"CAPTAIN PHILLIPS" - A MOVIE ALL SEAFARERS AND THEIR FAMILIES SHOULD WATCH

 Richard Phillips was the captain of the MV Maersk Alabama in 2009. Phillips was held hostage in the cargo ship's hijacking that year and was rescued. Phillips is a 1979 graduate of the Massachusetts Maritime Academy and became captain of the MV Maersk Alabama in 2009
 Soon after the rescue, President Obama said, "I share the country's admiration for the bravery of Captain Phillips and his selfless concern for his crew. His courage is a model for all Americans." On Saturday, 9 May, Capt. and Mrs. Phillips visited with President Obama in the Oval Office. A picture was released, but no details of the discussion.
Following the hijacking, Phillips published a book titled A Captain's Duty: Somali Pirates, Navy SEALS, and Dangerous Days at Sea. Columbia Pictures optioned the book and acquired the film rights to Phillips in spring 2009. In March 2011, it was announced that Tom Hanks would star in a Sony Pictures film based on the hijacking and Phillips' book, scripted by Billy Ray, and produced by the team behind The Social Network The film, entitled Captain Phillips, is scheduled for release October 11, 2013
The true story of Captain Richard Phillips and the 2009 hijacking by Somali pirates of the US-flagged MV Maersk Alabama, the first American cargo ship to be hijacked in two hundred years. 

We’ll find out in this tense new thriller from Bourne Supremacy director Paul Greengrass, which follows the true story of Richard Phillips — a cargo ship captain taken hostage when his vessel, the Maersk Alabama, was hijacked by Somali pirates in 2009.
Hanks stars as the real-life hero, while a quartet of unknowns play the pirates — one of whom gets a bit of sympathetic spotlight in the latest trailer for the film. And though Catherine Keener also appears as Hanks’s wife, the Oscar winner’s true costar seems to be his Bahston accent; hopefully, he’s had some time to work on it since Catch Me If You Can

No Steering SIM Card said...

The other alternative may be a non-steered multi-network meandering SIM. This arrangement is favored inside the IoT and M2M industry as it’s much more adaptable and effective.
