(RED) – helping to eliminate AIDS in Africa


What is called (RED) TM? Sounds like an emergency but it is a brand created to raise the awareness and money for a Global Fund to treat the people who suffer AIDS in Africa. How actually this happens? You can find more details on it from http://www.joinred.com .

Basically what happens is RED establishes partnership with private companies to promote their products under RED and partners send a portion of their profit to that Global fund. Normally the products under RED are also colored in red (I think it reminds the user about what he has done to the society). Here are some of the partners on RED,

American Express (UK only)
Gap
Motorola
Emporio Armani
Apple
Converse
Hallmark
Dell
Microsoft

The products under RED are not cost more to the customer. I think this is what needs to do for help people in Africa (who suffer AIDS). And also I think it is like a red light on our lives when thinking about AIDS.

Anyway I do not have an experience with an (product) RED so I hope you will share your thought with me regarding this.

Google API v3 with PHP using Blogger service

It was really hard for me to understand how the Google APIs are working at the first point and took few days for me to figure out. But after a successful working prototype it seems very easy. And also when I am searching for a simple example I was unable to find a good one that I can understand. So let me list down step by step what I have done with URLs and as simple as I can.

My two cents on new year resolution

What is the plan for the new year ? - need to think on what are we trying achieve during next year 2018 - basically the life goals - may be personal or professional - and also it should be realistic (not something like going to Mars ;)) Why we need a plan for the new year ? - basically a goal without a plan is a DREAM - And also should be able to measure (what you cannot measure, you cannot manage) How to prepare a new Year resolution/plan ? - Leave some buffer time - Make changes during the year (life is changing/evolving) - Plan is only for you (do not share it) - When a milestone is achieved, celebrate - Try to stick to the plan - otherwise no point of planing

Assets and Liabilities as Rich Dad, Poor Dad explains

I was reading "The rich dad poor dad by Robert Kiyosaki" here is a one point that he mentions on that. Basically Asset as he says is little bit different than on books. If something puts money in your pocket it is a asset. And Liabilities are the ones that takes money out of your pocket. OK for example a house or a car may seems like an Asset but it takes money out of you pocket to maintain them. But if you rent them or make them to make money at the end of the day you can convert it to a asset. Basically that what rich people do. They buy assets. Middle class buy liabilities (thinking those are assets) and stuff (a lot of them that not used or that not needed). Lower class buy to consume (basic needs like foods).
