In this day and age, it’s hard to know who can be trusted, and what the truth really is. With so many kinds of scams and cons and manipulative people out there, many people find themselves on the losing end of a relationship – business or a personal one. More often than not, many victims carry the scars for the rest of their life, in addition to the material financial losses they sustain.

It’s unfortunate that a lot of people tend to dismiss these things and underestimate the chances of such a thing happening to them. So they continue with their lives, unmindful of the risks they face. Lots of times though, it is these people who find themselves in situations they always said they’d never be caught dead in.

Especially for expatriates who are trying to make a life for themselves in a foreign land like here in Thailand, knowing who to trust is difficult. Foreigners stand out – both physically and financially, and are ripe targets for people who know the ins and outs better than they do. This is not to say though, that all help you receive when you are a foreigner in Thailand is suspect, but it is undeniable that many unscrupulous individuals consider expatriates to be easier and juicier targets, and with good reason.

However, there are several institutions and organizations that one can approach for discreet problem solving services – again, both for personal or business purposes. One of these is Thailand Private Investigations, a private investigation agency that operates in Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Pattaya and other areas in Thailand.

Headed by a very capable Managing Director in the person of Michel Mauquoi, who is a former police investigator from Belgium, the organization is responsible for what is probably the most number of solved private investigation cases in Thailand. With Mr. Mauquoi’s extensive experience in the grittier and more intense investigations in the police force, he uses his vast array of skills and knowledge through being personally involved in all of the cases Thailand Private Investigations handles.

“We pride ourselves in offering high-quality personal services to our clients. Many people come to us not only because of our experience in the field, but also because of our reputation for being one of the most discreet PI agencies here,” Mauquoi says. The veteran investigator reveals that almost all of the clients his agency has handled always had their privacy as their top priority,

“Sometimes it feels that many of these people would rather the case remains unsolved rather than expose themselves to public scrutiny and embarrassment from the people who know them,” relates Mauquoi. “It’s a good thing for them that we are both capable of solving cases effectively while preserving their privacy as well.”

Private investigations are never easy, but the folks at Thailand Private Investigation make it seem so easy. But that’s what years of experience and accumulated knowledge do to you.

A one-of-a-kind Mind Science workshop promises to show Singaporeans how to fast-track to their dream lifestyle, despite the aftermath of the country’s worst possible recession in 2009. On 2nd October 2010, global thought leader Dr. Pillai is set to empower people with his revolutionary teachings on using secret sounds to manifest desires and attract financial abundance in the ‘1-Day Manifestation Intensive’ organized by PillaiCenter for Mind Science at Trader’s Hotel.

“You will be able to understand the dynamics of how creation starts from within you. You are responsible, for you are creating prosperity or poverty through your own thought form. You will learn practical techniques to create particle thought – a powerful thought which alone manifests into 3-dimensional reality”, explains Dr. Pillai, a US-based scholar-mystic who has been hailed by Time magazine as the ‘YouTube Guru’.

But, does this work? Past Mind Science participants have reasons to be happy. Shakti, a manager with an aesthetics company, tells, “The wonderful techniques have ensured a 180 degree change in my life…The opportunities have been just flowing in non-stop. I, now, can show my daughters what a woman can achieve”. Heather, a jewelry designer, shares, “For me, it has set the ball rolling on a financially successful business. I believe the sounds are helping to make that connection for me and the customers. It’s all suddenly happening so fast”.

While leading Japanese researcher Masaru Emoto successfully demonstrated the impact of sounds on water crystals, Dr. Pillai seems to have pushed the frontiers by bringing the application of sounds in the practical domain for creating material reality. “Mind and matter are related, the connecting link are sound waves. I will teach how from sound you create mind and from mind you create matter”, he reveals.

The full-day Mind Science seminar is based on the internationally acclaimed Mind-Sound Technology program, the outcome of Dr. Pillai’s pioneering research on quantum sounds, for which he was also featured on Channel News Asia. This event could come as a breather for many Singaporeans who want to be in-charge of their own financial future, rather than look for security in the government’s economic policies.

Interestingly, these new Mind Science tools even claim to help you manifest peace of mind and loving relationships.

*ONLY 100 SEATS AVAILABLE*

1-Day Special Intensive with Dr. Pillai: Secret Sounds to Manifest Money, Loving Relationships, and Peace of Mind

Date: 2 October 2010, 9 AM to 5 PM

Venue: Trader’s Hotel, Singapore, 1A Cuscaden Road, next to Tanglin Mall, Singapore

Seminar Fee: S$200 (Cash and Credit Card)

Knoxville, TN ( Prfriend ) August 10, 2010 – People are losing their jobs. Retirees are losing their retirements. US companies are losing market share due to competition abroad. Is there any wonder why college students are losing hope in finding a good job for the future? Simply put, landing a job today is an extreme uphill challenge, considering the large number of graduating students combined with the rising number of the unemployed.

Dr. Daryl D. Green and William Bailey will discuss how to deal with the economic downturn by using creative and innovative job strategies for employment. This will take place on August 21st, 3:30 p.m., at the Payne Avenue Missionary Baptist Church. The discussion will be a part of the book dedication program at the church. Their new book, Job Strategies for the 21st Century: How to Assist Today’s College Students during Economic Turbulence, provides practical solutions to the challenges that today’s college students face when attempting to find employment in an unstable economy. The book trailer can be viewed at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_LKEMrIweA .

Approximately, 15 million people are unemployed. Simply put, landing a job today is an extreme uphill challenge, considering the large number of graduating students combined with the rising number of the unemployed. Bailey notes, “Having been there, as a despondent college graduate, and by engaging today’s students as guest lecturers, we know and understand the importance for students to plan for their career goals. Daryl and I believe most college students neglect the need for career planning.”

Currently, college graduates find themselves competing with other individuals who are more seasoned and experienced for basic entry level positions in their career field. Therefore, a different type of strategy is needed during economic turbulence. Dr. Green notes, “I think people are using old methods for job hunting. It simply isn’t working. Bill and I have found a huge disconnect between what organizations are desiring in potential employees and what today’s graduates are providing.

Dr. Daryl Green and William Bailey combined have helped thousands with lectures, seminars, and columns. They have written articles, visited numerous university campuses, interviewed students and shared their insights on job strategies. The event is free. Dr. Green and Bailey are available for media interviews on the issues of job strategies during economic turbulence.

K.C. Turan, Vice President, Chief Compliance Officer & Chief Privacy Officer at Dun & Bradstreet will be a speaker at the upcoming Marcus Evans 5^th Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) & Anti-Corruption Compliance Conference on September 15-16, 2010 in San Francisco, CA.  Below is an excerpt of an interview in which he talks about how companies should adequately mitigate potential anti-corruption risks through proper M&A due diligence, as lapses can have severe and far-reaching adverse implications.

-          As countries strengthen their own anti-corruption enforcement activities, can this complicate compliance efforts for companies?

-          KCT:  Yes and no.  It certainly means that companies need to be vigilant in their anti-corruption compliance and M&A due diligence initiatives, but I think this remains true even if the US were the only country with vigorous enforcement activities.  We’re noticing a good deal of convergence in that a number of foreign regulatory agencies are now replicating, and cooperating with, the US regulatory agencies’ enforcement culture and actions.  UK and German regulators, for instance, appear to be stepping up their anti-corruption enforcement activities.  That said, companies can try to minimize the jurisdictional burden by applying a strict, comprehensive and uniform compliance standard across their global operations.  If they’re adhering to such an adequate uniform standard, then jurisdictional enforcement complications can be somewhat contained.  It’s important to note that this is always case- and fact-specific.  Given the variable attendant risks that are specific to particular markets, you may need to employ different compliance and oversight measures in countries such as Russia, India and China as opposed to other countries with traditionally lower corruption risk.  If the actual legal requirements and prohibitions in the other countries are substantially different, then this could certainly complicate compliance efforts.  The fact that other countries are strengthening their enforcement activities, however, primarily serves to amplify the importance of implementing and maintaining an effective and comprehensive compliance program across an enterprise’s global operations.

-          Will  increased competition caused by a worldwide recession only serve to heighten the pressure to use bribery as a vehicle for obtaining and retaining business?

- KCT:  Theoretically, yes.  Historically speaking, a number of studies have shown that recessions and economic downturns have induced irresponsible actors to engage in questionable and prohibited activity in order to benefit their business.  Bad actors may be inclined to engage in more bad activity and not-so-bad actors may be inclined to engage in questionable activity in which they otherwise wouldn’t normally engage.  This clearly underscores the need to be increasingly vigilant in one’s compliance efforts.  A robust, comprehensive and effective anti-corruption compliance program and a larger corporate culture of ethics and integrity will proactively factor these external and economic variables into the mix and serve to preemptively mitigate such risks.

-          Are there industries that have proven particularly vulnerable to FCPA investigations? If so, why is that?

-          KCT: Generally speaking, highly regulated industries that typically involve the need to routinely interact with foreign governmental entities and/or obtain foreign governmental approval for operational initiatives tend to lend themselves to greater corruption risk and anti-corruption regulatory scrutiny.  Some examples are the energy, oil, utilities, defense and aerospace industries, among others.  That said, any company within any industry can potentially be subjected to FCPA and international anti-corruption regulatory inquiries or investigations.  This is why it’s extremely important for all companies to have strong and effective anti-corruption compliance programs.

-          The UK Anti-Bribery Act was passed in April of this year and has gone farther than the FCPA in its measures to tackle corruption.  What further steps, if any, should the FCPA take to aggressively combat this problem?

-          KCT:  Many companies proactively designed their anti-corruption compliance programs to comply with the UK Act’s requirements prior to its passage, as the prohibition of “facilitating payments” and commercial bribery were already considered to be best practices despite the fact that they weren’t explicitly prohibited by the FCPA.  Furthermore, US authorities can prosecute commercial bribery in other ways, such as the wire fraud statutes.  Most companies will hold themselves to the most restrictive standard across their global operations, so I’m not sure that the FCPA necessarily requires enhancement or needs to replicate the UK Act’s provisions.  This is particularly true given the close cooperation that appears to be developing between the US, UK and other international anti-corruption regulators.  If the cross-jurisdictional enforcement actions are generally consistent and coordinated, then I’m not sure that the FCPA itself requires revisions at this time.  I think companies are acutely aware of the potential implications and risks of corruption, in addition to the underlying need to mitigate such risks through the implementation of an effective anti-corruption compliance program.

-          Are organizations looking to get opinion releases from the Department of Justice in advance of purchasing a target company?

-          KCT:  I think organizations are increasingly receptive to this idea.  Given the substantial risks and implications triggered by inadequate due diligence, advance regulatory opinions are one way in which an organization can proactively and preemptively address potential issues or “red flags” that they’ve identified.  The final decision as to whether an organization needs to secure an advance regulatory opinion will obviously be case- and fact-specific, but it’s best to err on the side of caution when dealing with unknown variables and high risks.  While an advance opinion won’t be required in all situations, I generally think it’s best to take a preemptive strike when dealing with such unknown variables as opposed to subsequently addressing regulatory issues on the back end.  This is particularly true when it’s a substantial acquisition that’s strategically critical to your business, which most acquisitions tend to be.  In addition to securing a helpful regulatory assessment of the issue(s) in question, it can be argued that the organization will build up a certain amount of “goodwill equity” with the regulatory authorities in proactively engaging them on the front end and demonstrating that the entity is a responsible actor who takes these issues seriously.

Join K.C Turan, Derek Devgun from Medtronic and Kelly Austin from General Electric as they discuss the appropriate level of due diligence to conduct as well as managing FCPA risks associated with mergers and acquisitions at the Marcus Evans 5^th Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) & Anti-Corruption Compliance Conference that will take place on September 15-16, 2010 in San Francisco, CA, USA

Kuwait, 15the June 2010: The en.v Initiative , an organization dedicated to social responsibility in the Arab world, is announcing a strategic partnership with the Australian College of Kuwait (ACK). This strategic partnership will seek to support the research and development of individuals and organizations in Kuwait in the areas of education, environment, culture and general welfare.

The Partnership

As an educational establishment, ACK is a strong advocate of innovation and creativity among the youth sector – with a particular focus on participating in programs that enhance and encourage their potential.  ACK has entered into this agreement with en.v to further create engaging outlets for their student body to actively partake in social development activities – with a particular focus on key environmental concerns in Kuwait such as waste management, marine conservation and terrestrial preservation.  Through this partnership, both entities will strive to promote environmental responsibility among the youth population that will communicate into the adaptation of responsible lifestyles.

Professor Vishi Karri, the President of ACK, speaks fondly of this partnership. “It is important to get the programs and the passion behind our initiatives to the wider community. I see there is a significant synergy between the vision of en.v and ACK in bringing this to fruition. We hope the partnership will address much needed social, ecological and broader environmental awareness to both students and staff on campus. We are excited at this prospect and look forward to a wonderful journey.”

Furthermore, for 2010,  en.v has taken a strategic decision to host REUSE (its annual exposition to promote eco-friendly living) on ACK’s campus. In its fourth year, REUSE 4.0 will serve as an opportunity for non-profit organizations, companies, professionals and aspiring creative talents to showcase their accomplishments in the fields of social responsibility and sustainability via a dynamic range of mediums and interactive activities with the student body and general public.

Zahed Al Sultan, Managing Partner and CEO of en.v, emphasized that “Unlocking a budding society’s hidden potential is a significant undertaking.”

“Fueled by passion and the backing of a dedicated team equips you with the vigor to push forward.  We are enthused by ACK’s commitment and shared vision for addressing social change.  This partnership sets the stage for something very special…” Sultan concluded.

In the coming years, en.v, through its various resources and ever developing network, will adopt a multi-lateral action plan that will group and gather together individuals, organizations and corporations with similar goals of philanthropy, sustainability and development towards achieving a unified ideal of social progress.

Since its inception, over two years ago, en.v (a subsidiary of El Boutique Creative Group www.elboutique.com) has sought to raise awareness for key social and environmental challenges facing the Arab world today and promote responsible living within our respective communities.   Ultimately, en.v aspires to nurture the development of a new kind of citizen in the Arab world – one who is alert, aware and conscious of the effects his or her decisions and actions have on society at large and on the environment as a whole.

About en.v

en.v (a subsidiary of El Boutique Creative Group www.elboutique.com) is an initiative dedicated to social responsibility in the Arab world.  en.v’s primary objective is to seek out public sector bodies, private sector and civil society organizations in the region, document their efforts, and create interactivity between them towards developing a more thought-conscious society. Using formats that are appealing to the masses, en.v strives to develop mediums that entities can utilize as platforms for communicating their social efforts and engaging their respective stakeholder communities.Join en.v online:

A study by one of Scotland’s leading double glazing installers has revealed the top 10 cities in Scotland that are the least security conscious, thus creating a Scottish housebreaking chart. According to the poll more than half of Scots leave their windows unlocked when they go out.

A survey of more than 1,700 Scots has found that the majority of people, 54%, leave their windows unlocked when they’re not at home. The study was commissioned by www.CentralScotlandJoinery.co.uk, one of Scotland’s leading double glazing installers, in a bid to better understand their market.

Further questioning by www.CentralScotlandJoinery.co.uk found that a quarter, 26%, said they regularly left windows ajar whilst out.

When asked, “If you leave your windows unlocked or ajar whilst out, what are the reason/s?”, it was found that the majority of people, 61%, are simply forgetful. 18% said they felt safe in their area, and as such didn’t see the need to lock or close them.

www.CentralScotlandJoinery.co.uk looked at the results of the poll, and split the responses by location, in order to locate the towns and cities where Scots are least conscious of home-safety.

Here are the ten towns and cities most at risk of housebreakers accessing their house through their windows, according to responses to the question, “Do you leave windows unlocked when you are out?”:

1. Inverness – 72% (of people admitted to leaving windows unlocked)
2. Dundee – 68%
3. Aberdeen – 66%
4. Edinburgh – 61%
5. Paisley – 59%
6. Dunfermline – 58%
7. Perth – 56%
8. Greenock – 54%
9. Glasgow – 52%
10. 10.  Kirkcaldy – 49%

Jamie Haston, Managing Director of http://www.CentralScotlandJoinery.co.uk has said, 

“These results prove that the majority of us are not as careful with regards to the safety and security of our home whilst we’re out as we should be.

“It would be interesting to see whether there’s a correlation between house burglaries in Scotland and the regions we have found to be least security-conscious. I can’t stress enough the importance of keeping your windows locked – and at the very least, closed! Each of our double glazed windows is safety-approved, and comes with a lock.”

Chapel Hill, North Carolina (July 4, 2010) – Many people are working to stop poverty, pollution, over-population, racism, crime, war, disease, and the other social ills that plague mankind, but the problems are never ending.  This is because the root cause of the problems, “division,” is never resolved.  The solution is to “unite” people with the truth.

We are young people who are fed up with the lies and deception that millions of adults are saying is the truth.  They are destroying the world and stealing our future.  We are sick of the lies from our political leaders, businessmen, clergy, lawyers and other people in power that will sell our future in exchange for their shortsighted benefit.  All the glad-handing, back-slapping, platitudes, and empty promises make us sick.

Everyone should be interested in spreading “the truth,” a universal truth, a truth that can be checked, that can unite all of mankind.  We cannot survive the divisions that separate us.  They result in wars, destruction of the environment, and all our other social problems.

Most people believe in old myths that contradict each other and cause division.  Most myths in religions were created before people had the benefit of modern science.  The Truth Contest uses modern science to define the truth.  For the first time, people will know right from wrong for certain.  This will create a certain morality which will serve as the foundation for a united world; the paradise on earth everyone wants.

The Truth Contest is a website run by college students where the only mission is to find, define and spread the truth about life.  The contest is really not a competition with a winner.  It is just the best way to find, define and spread the truth.  Anyone can enter.  With honesty, open minds, an open exchange of ideas, good will and the power of the internet, we will find and spread the truth to stop the lies and deception once and for all.  This collective effort towards truth will give us common ground in and of itself.  Let’s get serious and honest about the truth.
