From the page: "Britain's bribery laws are finally set for an overhaul withe Law Commission bringing in a set of proposals that would make Britain's enforcement standards more like the US.

Under the proposals, British companies could be liable for prosecution if they are involved in bribery activity overseas. It will be deemed to be as much an offence if it was perpetrated in Britain.

Another proposal is to bring in a separate offence of bribing a foreign official. Failure to prevent bribery is also an offence. The Law Commission explains: "Under our recommendations, traditional criminal liability should be extended only as far as the creation of an offence of negligently 'failing to prevent' bribery committed by a person performing services on behalf of the organisation in question. This is because we believe, especially where larger organisations operating nation-wide and world-wide are concerned, that it is such failures that are a key factor in the perpetuation of the practice of bribery. This is especially (but not solely) the case when bribery takes place in environments where there is, or is believed to be, a 'culture' of bribe-taking."

From the page: "What if I told you that you could be totally lazy and irresponsible, and still accomplish just as much? What if you could slack off, loiter, and essentially do nothing and get more done than the average person. Itâ€s a bit of an art, but you can master this skill with some practice.

Some of these things may seem like a lot of work up front, but thatâ€s the price you have to pay to lounge around all day."

From the page: "An image is an act of communication. Images play an important role in the presentation of ideas. Worth more than a thousand words, they encapsulate meaning by both simplifying and embodying conceptual theories.They make information more appealing, more persuasive. In the realm of art or activism, images reflect the underlying current of collective feeling by vocalizing both public consensus and private desires.

On the internet, you can see the same popular pictures in websites of every language. Russian, Chinese, French or English. Images transcend linguistic and cultural barriers faced by text. There is no need for machine or human translation. No need for mediation.

Like videos, images can spread very quickly online with little artificial push. Are they inherently more â€viral†than textual content? It is difficult to say with certainty if it indeed has a higher potential for popularity. But images have undeniable value in spreading ideas. Especially when they are elegantly integrated with the use of text to present information"

From the page: "A senior fellow at the Canada West Foundation in Calgary feels that Canada's points based system is failing in one of its fundamental objectives by not necessarily selecting immigrants who would make the greatest contribution to the nation.

Robert Vineberg was quoted in an article in the Vancouver Sun as saying that 'The original points system, introduced in 1967, was linked closely to labour market demand and an immigrant's potential to meet that demand.'

He went on to say that 'the system worked not only because it was simple, but also because the number of people around the world applying at the time roughly equaled Canada's ability to process cases.' However, applications quickly began to outpace the system's ability to process them.

The points system and the pass mark were adjusted in an attempt to control volume, with too much emphasis placed on formal education and training. By 2008, Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) found themselves with a backlog of more than 600,000 cases."

From the page: "t is said that the state of your body, postures and hand gestures can tell a lot about your personality and communicate your thoughts. Employers abide to this as a hard rule while judging candidates for a job. Most employers have had made an opinion about a candidate in first 10-15 minutes or so. That is because only 15% of our communication is through words and the rest happens automatically through our eyebrow movement, hand gestures, our posture and what not. This silent form of wordless communication is known as body language.

What we communicate through body language at times happens without an enforced effort on out part. It just happens on itâ€s own. For instance you wonâ€t believe someone who just said, â€oeI am happy†with a long face and slagging shoulders - you would know its not the case. The other person wanted you to believe he was happy by saying so but you came to know the truth by what he communicated through his body language."
