Some Important Leaders Taking The Giving Pledge

Steve_Jobs_and_Bill_Gates

Bill Gates and Warren Buffet started The Giving Pledge in 2010 in an effort to bring visibility to important issues and to get high profile billionaires to pledge money to help improve the world. The number of people that have signed the pledge to give over half of their money to charity is now over 125. Many of them are household names and arguably their biggest contribution is putting their names on the list.

One symbolic pledger is Ray Dalio. Dalio started the biggest hedge fund in the world, Bridgewater Associates. Dalio is worth an estimated $15 billion. Dalio signed the pledge in 2011. Dalio is a completely self-made success and sits at one of the most visible positions in the finance industry. Dalio is important because hedge funds were often vilified after the crash of 2008. But many hedge fund managers have philanthropic foundations with billions of dollars, Dalio has started to give more and more money to his foundation.

Tim Cook recently joined the ranks of pledgers. What differentiates Cook is not only that he took over for the most important tech entrepreneur of all-time after his tragic passing but his relatively low net worth. At just $800 his net worth is nothing compared to the likes of other pledgers Bill Gates, Warren Buffet and Larry Ellison whose assets sum to more than $150 billion. But Cook is the CEO of Apple and along with entrepreneurs like Ellison and Gates this pledge is an endorsement for philanthropy.

Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook has also taken The Giving Pledge. Zuckerberg is just 30 years old and is worth more than $37 billion dollars. As Facebook continues to add value to users and expand to other countries Zuckerberg stands to be the richest on this list in the future, helping to make the Giving Pledge last across generations. The millennial generation are already staring to show they would rather work for and buy from mission driven companies that seek to do good. The future looks promising!

Getting Medicine in India

india-colors-dr-lopa-gupta


India has one of the largest pharmaceutical industries in the world and supplies low-cost medicine to countries around the world, but it works much differently than in the United States. In 1970, the Indian government stopped honoring patents for food and drugs. With such a large poor population many see this as a necessity to be able to provide inexpensive drugs to those that need them.


After this law was enacted, large companies didn’t see India as a great investment and pulled out, while the Indians mastered the art of reverse-engineering medicines. There is still some innovation in creating new pharmaceuticals but the market for these inexpensive drugs continues to grow quickly.


President Obama recently paid a visit to India and has urged the Indian government to adopt patent intellectual property laws that mirror those of the United States but this may have far-reaching consequences. This would price millions of people in India out of being able to purchase these drugs. Tuberculosis, for example, is a huge problem in developing countries like India and these drugs help combat it. India also sells affordable pharmaceuticals around the world so millions of these people would not be able to afford the drugs they need either.


Medicine Without Borders (MSF) has got involved as well after reading a draft of new intellectual property regulations. The United States has been pressuring the government to adopt more stringent patent protections to spur innovation but MSF contends that more stringent patent protections actually hurt innovation and pointed to numerous studies supporting this.

Amazing, Full Lips With Makeup

Red-Lips-Full-Dr-Lopa-Gupta


If you are thinking about getting plastic surgery but aren’t sure how you might look or how people may react, try making some changes first in your morning makeup routine too see the advantages. With the advent of Youtube, blogs, and social media we have seen some very innovative techniques to improve your look.


One good example that has been shared across the web is Kylie Jenner and her lips. Speculation abounds as to whether or not cosmetic surgery was involved in creating her very natural look. Whether you are a fan or not of the Kardashian clan, one thing for sure is that they are good at looking their best.


Kylie and her older sister, Kim Kardashian West have both said publicly that her lips are simply enhanced by makeup, so whats the trick? An exaggerated lip line if Kim is to be believed, but it may be a little more complicated than that. The truth is there are a number of ways to exaggerate those lips.


First, you need to make sure you are working with smooth lips so you can color them in without flakes. To this you need to exfoliate. Lip scrubs have exfoliants but a popular option is also making a homemade lip scrub. There are plenty of recipes for this across the web.


Next, make your lips look bigger with conditioning lip balm. Look for lip balms with cocoa and shea butter. You can also get a lip treatment to help bring the moisture-look to your lips, this makes them appear fuller.


The next tip is what Kardashian says is the trick those famous selfies of her sister. Grab some lip liner that is a little deeper than your natural color and line outside of your lips. Then, just fill in in the rest of your lips.
