What if you could fill up your car's gas tank with fuel you made at home from food scraps, old newspaper and the remains of last night's Cabernet? That's the idea behind E-Fuel, a 25-employee Silicon Valley startup that recently started selling a small-scale ethanol production system for turning household compost into high-octane homebrew. Such compost is abundant: Americans throw away some 30 million tons of food scraps each year. E-Fuel is the brainchild of Thomas Quinn, a former president of the networking giant Novell (NOVL), whose last company, Gyration, developed and patented the motion controller for the Nintendo Wii.

Yesterday, everybody smoked his last cigar, took his last drink and swore his last oath. Today, we are a pious and exemplary community. Thirty days from now, we shall have cast our reformation to the winds and gone to cutting our ancient shortcomings considerably shorter than ever. From the bottom of my heart I wish each one of my frnds,.....a wonderful year ahead........

 Company's marketing network is worth!
Jaygopal Raghavan  |  Argues in support of  "Company's marketing network is worth!"  |  1 year ago
I support the latter because exhibitions by itself cannot get the desired results for an organisation. It is a media mix that would do the trick. How many of the visitors in an exhibition even if it is a trade show are serious visitors. Not many....

yes, i fully agree with Ekta Dutta. Apart from this Banks should also think of paying salaries based on performances and it should be left to individual banks rather settlements at industry level to retain the talented lot
A. Krishna Murthy  |  Added idea  "Deal with genuine coustomers only"  |  1 year ago
The banks services are misused by the influenced/affluent. The banks should service the genuine/needy costomers , instead of the influenced/affluent

The best mode of teaching for all levels is by elearning. Students learn technology and there is no need of teachers or class room discipline issues.

Every position has certain requirements by way of skill sets and experience. Not following these will generate risk. So, while it may be attractive to hire young blood with fresh new ideas and knowledge, experience should also be looked in to.
