The state government of Kerala has become the first to reserve a government job for HIV-positive candidates. Being an HIV-positive doesn't necessarily means one has AIDS. It only is an indication of their vulnerability.
The Kerala State AIDS Control Society (KSACS) has invited applications from the graduate candidates suffering from the disease for the post of coordinator with the organisation.
The candidate should have three years of experience working with HIV related matters.

Omega-3 capsules: Better alternative to eating fish
It is now a well established fact that Omega-3 fatty acids are so useful to maintain a good health. They are more useful when we grow older. The fish oil is the best source of these fatty acids. But the quantity available in most of the varieties of fish in India is very miniscule. Also, not many people eat nor all can afford to eat fish on a regular basis.
Quality also matters
Apart from quantity, the quality of Omega-3 also matters much. It has been found through detailed research that the oils derived from Salmon fish is the best one compared to any other source.
Salmon fish are only to be found in the Antarctica region as they need sub-zero temperatures to survive. They live in minus 40 degree and below temperatures. The Nutrilite brand of Amway corporation has built fish farms where temperatures are maintained at such levels.
Convenient capsules
Nutrilite Salmon Omega-3 oils are available in convenient capsules and are priced reasonably. Its available only through the network of Amway distributors. You may find one near you for supplies. Better still, consider becoming a distributor yourself.
You may call snehilji@gmail for more details.

Omega-3 helps prevent age-related blindness
People afraid of a poor eye-sight in their old age should consider taking Omega-3, regularly. A new study has found Omega-3 fatty acids reduced risk of AMD, the most common cause of blindness.
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD)
European researchers report that eating oily fish at least once a week may cut the risk of a condition called age-related macular degeneration (AMD). This is the major cause of blindness and poor vision in old age.
Age-related macular degeneration is of two types, wet AMD and dry AMD. The dry form is more common and can progress to wet AMD later on.
In dry AMD light-sensitive cells in the macula break down in a slow manner eventually leading to complete loss of central vision. In wet AMD abnormal blood vessels behind the retina penetrate the macula and sometimes leak blood and other fluid damaging the macula.
Greater risk to women
Women appear to be at an increased risk for AMD. Additional risk factors include family history, smoking and obesity. Researchers from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) and their colleagues in seven European countries analyzed the association between fish intake and omega 3 fatty acids in wet AMD.
They found eating oily fish at least once a week reduced the risk of wet AMD by 50 percent. Participants were asked about their intake of omega 3 fatty acids like docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA).
Furthermore people who ate more than 300 mg of DHA and EPA had a 70 percent lower risk of developing wet AMD.
Major cause of blindness
Age-Related Macular Degeneration or AMD is the leading cause of blindness in people aged over 55. Although the condition is diagnosed quite early, there is no clue if it will progress to vision loss.
Age-related macular degeneration usually affects elderly people. The disease is painless and is linked to loss of central vision because of damage to a part of the eye called macula. The macula is important in distinguishing finer details of vision.
