Get a Perfect Career

I have good news for you: you don’t have to work at a job you don’t like! Yahoo Finance has an op-ed about finding the job you love.

Some selected excerpts from the article:

3. Stop saying financial issues hold you back.

Don’t use your financial constraints as a way to get out of making adult decisions. You can change your job or your career no matter where you are in life.

Look, this is all good news. You’re in control of your life, and you decide where you’ll work and how optimistic you’re going to be.

You can choose to complain and be angry that other people have more than you, or you can choose to consciously go after what you want every day of your life.

India to Continue Producing Generic Drugs

EarthTrends is reporting that an Indian court has ruled against a large pharmacutical company, which means that India can continue to manfuacture their own drugs without paying exuberant fees to the phramacutical company. Like in Rwanda, India will be producing the drugs to treat people suffering from HIV/AIDs.

Monday’s decision is a major development in the ongoing and often contentious debate over pharmaceutical patents and their impact on access to essential medicines, which has pitted aid agencies and developing countries against large drug companies and the governments of high-income nations.

Generic HIV Drugs to Start Production

After much bureaucratic silliness, a generic pharmaceutical company can now begin production of a drug that helps people suffering from HIV/AIDs. Rwanda had to notify of their intention of importing the drug then get approval for the drug to even be manufactured (that’s the simple version). The point is that soon in Rwanda people will be better treated.

Rwanda plans to import 260,000 packs of TriAvir from Canada. The drug is a fixed-dose combination of widely used anti-AIDS drugs lamivudine, zidovudine and nevirapine. The generic product is manufactured in Canada by Apotex Inc.

A mysterious man made of Lego washed ashore on a Dutch beach and is now guarding a drinks stand. A miraculous story that shall be the thing of legend!

“We saw something bobbing about in the sea and we decided to take it out of the water,” said a stall worker. “It was a life-sized Lego toy.”

We Feel Fine

The “blogosphere” is filled of many things that make little sense. As a result, when I see something like We Feel Fine I get overjoyed.

We Feel Fine is a graphical way to explore the zeitgeist of the moment based on what bloggers have written about their lives. You can see what age groups is more concerned about what and if guys care more about love more than girls.

It’s a fantastic way to explore the emotions of the internet.
