The Guru of Nuru Massage Gel
www.nuru-guru.com, 26 July 2013
Founded by Cindy Cravenho, Nuru-Guru Offers a Selection of Exotic Massage Gels that Feature the Japanese Seaweed Known as Nori For many, the early stages of romantic relationships are alive with fireworks and passion. Over time, though, that exhilaration can lessen, leaving couples searching for ways to regain excitement in the bedroom. Touch, through sensual massage, is an ideal avenue to stimulation and pleasure for couples at every stage of their relationship, Cindy Cravenho believes.
A former accountant who grew tired of the corporate world, Cindy Cravenho is the founder and president of Nuru-Guru, which has a line of exotic massage gels designed to enliven intimacy.
"Touch is the most intimate feeling a man and a woman can share. It gives couples the ability to understand each other without words," Cindy Cravenho said. "Intimacy is more than just the act of sexual intercourse. Sensual massage provides sensations that make intimate moments more memorable because they are more exciting."
Cindy Cravenho launched Nuru-Guru after hearing from a friend who is a massage therapist express displeasure over the quality of the oils, especially that they stained sheets and clothes. That sparked an idea since she had read about Nori, the Japanese seaweed that is transparent, tasteless, odorless, extremely slippery and smooth.
...
"Since our gels are odorless and transparent, you don't have to worry about them staining your bedding or your clothes," Cindy Cravenho said. "Once I learned about Nori, I wanted to order it, but I couldn't find anything I liked online or in stores. That led me to start my own company where we provide high quality massage gel, whether you want to use it for nuru or traditional massages."
Cindy's Nuru-Guru company is the original nuru massage gel business in the United States, though a former employee has started an online venue of his own under the Numa Nuru Gel name, claiming that his is the original version.
"As an entrepreneur, you seem to learn new lessons as the months and years pass," Cravenho said "The experience of seeing a former employee start a company roughly based on Nuru-Guru oils and make false claims has been frustrating, yet consumers recognize the difference in quality."
As demonstrated on the Nuru-Guru website, nuru massages involve body-to-body sliding, which is intended to give couples more stimulation and heightened intimacy. Nuru-Guru gels can be used for nuru massages and traditional massages.
"Since our gels are odorless and transparent, you don't have to worry about them staining your bedding or your clothes," Cravenho said. "Once I learned about Nori, I wanted to order it, but I couldn't find anything I liked online or in stores. That led me to start my own company where we provide high quality massage gel, whether you want to use it for nuru or traditional massages."
Cindy Cravenho's Nuru-Guru company is the original nuru massage gel business in the United States, though a former employee has started an online venue of his own under the Numa Nuru Gel name also known as Mr.Nori's Magic Gel, claiming that his is the original version.
"As an entrepreneur, you seem to learn new lessons as the months and years pass," Cravenho said "The experience of seeing a former employee start a company roughly based on Nuru-Guru oils and make false claims has been frustrating, yet consumers recognize the difference in quality."

INVOICE FACTORING SCAM -- FRAUD, 12:11:39 01/27/15 Tue [1]
Invoice Factoring could be next Big Thing for Fraud Scam, Predicts Lawyer
Invoice factoring could be next big thing for fraud scam, predicts lawyer
Shaw Capital Management and Financing offer a complete line of factoring services, purchase order funding, and asset based financing, accounts receivable management, and other related financial services.
One of the biggest challenges facing businesses in the current economic climate is getting invoices paid and the use of invoice factoring could become a significant area for fraud, according specialist fraud lawyer Arun Chauhan of Midlands firm Challinors.
In the current economic climate the use of factoring is becoming more prevalent, says Arun, a
Partner at Challinors and head of its Fraud & Asset Recovery department. The problem of getting invoices paid is a growing problem and an increase in fraud in Factoring is an area that will not be immune from this threat.
The issue of invoice payment is not unique to the economic climate but one that is encountered by all businesses and in particular start up businesses. Factoring is the selling of a companys invoices, at a discount, to a Factor - typically a financial institution - which then assumes the credit risk of the account debtors and receives cash as the debtors settle their accounts. The company then receives the value of the invoice less a percentage retained by the company as their fee for the factoring service.
The Factor will typically obtain a personal guarantee or some form of security from a director of a company before commencement of any agreement, explains Arun.
There are two specific types of factoring - Open and hidden factoring. In Open Factoring the company does not mind if its customers know if they are using a Factor. The debtor is sent invoices by the Factor to recover the face value of the invoices.
If a company has decided to Factor invoices to improve cash flow, it may wish to keep this from its customers. In these circumstances the practice of Closed Factoring is used, which involves the debtor being invoiced by the company not the Factor, who is sent the invoice and then pays a percentage. When the debtor pays the invoice the sum due to the Factor is then paid.
The process of factoring is susceptible to fraudulent activity, if there are not sufficient controls in place within a business, says Arun. A Managing Director may not be aware that those dealing with the raising of invoices for the company may well be devising a fraudulent scheme by creation location of businesses: The fact that the postcode of a company is the same or in a similar geographical location to the debtor is one warning sign to look for. Another is the existence of large invoice amounts relative to the average for that debtor.
The fraud is sometimes not internal but purely perpetrated to cause loss to the Factor. One example of this was uncovered in 2008 where the Directors of a Manchester based computer firm,
Ravelle, were convicted in a 3.25 million fraud upon its creditors. The fraud was centred on the creation of false sales documents and a complex web of inter-company transactions designed to deceive Factoring companies into providing finance to the Ravelle Group. This is a prime example of collusion, which is one pre-requisite for factoring fraud.
Many types of fraud are only possible if collusion between parties exists. In the Ravelle case, the collusion between the directors enabled the company to create fresh air invoices and more importantly partake in circular trading, the point of which is to create a complex set of trading requirements which allow a systematic deception of the factoring company. The schemes that keep companies running could not have been implemented without the continued input of the parties at Ravelle, and one of the Directors was a qualified accountant.
He adds: In the current economic climate the temptation for directors to cross the line and partake in Factoring fraud is greater owing to the constraints on cash flow. Any fraudulent activity is bound to leave a trail of evidence that will soon be detected, and our specialist fraud lawyers are skilled in finding such discrepancies. The fraud will eventually be detected, no matter how small.
