An Emperor Of Business Development, Carl Sgro

A tournament-quality bass fisherman, isn’t who you’d normally expect internet and technology companies to seek out for professional advice on expanding their businesses;  but that’s where you’d be wrong, because although he has fished many of the major lakes and inlets from Maine to Florida;  Carl Sgro is an expert with over 25 years of business development experience.  Business professionals seek him as their SEM and SEO specialist to guide their  businesses in search engines ranking by assisting to design, implement, and market technologies; because they know that Carl Sgro’s strategies make an incredible difference.

Carl Sgro takes all aspects of his job quite seriously, particularly recognizing his client’s needs and achieving those desired results by conveying the clients message to their targeted audience, using fresh, crisp, thought provoking styles and techniques.  Crafting copy that catches the readers attention while injecting Search Engine Marketing (SEM) and Search Engine Optimization (SEO) into digital copy that gets the results clients want. 

Having compassion emphasis that you care about your client’s needs, as well as the community and Carl Sgro  has demonstrated this attribute ten fold; not only in his business dealings by hosting an Internet Reputation Management Blog, providing free insightful advice regarding the relevance of utilizing professional help in neutralizing bad online publicity and moving negative content down the rankings.  But he’s also done so, through his personal efforts as well; Carol Sgro was instrumental in establishing the ‘Take a Kid Fishing Foundations a non-profit organization that supports disadvantaged youth and children with special needs of Eastern North Carolina, by hosting a day-long coastal fishing adventure to introduce young children to the sport of fishing.

Businesses know that it would be a tremendous mistake not to let Carl Sgro help them to achieve the results they need, want, and deserve - success.

Taxi Anyone? Let's Thank Amos Tamam

Taxi traffic jam

Technology is astounding,  constantly changing, and it’s just plain wonderful!  Yet most people take it for granted, in their everyday life – with the flip of a switch lights come on, the turn of a knob and water comes out.   Most don’t spend their time wondering how or who may have been responsible for the convenience they readily enjoy.  It’s all taken for granted.

View Taxi Anyone Let's Thank Amos Tamam

The convenience of our convenient world is made possible through the innovative efforts of pioneers such as: Zenith engineer, Dr. Robert Adler who harnessed ultrasonics to create the first truly practical wireless remote in 1956 & subsequently the couch potato was introduced shortly after.

As for the indispensable “can’t move a muscle without it” cell phone – well we have Dr. Martin Cooper to thank for that clingy device. Cooper invented the technology responsible for the development of the modern cell phone in 1973 while working as the Director of Research and Development for Motorola.

Former Engineer, Amos Tamam who invented the system of allowing cabs to be able to take credit cards for cab fare.  No longer do travelers have to be concerned about not having enough currency to pay for being transported from point A to point B by a whistle-if-you-want-one Taxi.

Amos Tamam was a classic American success story, he arrived in the United States from Israel in the early 1980’s with nothing but his electrical engineer training; he got into the cab business and eventually with diligence and determination made his way up the corporate ladder, from servicing cabs to ultimately becoming CEO of Veriphone Transportation Systems Inc.

Tamam’s system documents and reconciles driving records for taxi fleets.  A summary of credit card transactions include the fare, tolls and tips, the time and date of travel and miles driven.  The system easily enables cabbies to generate a report of the day's total fares and to reconcile credit card charges; allowing for more accurate record keeping capabilities to quickly and easily collect their earnings.

Finally, advances like this by Amos Tamam make a huge impact on so many levels, and are inspirational to novice innovators looking to make a change for the better as well as for our daily convenience.

Child Panic Devices are the cutting edge in securing your loved one's protection

For a couple of years I was fortunate to have worn the hat of a featured columnist for an online publication, which allowed me to express my opinion and write on any subject matter I so desired.    An article I wrote, "A Panic Button Is Long over Due for Children"; appeared in my column, The Way I See It, in September 2007.

Here’s an expert of the opening paragraph:

A panic button is long over due for children.  I find it difficult to believe that with all the modern technology being used today to invent the newest and latest inspector-gadget type portables, MP3 players, iPod Touch, that sweet-ass iPhone, PSP, the mini-GPS and what-not’s, no one has been able to develop a Child Alarm Alert system device to be worn by a child, a device that would assist in locating or responding to a missing or exploited child?” I even provided a draft of how the CAA Concept could work.

In my 2007 article, I went on to say, that through HomeAgain they’re able to ensure a pets' safety through micro-chipping and enrolling in a recovery database.  With HomeAgain, a lost pet is successfully recovered approximately every six minutes. To date, more than 4.3 million pets in the United States have been implanted with the HomeAgain(R) microchip, resulting in almost 400,000 successful recoveries.  My concern at the time was, why can’t they do the same for a human being?

Well, I’m delighted to say, that technology never ceases to amaze me, especially with companies such as Brickhouse Security, one of the leading providers of safety and security products to major law enforcement agencies; has stepped up to the plate in more ways than one.  First, with the Child Locator and now they’ve gone a step further with Amber Alert GPS (AAGPS), a small but powerful personal GPS tracker.

The Amber Alert GPS device enables parents to remotely locate their children when they are away.  Which differs from the Locator (a great device on it’s on), in that it uses GPS technology to alert parents when their child strays beyond a set distance of up to 600 feet.  Both devices together complement each other very well.  The AAGPS device weighs in at about $300.00 (with a monthly service cost between $19.99 to $49.99, depending on usage) and works well indoors and out, has an SOS button to call for help to up to 5 people at once, supports Geo-Fencing, and can send speed alerts (ie. send an alert if my kid is driving faster than 80 MPH), which is a very handy feature for parents of teen-ager drivers.

And for those of you with limitless income, there’s the  WorldTracker priced at around $600, monthly service costs $69/month, plus there's a one-time setup fee of $90. That's about $830 per year in service fees alone – don’t forget to add the $100 cost for the extended battery you’ll need - not cheap, but the WT’s performance is top notch.   Amber Alert GPS may not have all the extra bells and whistles as WorldTracker, such as being able to configure AAGPS to send location updates – you have to call the device & wait for it to send a message to your phone – how difficult is that, besides you should periodically call your child anyway. Still, Amber Alert GPS is simple to use, and doesn't require a computer to find out where your child is; nor will you have to take out an equity loan to purchase it.  If you already have an internet-enabled smart phone, Amber Alert GPS is a great tool for parents and children alike.

There are other monitoring systems available, but do your homework before investing your hard earned money on something that may not give you the results you want or need.  Functionality should be the first option you look for in a device and cost should be a close second, so shop wisely.  Just because a device cost more or less, doesn’t mean it’s the best product.

Unfortunately, a number of devices which I won’t name here, tend to perform poorly in public places; and are prone to interference, the range is very limited inside malls and supermarkets, and either don’t have a direction indicator on the display, so you have to rely on a series of audible beeps to determine if you're getting "hotter" or "colder" as you panicky run around circles, searching for your child – which is not very practical at all.  Devices like these are better suited for hunting down frequently misplaced items at home, such as keys, wallets, and remote controls.

Although the alert tracking devices may not be designed to prevent kidnappings, abductions, runaways, or missing persons; it is good to know you have an edge against such occurrences.  Amber Alert GPS is a more practical and less expensive solution to ensure that children are safe and accounted for when they're away from home.

To have that extra peace of mind for everyone you care about, children, elderly loved ones, or even pets an AAGPS device is a wise investment.

Epsilon Investment Management Invest In Boca Raton


BocaSkyline
When most people think of Boca Raton, they generally think of warm tropical weather, posh villas, private mansions, exclusive yacht clubs, lazily days, and the like.  With successful businesses like, Epsilon Investment Management who’ve chosen to locate themselves in Boca Raton, the city enjoys a great reputation among tourists and is known for being pedestrian-friendly with its promenade.  So if you’re lucky enough to take advantage of the Ooohs and Aaash of Boca Raton, you just might find some amazing investment opportunities along the way; with Epsilon Investment Management, one of the companies that have taken advantage of the geographic advantages of being part of the thriving city.

Boca Raton is situated in Palm Beach County, Florida.  New roads and landscaping are a part of the city’s redevelopment to attract tourists and become an even more frequent destination area for residents and tourist.  However, even successful companies like Epsilon Investment Management must be careful as Boca Raton has a strict development code, including the size and types of commercial buildings, building signs and advertisements which may be erected within the city limits.  Additionally, no billboards are permitted in the city.  Corporations such as McDonald's have subdued their Golden Arches due to the code.  The unincorporated areas still contain restaurants with the classic arches, but the heights of the signs have also been reduced.  Codes or not,  Boca Raton is a wise investment, both socially and financially.
