Gold for Lufft I-BOX: Product Film receives several international Awards

Fellbach, Baden-Württemberg (realtimepressrelease) July 29, 2015 – The film studio that created the last three Lufft product movies has again received several awards at two international film festivals this year. The Lufft I-BOX product film was awarded with the Gold Remi Award at the WorldFest in Houston, Texas, as well as the intermedia-globe Gold Award at the World Media Festival in Hamburg In addition, the intro of the Lufft product film won the Bronze Remi Award in Houston.

Last year the South German company was successful at the same two film festivals with the product film for the handheld device XA1000. Now NCP has repeated its success of the previous year with a new spot.

With the combination of proper customer targeting and Hollywood flair, the small film studio successfully creates unique short films that are a lot of fun to watch. “Compared with larger film productions, we shoot our clips with less equipment. This makes us not only flexible, but also proves that sometimes less is more,” said cameraman Klaus Umfahrer. “Today, most of the work needs to be put into post-production and animation, especially if the whole film is animated like the Lufft I-Box film”, he adds.

This phase of film creation was also particularly hot for Lufft in the latest NCP project: The MARWIS film is a real Lufft blockbuster!

The successful product video can be found on the Lufft TV-Channel at www.lufft.com. More details about the Lufft I-BOX are at www.lufft-I-box.com.

About the international awards

The story of WorldFest-Houston is impressive to read. Even movie stars like George Lucas, Ridley Scott, and Steven Spielberg have received trophies there. With more than 4,500 international entries from countries around the world, WorldFest-Houston is not only one of the oldest, but also one of the world’s biggest film festivals for indie, short, and advertising videos. The publicly accessible event in the “Space City” in Texas attracts approximately 30,550 filmmakers and enthusiasts every year.

About NCP Film

NCP was established before 1999 and since then has become a successful company. From 2007 on, their professional creativity has been rewarded with more than 30 international awards. In addition, NCP provides their senior customers such as Lufft, Lufthansa, MAN, and Liebherr with over 20 years of experience from the film producers who are behind NCP: Annett Väterlein and Klaus Umfahrer. NCP Film (formerly Niklas Cinema Performance Filmproduktion) has already produced more than 100 advertising films, trailers, and spots.

Watsonville Based Green Environment Landscape Does More Than Just Design Landscape and Plant Vegetation

One of one of the Few Green-Certified Landscapers in Central California that can virtually assure a savings of 40-50 percent on Water Consumption Using His Certified Green Landscaping Techniques

Watsonville, CA, August 03, 2015 – Francisco Cortes started his business with a passenger car and a shovel. Twenty-eight years later, he’s the owner/operator of a thriving green-certified landscape contracting business with nine full-time employees, Green Environment Landscape, Inc.

But Watsonville-based Green Environment Landscape does more than just design landscapes and plant vegetation. Cortes’ concept for the business is to incorporate the design and implementation of the entire outdoor landscape of a home or structure, from plants, lighting and waterscapes to patios, decks, stamped and stained concrete, irrigation, drainage and arbors. And do it while saving water and adhering to certified green landscaping techniques.

Green Environment Landscape is one of the few green-certified landscapers in Central California that can virtually assure a savings of 40-50 percent on water consumption. And to accomplish it without having to turn your green yard or garden into a parched desert landscape.

Cortes is able to accomplish this by using biosoils (which require less fertilizer and pesticides, thus reducing water use), innovative irrigation and drainage design, using more drought-resistant native plants, and incorporating various tried and true xeriscaping techniques such as zoning plants and mulching.

“People panic and they kill their plants. They don’t know how to manage their landscaping, so they let it die,” said Cortes about the strict water-tightening regulations imposed by the state during this severe drought. “But we can do a lot of things to save water. We can save at least 40 percent, even more. We just have to be more efficient.”

After starting out doing strictly residential landscaping projects, the last several years Cortes and his company have been busy on the commercial end of the business. But Cortes wants to return to his roots, so to speak, get involved in more residential projects and strike a balance between residential and commercial.

Cortes, 56, was born in the state of Jalisco, Mexico, where tequila originated, but moved to the U.S. when he was 18, to work in the fields around Oxnard, in Southern California.

A few years later he saw an opportunity to get our of the fields and work for himself.

“I started with a shovel and my first project was a yard cleanup,” says Cortes, laughing at the thought. “I didn’t even have a truck. All I had was a car!”

Thus was born Francisco Landscaping, which mostly focused on yard and garden cleanup, jobs that could be done by one person. Within two years he had his first employee and slightly bigger jobs came along, but the business struggled. Cortes, whose advertising consisted simply of handing out business cards, putting flyers on car windshields and advertising in the local shopper publication, knew he couldn’t take on the truly big jobs that could boost his business.

Bigger projects meant more employees, more paperwork, more management and more complex designs and implementing them, something Cortes was not prepared for at this stage in his career.

“If I got a lot of business I wouldn’t be able to manage it,” he says candidly. “So I decided to go to college — Cabrillo College (in Aptos, just south of Santa Cruz) — and saw that I had a lot to learn, so I took a lot of classes and attended a lot of seminars.”

But the hard work and long hours paid off. He was able to hire more employees, take on bigger projects and 10 years ago, expanded his offerings to include green landscaping, water-saving measures and what he calls “hardscapes,” the more rigid and permanent parts of a landscaping project.

“I like hardscaping, working on arbors, waterfalls, retaining walls, patios and working with lighting. It’s a challenge,” says Cortes, who also changed the name to better reflect what his business offered. He sees landscaping and hardscaping going hand in hand in the ultimate design and success of a project.

After spending half of his life in the landscaping industry, Cortes’ motto is simple, but highly effective: “Do the job right the first time. If the client still isn’t satisfied, make it right.” Rarely has he had to redo a project.

“If I do a job, there’s not going to be any callbacks,” Cortes says with a confidence built on 28 years of hard work and honesty. “If it’s not right, no excuses, I’ll take care of it. I will make sure the client is satisfied.”

There’s nothing more important in business to Cortes than gaining the trust of his client and doing quality work.

Phone:(408) 227-0808

“That’s one reason I’ve been in business so long — trust. They have trust in me,” says the plain-spoken Cortes. “Everyone wants to be successful, but the most important thing in being successful is quality. If you always do quality work, you’ll never go out of business.”

Got 99¢ – If So, You Can Learn How to Play The Blues

When you need to get your spirits roused or your feelings repaired, you need to play the blues.

Bartlett, IL, August 01, 2015 — Michael Droste, a composer and musician from Illinois, released a new everything 99¢ music store. PlayTheBlues.com is dedicated to help you learn the blues. “I also want to give everyone the blues in common keys that blues bands usually perform. The website has all the instruments, in all of the keys: Bb, C, D, E, Eb, F, G, A,” said Droste.

The Play The Blues instrument list includes: Alto Saxophone, Bass Guitar, Clarinet, Drums Set, Flute,Acoustic and Electric Guitar, Keyboard Instruments, Oboe, Recorder, Soprano Saxophone, Violin, Viola, Cello, Tenor Saxophone, Trombone, Trumpet, Tuba and Vibes.

Each 99¢ recording also has ‘Magic Notes’ at the website that are a place to start playing the blues.

Try repeating the notes, creating a complimentary or contrasted rhythm and start having fun. Each Blues song has a total of 12 choruses.

“Soloing is a very free, fun way to express your feelings and emotions. It is simply one of the best parts of playing an instrument. Play around an experiment. Play with the track, then on the second chorus, play whatever you want! Play sharp notes, flat notes, listen to what sounds good or bad.

Simply play around an experiment,” Droste Stated.

Everything comes out in blues music: joy, pain, struggle. Blues is affirmation with absolute elegance. It’s about a man and a woman. So the pain and the struggle in the blues is that universal pain that comes from having your heart broken. Most blues songs are not about social statements ~Wynton Marsalis

To assist the beginner, there is a blues tutorial at the end of each recording. The 500+ recordings for every instrument are now available for 99¢ each through PlayTheBlues.com http://www.PlayTheBlues.com

SmartTOP Add-On Convertible Top Controller for Porsche 911 Carrera (996) Now Available

The new SmartTOP Convertible Top Controller made by Mods4cars for the Porsche 911 Carrera (996) Convertible is available and in stock effective immediately. The aftermarket module allows opening and closing of the convertible top while driving at slow speeds and with one-touch operation. The top can also be controlled from the factory remote fob.

Las Vegas, NV (USA), July 30th, 2015 — Aftermarket automotive electronics specialist Mods4cars, maker of the add-on SmartTOP modules for convertible tops now presents the new solution for the Porsche 911 Carrera Convertible (996). This new development allows owners to open and close the top while driving at slow speeds with one-touch convenience. It is no longer necessary to hold down the switch for the duration of the operation. A quick touch is enough to start a full automatic top cycle. This represents a true gain in convenience which means the car will be enjoyed with the top down more often.

Additionally the SmartTOP module enables remote control of the top from the original key fob remote. A key sequence on the fob starts a full automatic opening or closing of the top. The original remote does not need to be altered. “SmartTOP customers can activate the top while still approaching their car, get in, start the engine and drive away with the top already down.” explains PR-Manager Sven Tornow.

Starting or stopping the engine does not stop an ongoing top operation. The rear windows can be raised with the top in the down position. The entire module can be temporarily disabled while retaining all user configurable settings all of which can be set to individual needs. It is also selectable if the windows should roll up or stay down after opening the top.

Programming of the user settings can be done in the car with a signature set up procedure or with a Windows or Mac computer using the USB connector built into the module. The USB port allows quick and easy firmware updates as well as full product configuration in seconds using support software available free of charge online.

Installation of the kit is very straight forward as well. It comes with a plug-in-between wiring adapter which connects the module to the car electronics. It is custom designed using OEM connectors to ensure a perfect and secure fit. No wires need to be spliced or cut and everything can be reverted back later without leaving any trace or damage.

The SmartTOP kit for 911 Carrera Convertible is available for 299 Euros + tax. Kits are also available for all other Porsche Boxster models (all model years) and all 911 models (996 and newer). Mods4cars carries SmartTOP module kits for almost all popular brands of convertibles on the road today: Alfa, Audi, Bentley, BMW, Ferrari, Ford, Infiniti, Jaguar, Lamborghini, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mini, Nissan, Opel, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault, Volvo and Volkswagen.

About Mods4cars:
Mods4cars was founded in 2002 with the idea to add a highly demanded feature to the otherwise almost perfect Porsche Boxster: Comfort One-Touch roof operation while driving at slow speeds. The resulting product offered not only that, but also allowed quick and easy installation by just swapping out a relay box, thus leaving no traces and no permanent changes on the vehicle. The first SmartTOP roof controller was born.

The success of their first products in Germany and Europe prompted them in late 2004 to move operations to the USA, to be able to serve the American market as well as all other English speaking countries such as Australia, UK and South Africa from one central location. Their business has grown to a full-fledged international corporation with an office in Las Vegas and a full line of innovative products as well as distributors and installation partners all over the globe.

Being highly specialized in the development and distribution of aftermarket roof- and comfort controllers since 2002 allows them to offer an unsurpassed level of competence and product quality. Their main goal is optimization of each individual product to a maximum in compatibility, usability and intuitive operation. They put greatest effort into development and quality checks of all their products to achieve this goal and meet all expectations of their customers.

The extraordinary success of their products is also based on the great communication with their customers, which usually already starts for each new product during the development and prototyping phase.
