Friday, June 03, 2022 The latest craze in Panama has to do with building security supposedly being fined thousands of dollars for taking a copy of the ID or cedula of visitors to their building.  You know, you go to a building, they ask you for your name and ID number, you blurt out any […]

Friday, May 20, 2022 Of the many services we offer, we conduct polygraph (lie detector) tests for pre-employment and investigation-related cases.  Earlier today we received a call from a concerned parent asking if we could do a polygraph of their pre-teen child who has been lying to them quite a bit.  The answer is “no”.  […]

Friday, May 13, 2022 Brett’s first ever Restaurant review: Every week I have to eat outside the home as work is in the city and home is… …not.  Lunchbagging my meals just gives me cold meals that should be hot and more times than not, I don’t eat them anyways. That being said, I eat […]

Friday, April 01, 2022 Carl Sagan rightly wrote “When you‘re in love, you want to tell the world.”  His love was science, and he had such a fantastic way of explaining what he loved to everyone.  When you have a passion, the sensation gets under your skin and you just have to tell someone, if not […]
