G20 Decisions May Help Singapore Economy

GuideMeSingapore.com will be releasing a report analyzing the impact of the G20 meeting in United Kingdom on the Singaporean economy. Andrew Chen, founder of the site, summarized the upcoming report's findings as follows:

The G20 meeting focused primarily on fostering international economic cooperation in confronting the financial downturn. It took concrete measures to discourage protectionism, encourage free trade, and made a joint commitment of over $1.1 trillion in fiscal stimulus to resuscitate the global economy. Most of this amount will be used to boost financing through the IMF and will be directed to emerging markets. This is good news for Singapore as increased global trade has historically correlated with strong performance of the Singaporean economy. Restoration of growth in emerging markets will lead to increased business opportunities in Singapore given the country's close ties to most emerging markets in Asia.... (Continue reading)

Revolutionary Fishing Release Just in Time for 2005 Fishing Season

Fishermen have long been awaiting an innovative design to solve the problems they contend with using traditional fishing releases. The new Sure-Set release now brings to the marketplace solutions to those challenges. A distinguishing feature is the use of two separate tension points, allowing more tension on the pole and less tension for the lure, as opposed to traditional releases, which have a single tension point. There is an adjustable tension slide allowing a fisherman to be able to set the desired tension. In addition, it is noteworthy that there is no line slippage with this release, its either set or released. There is little to no line drag; therefore, the pole snap sets the hook. This product releases when the fish strikes. Undoubtedly, unwanted or false releases" are a major problem and concern on the water for fisherman. Sure-Set brings an end to false releases with up to 10 times more pole tension. An added feature is the self-releasing stacker setup to prevent the cutting of grooves and removal from the cable when a downrigger is brought up from the water. All this and it does not foul any type of fishing line.... (Continue reading)

Tough Employment Market Breeds Epidemic of Lies on Jobseeker's Resumes

William Potter, Vice President of betterjobsearch.com, was interviewed about employment issues by Mark Saxenmeyer; the interview aired on Fox News Chicago December 10th, 2008.

"Although it may be tempting, giving a resume with lies on it to an employer is like handing over a loaded gun; you never know when it will be used," said Potter. The most common lies on resumes are about education, periods of employment, places of employment, and salaries

According to Steven D. Levitt, professor at the University of Chicago and co-author of "Freakonmics", more the 50% of resumes contain lies. This, combined with human resources departments being given more responsibilities, combined with reductions in staff, make it very hard to verify all employment data.... (Continue reading)

Judge Upholds Ruling that Ramada Hotel in Ligonier PA Liable for Furnishing Alcohol to Minor Before Deadly Car Accident

The family of Sean Nemcheck, a 17-year-old who died in a car accident on February 19, 2006, can claim another small victory in their pursuit of legal justice. In case number 873 MD 2007, Judge Gary Caruso of the Court of Common Pleas of Westmoreland County has dismissed an appeal filed by Sean's former employer, Ramada of Historic Ligonier, thereby upholding the finding that the Ramada is liable for furnishing the minor with the alcohol linked to his fatal crash.

In charges brought by the Pennsylvania Liquor Control board last year in citation number 07-0361, an administrative law judge found the Ramada of Historic Ligonier liable by failing to prevent Sean from obtaining and consuming alcoholic beverages while at work. The Ramada appealed this ruling to the Court of Common Pleas, but Judge Caruso found sufficient evidence to uphold the administrative law judge's findings in the charges against Hospitality Group Services, Inc., which owns and operates the Ramada of Historic Ligonier. The opinion issued by the Judge Caruso upheld the finding that the Ramada failed to take the necessary steps to prevent Sean from obtaining alcohol while he was working on the premises on the eve of February 18 to February 19, 2006. In addition, the opinion upheld the finding that Sean was left unsupervised with access to the unlocked hotel bar for several hours from February 18 to February 19. At the time of his accident, Sean's blood alcohol level was 0.14. Pennsylvania drivers under the age of 21 are considered legally drunk if their blood alcohol concentration is above .02....
