About the Five Star Scanner Appeal:
The current project is named the Five Star Scanner Appeal and aims to raise £1M for a new MRI scanner. The existing scanner was provided by ourselves 13 years ago under the appeal name of The Bryan Robson Scanner Appeal. The new equipment will cut the time of a standard scan from 45 minutes to 15 minutes and will aid doctors in diagnosing cancer and cancer related illnesses more quickly, enabling them to provide early treatment that will ultimately save children's lives.
Business Breakfast Series Venue: Lawrys the Prime Rib, Los Angeles Speaker: Kent Moyer Description:
World Protection Group Presents:
Travel Safety and Security in a Time of Global Uncertainty
With Special Guest Speaker Kent Moyer
Can a fictional character keep you safe while traveling overseas? We believe he can-if you develop what we call the "James Bond CEO" persona. Most executives do not plan the element of security when traveling to potentially dangerous countries. This presentation will help anyone who travels for business or pleasure transform themselves into a "James Bond CEO." Topics to be discussed include:
1. What open source information will help you determine the level of danger in each country to which you plan to travel? 2. The top 10 most dangerous countries and why you should use private security when traveling there for business. 3. How to handle a medical emergency while traveling. 4. How to protect your company's proprietary information while traveling. 5. Understand how the bad guys operate. "To know your enemy you must become your enemy." --Sun Tzu. 6. What are the threats? Kidnapping, Suicide Bombers, Assassination, Extremism, Random Violence, Medical Emergencies, and Hotel Bombs. 7. How do you detect Surveillance? What do you do if you detect Surveillance? 8. Analysis and attack statistics on executives. Time, speed, and distance getting out of an attack. Kent Moyer is the founder and CEO of The World Protection Group, Inc.
