every year. Even if someone you know is living with HIV, they may not feel able to tell you.
Is there a cure for HIV?
No, but treatment can keep the virus under control and the immune system healthy. People on HIV treatment can live a healthy, active life, although they may experience side effects from the treatment. If HIV is diagnosed late, treatment may be less effective in preventing AIDS.
What's it like living with HIV?
If people with HIV are diagnosed early and respond to treatment they can be healthy, work and have relationships like anyone else and have a long life expectancy.
Coming to terms with an HIV diagnosis and getting used to treatment can be very difficult however, and people living with HIV will often need support from healthcare providers, friends and family, employers and support organisations.
Why do people find it hard to tell others they are HIV positive?
People living with HIV may find it hard to tell others about their condition as they worry that people will reject them, or they will experience prejudice from friends, family and colleagues. People living with HIV can also experience discrimination in their workplace, in healthcare settings (e.g., GPs and dentists), from members of their local community and through the media.
HIV prejudice is often the result of ignorance about how HIV is passed on and unfounded fear of becoming infected. Encouraging those around us to talk about HIV and find out the facts can help overcome this. (source: www.worldaidsday.org)

Happy birthday Lorraine Kelly 30/11/2008
Lorraine Kelly (Presenter of LK Today)
Born: November 30, 1959 (1959-11-30) (age 48)
East Kilbride, Scotland
Occupation: Television presenter and journalist
Spouse: Steve Smith
Children: Rosie
Lorraine Kelly (born November 30, 1959 in East Kilbride) is a Scottish television presenter and journalist best known as a presenter for GMTV, the ITV morning television station. She currently resides in Blairgowrie, Perthshire. Kelly's husband is Dundonian, and this has led to a misconception that she is too. However, she spends time at a home in Blairgowrie and is an avid supporter of Dundee United.
Early life
Kelly's father John worked as a television service engineer. She attended Claremont High School in East Kilbride. She turned down a university place to read English and Russian in favour of a job on the East Kilbride News which was her local newspaper and then joined BBC Scotland as a researcher in 1983. She moved to TV-am as an on-screen reporter covering Scottish news in 1984.
Career
In July 1989, she presented TV-am's Summer Sunday programme with chief reporter Geoff Meade, and in February 1990 she became a main presenter of Good Morning Britain alongside Mike Morris.
In April 1991, she was awarded the TRIC Diamond Jubilee Award for New Talent of the Year. She helped launch GMTV in January 1993, and presented a range of programmes, including the main breakfast show with Eamonn Holmes. She presented Liquid Eurovision and became the national spokeswoman for the United Kingdom during the collation of votes at the Eurovision Song Contest, in both 2003 and 2004, replacing the long-serving Colin Berry.
She writes weekly columns for The Sun and The Sunday Post. Kelly is also an avid Dundee United F.C. supporter and has been in attendance at matches. Between 2004 and 2007, she served a period as Rector of the University of Dundee. She currently resides near Dundee with her family when she is not working in London. She also has a home in Berkshire.
She has made several notable appearances on Have I Got News For You? and has presented it once herself. She also claims to have an in-built "bullshit detector". She also made a cameo appearance in the BBC Scotland soap opera, River City.
She currently presents her show LK Today which airs Monday to Thursday at 08:40 on GMTV, since 1994. From 2003, she co-presented This Morning with Phillip Schofield, on Mondays and Fridays, to allow Fern Britton to spend more time with her family, but she left in March 2006.
Kelly acted as the guest host for two shows in 2006. Firstly for an episode in the second series of The Friday Night Project for Channel 4 in January and then later, on 25 October for The Paul O'Grady Show. She did so again for Paul O'Grady on 30 November 2006, her 47th birthday and owing to sheer popularity, yet again on 7 November 2007 and more recently on 23 April.
Kelly also hosted the 9th annual Glenfiddich Spirit of Scotland Awards on Thursday November 30, 2006 for STV.
According to the Sunday Mirror, Kelly has been banned from appearing in an advertising campaign for ASDA because her boss, GMTV's managing director Clive Couch, feared that such a move would lead to more bad publicity for GMTV, which was fined £2 million by broadcasting regulator Ofcom in September for conning viewers with its premium-rate phone lines.
Kelly filmed an ITV documentary programme Secrets Revealed - DNA Stories in 2006, made by SMG Productions, although to date, the show has yet to be broadcast.
During a GMTV Studio tour, she admitted she likes to eat instant porridge oats for her breakfast. In a survey Kelly was voted the celebrity most people would like to buy a car from.
She has claimed that single-faith schools are a cause of sectarianism in Scotland.
Personal life
She is married to Steve Smith, then cameraman when she was covering Scotland for TV-am in 1985. They have a daughter, Rosie, who was born in June 1994. Lorraine returned from maternity leave in late 1994 to present her own show, Nine O'Clock Live, which was later retitled Lorraine Live and then, at the start of 2000, LK Today.
Lorraine Kelly's Grand-Parents are from the South Derry town of Draperstown.
On 5 September 2006, on GMTV, she examined her own family tree.
Kelly is a celebrity patron of the Association for International Cancer Research.
On June 20, 2008 it was announced that she was awarded an honorary Doctor of Laws from the University of Dundee, where she was once rector.
