Curse and Kisses Entertainment Announces New Artist Album Release

Leave a comment

“Curse and Kisses is over the top, heavily produced, and garish hard rock with an underlying current of sex and glitter that can’t quite outshine the music’s glistening grime.” – Bryan Rodgers, Aerial Publicity.

Orlando, FL (USA), Monday – January 16, 2012 — Curses and Kisses Entertainment, LLC announces this week a release from new artist Curse & Kisses. ( http://www.cursenkisses.com ) All it takes is a listen – the music speaks for itself.

Curse & Kisses is being defined as “Orgasmic Rock.” It’s this phrase that communicates the fact that this hot new style of music has the ability to provide its listeners with extreme pleasure. Curse & Kisses covers a wide range of genres in his music that include funk, pop, psychedelic rock and rhythm and blues.

The new self titled extended play includes six tracks: Blue Eyes; Zombie; Stone Cold Freak; Curse & Kisses and two Instrumentals. ( http://www.cursenkisses.com )

As frank as Curse & Kisses so often is about desire, drugs and the rock ’n’ roll lifestyle, that “underlying current of sex and glitter” is only out-shined by “the music’s glistening grime,” said music critic Bryan Rodgers. “The sound is one of conflict and aggression, almost like shock metal cut with a dusting of progressive rock and funk.”

The artist started playing at the age of 13.

“I can provide aggression and subtlety in one song,” he says. “My music is like a roller coaster.”

Curses & Kisses is working to build interest and support with some creative techniques. For example, its “Rock Wall of Fame” gives interested fans, artists and businesses a way to highlight themselves on the wall and provides a way to show support for the band. For $10, users can upload an image of their choice; include a short message; and a website address. This content will stay on the artist website forever.

This innovative independent artist is also working to raise funds for recording, promoting, photography, and various other expenses. Supporters will receive custom rewards of appreciation from Curse & Kisses. Custom rewards are distributed exclusively to supporters through Kickstarter. Rewards will not be resold or distributed anywhere else. Also, supporters who donate $25 or more will also receive recognition forever on the “Rock Wall of Fame.”

For more information; to listen to the music and to browse their huge online store visit: http://www.cursenkisses.com.

Curse & Kisses tracks are also available on Amazon.com; iTunes and more.

Renowned writer V Bright Saigal’s Lullaby – A Collection of Poems & Stories (ISBN – 978-1-257-90871-4) [http://www.vbrightbooks.00server.com] has been launched at a gala party in Los Angles.

“This is an exciting moment in my life” the author said.

Though many poems of his had been launched in 2010, this is the first time a collection of more than 30 poems and a few short stories launched in the market. The waiting is over but the celebration of book reading is still on. The readers began commenting on the poems that inspire every heart to love and love again. A dish and festoon for soul mates of today.

“What a fascinating voice in every poem.” one fan commented after reading. Every poem is an outstanding piece the readers will relish in the real dish of deep and honest love, which is what Lullaby- A Collection of Poems and Stories all about. The poems have got a soul of love and affection and weep of lovers after departure from their soul mate. A great book to be read…for both the poem lovers and others. It is also a good handbook for travelers.

The book is full of emotion that is etched live like a painting on a vast canvass of love in glittering colors of real beauty. “Love is pure. It should be treated with its sanctity and modesty rather than today’s mechanical and aggressive approach to a passionate lover” the author added.

The time has changed but the soul and the heart of everyone still looking for great piece of love poems to re-read; that is what Lullaby-A Collection of Poems and Stories is about.

This is an outstanding collection of poems and stories that tells the pains of every heart from departure of its soul mate. Love is pure and untarnished. Its sanctity is ultimate like life.

Life is incomplete without love and ones’ soul mate is the real one who bleeds in the other one’s departure. That pain cannot be explained but it is much deeper than an ocean- Love is perennial in the Book Lullaby – A Collection of Poems & Stories.

Source-Omega Advocates Algae Oil for Diabetics in India, China and the USA in New Publication

Leave a comment

Source-Omega, a finished products manufacturer and educational marketing company, announced today their new peer-reviewed publication titled “A Substitute for Fish Oil: Qualifying Algae Oil Omega-3s as a Medical Food,” written by Dr Scott D. Doughman, PhD, CEO and Chief Scientific Officer.

Chapel Hill, NC (USA), Friday – January 13, 2012 — The Source-Omega company’s invited manuscript was accepted after independent international peer review. It is published as an academic chapter in the book Environmental Pollution: Ecology and Human Health, published by Narosa (India) [http://www.narosa.com/books_display.asp?catgcode=978-81-8487-112-8].

Source-Omega maintains its R&D is always expanding and touts its public health research focus. They are seeking to identify the largest populations with the greatest omega-3 need.

Doughman’s collaborations with senior medical and scientific experts in India helped define trends in onset correlated with urbanization and modern dietary changes. He pointed out the greatest incidence of type-2-diabetes occurs in India, China and the USA, respectively (1).

Their report does not discuss relative rates of onset in these countries other than the fact that world diabetes onset is doubling every 30 years, with 200 million people worldwide diagnosed to have this largely preventable disease.

Doughman commented on the quality and safety of algae oil and the global diabetes need. “Based on a full survey of the evidence-based literature, there is a tremendous opportunity for more omega-3 research from university groups. We report how algae oil significantly and safely benefits diabetics with dyslipidemias and elevated postprandial triglycerides, without introducing any known glucose control side effects or drug interactions in this population,” he said.

Lead editor of the book compilation, Dr. Gottipolu R. Reddy, is Professor and Head, Division of Neuroscience, Department of Zoology, Sri Venkateswara University, Tirupati, India. Dr. Reddy is known internationally for his research in the area of developmental neurotoxicity of heavy metals. Dr. Reddy and Dr. Doughman met at a 2009 symposia at the historic Bangalore University, Department of Zoology, where each had been invited speakers.

High-DHA algae oil has no environmental pollutants, is natural cultured oil grown in enclosed controlled systems. The safety of high-DHA omega-3 algae oil intake by a type-2-diabetic was previously published on in review by Doughman et al., 2007 (2).

Other Source-Omega publications and articles in India on algae oil topics include peer reviewed manuscripts published in 2008 with the Indian Science Congress and in 2009 by the University of Madras, Department of Zoology. Recently Doughman’s Visiting Faculty work has been written about by the Asian Scientist (3,4,5).

The company suggested that future studies on environmental pollution-effects will likely show significant contributions to diabetes onset worldwide, but acknowledged that algae oil DHA can only address the chronic dietary component of the disease.

Doughman commented, “Progress is being made in educating about the two sides of the type-2-diabetes coin, sugar and fat, not just sugar.”

He then added, “We should not say the cause is the ‘Western diet’. Diabetes is increasing with convenience diets, affluence, urbanization and possibly pollution. To say Western diet invites cultural blame and most diabetics do not eat a Western diet, rather refined sugars, starches and oils all play contributing roles as added ingredients in processed foods made all around the world.”

Current science and consensus indicates eating fish is linked to lower blood glucose concentrations and the related associations to a reduced risk of developing diabetes, discovered as a result of the Prevention with a Mediterranean Diet study conducted by Mercedes Sotos Prieto in Spain through the University of Valencia. The study was conducted with the Valencia population involving 945 people (340 men and 605 women) between the ages of 55 to 80 who had high cardiovascular risk backgrounds.

Source-Omega is a member of the Global Organization for EPA and DHA Omega-3s (GOED), a trade group advocating for the ethical and sustainable use of omega-3 fatty acids in nutrition and medicine. GOED’s website [http://www.goedomega3.com] suggests omega-3 prevention measures worldwide could help save $47 trillion in chronic disease costs, including the long term complications and costs associated with the diabetes epidemic.

IOA Risk Services Identified: 4 Dangerous Trends Facing the Ceiling & Wallboard Industry

Leave a comment

Learn issues facing the Ceiling & Wallboard Industry and how progressive companies are positioning themselves to be more competitive in their marketplace.

Longwood, FL (USA), Tuesday – January 10, 2012 — How have the last couple of years in business treated the Ceiling & Wallboard industry? Is it more difficult to raise revenue? Have profit margins continued to be squeezed? It has been asked, “are there companies actually out there that are being successful? And if so, what are they doing?”

Rick Dalrymple is a member of the Florida Wall & Ceiling Contractors Association. He has been a Risk Manager with expertise in the construction industry for over 30 years. In his discussions these past several months, he has heard a consistent tone of real concern of companies wondering if & how they will make it during these challenging times.

As a result, IOA Risk Services contracted with a national research firm to help them determine what is going on. More importantly, business owners are interested in information that will help them survive and thrive in this economy. So they commissioned a study called… The 4 Dangerous Trends Facing the Ceiling and Wallboard industry…to provide you with insights on what you must know if you don’t want your competitors to pass you by.

#1…Those in the Ceiling & Wallboard industry will likely see their overall insurance rates increase due to the investment climate. Insurance carriers balance their profitability from either investment income or underwriting profit. Because their investment income have been decreasing during the recession, coupled with the erosion of their underwriting profits due to adverse loss results, it’s expected that rates overall will harden (or increase), especially in the area of Workers’ Compensation.

#2 …Reports indicate that medical costs will continue to increase. To validate this point, construction companies have seen their Workers’ Compensation rates increase two (2) years in a row (FLA). Like many businesses, physicians have been adversely affected by the downturn in the economy. Some companies have seen doctors string out a patient’s medical care to help offset their lack of business, which costs contractors money.

#3…With the new rules that NCCI modified to begin in January 2013, many companies will see their experience modification factor and their subsequent Workers Comp insurance premiums increase. ( http://www.RichardDalrymple.com )

#4…To add insult to injury, at a time when your profit margins are being squeezed, OSHA has increased their staff to enforce safety training activities of employers. Since 2010, OSHA staffing is up 37% and their fines are up 200%.

Employers have asked, “What can be done to control these issues?” Are there companies who have a handle on this, and if so, how are they keeping their competitive edge?

Let’s look at four (4) strategies that progressive companies are pursuing these days.

#1…To avoid seeing your insurance costs skyrocket in the near future, it is important to better position your company to look and act “Best in Class.” When insurance underwriters price your account, they look at your past claims experience, but also, they look to see what policies and procedures companies have in place to avoid future claims.

#2…What is your company’s RiskScore™? Similar to a credit score (where a higher credit score = lower mortgage rates), the higher your RiskScore™, the lower your insurance rates. ( http://www.RichardDalrymple.com )

#3…Companies are turning to “easy to implement” Learning Management Systems (LMS) to provide quick training on a complete list of disciplines, such as OSHA and HR compliance, Safety or wellness training. If OSHA ever knocks on your door looking for your safety program and documentation, it’s all at your fingertips to share with them if a company has access to a Learning Management System. Because of their value, there is a cost for these types of systems, but as a client, companies can receive over 200 courses at no cost.

#4…And lastly, smart companies recognize that claims can dramatically decrease their profitability and revenue. To combat this issue, many are going through a “4P” process review (Pre-Hire, Post-Offer, Pre-Claim, Post-Claim) which identifies and shores up missing policies and procedures needed to reduce claims and increase your operational efficiency. Statistics show that many claims can be avoided by simply improving your hiring practices.

You will benefit from learning more about these and other strategies that are taught that will to lower your cost of doing business.

To find out what your RiskScore is, or to schedule a free “4P” workshop or process review, or to check for qualification for Free OSHA compliance training, just call or email today.

Now shipping: SmartTOP Convertible Top Controller for Renault Megane CC III

Leave a comment

The SmartTOP add-on convertible top module offered by aftermarket specialist Mods4cars for the Renault Megane CC III is now available and ready to ship. It allows convenient one-touch top operation while driving at slow speeds as well as opening and closing the top from the original factory key remote fob. It comes with a custom designed plug-and-play wiring harness for extremely simple and quick installation.

Las Vegas, NV (USA), Tuesday – January 10, 2012 — Effective immediately, the SmartTOP convertible top kit offered by Mods4cars ( http://www.mods4cars.com ) for the new Renault Megane CC III convertible is in stock and ready to ship. Added convenience features include opening and closing the convertible top at the touch of a button and at speeds of up to 40 km/h (~28 mph). The car will be used with the top down more often, pulling over and holding down the top switch is a thing of the past.

“Our new product also gives drivers the option to open or close their top from afar, with the original key fob”, says PR manager Sven Tornow. “No separate remote fob is needed and changes must be made to the existing remote fobs.” He continues. Megane owners can now lower the top already while walking up to the car or close the top after parking and getting out. On cars equipped with the “keycard handsfree” option the top can even be operated via touch sequences on the driver’s door handle.

The kit comes complete with a custom designed plug-and-play wiring harness for a simple and quick installation. It uses the original Renault connectors and plugs to ensure a perfect fit. The module kit quickly connects to the car electronics without the need to cut or splice separate wires.

Like other modules of the SmartTOP family, it also offers a hand full of bonus features such as a main switch to quickly deactivate the entire module or an extended mode where turning the ignition on or off will not interrupt an ongoing top operation. Thanks to the standard USB connector and a supplied USB cord, all modules can be configured conveniently or the product firmware updated quickly via PC. The support software and all product firmware updates are available online, free of charge, for the life of the product.

The SmartTOP convenience is available not only to Renault owners: Mods4cars offers kits for Alfa, Audi, Bentley, BMW, Ferrari, Ford, Infiniti, Mazda, Mercedes, Mini, Nissan, Opel, Peugeot, Porsche, Volkswagen and Volvo. SmartTOP modules are available for almost all modern convertibles and roadsters on the streets today.

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. For more details visit http://www.mods4cars.com

Etisalat to offer international mobile top-up through Prepay Nation’s North American and European retail channels

Philadelphia, PA (USA), Thursday – January 05, 2012 — Prepay Nation ( http://www.prepaynation.com ), one of the fastest growing providers of international airtime transfers for prepaid mobile operators in emerging nations, has announced an alliance with the largest mobile service provider in the Middle East, Etisalat. Through the partnership, individuals living in the US, Canada, and Europe will be able to transfer small currency values to Etisalat Afghanistan customers in the form of airtime minutes, from a diverse array of convenient retail locations.

The partnership will provide the North America- and Europe-based friends, coworkers, and relatives of Etisalat Afghanistan subscribers with access to instant International Mobile Top Up (IMTU) service through Prepay Nation’s retail distribution network. The service provides a vital avenue through which customers can support their colleagues and loved ones in Afghanistan, instantaneously replenishing their mobile airtime minutes from a nearby partner retailer.

“Etisalat Afghanistan is a pioneer in the market, and we are thrilled to be partnering with them,” said Sarah Feidt, Head of Marketing at Prepay Nation. “Our services bring great value to mobile customers and to their colleagues and loved ones abroad, and Etisalat’s mandate to connect and invigorate Afghanistan’s mobile ecosystem fits perfectly with the unique international connectivity we offer.”

“In regions where international currency transfer can be costly, cumbersome, and often impossible, nothing makes more sense than to send instant support in the form of mobile minutes that everyone needs and uses,” Feidt added. “We’re excited to bring that option to individuals connected to Etisalat Afghanistan subscribers.”

One of the largest telecommunications companies in the world, United Arab Emirates-based Etisalat is the leading operator in the Middle East and Africa, servicing over 100 million customers in 18 countries. The company began operations in Afghanistan in August 2007, and is the fastest growing mobile phone company in the nation. Etisalat provides voice and data services in 31 Afghani provinces and 196 districts, with more than 12,000 retail outlets, and has recently signed a deal with the Afghanistan Telecommunications Regulatory Authority to invest in mobile infrastructure development and provide services in 17 rural Districts.

Etisalat has embraced its mission to play an active role in the growth and prosperity of Afghanistan, from both a mobile and a social perspective.

Antonio “A&R” Richardson Promises Growth in 2012

Leave a comment

Antonio “A&R” Richardson had a great year in 2011, but in 2012 he’ll only get better.

St. Paul, MN (USA), Thursday – January 05, 2012 — For Antonio “A&R” Richardson, 2011 was a year of development. The Saint Paul, Minn. hip hop artist and actor built on the success he experienced in 2009 and 2010 to further challenge himself to only get better.

In 2011, Richardson saw the release of two major motion pictures, DreamWorks’ Transformers 3 and Warner Bros’ Contagion, both of which he had the pleasure of being cast in. He also released Cool Is Where I Live, a mixtape available on his website, ionlygetbetter.com.

Perhaps the most rewarding challenge for Richardson in 2011 was the launch of his brand, Busy Little Beavers. Creating a clothing line has been a lifelong dream for Richardson, who is continuously cultivating his own style to represent his individuality using the newest trends to compliment his classic style. As an entrepreneur, Richardson ( http://www.ionlygetbetter.com ) values innovation, creativity, and ambition. He emphasizes attention to detail and quality in everything he does. Busy Little Beavers is no exception; Richardson takes great care in creating a product that lives up to his values: detail is key; quality is common sense. The name Busy Little Beavers came from a recording studio session Richardson had in April 2011. The name refers to a sound that moved Richardson, “I asked my producer what the sound was called and he told me “Busy Little Beaver”. I couldn’t explain it, but the name struck me.” For Richardson, Busy Little Beavers was the brand he had been trying to formulate his entire life.

Richardson also had the honor of participating in an after school program for the students of Elizabeth Hall Elementary School in Minneapolis, Minn. The program was developed to improve test scores by providing students with a structured environment to increase academic skills through participation in enrichment activities of their choice. When the program was looking for a music teacher for the fourth and fifth grade students, Richardson was a natural choice. “Music has really saved my life, I don’t know where I would be without it”, says Richardson, who was the same age as his students when he began writing music.

Fans can expect 2012 to be just as busy for Richardson, who plans to release both a mixtape and album in the coming months and to continue to build Busy Little Beavers. Richardson also has a few new business ventures on the horizon that will be sure to please his followers. Check for news regarding his upcoming releases on ionlygetbetter.com ( http://www.ionlygetbetter.com ) or follow his journey at twitter.com/anrmusic.
