  • Bodyguard Training in Mexico; My Experiences While Providing BG Training in Mexico

    Mexico the country of Salsa, Tortillas and Corruption; I first arrived in Mexico City in February 2002 as an instructor for the WFB – the World Federation of Bodyguards. A Mexican security service had contracted Anders Sorenson, the Norwegian WFB instructor and I, to set-up a training program for BG’s in Mexico.

    I came through customs and the weapons search, shaking my head at the Mexican officials who only spoke Spanish, making my visa interview a complete waste of time.

    That was one of my first lessons about Mexico; almost all Mexicans dream of going to the US to live however, ...

  • The Shoemaker And The Elves
    Remember the story of the Shoemaker and The Elves?

    The shoemaker would go to sleep and the elves would finish
    any shoes he hadn't gotten around to.

    Our minds function in much the same way, Our conscious,
    logical mind is the shoemaker. Our subconscious is the
    elves.

    Give your conscious mind a goal, gather all the facts and
    let the elves do their work.

    Many of our greatest inventions and discoveries have come
    after the scientist or researcher had given up and the
    elves took over.

    The structure of DNA had baffled researchers for years. Author:     John Colanzi

  • Selling With Principles -- NOT Plungers
    For most of us, selling is against our natures. We were taught as
    children to be polite, courteous, and respecting of others. (Well, at
    least some of us were anyway.)

    The problem is, selling seems to go against those principles. Notice I
    said selling 'seems' to go against the polite, courteous side of
    ourselves. In actuality, however, only bad salesmanship is overly
    aggressive, obtrusive, and just plain not nice.

    However, if your just starting out, it can be difficult to find a way to
    make your point and offer your product without feeling like you're
    r ...

    Genetics News:

    Genetic testing still smart choice, despite uncertainties
    Preimplantation genetic diagnosis has been used for more than a decade to screen embryos for hereditary diseases such as Down syndrome and other abnormalities. To do this, one cell from an eight-cell embryo is extracted and examined for chromosomal defects. However, as many as half these embryos spawn cells with different genetic information as they divide, giving doctors an inaccurate idea of how the embryo will continue to develop.

  • The Secret Spies Of The Future, The CIA In 2025, Sure They Look The Same?

    The CIA robotic spies will look like you and I, talk, walk, eat, act and even make mistakes like us. But these will not be living, breathing organic humans. The Labs around the country are working on them now, by 2025 they will be everywhere. It is time to a have a serious discussion on artificial intelligence and the future of clandestine spies using artificial intelligence robotics.

    Isaac Asimov had artificial organic robots in his books. We all saw the movie AI. Will we be fooled in the future by robots posing as people? Will we care? This might be a great opportunity for spying? C ...

  • Childhood Obesity
    Along with the increase of obesity in adult, childhood obesity is on the rise. Around 15.5 percent of adolescents in the United States, aged 12 to 19 are obese. Even more alarming, about 15.3 percent of children ages 6 to 11 are obese. These children are developing Type II Diabetes and high blood pressure at an early age. They are placing themselves at increased risk for heart disease and other obesity-related diseases. Their weight also makes them the target of bullies and children who insult and taunt them about their weight. This can ruin their self-esteem and put them at risk for depressio ...
