Question: (CNN) -- Bill Gates is putting out a call to inventors, but he's not looking for software, or the latest high-tech gadget. This time he's in search of a better condom.

On its Grand Challenges website, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is offering a $100,000 startup grant to the person who designs "the next generation condom that significantly preserves or enhances pleasure" and promotes "regular use."

It may sound like the setup for a joke, but the goal is deadly serious. While researchers call condoms one of the best ways to stop the spread of HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, getting people to use them is another story.

The foundation wants to see something that will lead men and women outside of a committed relationship to stop and think twice before having unprotected sex. The startup grant could lead to $1 million in further funding.

"Male condoms are cheap, easy to manufacture, easy to distribute, and available globally, including in resource-poor settings, through numerous well-developed distribution channels," the foundation says. Nevertheless, many people are reluctant to use them because they complain that prophylactics interfere with pleasure and intimacy. This creates "a trade-off that many men find unacceptable," the foundation notes.

Contraception, by the numbers

In some places and cultures, condom use is often seen as a sign that a man has AIDS, and many women won't sleep with such men. Female condoms are even more difficult to use and women are often afraid to suggest using them.

"Any advance or new design that gets people to use condoms would be a big plus," Dr. Anthony Fauci, head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and one of the world's leading AIDS researchers, said in an interview with CNN. He says great strides have been made in treating HIV infection in Africa, but for every person who is treated two more become newly infected. 1. What is Bill Gates looking for?

Question: Once upon a time there was a cat named Pizza. Pizza was black with four white feet and a brown tail. Pizza had three friends. They were Dig the dog, Mittens the rooster, and Bub the duck. When they were in school one day, their teacher told them the story of the super scary sock monster. She warned them to stay as far away from the sock monster as they could. Wanting to show how brave they were, Pizza, Dig, Mittens, and Bub went off to take a picture of the sock monster. Before they left, they each packed one type of fruit. Pizza packed an apple. Dig packed a pear. Mittens packed a banana. Bub packed a grape.

It took a long time but they finally found the sock monster. He lived in a cave. The cave was under the school. The sock monster was not looking in their direction when they found him. As quiet as they could, they walked up to him. Pizza got the camera ready. Just as Pizza was about to take the picture, Bub tripped over a stick. The noise caused the sock monster to look at the brave friends. The sock monster was angry!

"He looks mad! What can we do?" wondered Mittens?

"Maybe he likes fruit." said Pizza, "Let's throw him the fruit we packed."

Pizza gave the sock monster his apple. The sock monster didn't eat it. Bub gave the sock monster his grape. The sock monster didn't eat it. Mittens gave the sock monster her banana. The sock monster didn't eat it. Dig gave the sock monster her pear. The sock monster ate it!

"Thanks!" said the sock monster. "I was really hungry. Pears are my favorite."

No longer hungry, the sock monster let Pizza take a picture. The brave friends returned to their teacher and showed her the picture.

"You are all very brave," said the teacher. "But you didn't listen to me. I am keeping the picture. It is your punishment."

Question: (CNN) -- Ukraine has been wracked with ceaseless demonstrations for weeks as protesters demand constitutional reform and a closer relationship with Europe instead of Russia. A breakthrough finally came Tuesday: Prime Minister Mykola Azarov and his government resigned, and the national parliament voted overwhelmingly to repeal sweeping anti-protest laws passed earlier this month.

Still, activists say that while they're pleased by these developments, their fundamental concerns have yet to be addressed. Amid the protests are accounts of police brutality and government intimidation. The desire for a government shake-up was spurred by the government's decision in November to forgo a planned trade deal with the European Union, which many interpreted as a turn away from Europe and toward Russia instead.

CNN iReport had the opportunity to speak to a native Ukrainian who has spent days on the streets of central Kiev, the power base of the opposition. The 31-year-old, who works as a project manager, has been photographing and standing alongside those who are protesting. He shared his thoughts and photos to provide a firsthand view of the demonstrations and the motivations behind them.

Freddy UA asked to be identified with an alias for his protection because of the current state of his country. The interview below has been edited for clarity and brevity.
