Best of British Bling Backs Miss England

Leave a comment

Clip on earring specialist jewellers, www.make-me-beautiful.co.uk, sponsor British Beauty Queen, Alize Mounter as she stands for England at Miss World.

20th October 2011 London, UK – By conventional standards, it’s not been a year with much to cheer about. Food and heating costs have increased, budgets have been slashed and politicians around the globe continue to make ugly faces at each other rather than work together to solve the issues. Yet this year the 61st Miss World contest will be staged in London, UK and clip on earring specialist jewellers, Make Me Beautiful, have got together with reigning Miss England, Alize Mounter, to show that Britain’s got beauty.

“Like the best English tweed, Alize is unfussy yet stunningly put together with a surprising amount of inner strength”, spoke Make Me Beautiful founder, Misae Richwoods . “We just had to get behind her and support her in England ‘s bid for Miss World when it comes to home turf!”

Make Me Beautiful have become Miss England’s Official Jewellery Sponsor at Miss World and arranged for a number of English designer brands to be available for Alize to wear. Participating designers and brands include Fiorelli, Adele Marie and Zandra Rhodes of London, Barbara Easton of Maidenhead and Elements Silver who are based in Essex.

The Miss World 2011 Final will be televised although the contest will have run for three whole weeks for the contestants.

“It’s not a case of turn up and look pretty on the night,” laughed Alize, who’s previous television experience included the hit series Britain’s Next Top Model. “We’ll be with the judges for three weeks having all sorts of random activities thrown at us. At this level, it’s not just competing on looks as all the other girls are stunning. It’s who has the right personality to carry forwards the charitable work the Miss World organisation carries out as the winner will spend a year doing just that. I’m really excited to be representing England and look forward to being at Miss World.”

Alize completed her warm up to Miss World by taking time out from her degree studies to jump from an aeroplane, raising over £2,000 for the Parachute Regiment Charity in the process. With past global audiences for the show surpa ss ing the 2 billion mark, the world will see if a star shines for Alize that night. Over 8 million UK viewers are expected to tune in when Channel 5 broadcasts the Miss World finals on November 6th 2011.

The Hottest Full Scale 3D Action Adventure Role Playing Game to Hit iPad, iPhone and Android Devices

Leave a comment

Game Scorpion Inc. enters the App market with their first video game titled Melina’s Conquest, a 3D Role Playing Action Adventure Game that’s not only fun and challenging but also won’t break the bank!

Easy, Fun, Budget Price, Graphics, Music – As prices of mobile devices have been falling, more and more people have been purchasing apps for their new devices. What was not possible on mobile devices just several years ago has now become a reality. 3D graphics and high quality gaming at a budget price for the masses was once a dream on these small pocket gadgets. Many new developers usually did not stand a chance against console style games, but the new app markets have changed that completely to allow for mobile developers to create their games for the masses. Now the mobile app gold rush has been booming and jumping onto that band wagon is newcomer Game Scorpion Inc. with their first offering called Melinas Conquest, a full 3D action adventure role playing game (RPG) for iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch and Android mobile devices.

“We developed Melinas Conquest with one thing in mind…FUN!”, says Abhinav Gupta, Lead Developer and CEO of Game Scorpion Inc.

“Gameplay was a major item that we looked at with this game. I have personally seen many games out there that have high end 3D graphics and look ‘pretty’ on the screen, but when it came time to play the game, it was either boring or very confusing to play.”

Melinas Conquest features easy to use controls and an easy to manipulate camera. A single button is given for attacking enemies and a simple timer and ranking system.

“The goal of the game is simple, you just need to run from one end of the level to the other side without getting killed by all the various traps and enemies that pop up. At the same time along the way you will have to defeat major bosses and can follow along with an interesting storyline that ties into our future games.”

So what makes this game different from others in the market? “Price, levels and gameplay!”, says Gupta, “Many games that feature 3D graphics in the App Store or the Android Marketplace usually go for around $4.99 for their full versions. We are at a mere $2.99 price and offer 20 levels of gameplay which in most cases is far higher than what others are offering. We also make our game easy for players to play. You get value for your money and a high quality game at the end of the day that will satisfy even the most frugal shopper! Also, no two players will play the game the same way as the levels are auto-generated.”

It took Gupta and his team approximately six months to develop the game from the ground up. “There were times where I even thought we were not going to be able to get the game done…it was 16-20 hour days for myself every day for the past six months, praying daily hoping that our game would release and would be successful.”

A lot of small independent game developers like Gupta do not earn any money during development. This can be quite a challenge to have no income hoping that an app will hit off. In this market, apps can be made over a weekend and make millions or can take months and make nothing at all. “It’s a coin toss”, says Gupta, “but I personally believe that if we focus on quality games, sooner or later our players will pay for that quality and our games will start to increase in popularity.”

As a Computer Science Graduate from Ryerson University Gupta took the leap of faith into the app world at the beginning of 2011 and has finally made that dream come true. “It was a lot of hard work, a lot of faith in God and a great team behind me. Lots of support from my wife and family really helped out.”

Melinas Conquest is now live on the Apple App Store and on the Android Marketplace and can be purchased as of October 15th, 2011, for just $2.99.

Drain Pipe Repair – Independent Carlsbad Plumber Says What to Do

Leaking pipes and clogged drains needing drain pipe repair are nightmares any person wouldn’t dream about having. But these drain pipe repair problems are inevitable in any household.

Though there are a couple of tasks in the household that can be classified under the do-it-yourself category, drain pipe repair and plumbing issues should not be included under this. It is tempting to do the drain pipe repair yourself instead of having a plumber fix it for you. But this move may prove more to be a trouble than a relief.

Plumbing is a field of expertise concerned with the system of pipes and drains, the fixtures in the house and how this equipment is to be utilized in a home. This field also uses specialized tools that require specific training and experience before using. So if you do not have special knowledge and professional training within this field, it would be better to leave the plumbing repair to the experts.

These repairs also require knowledge on the specific tools to be used to replace the pipes or drains with a problem. Example, kitchen drains and bathroom drains are different, the size and the type of pipe differ for each, and a professional plumber might well have an idea of what type of pipe or what size to be used for the problem area.

Professional plumbers also have familiarity with the proper types of materials appropriately used for these situations. They have up to date knowledge on what types of materials are durable; this expertise is acquired from experience.

Another risk if homeowners do the drain pipe repair themselves is they might incorrectly diagnose the drain pipe situation. It is important to leave this task to professional plumbers so the plumber can make correct assessments on the situation. If you try to do it yourself you can come up with the wrong assessment.

There is a possibility you might underestimate the situation and decide to repair it yourself, and at the middle of the process you see the extent of the plumbing problem and realize it is something you can’t handle. It is a definite waste of time and effort. On the other hand, if you call an expert and have him take a look at the situation, then all this possible mishaps can be prevented.

Leave the situational assessment to the professional plumbers as they have the sufficient skill to do so. They are the ones who should come up with the conclusion of how simple or extensive the plumbing problem is and what how to deal with these problems. This will save you from wasting your time and effort and will also prevent you from adding further damages to your drain pipes when approaching drain pipe repair.

Keen On Bigger Healthcare Insurance Discounts? Apply These Proven Tips

Everyone can enjoy high quality coverage without paying top price. The only things that stand between you and attracting a cheaper rate at the moment are the right information and a motivation to use the tips you get. Let’s get into the steps you need to pay far less…

Smoking will always attract very high rates. Smokers are more likely to die untimely and are also more likely to contract many deadly diseases.

If smoking causes specific health conditions, then it makes a person a high risk and that calls for higher rates. If you can quit smoking you’ll get rates that are dramatically cheaper when you reapply after 12 months.

Individuals who decide to participate in extreme sports surely get rates that are simply too high. It is therefore imperative to quit such high risk sports if you need lower rates.

A group plan is more affordable than an individual health insurance plan. Therefore take advantage of it if you are in a position to use one.. The higher a risk your profile is the more you’ll save if you use a group plan.

You will also save much with a group plan if you have to pay very high rates owing to a pre-existing medical condition. So taking advantage of a group plan is a good to get quality coverage at an affordable rate.

Buying catastrophic health insurance coverage will help you make considerable savings in health insurance and is best for you if you are the consistently healthy type. You enjoy coverage for those conditions or medical needs that may come up suddenly.

You’ll really appreciate this policy if you ever have to pay huge bills due to sudden diseases or accidents. The name certainly does give an idea of what it provides coverage against. The rate paid for catastrophic health insurance is truly affordable.

Nevertheless, bear in mind that it has deductibles that are as high as $2,000. Notwithstanding, you’ll be happy to contribute such if your medical bills run up to $50,000 which is where catastrophic health insurance really shines.

An HMO will will get you health insurance at a cheaper rate. HMOs offer coverage that is cheaper than regular health insurance. With the cheaper cost comes restrictions in the doctors, health care professionals and hospitals you can use.

For individuals who want no restrictions in who and where to get medical care, a traditional health insurance plan is still your best bet.

For such folks, cost can be lowered if they take the time out to shop extensively for low rates in traditional health insurance. This is a proven way to get inexpensive rates while using a traditional health insurance plan.

However, where you are willing to accept its restrictions, you will pay cheaper rates with an HMO.

Knowledge, they say, is power. Knowing what is in your best interest helps you choose rightly. In addition, you will as well be more prepared to take advantage of opportunities as they come.

You can get advice on health matters from government agencies by calling their number toll-free. To make inquiries, call the National Health Information Center at 1-800-336-4797.

If in your case it’s tough to locate a standard health insurance carrier due to a pre-existing disease you can go for COBRA insurance. Just by the way COBRA is the abbreviation for Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985.

Check through your policy from time to time. This will help you confirm you always have adequate coverage. But most times it does happen that one of these checks shows that you have more coverage than necessary.

Dropping such unnecessary coverage will lower your rates.For instance, if you bought coverage for your family and one of your kids has just gone to college or got married, you may not remember to remove them from your family policy if you do not crosscheck your entire policy regularly. It is very easy to forget little details like this. Believe me, happiness can make you forget serious things like this.

Would you like to bring down your costs? Then take steps to save considerably by visiting the sites below: cheap auto insurance policy and Cheap vehicle quotes. Mercy Gabriel-Odimba operates over a hundred sites that show you tips to get superior insurance cheap.

SmartTOP Convertible Top Controller Kit for BMW 3 Series and Z4 Roadster Now Ships with Plug-and-Play Wiring Harness

Leave a comment

The SmartTOP convertible top control module offered by aftermarket specialist Mods4cars for BMW 3 series convertibles and Z4 roadsters now ships with a plug-and-play wiring adapter. It allows opening and closing the top while driving at slow speeds and adds one-touch convenience as well as one-touch operation of the top from afar via the original factory key fob.

Las Vegas, NV (USA), Friday – October 21st, 2011 — Effective immediately BMW 3 series convertible and Z4 roadster owners get to enjoy the conveniences offered by the SmartTOP series while keeping installation efforts to a minimum, thanks to the new, custom designed plug-and-play wiring adapter which now comes standard with each module. The kit, once installed, allows convenient top operation from the original factory key fob without the need to modify or reprogram the key.

Additionally the convertible top can be used at slow speeds of up to 40km/h (~28 mph) with the added convenience of simple one-touch operation. The distinct disadvantage of having to pull over and hold down the switch is a thing of the past. As a result the top is used more often, even on shorter trips.

“We are very happy with the solution we have found for such a simple product installation” says PR manager Sven Tornow and adds that the custom designed plug-and-play wiring adapter makes installing the kit a very simple and straightforward task. All connections between the car electronics and SmartTOP module are original manufacturer style plugs and sockets, guaranteeing a 100% fit and making it absolutely foolproof.
“The usual concept of having to deal with individual wires or even cutting and splicing is completely absent.” Mr. Tornow concludes.

Each module comes with a hand full of extra features, all of which can be individually enabled, disabled and configured: Windows can be controlled separately by remote or one-touch closed using the all-windows switch in the driver’s side door. Doors can be set to automatically unlock upon turning off the engine and the trunk access feature can be activated with no need to hold down the button on the remote. Even the motorized rear view mirrors (if option present) can be folded in or out from the remote. Top operation can be programmed to continue while the engine is started or the ignition turned off and the entire module can be disabled if needed.

An integrated industry standard USB port allows end-users to configure the module with a laptop or PC and update the product firmware (available free of charge online) if necessary. “Updates will always remain free, for the life of the product” explains Tornow, “once you have purchased a SmartTOP module, you will never get stranded with an obsolete product – an absolutely unparalleled service in this market segment.”

SmartTOP convertible top kits by Mods4cars are available for: Alfa, Audi, Bentley, BMW, Ferrari, Ford, Infiniti, Mazda, Mercedes, Mini, Nissan, Opel, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault, Volkswagen and Volvo.

The SmartTOP kit for BMW 3 series and Z4 roadsters retails for 299.00 Euros + tax.

A demonstration for Z4 roadster can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oi32r-m1xiw

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.

Corero Announces Availability of its DDoS Defense System

Leave a comment

Combined with New SecureWatch PLUS Monitoring and Intervention Service, Corero Provides Around the Clock Protection against DDoS Attacks.

Hudson, MA (USA), Friday – October 21st, 2011 — Combined with New SecureWatch PLUS Monitoring and Intervention Service, Corero Provides Around the Clock Protection against DDoS Attacks.

Corero Network Security (CNS: LN), the leader in on-premises Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) protection for enterprises, data centers and hosting providers, today announced availability of its DDoS Defense System (DDS), which detects and blocks both network and application-layer DDoS attacks. Corero complements DDS with SecureWatch PLUS, a new comprehensive monitoring and intervention service. Corero is the only company to offer the combination of on-premises DDoS defense products and specialized anti-DDoS services tailored to each customer’s specific needs.

The CoreroSecureWatch PLUS service extends customers’ security teams with experienced and battle-proven DDoS defense expertise. Corero installs the DDS unit as an in-line network device and supplements the specially configured hardware and software elements with 24×7 SecureWatch PLUS support from the Corero Security Operations Center (SOC). A dedicated technical account team works closely with the customer to provide proactive DDoS defense planning, implement around-the-clock surveillance, and coordinate a sustained and expert response in the event of an attack.

SecureWatch PLUS features three stages of support:
* Preparation:
-Audit the customer’s IT environment, and provide a customized and complete defensive configuration based on corporate security policy and DDoS defense best practices
-Collaboratively establish a coordinated DDoS attack response plan that combines end-user and Corero expertise, to ensure timely and effective actions that support the customer’s business objectives in the event of a DDoS attack

* Vigilance:
– Ongoing collaboration and communication between Corero and the SecureWatch PLUS customer to ensure up-to-date defenses in the face of evolving threats and a dynamic end-user environment
– 24×7 security monitoring to deliver real-time alerting to the end-user and the Corero security operations center staff at the onset of an attack

*Response:
– Immediate engagement of CoreroDDoS defense experts, armed with a thorough understanding of the SecureWatch PLUS customer’s policies, configuration and business-critical requirements, working with customer IT staff to quickly and effectively mitigate the attack

– Post-incident assessment of attack methods, impact and recommended measures to improve preparation for and response to possible future attacks

“DDoS defenses must be dynamic, smart and tenacious to effectively combat today’s sophisticated, agile and persistent threats,” said Steve Turner, VP of Technology Solutions and Services at Corero Network Security. “At Corero, we take a two-fold approach to thwarting DDoS attacks, by delivering superb DDoS defense technology and expert support services as a trusted partner to our customers. The collaborative nature of the service delivery between Corero and our customers assures both products and processes are in a continuous state of the highest possible defensive readiness in order to safeguard customer organizations and promote business availability.”

Corero’s DDS, the company’s dedicated DDoS defense product, defends against both network-layer SYN flood and other rate-based DDoS attacks and the more insidious, low and slow, application-layer DDoS attacks. The difficulty in even identifying these application-layer attacks renders traditional DDoS solutions ineffective, leading to lost revenue and business disruption. DDS builds off of the company’s more than 10 years of expertise in DDoS defense technology and attack mitigation solutions. The solution is built on Corero’s flagship fourth-generation network security platform which features three-dimensional protection (3DP) against network-borne cyber threats, including botnet-based DDoS attacks.
