Ask and you shall receive! Last week a reader wrote in with questions about ghostwriting, and here we have a guest post from Laura Cross on that very subject! It’s estimated that more than 80% of published books are ghostwritten. That’s a lot of books in need of ghostwriters.

Breaking Into the Lucrative Book Ghostwriting Business
At ” Networked, Interoperable, Secure National Medical Records a Castle in the Sky? ” I wrote that the holy grail of electronic medical record efforts – the creation of a networked, interoperable, secure national medical records system – may be far more difficult than anyone expected due to vulnerabilities in current, widespread IT networking and OS platforms. Now we hear the situation is even worse than in the articles I cited at that post: Wall Street Journal Feb

An employment tribunal has held that employees should be allowed to carry over annual leave entitlement to the next year when they have been too ill to take it. This is the first employment tribunal to look at paid holiday and sick leave since two major decisions from the European Court of Justice were given on the issue last year , Pereda v Madrid Movilidad and Stringer v HMRC

It has recently been revealed that a serial litigant is believed to have earned thousand of pounds by submitting age discrimination claims against companies who placed advertisements using the words school leaver or recent graduate. The serial litigant did not apply for the jobs he simply submitted his claim online and then contacted the companies requesting a settlement from them in return for him withdrawing his claim and dealing with closing formalities.
FTC 2/17/2010 Press Release: Scams Prey on Victims of the Recession With Bogus Job, Money-Making Schemes The Federal Trade Commission today announced a new crackdown on con artists who are preying on unemployed Americans with job-placement and work-at-home scams, promoting empty promises that they can help people get jobs in the federal government, as movie extras, or as mystery shoppers; or make money working from their homes stuffing envelopes or assembling ornaments. FTC Warning About Job Scams: With the U.S. unemployment rate just under 10 percent, the FTC is redoubling its efforts to put a stop to these schemes, which make life even more difficult for hundreds of thousands of Americans already wrestling with the economic downturn.

The San Francisco Chronicle recently reported how students at the University of California have been providing a satirical approach to the problems of the university’s leadership: It’s been a seriously dramatic year at the University of California, where hundreds of students seized buildings, demonstrated and shut down regents meetings last fall to protest rising tuition and the perceived privatization of the public school. It’s also been a satirically dramatic year, thanks to the UC Movement for Efficient Privatization, a fledgling group of mostly grad students in business attire that uses humor tinged with sarcasm to lampoon UC officials. Their own name is an example.

If you’re working on an online business, talking to a start-up founder who has tried, and failed, is an education goldmine. Experience is the greatest teacher, and it’s not often you get that kind of business lesson for free, but today is your lucky day. I give you Jamie Quint ( his blog here ), who founded the now defunct college recruiting site SnapTalent.com .

I was interested to read recently that the Business Software Alliance (BSA) offers rewards of up to 10,000 to whistleblowers who report their employers use of illegally copied or under-licensed IT software. Last year the BSA received 420 reports from whistleblowers. Disgruntled IT staff are a common source of BSA whistleblowers, including those who have been denied pay rises or made redundant during the recession. The BSA operates a strict confidentiality policy, meaning that whistleblowers are guaranteed anonymity and the whistleblower is not obliged to report the alleged wrongdoing to the employer first. However, due to loopholes in the Public Interest Disclosure Act regime, a whistleblower may well lose the wider protection it affords against detriment and dismissal if they do not report the problem to the employer first. According to the BSA, which is funded by technology companies including Microsoft, Adobe, McAfee, IBM and Siemens, an estimated 1.5bn per year is lost from illegal copying, sharing or distribution of business software in the UK alone. Small to medium sized businesses are the worst culprits; they often do not really appreciate that when they purchase business software, they are not buying the software as such, they are actually buying one or more licenses to use that software. A business which under-represents the number of users that it has will be guilty of illegal under-licensing. In 2008, the BSA recovered around 2m in payments from companies caught illegally using software. Do you think the BSA should offer financial incentives to whistleblowers in this manner

I have been thinking more and more about how businesses can be more socially conscious. Business was wildly successful for me last year, but I do believe that money does not cause happiness. Don’t get me wrong, I am truly grateful for all of my customers and am thoroughly enjoying jewelry making. There was a big lull in January and I started to think, is this it? Work, make money, take a break, work more? I wasn’t feeling very inspired by this thought. I started really thinking about a common truth that we often ignore, money does not create happiness. Although, I do believe that giving to others does. ~Being socially aware and trying to better the world and your community is motivating, inspirational & energizing.~ Donations to Haiti With that said, I have become re-inspired through some new projects that I am working on! I have recently donated over $100 to Fonkoze in Haiti through the sales of my Radial Copper Tree Pendant
