Parker Brooks, a conservator working under contract to preserve and catalog items recovered from the CSS Georgia, displays an artifact removed from the Civil War ironclad. Workers will send the still-unconfirmed item to a laboratory at Texas A&M University for X-ray and removal of encrusted material. Brooks, also a graduate student from Texas A&M, photographs and catalogs each piece retrieved by divers working in the river. The Corps of Engineers must remove the remains of the CSS Georgia from the bottom of the Savannah River where it has rested since 1864 when its crew scuttled the ship. Artifacts will be shipped to Texas A&M for further study and preservation under a contract awarded as part of the Savannah Harbor Expansion Project (SHEP).

Hong Kong Transport - Buses | All types
The Hong Kong Bus Culture
The number of buses registered + licenced in Hong Kong seems to fluctuate between 18,000 - 22,000 vehicles and presumably new buses registered are offset by old buses being retired or sold over the border in China. (Source - The Transport Department, Hong Kong Government)
Bus services in Hong Kong have to be amongst the best of all major cities in the World.
All major Hong Kong Bus Companies invest heavily and are using mainly brand new double decker buses and all of them are testing and introducing single and double decker 100% electric buses and also hydrogen powered buses for future use.
☛Major Franchised Bus Companies in Hong Kong
Citybus | Cityflyer ✚ Kowloon Motor Bus | KMB ✚ Long Win Motor Bus | LWB ✚ New Lantao Bus | NLB ✚ HZMB ✚ Note : New World First Bus | NWFB merged with Citybus in 2022
☛Non - Franchised Public Bus Services using double decker and single decker buses (feeder services)
Mass Transit Railway | MTR ✚ DBTS - Lantau Island ✚ Park Island Transport Co. Ltd.
☛All Major Franchised Public Minibus Services (PLB) seating 16 or 19 people
Franchised and Non Franchised Public Light Bus Red Top ✚ Franchised Public Light Bus Green Top
☛Privately Owned Buses
Toyota seems to be the preferred brand for privately owned small and medium sized buses and are used for the following purposes
Public and Private Rehab Buses ✚ Commercial Building Buses ✚ Resident Services Buses ✚ Travel and Tour Buses ✚ Contract Hire ✚ School Buses ✚ Hotel Buses ✚ Misc. Buses for any type of charter | hire too numerous to mention including cross border buses.
One of the largest privately owned companies is Kwoon Chung Bus Company who also offer Non Franchised and Franchised Bus Services through it‛s subsidiary New Lantao Bus
☛Many Hong Kong Government Departments have a fleet of buses but for some reason also contract hire from Private Bus Companies on an “as needed” basis.
Any Government OWNED and operated vehicle in this section (such as Correctional Services Buses, Police Buses etc ) have a licence plate starting AM and any Chinese Military Vehicle has a licence plate starting ZG and naturally some of these vehicles have personalized licence plates which they buy at Government Auction!

Honoring Eisner legacy of educating Soldiers
By Rick Scavetta, U.S. Army Garrison Aberdeen Proving Ground
BALTIMORE – Will Eisner's comic characters in “P.S.” magazine offered tips essential for trouble shooting Army equipment that Command Sgt. Maj. Toese J. Tia Jr. has never forgotten.
Tia, the U.S. Army Aberdeen Proving Ground Garrison’s senior enlisted leader, shared memories of Eisner's artwork and its impact on Soldiers during a March 5 museum launch of an exhibit at Geppi’s Entertainment Museum in Baltimore that focuses on the famous cartoonist's contribution to the Army.
"We had a very important spot for our P.S. magazines and it was part of our battle rhythm monthly as we received the new P.S. magazine,” Tia said, recalling his service as young mechanic at Fort Riley, Kansas in the late 1980s. “We had to familiarize ourselves and use it as a reference. We found it to be very effective.”
The "Will's War" exhibit honors Eisner's use of comics to educate and inform Soldiers. The exhibit includes 21 framed pieces of Eisner's work, much of it part of Benjamin Herzberg's collection. Herzberg, a Will Eisner expert who once worked with the artist, organized the panel discussion.
Creator of "The Spirit," a comic superhero, Eisner was drafted in 1942 and went to APG for basic training, Herzberg said.
"He was already very well known. He was in the Baltimore Sun," Herzberg said. "So they put him on the post newspaper, “The Flaming Bomb."”
At APG, Eisner created characters Private Dog Tag and Joe Dope. And, he came up with a novel idea – use comics to teach Soldiers about preventive maintenance. Eisner developed "Army Motors" magazine in World War II and later "P.S., The Preventive Maintenance Monthly."
APG Garrison 1st Sgt. Richard Bernard recalled how researchers from P.S. once asked him how to maintain protective masks, a topic later featured in comic form. Bernard said he has turned to P.S. for tips, for 22 years.
“It's captivated me enough to retain a lot of information that would not have been gained from a boring [technical manual],” Bernard said. “This targets the audience it needs to target.”
Eisner's audience was the “Soldiers who have busted knuckles, greasy oily grimy hands, worn coveralls and scuffed boots … the Soldiers who keep the Army's equipment ready,” said Jonathan Pierce, the current editor of P.S. magazine.
“Rarely has art and the written word been so well blended,” Pierce said. “Will Eisner showed that content and sequential art complement one another.”
Now, P.S. will become a mobile app with interactive features, Pierce said. The conversion is rooted in the same principle as when Eisner created the magazine in the early 1950s.
“Get Soldiers where they are at. Deliver to it to them in a format that they find interesting,” Pierce said. “We'll continue to have our contract artists draw the magazine; it's just going to be on the mobile app.”
Daniel Boehm, a government civilian with the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Chemical Defense at APG, said he remembered always reading P.S. monthly at the motor pool when he served in uniform. Now a self-proclaimed comic nerd,
Boehm and his son attended the exhibit launch. He said learning about the Eisner legacy was interesting, as was hearing about the new P.S. app.
"They are trying to remain on the cutting edge with technology, where it seem the trends are going," Boehm said.
The museum's collection includes more than 6,000 items, from the 19th century to the present day. There are toys, posters, unique art and memorabilia. More than 1,000 comic books on display include the first Superman and the first Batman comics and several original Eisner "Spirit" comics. The Eisner exhibit opened the same day as the museum's Batman exhibit, according to Michael Solof, the museum's exhibits and collections manager.
"Will Eisner only drew Batman two times," Solof said, “so, it's amazing that we got one to show.”
This year is Aberdeen Proving Ground's centennial year would also be Will Eisner's 100th birthday, Tia said. He added that the Army's priority of readiness sparked Eisner's efforts and he leaves a legacy is of generations of Soldiers who benefit.
“Team APG is honored to be a part of that legacy,” Tia said.
“Down the road, when I reflect, I can say I served where Will Eisner was, walked the same [path]. I'm part of the P.S. magazine development,” Tia said. “At one time, a young Soldier like me, read that magazine. Now, I'm here as a command sergeant major, looking at the same magazine 27 years later. That's pretty remarkable.”
