SwampButt Underwear Donating 100% of Sales to SPCA Impacted By Harvey

Thursday, August 31st, 2017

August 31, 2017 (Lake Jackson, Texas) The owners of SwampButt Underwear will donate 100% of the proceeds (less taxes and shipping) from sales of their popular men’s underwear to the Brazoria County SPCA now through September 7, 2017. The Brazoria County SPCA is in Lake Jackson, Texas. There and in the surrounding areas of the county, the brunt of flooding rain has displaced tens of thousands of people and their pets. For those who want to donate but do not need any underwear, the company has a Facebook based fund raiser at the top of its Facebook page:: www.facebook.com/swampbutt.

From the Owners

“In the wake of Hurricane Harvey, your friends at SwampButt Underwear™ are raising money for the SPCA of Brazoria County,” owner Harold Nicoll said. “Our county is just south of Houston where tens of thousands of residents have lost their homes, belongings and even their dogs and cats. Many pets were abandoned during the storm. Others are dropped at the shelter because their owners cannot evacuate with them. Our shelter is very stressed and can really use your help. If you can only spare a dollar, we thank you for it. Every little bit helps.”

This dog and her puppies were abandoned just prior to the arrival of Hurricane Harvey. Fortunately, they were rescued and adopted by a local family, but others were not as fortunate. To help dogs and cats like these please go to: www.facebook.com/swampbutt.

About the SPCA of Brazoria County

The SPCA of Brazoria County, Texas is a 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to leading Brazoria County to a time when there are no more homeless pets in our community. Founded in 1974, the SPCA-BC has operated the Southern Brazoria County Animal Shelter since 2003. The Shelter is an open admission facility serving the Cities of Freeport, Clute, and Lake Jackson, Texas.

“We know that our customers and those who follow us just for a laugh are the best and will do what they can,” Nicoll continued. “This cause means a lot to us, and we believe that we can make a difference together.”

About SwampButt Underwear

IPS & REI Exhibiting Full Range of Electronic Detection Equipment at DSEI 17

Thursday, August 31st, 2017

IPS (International Procurement Services) & REI (Research Electronics Internaitonal) will be exhibiting their full range of electronic detection equipment at DSEI ExCel London, 12-15 September 2017

Among the range on show, will be the newly launched ORION 900 HX and ORION HX Deluxe Non-Linear Junction Detectors and the new TALAN 3 Telephone and Line Analyzer.

The new ORION 900 HX NLJD uses lower frequency to detect electronic semi-conductor components through dense materials such as bricks, concrete and soil. The longer 900 MHz wavelength enables it to detect older, less refined circuitry, to detect and locate hidden cameras, microphones, and other electronic devices regardless of whether the surveillance device is radiating, hard wired, or turned off.

Whereas the ORION 2.4 HX NLJD has a shorter wavelength of 2.4GHz, is better at detecting modern, surface-mounted circuitry and electronic semi-conductor components within normal office environments.

The ORION HX Deluxe NLJD has interchangeable 2.4GHz / 900 MHz antenna heads which are easily exchanged. The touch screen controller, automatically recognises which antenna is being used and displays the corresponding data. The Deluxe sweeps both small, modern circuitry in office environments, and older, less refined circuitry through dense materials.

The new TALAN 3.0 Telephone and Line Analyzer has enhanced VoIP traffic analysis on phones and networks, patent pending FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) algorithm for visual display of VoIP traffic, earth/ground testing for modified connections to extraneous wiring and an advanced input panel to accept and test shielded ethernet cables.

The TALAN 3.0 analyses digital, analogue and VoIP phone systems and wiring for faults, anomalies and security risks using a suite of telephone tests including an automatic switching matrix. By capturing and analysing the network stream for fast identification of unauthorised VoIP traffic it can quickly detect if a VoIP phone system is passing data packets even when the phone is not in use.

The easy-to-use interface allows users to visually observe patterns of consistent, repetitive traffic. Common VoIP services will often display a unique set of characteristics that can later be used to visually identify similar sets of traffic. Extensive, advanced filtering makes it easier to locate and identify suspicious packet information.
