  The Lego Group had a very humble beginning in the workshop of Ole Kirk Christiansen, a carpenter from Denmark. Christiansen began creating wooden toys in 1932. Two years later, he came up with the name Lego by putting together the first two letters of the Danish words Leg and Godt, which mean “play well.” The name could be interpreted as “I put together” in Latin; it is also similar to the Greek verb meaning “gather” or “pick up.”  

  In 1947, the company expanded to making plastic toys. At first, the use of plastic for toy production was not highly regarded by businessmen and consumers of the time. Many of the Lego Group’s shipments were returned, following poor sales. However, Christiansen’s son, Godtfred Kirk Christiansen, saw the great potential in Lego bricks to become a system for creative play. As the junior managing director of the Lego Group, he spent years trying to improve the “locking” ability of the bricks and made the bricks more flexible. In 1958, the modern interlocking(连锁) brick design was finally developed and patented. 

  Today Lego is sold in more than 130 countries. Every minute 33,824 Lego bricks are made, and kids around the world spend 5 billion hours a year playing with Lego. There will be more than 400 million people playing with Lego bricks this year. On average, every person in the world owns 62 Lego bricks, and about seven Lego sets are sold every second.

This year Lego fans all over the world are celebrating the 50th anniversary of the tiny building blocks. Though already 50 years old, Lego is still the same product it was in the 1950s. Bricks bought then can still match current bricks and that is probably the reason the toy has never fallen out of favor.

  About 6,000doctors in the Philippines are studying to become nurses so they can find higher-paying jobs abroad, Health Secretary Francisco Duque says.

  This was up from 2,000 doctors who studied to become nurses last year, Duque said.

  The exodus of doctors and nurses had created a “threatening situation for our health care system” and a task force had been established to examine the potential impact, he said.

  The team was working on a bill which would require doctors to practice in the Philippines for at least three to four years before they were able to work abroad.

  “I think the problem really is the migration of doctors. We have so many nurses now, more than enough to fill up(vacancies). But our doctors are leaving,” Duque said.

   A study by the University of the Philippines had found that between 2000to 2003 more than 50,000 Filipino nurses went abroad to work. A doctor working in a government hospital in the Philippines earns only about 25,000 pesos(446 dollars) a month. A  doctor could earn around 8,000dollars a month while working as a nurse overseas. Even lawyers, accountants and engineers are enrolling to brain as nurses.

   Filipino nurses are in demand in Europe, the United States, the Middle East and even closer to home, such as in Singapore and Japan.

   However, Health officials have warned the country faces a “medical apocalypse” if it continues to lose its health professionals to jobs abroad.
