World's first successful AIDS vaccine

It was 26 years ago when AIDS was first discovered. Every day, 7,500 people worldwide are newly infected with HIV; 2 million died of AIDS in 2007, UNAIDS estimates. Many scientist think that a successful vaccine would not be possible. But recently, the World Health Organization and UN agency for AIDS said that there is still hope. It was first time scientist used the combination approach that would prevent HIV at the same time treating it. Though it will be more likely take years for the vaccine widely spread. "It's an opening of a new gateway to a road that has brighter lights in it now and maybe some directions" said by Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Scientists around the world cheered the first taste of victory.

Mayweather dominating against the numero uno Juan Miguel Marquez

After the long awaited fight of the number one versus the numero uno. The undefeated known to be as Floyd "money" Mayweather dominated the fight against the three time world champion Juan Miguel Marquez. On the first round Mayweather took already the advantage, most of his punch were landed on the face of Marquez that made a cut on his right part of his eyebrow. On the second round Marquez was knockdown on a very strong right upper jab of Mayweather. Marquez realeases so many strong punches that made his opponent cover and stay away from it. However it didn't work out for the counter punch executed by Mayweather until the twelve rounds end. So the final decision was unanimous and given it to Floyd Mayweather. He has already got his 40th win after 21 months of retirement. He said the he misses this kind of atmosphere and most likely the talk of the town might be Shane Mosley and Manny Pacquiao to be his next opponent.

9/11 memories

It's been 8 years already when America bombarded with terrorist attacked. It was on September 11 year 2001 when two Airplanes hit the great Twin Tower in New York and killed almost 3000 innocent people. American together with President Obama commemorates the 9/11 day and one of the highlights of this event is to mention the names of the victims while ringing the bell in giving them due respect and honor. President Obama said that he will not allow again those barbaric acts of Al Qaeda and he will find ways to resolve all of these terrorism activities. It was very sentimental and very dramatic event for the Americans and for those who were involve on the tragic. This is the day to all New Yorkers as what President Obama emphasized since they are greatly affected on the attacks. But then again it was not only addressed only to the Americans but to the whole regions in the world to fight against terrorism and may the 9/11 memories may continue to live until justice is serve.

Aquino's Legacy continues

After the death of former President Cory will Noynoy continues the legacy of his parents in defending the country from any political interest? We all know what does his parents did to free the nations from dictatorship of former President Marcos. Going back to the history Ninoy said to his last speech in America that he shall drop the last blood for the restoration of the Philippine democracy. Then it was realized when Ninoy shot before he landed and returned to his native land. Though it was a tragic and painful especially to the family who left behind. But it is an awakening mode for all Filipinos to fight and stop those abusive works of the government. And the late Cory Aquino continued what her husband started and became the first ever woman president .

These are the moments and highlights why we are having a stable governance today, of course lets owe this one to Ninoy and Cory, they are the icons of democracy . In this coming 2010 election, its time to choose a leader that would unify the two parties from political disputes. A lot of faces reveal from the candidacy but the silent Noynoy was chosen among his countrymen to run for president. It was a big challenge to Noynoy to go for a very big responsibilities. Question since we have already heard him that he is accepting the challenge will he be able to change the view of politics today? Or will he be accepted and be respected from his co politician if ever he will be chosen? The fact is let us give him the chance and Noynoy is just human and sometimes can commit mistakes but as long as he is sincere to serve the nation with trust and loyal then lets give him the way for him to prove it.

Which is better social networking Friendster or Facebook?

This question has already been raised before but I think we need to look at the application inside Friendster as against with facebook. Before I used to have Friendster where I can post my pictures and my profile and create a testimony from loop of friends added to my account. I can also customized my theme in Friendster according to my own choice of colors and images with animations as well. A lot of people really loves something that would express over the internet. But recently we have this what we called Facebook application and why is it become popular today? Prior to this ,lots of applications existed but only two standout and being love by the users namely Friendster before and Facebook just recently. If we compare the two they are just the same both belong to social networking category, both still exists in the internet and both still visited by the users. Some says that Facebook is very corporate and easy to used and lots of applications installed and some says that it is Friendster because of the customize themes. But bottom line is not the two applications count but it shows how people learn and embrace the power of technology.

Choosing the BPO Company that Deserves your Talents

Before applying for a Philippine call center job, it is very important for you to sit down and thoroughly research which employer will certainly fit your job description and is in tuned to your liking.

It will be very degrading on your part to undertake endeavors which you might regret in the end.

It is therefore very important that you take note of these before applying.

Job security and stability. Research carefully the Call Center company that you want to apply to and know its back ground. Check if it is stable and reliable- meaning it could be a big name, a large network and workforce and a stable product / service base. In these times of market uncertainty, it is always best that you choose your company / organization carefully so you’ll not end up in the retrenchment bench in the future. There are many small and medium BPO companies in Philippines today and you do not know how long they are in industry. Look for the employees quantity, the facilities like building and Information Technology equipments. A company that invest so much in the facilities are more likely to stay long.

Your job description counts. It is noteworthy if you’d apply for a position that is your specialization or one that you’re familiar with, in order for you to cope and delegate challenges which you might encounter on the job. If you’re on a job simply because of the money and not for the “essence” of it, will eventually land you failure in the interview, incapacity to cope with the job, boredom or worst you’ll end up getting fired because you’re ineffective with your job.

Know the culture and work environment. Research or ask some if you can, about the company’s work environment and culture. Are your co-workers friendly, hospitable etc. or if the work environment is in you liking. It is very important that you know all these so you’ll prepare in advance how you will deal with the culture and the work environment that you will be working in. Employee squabbles usually end up with resignations and quarrels which is not fruitful for you. Most Filipino workers are friendly because they value their co-workers as family member.

Your future in the company. If you want a company that care about the enhancement of its employees, then look for one that offer enhancing programs such as workshops, seminars and job trainings etc. A company that gives all these certainly cares about the future welfare of its employees. There are some Outbound Telemarketing companies in the Philippines that send its employees abroad for training or orientation with the business products and system.

A well plan selection of the company to work with is not only beneficial in your career growth but also to your family.

Unveiling skills with IT trends

With the help of the latest trend of technologies today, I was able to conceptualize such art that have never been seen before on my early days. It was full of fun and satisfaction in creating a work of art within a very short span of time. It was indeed a greatest achievement and edge towards my developing skills. However most of the factor has to do with modernization. Skills are inborn and the only thing to unveil is to apply all informations that have been dissiminated. Today we are unveiling skills together with technology but bottom line is still we have the control to go or not.

Don't be like a "tarsier".

Owning someone's work is not worth to keep and be proud of. Like what this guy from CDO did to a poor and innocent artist who dedicated more time and effort just to create her very own masterpiece. It's not easy to layout a "tarsier" and it needs skill and extreme talent to made this things possible. So I would rather be empty handed than having a money effortless. Don't be like a "tarsier" who is waiting for someone to feed them or simply means don't wait for someone to work for you on your behalf just to be recognized but instead work by your own and let your passion brings you to fame. ok!

A Life Full of Challenges

It is inevitable for us to encounter many challenges, fears, trials and obstacles in life. People who are wealthy didn’t gain their success not just because they belong to a rich clan but their key to success is hard work. They have to work so much in order to come up with desirable results. They have to face problems, overcome trials and fears and resolve them later after thorough analysis. They have also to accept their failures but never stop finding the way to succeed.

Our life is full of crossroads. These are the choices of decisions that they’re going to make. In making decisions, people should take them seriously. Some decisions are in default. Default decision means deciding in a short period of time without thinking what would be the effect of that decision. Some of us use the “coin tossing habit” in order to have its final decision. Thus, it gives choices and equal chances. It is a game of good luck, but it can cause sometimes disasters.

As the saying goes, “We don’t expect not all the time we are sad. It is not all the time there is peace. It is not all the time there is war. It is not all the time that we get perfect of the tests, etc. But, it is not wrong to keep on trying our best in order to attain our goals, for life has its own equilibrium.”
Just remember the world is round and it will not cease rotating and revolving. For me, life is a mysterious gift that the Omnipotent God has given to us. Life is a passion and a hope to everyone who lives righteously with God.

In making a decision, the best way is through careful yet creative thinking. The decision you’ve made can lead to a good solution. It also produces better results. We should think the effect first before making such a decision. On the other hand, some decisions may cause a lot of troubles. For instance, you are a good guy with a lot of friends and almost no enemy. Your close friends have recruited you to join the fraternity. Their motto is all for one and one for all. Now, the question is, are you going to join or not? If I were you, I would not join because fraternities are a menace to society. They cause so much troubles despite the fact that their motto is all for one and one for all. The fraternities bring bad image to society. They bring chaos wherever they go. If you’re going to join, expect the consequences of your actions. So, in general, some wrong decisions are dangerous and can cause violence or chaotic atmosphere to everybody. Challenges, trials and stumbling blocks thrive along the way. We should think the cause and effect and, at the same time, the pros and cons in making such a decision.

Most of us at present face many challenges. We should not take them for granted. We should face and accept them because life is full of challenges. When we have some problems, we should not lose hope instead we should seek ways to solve them. Some people are afraid to face their problems. It’s a wrong notion! We have to face them as part of our lives. We should be strong and ask God when we have problems. Just remember, problems are trials are made by God. Those trials serve us how strong our faith is. Always remember that in every problem there is a solution. It is not at all times the winner wins or the loser loses, for failure is just a part of one’s life.

Grilled pork

There is nothing quite like the experience of perfectly grilled pork.

In the name of ground pepper, soy sauce, and vinegar, you have the holy trinity of marinades. Then behold the primal simplicity of raw meat embraced by a naked flame. Animal flesh wrinkles and glistens and drips and burns. Little black carcinogenic flecks appear. And thus the essence of the dish becomes complete – it has transformed into a morbid and fatal addiction.

I am proud of this particular prejudice. When it comes to aesthetics, I think grilled pork is flawless. The unpretentious brown of the soil, the pure sheen of a morning dew, the glitter of gold, the dark fluid viscosity of crude oil, and the solid ebony of a moonless night – these are all embodied in this quintessential dish. Sublime would be too harsh an understatement of its beauty.

But then you’d probably be wondering right now where the prejudice is because I am, in effect, describing every grilled mammal meat. So let me explain my particular predilection to the burnt flesh of a swine. The pig is a universal symbol of greed and laziness. George Orwell, in his satirical masterpiece entitled Animal Farm chose the pig as the character to represent the greedy, manipulative and corrupt communist bureaucrat.

The Quran specifically forbids people from eating pork; the Talmud regards pigs as extremely unclean. "A pig is like a moving latrine" and "A pig's mouth is like moving excrement" (Palestinian and Babylonian Talmuds, Berachos 15a and 25a). "Ten measures of plague came into the world, and pigs took nine of them" (Kiddushin 49b).

Being a Catholic, eating the meat of such a despicable creature fascinates me. When the blasphemous meat has been purged by flame and then I painstakingly grind the rubbery flesh with my teeth, I feel an exhilarating sense of righteousness. The guilty pleasure is palpable in every bite; the figurative vileness is keenly savored by the tongue. A whopping nine out of ten plagues is vanquished in every swallow.

It’s a fact; every bite of grilled pork brings you closer to Heaven – but grilling is fortunately Hell’s specialty.
