Anti Corruption and Bribery Acts to bring in VALUES & ETHICS, by force!

The James Bond movies and the STAINED image of NUCLEAR POWER!
Blame it on baddies from the James Bond movies, if nuclear reactors carry only the bad reputation of nothing but the source of MASSIVE DESTRUCTION.
Prof. David Phillips (President, the Royal Society of Chemistry) it seems is not happy how the James Bond movies have brought NUCLEAR ENERGY in a bad light that people get an anxious feeling when they think of harmful RADIATIONS associated with it. My friend Jacob (Flash Organisation) and I are eagerly waiting for “Skyfall”, the James Bond movie. Yes! As usual, we won’t forget to keep our ‘BRAINY-HEADS’ at home while watching it. (Laugh!)

“Gossip is the Devil’s radio…”
We all love gossip! It is like, most of us enjoy it to the full, and can talk at length about the other person (without any fact or information); and Ha! here is the big question – what if you are the ‘victim of any gossip’?

It is like, business units are more concerned in what NEW (today) they could get to hear ‘bad’ about their competitors; healthy competition in business is rare, as not many practice it…! One fine day, while having a chat with Spencer Green over a cup of tea, we came across few comments written by people (about a company) in one of social networking sites – mostly, it were bad comments! We were surprised (would say, SHOCKED) to read those comments about that company, and thought, how people can write so, without any fact or information; people/companies are good at doing this to their competitors, and I wonder, why (?)…! Let us practice ‘positive’ criticism! (more…)

That being said celebrity reputation has the dual ability to have even a bad rep take on a life of its own and create a never before buzz and catapult a career to the next level. Reputation management consultants even come out with reputation rankings for celebrities to showcase where and what they can do to change their online reputation rating. (more…)
