Mold is a serious problem, not only in homes, but also in the places where we work. Employers and landlords should take special care to make sure their properties are not infested with mold and they should do this not only because the value of their property will decrease as the infestation spreads. Also because anyone working or living in the property will suffer adverse health effects. All kinds of medical conditions can be attributed to mold: development of asthma, ... more...

I just returned from the Jewelers\' Circular Keystone (JCK) Show, the largest, most important jewelry trade event in the US. Apart from those who sought me out because of my press release, not one jeweler who walked by my booth even raised the issue of my banner which screamed out: FAIR TRADE, ECO FRIENDLY JEWELRY NOW. Typical, I think, was my conversation with a buyer who was a \"major player.\" Her company is a house hold name. I asked one if she was interested Fair ... more...

\"The death of one man is a tragedy. The death of millions is a statistic.\" - Joseph Stalin \"We\'ve dodged the bullet,\" is the consensus opinion of the Jewelers Vigilance Committee, according to Frank Dallahan. \"A job well done,\" though, as the title of the opinion piece suggests, \"The Gun Is Still Pointed at Us\" by \"arrogant\" NGOs. Blood Diamonds got mediocre reviews and was not widely seen and has had no real effect on diamond... more...

With all the fuss kicked up about SPAM and junk emails today, online marketing today has become a sensitive and important issue in establishing a client base for any business owner and marketing companies. Interestingly enough, while the days of mass mail-outs are still not over, there is really nothing different about the way both modes of mass market advertising operate. It is not the deluge of information that has the consumer worried - rather, it is the unethical and dishonest practices of... more...

One of the greatest fallacies pervading in the middle and low classes is the assumption that wealthy people have done something illegal or immoral or both to get the wealth that they possess. On the contrary. In general, rich people have found a way to create so much value for other people that other people are willing to give there money to the rich people for what ever service or commodity the rich people provide. If you truly want to be rich then you need to find a way to create a... more...

I work with a flash game development company. Recently we have made a few business deals, and are now venturing into previously uncharted territory for us, thank you gifts/notes. What, If anything is customary? We also had a contact that helped arrange the deals in the first place. What would be appropriate for him? The gifts are for two different groups. One who we recently signed a contract with, and one who helped us get said contract in the first place. Would it be appropriate to give them t... more...

A leprechaun frolicked from under the magnificent rainbow that caressed the once heavily laden rain soaked valley. A pot of gold lay beneath his feet and a smile paraded from his lips as a man tried with all of his might to catch the lively elf. His pursuit was quickly thwarted with the disappearance of the green man and the gold he guarded. So many people are easy targets to con artists who prey upon good and honest people. Victims are hard working people who toil and slave to build ... more...

The California State Legislature has declared that advances in the science and technology have led to the development of new devices and techniques for the purpose of eavesdropping upon private communications and that the invasion of privacy resulting from the continual and increase use of such devices and techniques has created a serious threat to the free exercise of personal liberties and cannot be tolerated in a free and civilized society. The legislature intends to protect the right of pri... more...

Business ethics is not a novel idea. Its just that its one of those things that we conveniently forget when faced with tough choices. But since the Enron and WorldCom scandals of 2002, more and more people in the business world are paying attention to this oft-neglected aspect of business. Especially now with the global marketplace in full swing. Competition is cutthroat, but this does not mean that we should forget about what we have learned in international business ethics.
