FAAC's Lauded Crew Trainer Returns to Its Origins

0

New Simulator's Concept was Defined at IAFC Innovation Conference 

Ann Arbor, MI (PRBuzz.com) July 25, 2013 -- The groundswell of interest generated by FAAC's new Crew Trainer© driver training simulator system is expected to continue into the halls of the FRI conference next month in Chicago.

FAAC's new Crew Trainer, enabled with its proprietary new 2View© technology onboard, uses 3D technology to affix a separate viewing angle - one for the driver and a separate, visually correct viewpoint for the second front-seat crew member - for each student in the simulator. The result is that for the first time both students get the same view and, thus, the same learning opportunities.

"We are excited to bring the Crew Trainer to FRI because essentially this concept began at the IAFC Innovation Conference," said David Bouwkamp, FAAC's Executive Director of Commercial Business Development. "It was at that conference that we received the positive feedback to the Crew Trainer that we needed to begin making the physical product. It will be satisfying to share with them the result of their inputs."

FAAC officials were invited to the 2013 IAFC Innovators Conference and conducted a presentation of the Crew Trainer simulator. After receiving input from the chiefs and instructors in attendance at the conference, they set forth on a design and build plan and schedule.

The prototype Crew Trainer was unveiled in March at FDIC and company officials asked for attendee input through a survey. Survey questions gauged participants' overall reaction to the simulator, whether the system had a practical application in their driver training program, and if the Crew Trainer could help them achieve their training goals..

Survey results were overwhelmingly positive, and respondents gave many examples of how they would incorporate a second learning seat into their driver training program. Ideas ranged from initial incident command to train the trainer programs for officers teaching new apparatus drivers.

The Crew Trainer simulator is scheduled to be onsite at the FRI Conference in Booth #4106 Aug, 16 and 17 in Chicago.

Since FAAC engineers unlocked its proprietary 2View capability, an entirely new training landscape has emerged.

For the first time, fire departments can train their drivers and officers in a collaborative learning environment that builds critical teamwork experience and the oversight skills necessary to comply with national training standards. Officers must be provided training because they are ultimately responsible for the actions of the vehicle driver, according to driver training standards set forth by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA 1500: A6.2.4).

Training capabilities include:

- officer roles and responsibilities to conform with NFPA standards;
- teamwork, collaboration, and communication between driver and officer;
- initial on-scene command strategies and tactics;
- proper radio communication between dispatch and other responders;
- evaluation and coaching skills for officers, and
- in-cab equipment operation.

"The problem in the past with two-seat simulators was that the view from the officer seat was not configured properly for its position in the simulator," said Bouwkamp. "As a result, the student in that second seat sees a skewed image of the virtual driving world and soon becomes sick from the distorted view."

2View technology can separately compute and render the same scene from two unique points of view, which enable both driver and officer to process their own full-screen image separately from each other in perfect, high-definition quality. While not new to the military and aviation industries, this dual-view technology is a first in commercially affordable simulation applications.

"It will be exciting to watch departments bring these 2View simulators on board and see how they use that second seat to expand their current training programs," said Bouwkamp. "We are proud of our engineering team that they were able to design that second viewpoint from the officer's seat. It was not an easy task, but this is where FAAC excels - understanding the training demands and objectives and then putting our resources to task to find the solution."

ASDS Survey: Consumers rate soft-tissue treatments tops; choose dermatologic surgeons most often for

0

Rolling Meadows, Ill. (PRBuzz.com) July 25, 2013 -- Consumers are satisfied with soft-tissue filler treatments 92 percent of the time, a procedure they seek more often from dermatologic surgeons than other providers, according to survey data released by the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery.

The first-ever ASDS Consumer Survey on Cosmetic Dermatologic Procedures asked more than 6,300 consumers for their opinions on cosmetic treatments in general and ratings for 10 specific procedures - from ultrasound/light treatments and body sculpting to laser hair removal.

Although tied with the highest overall satisfaction rating of the 10 categories (92 percent - with wrinkle-relaxing injections), soft-tissue fillers received the highest "extremely satisfied" rating (45 percent) from consumers. Another 47 percent said they were "moderately satisfied."

Soft-tissue fillers add volume to facial creases and folds that have lost fat and collagen through aging. Through a few tiny facial injections, skin is rejuvenated by reducing or eliminating wrinkles, raising scar depressions, enhancing lips and replacing soft-tissue volume loss.

Several types of fillers - each with its own specific purpose or purposes - are available, including Juvederm (Allergan), Radiesse (Merz), Restylane/Perlane (Medicis) and Sculptra (Dermik).

While survey respondents listed excess weight as their greatest cosmetic concern, more than half also are bothered by conditions treatable with soft-tissue fillers - mid-face folds and wrinkles, skin texture, sagging facial skin and lines and wrinkles around the eyes.

ASDS members performed more than 917,000 soft-tissue filler treatments in 2012, up 10.4 percent from the nearly 831,000 treatments performed in 2011, according to the 2012 ASDS Survey on Dermatologic Procedures.

"ASDS members have the training and expertise that makes them the obvious choice for patients to achieve the desired results with minimally invasive treatments," said ASDS President Timothy C. Flynn, M.D. "ASDS members are the skin experts."

More than half of survey respondents (53 percent) said they are considering soft-tissue fillers in the future. When asked why they have not yet had a treatment, respondents listed cost (78 percent), concerns over not getting the desired results (32 percent) and uncertainty about which practitioner to see (23 percent) as the most common reasons.

The 5 percent of survey respondents who had soft-tissue fillers indicated that dermatologists were their physician of choice and, of those, more than three out of five say their treatment was performed by a dermatologic surgeon.

"As consumers become more interested in cosmetic procedures such as soft-tissue fillers, they are increasingly turning to ASDS members," Dr. Flynn said. "Advances in technology have made many of these procedures more affordable today than they have ever been."

Consumers undergoing more than one cosmetic procedure rated soft-tissue fillers (21 percent) as the procedure that gave them the second best result, behind only wrinkle-relaxing injections (26 percent).

Tornado Shelter Featured on The List Television Show

(PRBuzz.com) July 25, 2013 -- A tornado shelter manufactured in Ohio was featured on "The List", a prime time television show that features stories from many regions of the country. The Granger ISS in-ground storm shelter was featured in a story on July 18, 2013 covering emergency preparedness and specifically how to be safest during a tornado. The story gained the interest of the Cincinnati regional editor for the show due to the tumultuous seasons in recent years. It was also a point of interest that the manufacturer of the highest quality single family unit is based in the region.

The story featured Linda and Ted Nichols of New Richmond, Ohio who found themselves in a situation many homeowners face. They do not have a basement or cellar in their home and were unsure what to do when the sirens that signify storm danger were set off. It is a common reality that many homeowners do not have a safe place to go in an emergency and it is factual knowledge that the safest place to be in a tornado is an in- ground shelter designed to protect you from that type of danger. It was their decision to take their family's safety into their own hands that prompted to them to have a storm shelter installed in their back yard. "Before we heard sirens we didn't know what to do per say and so we know what to do now is get in the shelter. It's a very good secure feeling to have this," said Ted Nichols.

Having a unit installed is a simple and fast process essentially consisting of digging a hole, placing the shelter inside and filling in around it. "Once inside the shelter turn the lights on. You will lock three point locking system on the door. You have two sources of ventilation in the unit through the door and in the vent," said Shawn Cravens of Granger Plastics Company. The cost of the unit is approximately $7000. Linda says money well spent to protect her family. "To know that this house can be replaced and we can not so that's the reason we spent the money," said Linda Nichols. "The List" airs in Cincinnati, Baltimore, Cleveland, Phoenix, Tampa and Tulsa.

Granger Plastics Company is a rotational molding company based in Middletown, OH. Granger utilizes plastic to make safer products for many industries and specializes in custom designed products that require excellent design. A world renown rotational molding leader and in business for almost two decades, Granger Plastics has never seen a greater interest in safety products including the Granger ISS - In-ground Tornado Shelter.

Rotational Molding Utilized Increasingly for Product Conversion

0

(PRBuzz.com) July 25, 2013 -- Rotational molding is being utilized to convert products made out of other materials into polyethylene. Fiberglass, metals such as aluminum and steel, as well as other types of plastic applications are all being redesigned to be rotomolded. Rotationally molded products have a variety of advantages including longer lifespan, durability, lower maintenance costs and ease of repair. Polyethylene's superior molecular structure makes the transition a logical choice for manufacturers of a wide variety of products in a number of industries.

Granger Plastics Company, a rotomolding leader based  in Middletown OH has been quoting an increasing number of product conversions. Over the past two years the company has also embarked on two lines of proprietary rotationally molded products unique to their industry. ForeverSafe Products is a line of theft deterrent cemetery products that are rotationally molded offering a high quality alternative to bronze and other metal materials which are often stolen for scrap metal. The company also launched Granger Aerospace Division in 2012 which offers a revolutionary air cargo container line providing a much lower cost of ownership for these valuable items. These lines are seeing great success in the midst of Granger's ongoing commitment to its custom manufacturing customers which are also adding a number of new rotomolded products to their orders.

Often, once a company converts one product to rotationally molded polyethylene there are many more opportunities to increase the savings through converting other products. One of the products Granger has converted from fiberglass to polyethylene is a rear trailer cone for Precision Motor Transport Group, a World leader of hauling high end luxury vehicles and sports cars. This cone is placed on the back of car hauling equipment to defer rear impact away from the vehicles inside should an accident happen in transportation as well as offer protection from damage that may occur from road debris. The following is a testimonial as to how this conversion has performed in the field.

"Having introduced the world's first all-polyethylene rear trailer 'cone' as the replacement for 'cones' that have historically been fiberglass, we are pleased to advise that the new PolyCone produced by Granger Plastics Company is performing well in the field: Better impact resistance, better scuff resistance and lower cost. When a PolyCone is dented in the field, we just push it back into its original shape and send our enclosed car hauling equipment back on the road. Damage to fiberglass has always required bodywork to repair. We are pleased with the results of our material conversion project with GPC.
Jim Prang
Director of Maintenance
Precision Motor Transport Group
Okemos, MI"

Other products being converted to polyethylene are tanks, housings, seats, carts, pallets and a variety of other containers. Granger Plastics specializes in analyzing product conversion to determine if it is advantageous. Price, durability, maintenance and repair are all evaluated and compared. Granger Plastics is a World leader in rotationally molding innovative products. Granger offers a full service facility including engineering services, mold shop, manufacturing, stock programs and order fulfillment.

Appliance Repair Company in Calabasas Offers Advice to Residents

0
0

(PRBuzz.com) July 25, 2013 -- Calabasas, CA - The experts at Active Appliances like to share information that can help their customers save money. One way to do that is by answering the fix it or replace question. When it comes to appliances, this is a dilemma that most homeowners face at one time or another. Information is key when making the right decision and Active Appliances can help one to make the right decision. For Further information visit http://www.appliancerepaircalabasas.org/ or call 888-882-2848.

Arthur Ashkinazi, owner of Active Appliances works with the customer's best interest in mind. He has come across many customers who insist an appliance be repaired when he knows that it should be replaced. Though some other company might welcome the opportunity to charge a customer for a costly and sometimes wasted repair, he has walked away from many of these service calls. He knows that the customer will only be upset when the appliance breaks down again, which it is sure to do if it is old and worn out.

The Active Appliances' appliance repair specialists suggest several factors to consider when deciding if they should repair their broken appliance or if it is time to retire it and buy a newer model. Important factors include the age of the appliance, its performance history, the cost of repair and the likelihood of 3 to 5 years performance as a result of repair.

Other factors that can determine a decision include being too attached to an appliance. Some customers may even live in denial because they are happy with past performance of the appliance and can't see the forest for the trees. The appliance may look good with surrounding décor or the owner may be very familiar with its features and not want to learn a new appliance or put in the time and effort required to shop for a new appliance. Whatever the reason, sometimes it takes effort for the customer to realize that it is simply time for a new one.

Active Appliances' service technicians will give their customer an honest opinion before performing an expensive appliance repair service that is not in their best interest. On the other hand, they will do their best to repair an appliance to save the customer the cost and hassle associated with replacing it.

Though new appliances with time and energy saving features can tempt consumers to buy new ones, many are hesitant to spend the money. They prefer to keep their old appliances working as long as possible. Sometimes it is best to cut one's loses and move on, however.

Recognizing the need for dependable, honest appliance repair company, Arthur opened Active Appliances. They have grown tremendously in the last 25 years and now provide appliance service in Calabasas, Burbank, Beverly Hills, Agoura Hills, Hollywood and the whole Las Angels area. Active Appliances' appliance repair specialists provide home appliance service for most major brands including Whirlpool, Maytag, Kitchen Aid, Jenn Air, Amana, Admiral, magic Chef, Electrolux, Frigidaire, Tappan and Samsung, to name a few. Visit http://www.appliancerepaircalabasas.appliancerepairnola.com or call 888-882-2848 to learn more.

Prolexic Secures US$30 Million Series C Financing Led by Trident Capital & Intel Capital

(PRBuzz.com) July 25, 2013 -- Prolexic Technologies, the global leader in Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) protection services, announced today it has closed a US$30 million Series C funding round led by new investors Trident Capital and Intel Capital. Prolexic's existing shareholders include Kennet Partners, Camden Partners and Medina Capital.

This latest round of financing comes at a time when Prolexic's year-over-year revenues have increased 65 percent, while remaining EBITDA positive.

Following the Series C investment, Trident Capital's Managing Director Gustavo Alberelli will join Prolexic's Board of Directors. "For the past two years, I have seen companies and government agencies around the world repeatedly select Prolexic for DDoS protection, cementing the firm's position as market leader," said Alberelli. "I'm excited to continue working with Prolexic management and providing Trident's IT security expertise to help Prolexic continue its rapid expansion."

The Series C financing comes in the aftermath of two of the largest DDoS attacks ever seen in the industry. So far in 2013, Prolexic has successfully mitigated the single largest attack in its 10-year history (167 Gigabits per second), as well as the world's most powerful attack campaign (144 million packets per second). To keep pace with bigger, stronger and more sophisticated attacks, Prolexic will use the new funding to expand its worldwide scrubbing center footprint, increasing the capacity of its cloud-based DDoS mitigation platform beyond 1 Tbps, and to develop new cloud-based security services. Prolexic currently operates four scrubbing centers located in London, Hong Kong, San Jose and Ashburn, Va.

"We are pleased to partner with seasoned security investors like Trident Capital and Intel Capital," said Scott Hammack, chief executive officer of Prolexic. "With this additional funding, we will be able to accelerate a number of strategic initiatives as we continue to expand our portfolio of cloud-based products and industry-leading DDoS protection services."

OLFACTORY BIOSCIENCES CORP. ANNOUNCES BREAKTHROUGH FOR 1/3 OF THE AUTISM SPECTRUM.

0
0

PHILADELPHIA (PRBuzz.com) July 25, 2013 -- Olfactory Biosciences Corp (OLFC) today announced the release of NOXO Autism Aid™, an all-
natural formulation which may help nearly 1/3 on the autism spectrum that are hypersensitive to odors, amounting to millions worldwide.

All products are immediately available at: http://www.noxoinfo.com/autism.html

The new NOXO Autism Aid™ is a vanilla-scented balm which is applied topically, under the nostrils. The proprietary formulation helps settle brain waves and effects the resulting autistic behavioral patterns by sending scent molecules into the child's system where they entirely bypass the brain-blood barrier. These molecules move directly to the brain's tiny, hair-like olfactory nerves which capture the aroma of NOXO's formulation of Phytonutrients and Phytochemicals and transport their "messages" directly to the brain's limbic system, which controls emotion.

One comment tells the whole story from Todd & Margaret (INKA) Inkarespite in Autstralia

I ordered NOXO balm from your webpage and it has worked wonders. It completely stopped this attraction to odours as well as      reducing many other self-stimulation behaviours. My husband and I live in Australia and have a farm which we use as a respite camp for    children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. We have used NOXO for other children at the camp as well who are sensitive to certain smells.  Parents purchase NOXO balm for themselves to use at home and school.

NOXO Autism Aid™, is a special proprietary formulation of Phytonutrients and Phytochemicals taken from plants, flowers, roots and seeds, designed to have far-reaching applications for ASDs around the world.

NOXO Autism Aid™, is gel, applied topically under the nostrils, specifically formulated to block the physical discomfort, retching, nausea and vomiting associated with offensive and unpleasant odors. NOXO's innovation is to control the effects of offensive and unpleasant odors at the olfactory receptor site. Whereas other products attempt to control bad odors at the source.

Uniquely-formulated NOXO Autism Aid™ is based on advanced, olfactory, perception-altering technology developed by Dr. V. Ruth Pinney, a director of Olfactory Biosciences Corp. Dr. Pinney also conducts the research for the company's products at her research facility in The Woodlands, Texas.

The new NOXO Autism Aid™ is supplied in an 0.75 oz tin containing over 100 applications for $ 49.95.

Aidmatrix Deploys Equipment from Brocade to Support Centers of Excellence Education Initiatives in Slovakia
Aptech Europe uses equipment to train future technologists and demonstrate the accessibility of careers in the IT sector.

Orchestrated by longtime partner, TechSoup Global, the gift enables the program to give hundreds of youth at vocational secondary schools across Slovakia hands-on experience in the fundamentals of networking technology.

Original Co-Founding Father Gang Leader Of The Crips Signs Global Book Deal

0
0

(PRBuzz.com) July 25, 2013 -- VIP Ink Publishing, L.L.C. recently signed Angelo "Barefoot Pookie" White for an autobiography. Angelo "Barefoot Pookie" White is one of the original co-founding fathers of the Los Angeles, California gang called the Crips. White also has been featured in three documentaries Gangland - Crip or Die, Inside the Bloods and Crips L.A. Gangs and Peacemakers which aired across the globe.

White's amazing journey will take its reader on a never ending thrill ride from being born into gang-banging to finding Christ and leading the lost to the Christian Cross. His autobiography will give readers for the first time an in-depth look into the mind set of "cripping" and the movement of the largest most dangerous gang in Los Angeles. White's story will also detail the history of the birth of the Crips gang with Raymond Washington and the original Baby Avenues from 1969, which copied the political activities of the organization the Black Panthers.

After twenty years of warfare between the Crips and the Bloods, White was instrumental in helping bring about the first gang truce in South Central Los Angeles. He has also worked with super star rapper Ice T in Los Angeles with a gang truce called "All In The Same Gang". White now works with two organizations which educated our youth about gang violence called Cease Fire and Peace Protocol. He also has organized his own safe passage program called CHAMPS which works with many of the schools and churches in the state of California to help counsel children about gangs.

Angelo "Barefoot Pookie" White's autobiography titled "Crips to Christ" is nothing short of spectacular. His story of building one of Americas most destructive gangs to how God changed his life and now uses him as an example of how the Blood of Jesus was shed for our salvation, will touch the hearts of millions.

Food Safety Group Applauds Recent American Medical Association (AMA)

0
0

(PRBuzz.com) July 25, 2013 -- Fukushima Fallout Awareness Network (FFAN) today applauded the recent American Medical Association (AMA) resolution that calls on the U.S. government to test all U.S. seafood for radiation and fully report the results to the public. The AMA joins FFAN in demanding the public's 'Right to Know' regarding radiation levels in food. The California Medical Association (CMA) initiated the resolution.

In March of 2013, in response to the worst ongoing nuclear disaster in history at Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power station, FFAN coalition member groups Beyond Nuclear, Citizens for Health and Ecological Options Network filed a legal Citizen Petition through the official process of the United States Department of Health Services Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

The FFAN Citizen Petition points out that the U.S. currently has the highest allowable limits for radioactive Cesium 134 and 137 in the world, 12 times higher in fact than Japan's. "Food and beverages that are considered far too dangerous for consumption in Japan can be exported to U.S. citizens, including vulnerable children and pregnant women. This is an outrageous radioactive loophole that our lawmakers and FDA must address immediately," states Kimberly Roberson, FFAN Director and author of "Silence Deafening, Fukushima Fallout." Roberson continues, "We appreciate the AMA's call for testing and encourage all to speak out for the additional steps required to protect our children as the current U.S. limits are still dangerously high."

To that end, FFAN has petitioned the FDA to accept their petition into official process and lower the amount of man-made radiation currently allowed in U.S. food, nutritional supplements and pharmaceuticals.

After the nuclear reactor at Chernobyl exploded, children in Belarus were found to have heart and hormonal problems with approximately 1% of the current U.S. limit for radioactive Cesium in their bodies.

"We must demand our right to know what's in our food, nutritional supplements and pharmaceutical products. The National Academy of Sciences has stated that there is no safe dose of radiation, therefore we reject the current FDA radiation in food policy. The limit the FDA has set will doom a certain number of people to unnecessary disease, particularly children who are much more vulnerable to radiation," says Cindy Folkers of Beyond Nuclear.

On July 10, 2013, the Japan Times reported that rising radioactivity levels in seawater off the coast of Fukushima measured 90,000 times more than officially "safe" drinking water. This is in ocean water that migratory fish, such as bluefin tuna spawn and swim in before crossing the Pacific to U.S. coastal waters. Bluefin tuna caught off San Diego in an August 2012 study demonstrated elevated amounts of Cesium 134 and 137, which are considered characteristic isotopic markers for Fukushima radiation.

Both AMA and FFAN want a national database, and we invite others to join us in demanding that FDA reduces the amount of radiation permitted in our food.

Fukushima Fallout Awareness Network (FFAN) is a coalition of groups and concerned citizens working for safe food policy in the U.S. For more information please visit www.FFAN.us and www.silencedeafening.com
