RemoteTOP Convertible Top Controller for Porsche 911 Carrera Convertible Reduced

Manufacturer Mods4cars has lowered the price for the RemoteTOP add-on Convertible Top Controller for Porsche 911 Carrera (996) Convertibles. The product allows one-touch top operation from the original key fob remote. Effective immediately the kit is available for just 99 Euros/$129.

Las Vegas, NV (USA), March 12th, 2015 — Aftermarket Automotive Electronics specialist Mods4cars has permanently reduced the retail price for the RemoteTOP Convertible Top Controller for Porsche 911 Carrera (996) Convertibles. The kit is now available for 99 Euros/$129 and makes usage of the convertible top more convenient and fun.

The main feature of the chip is the ability to remotely open and close the convertible top, using just the original key fob remote. Holding down the button on the remote for a set time puts the top in motion. A one-touch option can be turned on as well if full automatic top operation is desired.

There are a few additional bonus features such as active interior motion detector (alarm) with the top down, auto locking and unlocking of the doors and a short confirmation sound when locking and unlocking the car. All features can be turned on or off as needed. The entire module can be temporarily disabled as well while retaining all user settings for when it is re-enabled.

“The installation of the RemoteTOP kit is very easy.”, explains PR-Manager Sven Tornow. “Our chip is basically just plugged in between an existing connection.” Since there is no need to cut or splice any wires, it can be installed and later uninstalled quickly, without leaving damage.

Mods4cars has been developing add-on convertible top and convenience controls since 2002. Kits are available for many popular brands such as: Alfa, Audi, Bentley, BMW, Ferrari, Ford, Infiniti, Jaguar, Lamborghini, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mini, Nissan, Opel, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault, Volkswagen and Volvo.

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.

XebiaLabs Launches XL Satellite Technology for Global Software Deployments

Enabling globally-distributed application deployments.

Boston, MA (USA), February 25th, 2015 — XebiaLabs, the leading provider of software for DevOps and Continuous Delivery at scale, today announced the launch of its new XL Satellite technology, available first for application release automation solution XL Deploy. This unique minimal-footprint technology provides intelligent global deployment so companies can easily deploy at scale to datacenters around the world.

Enterprises today have multiple datacenters distributed across the globe, often connected through critical but high-latency, low-bandwidth networks. When software can’t be transferred reliably, it’s impossible to carry out truly global deployments, even with standard agents. XL Satellite technology uses fault-tolerant protocols optimized for WAN connections, providing reliability and scalability for the global deployment process.

“Deploying to tens or hundreds of servers in a single datacenter or cloud region is a reasonably simple problem from a technical perspective,” said Vincent Partington, CTO of XebiaLabs. “Our users are deploying to thousands or tens of thousands of servers spread across the globe and connected by high-latency, low-bandwidth networks. Operating reliably and efficiently at that kind of scale requires new technology. With XL Satellite, we have created the most advanced agentless distributed remote execution framework available today – something no other product on the market can offer.”

XL Satellite Technology Bolsters XL Deploy for Multiple Data Centers:
XL Satellite technology ensures high availability across multiple data centers, whether they’re in the cloud, on premise, or hybrid. XebiaLabs developed this new technology in response to high demand from customers and decision makers in medium and large enterprises with global presence. One satellite per data center handles deployments to local servers agentlessly, limiting maintenance, configuration overhead, and scalability issues. XL Satellite technology brings increased reliability to XL Deploy for distributed enterprise environments.

More About XL Deploy:
XL Deploy automates the deployment process for a company’s software applications, so deployments occur in a repeatable, standard and efficient way. As the leading application release automation software, it helps organizations deliver higher quality software faster. XL Deploy is agentless, model-based and fully automates the last mile of the Continuous Delivery process by eliminating the need for scripting.

XL Deploy also features out-of-the-box integration with all leading build, provisioning, middleware and cloud solutions. The solution combines intelligent deployment automation, a rich content set covering everything from Docker to WebSphere, and seamless integration into the application delivery ecosystem.

Availability:
XL Satellite technology will soon be available as part of the XL Deploy 5.0 enterprise edition release, scheduled for March. For more information visit: http://xebialabs.com/products/ or call (866) 656-4408 or write to sales-us@xebialabs.com.

About XebiaLabs:
XebiaLabs is the fastest-growing global provider of automation software for DevOps and Continuous Delivery, helping companies to accelerate the delivery of new software. XebiaLabs’ products provide the automation, efficiency, and insight organizations want to include continuous delivery as part of their evolving agile development strategies to meet the relentless demand for shorter software deployment cycles and more frequent releases. Founded in 2008 and headquartered in Boston, XebiaLabs has a worldwide network of sales offices and partners. For more information, please visit http://www.xebialabs.com

Prestige Group Launches Six Much-anticipated Residential Developments in Bangalore

Prestige Group, India’s leading developer launched six premium residential developments in the city on 23rd February 2015.

Bangalore, India, 25th February 2015 — Prestige Group, India’s leading developer and the entity responsible for changing the landscape of Bangalore, launched six premium residential developments in the city on 23rd February – Prestige Pinewood, Prestige North Point, Prestige Woodside, Prestige Woodland Park, Prestige MSR and Prestige Bougainvillea.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Irfan Razack – CMD, Prestige Group said, “In South India, the residential sector witnessed a strong demand across all segments in 2014 and this trend is continuing into 2015. Testimony to this is the fact that Prestige recorded the highest ever pre-sales in the residential segment in the last quarter alone (Q2 FY15). There is massive scope in the residential segment, especially in the mid-segment/affordable housing sector, which picked up in demand in 2014, and has continued in the same vein this year. I expect the luxury and premium segment also to grow radically in 2015.”

“All six developments are premium offerings in great locations that provide the best of amenities, while featuring beautiful architecture complemented by extensive landscapes.” he added.

About Prestige Pinewood:
Located in Koramangala (Jakkasandara), Prestige Pinewood is a high-rise residential development. Koramangala, situated in the heart of the city, is one of the most sough-after residential areas in Bangalore, at close proximity to IT hubs and recreational zones.

The property comprises of premium 2, 2.5, 3 and 4 BHK apartments. The development has been designed in a manner such that it offers the finest views of the adjacent landscaped parks. The overall architecture and space planning has been designed to create stylish homes that spell luxury. A well-integrated Clubhouse is closely knit within the towers with modern amenities such as a mini theatre, banquet hall, gymnasium, billiards and table tennis room, a swimming pool and a spa. The building façade is contemporary with straight lines and an imaginative use of understated colors and textures that complement the name ‘Pinewood’. The landscape and views that are captured from all around only enhance the feel of space and unobstructed expanse, making it a truly beautiful place to be. The use of modern tasteful materials and finishes add to the overall theme that the design seeks to achieve.

Prestige North Point:
Located on the main Kammanahalli Road, North of Bangalore and spread across 1.43 acres, Prestige North Point is a mixed-use development, with a single elegant high-rise tower, which is designed to emerge as a landmark building on completion. The ground and first floors are exclusively designed for 12 retail units. 23 floors of apartments have been planned above the retail block. Most of the apartments have been designed such that the living/dining and bedrooms face the street side. All 184 apartments are Vaastu compliant. All apartments have been designed to allow maximum natural light and ventilation. The 2 and 3 BHK apartments range from 1252 sqft to 1972 sqft. The retail space and the apartments are spread over approximately 3.14L sqft of saleable area. The apartment tower overlooks a courtyard on the second floor, which is tucked between the apartments. The courtyard has been treated as a landscape area with water features and lush greenery. The spillover of the apartment lobbies extends over to the central courtyard. Connected to the retail space and the apartments is a separate wing for the Clubhouse and the apartment entrance Lobby. The Clubhouse is spread over two floors with all modern amenities – indoor games, indoor badminton and squash courts to keep active and fit, billiard, table tennis, a separate reading room and a party hall for get-togethers during special occasions, weekends and holidays.

Located on the Banaswadi main road, approximately 5.5 kms from M.G. Road, Prestige Woodland Park is a private residential community spread across 1.52 acres. It comprises of 166 residences in two towers, with a configuration of 18 floors each. Parking is provided at two levels for a total of 198 cars, meeting all resident and visitor requirements of the Prestige Woodland Park community. Recreation facilities are provided under Tower 01 over 2 levels – creating a venue for all ages and associated activities. The layout seeks to incorporate clarity in occupant movement whilst giving a heightened experience of the various spaces created around the structures. The elevated deck along with the pool and deck, not only binds the two towers together, but also creates an environment that encourages residents to use the common areas and engage with each other in a community setting. This raised zone also provides one with a safe environment away from vehicle movement. The tower orientation is optimized to showcase the best views externally. The impact of the public street is reduced by abundant greenery at the entrance that provides privacy and helps in cutting down the noise generated from the public street. The character of the building is strongly defined by the choice of materials, which are highly functional and devised to provide a contemporary look and feel to the development. The drop-off zones to the individual towers are demarcated by a visually distinctive double height lobby, which is flanked by extensive landscapes. A separate lobby for the Clubhouse has been provided. The Clubhouse provides all community facilities such as a Laundromat and recreational facilities like party halls, an indoor games area and a a squash court and gymnasium. On the sustainability front, rain water harvesting systems have been proposed in order to take advantage of the water run-off from the terraces and podium. Latest technological advancements such as solar powered lights, energy saving light fittings, sensor controlled lighting, etc. for the common areas have been proposed to allow for the most efficient use of electricity as well as capturing the naturally available solar power on the site. On the landscape front, in order to encourage water conservation, there are plans to use moisture retention additives, which when added to the soil increase water holding capacity and reduce irrigation demands. Care has also been taken to plant green cover that has low water requirements. Additionally, treated sewage effluents will be recycled for irrigation purposes.

Prestige MSR:
Located in the bustling suburb of Mathikere, Prestige MSR is a high-rise residential development spread across 37,000 sqft, featuring one tower of one hundred exquisitely designed apartments. The development offers 2, 2.5 and 3 bhk residences. The layout and overall planning has been done in a manner to ensure that every apartment has exclusive views of the exterior, in order to maintain the privacy and identity of every unit. The layout of the block works around a central atrium that allows for light and ventilation into the lobbies and other common circulation spaces. The larger 2.5 and 3 BHK units have been placed at the corners whilst the 2 BHK apartments are located in the centre of the block. The overall facade composition is contemporary and expresses the interior planning in the large number of fenestrations and balconies. A Clubhouse provides a myriad of luxury lifestyle amenities including a gymnasium, party hall and swimming pool. These amenities are present at the rear of the building in order to provide privacy from the main road and the building traffic movement, which is restricted to the front of the building. Visitor parking is provided on the ground floor while residents’ parking is allocated in two basements – reducing vehicular movement on the ground. This project is focused on efficiency in design and the outcome is a building which packs in a staggering 100 units, 110 car park spots and a comprehensive set of amenities over 14 floors.

Prestige Bougainvillea – II (Platinum and Indulge):
In a time where we see more concrete than greenery, Prestige Bougainvillea – II stands as a reflection of Bangalore’s old world charm infused effortlessly with a new age touch. Nestled in about 2 acres in the heart of Whitefield, Bougainvillea – II has three types of spacious, high-end bungalows. Each villa is designed to maximize exposure to light and open spaces, with lush lawns on two sides, and the rooms conveniently opening out to them. Double height spaces opening out onto the garden, facilitate free circulation of light and air, thereby opening up the space dramatically. The Hurley Club, spread across four floors, provides activities for people of all ages and is the perfect place to host a small party. With an entire floor dedicated to health and fitness, it is just the place for avid fitness buffs. For those that seek entertainment, there is a fully equipped floor with a theatre and rooms for billiards and cards. The roof-top swimming pool is the highlight and promises to be relaxing and rejuvenating. Bangalore is a city where old-world culture has beautifully amalgamated with new-age lifestyle… Bougainvillea II is designed as a testament to that same attitude.

Elder Pharma Sets Sight on the Rs 800 Crore Nasal Inhaler Segment with Launch of “Solo” Inhalers

* Plans Rural Push for expansion of its Health Care products through distribution expansion. * Lower price points and attractive packaging to boost company’s market share.

Mumbai, India, February 22nd, 2015 — With a firm footing in the Health & Well Being segment, Elder Pharmaceuticals Limited (NSE ELDERPHARM) has expanded its Solo range of OTC products with the launch of Solo range of inhalers for nasal congestion. The Solo basket comprises of Solo Rub, a pain balm, Solo Cough Drops and Solo lozenges for throat soothening. With an eye on the rural markets, the company is also launching these products in smaller sizes and has earmarked a budget of Rs 25 crore for promotional activities.

Elder foresees an 8-10% annual growth in the nasal decongestion market and is banking on substantial growth from Category B & C Towns. The market is presently valued at Rs 800 crore with Vicks from P&G dominating with more than 50% market share. Market for inhalation generic drugs is quite promising for India due to climate change and rapidly aging demographics where 22% of population is above 55 years of age. Although the market leaders are everywhere, there is still a large untapped market in India and Elder is hoping to garner a 7% share of the nasal decongestant market by FY2018.

Says Alok Saxena, Managing Director, Elder Pharmaceuticals Ltd, “Over the counter inhalers are the first level treatment for nasal congestion and doctors / specialists are consulted only if the condition worsens. Rising cost of raw materials, competitive market conditions and over dependency on the urban markets had affected the sales of the company’s OTC products in the recent years. With focus on Price, product mix and penetration, Elder is set to regain its prime position in the OTC sector.”

The market for Cough & Cold care solutions too witnessed a growth of 10% during 2013-14 due to increasingly erratic weather, whereby the temperature kept switching from hot and humid to cold and rainy, further increasing seasonal health problems such as, cough, cold and allergies. It is for this reason that the company has also introduced Solo lozenges in Polypack for better visibility and customer use. An ayurvedic Cough syrup which gives more than 12 hours of relief and has no side effects is also ready for launch in April 2015.

India’s Fast Moving Health Goods (FMHG) sector has shown higher growth of 18% in Rural areas as compared to 11% in urban areas. Although, urban areas have high spending propensity, there has been a rise in disposable incomes levels in the rural economy and consequently in demand for FMHG products.

Add Saxena, “In view of the highly competitive nature of the industries we operate in, we plan to focus on branding, Packaging upgrades, wider distribution and innovation to make our brands successful. The company has also lined up marketing strategies to offer combination products for an attractive price in order to lure the rural consumers to try out it new launches.”

Author Writes Book of Proverbs to Guide Others through Life’s Challenges

Caribbean Author Lawrence Elliott says you can apply certain Christian principals to your life to overcome any struggle and be successful.

Nassau, Bahamas, February 20th, 2014 — Caribbean Author Lawrence Elliott says you can apply certain Christian principals to your life to overcome any struggle and be successful. That’s why he wrote a book called, “Practical Proverbs for Everyday Living,” which was recently released by Halo Publishing International.

“You cannot avoid all of the negative situations that come into your life. They are there for a purpose, to help you grow,” says Elliott. “But you can avoid the unnecessary situations that bring pain, regret and despair by practicing the proverbs in this book.”

Elliott says “some of the main areas that people struggle with are home and family; love and relationships; and wisdom and knowledge.” He has dedicated chapters to these areas. Altogether, the book holds more than 300 proverbs, along with his experiences and others that will help the reader to be equipped to live a victorious successful life.”

For example one proverb from the first chapter says:

“A fool is one who becomes aware of God’s plan for his life but rejects the assignment.”

Elliott recalls a time when he rejected public speaking opportunities. It wasn’t until a pastor’s wife called and told him that she prayed to the Lord for speakers for their conference and saw him in a dream speaking at the conference, which caused his heart to change. Elliott says “he finally accepted the invitation to speak publicly.” He continues to speak today at different forums.

“While Elliott’s book is similar to the Book of Proverbs in the Bible,” says Halo International Publisher Lisa M. Umina. “It’s different because it reflects a 21st century version.”

Elliott says there are things that people struggle with that are not in the Bible, such as: cell phones, social media, internet, etc. Some people don’t know how to use these tools in a positive way, but by applying the principals in his book, Elliott believes anyone can overcome life’s challenges.

You can purchase “Practical Proverbs for Everyday Living,” at www.HaloPublishing.com. It sells for $13.95.

Biography:
A native of the Bahamas, Author Lawrence Elliott’s passion is to teach the laws of life in a practical way. He volunteers weekly teaching and mentoring junior high school boy’s biblical principals through an organization called Christian Boys Movement. He has also taught “at risk” high school boys the principals of life as well. Elliott hopes to release more books in the future. He lives with his wife, Deborah in Nassau.

Convertible Top Switch Reversible: SmartTOP for BMW 4 and 6 Series Receives New Feature

The SmartTOP add-on Convertible Top Controllers for BMW 4 Series and 6 Series Convertibles bring One-Touch convenience to the center console switch and allow use of the top while driving at slow speeds. They also enable remote operation from the original key fob remote. The manufacturer Mods4cars now added another function via firmware update: The ability to reverse the direction of operation for the console switch.

Las Vegas, NV (USA), February 19th, 2014 — The SmartTOP Convertible Top Controllers made by aftermarket automotive electronics specialist Mods4cars are add-on kits that provide convenience and simplify top operation. It is possible to open and close the top while driving at slow speeds with just a single tap. The switch no longer needs to be held down for the entire duration of the operation.

Additionally, the kits allow owners to use their original factory key remotes to open and close the top from afar. SmartTOP customers can already open their top while still approaching the car. A quick key combination on the remote sets the top in motion. At the first sign of impending rainfall the top can be quickly closed without the need to run and get in the car first. No changes need to be made to either the keys or the receiver systems.

Apart from these two main functions all SmartTOP modules come with bonus features depending on the car. The kits for BMW 4 Series (F33) and BMW 6 Series (F12) now received an update to include a new feature: If so desired, the direction of operation for the console switch can be reversed. “For some of our customers the new factory default on some models is counter intuitive. The switch needs to be pulled to open and pushed to close.” explains PR-Manager Sven Tornow.

The new SmartTOP feature allows customers to select their own preferred way on any model. Pull to open or push to open. Currently all US models come with the switch working the opposite way as on Euro (and other) models. With SmartTOP all customers can choose which way they like, no matter where they are and which way the switch came from the factory.

Mods4cars continually works on improving existing products and gladly takes customer feedback into consideration. New and existing customers get to profit from new features and updates. All SmartTOP modules come with a USB port and can be configured and updated free of charge with a program available for Windows and Mac.

The SmartTOP Convertible Top Controllers for BMW 4 Series and 6 Series Convertibles come with a host of bonus features. The windows can be controlled by remote separately from the top. An extended mode allows starting or stopping the engine while the top is still moving and the modules can be temporarily disabled while retaining all user configuration settings. Both come with a full plug-and-play wiring adapter for quick and easy installation and removal without leaving any traces or damage.

SmartTOP kits are available for: Alfa, Audi, Bentley, BMW, Ferrari, Ford, Infiniti, Jaguar, Lamborghini, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mini, Nissan, Opel, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault, Volvo and VW. Other BMW models like 1 Series, 3 Series, Z4 and Mini are also supported. The complete kits for BMW 4 Series F33 and BMW 6 Series F12 are available for 299 Euros + tax each.

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.
