Global Pathogen Solutions, An Innovator in Safety from Bloodborne Pathogens is Awarded the EMS Expo 2008 Top Pick Award

Global Pathogen Solutions Inc., an innovator in safety tools for emergency responders and healthcare professionals, has been named one of the top 20 new products for 2008 by EMS Magazine.

Camas, WA (PRWEB) January 5, 2009

Global Pathogen Solutions Inc., an innovator in safety tools for emergency responders and healthcare professionals, has been named one of the top 20 new products for 2008 by EMS Magazine.

Global Pathogen Solutions'™ flagship product, the D. A.R. T. Pro™ (Dart Acquiring and Removal Tool), allows first responders to safely acquire, remove and store contaminated stun-gun darts from subjects who have been shot. A basic fear of first-responders who handle stun-gun darts is that they will inadvertently become stuck and become infected with the bloodborne pathogens of the person shot.

Mike Smith of EMS Magazine was enthusiastic about the new product, saying, "If anyone can give me one good reason why any rig responding to a 'patient tased' would do so without a D. A.R. T. (Pro), I'd love to hear it. I don't believe that reason exists."

"This device (D. A.R. T. Pro) reeks of common sense and practicality," Smith said.

D. A.R. T. Pro was recognized by the magazine as one of the top 20 new products for 2008. President Carson Linker accepted the award at the Texas EMS Conference November 24 in Fort Worth. EMS Magazine, the largest industry publication in the emergency medical services field, will feature the winning products in its January 2009 issue.

"Global Pathogen Solutions is excited to bring greater awareness to the public about the concern with bloodborne pathogen transmission," Linker said. "The recognition from EMS Magazine and this prestigious award sends a clear message that the industry is committed to making first-responders' safety a priority."

The life-threatening pathogens potentially found on stun-gun darts removed from subdued subjects are likely to include HIV, AIDS and various strains of hepatitis.

The current recommended method for removing stun-gun darts is either by hand or with a pair of pliers. Once darts are removed they are placed in a secondary container which could be no more than a plastic bag. The D. A.R. T. Pro eliminates the need to handle the darts or come in contact with the blood of a subdued subject. The device safely acquires and removes contaminated stun-gun darts in a clear, durable sharps/evidence container. Once the contaminated darts have been retracted into the X-TRACTOR Tip, the red locking cap is pressed over the end of the X-TRACTOR and securely locked in place. The container can then be safely handled, labeled and placed into evidence.

About Global Pathogen Solutions™:
Global Pathogen Solutions Inc. brings to the market innovative products that eliminate the risk of users being exposed to airborne and bloodborne pathogens encountered in the workplace. These products ensure the safety of employees of emergency medical services, fire departments, law enforcement, military, healthcare, and security agencies, while simultaneously protecting the responsible agency from increasing costs related to the testing, treatment and replacement of employees following an exposure.

Knight Frank Sells Two Southern Devon Care Homes On Behalf Of A Private Operator

Knight Frank Sells Two Southern Devon Care Homes On Behalf Of A Private Operator

Two South Devon care homes sold by Knight Frank for 2.3 million pounds on behalf of a private operator.

(PRWEB) June 2, 2006

On behalf of Ian Parkhouse, Knight Frank’s Healthcare team has sold two residential care homes in South Devon. Koppers Retirement Home in Kilmington, Axminster, registered for 24 clients, and Swallowcliffe Retirement Hotel in Seaton, registered for 30 clients, have been acquired by care home operator Whitegates Care for £2.3 million.

Julian Evans, Head of Healthcare, Knight Frank (http://www. knightfrank. co. uk) said: “The care homes appealed to a significant number of potential purchasers due to the maturity of the established businesses with proven profit levels that have been running for circa 20 years. We had an exceptionally high amount of interest from owner operators, small corporates, new sector entrants, and charities. The sale of these care homes presented a rare opportunity because of the nature of South Devon’s strong residential market that acts as a barrier to entry for new entrants.”

Koppers Retirement Home is an attractive residential care home registered for 24 clients in a prime village location. It is set in approximately 0.25 hectares of mature gardens, in the picturesque village of Kilmington, and is within a short drive to the East Devon coast.

Swallowcliffe Retirement Hotel is an imposing residential care home registered for 30 clients. It is set in approximately 0.52 hectares of landscaped gardens, in the town of Seaton, with magnificent views over Seaton Hole and the East Devon coast.

The businesses have been sold as a going concern. The existing management will remain in place.

Hot Peppers Stop Migraine Headaches

Hot Peppers Stop Migraine Headaches

A long term migraine sufferer has discovered the cure for migraine and cluster headaches through a very unlikely source -- hot peppers, and it works for basic sinus problems too.

(PRWEB) October 4, 2003

Since the mid 1980s, Wayne Perry has suffered from a severe form of migraine attack known as cluster headaches. He spent years in and out of the doctor's offices following every regimen ordered by his physicians, yet nothing ever worked. He found temporary unpredictable relief with different doctor prescribed drugs, but nothing was able to control his migraine episodes completely.

  By the mid 1990s, Wayne's attacks became so crippling that he was barely able to work, or sleep, or function as a normal human being. During this time, Wayne was a self defense instructor who trained police and civilians on the proper use of defensive pepper sprays.

  Then while teaching one of his pepper spray workshops, Wayne started to feel the onset of a migraine cluster attack. Feeling off balance and woozy, he got a little too close to a cloud of pepper being sprayed by one of the students. Of course as an instructor, he was used to the effects of pepper spray, but he had never been near a cloud of pepper during a migraine episode.

  As wayne began to choke and cough a little, he realized his migraine was suddenly disappearing -- something that never happened before. Even the special medicine he had for emergency migraines wasn't able to kock out a headache that fast. Wayne knew immediately this was connected to his breathing in the pepper spray. once the pepper contacted his nasal passages, wayne's nose began to run, and he felt the pressure of the migraine quickly fade.

  So Wayne began to research all he could about the health effects of hot peppers, and much to his surprise, there were lots of solid medical studies that showed hot pepper extract has been used successfully to combat migraine headaches. Unfortunately all the clinical studies used the pepper as a topical treatment applied to the temple, but although they had some success, wayne knew the connection was in the nose.

  So Wayne set out to find a way to introduce hot pepper extract into the nose without causing the same discomfort felt by the self defense sprays. Now after years of research and being his own human guinea pig, Wayne Perry has come up with an all natural nasal spray using hot pepper extract that successfully stops cluster headaches and most other migraines dead in their tracks. Most importantly, this formula works without causing the discomfort associated with hot peppers. in fact this new spray, Si-Cap, has less of a bite than some other non-pepper based nasal sprays, and it works a hundred times better. Si-Cap has also shown that it works for any kind of sinus related problem where congestion is a major symptom.

  Si-Cap is all natural, and it's a true breakthrough for the millions of people who suffer from migraine related attacks. As part of our plan for launching this product into the market place, we are offering a free bottle of Si-Cap to any accredited journalist or news organization interested in testing this incredible new migraine cure. By contacting us with your title and media credentials, we will send you a free sample of Si-Cap in hopes that the media will help spread the word to all the migraine sufferers who really need our help.

National Tanning Franchise Establishes Midwest Presence

National Tanning Franchise Establishes Midwest Presence

Executive Tans opened a branch office at the Oakland Commons in Southfield, Michigan, August 5th, 2002 to service an aggressive expansion into Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana. The extension is due to the explosive growth of the tanning industry and the great demand for proven, profitable business models able to offer entrepreneurs great chances for success

(PRWEB) August 22, 2002

Southfield, MI - August 5, 2002: Executive Tans opened a branch office at the Oakland Commons in Southfield, Michigan, August 5th, 2002 to service an aggressive expansion into Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana. The extension is due to the explosive growth of the tanning industry and the great demand for proven, profitable business models able to offer entrepreneurs great chances for success.

A credible market leader. For the past 12-years, Executive Tans focused its efforts on developing a distinct and thriving business model. 62+ stores later, the company is emerging as the leader in a young and growing industry, known for its ability to implement a strategic vision and keep its stores open and profitable for franchisees.

Industry consolidation coupled with market uncertainty and corporate mistrust presents the golden egg for many individuals interested in controlling their own destinies. Manageable operations, strong advertising and marketing support, and the opportunity to provide “feel good” services, put investors in charge of their finances once again.

According to Tom Stemple, Vice President of Franchise Development, “This is a business where our healthy culture can maintain their sanity. With over 32% of tanners claiming they tan to relax and escape the pressures of everyday life, our ability to offer immediate results in a cost effective manner serves as a tremendous draw for a strong and loyal customer base.”

 Stemple believes that while the 80Â’s and 90Â’s were all about creating an industry, the 2000Â’s will be about delivery and results. “Those that deliver and create programs that depend on results will undoubtedly gain market share. Those that canÂ’t meet that challenge are likely to go out of business.”

POET Receives Energy Star Award from EPA for Emission Reductions at Ashton, Iowa Ethanol Plant

POET Receives Energy Star Award from EPA for Emission Reductions at Ashton, Iowa Ethanol Plant

Cogeneration reduces CO2 by 18,900 tons emissions per year

Sioux Falls, SD (Vocus) June 17, 2008

An energy efficiency in POET (http://www. poetenergy. com)’s ethanol production facility near Ashton, Iowa, that saves 18,900 tons of CO2 emissions per year earned an Energy Star Combined Heat & Power Award from the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The facility is equipped with combined heat and power (CHP) that generates up to 7.2 MW of electricity and requires 16 percent less fuel than a conventional process.

POET Biorefining – Ashton generates electricity onsite with a natural gas-fired turbine. Heat recovered from the turbine’s exhaust produces 56,000 pounds of steam per hour to support ethanol production. This CHP system, also known as cogeneration, requires approximately 16 percent less fuel than typical onsite thermal generation and purchased electricity. The EPA estimates that the CO2 savings from this system is equivalent to removing the annual emissions from 3,100 cars or planting 3,900 acres of forest.

“Ethanol is the only available opportunity to decrease greenhouse gas emissions from our existing fleet of vehicles,” said Jeff Broin, CEO of POET. “At POET, we are dedicated to making the process of producing ethanol even more efficient and environmentally friendly so it’s an honor to be recognized by the EPA for the environmental benefits of the efficiencies built into our Ashton plant.”

POET was one of two ethanol plants to receive the award at the Fuel Ethanol Workshop in Nashville, Tenn. “EPA is proud to recognize the outstanding pollution reduction and energy efficiency qualities of both ethanol facilities by presenting these ENERGY STAR Combined Heat and Power Awards. These facilities in Iowa and Kansas are making improvements that contribute to a cleaner, healthier environment,” said EPA Region 7 Administrator John B. Askew.”

POET Biorefining – Ashton began production in April, 2004 near Ashton, Iowa. The ethanol production facility processes about 16 million bushels of corn into 56 million gallons of ethanol and 141,000 tons of Dakota Gold® Dried Distillers Grains each year.

This ENERGY STAR award recognizes projects that reduce emissions and use at least five percent less fuel than state-of-the-art comparable separate heat and power generation. To apply, projects must be in commercial operation, operating within the emission limits stipulated in their permits, and have a minimum of 12 months and 5,000 hours of measured operating data.

About POET
The largest ethanol producer in the world according to the Renewable Fuels Association, POET is an established leader in the biorefining industry through project development, design and construction, research and development, plant management, and marketing. The 20-year old company currently operates 23 production facilities in the United States with three more in construction or under development. The company produces and markets more than 1.3 billion gallons of ethanol annually. For more information, go to http://www. poetenergy. com (http://www. poetenergy. com).
