Rise in Orders Could Mean Fraud
by NACM National
Certainly, the primary goal in any business endeavor is to get customers to increase their orders. But this increase can also be a warning sign and another technique for spotting business credit fraud. In most credit fraud situations, the operator ultimately wants to order as much as possible. The window of opportunity for heavy ordering is often just a few months. Thus, there comes a time in almost every credit fraud when ordering increases drastically. It is simply greed.

ICEL Chair Message
Attitude of Gratitude
By Erik Wright, CBF, Spectrum Engineers, Inc.
With the Thanksgiving holiday just behind us, giving thanks should not be.

ICEL Recap:
Culture Clash
by DeAnna Leahy, CCE, Sunroc Corp.
In our ICEL meeting for November, we were honored to hear from Dr. Steven Aldana, the author of the book Culture Clash: How We Win the Battle for Better Health. Dr. Aldana is one of the nation's foremost experts on healthy living and wellness. He spoke to us about the true cause of our poor health, which is our unhealthy culture. Our unhealthy behaviors and poor health are caused by the culture we have created and the only realistic solution to better health is to change our culture. Our situation is a side effect of capitalism and our new culture of sedentary living. Our bodies have not adapted to sedentary lifestyles and are not designed to be sedentary. The result is obesity and chronic disease. These unhealthy behaviors lead to increased health risks which leads to chronic disease. Salt, sugar and fat are addictive substances which makes it difficult to make changes. Read full article
