How Wi-Fi Data Transmission is Unlocking Critical OTMR Information to Improve Rail Fleet Management

PRLog (Press Release) – Sep 30, 2009 – Rail safety specialist, Rowe Hankins, has introduced the first Wi-Fi enabled on-train monitoring and recording unit (OTMR) on the UK rail network.  The Teloc unit from HaslerRail has been installed by Rowe Hankins on a Porterbrook Turbostar operated by London Midland as part of a long term trial.
The trial started in June and is expected to run for at least six months.  Steve Stone, technical director at Rowe Hankins, commented, “The main purpose of the OTMR remains as an evidential recorder for judicial purposes but data transmission by Wi-Fi is a considerable advance in making this high value data more useful in strategic management.”
Traditionally data is downloaded from the OTMR via a ruggedized laptop for later transfer to a desktop where software permits event analysis and interpretation.  The new Wi-Fi enabled Teloc removes the need for physical download and therefore all the complications and possible dangers of porting data between devices.  It offers automated data transfer which is quicker and more robust, with higher levels of data access and security.  This is expected to provide safety and efficiency improvements by enabling more timely maintenance and management action.
The new Teloc unit is linked to a WiFi bridge for data transmission.  Data download is still possible via laptop or via a USB memory stick, but the unit has both GPRS and WiFi antennas for main download.  This gives flexibility and the additional back-up for data transfer if one system is unavailable.  Systems monitored include brakes, speed, door operation, signals response and GPS position.  All data packages are tagged with vehicle identity.  
Via the data-bridge, data packets are transmitted in units of 128 Kbyte to the HaslerRail data centre.  This high integrity server farm has the highest levels of back-up, firewall and UPS protection.  Secure access to the data is allowed only to authorised organisations – London Midland and Porterbrook – who are equipped with HaslerRail software for data analysis and interpretation.
Speaking for Porterbrook, Alf Shepherd, the Turbostar fleet engineer explained, “With the phasing out of RS232 interfaces the recovery of data from older OTMR’s and other devices was becoming a problem.  Physical download by the train operator also limited my access to data, but with the new system I can readily call up data from the data centre.  This makes it easier for me to appreciate factors such as the mileage and wear and tear on the asset so that programmed inspection, service or refurbishment of key systems can be properly scheduled with the operator.”

Anti-Piracy Training for Global Merchant Vessel Protection

PRLog (Press Release) – Sep 29, 2009 – MATS College of Technology, ISSG Holdings and Evolutionary Security Management are pleased to announce that they have reached a significant milestone in their efforts to support the seafarer community’s anti-piracy efforts through specialized practical anti-piracy training. The product of several months’ research and development, this training will provide seafarers with training that is specifically designed to meet this rising global challenge.
MATS College of Technology, a leading maritime training institution in the Philippines, has nearly forty years of history in training seafarers for the global maritime industry and is located within the city of Davao. Graduates from MATS College of Technology have often been found amongst the top graduates within the region.
ISSG Holdings, a specialized provider of ship security and high-risk transits, provides operational support and knowledge that will ensure that the training candidates receive encompasses the latest understanding of the operational environment. This is further refined through ISSG Holdings commitment to ensuring that the shipping industry receives both relevant and reliable ship security services, maintaining constant lines of communication with shipping companies, manning agencies and other supporting elements.
Evolutionary Security Management, a recognized training institution for maritime security based in Ontario, Canada, has been a leading research organization within the Transportation Security community with strong ties to first responder, professional security and asset protection associations. These include taking on leadership roles within those communities. The lines of communication into these professional associations ensure that the training provided to candidates aligns with best practices and sound security doctrine.
Located in Davao City, this course is easily accessible to the maritime and seafarer communities, taking into account the need for a cost-effective solution within the maritime industry. The vast majority of seafarers being drawn from this community mean that shipping companies and manning agencies are not burdened with the high travel and accommodation costs that are often encountered when attempting to coordinate specialized training in certain other parts of the globe. Concurrently, shipping companies and manning agencies have the option of having full crews undergo the training together, a practice that reinforces the crew’s ability to respond cohesively. Direct flights from Singapore, a major transportation hub, ensure that this training can be accessible across the global community.
By blending theoretical (classroom) and practical (on board vessel) training that culminates in a live practical exercise on board a vessel, this training is unique in its preparation of seafarers for real-world events. By building this capacity, this is the first course that balances the history and traditions of the professional merchant mariner with leading edge security practices and theory in a way that will have significant and cumulative benefits across the maritime industry.
The first full training course is currently slated for mid-November 2009. Details will soon be posted on the ISSG Holdings, Ltd. web site.

DGL "Wow’s" Client with IES Technology

PRLog (Press Release) – Sep 28, 2009 – When Linda Snyder, President of freight forwarding company Diversified Global Logistics (DGL), purchased the Memphis branch of Forward Logistics Group in 2007, she quickly realized the challenges presented by a name change, "All our customers knew us as Forward Logistics Group. We had to let them know from their standpoint that was just a name change. Everyone was a little skittish at first, and we knew we had a few hurdles. The level of service we needed to provide really had to ‘wow’ them.”
“We knew we were up for a challenge,” adds Bernie Snyder, Vice President at DGL, “One of our foremost specialties is Aircraft on Ground (AOG) shipments.  Even with the name change, we still needed to ensure that we remained one of the premiere forwarders who could handle these complex, high-stake shipments. We needed to be more than just simply capable-- we needed to be the vendor of choice for AOG shipments.”
“I think it might be best to explain this as a narrative, just as we experienced  it. Our German agent had an MD10  aircraft grounded at Frankfurt needing major repairs to one of its Rolls-Royce engines,” narrates Bernie Snyder, “Aircraft on Ground shipments are always ‘hot’, but this shipment was ‘on fire’.  The engines could only be repaired at the Rolls-Royce RR-Tay facility outside of Dallas. Of course if a plane is not in the air, it’s not making money. However in this case, there was a larger issue and more at stake than just the potential for short-term loss.”
“Our customer was building a relationship with a new account and was concerned about of the potential loss of goodwill and trust. This type of loss is unquantifiable and intangible, but absolutely vital in the long-term. The grounded aircraft was literally ‘eating up’ more than just the revenue for the situation at hand. There was also the larger risk of losing future revenue, making this a make or break situation. The aircraft was losing millions of dollars in lost revenue when taking into consideration the cascading effect it had on the entire operation.”
“We orchestrate everything to ensure the process goes smoothly,” explains Customs Broker Ron Davis. Ron is a considered by many in the company to work ‘in the trenches’ on the front-line of day-to-day operations, “If you think about it, AOG by its nature is a ‘hiccup’ in the system where something is broken.  The trick is how to create order out of a situation which is inherently chaotic. We’re not the ones fixing the aircraft or installing the part, but we’re the ones who ensure that everything is on-hand and on-time. In a sense, we’re like a surgical team ensuring that the surgeon has all the tools on hand.  We anticipate questions like what if the shipment is too large to transport on a particular flatbed? What if they didn’t send an air-ride vehicle? What if you don’t have the permits you need. We choreograph the right vendors with the right equipment. There are a lot of details that have to mesh perfectly to ensure that the process runs smoothly.”
“In this case, right at wheels-up, we already had all the AMS information on hand,” switching back to Bernie Snyder, “IES’s integrated products allowed the freight to be pre-cleared well before arrival. Ron was already speaking to the flatbed dispatcher before the flight even landed. The Rolls Royce engine was shortly placed on the correct type of flatbed, and was quickly on its way to the RR-Tay3 repair facility outside of Dallas.”
Linda Snyder then comments from a higher-level perspective, “There are forwarders who can handle a hot shipment correctly some of the time. What makes a world class forwarder is repeated success and consistency. The Rolls Royce engine shipment is not the sort of situation where you want to try out a new forwarder. You head straight to your most trusted and skilled forwarder. In all honesty, we would not be able to compete at the level we are right now without IES technology.  When a client is in a mission-critical situation, more and more DGL has been the vendor of choice due to our accelerated technology. The client can see where the shipment is at every step along the way with the DGL tracking system.  This is the IES Web Tracking system, but the product is branded as DGL, putting our face on the product and bringing us up a notch in our level of service offerings.”
Linda Snyder says the company is now looking at expansions in Kansas City, Nashville or St. Louis. She explains, “We could not have reached this point without IES.  In the end,” Linda Snyder concludes, “the name change to DGL has shown that we are truly a new and stronger company. IES technology has helped DGL step up to the forefront as a trusted business partner, ensuring both DGL and our clients long term success.”

Kansas Dealer presents the 2010 Ford Shelby GT500

PRLog (Press Release) – Sep 28, 2009 – Kansas new car shoppers now have an additional reason to shop at Midway Motors in McPherson Kansas. The all new 2010 Ford Shelby GT500 is now available.  The new 2010 Ford Shelby Mustang GT500 delivers the most power and refinement ever for a Ford SVT-tuned performance Mustang – and a few surprises, too.
More horsepower, more refinement, more functionality
The combination of added horsepower, refinement and functionality makes the 2010 Shelby GT500 a unique high-performance car for Kansas Ford enthusiasts. It delivers more horsepower and more torque than the outgoing model, thanks in part to advancements pioneered on the GT500KR.
The 2010 Shelby GT500 is powered by a supercharged and intercooled 5.4-liter dual overhead cam V-8 engine that produces 540 horsepower at 6,200 rpm and 510 ft.-lb. of torque at 4,500 rpm. The redline is 6,250 rpm. The car’s aluminum power dome hood not only adds to the Shelby’s appearance, it helps cool the engine through a hood extractor.
The Shelby’s open-element air induction system features a conical air filter instead of a flat-panel closed system to reduce air restriction.
The 2010 Shelby GT500 offers Kansas customers improved straight-line acceleration, plus fuel savings when cruising on highway I-70 in the top gears. Gears 1-4 remain the same, but fifth gear changes from .80 to .74 while sixth gear goes from .63 to .50, meaning that the 2010 Shelby GT500 will turn lower engine RPMs in those gears and deliver improved fuel efficiency. The new final drive ratio, moving from 3.31 to 3.55, enables the improved acceleration in lower gears while complementing the revised fifth and sixth gear ratios.
The Shelby’s distinct sounds will be apparent as always, though with new refinements, thanks to the work of the Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH) team. A patented resonator placed between the air filter and engine throttle body helps keep unwanted noise in check.
2010 Shelby GT500 in Action
The Shelby is the most robust design and distinctive model of the new Mustang lineup.  Racing stripes are now available for the first time on the convertible model of the 2010 Shelby GT500.
Rounding out the Shelby’s exterior modifications are the unique signature coiled Cobra badges on the front grille and front fenders, a more aggressive front splitter and lower-drag rear spoiler, which added to improved aerodynamic features. The spoiler is raked back aggressively to minimize drag, while an integrated Gurney Flap provides the downforce.

Be A Smart Eco Traveler

PRLog (Press Release) – Sep 25, 2009 – People like traveling. Vacation is always a nice treat for you and your family. However, with all the news about global warming and economy crisis, people consider travel more careful than ever.
Many environmentalists think that flights are the biggest killer to the atmosphere. Many families now have tighter budget than ever. While facing all these concerns, we are still trying to find out ways to get away with our family and friends. Why not travel green and explore the world without hurting our planet and pocket? Here are some simple tips for you to consider and hopefully can help you accelerate decision-making process.
Stay With Locals
Accommodation is the biggest part of your travel budget, especially travel internationally. Staying with trusted local host family would be a good option to save some budget. The cost will be lower than staying at the hotel. Furthermore, it allows you to communicate with local people, know more about their culture and language, and have some real taste of local traditional food.
If you prefer to stay at hotel, purchase an eco package from travel agency, which includes flight tickets and hotels, can save you hundreds even thousands.
Off-Season Travel
Because of high demand, the costs of the hotels and flight tickets are priced the highest than the rest the year and you properly won’t be able to find a nice destination to have some relax and peaceful time due to the crowd. To find out when the low travel periods are, you can check out the government official websites at your destination for more traveling tips and details before you go.
Another reason for off-season traveling is weather. Weather can be a big problem during vacation, so do a research on forecast reports for past few years to figure out when would be the best time to go.
Discounts are available during off-peak season. It would be a good idea to create a list of all attractions, stores and museums you want to visit during your trip and check out their websites for any coupons or vouchers they offer for either tickets or shopping.
Travel Like An Environmental Helper
To be an active environmental helper, you can find volunteer work from non-profit organizations or eco packages from travel agencies who work with non-profit organizations in order to approach to the public awareness of global warming issues. You can also participate in environmental projects that need volunteers around the world with different research themes.  
Transportations At Destinations
Even thought staying at downtown area can be expensive, you save big money on car rental and gas. Usually, all city attractions are located in downtown area within walking-distance. Also, public transportation can help you save money and easier on the environment. Train would be another good choice for transportation. If you are planning to see some attractions in further distance, check if you can get there by taking a train.
Traveling opens our eyes. To be a smart traveler requires you to do lots homework before the trip. The more you do, the more you save. In the U.S., state and local government promotes tourist programs more on eco tourism in a better and greener way. More deals, discounts and travel information can be accessed easily from official websites.

Bus Eireann To Continue Operating Miltown Malbay To Ennis Service

PRLog (Press Release) – Sep 25, 2009 – The Fianna Fail T.D. for Clare said he had received the assurance from Bus Eireann Chief Executive Tim Hayes who noted that the entire bus network was under review due to falling passenger numbers and a potential EUR30 million financial deficit this year.
Minister of State Killeen commented: “I have been informed by Bus Eireann that it has put in place a cost recovery plan that is designed to return the company to a position of financial strength through changes to terms and conditions and through services changes to routes that have low customer support - often less than five people per service.  The company’s review of its nationwide network includes the Ennis to Miltown service, which it has no plans to end at this point.  This is welcome news for the people who use the service, which provides an important link between the County Capital and West Clare.”
In a letter to Minister of State Killeen, Mr Hayes stated: “In recent years Bus Eireann had expanded its network of services across the country, including in the Clare area, in line with customer demand. However, due to the economic downturn, which has seen our passenger numbers fall by ten per cent. Bus Eireann is now facing a loss of up to EUR30m this year. As a responsible commercial semi-State company we must take action to address these losses in order to protect as many services and jobs as possible.
“Just as we grew services during the good times, we must now adjust our network in line with falling demand so that Bus Eireann can continue to provide transport to the considerable number of people throughout the country who use our services every day, while returning the company to a stronger financial position.
“I think it is important to note that we have not yet made any changes to the Miltown Malbay to Ennis service and there is not expected to be any change to the service in the short-term provided that we can get agreement from the trade unions for the required level of savings.  If changes are introduced on the Miltown Malbay to Ennis service, we will inform customers and the public in advance of those changes coming into effect”, concluded Mr. Hayes

Railroad Excursion to Help the Hungry

PRLog (Press Release) – Sep 23, 2009 – Capture it all on film or digital at photo stops at Richland, and Woodbine where the Reading once crossed over the Pennsylvania RR. Three different photo stops provided during the day.
As a way to help feed the hungry in South Jersey all  passengers are encouraged to bring non-perishable food items to the train, which will be donated to local food banks in Ocean and Cape May counties.
The sponsors of the train believe that with the holidays just around the corner it is up to us all to help feed those who are having trouble in these trying times.  So while you are out enjoying a day on the rails with your family you can also be doing something good for someone  else.
This unique train will depart from the Tuckahoe railroad station at 10 am, run north to Richland, then south to Woodbine, and return to Tuckahoe about 4 pm.  (From Garden State Parkway exit 20 take Route 50 to County Route. 557, the station is at the railroad crossing.)
At Tuckahoe the beautifully restored Reading RR station, now a railroad museum, and the old switch tower will be open for all to enjoy (tower levers).  Free admission to both!  Also at Tuckahoe is a great variety of old locomotives and many old passenger cars. Some of this equipment operates and some awaits restoration.  Most are owned by the United Railroad Historical Society (URHS), who is sponsoring these trains in conjunction with the West Jersey Chapter NRHS and the Volunteer Railroaders Association.
The proceeds of the trip will go to the URHS to assist in restoration of its collection of nearly 70 locomotives, passenger cars, freight cars, and work cars.  So please come out for this unique trip! You’ll have a great day traveling through the Pinelands, riding America’s most unusual train, and seeing railroad buildings and artifacts from the golden days of railroading in New Jersey!
There are three fares for this trip.  Standard coach is $25 adults and $15 for children under 12.  In the Tavern Lounge Car (from the world famous Commodore Vanderbilt) the fare for everyone including children is $35.  The fare in the deluxe parlor car is $50 for everyone including children.

Reducing Theft with Cargo Seals by Stoffel

PRLog (Press Release) – Sep 22, 2009 – Shipping Cargo securely and getting products on shelves and racks of a store may be the biggest challenge retailers face.  Whether it’s the truck driver, dock worker, or stocking personnel, easy access to goods increases the risk of theft. Tamper-evident cargo seals provide an immediate indication if a shipment or container, or other sealed cases has been opened, pilfered or otherwise tampered with.  
The use of a tamper-evident cargo seal on a truck is the most cost-effective way to reduce cargo theft and deter tampering with a shipment.   Stoffel Seals has been the leading provider of the most highly effective and secure tamper-evident cargo seals for nearly seventy years.  The patented technology provides customers with the assurance that a cargo seal from Stoffel will be a reliable method of creating an audit trail for the shipments of goods traveling from destination to destination.
Stoffel offers an extensive cargo seal product line which includes high security seals, metal & plastic trailer seals, plastic strap pull-tight adjustable seals, tote & container seals.
Cargo seals that are designed specifically to secure high value shipments include the recently introduced SnapTracker™ & Locktainer™ bolt seals. Both of these cargo seals are C-TPAT ISO 17712 compliant high security seals that are used for cross boarder cargo shipments, trailer & container door latches.  Additionally, the FlexiGrip™ 350 & 500M Cable Seals are CTPAT/PIP compliant and can also be used to secure high value cargo deliveries.
Cargo seals such as tamper-evident trailer seals include plastic truck seals, flat & ball metal truck seals.  These cargo seals are light-weight, cannot be removed without evidence of tampering & include the company name & unique number identifiers which will track the cargo as it is shipped from one destination to another.
The Gemini™ Tote Seal & the Tevi-Tag™ Tamper-Evident Security Seal are cargo seals ideal for plastic totes. The Gemini Tote Seal secures plastic totes on both sides of the tote with “twin” numbered seals. The Tevi-Tag is the 1st security seal to incorporate a durable vinyl tag & tamper-evident cargo seal in one product.  This unique capability allows for the addition of various options such as bar coding and numbering, writable surface areas & preprinted information that previously could not be applied to a cargo seal.  
Cargo security is of the utmost importance to Stoffel Seals which is why they have been focused on product innovation & meeting industry needs since 1941. Stoffel is recognized for not trying to make one product fit all situations and pride themselves in developing custom security solutions.

This is why we have evolved from encasing ourselves in caves, to building comfortable abodes which speak for our species' intellect and learning capabilities. We build homes according to our needs and preferences and these structures depictour emotions, needs and feelings.
However,time to time  people need to move out into new homes due to various reasons ranging from; buying new homes to opting for a more status conscious life-style. Whatever the scenario is, moving to a new home is a hectic and stressful job. It needs management and organizational practices to be at their best.

Travel Guide Around Gettysburg, Pennsylvania

PRLog (Press Release) – Sep 10, 2009 – Holidays have been connected as part of our recreational playgrounds. Whenever we have a vacation we begin thinking of things to wander all over the place mainly weekend awayhideaway. Before we can get on to our holiday ride there are some matters we have to consider before we can cherish ourselves to holiday delight!  Breakis a term where we can relax from our very tiring hours of work. Every holiday has its perfect spot on where to squander out our hiatus period.
Vacations are part of our spare time, in our break from our lingering day jobs we find ways to have a break and use up some time with our friends and families, these are important things that we need to bear in mind before packing our gear and get away from the tiresome confines of our home. The absoluteproblem is “Where the hell are we going to sleep?”", some answers may say, spending the entire week to our grandmothers house or simply build a base camp on the riverbank which are not the best ideas.  Since it's your free time off from work doing dishes and taking the trash are quite daunting don't waste your sweat ditch it! Benefit from getting out  feel the gust of clean air by traveling to place you have never explored. Holiday is a cool time to loosen up enjoy what time offers you relax all you want!
Time to fill out and get out of that room pal! Hotels are like mushrooms, they spring up in all places. Now if you feel that cooking food for breakfast is a daunting chore, think again! Hotels can do the job for you while you take pleasure in riding your bed to relaxation. But before putting your foot to hotels you must also be concerned about certain matters before getting your keys. Cash has been a extremely huge issue to a comfy accommodation if you have a tight budget pass over those silver spoons and luxurious suites and find cheaper hotels which assesses your budget. If you are attracted to use a large amount of your days in a hotel you must take into account  things that would clearly get you high on the groove of serenity and ecstacy of relaxation, kick that financial problem out!
Comfort is associated to any sort of accommodations. From Hostels, apartelles, to motels, anything that have beds must be according to your taste. Five star hotels are in all places, depending on the tourist attraction prices may vary from hundreds to thousands a night. Everyone desires luxury with the lowest rates, before checking in and spending hefty money for hotel tips for bad bell boys, you should primarily take notice of the hotel services and its services. Is it worth it or not?
Hotels are not just recognized for the stars they carry and enormous chandeliers in the rear those bright lights.  Awareness to detail should be one of their finer qualities, a glass of sparkling water or a glass of champagne would do once you arrive at the reception area. This would give a good at home sense to their customers. Also pleasant hotel assistance should always go with its visitors, also carrying their bags respectfully with smiles would give the best impression. As a hotel visitors you are at liberty to any comfort you need, and as a hotel visitors you are oblige to praise their services by thanking for their assistance or by giving away those loose change.
At the rear of those brilliantly crafted facades, inside are amenities that are worth paying for. Well each guests must have their choices of meals, spa and fitness center etc., these are just few of the facilities beneath the roof of a five star hotel. These amenities are must have in a luxury five star hotel, if not any of these are offered all you have to do is walk out the door and get out . Well you don’t want your money roll out for nothing don’t you?
Choosing the best locations for your holiday holiday destination seems to set you in dilemma. Besides getting stressed out from work, burdens of choosing the right relaxation spot seems to beat you whenever the needs to loosen up sips into your thoughts. But if you’ll carry out a few inquiry to travel guide directories, shopping for hotel is as easy as eating beloved dessert.

Although it isn’t part of Mercedes‘ New York Auto Show exhibit, the 2010 S-Class marks a modest overhaul to the German automaker’s flagship luxury sedan. In addition to interior and exterior refinements, the new S550 and S600 come with a slew of new and improved high-tech systems, including safety and convenience features.
The S550 continues to be powered by a 382 horsepower V8 with optional 4MATIC all-wheel-drive.
One of the most noticeable changes across the lineup is the addition of daytime LED running lights fitted to the outer edges of the bi-xenon lamp units. The rear end is also accented with a total of 52 distinctively arranged LEDs in the two taillights. Gone are the body-colored strips through the taillamps.
Mercedes-Benz also makes more use of light as a styling element in the interior via the standard ambient lighting, now with a choice between three lighting moods: solar (amber), neutral (white) and polar (ice-blue).
Another noticeable change at the front of the car is a more pronounced arrow-shaped grille, plus a new front bumper with a light-catching contour and a chrome strip below the cooling air intakes. Exhaust tailpipes of all S-Class variants are now visibly integrated into the rear bumper. Mercedes-Benz says its engineers have also implemented specific aerodynamic measures to reduce wind noise.
Camera and radar-based driver assistance systems include Adaptive Highbeam Assist, Lane Keeping Assist and the Pre-Safe brake system linked to the proximity regulating radar, which intervenes autonomously before an impending rear-end collision. Other highlights include the Attention Assist driver drowsiness monitor and Active Body Control with automatic crosswind stabilization.
Engineers also managed to improve the night-vision system with the introduction of Night View Assist PLUS, which is equipped a special pedestrian detection function. The Pre-Safe braking system has also been improved to reduce injuries in unavoidable crashes. Mercedes says the car can apply maximum braking pressure automatically around 0.6 seconds before what is recognized as an unavoidable accident. The system therefore acts as something like an “electronic crumple zone,” Mercedes contends.
The multifunction steering wheel of the S-Class has been modified for improved aesthetics and feel. The rim and airbag module are now lined with soft premium leather as standard. The new, flatter airbag module also lends a sporty touch to the multifunction steering wheel.

Gulf of Aden Anti Piracy Devices, Alternative to Firearms

PRLog (Press Release) – Sep 10, 2009 – ISSG Holdings, Ltd. has conducted a large amount of research to produce their own anti piracy devices. The key to these devices, is that they are intrinsically safe for use on tankers. there has been a great deal of debate about the use of firearms on merchant vessels. Even if you do away with the liability issues and the flag state issues of firearms on vessels, there is still the issue of supplying firearms in the countries surrounding the Gulf of Aden and along the East African Coast.
ISSG Holdings, Ltd. feels that if you obtain firearms illegally and put  them on a vessel, then the shipping company is also involved in an illegal act. The last thing a shipping company needs is for their ship to be delayed and investigated, causing a delay in the delivery of their goods, and sometimes, apprehension of the vessel and Master.
What ISSG has developed, is intrinsically safe firearms alternatives such as pneumatically powered devices. Included in these devises are net entanglement systems and irritant foggers. It is very important to use a very strict rules of engagement when dealing with the pirates. Of course a situation can escalate, but at the same time, you must allow a situation to de-escalate. Use of force needs to be progressive in nature allowing for the pirate to stand down.
The two greatest keys to anti piracy operations are early detection and discernment of the aggressor, and the correct visible defensive posture. The next issue is the appropriate methodology that not only properly defends the vessel but keeps the shipping company from increased liability.
Some companies have come up with their own ways to defend ships and some of these ways actually put the crew of the vessel in greater danger than the actual defensive capability of the security team. The objective of a on board security team is to prevent the ship from being boarded, not to kill pirates.
The pneumatic powered devices used by ISSG Holdings, Ltd. give a great deal of flexibility to security operations and allow for a progressive use of force while having the ability to deny an aggressor access to the ship.

ISSG Holdings, LTD. is an international business company providing teams for anti piracy operations in the merchant shipping industry. Our company believes in vessel defense without the use of firearms.

Non-Emergency Transportation Services Plans 100 Franchise Locations to Meet Growing Need

PRLog (Press Release) – Sep 07, 2009 – Bernie Squitieri started off in the taxi business, imagining driving kids to school or riders to the mall, not shuttling the elderly to doctor’s appointments.  But when he moved his business to Arnold, MO that’s exactly what he was doing.  About this same time, Missouri implemented a managed health care program and federal Medicaid regulations mandated that the state provide transportation for eligible recipients to and from health providers.
Squitieri saw an opportunity.  He launched Express Medical Transporters in March 1996 and soon after it became the state’s largest for-profit, non-emergency transportation company. Today in St. Louis, EMT operates more than 170 vehicles, employs more than 200 employees and does more than 500,000 transports each year. In these dour economic times, EMT had its best year ever in 2008 with revenue surpassing $6 million.
In October 2007, EMT launched a franchising program.  With an ever-increasing senior population EMT offers countless revenue streams to its franchisees. A new Student Transportation Division is dedicated to providing routed and individual transportation for school districts.
While experience in transportation, healthcare or logistics is helpful, industry experience is not required.  “We teach our franchise owners everything they need to be successful,” Squitieri said. “We’ll teach you the transportation industry and how to grow your business.”
With EMT having proven its success and viability in the St. Louis metropolitan market, Squitieri said a research firm identified 157 additional markets throughout the country with similar non-emergency transportation needs. In fact, Squitieri said organizations and potential clients across the country contact EMT on a regular basis asking about expansion to their area.
“It’s really an attractive selling point to tell somebody that if you buy an EMT franchise, you could have business before you open your doors,” Squitieri said. “There aren’t many businesses that are in that position today.”  For more information on EMT or to start your own franchise please visit emtusa.net.

Terrafusion Heralds ‘Green Roads’ Movement In Leading Sustainability Publication Greenbiz.com

PRLog (Press Release) – Sep 01, 2009 – TerraFusion Inc. announces a general interest article, “The Importance of Green Roads” has been published by GreenBiz.com, an industry leading information center for sustainability and green business.  The article, co-authored by TerraFusion CEO, Omri Dahan, and Research Intern, Alex Goykhman, shares a high-level perspective on the economic and environmental dynamics of road building, points out some of the leading trends in making infrastructure development more eco-friendly, and essentially declares the beginning of what can be called the Green Roads Movement.
The article can be found at http://www.greenbiz.com/blog/2009/08/26/importance-green ....  
There is a growing movement in the transportation industry that along with greener cars, light rail and cleaner building materials, greener roads are required as well. But despite the fact that safe and environmentally friendly transportation is in all our best interests, the idea of a green road has received very little media attention.  Road construction is a billion dollar a year industry that lies almost entirely under most people’s radar and slo a concerted effort between industry and media to bring it into the public eye is required. This article highlights road construction's energy and carbon-intensity -- and how new technologies are now available to address this issue.
