Kent, England -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/18/2011 -- LAPA Security have announced the exclusive launch of a Pre-paid, international security service for shipping clientele, worldwide.

"It is our intention to supply an armed Lapa Security mothership, with full emergency medical facilities, upon which four SF spec, high speed ribbed craft would be deployed, crewed by armed ex- British SF personnel which would then intercept pirates prior to attacks on vessels within the designated convoy group." – Capt. Richard Graham, LAPA Security

This counter measure is aimed specifically at pirates operating in international waters, with a strict focus on ensuring the protection of valuable cargo and personnel, before incident. Along with a full equipped mothership, LAPA Security have developed their services to provide emergency response teams for additional ships which come under attack.

"We also anticipate to be in a position to offer an emergency response service (QRF) deployment, for those vessels not signed up to our protective services, yet in need of urgent assistance."

This development comes as a security response to the significant increase in pirate attacks occurring across the globe, with recent attacks across Africa and the Gulf of Aden raising further concerns amongst multinational companies.

In response, the Anti Piracy service is aimed at insurance and oil companies which operate vessels across international waters, many of which are now pirate infested.

With the estimation of piracy costing businesses billions of dollars each year, this Anti Piracy service from LAPA Security will be a cost effective investment for any client, ensuring complete protection and, peace of mind.

For further information regarding this service, please contact:

The new wave of hi-end pleasure based investments has already started among those in the know.

Rugby, Warwickshire -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/13/2010 -- With Harbour Island in the Bahamas grabbing the spotlight again as one of the most desirable places on earth to call home according to HGTV, America's leading lifestyle programme, the tell tale signs that investor confidence is back are starting to show.

In recent weeks historic Strawberry House, Sandy Hill. a new site at Pink Sands and several apartments at Valentines Resort have been snapped up. New refurbishment has started at Fort Point and La Tortuga, and a beautiful restoration project by its new owners is underway at Strawberry House. New build projects are well under way at Pink Sands and at a site overlooking Girls Bank. The Little Dock House project also looks set to come to life too. All this on an Island that covers just 1.6 square miles.

Development activity has also resumed on Little Harbour Island, just 1-mile west of Harbour Island Another clear sign that the wave is coming…

Several existing owners, close to the market, have reinvested up-market before the wave hits its peak and two previous long term owners who left the Island for some years have returned. Local realtor Robert Arthur reports that others are also looking. Typical capital growth has been 3-5% p.a. and hi-end properties can rent for $6-10,000 per week when not in use by their owners - in some cases for up to 20 weeks. He also points out that, somewhat surprisingly, hi-end waterfront property on Harbour Island calls for lower investment than in Florida.

The brainchild of UK business entrepreneur Peter Dempsey, who has owned property on the Island for over 25 years, Sunset Harbour Estate is a unique waterfront development concept of six luxury residences set in just over 2-acres. Three of them have already been sold. A private dock capable of accommodating some of the bigger yachts, especially the draught required for the 120 footers makes it a rare find. Expertly designed and landscaped in true Bahamian style to an exacting standard it offers individual seclusion and privacy whilst benefiting from a shared full time Estate Manager and maintenance staff. Care free "get up and go" is the order of the day. Prices start from $1.2 million.

Database eases job search for Working Holiday travellers in Australia, New Zealand

Sydney, NSW -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/29/2010 -- As competition for jobs in Australia and New Zealand grows, working holiday service provider Work n Holiday (www.working-holiday-visa.org) has developed an innovative job database to connect Working Holiday Visa travellers with the seasonal and short-term work they are seeking.

The database, available only to Work n Holiday members, lists thousands of jobs throughout New Zealand and Australia each year. According to Work n Holiday manager Sam Habbouche, the regularly-updated database has quickly become the top source of job leads for Work n Holiday participants.

"We update the database three times a week, keeping a constant supply of brand-new, genuine job openings right at our members' fingertips," said Habbouche. "Since we only post relevant jobs from employers who need the short-term labour provided by Working Holidaymakers, this has become an extremely useful job-searching tool."

The success of the job database is evident in its statistics: After a strong start in 2008, with a total of 5,700 jobs listed, the database helped 76 percent of Work n Holiday's clients to find their first working holiday job in 2009. Since January 2010, nearly 9,000 jobs have been posted.

As the database grows, Work n Holiday continues to fine-tune the online tool's services, offering a model CV, which can be completed with participants' own information, a 29-page job assistance manual, and links to helpful websites.

Habbouche is adamant that the database will not replace the direct services which Work n Holiday offers on location in Australia and New Zealand.

"From a job searching workshop, to assistance taking out a tax file number, to access to our offices in Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, and Auckland, our staff provides comprehensive support to participants." Habbouche said. "The success of our database, combined with the services we provide in person, optimise our participants' chances of finding great working holiday jobs in Australia and New Zealand."
