History has shown us how to fight in wars to safeguard our energy supply, how to leave waste in our path, and how to struggle with purposeful imbalances of resources.   We witness, everyday where our history has taken us and quietly hope that there will be an ace up our sleeve to ensure our bright future. 

Renewable energy is entering the mainstream of our lives and creating a new and exciting global economy and environmental revolution.  Wouldn’t it be obvious, then, that ensuring the project’s safety and the public’s safety would be the foundation that it rests upon?

I’d like to introduce Mr. Ken Daniel, CEO of Security Advisors Worldwide or SAW.  Mr. Daniel heads up an elite team of specialists who have circled the globe many times protecting the United States and serving humanity’s unending needs.  They are currently forging the path in a new type of industry that will not only protect our nation’s glory, but will also share that protection with the world. 

Welcome Ken.  As we sit here and speak, all eyes are on renewable energy and the possibilities it has for economic stability and glo

bal healing.  It looks as though it’s the answer we’ve been waiting for.  With its importance, however, also comes the need for its protection, and it sounds like SAW is the company to do it.  Tell me about SAW.

Mr. Ken Daniel:

SAW stands for Security Advisors Worldwide.  We were formed in April of 2008 following a conversation we were having with Henry Herman, of Jetstream Wind.  During the conversation, Henry interjected and asked if there was any way we’d like to look into renewable energy and the security issues that may arise around the new renewable energy program. 

With a collective Seventy-five years of experience we are good at what we do.  But learning about renewable energy technology, its unique security demands, and its potential for freeing us from our dependency on fossil fuels was very exciting. 

So, with the help of my friends and Vice Presidents, Clint Waldrop and Yudi Wong, we formed Security Advisors Worldwide.  We will be providing worldwide security and vulnerability assessments for all types of renewable energy, whether it be solar, wind, solar thermal, or hydrogen.

So security, as it were, is venturing into a whole new type of industry.  Are there any other companies like yours out there?     

SAW is the only security company of its kind.  Like the renewable energy industry, Security Advisors Worldwide was one of those unforeseen businesses created by the renewable energy push.  

For SAW, every project is a construction site first.  Whether the project is located in a remote area, away from everyday traffic, or next to the local high school, it’s essential to provide effective security on the construction site to begin with.

And so, what we do is provide assessments from the time that we first take a look at the dirt until one year after power is being generated.  SAW conducts risk assessments to protect our client’s projects against theft, vandalism, and those little things that slow down the time line of that project.  We assess not only the state of the physical security on site, but also the state of those people that are on the inside; safety concerns are also evaluated.  And with regards to insurance issues and potential insurance issues with these large energy facilities, we show due diligence to insure the safe and timely implementation of the renewable project. 

In a nut shell, we work hard to guarantee that the project has the opportunity to get off the ground.  We believe that security is a proactive commitment that says, “This is not an easy target”, regardless of where you’re located.” 

What projects have you been working on since you were formed?

Jetstream Wind became our first client in April of 2008 and we’ve signed an exclusive contract with them for five years.  Since then, we’ve been contacted by other energy programs to provide assessments of their security.  Taos Wind and Power, (Billy Lockwood, CEO), has also chosen to be under the watchful eye of SAW.  

What types of security and safety issues are you looking at?

I really give a lot of credit to Henry (Herman) at Jetstream Wind.  He had the foresight to realize that building renewable energy sites unprotected, had the likely potential of creating huge liability issues.  SAW believes that renewable energy companies must be more security conscious, protecting their valuable assets and finishing projects on time.  We want fifteen projects to spring up, but right now, our best efforts are going toward keeping the projects on time, which includes both safety and security.

Is there a difference between safety and security?

Well, if you just look at security, you’re missing an even bigger picture.  Safety is actually a big part of security too.  

First of all, you’ve heard the old phrase, “If you build it, they will come”.  People will come to the site to be inquisitive, curious, or to salvage items like copper, steel and other metals.  Then you’ve got the tools and equipment…there’s a 5.4 trillion dollar insurance loss on construction projects per year. 

You’re also going to have everyone from construction workers, electricians and technical experts at the site.  Each of these groups will require different security accesses and will work different hours.  To control all of this traffic and provide a safe and secure environment SAW will use “State of the Art” security systems to help in the monitoring.  

We’ll also be sure that basic first-aid training is provided as well as reliable ingress and egress routes for emergency vehicle access to the site.  You have to realize that most of renewable energy sites are located for off the beaten path. It’s important for Project Managers to know that their employees are well trained and will be taken care of while they’re on the job site.

Are these job sites going to be like other construction sites? As a renewable energy security company, do you consider the environmental impact of these projects?

Well, we’re going to have to put up some fences and barriers in the early stages of construction. These are renewable sites, however, and SAW intends to use as many passive systems as possible, leaving as small a footprint as possible.   

I love riding my Harley through the mountains, and I don’t want to see the landscape ruined any more than anyone else.  But there’s so much new and cost effective security technology out there in the way of infrared, cameras, and monitoring gear.  This will allow one person to easily sit inside the control room and monitor everything going on, and this goes back to my promise to Henry.  SAW will create the smallest possible footprint on the land for renewable energy areas, and leave the land as pristine as we possibly can.

That’s really nice to hear. 

Because you’ve had such an amazing military career, you probably see the world from a slightly different perspective than most of us.  So tell me, why did you choose this renewable energy path?  What’s the bigger picture for you?

We all realize the impact on people, gear, and equipment that comes from having to go someplace to bring the energy home.  If we can develop the energy here, maybe we won’t have such a need to go and risk that anymore.

I guess that when you pass through counties like the Middle East for example, and see oil burning in ponds everywhere, you realize that there’s gluttony in some areas and there’s a demand in others.  What I’d like to see is a more energy independent United States, without having to rely on foreign oil to get though our day-to-day business.

Also, standing on a beach outside of Phuket, Thailand watching the sun go down, made me realized what a pretty place the world is.  But if we don’t do something, we’re going to be continually creating our own mess.  We can do something right now.  And if SAW has anything to do with it for whatever our lineage is, then I think that this would be my legacy.

With the experience that you, Clint, and Yudi have had, do you believe that renewable energy will assist with National Security?  Are renewables a threat for terrorism?

Well, let’s take a look at what terrorism really is…Are we talking about international terrorists coming over here to wreak havoc on our wind farms?  Nah.  What would really be the point? 

Homeland Security sees renewable energy as security for the country.  The more secure our energy sources are, the more independent we are of other things.  The Department of Energy and Homeland Security realize this.  But these new and up-in-coming companies may not have the background in security and will have to hire companies like SAW to manage the security nuts and bolts.  Make them safe, make them secure so we can start producing the clean energy our country needs and wants.

Let’s talk about the economy and how it may effect renewable implementation here in the United States and also in foreign countries.

You can estimate that the construction of a renewable energy facility could take up to eighteen months before it’s producing power.   During this period, there’s going to be a great boost to the local economy, from the local gas station that has to fill up and service construction vehicles, to the local physical security company who will provide people, to the local hardware store that will supply all of those little things that you didn’t get but needed.

Internationally speaking, I’ll be going into Haiti soon, and one of my big questions is, “how can we secure the project and materials?”  Once the decision is made to go we will make sure that equipment stays where it belongs, which will help bring the project in on time.  This will require hiring from the local communities which will, in turn, strengthen that country’s economy.  And then, far beyond the initial construction and implementation, Haiti will have a continuous source of income for thirty years. 

Why are you going to Haiti?

I’m on my way to Haiti to do a renewable assessment for Jetstream Wind and to meet with a group of people that have just developed and opened a new hospital there.  Currently, they’re running it off of generators because the electrical issues in Haiti are very difficult. I’m scheduled to meet with the US AID for Haiti, the US Ambassador for Haiti, and several Prime Ministers.

This is the type of project that’s going to take years to complete and that will be there for years to come.  There are going to be people travelling in and out of that country and they need to feel and be protected.   

Can we speak again after you’ve returned from Haiti?  I’d like to hear about how it went.

Absolutely.  I look forward to it.

Do you feel that the government is doing everything that it can to assist in this endeavor?

Well, big oil companies, for example, have a profit/loss margin too.  They’re in business, you know, and they’ve been in business for a long time.  If the “government” was really serious about renewable energy, you would have power plants springing up called Chevron.  But it’s not happening that way.  It’s going to be the entrepreneurs and it’s going to be the hard-working people seeing it through. 

With the new president-elect, Barack Obama, and his policy on renewable energy, there are going to be some doors opening.  I think we all realize that we can’t do without (renewable energy) and none of us can turn our backs to what’s already going on.

Last question…There are plans for more nuclear power.  Besides waste and safety issues, these plants create security risks will require substantial security standards.  What role will your company be playing in this scenario?

Yes, from what I understand, the Department of Energy and other groups are looking at more nuclear power plants.  Nuclear power has been proven, right now, to be a decent energy source.  Yeah, it takes a lot of people to safeguard it, that’s because it’s such a powerful energy source.  How is SAW going to be involved with this? Well, if we do our job right, and Henry and other renewable energy programs are able to put as much power as they can on the grid, we’ll have to build less nuclear power plants. 

A renewable site can be torn down and the land can be put back to as close to pristine as possible, and the parts from the retired site can be used at other locations.  That’s a little harder to do with nuclear waste. 

I just really believe that nuclear energy was good for its time, and may still have a place in our energy future, but if we can safely and securely produce renewable energy and upgrade this country’s power grid to transport it, than do we even need nuclear energy?

Hmmm…Good question.  Thank you, Ken, for taking the time to show us a different side of renewable energy.   I believe that I remember you saying, “There are doors to be opened and so there will also be someone there to open them first.  But then, of course, they have to be the first one to walk through”. 

I hope, Ken, that I didn’t butcher that too much.  What I understood from it, though, was that companies such as SAW, Jetstream Wind, and Taos Wind and Power have already opened that door and aren’t afraid to be first. 

Thank you for all that you’ve done and will continue to do on behalf of so many others.

Increasingly, many Americans are looking to relocate overseas or adopt children from foreign countries. The number is at an all-time high and we are fast becoming a nation of global citizens. Of course, moving to a new country requires a little bit of work and a lot of paperwork. And there are strict requirements most countries maintain in what paperwork they will accept as valid.

That is where the apostille stamp or seal comes in. You may have never heard of one until your lawyer or foreign agency told you all your documents need one. In getting one, the first question you may ask is:

What the heck is an apostille stamp?

Apostille is a french word meaning “certification.” The pronunciation can be tricky, but most apostille offices in the U.S. pronounce it “a po steel”. The apostille as we know it today was born in 1961 when several countries agreed to use a common system for certifying documents so they could be recognized as authentic by foreign nations. This is called the Hague Convention and there are currently dozens of nations who are members, and therefore accept the apostille as a symbol of authenticity. So in essence, with an apostille your document is then “legalized” for use in that country.

How do I get an apostille seal?

Getting an apostille in a timely manner is not an easy task if you don’t know what you’re doing. That’s where the apostille services come in – and boy do they come in for a hefty price! You may have done an internet search for “apostille” and dozens of companies’ ads shoot up vying for your business. Unfortunately they make you pay dearly for their precious help. Just one document can cost upwards of $200, and some documents like transcripts can be as high as $600 per document. And then there are the one or two shady-looking cheaper services which will need a week or two to process your documents. What you save in money, you lose in precious time (and worry).

Got an extra few thousand dollars to apostille your documents?

I didn’t think so.

The fact is you don’t need an apostille service at all. With a little bit of knowledge, you can get your important documents apostilled fast and cheaply. For example, let’s say you have just three documents you need apostilled. With the average apostille company, you could pay upwards of $600 to get them done and returned to you in usually about 48 hours. With some “insider” information telling you exactly what you need to do and where and how to send your documents, you could get the exact same apostilles done in the same amount of time (or even faster in some cases) for closer to $35 for all three.

It’s a no-brainer. The apostille companies prey on your lack of knowledge and strict time constraints, and then gouge you for doing something you could easily do yourself.

Trust me, you don’t need to hire an apostille service.

My own personal experience with obtaining apostilles led me to create a manual for helping the average person do what the apostille companies do but for pennies on the dollar. I wanted to expose to the world how easy, secure and cheap it could be to get your documents apostilled.

Happy apostilling,

Shoes continue to hit the headlines, whether it is an angry journalist firing his shoe at a president, or the red sexy high-heels worn by a running-mate of a would-be presidential candidate.

In Tikrit, Iraq, Saddam’s home town, a statue of a copper and fiberglass shoe, the size of a lounge suite, with a plant growing out of it, has been erected to the journalist who flung his size 10 shoe at President George W. Bush. Bush received more than he had anticipated on his unexpected visit to Iraq when an agitated journalist bellowed from the crowd, “This is for the widows and orphans and all those killed in Iraq”. He then flung the shoe, having called the president “a dog”. Bush later joked about the episode, particularly as he had successfully managed to stoop out of the line of fire.

A poem, in honour of Muntadhar al-Zeidi, the Iraqi shoe-throwing journalist, has been etched on the statue. In a community where even displaying the bottom of your shoe to somebody is a sign extreme dislike, throwing the entire shoe is the greatest form of insult.

Quick thinking Iranian students saw the incident as a once in lifetime opportunity and developed a shoe-throwing challenge on campus. Arabs around the world are applauding the episode and fast thinking IT programmers promptly produced a series of online games. Game participants are able to connect the shoe with Bush, where the journalist failed.

The shoe company, which is laying claim to being the producer of the now celebrated shoe, also saw this as a once in life-time, life-revising Blue Moon Opportunity. Their sales have skyrocketed.

Grandmother of one and mother of five, Sarah Palin, the running mate for the would-be president in the recent presidential election campaign, was known for being an avid fashion devotee. Sarah wore a pair of bright red, 10 cm sexy high heels, Mussa by Apepazza, when a family photograph was taken. These were recently put up for sale on eBay by her niece, for a cool $2,025.
Creating New Jobs by Investing in High-Speed Rail

“Aunt Sarah gave me the shoes after I mentioned that I thought they were neat. They weren’t a very good fit for me, so I made up my mind to let somebody else get some fun out of them”, said Palin’s niece. “These are the very high heels that hit made the news”.

The eBay ad said the buyer would receive Authentic Red Naughty Monkey Heels, size 7.5 worn/owned by Sarah Palin and an autographed picture of her in the heels. The buyer would also be given the choice to have the shoes autographed by Palin.

A custom Sharpie Pen was made specifically for Palin for autographing, while on the Presidential Campaign. This pen will be the one used to sign the high heels if the buyer requests it.

One can only guess where the next shoe of fame will come from. Will it be the shoe the miracle girl, Sunday Rose, Nicole Kidman’s daughter, wears when she takes her first step, or the shoe Kate Middleton flings at Prince William as she finally leaves the royal courts? Middleton has been courted by the prince for five long heartbreaking years.

You just need to keep your eyes and ears open and make the most of every opportunity that comes your way. At Win A Resort we have a Blue Moon Opportunity for you, that could change your life.

Director of the White House Office on Health Reform Nancy-Ann deparle, Tina Tchen, and HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius host a stakeholder discussion on disparities in health care for minorities and low-income Americans. June 9, 2009. (Public domain)

A nurse is a health care professional who is engaged in the practice of nursing. Nurses are men and women who are responsible (along with other health care professionals) for the treatment, safety and recovery of acutely or chronically ill or injured people, health maintenance of the healthy, and treatment of life-threatening emergencies in a wide range of health care settings. Nurses may also be involved in medical and nursing research and perform a wide range of non-clinical functions necessary to the delivery of health care.

Nurses develop a plan of care, sometimes working collaboratively with physicians, therapists, the patient, the patient’s family and other team members. In the U.S. (and increasingly the United Kingdom), advanced practice nurses, such as clinical nurse specialists and nurse practitioners, diagnose health problems and prescribe medications and other therapies. Nurses may help coordinate the patient care performed by other members of a health care team such as therapists, medical practitioners, dietitians, etc. Nurses provide care both interdependently, for example, with physicians, and independently as nursing professionals.

According to the US Department of Labor’s revised Occupational Outlook Handbook (2000), “Registered nurses (R.N.s) work to promote health, prevent disease, and help patients cope with illness. They are advocates and health educators for patients, families, and communities. When providing direct patient care, they observe, assess, and record symptoms, responses, and progress; assist physicians during treatments and examinations; administer medications; and assist in convalescence and rehabilitation. R.N.s also develop and manage nursing care plans; instruct patients and their families in proper care; and help individuals and groups take steps to improve or maintain their health.”

The nursing career structure varies considerably throughout the world. Typically there are several distinct levels of nursing practitioner, distinguished by increasing education, responsibility and skills. The major distinction is between task-based nursing and professional nursing.

In various parts of the world, the educational background for nurses varies widely. In some parts of Eastern Europe, nurses are high school graduates with twelve to eighteen months of training. In contrast, Chile requires any Registered Nurse to have at least a bachelor’s degree.

At the top of the educational ladder is the doctoral-prepared nurse. Nurses may gain the PhD or another doctoral degree such as Doctor of Nursing Science (DNSc) or Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP), specializing in research, clinical nursing, etc. These nurses practice nursing, teach nursing and carry out nursing research. As the science and art of nursing has advanced, so has the demand for doctoral-prepared nurses.

Registered Nurses generally receive their basic preparation through one of three basic avenues:

Graduation from an Associate of Science in Nursing degree-granting nursing program (two to three years of college level study with a strong emphasis on clinical knowledge and skills) earning the degree of ASN/AAS or ADN in Nursing.

Graduation with a three-year (Diploma in Nursing) certificate from a hospital-based school of nursing (non-degree). Few of these programs remain in the U.S. and the proportion of nurses practicing with a diploma is rapidly decreasing.

Graduation from a university with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (a four – five year program conferring the BSN/BN degree with enhanced emphasis on leadership and research as well as clinically-focused courses).

There are also special programs for “LPN to RN”, for people who hold undergraduate degrees in other disciplines, and for paramedics or military medics. Graduates of all programs, once licensed, are eligible for employment as entry-level staff nurses.

A typical course of study at any level typically includes such topics as:

Anatomy and physiology
Microbiology
Pharmacology and medication administration
Psychology
Nursing ethics
Nursing theory
Nursing practice
Legal issues in nursing practice

All pathways into practice require that the candidate undergo clinical training in nursing. Care is delivered by the student nurses under academic supervision in the hospital and in other practice settings. Clinical courses typically include:

Maternal-child nursing
Pediatric nursing
Adult medical-surgical nursing
Geriatric nursing
Psychiatric nursing

While in clinical training, student nurses are identified by a special uniform to distinguish them from licensed professionals.

In many nursing programs in the United States, a computerized exam is given before, during and upon completion to evaluate the student and nursing program outcomes. This exam upon completion of the nursing program is done to measure a student’s readiness for the NCLEX-RN or NCLEX-PN state board licensure exam. The exam identifies strengths and weaknesses and provides the need for remediation prior to taking the state board exam. This is not a requirement of all nursing programs in the United States, but has increased its usage in the past three to four years.

It is common for RNs to seek additional education to earn a Master of Science in Nursing or Doctor of Nursing Science to prepare for leadership or advanced practice roles within nursing. Management and teaching positions increasingly require candidates to hold an advanced degree in nursing. Many hospitals offer tuition reimbursement or assistance to nurses who want to continue their education beyond their basic preparation.

Many nurses pursue voluntary specialty certification through professional organizations and certifying bodies in order to demonstrate advanced knowledge and skills in their area of expertise.

All U.S. states and territories require RNs to graduate from an accredited nursing program which allows the candidate to sit for the NCLEX-RN, a standardized examination administered through the National Council of State Nursing Boards. Successful completion of the NCLEX-RN is required for state licensure as an RN.

Nurses from other countries are required to be proficient in English and have their educational credentials evaluated by an association known as the Council of Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools prior to being permitted to take the U.S. licensing exam.

Government regulates the profession of nursing to protect the public. In the U.S., the individual states have authority over nursing practice. The scope of practice is defined by legislative and regulatory laws which are administered by State Nursing Boards.

Many states have adopted the Model Nursing Practice Act and Model Nursing Administrative Rules created by the National Council of State Nursing Boards (NCSNB). In addition, many State Nursing Boards model their licensure requirements on the Uniform Core Licensure Requirements which set forth competency development and competency assessment principles.

Nurses may be licensed in more than one state, either by examination or endorsement of a license issued by another state. In addition, the states which have adopted the Nurse Licensure Compact allow nurses licensed in one of the states to practice in all of them through mutual recognition of licensure.

Starting a community watch is the best step you can take to ensure the protection of your own home. Community watches are effective and the most cost efficient method to protect your neighbor from theft and vandalism. Starting a program may seem like a difficult undertaking, but it can be far simpler than you imagine.

It doesn’t take a great deal of commitment to begin a Community Watch Program. Have consistent planned meeting and distribute a monthly newsletter. Your neighbors will do more that just keeping an eye out for home burglary.

Typically wacth programs are known for there ability to reduce crime and enhance protection, but more often that not they go far beyond these points. Community watch areas have less automobile theft and incidents of mugging. A community watch can also alert the authorities, such as the local fire station or paramedics, when non-burglary incidents or accidents occur.

Community watch programs will ensure your home is safe if you go on vacation or must travel for work. A lower crime rate can benefit the community in numerous ways, including increasing the value of properties. You can begin a program in your community right now.

Your community will need to come together periodically to be effective. Some groups have weekly meetings, others monthly, and still others hold them semiannually. Your schedule should accommodate your life as well as those of your neighbor’s. You will need some community communication to keep all aware of changes, incidents, or issues that everyone needs to address.

Pres. Obama’s First State of the Union Address

Many communities find open communication makes their programs far more effective. You should have a means of contacting your neighbors, for emergencies and to share any important news. This can be through a phone chain, email, telephone, or any other communication method. Most importantly, by simply displaying a sign in your window, children will know which homes they can go to for safety and feel comfortable asking for assistance if need be.

Some community watch programs charge a small annual fee for membership within the community. This should only be a minor amount per year with all proceeds going to public signs, pamphlets or promotional materials for new members, and to provide refreshments or materials for meetings. The greatest reason that community watch programs are effective is that they are primarily free.

Be sure to always inform local law enforcement agencies that you have organized a community watch program in your neighborhood. The authorities can provide your group with information on local crime rates, the most common criminal activity, and the best methods of preventing crime on a local level.

If you still have more questions, a great source of information is another successful comunity watch pogram.

The President takes questions from Republican members of the House of Representatives at the GOP House Issues Conference in Baltimore, MD. January 29, 2010.

The past of Panama is filled with civil wars and revolutions. However with the invasion of the United Nations, and then the withdrawal of the US troops, the country has become a lot more stable. In fact calling it just stable is an understatement. The country is today one of the fastest developing nations in the world. There are many developments that are taking place in the country and Panama property. The most important factor is the expansion of the Panama Canal. The Panama Canal is a very important route that makes it easy for the ships of east coast to reach the west coast and vice versa. Therefore maintenance of this canal is very important and it is also a major revenue earner for the country and Panama property. The canal helps to maintain steady income to the country. The canal also promotes a valuable eco system in Panama real estate. This canal plays host to about 12000 ships in the every year. This greatly promotes tourism in the country. Tourism is another important income for the country. With Panama real estate selling like hot cakes tourism has gone up leaps and bounds. Panama is becoming the ideal vacation spot for people from all over the world. Today Panama property is going well up for sale in the world. There are many foreign investors who are looking to invest in Panama real estate. This not only helps in the development of the country but also aids in the development of the Panama real estate. Even the inhabited places today are coming under scrutiny for development.

The government only is making it easier for the country and Panama property to develop. This is done by making it easy fro the foreign investors to invest in Panama real estate. The foreign investors are given lucrative incentives like tax cuts etc. for them to invest in Panama real estate. Also the immigration laws are made simple and easy so that it is easy for people to settle down in Panama property.  Areas like the mountain ranges are also being developed. But this is done by keeping the environment in mind. There is a delicate balance maintained between property development as well as environmental development. For every tree that is cut there are more planted. The flora and the fauna are encouraged to grow in the country. This helps in maintaining the eco system as well as developing the Panama property at the same time. Also these changes make sure that the weather and pollution of the country is not effected.  With all these development under its belt Panama looks towards the future. There are a number of treaties planned with the United States and these are for the development of the country. There are also further talks about the development of the canal. This will further increase the progress of the country. The country is a first world country in many ways. Also it is among the fastest developing countries in the world today. With all these facilities available it moves towards the future with the fastest speed.
