Vehicle Surveillance for Asia-Pacific events

In 2009 alone, the Hong Kong exhibition centre (HKCEC) has held 111 exhibitions, 36 conventions and over 1500 events and banquets. Each year, millions of guests visit HKCEC for various conferences and events. Like the HKCEC, many high traffic venues around Asia are becoming international platforms and security for such sites are becoming increasing difficult to maintain.

One of the latest security equipment available today to scan vehicles travelling in and out of venues is the BDL Systems CUVSS (Colour under Vehicle Surveillance). Distributed in Asia by Manifest Marketing Hong Kong this system provides a colour, high-resolution image of the underside of any vehicle -- and can capture the image even if the vehicle is moving up to 30mph. It’s available in two types: the static which should be engineered into a roadway and the mobile which can be relocated when the need arises.

BDL Systems CUVSS has been designed to give hassle-free, fast and efficient method of checking the undersides of the car for both the security personnel and the customer. All the functions are operated on a touch screen monitor that allows the operator to zoom. Vehicles can continue to move over the area with up to 30 km/hr speed and still can be captured by BDL Systems CUVSS. BDL Systems CUVSS also consists of a scene camera for taking images of the vehicle plate number and the driver.

It’s, no doubt, a vital equipment for recognizing suspicious packages like explosives and firearms or illegal substances embedded in the undersides of the vehicles. The mobile CUVSS is ideal for aiding security at large scale events or high-profile exhibitions, conferences, or meetings.

BDL CUVSS is available from Hong Kong-based company Manifest Marketing. Visit their website for more information: http://manifest-hk.com.

Phonak awards Hong Kong-based Company Manifest Marketing

Phonak, the Swiss R&D company and manufacturer of advanced security oriented semi-covert and covert digital wireless communications and earpieces, presented Manifest Marketing an Award of Excellence for its sales success in 2009/10.

This award was presented to Manifest’s Graham Parkes in Kyoto at the Phonak Asia Distributors Meeting in April, 2010 for an extremely successful sales program involving Phonak’s most advanced digital, wireless, “zero interference”, covert earpiece, the Profilo. The Profilo is a perfect solution for covert communications in high electro-magnetic interference and/or loud noise environments involving law enforcement and surveillance, intelligence operations and hotel/casino security.

Phonak Profilo is a covert communication security system designed to be used in places like the casinos where safety is vital to each and every visitor. The security system ensures clear and an uninterrupted exchange between the surveillance officer and the people in the surveillance room.

In addition to its ease in application and lightness, it offers zero magnetic interference in communication making it the most number one choice in casino security system. Oftentimes, noises like hissing and buzzing sounds as well as a great amount of electro magnetic interference hinder the smooth communication between the surveillance team. As a result, safety is less assured and the aim of security personnel to be as discreet as possible is not attained. Many will be ill-at ease while playing because they can hear that somebody is being observed closely. This is something that casinos need to avoid so that clients or customers will be lured to go back and play everytime.

With Phonak Profilo security system, the security personnel can be almost invisible without jeopardizing the enjoyment and the safety of the casino customers. The Phonak Profilo Security system is available in two configurations: the Profilo WL which includes the earpiece–loopmic and wireless press-to-talk (PTT) for an extremely discreet surveillance communication, and the Profilo LM which is consist of the earpiece-loopmic and wired press-tot-talk (PTT) for an almost invisible effect in surveillance. Take a look at these sets available in Phonak Profilo security system and decide what set suits best for your casino’s safety needs.

靚女夏日護膚大法(一)

靚女夏日護膚大法(一)

凍左咁耐,呢個禮拜終於都feel到夏天o既氣息喇! 又係時候同陽光玩遊戲!
不過玩還玩，鐘意戶外活動o既你又準備好點樣好好保護你o既肌膚未?


香港夏天氣候潮濕、紫外線/空氣污染指數偏高再加上空氣入面o既塵埃再混合埋汗水，容易令面部水份流失、油脂分泌增加仲會有色班/雀班，大大影響皮膚質素。我塊面本身比較油，如果我唔用o的好o既護膚品，一到夏天油脂分泌失控就好易出暗瘡。正所謂一分錢一分貨，大部份效果好o既護膚品一般價錢都幾貴..不過我最近就發現o左幾隻product非常有效之餘價錢亦好大眾化，o岩晒年輕o既OL們!

想知點先可以令你o既肌膚o係猛烈陽光下仍能保持最fit狀態? 等我介紹三種由內到外又有效的控油方法俾大家啦!

控油篇:
相信好多人都有用面油紙o既習慣，但其實過度使用面油紙係會損害皮膚、令皮膚失去水份同埋應有o既油脂保護。
不如試下以下o既方法啦!

1, H2O+ 海洋控油淨化潔面泡沫

海洋控油系列係特別為亞洲人而研製，以天然成份橄欖葉樹汁精華配合多方面o既控油方法，又可以維持肌膚所需o既水分，有效從肌膚底層調節皮脂分泌，減少面油出現。H2O+向來都係我最鐘意o既護膚品牌，用料天然，唔怕皮膚敏感。

2, Bioderma sebium mat

Bioderma呢隻面霜可以吸走多餘油脂，減低油光形成機會亦能有效去除死皮，改善皮膚粗糙，同時預防暗瘡出現 。敷完之後感覺都幾爽，不過吸收度就好似慢o左少少。

3, 華洋經絡美肌療法

近年都好興中藥美容, 而天然中藥成份安全得o賴又好適合亞洲人肌膚。華洋坊o既經絡美肌療法先以激光, 電滲手法去打通面部穴道再用獨創的經絡膏為客人按摩面部穴位，進一步暢通經絡，促進氣血運行，同時讓皮膚吸收經絡膏多種中藥成份，幫你由內部著手改善皮膚素質從而減少油脂分泌。

夏日極速美白 ???

夏日極速美白 ???

( 香港， 5月19日)

由於工作關係要成日暴露o係陽光之下, 雖然有用美白同防曬產品但係面同身都係兩截色..o黎緊夏天仲要去沙灘同遊船河點唔知點算!

朋友介紹我去做近年都好hit o既激光美白, 話快見效又keep得耐. 其實都心郁郁想試下, 不過我又細膽, 似終係激光喎..之前睇過o的報導話有風險, 有o的美容院又貴到嚇死人, 於是我就上網search o左好耐, 搵到間叫華洋坊o既醫學美容中心. 講真, 初頭只係俾佢個promotion吸引, 半價試做喎! 但睇o左佢個網頁介紹之後發現佢o地o既美容師都係經過註冊, 部份療程更由執業醫生操刀 , 心諗都應該有保證, 所以上個禮拜我就去o左試佢個激光美白療程喇!



Angus’Beauty Concept 華洋坊半價優待(至5月31日)


開始療程之前美容師先同我詳細講解成個過程, 又同我分析皮膚性質話可以因應我o既皮膚性質同問題選擇唔同激光, 感覺都幾細心! 終於開始做療程喇..真係有o的緊張, 先做深層清潔, 美容師話清乾淨皮膚同毛孔長期積落o黎o既污垢令效果更好. 因為做激光過程都會有少少刺痛, 所以美容師就幫我搽麻醉藥膏, 之後就由專業醫生進行激光美白, 唔知係個醫生手勢好定個儀器先進呢? 開頭諗要搽麻醉藥膏都可能會幾痛, 點知又唔係喎, 成個過程個感覺只係吉吉o地痕痕o地咁! 最後美容師再幫我搽返舒緩液去relax返o的皮膚.


(無傷口的換膚)

上網都睇過o的人做完激光之後多數都會有紅腫問題, 腫我就冇, 不過塊面就好紅, 有o的擔心於是我就打返去華洋坊問啦, 個醫生好好人好有耐性話紅腫情況大約會維持3-5日, 人個別皮膚性質而又唔同! 個醫生仲叫我記得做足防曬同保濕去保護返皮膚, 因為做完激光皮膚會變得敏感喎!

做完個療程成個禮拜, 退晒紅之餘仲見到成效, 記得醫生講過話做激光美白最好連續做大約3-5次每次最好相隔一個月, 俾時間o的皮膚舒緩返先再做就可以keep到最佳效果!

如果你都想試下安全又可靠o既激光美白, 去華洋坊試下啦!

Touchmedia presents: A closer look at Shanghai Expo 2010

Touchmedia presents: A closer look at Shanghai Expo 2010

Shanghai, China. The biggest buzz in modern Shanghai in May is without a doubt the 2010 World Expo. A few months ago a little over half of surveyed Shanghai residents intended to go, but in recent weeks this has risen dramatically to more than 83 %!!



Touchmedia, the largest in-taxi interactive media in China, today unveiled the results of the interactive Expo survey just completed on 9000 taxi screens in Shanghai. A staggering 1,673,101 e-questionnaires were collected in 4 weeks, as audited by CTR. 83.02% of the passengers stated that they were definitely or likely to visit the Expo. The areas of most interest to them were the Asian and European pavilions. There was also a lot of interest in unique new features such as the “On-line Expo” and “Mobile Tickets.”



New Technology Catches People’s Eyes



As part of its goal to “Make the Expo wonderful, interactive and innovative,” for the first time in history the 2010 Expo will create an On-line Expo. Even before the official starts, this looks like it will be a huge success: 80% of the passengers intend to try it. Another innovation, Mobile Tickets (customers mobile phones will act as an E-wallet), was also well received: 72 % intend to try.



For tickets, 78% of passengers have already either got their ticket or are about to buy and 43% intend to do so by the increasingly popular Online mode. Single Day tickets, Designated Day tickets and Three Day passes were the 3 most popular types.



In-Taxi Interactive Media One of the “4 Main Sources” of Expo Information



TV, the internet, and Touchmedia’s in-taxi interactive screens and newspapers have been the 4 main sources of Expo information, according to the votes.



“In the beginning I knew little about the Expo. After I watched the TV commercials and looked at the interactive flash program in the taxis I had a much better idea about the Green concept and the Expo. I can even be a guide for my friends coming from outside Shanghai.” This comment from one passenger is apparently widely shared. Over 70 % of passengers feel they have learnt about the Expo through Touchmedia and a similar number say that media publicity in general has been important.






Changing Public Behavior: Smile Politely and No Jumping Red Lights

People recognize that their behavior will contribute to the success of the event, a tribute to the government education program. When asked how they will contribute, “To be well dressed and smile politely” was the most common offer. “To obey traffic rules and not jump red lights” was chosen by half the passengers and “To walk left and stand right on busy escalators” also received a lot of votes.

Even the level of participation of passengers in the Touchmedia survey, over 1.6 million in just a few weeks, reflects the public enthusiasm. Micky Fung, the Founder and Chairman of Touchmedia commented, “We were delighted that a record-breaking number of passengers were interested in our Expo survey and are proud of all those who promised their contribution to the Expo’s success. We are committed to playing our part with them.”





About Touchmedia

Touchmedia was founded in 2003, by its Chairman, Micky Fung, with Asian business leaders such as Katherine Yip Geicke as investors and board members. It is the largest in-taxi interactive media company, delivering innovative digital media solutions for clients and the out-of-home advertising industry in China, at a time when reaching affluent consumers on traditional media is increasingly challenging.
