Is Silicon Valley Over-charging for the Products They Produce?
Erupting from the mind are often debates of challenges and issues plaguing mankind. Caught up in the sound and fury you can hear folks get worked up, by the mass media hysteria as they spar with jaded opinions jousting one another. Of course at the Online Think Tank cooler heads prevail and indeed the topics are highly intellectual spanning subjects in nearly every domain.Recently the topic came up with regards to patent piracy of Computer Software an

Does Your Marketing Information Help You To Sell?
Marketing information does need to tell all about the features of the product or service that you sell. One important factor that many business owners forget about when they write this material is that they have to make it very enticing to the customer. The marketing material has to convince them to buy by pointing out all the reasons why they cannot live without whatever it is that you sell. This is a major aspect of your marketing plan that you must includ

Anytime your nonprofit receives positive media attention, its simply human nature to want to share this information with target audiences via your website (and every other communications channel). But beware, in this day and age of easy access to information, including news coverage, it's all too easy to forget copyright and permissions conventions.

Due to the plethora of online publications so easy to cut-and-paste, these issues are more important than ever before. There is no universal approach to permissions on the part of print and online publications. The only absolute is that you should always ask for permission, whether you plan to reproduce content in hard copy or online.

The issue is what's called "fair use." Frequently, publishers will allow nonprofits to use articles at no cost and don't require permission. However, others require a fee. In many cases, once a nonprofit requests reprint permission, and clarifies how it plans to use the reprint or online reproduction of an article, the fee will be waived. But you have to ask.

Asking will get you more than the answer you need. Your request helps the publisher understand which articles are of greatest interest to its readers and why. That's the kind of information we all appreciate.

To give you an idea of the range of permissions policies, I've excerpted a couple here:

Accountability and Mega Projects
The past few years have seen an increase in the number of petroleum mega projects being proposed and executed. Record oil prices have given rise to increasingly ambitious and complex international alliances in the energy industry. These large, long term and capital intensive projects carry a great deal of cost and schedule risk which is very challenging to mitigate. We have found that some of this risk can be managed through an emphasis on accountability at

Just Do it - Jump-Start Your Career
Just Do It! Just Take Your Career Step…Everyone admires those who can just do it. That’s why the Nike ads were so successful--they resonated with people.

We blame our parents, ourselves, the job market. We complain about all those things we still haven’t done and yet we postpone taking actio

Used Cubicles
Cubicles provide a professional touch, independence and uniqueness in offices. People could carry out their job peacefully without losing concentration. The basic purpose of cubicles is to reduce noise by checking the chatting behavior of the employees. The employees cannot get separate offices because it will not only be costly, but also occupy a big area. The cubicle, invented in the 1960s, is the right solution for these problems. Used cubicles can be bo

Save yourself the risk. Make it a standard policy to ask for permission to reprint an article about your organization. At worst, you'll be asked to pay a fee and will then decide whether reprinting the article is worth that cost. At best, the fee will be waived and you'll have reinforced a good relationship with that publisher.
