    20 Ways to Get and Stay Happy - Health and Happiness - TIME

    Quoted: We are unique creatures in that we can mentally simulate situations by remembering the past and visualizing the future. We can also play a hand at perhaps creating the future — at least in terms of preparing our emotional state for what may come. It's a valuable tool and one that can lead to happiness when applied to specific goals. There is much research behind visualization and emotional changes, as it has been shown that positive thoughts have an impact on the brain's biochemistry.

    I'm going to try to incorporate these tips more in my life. Everyone should try! I especially like the tip, "Make more money than your peers"...hehe.

    Global health | The side-effects of doing good | Economist.com

    Fantastic article. While I believe that WHO does a phenomenal job in maintaining a high level of public health standards for all nations, let's face it...it's still a bureaucracy. We know bureaucracies are mostly slow, and for the large part inefficient since there are no "market solutions". But with a NGO structured like the Gates Foundation (more a for-profit business model than the typical NGO), it is driven by the market...there is a supply and demand for better health systems, addressing public health concerns, and cutting edge research.

    While the Gates Foundation may appear monopolistic, in the sector of non-profits, I think it encourages more, generous philanthropy and competition -- isn't that better for non-profits in the end? After all, one of the biggest downfalls of non-profits, and reasons why many of them wither away is that they are bad managers of monetary and human resources, thereby making them less efficient.

    Quoted: The audacity of the Gates Foundation may have unintended consequences, but things would be worse if UN bureaucracies still dominated the field

    ABC News: How Much Is Your Daughter Worth?

    How awful and completely unacceptable!!! Ahh...I can't believe my country still does this. I hope this government intervention works...But the foundation of the problem isn't being dealt with, and that is: girls are valued less compared to boys. Unless we aim to change negative social stigma about the value of women, that they are more than just a way of lessening burden once married off, we can't just pay people off. This is ridiculous. We need to redirect focus on educating women, and educating the public against things like dowries and required domesticities of women (especially in the rural areas).

    Quoted: By the time you finish reading this story, 10 more female fetuses in India will have been aborted. Aborted by a medical profession that profits ...
