Posted on 2008-02-26 20:40:16

In my on this blog. I wrote about the GST discount and how HomeBuyers can take advantage of the benefit of the ‘transitional discount’. come up here we are again with another 1% reduction in the GST. In case you had not yet heard the news the GST will be reduced yet again from 6% to 5% and no matter how you feel about the reduction (and we know everybody has an opinion) what this means for the average HomeBuyer is a reduction in the be the whole purchase transaction will cost. In a recent article the president of the Canadian domiciliate Builders Association is quoted as saying. “This is great news for both domiciliate buyers and home owners.” Speaking strictly from a HomeBuying perspective. I have to agree. In addition to the lower tax the actual home purchase attracts there is the additional bonus that the appliances and fixtures and everything else that is newly purchased will be at the lower overall rate. You can create by mental act my surprise as I scoured the various news sources looking for more opinions in this matter when I came across the article written by prominent real estate lawyer. Bob Aaron. Builders are apparently trying to remove the acquire of the rebate from unsuspecting HomeBuyers. I have not heard of anything like this first-hand and I certainly hope I never do. I will repeat the offending language here and hopefully if you are considering buying from a builder you will be warn to it: 'Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement of Purchase and Sale the Purchaser and Vendor agree that the acquire of any reduction or rebate of GST that resulted from the May 2006 or any subsequent Federal Budget shall be the property of the Vendor and the Purchaser shall execute any further documents required by the Vendor to effect the foregoing.'" The key words here are "shall be the property of the Vendor," and in the story detailed the unfortunate purchasers or buyers had agreed to this arrangement leaving them unable to avoid this confine without losing their investment. Try not to become a victim. Do not sign anything without reading it very carefully. When you bring documents to your lawyer you should alert them to this potential risk so that as many pairs of eyes as possible are looking out for this language or anything like it. Finally if you do go across this kind of wording. I would declare moving on and finding another builder. There are enough builders operating with integrity that you should not feel obligated to put yourself in the hands of an unethical affiliate. If you have a first-hand experience that you would like to share gratify feel free to contact me directly. This kind of anti-consumer manipulation is exactly what frustrates us all about the industry. Rachel Loizos is an associate lawyer at in Toronto. She practices in the area of real estate law.

"The Reputation Doctor Says Unethical Supply Chains Put Global ..." posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-21 06:22:30

According to Integrity Interactive(R) Corporation a company that helps leading global corporations build ethical cultures that decrease risk recently announced the results of a September 2007 analyse of 108 Global 2000 companies which shows corporate ethics and compliance programs and controls do not extend to their global supply chains. The survey found that 78 percent of companies do not include suppliers in their affiliate compliance and ethics programs and nearly 58 percent were not sure if their company regularly assessed ethics risks in the supply chain the network of companies that collaborates to deliver a product or service to customers. Many corporations around the world are unaware of how effective supply chain ethics and compliance programs can help them avoid costly recalls and mark damage that results from a supply chain ethics scandal. Supplier ethics management (SEM) is a relatively new business learn that enables companies to manage their suppliers and supply relationships through strategies programs and metrics that better reorient supplier business conduct with purchaser standards. The goal is to reduce a purchasing company's overall risk of corporate integrity failure in the supply chain by aligning supplier conduct with purchaser standards in three major areas of corporate integrity: compliance ethics and corporate responsibility. In the global economy most companies source much of their manufacturing to a network of external suppliers. While many large U. S companies have implemented some degree of ethics and compliance programs and training the survey indicates that a great majority of Global 2000 companies undergo not extended these programs and practices to their supply chain. This is a significant risk to the financial health and reputation of these companies and to their customers. In addition to the troubling absence of ethics and compliance programs for the give chain the survey also open information that points to other areas of significant assay: -- 88 percent of respondents do not maintain a Web-based portal for suppliers-- 78 percent of respondents do not include suppliers in their company's label of Conduct-- 58 percent of respondents don't regularly assess compliance risk in their give chain-- 56 percent of respondent companies do not analyse supplier compliance with Code standards In recent weeks. U. S consumers have seen a series of stories about tainted food lead paint in toys and other disturbing developments. All of.

"Riverfront Review unethical" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-12 21:42:08

When I first grabbed a copy of The Riverfront analyse. I figured it would be a conservative version of The turn Side but with a stronger emphasis on political debates on contemporary national and world issues. I was enjoying the concept because I do get egest of reading the same viewpoint over and over from different people. What I didn't experience however was that by its second issue. The Review would disunite apart any standards of journalism ethics it claimed to defend and hold. As a journalist - not as any choose of official voice for The Spectator - that is the biggest problem I see with the analyse. drop about the paper's politics for a second regardless of what you believe or which side of the political spectrum you lean toward. It doesn't matter if you're liberal or conservative - a breach in ethics is do by no matter what side of the close in you're on. Journalism study or not a lot of the mistakes should be common comprehend to the average person. When deciding to make a newspaper or entering the crowd media marketplace of ideas a assort should have a clear definition of its purpose some sort of standard operating procedure to open credibility and a way to give a communicate in a manner that will keep populate interested in what that assort has to say. Unfortunately. I saw none of these things when paging through The Review and it could affect how people believe the overall credibility of other campus media outlets. People ordain see the alter The analyse has done to journalism ethics and may think that's how all newspapers operate which is about as far from the truth as you can get. First off taking news articles from another newspaper or news network without permission and putting it in another publication is universally illegal even if you re-word some of the article and keep the original quotes. Not only is it illegal but it's plagiarism and is incredibly unethical. And even then the analyse shouldn't undergo used Fox News if it's claiming to hold itself to a high standard of journalism ethics. Of all the news networks the Review chose the one that touts itself as a conservative source of media. Suffice to say that doesn't really help their objective cause. The only reason The Spectator uses news wire stories is because it pays for the rights to use the articles and pictures along with them. Even though it's limited in its find to certain stories and newspapers. The Spectator cannot just go to the Washington affix's Web place and re-print one of its articles not found on the equip function because it's unethical and The Spectator doesn't have the money for a lawsuit. In the future if the Review still strives to change state a credible news source while wishing to re-print a wire story it should sight a way to legally to create that bind.

"Drug Companies and Unethical Behavior" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-04 01:29:21

I'm not a adulterate and can't say that prescription drugs should never be taken. It seems that prescription drugs are needed sometimes when a person's instruct has gotten beyond a certain harmful point. However my belief is that if more people were focused and educated on the preventive power of natural vitamins and supplements proper stress management and alternative medicines then their conditions would never change state so dangerous that drugs were needed. Part of the education needed by more populate is the extent of corruption and unethical behavior that medicate companies will go to in order to move a profit. When you investigate this area it becomes apparent quite quickly that the aim in this industry has nothing to do with making sure you're healthy and happy. Quite the contrary. Consider a quote from a story about the drug Avastin which is manufactured by Genentech that I found at newstarget com: "The medicate cashes in at over $4,000 a month for just one prescription... As it turns out the drug is only marginally better than taking nothing at all. change surface with Genentech's own medicate trials.. the overall response rate to the drug was barely higher than the control group. In the control assort. 35% responded. In the Avastin assort the response evaluate was 45%. "And what does that 'response' buy a patient? Does it reverse the colon cancer? Does it buy them a lifetime of quality living without cancer? Hardly... They live five months longer than the control assort. "And during these five months they get to look forward to an alarming enumerate of align effects like diarrhea high blood compel suppressed immune answer mouth sores impaired wound healing bleeding from the lungs and even the formation of holes in the colon. All of which coincidentally require more prescription drugs of course. "This is a miracle medicate? This is worth $4,000 a month? From where I sit this is nothing more than yet another example of the remarkable degree of corruption and influence of Western care for. "If you really take a look at what's going on here it's nothing less than a monumental cheat: The FDA approves a new 'wonder' drug the national press heralds it as a breakthrough drug companies push it to doctors and doctors routinely prescribe it to patients regardless of the cost. "That hardly seems to be to medicate companies. As long as the profits continue to move the fact that patients could do much better on raw broccoli juice is something they'd rather not communicate about."

""unethical journalists"" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-25 18:45:09

That's the best way to describe what In Touch magazine has done. This weeks adjoin ( not going to bother to post it) has a conceive of of what they say is Zahara Jolie Pitt's "bring forth" mother. The story states that Angelina Jolie might lose her daughter (hello it's fasten Pitt's daughter as come up....) because her birth family wants her back. Now being a fan of Angelina's since 2005 I can say this story doesn't really surprise me. There was already a story published by an equally amoral publication in the UK about Zahara's family wanting her back or at least claiming a blood connection. Like that last bit of yellow journalism this story has also been proven false. Tsegaye Berhe the head of Wide Horizons for Children spoke to Reuters on Thursday and said the adoption was legal and the family has no affirm on this child. "The act in Addis Ababa approved the adoption after studying the enter her grandmother wrote … saying her daughter the mother of Zahara had died and she was too poor to bring her up. The grandmother brought three witnesses to court who testified that Zahara's mother had died and that her create was unknown … The court also investigated the social status of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt before approving the adoption."In addition to that Berhe had this to say about the story: "The controversy is media hype by unethical journalists exploiting the poverty of the grandmother."Although I'm become use to seeing tabloid rags up and down my supermarket of Angelina and her family filled with out there stories and nasty accusations this story has turned my stomach. What has happened to ethics? What about Zahara? How will this child feel when she is old enough to understand these things and reads that nasty "journalists" prayed upon her poor relatives just to make a buck themselves. Exploited them just to make her current life and the life of her parents miserable? I know it's a lot to ask tabloid journalists to have ethics but I can't back up it. This write of reporting is beyond disgusting. Hopefully someone ordain be punished for this. And hopefully the public will wake up and forbid buying these magazines. Maybe then the cycle of shoddy journalism will end.
