Peak IT,  Dantel Announces Railroad Deployment of its Third Generation
WebMon™ Edge and Matrix Remote Surveillance Platforms


(PRWeb) December 19, 2006 -- Dantel, Inc. the leader in network surveillance
and management systems, announced today that its WebMon Edge and WebMon
Matrix were selected for deployment to monitor and protect the track side
assets of a major railroad operating in the northwestern United States.

The railroad industry has recently been acknowledged for their proactive
efforts in designing and implementing a comprehensive, intelligence-driven,
priority based blueprint of actions designed to enhance freight rail
security, said Dave Lauger, director of business development for Dantel.
The railroads are vital to our economy. In 2005, railroads carried
1,898,721 tons of commodities over 171,061 miles of track throughout the
States.

Our WebMon Matrix and WebMon Edge were selected to monitor and alarm the
track side assets deployed throughout this railroad's network. Some assets
include microwave radio sites, emergency generators, signal road crossings
and other remotely located sites. The Matrix was selected for the large
remote sites and the Edge was selected to monitor and protect the smaller
remote locations, added Lauger.

Dantel has been providing the railroads with innovative remote monitoring
solutions for over 30 years, said Alan Hutcheson, president and CEO of
Dantel. Due to elevated security concerns throughout the industry we
believe we will see strong interest in railroad applications for our third
generation remote monitoring platforms.

Hershey Felder, Zulu Musical Instruments, Essential To Develop Musical
Traditions In Africa


African music is the music of Africans who live in a large region of 50
nations, each with a special culture, history and language, South of Sahara.
Zulu musical instruments are part of this multilingual culture. African
music has some distinct characteristics: the use of repetition is one of
them. Another important characteristic is the polyphony; this is the
combination of different musical parts played simultaneously.

Liba Cohn,  Travel Insurance Assures Stress-Free Trip

Imagine you're scheduled for a pampering two-week vacation in Australia for
that much needed break with your family. Everything's set. You've already
filed a leave of absence a few weeks back and rescheduled business meetings.
The family's all psyched just with the thought of spending enjoyable time
visiting koalas, kangaroos, and the famed great barrier reef. Even if the
trip entails long hours on board a plane, it's all right. What's a little
inconvenience compared to the comforting vacation that awaits your family,
right? You and the rest of the family excitedly pack up for the trip days
earlier, checking and double checking the must-brings. Everything from
toothbrush to pantyhose are already stashed in the suitcases. Aside from
passports, what about the most important travel essential? Well, don't ever
think of leaving without securing a travel insurance! May it be for business
or leisure trips, travel insurance is definitely a must. You'll never really
know when travel hassles occur. As the no-brainer adage goes, you can never
tell. Securing an insurance would guarantee a genuine stress-free travel.

More likely than not, you've probably experienced the hassles of trip
cancellations and delays, and medical injuries while on a trip. These
mishaps not only cost a lot but also translates to headaches and other
manifestations of stress. Travel insurance, just like medical insurance and
other pre-need services, protect and save you from inevitable and
unfortunate circumstances way ahead of time. Think of it as a soft cushion
you can fall on when the airport personnel inform you of an abrupt change in
flight schedule or when you suddenly incur an injury on a vacation. When
incidents like these happen, you can be assured of refunds if you paid for
an insurance. There's a handful of insurances for travel depending on a
person's needs and preferences. You may opt for insurance for trip
cancellations in case you want reimbursements and you can't make it on
flight because of medical and personal reasons. This kind of insurance
usually covers the client's family members as well. So, if the father
cancels the trip due to heartburn, his wife and children are allowed to
waive theirs, too.

Another kind of travel insurance you should consider having is the one
specifically for trip interruptions. This insurance is applicable for any
valid reason, which may prompt a person to prematurely end his trip. With
this kind of insurance, you need not worry about the minor or major expenses
you've already paid for but can no longer use. You can also avail of medical
benefits like a helicopter ride to the hospital in case of emergencies.
Travel insurance surely comes in handy. Yes, you have to pay for it in
advance (which some people consider a hassle) but the pros of this service
more than make up for the supposed inconvenience.
